I have been a gardener for many decades and am a longtime member of Carmichael Cactus & Succulent Society. Ideal temperatures for this type of cactus are between 50degF & 90degF. Euphorbia lactea Cristata has the advantage of not being too demanding about substrates or pH. Let us answer some of the most commonly asked questions about succulent pots. While the video's content is good, I have just noticed that it has not been updated with questions or comments. Site visitors are welcome to leave comments. YouTube doesn't allow you to fix a video without deleting the original. This will result in deleting comments and viewing count. That is a huge no-no. YouTube is a form of social media, which means it's interactive. Another possibility is that "Kalanchoe Luciae", the name of the site, derives its name from the ancient Indian words Kalanka and Chaya, which mean "spot" or "glossy," in Indian. Pat used green, orange, and red colors for the nandina pods.

The rosettes of chicks as well as hens are beautiful in red, green, or blue colors. Many succulent species, such as hens and chicks and aloe and certain haworthias and cacti, have rosettes. There are many colors to choose from, including blue, green, and grey cacti. Some cacti varieties also thrive in Central America and other nearby Islands like the Galapagos or Caribbean. I cannot wait for this book to arrive. This is the book that I'm going to include in my Christmas gift giving. I will show you how to pair plant-pots in my Zone 9b garden. In this video, I explain how to mix succulents in a blue-pot. Before I knew it I was looking for "before" photos that would show you how things have changed and improved over time. The first thing I wanted was a bench for potting. You should be careful when purchasing your first String of Pearls succulent. They can die from overwatering, which could be a problem that you unknowingly inherit.

Make sure to settle on a medium that drains first enough. You can do French drains or use other methods to drain the soil before transplanting if it doesn't drain naturally. A standard potting mix is composed of potting dirt and additional drainage material. Hot glue makes these compositions simple to assemble. And because the squash is intact (and succulents survive on moisture in leaves), they'll last for several months. The six-month process of reorganizing the squash took six months. You don't have to water them every day, they can survive up to two months on their own. One way to use these plants is to plant them around or next to your succulents to deter cats away from them. The plants had grown to large and needed to be removed and re-potted elsewhere. Although you might be aware of the things that need attention, you will also be delighted by the beauty that is new.

Tell me about what you need. Get your aloe vera plant to bloom correctly if you want it to grow in a garden. You will want all your succulents to be the same color so make sure you fertilize them. If you don't have much sunlight, consider holding off on using fertilizer. Senecio Radicans requires no fertilizer. If you prefer, you can purchase an organic liquid fertilizer designed for indoor plants. We will apply it once a months during spring. Although cuttings can be slightly damper than those of mature plants, it is okay to keep them from getting too wet. Although it can be difficult to find, this plant is great for both beginners and experts. The purple hues are best seen when it is exposed to the sun. The plant can live in light to full sun. To find the perfect spot, you will probably have to move it around a few times. The new Succulent Care Basics pages will help you locate what you need immediately. You can find helpful tools like moisture meters on my resource page to help you determine when to water your succulents.

Above: From our Home Page. On the Home page, Agave guiengola appears to like being petted. This succulent appears to have similar features to a cactus, as it has small prickles on its stems. This is not something you have to do all the time. The soil shouldn't hold too much water. Because they will be in direct touch with the soil, make sure to water them often. They will need more water at this point in their growth, unlike during winter and summer. These leaves have transparent stripes on the leaves and blooms that are cream or yellow in color. It is an excellent accent to rock and outdoor container gardens, as it is extremely hardy. My books publisher had ordered a video for the release of Succulent Garden Container Gardens in 2010. But my books are still the best source for choosing, growing, and using succulents. Books are rich in detail. These books are very detailed. You can hold them in one's hands, highlight text, make annotations, place Post-its on pages, flag them with Post-its and curl up to flip through. Many succulents can survive outside just as well as indoors. She also mentions "Make a Succulent-Topped Pumpkin," the YouTube how-to that Laura and I made back in 2013, when topping pumpkins with succulents was new.

Seven years ago I discovered that Laura Eubanks (San Diego succulent designer) was very good at explaining her methods. For better chances of your propagation's success, make sure to use proper heat and circulate the air. There are some great things, but there is also conflicting information, intrusive ads and obvious errors. I find all that irritating and frustrating, and I assume you do too. To find anything you had to "Search." There's much to be proud off, but there's also a lot I wish I had done differently. When you live in an area that doesn't receive plenty of sunlight, you can supplement the little amount of natural sunlight that your succulents receive with artificial grow lights. A grow light can be used to supplement the light requirements of your plants, particularly if it is not exposed to a lot or in winter. The plant does well in indirect sunlight, even though it is tropically adapted.
