In this video, I propagate my Lewisia Cotyledon, which is also known as Siskiyou lewisia, cliff maids, Howell's lewisia and Heckner's lewisia. In addition, I decided to prune my lewisia by cutting off its old stems and removing old leaves. I hope you enjoy the video ;)

Thanks! Just the info I was looking for! Off outside to look for hidden baby plants.....😃

@GardeningwithTill 3 года назад

Ohh, exciting! Hope you’ll find some babies hidden under the leaves somewhere ;)

Again enjoy watching the way you propagating and pruning your beautiful plant .

@GardeningwithTill 2 года назад

Thank you, Maya. It really is a beautiful plant and it’s quite fun to propagate it :)

Thank you for this video! I bought a lewisia recently from my local florist and I have been looking up how to take care of it - I didn't know it would grow babies, and I'm very glad to know I can prune the dead stalks. Thank you" ♥

I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful. Fingers crossed that your lewisia will do well :)

Thank you very much for this video. It helps me. I love this plants and did not know about baby's. Greeting from the netherlands.

@GardeningwithTill Год назад

They are great plants and require little care and water in my opinion.

@Hannahbananarocks10 4 года назад

Indeed quite a show! 😍

@GardeningwithTill 4 года назад

It's such a great plant and apparently native to Oregon and California :)

@JMAM006 5 месяцев назад

I was told, no experience with them yet, that they are good rock garden plants - the crown does not like to be wet. They need good drainage - they need rocks around base to hold crown high above the moisture. I am going to pot them in a concrete container with the rocks for the patio.

@GardeningwithTill 5 месяцев назад

True, they need good drainage! A mix of rock and soil would be ideal.

@GardeningwithTill 3 года назад

@lisahall8883 Год назад

That is a stunning Lewisia. I’ve never seen them that big. You must have perfect conditions for it 😊

@GardeningwithTill Год назад

It is pretty large indeed. I never managed to grow another of my lewisias as large as this one. So maybe I was just lucky this once?

@lisahall8883 Год назад

Possibly 😊 it’s lovely though. I’ve now got four. Just lost a new plant due to root rot, but trying to propagate from one good leaf😊 got some babies on the others 😊

@MB-rh2kp 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this video, I love Lewisias, had one two years ago which I managed to kill. A few weeks ago went all out when I saw them at one of my local garden centres and bought 9 of them in different colour t now am hoping that these will survive seeing your informative video looks very easy to care for them and this time will keep back from watering too often. Thank you again.

@GardeningwithTill 3 года назад

Thank you for this lovely comment :) I wish you all the best of luck with your lewisias. I saw a variety of differently coloured lewisias in Iceland once. Such a beautiful sight 😍

@@GardeningwithTill Hello Till One question do you think clay pots are better then the plastic ones for Lewisias. They are beautiful its not easy to find them here in Malta

@GardeningwithTill 3 года назад

@@MB-rh2kp I had a lot of luck with clay pots, because it allows the roots to breath a bit more than within plastic pots

@cherylpenn4509 2 года назад

What a showstopper. Mine is sorry looking, but has a bloom LOL

@GardeningwithTill Год назад

Thank you :) maybe it just takes some time for more blooms to form. Have you tried fertilising your place occasionally? Maybe this helps?

@lesleysluyters2165 4 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing this procedure....my Lewisias are wonderful when they are in flower but after flowering they seem to ‘rise up’ and become very untidy.....are they in too much sun....they are on my alpine table which has sun most of the day. X x

@GardeningwithTill 4 года назад

Thank you for your comment :) The stem of my mother plant also rose quite a bit and I had to remove some of the older spent bottom leaves. I think that's totally normal, but the process may be accelerated by the full sun conditions on one of my balconies. They can tolerate quite a bit of sun, but too much harsh sunlight might do harm.

@lesleysluyters2165 4 года назад

Gardening with Till ....thank you ...I will move them over to the cooler side of the alpine table. Best wishes and keep safe and well x x

@lisahall8883 Год назад

Just tried this with mine. I had five babies from the mother plant, which was still fairly young. I’ll minimise watering and keep it in a shaded area.

@GardeningwithTill Год назад

And have you had any luck so far? It might take some more time for them root. Fingers crossed!

@lisahall8883 Год назад

Sadly no luck, but I learned they were quite young and the root wasn’t long enough. The mother has survived though and I have two new ones too 😊

@GardeningwithTill 3 года назад

I’m doing well, thank you for asking :) i hope you’re doing well, too. I know, lewisias are so gorgeous

@a.b.1184 4 года назад

Great video! so relaxing :) Mine lost like half of the bottom leafs due too much sun, the became yellow and super soft, I also forgot to water. But my question, can I put them in deeper soil, like to cover the bottome part that missing all the leafs? It looks like a palm tree right now hahaha!

@GardeningwithTill 4 года назад

A. B. Haha, yes you can definitely do that. I think I might plant my mother plant a bit deeper into the soil as well. I’m sure your Lewisia will bounce back in no time :)

@lencedespotoska2365 4 года назад

Hi Till, Thank You for your videos, they are very usefull and really helpfull. I want to ask , how often do you water lewisia, since I had two of them, one was overwatered when i bought her and I couldn`t save her.The other one is doing fine, but I`m confused when should I water her. Thank You in advance for your answer. :)

@GardeningwithTill 4 года назад

Hey Lence, I'm glad you enjoy the videos :) I really try to avoid watering my lewisia very often. I water the mother plant and the babies about once every week with just a little bit of water when it is warm. When it's colder outside, I only water it once every two weeks. I wait for the soil to be completely dry before I water the lewisias, because they tolerate dry soil much better than moist soil.

@cherylpenn4509 2 года назад

Would love to know what medium you use for this amazing beauty

@GardeningwithTill Год назад

I’m actually just using regular potting soil. I added a few stones to make the soil more porous.

@fata70 4 года назад

Hi, thanks for the video, I didn't understand much because I don't know English, but I can use the translator if you want to help me. my lewisia is rotten at the base. I cut it. Do I wait 1 day to plant it? which land do I use? Sand, peat or something else? Where do I place the cutting? sun or shade? How much water? Thank you

@GardeningwithTill 4 года назад

Hey, thanks for watching :) I would wait for a few days and then place the cutting in some well draining soil. Make sure that the soil is not too wet. Place it in part shade. Not too much direct sun ideally at the beginning. Don't water it immediately, but only later after some days, because it needs roots to absorb the water.

@ellengeorge7651 2 года назад

Thank you! I believe I have L.c. Howellii - narrow p, wavy edged leaves. What time of year would be best for clipping and planting the babies?

@GardeningwithTill 2 года назад

In my experience, it’s best to clip and plant the babies in (early) spring. By then a lot of babies will have formed. Autumn would also work though :)

@LizMcNamara47 3 года назад

I would suggest instead of buying cheap compost buy the stuff for alpines, a bit more expensive but well worth it, much better for drainage, and you can feed the plants instead. Good luck

@GardeningwithTill 3 года назад

Thank you so much for the suggestion! So far, I’ve had quite a bit of luck with normal potting soil. But probably a good idea if lewisias keep dying due to root rot :) worth checking it out

@majawow 3 года назад

Do you bring them inside during the winter time?

@GardeningwithTill 3 года назад

In my climates (both the UK and Germany) they are winter hardy, so didn’t have to take them inside :) so it depends how cold it's going to get in your area

Does anyone know how long eadh flower is supposed to bloom? Mine don't bloom long and then just look shrivelled up, I assumed that I maybe water them too much or not enough. I spray a bit of water onto the soil, not on the plant, every few days. But it's in the conservatory in a pot, in the full sun at the moment. Seems to like that, just not sure if I'm doing something wrong because it's never flowering long (but producing new shoots quite reliably!) many thanks!
