Fuzzy Succulents Worth Growing | Vlog #344 - Growing Succulents With Lizk

I went out today to get some potting mix at my local hardware store and what do you know I saw this anthurium and this is just so magnificent and I couldn't help myself and since Christmas is coming up I thought to myself what better way to reward myself give myself a gift. Javi used to buy me lots of Christmas presents. When I saw this anthurium I can't help it I said I gotta have it there was actually one that's got more magnificent flower than this one but it's got a lot of damaged leaves and this one has got only one damaged leaf so I thought this is my Christmas present. Merry Christmas Lizzie. One of the first few Echeveria Echeveria that I bought when I started growing succulents back then when I wasn't even growing succulents because I don't know what these plants are called but so this has got to be 2015 so about 10 years or one of the oldest that I bought in my keeping is this Echeveria Cocinea and of course look at the legs of that thing so look how long so my hand so how many pieces is that one two and half I'm almost three with this top one here and I have never ever propagated it and this is a very fussy Echeveria and it almost feels like sticky but not quite I haven't propagated this one well actually probably I did I lied I did propagate I broke one off many many years ago because that was the object I think before yeah I remember now and I'm going to show you that one I just forgot about that anyway so this one now needs to be propagated so what I'm going to do with this one is actually just break it off okay because it is summertime so I'm going to take one from that I'm going to leave that one there because you're okay there are you gonna let's just go and propagate the whole thing okay so I'm gonna do this upside down in here with an empty pot this used to house my Ionium Pinkwich which is now gone to heaven for a very long time not coming back but anyway this one now so I don't know you're touching I kind of like the really sort of long gangly thing the way it grows here so see I haven't got the heart to propagate I'll leave that one already taken one so that one is good enough and the other one that I've got is this one so Echeveria Cocinea so this you can tell that it used to be long so this is probably nine years old so just a year younger than my other one and of course I was tempted to propagate it last winter I broke off one of the branches here that's already dead as well so okay that's it all dry and I broke it off and look see that's the frost that did that although it's quite frost hardy and then I stuck it in here and then now this one look separated you separated my plant this Cocinea now is growing strong so maybe it's summertime right now and this is the growing season so I think I'm just cutting this off and I have to reset it there you go since that's a baby and then if it grows more plants on the stem which a lot of times do they do so hang on look how long that is it's all like oh there you go I all knotted it up so this one now I'm gonna leave it there to dry up for a couple of hours and then I'm gonna stick it in soil that's the reason why I went and got some soil because I'm out of potting mix soil one of my viewers what is that and foliage okay made a special request if I could show some fussy plants well plants weed fussy leaves so this is now another fussy leaves uh Echeveria that is so I don't know if there's other fussy leaves I know I've got a Hoya with a fussy leaf but anyway this one has been affected by iron so the water has got too much iron in it and now it's showing on the leaves but it has recovered so this is during winter so maybe it was just damaged by the frost as well I can't really tell because it was almost dying where I had it over there all cooked up under the shelf which is that part there so now I moved it to here and they seem to be recovering so I don't know how many plants I got back then but anyway this needs to be cleaned up as well and same as the other one since they're growing I am going to or this one's gonna have I think are you a flower or baby I think I'm best leaving this one first for now I'm not gonna touch it but the minute it starts uh growing or showing signs of growing of growth I prefer to just leave them alone and let them do their thing so that way they can gucci themselves up and when they're all gucci'd up I'm gonna chop them off. Another fussy Echeverria is Doris Taylor now this Doris Taylor has got a story Doris Taylor I've only had one so this is also one of my first few succulents that I bought and back then I don't even know what this fussy plant is and it's got a fussy mealybug in there so this one I started with one plant and of course I did the same thing I chopped it up neglected it and then of course propagated it grew in the same pot that it's in anyway it was in a terracotta pot before and when I found it there was only like two of them left so the other ones died over the years and so I propagated and they're quite easy to propagate as well even the leaves that are growing in fluorescence like this one here we'll pick the one that's sort of a bit more mature I just leave them there and I think a couple of them grew from that now this one is gonna be flowering so I don't know what you call it peduncle or whatever anyway so the little ankle and now that one I'll put that there and hopefully that will grow I can only hope and sometimes hope springs eternal is that saying and they do grow and so okay I'm gonna leave that or let that grow a little bit more to mature and then I will harvest the leaves and the same thing hope that they grow and that's it that way I'm gonna have more Echeveria uh bad sign because the ants that are crawling everywhere hang on oops sorry dead now I'm sorry this is the second one there's another one here a while ago that I also squashed now this one is flowering and Dorian party girl is also a fussy plant look it's got all that little hair that's got the fuss thing so we take this off because okay is that mealybug there anything that's sort of white anyway I need to clean this up as well because there's a lot of dry leaves in it so this one is only a baby so I got this actually only about three four years ago but this is a Jocelyn Ainsworth hybrid so from Andorran stud plant uh stud farm here in Australia so this is I'm assuming that it is her hybrid because it's called Andorran party girl and it's quite easy to grow and quite frost hardy this plant so I had it somewhere else before but then now and it was all red so you can see the back of the red there so the face of the plant the whole thing even the the center they were all like really really red and blushed not quite as red as this oh Halloween anyway but frost hardy enough from my area as far as soil is concerned this is just my basic master succulent soil mix so they like a fast draining soil and if you give them some healthier soil or more composted soil chances are they might rot but I've always planted them in my master succulent soil mix and they seem to be doing well while we're on the subject of fussiness this is one fussy fussy plant or actually spiky but look how beautiful that flowering is oh my goodness so it's ready yesterday one two three four four of them and I was waiting for this other one to bloom bloom bloom but it did not so at least now I get to capture the blooming of this one and of course that one there look how beautiful beautiful that flower is oh hang on I'm trying to squeeze this in come on go inside there you go that's better gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous and of course there's a few more cactus or fussy ones but this fussy spiky ones that's going to go ouchie ouchie if it hits you but anyway so look how fussy look at that tickle tickle tickle there's the flower it's about to bloom and look at them all of them are all building up budding up and soon they're going to open up and then also that one is raributia I think or mammillaria are you okay I don't know it is a mammillaria something look that poor thing all on its own another fussy echeveria this is a tosa variety or diminuta I was going to say variegated no it's a variety diminuta so look at all that hairy fussiness in it so it's different it's almost like a cross between okay they've got little uh fussy star it looks like a star to me in the end anyway so you can see that's a doris taylor and then this one is diminuta or it's a tosa variety diminuta and also different to lycothrica okay lycothrica you see again they're all different fussiness I didn't think I have a lot of fussy plants I thought I only have a couple and now that I'm looking for it I could I find that I got plenty of fussy plants and is that a fussy plant as well so there's a graptoveria or sedeveria silver star anyway is that a fussy or it's just long eyelashes flicky tips long tips look at that hairy tips and I put this one this is the old long eyelashes that I got from someone look at that gorgeous isn't it and another long eyelashes is that one so that one as well look how beautiful those long tips are it's gorgeous so I got this one from one of the succulent sellers that used to hybridize a lot of these plants or their plants and now they don't sell anymore they're going out of business so which is sad because I bought a lot of plants from them and that's one of the plants that I got from them by the way this one I harvested this okay okay I'll put this here all right that one there is flippy floppy because it's just sitting there so this is already look it's rooting look see I harvested it now it's just sitting there I need to stick that in just want to make sure that one is already set that's set and then this one I have to tease the soil so a lot of the succulents they can die if the soil gets compacted so they need air circulating through the roots they like their roots to be also freshened up so anyway put that there like so and then push that underneath so pretty in it like that is so gorgeous okay there you go now you can grow you can grow baby am I gonna put some stick on you I think I better because okay I'll leave it it's all right should be fine there you can go back in there oh my goodness hello wicked lady you're a wicked wicked lady look how beautiful you are have you been really really wicked hang on look at this oh beautiful oh you're growing a baby and you are being wicked look at that it's got claws as well ah pointy look oh so you are under the same category as these fuzzy plants and I think it's growing bumps as well look at that it's got bumps but I saw ants so maybe yep there's mealybugs so what I'm going to do is spray it using my methyl and this is now late in the afternoon which is around six o'clock so the sun's still out but anyhoo that can go back up the top do I need to spray the back now I don't hang on oh okay you go back in there another fuzzy plant this is trichoderma densum my goodness trichoderma it is densum yep I thought I muck up the name but look look how fuzzy that is I think they have little cute pink flowers but they're already finished this was a month ago that they bloom and now it's all dried up so maybe I can get some seeds from that but I'm not holding my breath okay so but still I like all sorts of plants so you can see that one too look how beautiful that fuzziness is but look you're gonna be good mommy loves you you be good okay that ant I don't like it when I see ant it's a sign that they are they have something sweet that they're actually going for but in case they haven't or they go sorry ant oh I'm gonna be 10,000 times unbecoming it's gonna take me 10,000 times before I become a human again because I killed an ant or two or three today how red is that agarwood look how beautiful that is which reminds me I've only ever had one leaf propagation of agarwood that has grown so you can see I paid 20 dollars for that plant before I'm not gonna well okay at least it's about three years ago and I stole two leaves and this is one leaf and then another one leaf that I stole and then this one actually rotted as you can see it's sort of starting to rot again and then I was able to get one leaf again and I put it here and it started growing again so now I got one two three agarwood that are grown from leaves and also rotting ones so that one from a rotted leaf and it still grows and got beautiful oh I love my agarwood I think it's time to repot you and take you out of the nursery because that's quite big now beautiful beautiful beautiful plant okay so this cochinea has been hybridized and I think they turned it into a recorvata and this one got hit by the frost but I managed to keep it intact and it's still alive that's important thing so this is actually my second that I bought okay so cochinea recorvata five dollars is what I paid for it before and then now it's grown and I just noticed there's some little pimples it's like a pimple there and also there and so now I thought how about let's go take I don't really like the way this is growing here so I'm gonna chop this off hang on there you go so I'll put you here propagate you again this one this one is too long so we'll you've got some babies growing there anyway so I can take this top off you wouldn't mind there you go so I got two and then that one is there another I'm gonna leave those two now but that's too long yeah so that one might not survive but this one hopefully it will okay I'm gonna leave it because that looks so cute that leaf okay poor thing I'm just butchering my plants but if I don't do that they're not gonna grow and speaking of butchering this one plant that I butchered about almost two weeks ago this is the ionium that was all yellow that's the head it was so beautiful and right now they are dormant so which means they're not gonna grow they're going to sleep because we had 33 or 34 today it was hot but I wasn't expecting for this thing to grow pups it's gonna die so I thought I might as well chop it off in the chance that it will grow some babies can you see the babies okay okay can you see that I don't know hopefully see those little pimples there I call them pimples because they're just so cute little one two three so hopefully they don't go all yellow or white or pale there's another bump they're growing so hopefully they will grow into something with chlorophyll with green that way they don't die but at least now you can see that the temperature when I chopped this off it was quite cold we had a cold spell well about 10 days ago and then so there's a time I chop it off and then now it's growing even though we're getting warmer weather this thing is trying to hurry up and say come on push some babies out so that you can still continue to grow so I think that's what it's trying to do so at least I've got a one two three very prominent baby bumps baby bumps look how fussy that clister cactus is beautiful look at that gorgeous do I want to touch it I think it's soft yes very soft oh good baby grow baby grow hello Echeverria frosti crested this was a big crested so it was like huge about that tall big before and of course over the years the mother plant basically died and so the babies I harvested and then now they're all growing again so you can see they have kept their crest so you can see the cresting so they're not very hard to grow so if you live somewhere where you don't get frost basically it is just so easy to grow them so as long as you keep your soil so you can see this soil here is very very very fast draining I just watered last night as well so we had 33 yesterday and okay this one now roots growing okay sorry I've just disturbed it okay that's a different plant but anyway so they don't need much looking after so if you forget to water them they will tell you that they're thirsty because they're gonna shrivel up and sort of die basically slowly you can see that they're dying like this one here I saw it dying and because I've overlooked it and I haven't watered it so you can see here okay there so that's signs that it's drying up like that so this one did not make it but the other ones have made it so you can see this dry so but even if they look like that I don't even worry too much I just stick it in soil and of course they just recover they will find a way to survive and if they die they die but others do survive anyway guys that's all I've got for this video I am going to stretch out hang on this one as well it's dying this aeonium morning glory I think but the seeds I want to collect the seeds and that's why I let it grow otherwise I could chop this off again and new babies will grow there some will continue to flower but some do grow but anyway I still got a whole heap of ones that are sort of dormant as well now so I'm not even going to touch them so this is I think one of my most expensive aeonium so I already took a couple of cuttings as you can see and they are growing one two there's a few that I've taken and they're growing now as well anyway guys thank you so much for watching hope you enjoyed this video and 3F's feline flowers and foliage I hope you enjoyed this video and thank you so much for watching again and I'll see you on the next video do we do crested plants next time okay said goodbye but I just remembered I've got this Hoya villosa this has got to be one of my favorite Hoya because of the hairy back so if you feel the back of this it's got I but you could feel it little fluffy hairy thingy every time I walk past here I would always touch it that's why probably some of the hairiness of this one has already disappeared I don't know if it's coming off it's not and then but it's just so nice to the touch oh I love my Hoya villosa I think villosa means hairy isn't it there are a lot more fuzzy succulents like this surprise here so you can see the fuzziness on the surface of the leaves and of course this ruby slippers Pombinata that I have grown in the shade just so they can grow fast and now I can actually repot this or take them out of this foam box here and plant them in a pretty pretty pot and then that way I can expose them to the sun so they can be all nice and red and look like a ruby also this nice cute fussy sempervii I chryson the tencortianum also got fussy and sort of a sticky sticky surface which is so nice and also this ionium here as well got a little fuzziness there's so many other plants that I can't really cover a lot of them or else this video is just gonna go on and on this and the last fussy succulent for this so the whole stem or stalk or leaves however you want to call it is all this fussy soft soft soft soft like a jumper coating and look better not touch it because there's lots of babies growing as well but anyway guys that's it that's really it so I'm now inside here because it's getting hot outside and then of course the fungus gnats are getting zapped because they're all active again so don't forget to stick your yellow paper
