Thank-you😊😊 I just got the cutest baby succulent (well a little bit older than a baby) like a wk. ago & is my 1st succulent. And it is planted in wood chips - do do you check wood chips the same way you check soil for dryness?

Thank you so much for going into detail about how leaves look when they need water or when to leave them alone! Personally, I lean towards overwatering, so I really appreciate this info.

One of the best video’s I have seen, explains it without complicating it. One of my plants, they call the Euphorbia flanaganii f. cristata " Green Coral‘, it was one that makes watering very difficult. As it’s so finicky on watering, any suggestions?
@Mountaincrestgardens
Ай бұрын
So nice of you, thanks! And for Euphorbia, are you using a super gritty, rapidly draining soil? That way you can really deeply drench it without overwatering it. Good sun exposure is also key for them to grow and use water and dry their soil. We're talking Bonsai Jack levels of soil grit: mountaincrestgardens.com/soil-for-succulents/

I purchased lithops on Etsy so I’m not sure what I’m doing and that’s why I subscribed. Mine were mailed without soil or a pot so they are laying in a very small pot without anything. The people I bought them from said to put them in soil and not water for a week but I don’t have soil. I live in Colorado and I have a Home Depot a block from where I live. Will any cactus soil do? Or if you can give me a name of a good cactus soil so I can plant them right away. If I buy your soil it could take a while to get it. Anything you can help me with would be appreciate. ❤ Debbie

Yes! Garden centers will carry bagged succulent/cactus soil mixes. Unfortunately, every "succulent" soil we've ever seen from a big box store has too much organic matter (as opposed to mineral grit) and is not well-draining enough for indoor succulents, especially not cacti. To use these mixes, you'll need to add an equal volume of mineral grit, such as pumice, perlite, or coarse sand (also often available at garden centers!). For more info, our video on Soil for Succulents has tons more detail: kzitem.info/news/bejne/xoOtq6Wlq6Gra4I

Thank you! Great video. The ones I struggle with the most are the Lithops. I love the split rock, it’s so beautiful, but I can never keep it alive. It goes mushy even when I didn’t water it. 😢

I guess that I tend to let my succulents dry out. They're all planted in either terracotta pots or Snappy Pots. I use Bonsai Jacks soil. I have them under a growlight. I'm having problems with my Jade plants. I think that they're in pots that are too big. I bought some shallow terracotta pots from Amazon. I've heard that succulents have shallow root structures and they don't need deep pots because their roots don't reach the bottom of the pot to get the water.

My newly potted succulents accidentally got left in the rain the week I purchased them. Will they be okay or do I need to intervene in some way? They are all in terracotta pots. Most small.
@Mountaincrestgardens

Hopefully they're in pots with drainage holes? If so, putting them in a sunny spot with good airflow is often enough to get them to dry out. You can even put a fan on them to speed drying. If they're not drying or are showing signs of rot, unpot them and let them dry out with their roots exposed.

Love succulents, but have no very high light windows. What intensity Gro lights are best to use in this circumstance? I have adopted nearly dead succulents and brought all back to robust health. Getting ready for Fall and Winter with low sunshine thru my single East facing window( South is blocked by conifers, and West side of the house has all the cat climbing towers). Gro lights are a must for the one room off limits to cats and dogs.

Glad you're thinking ahead! The short answer is a full spectrum light that provides 300-800 lumens per square foot. Keep your plants within 12" of it and keep it on 12-14 hours per day. The long answer can be found in this blog, along with specific product recommendations: mountaincrestgardens.com/blog/succulent-grow-light-recommendations/

Is watering from the botttom okay or is the a no no?
@Mountaincrestgardens

Totally okay and plenty of succulent growers prefer it! Same rules apply: only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant is showing signs of thirst. And bottom water long enough to fully saturate the soil.
