Expose Succulents In A Sunny Area _ Vlog #374 - Growing Succulents With Lizk

It's only been a week ago so probably about 10 days since these succulents have moved from Canberra to this spot that they're in now and somehow I noticed that they started to lose color because they are in this area where it doesn't get sun until about midday. So they're only enjoying the afternoon sun and even this beautiful purple delight. It's sort of still coloring up but not as colorful as when it came here before and also I've noticed this Ionium, this beautiful Ionium, I forgot your name now but that one is the color is also fading so I really need to move them somewhere warmer where they can grow much much much better. It's now time to move my beautiful babies so the first one I'm going to is not this one. That one can stay there and even that one I think I'm gonna move. Sun loving ones. This one and this one hang on because I need them to color up so let's move them. From here to now there. So this area now they're gonna receive first thing in the morning sunlight and also in the afternoon this is still sunny even up to about three o'clock. That area here in the corner they still get sun so hopefully they will color up and of course as a comparison I put this Red Lantern here which is still green and of course on the opposite side is the Leticia which has got a little bit of coloring as you can see that's already colored from coming from camber that is and now that it's here I'm gonna find out in a few weeks whether this will color up more or it will go green but also I can see a little bit of coloring on this Ionium which I don't know the name if I have a pip at the back that is actually Halloween crested so this was actually grown sort of right at the back and so now after being exposed out here in the afternoon sun it's starting to color up so it would be interesting to see in a few weeks time see how this all goes. Are you gonna color up more or are you gonna fade? It's time to harvest some lemonade so look how pretty they look aren't gorgeous so these are gonna be taken to the local post office to give to whomever wants to get them anyway so I think let's start with the top one I leave the ones in the bottom and I just pick up the ones that are on top oh I don't know which one to pick so gorgeous but anyway also got thorns in them that's why you gotta be careful or I should be careful and that one's is already oh look how lovely they look should we go up the top or leave the ugly ones or get the pretty ones or because we're just giving this away and if you're gonna give things away make sure you always give the best and you save the least for yourself because it doesn't matter once they're all squashed up they're all just as lovely oh see those thorns oh nasty look at the thorns just nasty gotta watch out so I got a box here with free lemons sweet should be lemonade but then it's not gonna fit so lemons will do box is now full and let's go see how much lemonade we've lost it still looks the same I've also chopped off the top parts anything that's sort of growing up the top that I can't reach anyway let's go make some lemonade quarter to nine and let's go see the situation outside if the sun does ever shine let's go check it out I can see it through the window here it's coming through and finally can you see the sun the rays is almost hitting this corner so by nine o'clock this area would start to experience sunshine on my shoulders it's gonna make my plants happy yay and of course on the other side still nada nothing so for areas that experiences frost the best place to put your succulents is where the sun will shine first thing in the morning so that way they will have time to thaw out and survive the frost much better 9 36 in the morning and finally the sun is here yes Lucy look at the beautiful succulents now look at them they are now drowning in sunlight so this is just absolutely beautiful even here settle Mickey Mouse are you gonna color up or do I have to move you a little bit further here let's see there you go that actually looks better over there so now this should grow better faster and hopefully more colorful and my baby's down here don't worry my loves soon you will have sunlight look at that it's crawling in slowly don't you agree Lucy hey Lucy you want to go back inside now come on baby girl let's go come on let's go so my future baby succulent growing area to where I place the succulents now I should just call that the drain area or the edge of the veranda and if I spin around to the best spot of growing succulents would be where the bougainvillea is growing now because this is the area where the sun's going to hit the succulents if I were to put a succulent here see look at that huh glorious so this is where I will be growing a lot of my mature succulents from now on where the bougainvillea blooms now it's lemonade squeezing time so I've got some lemons here look how nice and big that one is but anyway we got a few to do so but this is just enough to fill up a container and because I've got my juicer here and I just squeeze squeeze and pop it out well that must be big we're gonna squeeze squeeze again and after I finish the whole lot I put it in this container which has still got remnants of some frozen ones you can see there and you can have this as like a paddle pop or icicle whatever nice and once it sets I cut it up and put it in a bag like this and then if I want to have a drink so I just have a glass and then I'll get a couple of cubes so this is my drink for the day or for the night and I put it back in the freezer and soda water I look dangerous with a knife don't I and I just stir it and let it melt a little bit so this is my soda lemonade drink refreshing hello baby girl where are you come here ah nice cup of tea actually I'm having tea right now I just feel like all coffeed out it has been a cold morning eight degrees overnight so there's no frost but the sun hasn't come out yet and Lucy Lucy Lucy's just been following me around as usual I can't go anywhere or do anything because she just wants to hang around me come here baby girl oh look at the cute little kitty kitty oh you want to sit here and she hasn't eaten any of my succulents yet except this one my little uh what is it you call this Mickey Mouse ah you've been flicking your tail on the Mickey Mouse so it lost a couple of leaves but apart from that it's been really really really good aren't you hey you haven't eaten any okay don't show your backside to the people here uh to the folks okay they're gonna think you're a very indecent cat hey okay come here come on Lucy oh she wants to show me I think the spots where she hangs around but I just sit here every morning and have my morning cuppa ah and she just sits there oh yes I almost forgot so you think it's over no it's not I'm gonna show you the last bit or result after two weeks isn't it I've only been here two weeks oh so now she's sniffing around as well so she wants to be a succulent addict as well so let me show you the result of two weeks growing them in this area because there is quite uh some exciting changes to my succulents hey Lucy where are you going this part of Sedum Atlantis look how they're coloring up aren't they gorgeous it's just going red so I'm not too sure whether they're actually going red because of excitement of the sun or whether they're about to die and I'm not game to pull them out so I'm just gonna leave them be and also that gorgeous chenille is just sort of more intense and even this black king kong just seems to have colored up more and also this one was just all green before my glitters it wasn't glittering at all and now it's showing signs of reddening on the tips and of course other succulents that are in here are also showing promise of coloring up even this one this was all green my Sedum Clavatum and look it's starting to gorgeous up again and Recorvata you are also showing promise of coloring up so as this one which is the red lantern which was almost all green I still can't I mean it's not really that obvious yet the coloring but it's showing sort of yellowing and of course eventually it's gonna go red enough now this one here the Beyonce it got eaten by something and that's already damaged from when I had it in Canberra and of course this one now it is showing a little bit of color but I just put it here the last couple of days because I had it on the opposite side and it seems to have lost its color the Mickey Mouse here which never ever colored up now I can see some pink tips and of course the black spots on the edges there that was from the transport moving from Canberra to here in Victoria it has been damaged because of that but it's got nothing to do with the weather here or burning it wasn't the sun that burned that so anyway also my Pulvinata Frosti is also starting to color up and also from the other side okay I'm not gonna discount the other side but I'm gonna get to it but anyway this one as well pink curls or whatever you are forgot your name now but this is just looking so gorgeous I'm almost tempted to chop off this big one here but I think I'm gonna leave it for a while and see how it goes because I don't want to put it in too much stress by moving and then chopping and moving here and there so the plant might go on depression mode and start dying on me and I don't want to do that now my Multicalis that is sitting here has lost its color I am going to continue leaving it here on the opposite side it does get afternoon sun but maybe because I place it where these two are facing the afternoon sun in this one is facing this side which doesn't get direct sunlight and maybe that's the reason why it's fading but on the other hand the Leticia sort of also waning the color is sort of lightening up and I'm still gonna leave it here because I do want them to grow so it doesn't really matter if they color it up or not but this is now the biggest result I found is this Halloween Crested which did not have any color at all before two weeks ago and look at now even though here in this sort of afternoon sun only area it's now starting to color up look at that and so as this big ball of this lemon rose lemon rose very pretty and the lemon rose is sweet as well look the edges are coloring up I didn't think it would color up like this look at that one as well beautiful but I think is that burnt or whatever I don't know but it's still gorgeous anyway guys that's all I've got for this video thank you so much for watching and Lucy's here sniffing my pot look at you what are you doing there's an empty pot ready to be planted with something beautiful and she's sniffing it I actually found that from the local recycling area here where I am now here in Victoria
