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 😂

River sand tends to hold on to moisture and not good for Lithops. Scoria, basalt or granite or any porous rocks is best.

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 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.

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 ?
@GrowingSucculentswithLizK 2 жыл бұрын
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 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j9-omMpnp867ZYU.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.

@GrowingSucculentswithLizK 3 жыл бұрын
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.
