Hi Ashley, I'm starting to learn about succulents, and I want you to know that I really appreciate your videos. They have been such a valuable tool for me, and they are always enjoyable to watch. I'm wondering if you'd consider doing a video in the future where you show the process, over several days, of what you call "babying" your plants that are struggling. I've heard you use the term in a bunch of videos, and I always think, "hmm, I wonder what exactly is involved in 'babying' a sad plant." I'm guessing maybe extra water is part of it, but I'm very curious about the details of how you go about nursing your plants back to optimal health. Anyway, thanks again for all that you do to make these videos, and have a beautiful weekend!
Christina Eilers, yes ma’am! The dunce caps grow naturally in the cold mountains of China! 🤗 Generally they will tolerate a USDA zone 5, and sometimes down to 4. ❤️
Love your channel and I have gotten so much from the Lithops videos. Especially that the "rules" need to be adjusted depending on the situation. Now that I have some lithops of my own I am watching those videos a second time. :) A couple of questions (based on your experience of course): - Assuming that the lithops is in the correct growth stage for its species for the fall and it is old enough that it should bloom but does not, are there any other visible signs to go by as to when water should start being withheld for the winter? - In the case of seedlings that are about a year old right now with inch long or so tap roots that are functioning, should they be growing the new leaves over the winter and shedding in the spring so water should be withheld for the winter? Or should they be getting water over the winter as they look wrinkled? I imagine that these questions may very well fall into guessing/intuition territory, but whatever thoughts you may have would be very welcome. -- Susan
