Succulent Treasure Hunt | Vlog #266 - Growing Succulents With Lizk

Good afternoon my lovelies. Today I'm getting itchy fingers for chopping. And yes, you guessed it, this is my first victim. My Ionium kiwi which has been growing in my front door in the dark all autumn and winter but has survived our winter frosts. So now I decided it's time for you to go chop chop chop because all those babies inside there is not gonna grow unless these big ones here are removed. So they are well and truly ready. Look, oh look at that, it's starting to color up as well inside there. It's just screaming, look I'm pretty, I'm pretty, let me out, let me out. Yes, I will let you out but first I'm gonna chop this one off. Have you heard of the famous saying if you don't chop them they won't grow. So I am chopping them so that they will grow because this is the only way we can have a lot of babies because all of these babies here all came from one plant. One plant to rule the world when I started and I chop and they grow. They might look ugly for a while but eventually they will look beautiful. There you go, so now I'm exposing all those small ones that's gonna emerge from the depth of this pot to come out and say look at me, I'm beautiful, let me eat so that I can grow beautiful just like those old ones that were here before. So anyway, all of this might look drastic but this is the only way you can have a beautiful head of succulents. Look, it's nice and bold. I'm not gonna bore you with this one, I'm gonna continue doing this later on but for now we're gonna move on. I feel like going for a treasure hunt so let's go for a treasure hunt or more like a succulent hunt. Oh no, I got carried away because it's about to rain and so I decided to take some cuttings of my pinkwich as well on the side here but anywho, that's what it looks like. I'm still to get some cuttings of diurnium, crested sunburst but I'll do that later on and look, off with its head. The mother plant or mother head is gone but anyway, I left this other one here because it's just too pretty or else it's gonna leave a spot in here that's empty and now I'm gonna take this and put it somewhere a little bit on the protected side unless it starts raining then I don't need to remove this here, I can leave it here but if the sun continues to shine today then it might get sunburned. Really cute baby so I need to put this somewhere protected and this basket of goodies now I will bring inside to dry up for a few hours before planting it. Yesterday I discovered a few plants that I forgot forgot and before I start off my treasure hunt, succulent hunt, oh hello bee. See look, look at the poor little bee and that's why I can't remove that because look at that they're going for the the weed flower I forgot now oh never mind my brain is really fogged up I can't really think lately but anyway so I'm gonna first look to I mean look to what look to a shamrock that's it look for shamrock see I can't even talk I just want to find a four-leaf clover four-leaf clover where are you the ones I got in the past few weeks or what days is actually from behind me so now I don't know if there's some four-leaf clover in here did you see what I see okay is that yes ah look is there more oh look whatever got here oh this poor thing broke off from the top where did you come from were you there I think the birds have been plucking them look it's already got roots I think the birds are how can this come from there I'm assuming how can you oh there you go probably came yep from there and then the bird probably took it to bring it to its lovely lady say look I got flowers for you and then the lovely lady bird said I can buy me flowers now this one oh look four-leaf clover and next to it another four-leaf clover are you four yes is there more should I bottle this up and sell it selling four-leaf clovers so I probably make more money doing that than doing my youtube videos anyway so I've got two and one time I had a visitor here a few years ago a father and a young lady bought some succulents yes I was selling succulents before hang on take that because we don't want that anyway I'm gonna leave those flowers there but anyway this area I'm standing in here now this little girl just bent down and pick up a four-leaf clover so I still got some clover in here I'm sorry I have to pull you out there's no bees here the bees can go into the other side take that one too now search mode go look for four-leaf clovers four-leaf clovers do we have four-leaf clovers okay let's see who can spot it first hang on no it's so cute anyway I don't think there's any in here oh there must be I haven't looked here before uh well I did look oh hang on that one no I thought it's like six-leaf clover anyway no four-leaf clover okay can't be there have to be there has to be one even just one come on show me show me no oh well such is life what can one do unreal this is how persistent I am see look see nothing and look right in my face laughing at me is this one see look hang on I'll take that I'm sorry take that one first that weed because where did you go now come on look see I told you if you will it oh hang on where did I broke it never mind it came from here look it's four hang on it just looks it's stuck together so I have to pull it open now another one no I thought it's one okay I'm happy I found another one here so there you go if I look hard enough I'm sure I will find another one but there's better um there's more fish to fry what was I saying oh come on let's just go okay so anyway a one a two a three okay so I got three four-leaf clover and then uh the next couple of days I leave it I see some areas over there I'm getting I am I have an obsessive compulsive uh personality by the way I just when I do something I just keep doing it so if uh I feel like eating something I will eat and eat and eat until I'm sick of it so this one needs to be cleaned up and oh yes the reason why I'm here now this sedum here which is it's got a long name some rice golden rice or isifolium okay it is or isifolium variegated now this looks nice but not so nice because it's all leggy now the best way to thicken this up is to chop them off okay so we're gonna take some cuttings because if you don't they're not gonna grow they're just gonna be long and leggy and ugly and you can see that the plant itself is telling you please chop me off it's starting to grow some roots you can see that root there there you go oh now a lot of them see root so we gotta chop it off because if you don't they won't grow and then eventually they will die and then you won't have any more sedum golden rice now I'm gonna put this somewhere else and not leave it here but first I need to get container so I can get some more now yesterday I was watering this area and I discovered I got many plants hiding here which I'll take this one because that's trouble trouble now oh hello pink edge I think that's pink edge and then this guster aloe growing here oops ah look at that that's already a baby propagation and then oh this one I thought I'd lost all my sedum now I'm gonna take you off and then just drop you here you need to grow oh look she's already saying I'm out of here I think that's got broken off maybe I hit it sometime before anyway so I'm saying I don't want to be here anymore like you're neglecting us you're not looking after us anyway poor thing and look I discovered I got a whole heap of Mendoza not Mendoza Daruma Shirei so I thought I lost this I thought they all died but these are all grown from leaves and look at that you know I just dumped them and throw them all there scattered them and then they grow I will attend to you later on once I have a spot or a soil prepared anyway I've got my Rasula Anumala here look being overgrown by oh my goodness this is like a jungle in here it's a jungle in here ah look ah and look what I found uh-huh in that jungle nest I saw this last night and then I thought a little yesterday afternoon I thought I'll save it for you so you can enjoy uh also having this actually uh I don't know if this is Shichikuksi or probably Shichikuksi or elegance I'm not too sure but it's elegance hybrid anyway Shichikuksi is and okay I have I need two hands one to hold it down and one to pull now this Murtala here blue tongue has survived you can see oh my goodness there you go just bit by bit we are going to get there but this is three years really of neglect where I be said they got plenty of time to do that when I'm gone so now that he's gone oh speaking of me sort of laughing I'm not happy that he's gone of course I'm very very not gonna start I've been really really good lately actually I just I got sick a few days ago that's why I haven't uploaded video for a while so I don't know when uh it's actually Wednesday today but the date I don't know September maybe 25 26 anyway this one now will I need to chop off the bottom of that because that's dead so hang on there you go I broke it off and in the process I drop a leaf see there you go so that's already callus off so it's just a dead stump but that root there once that touches soil that will grow hang on there you go that can do that will do for now anyway so this needs to be cleaned up I have to expose it and then another shichiku see have you got a label the label the plastic labels I find now I don't want to use them anymore so I because see look that's just never mind so I prefer the metal one this came from window blinds aluminum but there is Cinderella or Cinderella you lost your shoe never mind hang on see this is like a treasure hunt in it ah look oh I didn't even know I've got a pot here oh my goodness oh what are you are you the same as that one see okay it is kuksi I can say I can see she um shichiku see see uh can you see that I can anyway so it is shichiku see all of this so this was oh there's another plant here look I'll just get rid of this ones first see all the grass that was on this side is trying to crawl over on that side see now I'm blaming hubby for the grass because originally when it was all barren before I wanted no grass because I'm the one mowing it he's not and then anyway and then he gave away our lawn mower so we have to buy an electric lawn mower just so I can mow the stupid lawn which I didn't want but anyway so now this one oh look what I found another uh hello no name I told you this is like a treasure hunt I'm finding all these trashes okay hang on now this one oh sabkarimbosa lau 026 look at you you've grown really long because you're trying to reach for the sun saying I'm dying here I need to feed so plants get their food from sunlight without sunlight they go leggy and without sunlight they will die eventually or they can mutate and adapt and turn into something else but hang on I'll just expose these because I mean I can't really just go chat with you while I'm cleaning up and this pot here I don't even know what you are there's a label there but again same story that's already if I pick this up this will just fall apart don't oh it did hey what are you achiveria mountain range oh yes I did bought this from my local hardware store mountain range okay now hopefully I don't there you go so this metal one can go there put your next and then I'll take this grass oh look what are you oh another weed oh this is just francesco baldy so I'm not even gonna worry about you I should take some of this for salad it's actually really really good uh weed what do you call this weed I can't remember don't ask me right now I'm sure most of you will know um oh I just can't think right now okay yeah I forgot yeah I told you before okay now I'm just gonna go as I talk so you can see my mess I'm just gonna I was actually sick a few days ago I got a cold so I wasn't feeling very well so I thought I'll take a rest for a couple of days and while doing that I just go clean my car in between and whatever oh my goodness oh hello I'm astral and oh my goodness what are you oh this one I think I remember this yes I did bought this it's setosa lilac oh lemon lime setosa line line oh never mind lilacina who cares and now I don't know if I could still revive that but I probably won't and this one here now what's your name puli uh puliana not polyamorous yes okay yeah I was sick and I will tell you why I got sick sometimes I don't want to answer my phone anymore because a few days ago I got a phone call from a friend of ours that I haven't heard from for a long time anyway uh when I answered the phone I was like because I haven't heard from this person for a very long time so I said oh hello and then he said oh so you're happy now and I thought why wouldn't I be happy and he said well considering you know considering I said yeah it's almost five months uh since of course hubby passed away I think that's what he meant to say and uh because I asked well how did you expect me to be oh well I thought not this happy so anyway that got me upset oh like how how do people actually okay happy happy happy thoughts again okay like if you're sad then they sympathize with you and they say oh I'll give you some time to yourself because you know I'm expecting you to be sad but you know after almost five months should I still be the same as from day one actually I think day one was the best that I've ever been because I was already sort of expecting it and I was just in control mode um organizing the funeral and all that sort of stuff and took a while a few days to figure out what I'm doing not actually from day one I've always been level-headed I've always been I sort of know what to do basically and I will get emotional but still uh not too emotional where in I can't function so to me there's no point I mean this might be harsh to say there's no point crying over spilled milk my husband is not a spilled milk I know that I'm just saying that as an analogy that the situation it's been a long time coming so I've already expected it but I didn't expect the impact I thought I'm ready for it of course I was ready for it for about the first week and the second week settled in and it's like he's not really here anymore and so after that oh hang on what am I gonna do here I'm just living my life day by day trying to get over not crying and so I haven't been actually for a while until last week when this person rang up so now I decided I'm not gonna answer my phone anymore apart from uh the kids and you know mom and dad even my brother um I don't like uh actually it was his birthday the other day and then so anyway he lost his phone and then I was ringing him up and he did not answer well it sounded like um my phone was blocked oh look how beautiful my bonsai is flowering so anyway I rang up my sister-in-law and then I really hounded her she's at work she's not supposed to answer her phone so I sent her a text message because she can't really answer her phone she said I can't answer because I'm at work so anywho oh look more weeds uh I'm just discovering things with you okay now this one Delosperma something come here this is Echinatum yep I need to propagate YouTube so I hounded her and said look how come he's not answering his phone and blah blah blah anyway apparently he lost his phone so I thought I was relentless I even went to their house to leave a note saying I came here just to greet you happy birthday because I thought uh he was upset with me okay so and then he said no no no I was just I lost my phone so anyway so this is what this person has done to me you know made me paranoid and upset whereas before that I was really really happy so it's really annoying that to think some people would say something like that that oh you're too happy I was just gonna say well I'm happy because you rang but I didn't say that anymore normally I used to say that because he might think that oh what is she so happy for should have said to him yeah I'm getting married that's why I'm so happy no I'm not but hang on so I just gotta go and blow my nose anywho this video actually I am not gonna chop this off so you can see all the bits and pieces that I'm going through look aeonium that survived the frost okay so this is like a green aeonium that's actually frost hardy so I need to chop that off because it's too long anywho oh let's go do that okay that's probably gonna die yep we'll shorten it I'm sorry I have to do that because you need to grow I'll just put you here to dry off anyway so I'm gonna go back to that horrible person who made me feel horrible well he's not a horrible person he just made me feel horrible and are you variegating I hope you variegate so anyway how long are you supposed to grieve like how are you supposed to behave if the love of your life pass away like when you lose someone um that's a really difficult question to answer isn't it because different people will have different timeline as to how they can never get over people never get over I will never get over but I have learned to manage it I'm really really good now considering what what's your name oh gluttony cow is so beautiful see I you know behind this laughs and carrying on I am grieving but I will grieve forever so I always say I will never stop grieving over him I'll never I was gonna sing again but no I can't anyway oh yes this one as well now if this is gonna be a long video I don't care I haven't done a video for a while so anyway after talking to this person of course my system's down and then so I got sick and so I didn't do a video for a couple of days few days oh hello look hello what's your name Hercules you're a strong plant look it's just grown uh a mop top that's what it is and also another weed here we have to remove that oh look I still got some of them alive this is each oak so and look that one is gusto and look weeds and look uh so this one says well halving jerry can you believe that I have so many helping jerry but I went and bought another halving jerry last year just one plant just to see I think it was a cluster of three or four and then I propagated it hang on I have to blow my nose again and you got no idea guys it's so windy here again look it's forecast rain as well I can't see anywhere I'm looking up the sky hang on I just dropped my tissue now this one here this helping jerry this one I started with just one plant this is now eight years ago when I started and then now to many many many plants so imagine from if I just propagate this imagine how many helping jerrys will I have so probably good to do this as look a video cleanup now this one what's your name I can't remember your name what are you Domingo probably Domingo oh look are you variegating I hope you variegate but anyway when you don't give them enough nutrients and enough light they will variegate and look it's dry that's like anyway oh look more what are you blue miss are you sedivaria blue miss or pachypytum something but look the plants are saying I'm getting out of here look look how long that is oh wow look it broke off Bernalense I'm sorry oh look some survival anyway guys this is now getting to be so long but my battery went flat so now I'll take you over here that was pain rose by the way which is just gorgeous and this one is vanilla beast and this one is grown outdoors in the element I had seen a couple of frosts and sun and beautiful look how fat they are but anyway I also forgot to turn my microphone on so I'm voicing over and this is a vanilla beast that is grown under the shelf out of the sun and look this is actually my first one and look how green it is compared to the other one which is grown outdoors see the difference see what a little bit of sun rain and frost can do the plants is just so gorgeous compared to this one see look at that beautiful and then the other one looks sick anyway so if you're gonna grow your vanilla bees make sure to grow them outdoors if you live in an area like I do I think 9a so it has endured minus six but look at that oh beautiful and it actually smells nice I think it's got a certain scent but anyway this one now oh yes that's right yep I forgot yeah this one this is the reason why I'm here I came here to check on this one and also do an update for someone and look at that it's really really dry so I need to water this before I take some propagations because this is really my baby plant this I already propagate this one from my mother plant which is where we're going to right now and this is the mother plant look at the mother plant and this is the baby so baby is bigger than the mummy now I can't believe that after I think a year and a half and look how much I've got now and look at this one this one on the right I need to really propagate this and also maybe take some cuttings from the mother plant as well but beautiful beautiful autonomous expenses so gorgeous gorgeous plant look at that anyway so hang on I think I compare again so you've got the baby on the right and the mummy on the left and with this I bid you adieu thank you so much for watching guys don't forget to hit the subscribe button if you haven't
