This one is a prolific grower. This is Echeveria acacia ponds.
But I haven't had any babies yet.
So now I might have to break off.
I'm just waiting for them to grow a little bit longer. So you can see the stem extending out.
So I will get some babies from here.
But I thought it's just a pity to break it off.
I'm trying to grow it so that it forms a big bouquet.
And that little corner there is still empty. So i need that to fill up.
Hello there my name is Liz.
A self-confessed succulent addict.
Welcome to my channel, Growing Succulents with LizK.
This is a big bouquet of Acacia Ponds with I reckon hundreds
of pups through them. So I got one, two, three, four, five, six clusters.
On the side and then the center is just oh look at that. All those babies it's like hundreds of them.
But anyway I need to separate them. And this one is a very very hardy Echeveria or Echeverria,
or Echeveria acacia ponds; and it has been grown or have been growing it outside in the front yard.
And it has seen nearly -10 winters. So degrees Celsius. So it's a very very hardy plant and I've
had it growing at the front. yeah. And then I moved it into the back here where all the spot here. That
was like four pots I put in there. Now I remove them because the Gladiola has starting to
pop out. So I have to make way for them. Give them room and I'm redoing my garden anyway. So anyway,
Now I'm gonna hack into this and separate them.
But I just have to wait for that little Bee to finish.
And what I'm going to do is first of all, I am going to remove all the flowers.
That is terrible.
Because they'll just make a mess. So remove all the flowers. Just break them off. That's fine.
And so now I'm gonna have a look see that one is just loose. See if I could
twist it and pull out.
Hang on, I'll just see.
I'm gonna feel it underneath.
If I can grab hold of...
I'm gonna have to kill one pup or something. But anyway.
I'm gonna pull see if I can pull it.
oops. No I can't so...
We're gonna have to cut.
I got my secateurs.
And I'm gonna go under just a stem.
There you go done.
Okay. So that's one down. Look at that. It's already like trying to root up.
See the roots there sticking out?
So normally, what I do is clean that up.
And I could...
Remove individual pups like this.
Put it in my container here.
And those two...
So that will grow into a new plant or one plant.
And put that there.
So this is the best way to propagate this.
Is just... Instead of growing the
leaves which takes quite a long time...
It's much better to, for me anyway.
Just harvest the pups.
Now that one that looks so gorgeous in it like the one, two, three, four, five, six.
Look at that!
In just on the side. Just so gorgeous. But anyway we're gonna have to remove it. But what i'm gonna do is
i'm just gonna leave the one plant and i'm gonna take off in between. So i'll take that one off.
okay now the leaves i could save to grow another baby but,
it's just too tedious so i'm just gonna chuck it in the bin. I much rather with the grown plant.
So again that one there i'll save that one. So every second one whoopsie shake shake okay.
Now you go up pull it out. One, two, three and take that one off. There you go. So now you got three.
I'm gonna plant that. That will straighten out and then that would be another plant. So a couple more
cleaning up and then she's ready to be potted. Not quite. I still have to leave this for a while
and let them dry up first. But anyway, see look at that. Oh it is just
unreal. Look at that. So many babies. okay. I'm gonna pull some out like that one
from under; and I'm gonna have to and there's more babies underneath. Look at that. It's just crazy.
That's just crazy. Look at that. Can you see it?
So i'm gonna have to pull that out as well come on. oopsie
Hit the camera. Doesn't matter. So another baby. So this is the flower stem which is unsightly and i
don't like looking at it. So what i like to do is get my little surgical forceps and just twist it.
And there you go. So now that looks much better and this one I've got one
two and three. So you can see that so three pups. I'm going to leave it like that and then that
other one has got one two three. But on the side, I've now finished hacking into this Acacia Pond.
And so this is what I've got. Look how much there is. So those ones I still left them
as big clusters with a couple of pups. See one, two, three, four, five so that would still look
nice if i put that in a big pot. Arrange it and once it grows it will thicken up. Again
that would actually look lovely. So there's quite a few of them that are like that. So I got one
and six. So I got six big ones with different configurations and so now I'm just curious as
to how much of the small ones i've got there. So I'm just going to count it for curiosity's sake
because i've had this plant for two years now; and I only started with one plant from one plant I got
eight the first year. And I separated them and I put them all over the place or well in the pot.
But then it formed into clusters. And so now I'm gonna count how many of these small ones I've got.
So one, two, three, four, four, six, seven, to eight. 80 babies. But this one's 13 of them. I'm just gonna
leave that there and i'm gonna refresh the pot and plant some of the small ones back in there.
