    It very much depends on where you are in the world. If your climate has mild enough summers and cold winters you may want to go for Sempervivum and frost hardy Sedum- they grow low to the ground and are a great for making succulent art. They can also withstand freezing temperatures. If the winters are mild (no snow, mild frosts) Echeveria, Graptopetalum, Sedeveria can be good choice. If you want something that will survive indoors Haworthia or Rhipsalis can be a good choice. Hope this helps 🙂 @@arthurma8072

    I've never had this experience, but yes, succulents are frequently bought in very small pots and generally after buying it would be common that they would almost immediately be transplanted. The combination of transplanting and probably placing the plant in an area different from where had previous been located (different amount of sun or temperature) could compound the shock of change. Could be best to allow the plant to acclimatize for a couple of weeks before transplanting.

    You see it all the time on Facebook, people repot and they use just straight potting soil and don't even think to use an actual cactus and succulent mix. Even that isn't good enough. The cactus soil should be mixed 50/50 with pumice. I prefer terra cotta pots but with a well draining soil a plastic pot will do just fine. In drier climes or extensive collections this could be preferable because clay pots are heavy. Now if I can just fix my Dudliya...

    So, in my experience, and it might sound crazy, but I guarantee you - plain sphagnum moss works so well. We have to rethink our understanding of plants with succulents, and even with some houseplants. Have you seen the succulent-topped pumpkins? Decorations for Halloween, all over KZread. Basically, if you glue some dried sphagnum moss to any object, whether a pumpkin, driftwood, a wreath, etc., and hot-glue (or otherwise securely attach) succulent cuttings to it, they grow incredibly well. The aeration, the drainage, and the way the moss stays moist but dries out quickly. I’ve done it many times, which led me to try potting succulents in ONLY sphagnum moss, and guess what! Those plants do SO much better. I’ll then put a top layer of gravel to keep the moisture in. Overall, I feel like sphagnum moss as a substrate is highly underrated for succulents. Soil tends to be just too wet, too rich and too nutritious, really. I mean, don’t get me wrong, soil is of course good, I use it all the time! But for most plants, even non succulents, you need to add more rocky, inert drainage materials. Any soil mix bought from the store needs to be amended, in my opinion. Unless you’re extremely diligent with watering & making sure it’s not staying wet, but even so. I like to see water drain quickly. I always add more inert drainage ingredients to all my soils. Perlite, pumice, charcoal, lava rock, zeolite, LECA clay balls, some sand, even decomposed granite is good, too... anything to lighten the soil. Visually, if your soil appears to be more like chocolate or mud, it needs more white and lighter colored materials added. Succulents barely require any nutrition at all. The little bit of soil is just fine for them to thrive on. If you’re worried there’s not enough nutrition, s pinch of Osmocote or pelleted fertilizer in the substrate is more than sufficient for an entire year. Instead of adding drainage to my soil mix, I think of it the opposite way-adding a little soil to my drainage mix!

    Thanks for sharing your experience 🙂I'm glad you found a way of growing that works for you. From personal experience, i'll have to disagree on the sphagnum moss and potting mix front. Please know that i'm not trying to discredit what you wrote, it clearly works for you and that is awesome. It's common to have different experience with growing plants as so much will depend on the climate, weather, overall growing conditions, types of succulents you're growing etc. I'm just going to explain why, personally, i'm not a fan. I've been a grower for over 10 years and know other nursery owners that do grow this way/import succulents in sphagnum moss. Their succulents are strictly grown in climate controlled greenhouses and fertilized with a liquid formula, specially tailored for succulents. Because they import new cultivars, i sometimes buy from them and these succulents in moss cannot be grown outdoors, in our climate as the moss stays incredibly soggy when it rains. To grow ok, they need a greenhouse and i always rip as much of the moss off as i can. I'm also aware of the succulent art using moss and while it's great, eventually those succulents will need some nutrition/repotting otherwise they can start losing leaves, and are likely to grow slow. My nursery produces somewhere between 200-400k succulents every year. To date, i've grown over 2 million succulents. I strictly use succulent potting mix with fertilizer (i have tried other potting media and succulent mix works best for us). We grow around 300 different cultivars and it works for all of them. I'm an outdoor production nursery and most of our succulents are grown outdoors year round even if it rains a lot. They do well, look great and we don't have to amend the potting mix. Having said all of this, my way is not the only correct way. Many people have different methods of growing that work well. I'm just sharing mine :)

    You can grow ANY succulents indoors so long as you have the correct temperature and grow lights. I’ve got almost 500 and counting and I only had random die offs of succulents when I first began growing them around 9 years ago. Anyone is capable and able to grow whichever plants you’d like indoors. Make sure to always do a lot of research on the plant and from the plant sources that you read from, gather what its favorite conditions are and just be sure to help them acquire that! Happy planting 💚

    @@BrandisBotanicals You are absolutely correct, any succulent/ any plant can be grown indoors if you have appropriate growlights. I think the issue is that, realistically, the majority of people are not willing to muck around with growlights and then run them for 12h/ day. Sun loving succulents also prefer a specific growlight, not just the generic stuff you can buy off ebay. It can get pretty expensive fast if you have multiple plants. Imo, it's just better to get succulents/ plants that can tolerate the lower levels of light and I still stand by what i said in the video- sun loving succulents are not a good choice for indoors, in most instances..

    The so-called experts online should make up their mind. They keep saying a fast well-draining potting mixture for cacti and succulents should have hummus or lava rock or coarse gravel mixed with the potting mix. Then they say bright sunlight is what they need so they do not become leggy. I've tried everything with echeveria and I always fail.

I do grow succulents for a living and have grown millions of succulents (many of them Echeveria) since i started my nursery. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoGT0defmNquj7A.html Unfortunately, i cannot control what others put out on the internet and am unsure how we can all make up our minds. If your Echeveria are growing leggy i would hazard a guess you have them indoors? If so, they are not great indoor plants and tend to struggle even if they have lots of bright light. They can overwinter indoors, but over longer periods are likely to eventually die. I hope this helps

I brought them inside and under lights in the fall and they surprised me again by continuing to grow. I heat with would and the humidity is quite low. They get twelve hours of grow light everyday. What kind of precautions should I take reintroducing them to the outside in May / June? I live in the extreme North of US.

    I love that you rescued them and they're thanking you by flourishing 🥰 To be on the safe side, it may be best to start with morning sun-afternoon shade and then gradually increase the sun exposure by a couple of hours every 3 or so days. Alternatively, you can get 30% shadecloth that will bounce off harmful UV and you can just plonk them underneath. It also very much depends on how hot your summer is- if you rarely get over 30C/ 86F you don't need to worry too much as it is unlikely the sun will be strong enough to do damage. Hope this helps :)

  • @SucculentGrowingTips

    @SucculentGrowingTips

    4 ай бұрын

    Not crazy at all 🙂 Say you completely drenched a plastic pot on a warm, sunny day- a good potting mix should retain water for about 3-4 hrs, so the plant can actually have a drink, and then start drying while still retaining a bit of moisture (dark colour) for a couple of days. So bone dry on day 2-3. Ideally, what you don't want is the potting mix staying really soggy for more than a day or two. Having said that, most succulents should still tolerate that. I'll see if i can do a video on this as well- there's just too many variables to answer this properly 😅

But a couple of days of rain or isolated storms should not be enough to cause any damage. Hope this helps 🙂

    Lots of succulents grow easy inside, most varieties of Crassula and Portulacaria, they like it as most houses are dry and warm.

    Yes, lots but definitely not the most. Portulacaria only has like 7 species (+plus som variegated cultivars). But even the others such as Haworthia, Gasteria, Rhipsalis , Crassula etc. that will tolerate it indoors are in the minority. I still stand by what i said in the video- unless you have a decent size, super bright window, most succulents will struggle indoors.

    I'm using a wide bonsai pot for succulent, I think they would have better drainage because they are wide and shallow. Am I correct?

    Drainage-wise, bonsai pots are definitely a good choice. You may want to have a look at the video below where i discuss deep vs shallow pots for succulents. You are likely to get a different type of growth in bonsai pots, which is fine- your succulents will be beautiful and compact but may not produce a lot of growth once they settle into the pot. kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXqelbyqaam9ddo.htmlsi=3SpTlslLuSCEXJJe

    It should be fine- they tend to settle in after a couple of weeks though, if they are moving about too much, some types can snap when the top is heavy. If they look like they're leaning quite a bit, you can help them stay in place by staking them 🙂 Hope this helps

    Imo, it's best to buy a succulent potting mix as it will be especially formulated for succulents. You can also buy seed raising mix or indoor plant mix and add a bit of perlite/pumice (about 10%) to make it drain better. Hope this helps :)

    Not necessarily- it gets too hot and dry in our climate for unsealed terracotta. They’d dry out way too fast in summer- i’d waste lots of water. Also it would be impractical as it’s bit hard getting 10’s of thousands of 5 different size terracotta pots and there’s no such things as terracotta plug trays. Terracotta don’t work in nursery production, i’m afraid. Hope that answers your question

  • @SucculentGrowingTips

    @SucculentGrowingTips

    Ай бұрын

    Yes, i do too- not quite 30 years but over 12. But Crassula is a very limited example. Not all succulent cultivars will grow well in the same pot for that long, especially if it's a smaller pot like 10x10cm. At the best, they will stop growing and lose many of their leaves. Much will also depend on your climate and weather. Here i can have succulents out all year round and they grow rapidly. Whereas, in cooler countries, where they need to overwinter indoors, the growing season is much shorter and, therefore, they will not grow as fast. Again, i still stand by what i said- most will benefit from repotting regularly.

    So, first of, that's not what i said. I said some succulents can be less hardy than others, and Senecio string of succulents are temperamental. I've literally grown tens of thousands of these. I've also been selling to the public for a decade and get to talk to hundreds of people every year that grow succulents. Many have trouble growing string of succulents. Not everyone, but a lot. It's worth mentioning. Second, just because the 🤡 emoji is there doesn't mean you have to use it whenever you think you're right. I get you were trying to insult me but you just come across as rude. Maybe try elaborate your point next time and have a meaningful conversation rather than send childish emojis. Hope this helps 👍
