I'm not interested in Lithops for myself but I like looking at them.. Great video thanks Liz I think it is always good to give alternatives like you have here for people who are unable to get certain things.. Awesome.. Much love to you and your family :)
Would like to grow some lithops but I need to learn more about them. I've grown other plants mostly carnivorous plants to mangrove trees to more mundane succulents but lithops are much more challenging to me.
omg ..thank you ..now I understand ..because I notice my succulent soil had too much bark and I accepted but I didn't like it. I will be removing most of the bark looks more refine and manageable Thank you 🌵🌿🌏
I watered them straightaway. Here's a Lithops arrangement video that I did. Thanks for watching.🥰 King of the Jungle LITHOPS SUCCULENT ARRANGEMENT - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ERsazp08MNc.html
Hardly any maintenance Rosa. Just have to wait for the flowers and enjoy. I also like giving them a pat on the head everyday and they don't complain at all...
i think i like them lol. idk the skin kinda freaks me out a little haha. im so bored liz, not being able to buy anything right now cuz its too cold, we got 18 inches of snow last night and im afraid to order any plants by mail. the last thing i got, aeonium lilypad got ROASTED by the heat pack. so idk what i can do. maybe semps. im assuming its too cold for lithops right? theyre just so cute.
You can keep it inside until Spring. My lithops have experienced minus 11°C/ 12.2°F in my 50% shade cloth zone. Next year, I'm exposing some on the front line full Monty and all. Some mature Sempervivum can be covered in snow and will grow or come back in spring.
@@GrowingSucculentswithLizK oh Liz, 😢 I've killed a couple of my sempervivums! I kind of forgot about them tucked away in the back corner of my grow light shelf and then I drowned them 😢 the ones that hung in there are standing straight up on their bottom leaves 🤣 the poor things are troopers, they're holding on! I stuck those ones directly under the grow light so hopefully they'll come out of it
Yes it will for certain family of succulents. Echeveria, cacti, Euphorbia as an example will take this soil but not for your Aeonium, senecio, Crassula, etc as they prefer a bit more moisture.
I have a question, how do you know the watering cycle if they’re being kept indoors? I have low light in my house so they will be supplemented by an LED grow light. Also when they arrive next week they will be bare root.. should I water them after I’ve planted them ?
Indoors or outdoor, you water when the soil is dry or if the pot is light. Cuttings should be first rooted before watering. No roots, no water. The video below might help. Cheers Succulent Cuttings - How to GROW and PROPAGATE - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Yyxeg6BhW5Q.html
You cannot water them when they change and make new plant and/or babies. Other than that just put them in pure rocky substrate and bottom soak when they look squishy and sad.
Hi liz, I'm a prospector too! We have a heap of river rocks and sand from panning, can that be used? Or does it need to be more clean or refined? Its basically straight from the river bed, through a classifier then into a waste bucket 😂
Since I keep them in the open, I never have to water them. They're only dependent on the rain and we've been getting a lot of rain lately and they're still doing great. In past years when we had drought, I water them heavily once a year or if when I see the leaves shrivel up.
@@johnrenelle1591 No little drop. That's the best way to kill them. Water heavily if they start to shrivel up. Pag kuluntoy na ang tanim, malalaman mo na kailangan nila ng tubig. Kung mag-tutubig ka, dapat desidido ka at huwag patak patak lang at mamatay yan sila. Less often but more. The soil mix is the secret. Good luck.
