Succulent surgery - benefits of restarting succulents #art #garden #villalindura

Let's talk about all the benefits we can gain from repotting a succulent Yes gardeners in today's video we're going to discuss all those favorable aspects When we prune our succulents I'm Daniel Aparicio and we're at Jardineando Jardineros What do you think about starting right away So gardeners let's dive into another delicious experience I think I'll take off my gloves because I'm not feeling quite comfortable handling the succulents I was already filling the pots with growing medium so I could plant and reseed these succulents In the introduction I mention that we'll be discussing the benefits that succulents offer when we restart We've already discussed this topic when we did the decapitation but still gardeners it never hurts to mention it again bringing this topic back up now that the succulents already have a root system is going to be more interesting So when should we repot a succulent to restart its growth Gardeners when will it be two or three years before we notice the succulent has lost its vitality and can no longer thrive Or when we notice that the succulent no matter how long we care for it and nurture it simply refuses to produce offsets So gardeners that means we have to restart our succulents In past experiences in years gone by I practiced this method which yielded very positive results So gardeners if you're watching a succulent that isn't growing at all one that's completely stopped growing a succulent that we've been trying despite our best efforts to save from some root system infestation The most sensible course is to completely decapitate and restart All these charming elements we're seeing here were decapitated to restart So gardeners it's time to plant them but first let's talk about all those benefits For example look at this one—see the root system it developed so clean absolutely no pests No problem for its development since from this point on at 100% at that speed I'll say One benefit of propagating succulents this way is that the rosette will double or even triple in size Rest assured gardeners The stem we've topped will thicken further meaning a much larger rosette When we have highly developed rosettes very large rosettes the succulent will begin to produce offsets It had not yet generated there by the time of decapitation I'd like to show you our Antares—one of our signature agave varieties the flagship of our collection the renowned Antares This Antares gardens shaped by natural circumstances or altered by our own hand has been restarted many times In nature gardeners remember at Casa Aparicio many of our succulents thrive outdoors I've told you that the cattle the cows the bulls—they often eat the succulent plants out there In that attempt to eat they pulled him away from the succulent substrate and there too the cycle restarted When I arrived I noticed the succulents scattered around Casa Aparicio their root systems completely dry Then the succulent also resets there When we intervened bringing these agave plants from Casa Aparicio we removed the soil from around the roots to make transport easier From those days to now I've noticed our Antares has come a long way A little while ago I told you when we decapitate it the rosette will double or even triple in size When a rosette is huge it's already quite substantial in size and it just keeps producing offspring nonstop Look at the proof right here with this Antares These little gifts we're given are already ours—over many seasons they've been graciously bestowed upon us But this season has been the one where he's given us gifted us countless little ones I've already taken out one here another there—I've pulled out about four babies from this Antares so far and we still have more Look here gardeners there's a baby I think we'll be removing shortly Here we also have another one and I'm not sure where I was looking So gardeners this would be one of the benefits of repotting our succulent They double or triple their size and give birth to many babies Now let's get back to gardening Those would then be the benefits regarding the succulent 's rosette which will double in size and produce offsets Now we have a much more important benefit for these beauties Gardeners succulents often fail to thrive due to issues in their root systems Not only will the succulent help curb portion size as that nutrient deficiency might also play a role because the soil may no longer provide the minerals the succulent needs to thrive There's another issue far more dangerous for gardeners I think that's the word Having pests like scale insects or something more serious such as nematodes in the root system Many times gardeners experience such issues that cause our succulent to fail to grow properly or stop growing altogether And let us go to the extreme so we don't lose our juicy harvest So when we perform this practice of resetting we will completely eliminate any pests We'll remove any such issues present in the root system When we pruned the root system there were likely some pests around Remember that we haven't checked the substrate yet We've left the cuttings in the pot By the way they've already sprouted But now that we're planting these little beauties look at the lovely root system each of these seedlings has already developed We're starting from scratch These succulents are going to come back to life These succulents are going to revive These succulents are going to double or even triple in size And the best part about this whole practice is that we won’t have any pests whatsoever So gardeners we've discussed the benefits that come from restarting a succulent by decapitating the rosettes All of these have root systems so it's time to plant them to encourage growth and reward us with countless more seedlings Now we'really going to head into space where we'll set up our substrate and arrange each of these beauties Just as were about to plant each of these seedlings take a look at what we've stumbled upon Gardeners it's truly beautiful to witness this kind of behavior in succulents Even though the rosette had no root system to nourish these little ones just look at what happened I remember when we decapitated them they were tiny but look how much those little ones have grown Dani where have those babies been getting their nourishment How have they managed to develop From the rosette gardeners and the mother But as they've grown so extensive look— they've practically covered the entire trunk And I was talking here with my Drick—can't we just plant it like this Because if I place the cutting on the substrate it will rot So what we need to do is carefully remove those babies The same thing happened here Here we already have a root system but over here it was completely filled with babies We've already removed them all look these babies right here Gardeners truly succulents never cease to amaze me Miren three six seven babies like that just leaving them there to rest until they develop a root system They noticed that succulents are among those tough plants Despite having directed energy toward developing a new root system They have also provided energy for the babies to develop Thanks to this behavior we've had many babies Look here there are babies there are babies here I've also removed babies this way So gardeners this process hasn't stopped It has benefited us greatly So let's go with this one I think we should stop filming here because I need my Drid's help—I have no idea where I'm going to slide the blade in It's really tight in here We're going to have to remove all these little ones I'll remove a small piece and then it'll be easy to take out all the babies Gardeners we're here with the procedure for this surgery I've had to remove a few leaves and now I'll carefully position the blade so we can safely extract it They did it gardeners—look at this perfect bloom Behold these colors this is the stunning Black Seoul Beautiful That's why I tell you gardeners that delicacy and patience play a crucial role in the process of growing succulents In this process of practicing this art we must be extremely subtle and delicate when handling these delicate creations If we suddenly veer off that way we'd already have lost that rosette and that's exactly what we don't want We need as many rosettes as possible to stock up our little shop This one here will now be much easier to remove even though I've damaged the root system a bit over there Oh gardeners it's really tough I'll go see where this little one is coming from We're right in the middle of this juicy surgery That would have been a good title for a gardener wouldn't it Succulent surgery Oh my God You have to get out Oh no this can't be happening Yes he came out gardener Came out perfectly look I thought I'd already messed it up but here it is We'll remove these little roots The plant 's root system is already a bit damaged We'll try to do it very carefully Okay that's it Indeed we carefully remove this sheet from here Alright check this out—we've already cleared this section The main trunk is clearly visible now and this part is going to be really easy I truly love this utility knife gardeners It's an extremely slim blade that we can maneuver into tight spaces like this one Look another one popped out Very pretty with the little trunk still intact Let's go with this one I think we're going to have to sacrifice these pages though I'm not sure really It's just a matter of getting positioned properly and making the cut In any case those leaves will be consumed during this development process Look gardeners we'really making great progress I'm surprised gardeners I said there was bound to be at least one rosette that got damaged but no They saw that it wasn't so This one really worries me Look how tightly packed it is We'll have to carefully remove a few leaves Sacrifice let's say We 're going to sacrifice a few leaves Well then let's get started They're tough Look here there' s a root system right over here We’ll try not to damage those little roots so they can immediately sense the growing medium We’ll also have to sacrifice this leaf As soon as they feel the foundation they will grow in ways they can't even imagine A ver It has become moist We truly feel like we're in the midst of a delicate surgical procedure here We've become doctors ourselves gardeners Succulent doctors What I'm missing is my assistant She should be helping me out with what we need for this I'm already flying gardeners I'd believe even a doctor Another beautiful baby We're up to five now gardeners But this Black Seoul went too far It went too far Despite lacking a root system it has still developed its offspring They saw A little bit more Alright I think that's it Another baby I can't believe it gardeners that everyone is getting out unscathed This one here will be easy too since I've already seen it The little trunk Perfect Another beautiful baby Let's move on to this one I also think this one will be easy Yes please no The last one—there I don't think were wrong Look It came out perfect Where else That's all Oh poor thing Look at how this Black Seoul has turned out Completely deformed But what matters is that it has a root system And once we have the substrate this will give it the boost it needs to grow Seriously where are the little roots we saw Yes gardeners I don't know where the roots are Yes perhaps in this very movement it has shattered its roots Here it is I'm not sure you can see it There are tiny roots among these dry leaves So we just set it down like that and this will give the swelling a boost How many babies have we harvested One two three four five six seven eight Eight little gardeners How lovely our Black Seoul is and look at those beautiful colors Gorgeous This one stays for our little shop and we'll only plant these We've already gone through this process with several others we haven't shown you yet For example we've also removed this from the Bloody María Bloody María gave us countless babies One two three four five six seven eight nine maybe ten Now that we'ready gardeners let's move to where we've prepared the planters and place each of these beauties We already have the pots ready with the substrate we prepared yesterday It's time to place our succulents which already have a root system There are real gardeners out there and I'm absolutely thrilled that these plants are in good hands These succulents these decapitated rosettes once they feel the substrate The river rose higher than they could ever have imagined I want to start with what's most important—some agavoides that hold deep meaning for me These ones here look at this beauty Just take a look at this stunning creature Those colors— this is the true beauty of Mexico Beautiful beautiful It already has roots which is what matters And that's all we'll do—just place it My hands are full of hair because I brought their bed from Paqui and Antares That's it just like that and it's done Important gardeners during this time I've been cultivating succulents the growing medium must have at least a finger's width of space so that when we water it the substrate doesn' t spill and when the succulent begins to grow We could achieve better control over handling dry leaves or holding babies when she grants us the chance What if I plant right at the edge of the pot When we'ready to hydrate we'll pour the substrate What if I plant too deep Gardeners we won't be able to carry out those maintenance tasks easily We're going to have trouble We'll also make it difficult if we try to remove some of the babies Therefore I believe one finger is appropriate Let's go with another Mexican Check out this beauty This root system gardeners Oh no no But what a darling little root network over there And so now what are we going to give this space They don’t know how it’s going to unfold Ask me about it over there and say Dani we think the pot is way too big Gardeners no It's the perfect size for our agaves I'll take advantage of the opportunity to remove these dry leaves And so I think we'll leave it at that Look at that root system No way gardeners I can't take any more of this incredible spectacle Very nice beautiful Let's go this way and pose It turns out absolutely gorgeous Look at this one Out of all these I love this one but the gardeners really nailed it Look at those colors Look at those beautiful leaves Even though as I told you we've been having very cloudy days days of heavy rain days when the fog practically blankets us entirely they are keeping those pigments Very pretty Now where should I put this one In this pot And it would look like this It's very nice No no It's not properly centered We need to center it properly as well Make sure the spaces on both sides are equal so the rosette has enough room to develop nicely Okay The first plantings remain little garden patches Let's set this aside for now This part here I think the video is going to end up a bit too long so tomorrow if I have time I’ll organize the space where they were working I'll show you how each of these beauties is arranged I also remove these dry leaves All of them have root systems They all have root systems gardeners So they're practically new plants already I love this agave variety because the spines are so sharply defined Let's see if the camera captures the spines clearly Among all the agaves I have this is the one with the longest teeth A madness succulent gardeners Alright We'll do the same with this one This process is quite simple We do it this way It would have been planted yesterday but you know we're busy with other delicious pursuits here in Villa Lindura I'll take advantage of cleaning it before it rehydrates Once these cracks have rehydrated It's going to be a bit tricky to handle it the way I'm handling it now I can do it now because the leaves are slightly dehydrated and pliable So let's get to it gardeners and give it that little tidy-up Very beautiful This is a Romeo we received from Madrid Spain Very beautiful When he arrived he was burned out from the frost issue but he's already recovering What about the next one This one here Poor thing Look how our Black Seoul has turned out I'm also going to plant it in one of these pots That's all for now You'll soon see how it's going to unfold From those very places where we've taken the babies may they once again give us more babies I think we've used smaller agave or succulent plants for these pots Here I have take a look slightly wider and larger planters These are the ones where I'll place the giant ones This is the Bloody María We're just going to set it up like that And you'll soon see how Bloody María is going to unfold We have three Bloody's They realized the Bloody's are also incredibly prolific After this planting after the work we're currently doing they're going to develop in ways you can't even imagine I'll put another Bloody here I think I'll need more planters like these for those giant succulents For example this is the Echeveria Agavoide Rojaya Let 's place Rojaya right there Like this Very beautiful And this giant one too Look at those beautiful colors this agave has This agave plant is a gift from a friend of mine from Arequipa Kevin Alright Look at this beauty wonderfully We have three left I'll go find some succulents from our collection with larger rosettes We're going to need larger pots gardeners The thing is we have a lot of agave plants that are already quite large like this one This is the Echeveria Agavoide Blue Dragon or Blue Dragon Beautiful lovely I'm going to remove this leaf And it's already taking root over there growing steadily Lovely This is truly a giant-sized agave plant as well So it requires a substantial amount of space to grow properly Take a look at this one Yes I'm almost there gardeners This one is also That's not possible I can't withdraw it Wow Alright we'll leave it like this I just don't like the way this one here has I think I'll bring the pliers gardeners since I need to clean it I've already brought my router here and we're going to clean it We're sorry gardeners Today we didn't want to set up a table we wanted to work in a more rustic way We said why go through all this trouble Let's just go this way I want to remove all these dry leaves before planting it And I don’t know why this jerk gave us so many floral stalks last season But it’s no big deal Look it’s starting to come out I like this pair of pliers because the tips are slightly rounded and won't damage the succulent's leaves I have another pair that's very sharp Yes gardeners that one is extremely dangerous so I don't use it for these tasks What else Oh gardeners I'm forgetting something important I'd like to ask a question of the Argentine gardeners What do you think What’s your take What are you saying out there Let me know in the comments We're thinking about traveling to the garden in March And maybe bring along some succulents I'm not sure if that's a good idea Alright gardeners what do you think out there They might be interested in purchasing some of our copies from here from Villa Lindura from Arequipa Now then gardeners I'm listening And if your feedback is favorable no need to say more—we'll head over there right away But first the consultation gardeners Because it would require extensive logistical effort to transport some copies all the way to Buenos Aires Argentina Alright gardeners then I leave it to you my gardeners from Argentina OK it turned out roughly like that Now let's place it in its new little home There it is perfect I love it And finally we have this one the Jade Star Jade Star so beautiful Oh I think we just pulled off a baby it can't be No I must have taken it out myself Oh gardeners yes look here A little one came loose—can't believe it But he came out with a little twig that "we'll definitely make it" kind of thing So no worries there you go Antares Antares is always the most curious You may not have noticed gardeners but in every recording we have Antares is always closer to me He gets extremely intense when we'recording And Paki is kind of boring Look at how Paki is over there in her bed Let's see if the camera focuses There's Paki She's not bothering anyone she's just like that after pulling her tricks But Antares is truly very curious And one thing Antares learned gardeners when you want something When it wants something it nudges you pushing gently with its little snout It comes over and pushes you like that It needs something that's all Maybe water maybe a trip to the bathroom or perhaps her cookies— I don't know But something always seems to be needed when she does that We'll keep going gardeners And we set down our Jade Star And it's done We'll stop filming here and refill all those planters to reconnect once more We're now at the final stretch of this project Well gardeners check out this beauty I absolutely love Halloween What would Gavoy see in Halloween Look at those marbled patterns black tips peach hues a gray center No no A beautiful Gavoy We'll plant it here like this This is one I think it's the White Champagne unless I'm mistaken White Champagne We've lost the Pink Champagne But we'll get it back gardeners Look there are babies here But the problem with these babies is that they're stuck too tightly to the rosette So we'll just have to plant it like this as is Either way we'll be extremely careful when it comes to watering The good thing is that now all our spaces are covered so the rain doesn't reach them That somewhat calms me down Alright gardeners so it turned out like this We've planted them— take a look see if the camera pans properly across all these beauties The beauty of it is that now that they've planted the substrate the growth will be something they can't even imagine So gardeners I think it's going to be quite a different experience when we have to organize everything in there But we're going to check anyway to see how the little shoots are coming back from the cuttings we left in the pots where they were growing before We're here now let's see if the camera can focus on this area It looks like a lush cemetery yet no gardeners are present Of course some didn't work out but others like this one just look at how many babies they're giving away Here too look there are babies Now where There are babies over here as well Here look little ones are coming Here too there are little ones lots of little ones So gardeners did you notice that the cuttings still had the strength and vitality to produce new rosettes After putting in this effort many of these little ones won't have the strength to produce babies again But the important thing is that we'll still have a bountiful harvest of succulents So when we restart our succulents let's not discard the cuttings Let's leave it at that—they'll sprout again as you can see So gardeners we're still in for a fine harvest of these succulents And this entire space will look better than you can possibly imagine Hopefully God willing I can finish early tomorrow the tasks I have at the office with the travel agency And then finish this project so we can share it with each of you How beautiful this little place is going to look our little agave haven Gardeners I want to reset all of these as well Even though someone told me over there Dani please don’t reset them—they look really nice now By this point these giants must already be enormous So I think it's necessary to do that work on each of these adorable creatures so they once again look like the agavoines we just planted When we first revived this beautiful reptile it was still very small and hadn't produced any offspring yet It had already been about two years But here's the thing—right from that moment we'd already taken out a little baby We had to come all the way here gardeners as we are just so the point would be crystal clear When I say they're going to double or triple the size and give babies away Indeed I was telling you that since we restarted this variegated reptile we've already had the chance to remove a baby And wow baby look at these gardeners—what a development you wouldn't believe it Look look at this baby it's practically ready already o decorate any other garden besides Villalindura This result gardeners with reiteration with decapitation o turn our succulents into new plants There are benefits the succulents will become much larger plants They will become more prolific So if you're noticing your succulents looking a bit lackluster out there don't worry—encourage them Your succulents are losing their vitality that succulent which is increasingly being consumed by the rosette it needs to be reset gardeners So do not be afraid everything has its process but that process is moving along a very very favorable path for our succulents I've already shown you the Antares and other succulents with clear evidence So gardeners let's wrap this up here Thank you so much for joining me on this delicious journey Thank you for leaving us such lovely comments on all the shared videos We're incredibly grateful—huge thanks to everyone To those who've just arrived I invite you to subscribe to my channel a canal where I share experiences like the one you've just seen Gardeners from Villa Lindura in Cusco Peru to the next experience Shh
