How to care for Succulents: orange monroe

I get so caught up in the middle Thinking of trying to Good morning everyone So today We'll be discussing A very special Sakilet One of my favorites This is the Echeveria Monroe And how I care for it And why I suggest this to everyone Especially Beginners or newbies We also have Korean And we also have Benguet propagation So it's easy to buy now And it's not that hard to find So Our setup is different I decided to buy this It's like a sack Canopy tent I got this for Around P2,400 At All Home And it was delivered here at home Installed it in Maybe 2 hours But Do I suggest it? No Because the framework Is really flimsy The tube is thin The fabric is like a sack So You know, in time, it'll just get wrinkled But will it last through the Summer? Yes But it's almost the end of the summer So my problem now Is it's still flimsy in the rain When there's a storm So I don't think it'll last long with me So but You know, for the meantime Some of my plants Started etiolating Like this on the Opalina The shade net was Too much And I didn't want to go back to the 25% Because They're still burning there So I decided to go higher So now it has a roof It's high So now The positive is Am I happy with it? For the meantime, yes Because I tried staying here From 8 o'clock All the way to 12 o'clock I stayed here until 12 noon To see if it's hot Or if there's a burning plant And It's really nice because I noticed That The touch The feel Before in one of our videos What's the difference of the shade net This one, really I don't feel any heat on my skin It's warm, yes But it's not piercing Heat So I'm very happy with that So that's the Positives But I know that it won't last long Because I can't Let people in our village To have the Greenhouse or the roof installed And made So for the meantime, it's okay So check check Oh and yesterday Amabil died Well, he's not dead Again Reminder on the When you spray your Fungicide maintenance This is my Amabil I have two I have one, this one, the big one Actually, this is also a big one What happened was This side Was only sprayed One side only And then I noticed That it suddenly paled And then when I checked it The leaves fell And then Upon checking There were black spots So When I checked it I cut it I will show the video link Here later I noticed The charcoal was starting to rot So I cut it and then removed All the Loose leaves and hopefully It will recover If not, it's gone But it's part of Being a gardener So let me just show you the video clip Of what happened to the Amabil Let's see Charcoal rot At least we know now Fudge Here's what's left Hopefully Since the center is still alive And there's a Small stub left The leaves will not be removed So Hopefully It will still be alive Let's see the root system There's still some left But maybe It's been a month or two It's already root bound What a waste But you know, that's life It's charcoal rot I didn't notice it It's still beautiful So what do you do With the soil Throw it away And then wash your hands Before touching another plant The pot You have to disinfect Because it has fungal spores Definitely So after one year of being inside This pot Time to say bye bye Socks It's part of the pots Of my dead squids So that's the story Behind that So let's go to our main story For the day Which is my plant feature Of the day Which is my Echeveria orange monroe There it is This one This is her Blue ribbon I was able to Enter her In a competition In Evilla For table top Best table top Succulent So this one This is my giant monroe Actually it was bigger When it came to me I cannot take the credit For this one Because it came from Ate Jinky Kadyogan I think she was one of the first To sell Giants So I got this one This was Before touching the brim For me, it's been one year It's been with me for a year I just Sprayed some Fungicide on it Yesterday And you notice It's core is off It's center And if you notice Smaller leaves are coming out There But don't worry Because it's growing Like this But it's uneven I think it's because The sunlight moved From December It was on her right side Now it's on her left side So she's confused But it's good for her It continuously grows It's not hard to take care of It's leaves are coming down It's leaves are heavy I think It's thick It's fat So I sprayed some It's hard to Touch it It has signs of fungus So I sprayed some Fungicide yesterday That's why it's core is off It's better than killing the plant Altogether She was the one who won the Tabletop competition She gave me I was able to win there A 1500 gc From all home And a 1500 gc From all day supermarket I was the one who won Because it was in Evia And it was so near to me That's why I joined her Because you will leave it there for 3 days So I was very hesitant At first but I joined her And she won She's the champion for tabletop Winner But I love it This is my Echeveria orange monroe It's also big Palm size It's also big This one I got from Korea From Succulents From Kitajung And then same with this one This one is a smaller version I got this token size But now it's big Big one It grows fast actually And It's not that thick Compared to Lawis But the The Plant is very sturdy This is my favorite The form is always like this It's beautiful It's like lotus leaf Right? So pretty And when you Put them all together It's appeal is different For me Their color is not good Because it's not sunny It's rainy That's why It's on the bluish green side But During December season The good thing is The tips turn red So super happy With them Do I recommend them for beginners? Yes, yes, yes Buy this If you don't want to die You won't leave this This one It's so kind It roots fast In a week's time It's not prone to Overwatering Not unless you water it Everytime And it can tolerate deeper pots It's a deeper pot Almost one step The depth It's deep And it can tolerate That's why I like it Since the pot is deep And it can tolerate it I don't need to water it Like every 8 months It can stay For a year This one is enough It's still fine It still has a lot of space I don't have a problem with it This one It can handle it I will let it grow Until it grows Because I can feel that It's roots are still here More than a year It's super happy Most of them This one is around 3 years old 2 years old Plus 1 year This one I don't know how old it is When I got it It's this big You can see the difference Within a year It's a big difference You can see the layers That's when you can see If the plant is old And if the plant is established Because it has a lot of layers Same with this one You can see so many layers It's tall There It's tall That's why So what is the right care For the Echeveria Monroe For Monroe They're happy When you get them All you have to do Is put them on top of a dry soil Dry soil mix I really suggest Everytime you have a new plant You always put them in a dry soil mix So that the extra moisture Will not touch the stub So if ever they're still adjusting We take out the equation That they can get over water Always use a dry soil mix When you're potting a new plant So what I did was I potted this After I got it I put it directly to a dry soil mix And then Waited for one week And then I watered 10ml Like this one Around the brim of the pot Like this Just spread it Until you finish the 10ml Is it enough? For you to give 10ml No But the thing is When they get here After a week It's not rooted yet So it doesn't need the water So what I'm trying to do With the 10ml Is to entice Root production Because when the plant Feels that There's moisture in the soil And I'm thirsty So it will now Start growing more roots So at least It will start To anchor That's the signal To wake up and make roots So after I will just follow The watering technique For the sun Requirements are the same But the difference In the last part Is that this one The Echeveria monroe Are very sturdy when it comes to Heat and the sun So what I do is I give them full filtered sun Which is this one This is their location There's a blank spot This one This green box of mine This one is facing south This is my east This is my west So It's important for me That my plants are facing south Why? Because Even their growth They don't lean to the left or the right Because if you notice The leaves of your plant They grow to the left Or to the right Because they chase the sun So to keep Their form Like this one They don't lean To the right or to the left It's important to have A south facing Spot for them So that they get full filtered sun So that's it The Echeveria monroe Love the full filtered sun Don't give them full sun Because They are not immortal So they still get burned They still burn if there's too much sun But it's good for them Technically For me It's a medium grower It doesn't grow leaves that fast But It's a steady growth I don't see it Resting To grow new leaves You'll see A lot of fresh new leaves On the tip You'll see a lot of new leaves On the tip And sometimes What I did was experiment What I did was actually touch I touched the farina For this one I have a mark now This one, we'll see in how many months time It will go down Let's experiment That's what I did before That's when I know If they grow fast or not That's a good tip If you want to experiment on your plants And you're not picky On their farina For the meantime Try to rub off The farina of one leaf On the tip, on the center And then From there, monitor When it goes down That leaf You'll see the growing cycle If it goes down Give or take 3 months In 3 months If there's damage It will grow Full set of leaves In 3 months So Soil mix for this one I just use maceteria Amended with Vermicast Basic soil mix But this one, I tried my own soil mix With this one I put Canuma and Akadama There It's This one, the soil mix you can find In our YouTube video But for this one, it's maceteria For this one I think this one is Love Socks So, I tried my own Soil mix But all of them They're happy For the Echeveria Monroe I'm very happy Because they're not picky As long as the soil is super fast draining They'll survive They're not picky They're not Arrogant What you should avoid As with all plants With all succulents Is that, avoid them getting wet on top Wet on top Especially if the water is dirty Or Rainwater from the Alulod Because All of the succulents are prone to Bacterial infection So, the soft rot can happen So, that's what I always avoid So, if they're getting wet If it's just a little I'll just blow dry Blow the leaves on the top of the leaves In the morning But I don't use Alulod water The Rainwater that you're blowing From the gutter I don't use that Because there's a lot of decomposing material On the roots and alulod Dried leaves So, there's a lot of bacteria Fungal growth molds So, we don't want to use that in our plants So, that's all But You know, generally The Echeveria Monroe is a very good succulent To grow here in Manila Here in the Philippines Especially in Manila It's very humid Typically, some of the Plants here, they don't thrive But this one, this baby She can She can survive Here in Manila Mainly because Her parentage is from Ilawi So, her flour Is from Ilawi Her mother is from Ilawi So, she's kind So, again Thank you very much And I hope you give the Orange Monroe a try And let me know How good it is to you If you have Echeveria Monroe And please don't forget to like and subscribe And Have a great day Bye I'm losing sight Because I am falling
