This channel is so far different from the ones that I've watched. It's just "cool" how you treat them... So mature... :) Thanks for those videos..

Your son Zach is adorable and his driving made me lol. Looks like he likes obstacles in his path because he went right back under the table right after you freed him lol. This was great information and hopefully others won't be so fearful to behead their echeveria. I know the first time I beheaded one of mines was nerve wrecking. Your collection is to die for😊❤️👍.

First time watching your videos. Excellent. Answered a lot of my questions and I learned new things. Wasn’t sure what to do with the flowers. Never done the head chopping either. I love that you include your kids too. I’ll watch more. Thanks! Your garden surrounding your yard is beautiful.

Thank you for clear instructions. I beheaded mine last week. All is well. God bless you

I love your videos. Your son is adorable. I'm new to the world of succulents. I'm learning new stuff daily.

Fascinating, can’t wait to see how the stumps go.

I love how you have succulents planted in pots in the ground surrounded with the stone. Beautiful! I might be able to grow them here like that outside.

Wonderful information and quite entertaining as well.

New subscriber here, I feel like you're a Filipino. I'm a beginner to collect succulents. I fell in love with them and makes me feel happy especially I'm on my depression stage from my mom's passing.

Love your videos and am learning so much. I already have a huge garden with fruit trees. I was taught from many classes to use 70 alcohol (find at a discount store) sprayed on my tools before using. I have a spray bottle kept on my shelf and I just spray the tool. It is simple and good.

That's a pretty good idea actually. I never thought of keeping a spray bottle with alcohol in it. Then again I don't use my tools for cutting that often so I would not think about that right away.

You have a very calm voice and a great presence ! Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I’m a newbie . What do You do after you cut the heads after they dry ? Plant them in soil ?

It is advisable to do the beheading in spring or when the weather is starting to warm up. Beheading in the fall or early winter will promote fungi/mold at the cut which will kill the stem and the head of the plant.

@Cerriscapades

4 жыл бұрын

I'm of the same mind. I believe it is best to do it when they are actively growing (e.g. warmer months for Echeveria, cooler months for Aeonium, etc).

Newbie I am and your video are so educational. Thank-you. I live in Utah so I cannot raise them outdoors like you can so I could use any information you can give me on raising them indoors for the winter.

Hi Steven, unfortunately my main content is in vlog format, so they are lengthy and cover multiple topics. If you are not in a rush I'd suggest just going through them, but otherwise if there's something specific that you need you could just ask in the comments and I'll see if I can answer your question, or point you to a related video.

Great video, have a couple that need to be head.🙃

@Cerriscapades Have you ever tried going even further and cutting off a second section of the meristem large enough to plant separately from the top and bottom, see if it will root (it most likely will), and produce a third plant that'll grow pups? If not, it would be an interesting experiment. I've done it with jade and stonecrop and it worked. I started this just a couple days ago with a small sempervivum that was falling over like you talked about, but haven't had time to see if it will work yet. If you do try it you should only risk losing the middle piece, at least. This is just an idea that I thought I would share with you. 🍀

This is perfectly timed! I live in a northern climate and we’re going into fall so I’m moving things inside. Thanks for showing some that you did in the fall and for the reminder that they’ll take longer to get started ☺️ Any suggestions for ‘tricking’ echeveria into thinking it’s spring when they’re indoors?

@Cerriscapades

5 жыл бұрын

You're welcome! As for your question, you pretty much just need to provide enough light via grow lights and warmth to offset the winter. Personally though I will allow them to go dormant. Just give them enough light during the day so they do not stretch. In other words, you are recreating the same length of day you are getting in winter indoors, just a bit less colder. Keep it cold but not cold enough to freeze. Maybe around your 40-60°F range night time temps would be alright. Allowing them to rest during their normal period of dormancy will make them grow a lot more robust when your spring arrives next year!

I originally had these in the ground for fast growth. Once they stagnated or slowed down, I moved them into these pots. Now that I reset them, I will probably plant them in the ground again for fast growth, as well as to see how big they can go this round.

Hi Chuck, I’m starting my youtube about succ and cactus. Loving my collection but not like yours as they are very healthy and big! beautiful garden any tips?!

LIKE.

Chuck,when do you sell your plants ?do you have an open house?

Can re-potting the plant with fertilizer and then chopping it help to speed-up growth on the chopped stem? You have amazing specimen plants, maybe enter some of them to a succulent show? Thanks for the tips!

@Cerriscapades

5 жыл бұрын

Yeah, this makes sense for the beheaded stem. Don't do it on the head though because if you fertilize it, you're forcing it to grow and it will stretch unnecessarily. So what I would do is to fertilize AFTER beheading, and only on the stump with the roots.

Hi Chuck, what size pot are they? They look like enormous Echeverias. I’ve never seen any that big in real life... yet! I hope some of mine get that size eventually. Your plants are in such good shape. It looks like they made it through winter unscathed.

Some of them shrunk a lot, some are soooo dry (mostly the young ones), and some have fungus. The ones with fungus have lost some leaves but thankfully no stem rot. I haven't looked every single plant yet, so yeah haha! As for those bloom pots, they are 33cm and 37cm in diameter.

I tried to propagate from stem leafs. It never works. I can't understand why. But regular leaf propagation works great.

Do you have a lot of the underneath leaves on the head die out as it is waiting to root? I feel like when I chop the head I lose about 25% of its size!

Interesting, and very helpful. Thank you, but the music is distracting.

Hi there. Is it better to use shallow pots for these Echevarias?

A "turkey neck" succulent - LOL. That made me laugh. Now I can't unsee it. Great video, very enjoyable and informative!

Do you water the head after they dry? How long you waited to water the head? I have just beheaded my Echeveria ruffles, and 2 of the lower leaves feels soft and I’m afraid it’s dying 😢.. please help 🙏🏻

Do the cut off tops not get watered at all in the month they are sitting in open pots?

I stumbled across your videos and have become a fan. I'm a newbie to succulents and already I've spent a ton of money. How much would you say you've spent when you were first starting out?

I started out with 4 pieces of Echeveria elegans, which I each got for $2.50. So I spent $10. Then I moved on to asking for some Echeveria imbricata from some friends. Then bought an assorted cuttings pack from Attila Kapitany for $100. After that I got in touch with an echeveria collector who was selling some pups. Through the years I have spent a few hundred on his plants. The spending slowed down a year later when I completed my first full season, and by then I already knew that I wanted to focus on echeveria. So now I don't buy often, but when I do I spend a few hundred in a go haha!

Hi, I love your collection. I live in Sydney, and I am interested in buying one of the frilly Echeveria, e.g.. Barbillon, or baron bold or Etna. Would you be able to suggest a place from where I can buy. I did look up MLD succulents, they have none at the moment.

Do you water the head while waiting for it to root?

If a plant has many small-sized pups, which are too small to harvest, is it a good idea to remove some bottom leaves from the dominant offset and allow more light and air to reach the smaller pups?

@Cerriscapades

2 жыл бұрын

It's a good idea for airflow (and reducing the chances of fungus growing), but not necessary if the goal is to provide light, because the parent plant can still provide food for them. They eventually will grow big enough to push out from under the parent plant, and they will get their own light. If they start getting direct light early, it may or may not be too hot for them and might slow down their growth a bit. I generally just let them do their thing and only intervene if there's risk of fungus growing.

Do you leave all those outside during winter?

my echeveria (black prince) has a good stem but i dont know if i should leave it for now or behead it now and my black prince leaves doesnt look like its propagating.... its now 2 weeks... should i wait it out?

Hi Lori, I live in Melbourne, Australia, and we have an equivalent of somewhere between 9b and 10a, so in winter it is usually above freezing but we occasionally get particularly cold nights where it dips to freezing or just below freezing. During summer it can get quite hot. Average day time temperature would be 35°C (95°F) but we get occasional heatwaves, pushing the temperatures up to 45-50°C (113-122°F).
