Thank you! This has come at just the right time. I have some tiny PVNs that have grown from leaf propogations & have small roots showing. I’ve been umming and aahing about whether or not to pot them up. I think I will place them under some grow lights for the moment because it’s the middle of winter here.

Hi, have you grown haworthias under grow lights? I’ve just moved all of mine indoors for the first time & am using one of those cheap ring/halo grow lights with a dimmer switch. I was wondering how strong does the light need to be for them to grow safely? It’s currently at 50% light capacity.

Thanks for this week's video! I was curious about how you entered the arrangement into the Succulent Tracker app. I typically enter each plant from an arrangement into the app separately but then tag them with the same arrangement name. Why did you choose to enter them as one plant, designated the 3 plants in a note, and then tag with an arrangement tag? I guess one difference is that one approach counts 3 plants and one approach counts as 1 plant. Are there other differences?
@Succulentsandsunshine
@Succulentsandsunshine 19 күн бұрын
I've gone back and forth. But when they're separate in the app, "my brain" has a hard time recognizing as an arrangement so I go looking for individual plants. In my head it's "one plant". Putting them in individually and using the arrangement tag is the better way to go, because then if you repot and move some of them on their own or to a different arrangement you still have all the data to go with them. I just started out doing them as "one plant" when we first built the app, so I keep doing it that way. I need to switch though! Every time a plant in an arrangement dies or if I break apart the arrangement I always wish I had put them in separately.

Bought a zebra plant a week ago that just died from root rot. Pretty mad aboit it cause I only watered it once and placed it under indirect sun for the majority of days I had it. I should've known it was holding too much water when I didn't see any drainage, but to be fair I paid extra for the place I bought it from to repot it for me. Oh well, not buying from that place again I guess 😅

That's always super frustrating! Sadly, it's not uncommon. Often succulents at local nurseries are over watered but the symptoms don't show up until after you purchase. However, some nurseries have a return policy and will replace plants that died within a certain amount of time after you purchase.

The pine bark fines in the soil do give it some nutrients. I've started using worm castings as a supplement and plan to do that every few months. Succulents often grow in low nutrients areas, but they do get minerals and nutrients from rain water outside. Using occasional fertilizer can help. Even a traditional soil however will get depleted of nutrients over time.

This arrangement in particular has been neglected and I've put off reviving it longer than I should have. I've realized over the years that it's definitely possible to have too many plants. I currently do and am starting to give away and sell some plants. However there are some like this that are naturally removed from my collection because I haven't given them the care they need.
