Hello Ma'am Liz, just wondering I believe your summers there in Australia is much hotter than here in PH but still many of the none heat loving succies thrive on you.can you pleeaase give some advise or theories? Because I have put some into test k(or torturing as you say 🤣) last summer and all of the died 😅 are your summers have cold nights?
Hi Louie, "Acclimatization of succulents" is not an overnight process. It can sometimes take months depending on the species. Unless you know how and where the plant is grown; one can't just take succulents from the shops and exposed it straight into the sun. They'll die. Here's a scenario... If you take a sun hardened/"tortured" succulent and put it in the shade(as in transit for a week), then put it out in the sun straightaway, it will die. You need to acclimatize it again by putting it in... Below is the minimum acclimatization process my succulent go through. 1. Bright lit area (no sun) for a week. 2. Put it in morning sun for a week. 3. Put it in morning sun and partial midday sun for another week. 4. Morning, midday, part afternoon sun for one week. 5. GRADUATION DAY. It can now stay in full sun.
Hi po mis liz. gandang ganda po talaga ako s mga succulents m.lalo n po kay romeo n nka pot kay juliet.nakkatuwa po mga succulents m po lalo n po pag ngiiba n cla ng kulay..
I use different soil mix depending on the plant, type of pot and also the climate in where I live. There's video links below this video in the description box for my different soil mixes. Thanks for watching.
Hi Liz, I am in Oregon, USA. I am a very experienced gardener. But new to succulents/cactus world. I am happy to find you and learn from you. I find your channel very informative and funny. Keep up the good work. The weather here in Oregon can get below freezing a few days every year. So I am particularly interested in hardiness and winter protection. Also, winter dormant. Thanks a lot!!!
Most of my videos talks about the different hardiness of specific succulents since there are so many genus/species/cultivar. Even ones of the same species can have different hardiness and growing requirements. Thanks for watching and best of luck with your succulent journey.
I am addicted to your shows. I live in central Ontario Canada it can get down to minus37at times but not too often. I have recently bought 3 moon cactus &they are in hangers in my kitchen window where they get lots of morning sun. I cant wait for the nurseries to open. I am learning a lot from your episodes so thank you.
I'm glad to hear you're enjoying my videos Carol. 37°F is still pretty warm. You can grow all the succulents that I have in your area and much more. A lot of my plants have experienced -11°Celcius or 12°Fahrenheit.
Yes wonderful advice! Here in the pacific northwest it is cold and I am stressing my babies for excellent strength and my favorite is my flapjack and Lola right now 🥰🌲☁️🌱
Hi i have a question, i live in Alaska. Is it possible that i can grow my succulents indoor? Or do i need a plant light since we don't get a lot of sun during winter.
Hola Liz, a useful new vídeo because now in Europe is winter season and it s very cold. I live in South Europe and temperatures are not so cold than in Australia in winter. Thanks from Mallorca island ( Spain)
Wow perfect timing Lizzy😊❤️😊. It rained the other day followed by couple days of 28 - 30 degrees Fahrenheit low in temps half the night and early morning.... My succulents so far are doing well. I did pulled some of the succulents though that got really wilted from being too cold from last frost. Thank you for educating us! We love you so much ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What is that cute succulent at 23:23 to the right (looks like snowball raspberry)? I mostly plant my succulents into the ground and so far, Debbie, Blue Bird and Superbum has root rot, brown and green spots during winter. The lowest it's gotten here is 36F
Hello Liz, you got me started my 1st succulent plants. ? 1 has substance like sticky honey on all leaves under and over. I'm in Florida. Plants inside sunny air control room.
Hello Liz. So happy to hear from you. Silly me don't know name of my plant yet or how to send a pic. Will do my research! So moved plant outside,spray with mist of vinegar drop of dish soap and water. I am watching it. Talk soon G
Hi Liz we had a cold snap in Tennessee and one of my plants Hildebrant is weeping and Im not sure what to do for her? I brought her in her house already & is and established potted plant. Help
Thank you for this! I was wondering how frost hardy my succulents are because we are just now getting below 30 F here in Dallas. This is my first successful year with the succulents and I sure didn’t want to lose them to frost. I was amazed how hardy they all are.
Hi Albert, May I suggest for your first year... If you're going to leave them somewhere out; to make sure there's overhead covering so the dew doesn't settle on them. Good luck and keep an eye on the weather forecast. Thanks for watching.
Depends what you mean by shade. On 2:27 of this video, this is my shaded area and as you can see from the video, there's a lot of species of succulents I have growing here. From Echeveria, graptoveria, kalanchoe, euphorbia, gasteria, aloe and so much more.
Kedves Liz.Köszönöm Neked ezt a videót. Eddig nem mertem tartani echeveriát , mert nincs módom lakásban teleltetni őket. Most viszont nagy kedvet kaptam,hogy igen, óvatosan lehet a szabadban tartani jó néhány fajtát. Üdvözlet Magyarországról.
Nagyon sok Echeveria vagy rozetta alakú pozsgás van, amely bizonyos mennyiségű fagyot elvisel. Ha mégis esik a hó, azt javaslom, hogy télen vigye be őket a lakásba. A felettük lévő kis LED-es lámpa télre kompakt állapotban tartja őket, majd tavasszal kihozzák őket, hogy élvezhessék a kültéri hangulatot. Köszönöm, hogy megnézted, és remélem minden sikerül.
Hi Liz, since became a fan of yours and being a beginner in growing succulents, I bought most of the plants you featured ( not the very expensive ones of course). When are you going to open an online store? Don’t say you don’t have enough, we can see your babies. LOL
I don't have enough....LOL If I sell them, I wouldn't have any to show on my videos....Would I? Hehehe. Kidding aside, the ones I want to sell are the rare and pretty ones which takes a long time to grow and I really don't have enough. If I have even 10 of each variety, that would still take a long time to propagate and grow to sell. Most of what I have available to sell locally(I sell only pick-up) are common ones, which I find nobody wants to buy.
You have taken everything that we are taught about growing succulents and totally turned it around LOL but it's a wonderful thing! I'm not saying that it's a bad thing at all you are doing what needs to be done as far as I'm concerned. And at the same time you're also allowing the plant to live and survive without a lot of human interference. Would you say that fat chubby leave succulents are better in the frost than thin leaf succulents or is it the other way around? Okay back to the video
On fat chubby leaves survival......I would say no. It really depends on the species and acclimatization. For ex., A lot of sedums have thin leaves but survives being covered in snow. Lewisia Cotyledon has thin leaves and yet can survive -50°C. Sempervivum have thin leaves and yet also snow hardy. My Aeonium Lily Pad is a good example of having fat leaves when mature but suffered the frost on its first year and have grown marvelously on it's 2nd and third year. Originating from the Canary Islands which is a sub-tropical climate and according to some info on them....They're not supposed to be sun-hardy and yet I grow mine in the searing Australian sun. The mind boggles...
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK well I was actually thinking exactly that. That the fat chubby ones would have a harder time and the thin ones would take it easier because the fatter the leaf on a succulent the more water it has, water storage. So it has more surface area to freeze and absolutely more potential to freeze. it is kind of baffling because you would think the fat chubby ones would be more protected but once again succulents are their own enigma LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I don't know about their pink jelly beans but My pink jelly beans are frost hardy...LOL It's the one at 21:05 of this video and it's the one also featured on my Jelly Bean video. They're the same exact plant.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK yes, this is what I saw from yours, thank you for confirming,.I will acclimatise mine too in the future when I have more. Now I only have two pink one. 😍
Hi I love watching you're a video everything looks so healthy and amazing even though I know the weather I hope that one day you can help me to start a very small succulent garden I can bye if you decide to sell it to me have a blessed day ever since I've been
just had a bunch of plants show up in the mail all damaged by the cold.. heat packs dont work after a week delay in the mail >_< hoping i can get them to recover.. how do you know when its too late and the cold has killed it?
I would have to say that "probably" the heat pack is what's cause the damage. If succulents are packed in just paper or bubble wrap or even paper towel, they would have a better chance of surviving the cold than having heat packs. Just leave them to air dry and wait and see. If they go black and shrivel up or rot, then you'll know they're a goner.
Out in the open, -2°C is the limit and can still be revived but will have scars. In an overhead covered area, -4 is still okay. I leave the normal one outside in my covered area and bring the variegated one indoors under the grow light.🥰
Leggy babies means they need more light. Expose them slowly to a more brightly lit area that doesn't have direct sunlight on them. Otherwise, a grow light will be useful.
Thank you for the in detail explanation care, or torture🤣🤣🤣 , temp, for succulents in different areas in your garden. I'm afraid of doing so, torture I'm affraid they will die, I have killed some for inexperience. Thanks again and for showing specific succulents that can survive cold temps. I 🤗
I live in Vancouver,BC most of the succulents that is sold her isn’t suitable for the wet cold weather i learned except for the different kinds of sedum and hens and chicks.
Oh I have a question for you LOL yes another one! I had a friend Ives and noticed it was tipping. Nothing else at all wrong with it. Not over watered so water has nothing to do with one I'm about to tell you. The stem was literally rotted out halfway through where it was tipping over so I cut it and ripped apart the stem looking for signs of bug infestation and there were no nematodes or mealybugs but there were little teeny teeny teeny almost microscopic little tiny white things zooming around inside of the rotted Part. They didn't look like mealybugs because they didn't have any stuff. But they were moving fast. What do you think they were? I threw away all the soil sprayed everything down with alcohol, all of my utensils and containers and the pot I washed everything with warm soapy water and I cut the plant and put rooting hormone on it and I have it in a rack. There's absolutely no sign of any type of bug on the plant itself it was only inside the rotting part of the root
@@stephanieadams4388 you know I was bottom watering the other day and I have a little black plastic container that I put the pots in and I saw something in the water. But since we have well water I just chalked it up to a microorganism. I just really hope I didn't put multiple pots in that black tray afterwards! They were so tiny and so fast! I'm going to buy a systemic pesticide I have to at this point
I don't know. I have "friendly' white microscopic fast moving bugs running around on the edge of my pots under the grow light. No visible damage to my plants so far. When they get too much(they run up to my fingers), I spray them with 1 Tbsp. Tea tree oil, 1 Tbsp. Eucalyptus oil and 1 Tbsp. dishwashing liquid in 1.5 liters of water/bottle sprayer. It seems to control them as I don't see them again for days.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK I'm on Amazon looking up systemic pesticides right now maybe a horticultural grade neem oil. I do have pure cold pressed neem oil but I bought it from a beauty supply place and only used it once because I ended up with a lot of damage so I think horticultural grade might be better as a soil soak. But I just watered so now I have to wait possibly two to three more weeks before I can do it LOL fingers crossed nothing rots out in the meantime
@@janetac1738 I live in the states and I have the systematic powder stuff. I still havent used it yet. I have had a few just randomly have this rotting look and then the tiny white bugs. I didnt think much about the bugs but I figured Nats or mites had ate away at roots or something to cause the plant to rot. Most of my plants that dont make it is bc of this fine 1 day and rotted out the next problem. Wish I knew what it was. I've made tons of improvements on how I care for my plants thanks to Liz. If my soil mixture is the problem I think its bc I used some compost soil for my terrarium and then got it mixed up and potted my succulent plants with the same mix along with the drainage materials I add. I think the succulents dont need that rich, composted soil or the bugs love it and then they love my plant roots. Lol.
Perhaps you should use the word “stressed” instead of “tortured” as we do in the USA. It’s more politically correct I imagine, but I’m sure you’ve already heard this numerous times. Love you, your babies, and your videos. Thank you.
Thanks for watching and the input Jack. I do have a problem with the word "stressed." I associate it with stressed people. Stressed people don't look very good and are not very well and some are....pushed to the limit. I stressed every time I hear that word. I've seen a lot of stressed succulents and they look nothing like my succulents...LOL Most of them although nicely coloured, are either soft, limp, no babies, dried up and closed off... Which are opposite to how my succulents look apart from the coloring of course. We really have to think of another word...

Do you mean dormant? They go dormant when it gets too hot or too cold.

Most of them although nicely coloured, are either soft, limp, no babies, dried up and closed off... Which are opposite to how my succulents look apart from the coloring of course. We really have to think of another word...
