Compare Variegated Succulents - Vlog #382 Growing Succulents With Lizk

A week ago I have placed all the succulents here in the open. As you can see the sun is shining on them to color up while we're on the last month of winter. Three weeks actually. That's all that's left of winter. And this best friend. Hello best friend. A week ago you didn't look like that. A week ago you're pale and not so friendly. And now look at you. Gorgeous. Beautiful. This has been a bad, bad girl. Look what I've got. I've got some new succulents that I bought locally for a while now. I've been waiting for this plant's price to go down. So this is Echeveria Liberia. Look how beautiful Liberia girl is. Is there a song Liberia girl? This is still sort of pale but when this colors up it looks absolutely gorgeous. What I hope it would look one day on the left. I got a couple more in here. These two are the same so I'll put that on the side first. And this one is Strawberry Cheesecake. At the moment this actually is about $70 online. So it's a new hybrid but I'm just wondering if this is the same as my other similar looking plants. Which is somewhere up here. I had a similar one but I don't know whether. Oh no that's not the one. I can't remember what it is now where I put it. Where did I put you? I thought I had you there. Now that I got sidetracked I need to move this big red because we had minus 3.3 last night and tomorrow is forecast minus 2. But I'm already thinking that this big red will be able to handle that temperature. So I am now putting this in here in this empty spot here so that when I walk past this area I can see that beautiful face. Hang on I have to go look on the other side. Aha can you see it? I can see it that way because that spot is empty so now I can see that and once it's exposed to the sun it will grow much much faster. So those are all cuttings or babies from my original single plant which is this one. So this one has sort of suffered. This is the original one and it has lost a lot of its variegation. So this is the new baby. I have to put it down. Oh hang on but I need to move that into the sun. Okay so that way it can grow much better. So normally when you grow succulents in the shadow they tend to grow the variegation much much better. But before I get sidetracked again I saw what I was looking for. So I've been looking for this one. Ice angel you are mine. You need to be chop chop chop so because it's too small. So and speaking of small the reason why oh hang on this Beyonce which has gone traveled across Australia is now back in here but oh my goodness I get sidetracked with so many beautiful plants. Okay I have to make way for anyway I will come back to you Sedevaria blue elf. I'll show you the ordinary blue elf that I've got growing right now. So this strawberry cheesecake I thought was the same plant as that so it must be something else because or are you the same oh that is red tips silk variegated. I thought I had a red tip variegated. I don't. This is the silk variegated red tip and this is the reason why I'm not going senile yet. I don't have the plant so I bought this red tips variegated. So now side by side they should look different. Do they look the same? Yes of course sort of similar shape but the silk variegated has gotten wonky and this one is still straight so the variegation is sort of lines across the leaves and therefore that's why they call it silk variegated and this one is just ordinary variegation the transition of the color is just sort of so you get the see there so the green and the white so I'm glad I'm not going senile and I'm gonna grow this next to each other so I have to do a lot of moving around and the reason why I bought this there's always a reason you know is because of this plant Mexican snowball you see that because I have a Mexican snowball but only one so I bought two so which is cheap that's all she's got I would have bought more but anyway this is still small compared to my snowball look how gorgeous she is so hang on let's compare it side by side so that's the reason why I bought this one so it was advertised on marketplace in Canberra and of course the magic price is ten dollars and then I thought straight away I was there in a flash rang or sent her a message saying can I please buy one I thought from you and then when I got there there was two so this one has been growing here for a while and if okay I paid 80 dollars this is back then during WJ succulents when they were still selling three years ago oh my goodness so July 2023 is when I got this when I got that it was actually smaller than this one so anyway it was be three quarters the size and for now how many years later is ten dollars well for me so only because as she said the original plant kind of looks like this one which is I don't know what this is a rose queen or something like that but this is also a chevalier elegance hybrid there you go rose queen yep and I paid 15 dollars for that variegated and so the mother plant or the mother pot that she's got looks similar to this one but I said to her that my one or the snowball that I've got is much much bigger and she did not believe me so I have to send her a photo and she is just gobsmacked so this is now a baby from this rose queen so which is I believe very close to strawberry ice or raspberry ice all that sort of icy icy look but this is variegated so this has grown so much more so it was only the quarter of size originally when I got this but see my hand okay so quarter and that's how it was now the size that is but you can see that that is a different plant and I thought this is similar to the other one that I've got the strawberry cheesecake but then they are different now I'm so I need to let them settle in here before I transplant them and I probably would have to leave this here for a while to acclimate so when I do get new plants actually when they are coming from the same area I don't really like repotting them so I let them be to settle in because they've just been repotted I'm sure they're just a cutting taken and so you don't want to disturb the roots especially now that we still have cold weather so I think tomorrow is the last minus three hopefully or minus two and after that will be warming up so when it warms up it's time to propagate as well so but I'm not gonna show you that in this video I'm gonna show you that next video hang on I'll put you here but before I do that I need to do some rearranging okay I'll just put this back here for now because I want to show you other goodies so if you're wondering what the original red tip non-variegated looks like there she is so someone says I like the original one better so this is my red tip who has gone all red so the tips are all red but you can see that this one when they variegate they sort of go paler or do they remain pale I'm sure one day I am gonna grow this to sort of merge the color into this to that wouldn't that be lovely but I gotta be careful not to over expose it because that's the only way I could make this color like this one while retaining its variegation because most plants or most variegated echeverria or succulents they actually revert to non-variegated if they get too much sun exposure and when they get starved with sunlight they turn like this so this is a non-variegated cherry baby so to me it looks like it's starting to variegate the center so when I repotted it so I removed this from a big pot that is in a different area of my garden and then I potted it up and I made sure that I did not give it any fertilizer nor did the soil that had fertilizer in it so I recycled my old soil just so that way they don't have any nutrients nutritional value especially after they're being zapped from the microwave so these two hang on I just let me show you see there you go I hope that variegation continues because cherry normally goes red like the red tips as well and I don't know where my normal cherry is so I have to find it but if I don't just believe me they are much prettier than this one this is sort of looking pale but eventually when these get exposed to the sun carefully slowly hope it will retain its variegation and also color up like the almost like that color eventually actually there like that incorporate it with that or even that bonnie sarah bonnie okay the sarah bonnie is pale because I'm hiding it in there I'm hoping that will variegate and that's the reason why I place it there hidden amongst the beautiful babies on top about a year and a half ago I bought the sedivaria blue elf variegated it was only well at least it was two heads so it works out like ten dollars a head I haven't propagated this and sedivaria prefers the cool weather so coming on to spring in three weeks time I am thinking of off with its head that way it will still have time to basically grow but I am just curious to see how pretty this is compared to the original scene so this is sedivaria blue elf non-variegated and look how gorgeous that is hang on I am I seeing some babies now there's babies in the bottom but there's no new growth so I think if I chop chop chop that it will still have time to grow so compared to the non-variegated so which one do you prefer the standard one or the variegated one while I'm here or else I forget I'm gonna chop chop chop netho disinfect there you go and then do you need disinfecting as well no you don't we just go chop ah don't drop I did drop another one it's gonna drop ah hang on there you go I got one I have to find the other one so now I made a label so I'm gonna put it here it just says sedivaria blue elf variegated chop on the 7th of the 8th of 2026 and I am going to let this dry up in here and once it dries up I am gonna repot that and then this other one will be placed somewhere to grow okay but for now I'll leave you there last night I managed to put in soil all my leaf propagation from ages ago so this one here is crested munro and let me see that was November 2025 since I plucked them actually they rotted so I was able to save hopefully there's a few bumps in there hang on I'll just put this back here and very very slow growing and of course those ones this ones here are lemon and lime variegated grown from leaf and I've got a lemon oh this one is a polylinseana monstrose this one sort of bump in the head but I think that's a mealybug I can see and hang on I don't know oh it's just uh scab I think yep okay so the rest are that's uh unidentified or no labeled variegated plant and there's quite a few of them growing and at the back there is chihuahua yensis variegated so I got one two three four possibly variegated maybe five the five I've got no hope but four chihuahua yensis variegated that is and at the back there is I've got a few blue surprises one two three four five six seven and a tiny one eight which the leaf has dried up and fallen off now I got more room to put some more leaf propagation that already produced babies on that side of the blue surprise now inspection time for this dry up cubic frost see look how beautiful that variegation is so this is grown from a leaf so if you can see on that side as well that little baby stem on the left hand side from that sort of a baby grown as top you can see that that one has got dry leaves and also possibly a variegated as well and up the top you can see or I can see some mealybug because it is dry so I really need to water it and then another one here so you can still see the leaf drying up growing there and it has taken root so it's going to embed itself into the soil and this mealybug here we roll it up and look see that is mealybug so I'm going to inspect this and twirl twirl twirl and clean clean clean and that way we can get rid of the mealybug and also I need to water this because you can see the leaves are all dry and it's puckering up but before I do that I have to do my methyl this is denatured alcohol or methylated spirit and one cup methylated spirit and a quarter cup water and that's it okay I might as well do the variegated one as well which also reminds me I do inspection time for that variegated cubic frost up the top there yay she's growing she's getting bigger but she's not going to grow bigger if I don't water before I go since we're in the topic of variegation this is Echeverria red wine silk variegated this is red wine peach to be exact silk variegated that's what the label is and look how cute and beautiful it is and so many moons ago a couple of babies from here I separated it so I bought a cluster and I separated it and I planted it here and look at the difference it has reverted to normal and grown bigger but wait there's more I can still see a little bit of variegation on that leaf there you see that but that was the small ones are silk variegated and this one is not so anyway that shows you that the difference in the growing the growth of variegated to non-variegated although the variegated one is pretty and small the non-variegated one grows to massive proportion in comparison to its variegated counterpart unless of course you are grown in Lise's garden so I don't know even what I've done or what soil I put in this one I'm sure is my advanced succulent soil mix to grow this this big and for the future that the newly acquired Mexican snowball will grow into nice and big as the other snowball anyway guys that's all I've got for this video thank you so much for watching and hope you enjoyed this looking at the beautiful babies that I've got so they are expanding I'm getting more and more and more and since I've got more I have to move things around so I can have more space so I can have more plants oh Beyonce you are so gorgeous soon you will be happy for a second there I thought I was having a senior moment this is the plant I was looking for to compare it with the strawberry cheesecake so I thought this kind of looks familiar and so this is what it reminded me of this plant so this one is not strawberry cheesecake it is ice rose also known as Raja variegated so ice rose forty dollars I paid for this plant and now it's growing a baby underneath so which is good but then now I can't wait to compare the two when they grow so will this turn out exactly the same as this or vice versa only time will tell
