The succulents I use in this video,
are from a recent Plant Haul,
from Nora Garden 89 on Facebook.
Let's find out which succulent is best suited
to what pot or planter,
and why.
Hello there. My name is Liz.
A self-confessed succulent addict.
Welcome to my Channel, Growing succulents.
[Music]
Before I pot this up,
I just noticed. See the roots?
It's quite dry.
And she's nice and perky.
I can slap her around and she's still good.
But what I want to do,
is put her in this little cute pot here.
I'm gonna squeeze
some nice juice into that.
Seaweed solution.
And dunk her.
ahhh! it went inside.
It doesn't matter.
so okay.
I'm just gonna go get a soil.
Now, for my drowning.
It's drowning Prima dDonna.
I'm using this really, really,
really bright fruity pot.
You know why?
That way, I don't miss it.
I'll see it straight away,
because it's so bright
that when I say...
where's my prima donna?
then I can see it.
because if I don't have a really brightly colored pot,
it's just gonna disappear in my garden.
But anyway,
I also put some little feet to raise it up,
so air can circulate underneath...
Going through the hole.
The hole can be a bit bigger,
but it doesn't matter if it's a little bit smaller.
This is 16 millimeters anyway.
So look.
Yeah. So, my thumb.
About a fraction smaller than my thumb nail.
But, Prima Donna needs a little bit more soil.
And that's the reason why.
Also the roots, will grow long roots.
So that is why, it's so important.
It's just going to disappear on this one but,
it doesn't matter.
We're going to give it time to grow.
She's got lots of room to grow that way.
She's... especially now, coming on to winter.
So, she'll have a lot of insulation as well for the cold.
Because they are not,
or Prima Donna it's not really all that frost hardy.
So I might even bring her inside.
Depending on how cold it gets this winter.
I'll take this liquid out of here.
Remove the tissue or toilet paper.
I've got my soil.
Now... so now we're just gonna...
Put a little hole in the middle by swirling around.
I'm swirling around.
Right to the bottom.
And I'm slowly, slowly...
There you go.
All done.
Root level and all...
And... There you go.
She's in.
Now... See how it's flippy floppy?
We stabilize it by putting some of this.
Granite top dressing to settle it down.
There you go.
Doesn't she look pretty in that one.
Even though, look at that.
Because it's sort of muted. The color.
Until this grows up.
Of course, I use this pot because, that way I don't forget.
Because it's just in your face.
It's so bright.
But I think, it goes nicely with the Prima Donna,
who is still not a big prima donna at the moment.
It's just a tiny little prima donna.
Then... By the time she grows up,
she's gonna say to the pot...
You're not pretty enough anymore,
because I'm the pretty one.
And then the pot will say,
No! I'm the pretty one.
And the plant will say...
No! I'm the pretty one.
By the way my name is prima donna.
There you go.
They look absolutely beautiful.
Especially this one from Heleina.
Look at that.
Gorgeous.
So, I put her floridity
and also this agavoides crested one in here.
Because, I want them to grow on their own.
I want to see how much babies they produce.
This rock here, is like...
Saint Mount Helen-na...
This is a concretion,
that I pick up from one of my prospecting trips.
This is actually going to make a nice little pot,
for any babies that's going to come out
of these plants here that's in this pot.
Any babies that I can Harvest from this one;
say for example,
I could put it in there later on.
So that's an option that I'd like to take.
That's why,
I put that beautiful little Arrangement.
look at that.
It's not really an arrangement,
but it just sort of sets this two plants here.
which is very contrast in color.
One is going to be all red soon.
Once this is experienced our winter cold.
But the one on the right,
that is going to grow into a beautiful big cluster.
that's going to fill up this beautiful Bowl.
It's just as plain and simple.
Why am I having that accent?
I don't know.
Isn't that just gorgeous.
Isn't that beautiful. okay.
Now let's move on to the next ones here...
Since I am putting you out...
Not your misery.
But I'm gonna be miserable If this falls off.
I need to take this one.
So we can see.
What we're up against.
This is the variegated Margaret Reppin.
It's a reppin kind of a...
I put the... I found this in the garden.
This has been picked up by the bird from somewhere else,
and dropping my garden.
So, I found it.
Then I thought, there you go.
you can go there.
so that the birds can come and pick you again in the future.
no it won't.
I'll put this somewhere in my 50 UV shade cloth area,
where they can't get to.
By the way, the reason why I use this pot...
So that, it will have room to grow.
So any babies that I can get from that,
or harvest from that,
I can stick it in here.
With the still space there.
Also at the front here.
The Vincent Catto has got his own little cute little pot,
which has got room to grow.
The Red Lily is just in a little pot.
Both of these I have to let them grow up a little bit bigger,
and maybe in about five months time,
I might need to repot them again.
and put them into a bigger pot.
and also this red something.
I forgot now.
Veil and you just got something to do with the wedding.
That oh, that oh...
Which reminds me,
my wedding ring.
The wedding ring is over here.
Where it's next to this Pachyphytum...
Tough.
that I didn't show you earlier.
but uh...
This is one of the parts of the plant all as well.
And also this one...
oh my goodness.
A lot of names to memorize.
Bing Xin.
Princess Bing Xin.
So, the three of them I put them in the pot.
Because they sort of look similar.
But ye,t still different enough.
yes I got more plants hiding there for a different plant haul.
So...a true succulent addict.
Now this one...
This I have to blame everything here now with this plant.
This is called red tip silk variegated.
So, there's a lady called Nikki Oanh Duong.
If I'm saying your name wrong, I'm so sorry.
I'll just call you or refer to her like what everyone refers to her to.
The queen of Head chop.
She has a plant.
Which is a different plant.
Variegated one, that looks similar to this.
With all this white variegation.
When I saw it that day,
the next day,
when I had a look at Norah's sale...
There's this similar looking plant.
So, but it's a different plant.
But I thought,
This is just my Clayton way or the cheap way.
Of getting that other expensive plant that I love so much.
But anyway,
the next ones here.
It's just beautiful. okay.
By the way, yeah. Put it in this pretty pretty little pot.
There you go.
Now Calisto.
Callisto is only sort of in a small pot.
Un-eventful and it's the same as with the Red Lily.
It will grow into it and once it does get bigger,
That one, I feel is going to take a while before it fills up the pot.
So maybe this one might grow faster,
compared to those other two.
But anyway, these are all the rest of the Gang.
And you can see that they're all planted in different pots.
And also, my Tango.
Is already got his own little unassuming pot.
I would say.
And that beautiful snow Peach.
Or peach snow or whatever a peachy ice.
Whatever your name is.
Frost.
There you go.
Close enough.
I got this beautiful pot.
Very, very, oh okay.
So, it's sort of befitting because the bottom is wide.
And it's got a little neck.
But it doesn't matter.
iIf it had been a straight no neck pot,
it would still good.
Except I need the height.
Because this is sort of a tall plant.
It is going to... that is not leggy.
Just stemmy.
So, if you want this to be compact,
well I'm gonna chop off the head,
and put it down close or plant it down close to the ground.
But I don't want that.
I want it to grow free.
Like how it's supposed to.
Because not all succulents supposed to grow one way.
They all have different ways.
different shape and form.
And, people tend to think that they're all just flat face on the ground like this ones here,
or that one there.
Some of them do grow in clusters.
Some are of course solitary,
like these ones here.
Or that one there.
And some like growing double head.
But it's not a problem because,
this Lovely Q,
you can just split that up and grow have two plants.
And also the beautiful Sedum Atlantis has found this beautiful recycled pot.
It used to have a Lonely Planet no name gift one from Norah as well before.
But that now I've retired that.
And planted that into...
Because it was getting lonely.
So I put it in the big pot with the other plants,
just to grow for propagation.
And of course the variegated Aeonium.
I think this is Aeonium isn't it?
I forgot now. oh Mountain Rose.
Variegated.
that I thought was free.
it was actually,
I paid for one plant.
the bigger one.
and she gave me a free one.
So instead of just having one,
I've got two plants now.
And that free Zaragosa cross something, something.
I forgot your name.
too long.
The witch.
Pink witch Zaragosa that one.
that's the freebie that she gave me.
Now it can have its own.
So those two,
are the freebie.
So one two, and a half.
And so, that's it ladies and gentlemen.
I hope you enjoyed this video,
as much I enjoy sharing it with you.
Thank you so much everyone for watching.
And I'll see you on the next video.
Bye, bye for now...
Now I have to bring them all outside.
And it's raining outside right now.
And it's raining for the next following week.
