Hi. I'm in southern California where it does get pretty warm. I stated I've never had a bug problem but after watching your video and learning what to look for, upon close inspection of my succulents I found a small patch of white powdery substance on one. I cleaned it off with alcohol and all is well. Thank you! Also, while at Lowe's today picking up some succulent nutrient, i found quite a few fallen leaves under the succulent table. One even had a little pup growing on it already. I'm going to try to propagate them. Love your videos, bye!

Hi, Brady! I’m so glad you caught that infestation at a very early stage. That’s the best preventive. I think picking them up is a good idea ‘cause they would just sweep those fallen leaves out and would end up in the trash to die, so it’s pretty much saving them. You got yourself some instant propagations. See how they would sprout even without misting? 😁 Thank you for sharing this little story with us. I really appreciate it. More and more blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈

Hi! I love your videos they teach me a lot and I’ve purchased a lot of succulents lately. I believe one of the succulent plants I purchased brought in a fungus nat infestation. I was wondering if you can give advice on how to kill them off before it gets out of hand. I’m worried about the larvae that will stay in the soil and kill the roots, and not so much the annoying flies. Any tips? I see that boiling the soil or putting it in the oven will kill off any pesky larvae. What do you think? Thank you!

Hello Reta, I would still recommend the All Seasons Horticultural Spray Oil that I shared in this video. But be careful not to use it when temperatures are high.

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. Great video! I just started getting involved with succulents so I’m trying to learn all about them. My question is about soil. What brands of soil do you use for your succulents? I’m using potting cactus soil by miracle grow BUT it doesn’t seem to dry quick enough. Maybe it takes a month for the dirt to dry out...? I’m afraid there’s going to be root rot. Help! 🤓

@SucculentFame

Hi Amie Lynn, I have used Miracle Gro and other brands, too. It’s a good brand. You’ll be surprised at how many brands and textures of soil out there. What matters most is that you don’t water until the soil is completely dry. So, please space out your watering interval. I’m concerned about your statement that it takes a month for the dirt to dry out. How often do you water then? How’s the temperature out there? In the entire winter months, which is roughly about 3 months, I only get to water once. In the summer, I think I only water around 3 to 4 times A MONTH. I’ll wait for your response. Thank you so much for asking your questions. I really appreciate it. Blessings to you! ❤️☺️🌈

Succulent Fame Hi, thanks for responding. I just moved to south Florida last year. So there lots of heat, humidity, sun and rain, so I really don’t water them in the summer due to it raining a little every day. The succulents I have are planted in the miracle grow cactus soil plus they are in pots and they sit outside in my lanai area but when it rains too much I have to move them under shelter but then they don’t get enough sun. How long should it take for the soil to dry? Not sure what to do with them. 🤔 Should I Repot them and add extra Perlite or Coco coir? Or something else? How often can you repot succulents?

@SucculentFame

5 жыл бұрын

I would say wait it out, but don’t leave them out in the rain if the soil is already wet. If they look like they are drinking too much though, (leaves starting to look heavy; don’t wait for the leaves to start looking soggy & translucent) I suggest that you dig them out and expose the soil around the root area. Try to remove as much of the wet soil. You shouldn’t repot your succulents too often, but if it is to save it from drinking too much (they will try to absorb water as long as it is available) I really would suggest digging it out to remove as much wet soil as you can and as I’ve mentioned, allow the root to air dry (probably at least one day if it’s hot out there and not exposed to the sun at all). Then replant them in dry soil. I hope they’ll pull through. Early detection is key, so you are on the right track by asking this soon. Thanks again, Amie Lynn. ❤️😃

Hi Succulent Fame! I have a little question about my purple echeveria, because I learned a lot from your "how to propagate succulents part 1 & 2" but i'm not sure what to do. After watching part 1, I cut the top of my purple echeveria because it was elongating, and i put it in moist soil. But after 3/4 days i watched your part 2 video and you said you shouldn't put it in wet/moist soil. So I looked at my echeveria and it is indeed not growing roots yet, but the tip is a little dry (i'm not sure if it is fully callused). Do you maybe know what I should do? should I put it out the moist soil and let it fully callus or should i let it in, or something else maybe? I hope you know the answer. keep up the awesome videos! :D

I am having my very first mealy bug problem. I have not seen an infestation but I have found the random bug on a few of y plants. I have isolated and been treating with alcohol, dawn soap, and water to kill but even though I think I am making headway, I check my string of turtles and boom, there they are while this plant is alone in my bathroom. How can I take care of this? I have sprinkled a systemic killer on the soil of my plants that both have them and that have not shown any yet but it is destroying my burros tail succulent. I chopped and propigated the entire plant and I an scared to death. Can you please tell me how I can protect against them from spreading to my healthy plants?

Hello Megan, for some reason those bugs are only attracted to some succulents and not all. So I don’t think you’ll end up with a full blown infestation. I’ve had some on some of my succulents and it seems like it happens to the same ones yearly when the weather is super dry. Those bugs hate water so try to water more often in the summer, but please also consider not to overwater. 70% alcohol breaks their barrier. Water can’t seem to do so. So spraying with alcohol would tear down their barrier, then maybe be follow up with water. I can’t guarantee that it will work 100% with preventing infestation, but it helps me a lot. Of course, I’m no expert in this matter, but I do share what works for me. I stopped using bug killers ‘cause I’m scared that it might not be 100% safe, but then of course, I wouldn’t really know whether it is or not with short term use. So to be on the safer side, I just use alcohol. I hope this helps. And lastly, as I’ve mentioned earlier, I think they won’t affect all of your succulents. I’m not sure why they go for the same succulents every year. 😅 Thank you for the comment. I have just started responding to all of them. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

Hello Mrs Darcy, I’m not quite sure what’s going on. I’m still thinking it’s an issue with watering. It also has something to do with the soil. If you are using cactus soil mix, it’s likely that it’s been underwatered. Cactus soil mix is too fast draining that it doesn’t retain water long enough. If you are using cactus soil mix, make sure that it is completely soaked. Slow drip is the better way to go to avoid wasting water. I’ve been wanting to share my observation in a video. I just need to find time to do it. Thank you for the inquiry! I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

I’m about a month behind right now. 😔😅Thank you so much for leaving an inquiry. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

It seems like it. In fact, there are lady bugs that can be bought online so they can feed on plant pests. Huge apologies for the late response. Thank you so much for the comment! Wishing you the greatest of health, the biggest of blessings and the purest of love! ❤️💰

Great video, the best I’ve seen so far and I’ve seen a lot! I can’t tell what pests I have, actually I think I have a couple different kinds. What about need oil?

Hi Corrine, are you referring to neem oil? Some say neem oil works, too. Thank you so much for the inquiry. I really appreciate it. Huge apologies for the very late response. Wishing you love, blessings, health and happiness! ❤️🙏💫

I applied horticulture oil on my succulent but they destroyed the farina. :(

Hi! Yes, that could happen. It’s a bit of a trade off if you have some bad infestation. The upside is that newer and more perfect leaves will grow and as long as the mealy bugs are at bay. I hope your succulents are all better now. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries.

Sheila, thank you for sharing your tips. I have been using 70% alcohol straight from the bottle without any dilution in my battles with aphids and mealy bugs. I may have to use the Horticultural & Dormant Spray Oil in addition to the alcohol if I am losing the war against them.

Alcohol should do the trick. 70% is perfect. Alcohol will not prevent them, but it does a great job of killing them. Spray oil works both ways, preventive and pesticide. As long as you’re on top of early detection, you’re good with alcohol. You’re doing an awesome job! Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate it! ❤️☺️🌈

Sheila, one piece of information I forgot to mention is that when applying alcohol and perhaps any type of horticultural oil on your succulents, you should not apply it when the sun is shining on the leaves. Before the alcohol or oil has had a opportunity to dry, the sun may cause the leaves to burn even on cool days. Keep up the great work. I really like your videos.
