I went to the store looking for pumice and the guy i asked didn't know what it was and asked me if i was looking for hummus. We were in the garden section. So yeah. Don't know anyone who would look for hummus in the garden area but okay. Lolz, But i left with 4 succulents so Was it Awkward: Yes Was it Worth it: Yes And did i leave with a craving for hummus: Also Yes

@SucsForYou 5 лет назад

🤣Hilarious! BUT .... there's a type of dirt called humus (pronunced h-yoo-mus) - still not what you want for sucs ;)

thanks for the pumice website, I ordered the variety pack to play with the different ways to place them with my new buddies , really like your channel 🌵

@SucsForYou 7 лет назад

It's good stuff! I prefer the 3/16" fines for 'all-purpose' use - but I've had the smaller and bigger fines and enjoy the variety! Looks aside, I seriously think many of my plants' lives depend on it because of the climate in Houston.

@SucsForYou 7 лет назад

Thank you! I really depend on the pumice. It looks good and really helps control moisture. If you can't find pumice locally (like I can't :/), I linked to it here, along w/ my recipe for this delicious potting mix ;) sucsforyou.com/supplies/

@toriwill5967 6 лет назад

You are SO FUNNY on your requests for being paid in pumice!! 😆😆 I have two boys also! My older one loves looking at my succulents and helping me with them! So whenever you make an arrangement I guess it doesn’t matter what varieties of succulents you use? For example one that requires less water than others. It’s OK to combine those together? Then how do you water this arrangement after you’ve placed it together?

@marieandruby 6 лет назад

Just bought my first two succulents so am really enjoying your videos and am learning a lot. When did you water the arrangement after potting it up? Did you wet the potting mix first?

@jedidiahvette3924 7 лет назад

great video, I got a few plants for my birthday a couple months ago and have been wanting to put them together in a new pot a you have given me some ideas on what to do with them.

Oh, it turned out so pretty, Love the pot too. I haven't been able to find any of the Donkey's tail in my area.

@SucsForYou 5 лет назад

Can you mix potting soil with something to create succulent soil?

@Yourname3000 5 лет назад

Anyone know if they will out grow the pot? Nicely done, thanks for sharing.

@SucsForYou 5 лет назад

Hi, I know this is an old video, but what about the maintenance of these kinds of arrangements? How to make sure they get enough sun. I keep killing so many of my plants either from over/underwatering or sunburn. 😢

@SucsForYou 5 лет назад

Here's a video on light that may help you :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ucB31pMa5ek.html

@julieragle1695 7 лет назад

Hey girl! Love the videos! So do you mix the pumice in the soil or just on top?

@SucsForYou 7 лет назад

Hey thank you!! and TLDR: Both! Rather than mix it into my main bin of dirt (which is just top soil and equal parts or more perlite for the base), I put a scoop of pumice in the smaller box I'm working with. Then I add extra around the roots and finish with a top dressing. It sounds like a lot of pumice but doing it this way lets me make sure it's distributed where it's needed most with less waste of precious pumice :)

@adi8a 4 года назад

Do you need pumice if you live in dry heat? California

@SucsForYou 4 года назад

Nah not really ;) Drainage materials will help keep the soil aerated but you don't have to worry about the soil staying wet for too long.

@ursaholdridge8954 2 года назад

Thank you for this. People always just say "soil" or "dirt" like b*tch! Tell me whats in it!!! Whats the ratio?!!! ty ty ty

@yangyangyu6680 7 лет назад

What size pumice do you recommend?

@SucsForYou 7 лет назад

I like the 3/16" fines from General Pumice - it's a medium size and good for adding to soil and using as a top dressing. I've used smaller and bigger- small is great for mixing into dirt, big is great for cacti, but the medium size is just right for both ;)

@sofiabanda1698 5 лет назад

why do you use top soil versus potting soil for your blend?

@SucsForYou 5 лет назад

Potting soil tends to have fertilizer included and succulents need a low cal diet compared to flowers etc ;)

@sofiabanda1698 5 лет назад

@@SucsForYou I use landskeeper pride plain potting soil . it doesn't have anything in it . Is that ok?

@SucsForYou 5 лет назад

@Muzikal_Kween 7 лет назад

pumice? could I break a bunch of dollar tree foot brushes?

@SucsForYou 7 лет назад

HA!! I'm sure you're not the only one to have thought about this... but alas nope, it's different and I don't think it will be any cheaper than buying the real thing :D However, if you order a bag of pumice, you can use that for your feet, so add multipurpose product to reasons to buy some? Just go for it- you'll be very glad you did-- you deserve it and so do your plants.
