These Succulents Can Survive The Winter Frost Growing Succulents with Lizk

It is nine o'clock in this freezing morning. It's already nine o'clock and you think Jack Frost will be gone but look at that. Yeah still ice and look water look at the water the water oh my goodness hang on I better hang on it's funny oopsie okay there you go look how thick the ice is look at that hey look at that hello there my name is Liz a self-confessed succulent addict welcome to my channel growing succulents look what happened to my pansies they're all frozen okay so my grass because this is not really a lawn this is the grass look it's all white from the frost look at that everything just about that's outside is covered with ice okay look at that my copper canyon huh okay I'm gonna go cover it so you can see look at that hey hey hello hello babies hello you still got ice on you that's paddy peat and that's elegance over there sempervivum can survive uh the frost no problem and this is a look at that still ice dew point this morning at seven o'clock was minus 6.5 so this is my outdoor covered area and it was forecast last night it was forecast to be minus four overnight so I actually thought that okay that's fine I don't think it's gonna get colder and uh these are the ones that was hit by the frost the last time so you can see the scraptopetalum pentandrum super bum my super bum and now it's actually recovered you can see it's all back and pink not translucent and darkish before my marmorata seems to be handling it quite well in here so I don't think I'm gonna bring you inside I'll just leave you here and this kalanchoe let's look at baharensis cv oak leaf yep this is the baharensis cv oak leaf and the last one I had died at minus seven so maybe um not cold enough so anyway I should really bring that inside poor thing but what I want to show you is uh how my plants uh failed in this minus 6.5 so this covered area I know even we've I've had minus 11 just about before dew point you know in this area and they all seem to be fine so let's check out my yellow ebony he's still good snow angel these are all newly purchased so that's why I'm a little bit concerned golden maria crest they're all new mebena uh shamrock is already a couple years old or two it's seen winters before that minima is its first winter uh okay so lawi and my romeo okay this is original romeo apparently and so I put it on juliet uh bowl with look that's a poison opal check that out but anyway these videos are not about romeo and juliet it's about um hang on check out the not frozen it's actually soft that one's firm yeah so they're all good even my I mean lithops sorry my lithops are all fine that's actually plumped up so there was all wrinkled the last time I done a video but now they're all coming back plumping up except for those two yet it still needs to be plumped up a bit more but it looks better than how it was so all the crassula here even the peperomia which is not supposed to be outside here is okay and my ionium look it's recovered so anyway uh I'm gonna go take you to so these are new ones that I just purchased recently that I haven't even potted up because I like to acclimatize them first before I pot them up that one is ready I think that's almost two months old but I left it in its original pot because it's better it's safer for it to be there than to be transplanted and then uh in case the soil is a bit moist or wet it will hold some water and it will die freeze up and die but anyway this is Andromiscus so all these ones are babies that I don't even have names for so I don't know what they are they're polydonis hybrid this one but that one is I think roulette and those ones are all different ones all the names I'm not too sure but I just have to give them a name so I know what I'm up for anyway this one's now my oh look at that hang on apart from the aphids okay so these ones are string of bananas I think they're fine this is what I'm really concerned of what are you alabaster magic I don't think she likes the frost I bought this about a few weeks ago so I've got Lilacina, Zasarihimi, Butan all different mainly Echeverias this ones and the frilly ones even the frilly ones all right these ones are just cuttings it hasn't rooted yet so this is I think what are you oh that's my red dragon okay red dragon let's check you out so it's just cutting so it's just dried up no roots you can see no no roots yet this one oh it's got a bit of one two three roots on that one but I still wouldn't pot them up so these are new ones my Delulu has shed some leaves that's Chihuahua Yensis, Ruby Blush they don't have sort of got a bit of root but they haven't got any root that one yet so I have to leave that there and Hakuhu have you got root this one look so this is what drying up looks like so it's dried up and oops I can see a root as well hang on see that there okay tiny little bit of root anyway oh my West Rainbow this was given to me and oh look it's rooting you see the roots there you go so I'm supposed to pot them up and California look California has got one leaf and can you see the root on California it's Californication okay so look at that see the little root sticking out anyway okay so they're doing fine and this is um northwest facing but it's in the dark so they don't get any sun at all so now this is now northeast but I've got these bushes covering them and they sort of semi-protected but they still get frost as you can see look ice there's still ice look at that hey this is the outdoor area that's not covered okay so up the top oh I lost a jelly bean it's already dried up anyway that one the Mendoza looks like it got tickled by the frost but apart from that it's okay so on this side here see the this is actually southwest sort of facing and you can see that there's still that paddy peat is still oops see there's still frost on it paddy peat this paddy peat they're really frosty as well but this one got kissed by the frost capri capri hello so this is what kissed by the frost looks like see look at that that looks gorgeous the color but normally they're all white they got the farina or the white fluffy stuff like the cante and the afterglow here so that white stuff on the surface of look this one okay so that's you call a farina so this white powdery stuff it's also to protect them from the the sun basically but also from the frost see I've noticed every winter although this is the first winter I'm actually home the cante would normally be open when it's hot or in the summer and the farina I think is the one that protects it from the sun the scorching sun but in winter I've noticed they they close off like when I come back after our usual trip I come back in springtime and they're always closed off and so now I know they close themselves to protect themselves from the frost but and so as the afterglow here so that huge afterglow is just gorgeous but there's a afterglow here this is the oldest of my afterglow that I'm miniaturizing so I haven't actually watered that the whole year so it's just by the grace of the rain that it's water gets a bit of water every now and then but apart from that it doesn't get watered at all so I'm trying to make it smaller now this is the barbellion look at the barbellion it also got kissed by the frost normally they have that farina or white and if the dew settled on the surface the white disappears and you can see sort of a darker contrast color and that's what I meant by kissed by the frost so that's kissed by the frost but it's fine the obvious ones from this area this is victoretta variegated so this one this is agavoides the agavoides are very very strong plants but even this one this one is okay so you can see the variegation on that one and there's lots of babies but the baby there's a bit of translucency on that one there so I'm gonna point it at that point there that's what kissed by the frost looks like but she'll be fine once the sun's out and the sun's out now and it's nice and lovely on my face anyways so that will slowly thaw out and it's not gonna die but this one this is my first year for this okay jimmy tenure okay jimmy tenure is gorgeous but you can see look beautiful isn't it but that is a little bit of translucency and that got kissed by the frost as well but what I do I just leave it here and she will be fine just like the super bum certain areas you have to give it time have I left the super bum in where it was before out in my 50 zone area it would have died but since I quickly put it away in a warmer area then she will have time to recover now the babies since they've been from day one are all doing fine I can't even find a single one that seemed to have been affected by the frost at all so the ones in the 50 zone here they're a bit bigger plants and this is sedum bronze ruptus sedum bronze I had them dyed on me in the past but this one is I've grown from a leaf myself so it's a very very very strong plant so all of these ones have been grown from leaf and they're all nice and healthy plants so this is the blue metal in sort of a semi-protected because I've got all these pots and plants covering them and over there is that one is out in the open this is like where the war zone is and also I've got a whole heap of other newbies these are still newbies because these are all less than a year old that I actually purchased them but they are a lot of them are hercules and apis and acacia ponds and also nightfall it's just dark but it's gorgeous anyway and then that one is a melako so you can see the higher one suffers from the frost more than the one that's in there that's sort of in the lower portion and then that's the this is supposed to go into my garden this blue metal and they're covered with ice at the moment so that's actually frost still so you can see and it doesn't get the sun until about lunchtime so this is also the my pansies so you can see them thawing out now so this is what happens so the sun will hit well overall the temperature rises anyway so as the day moves on the frost will melt and this is what melting frost looks like so on that side you can see that's fine so the the pansies are handling it much better the frost hardy plants and on the inside here you'd think that oh that's gonna die because it's got ice on it but this is what happens so with the succulents it's the same thing so when you see your succulents get hit by the frost most of them will actually survive if you just relax and don't panic the minute you see your plants being frostbitten then you just have to count to 10 that one got hit by the frost as well you can see that's been kissed i should say by the frost and up the top here the babies hang on let's go i'm gonna take this out hang on just a sec now this sedum clobatum is facing north northeast this is one of the first plants that get hit by the morning sun because it was high up and this is exposed to the force you can see that it has some frost damage especially those babies they're all just gonna die those ones they're not gonna pop out and you can see the wrinkling that's from minus three before and this one now look at that i'm a bird mother but i have to do this so as to know how to grow them better now this is one of the older clobatum that i had i had minus seven in the past out in the open in my garden that died i really love the structure or the form of sedum clobatum they're quite a pretty plant look at that how can you not love those chubby cheeks so this one i'm growing just to see as to what point it will die on me so this is minus 6.5 dew point this is celsius after today so i think we still have minus two forecast tonight so i'm we're gonna have successive nights and then minus four again the following day something like that so this one now before it dies too much i am gonna take this out from its spot and put this in uh in my protected zone area so i'll put it in my shade cloth area over here so but look at all those plants up the top there uh the i had the jovenna aloe jovenna somewhere here before and i moved it down to here so that look so the flower you can see it's already black but the plant itself is uh nice and healthy nice and healthy in the sense that it's nice and blushy red but pink but it has survived the frost so that can stay outside and these are my babies the babies are all these are munro munro are very very very frost hardy so you can see hang on i don't know i have to block the sun so you can see it better there you go so they are grown from a leaf and the mother i it actually suffered some frost or got bitten by the frost the first year i had it because you know me i'm a torturous person unless i do this i wouldn't know how strong these plants are and if they die on me i don't want them because i can't really look after them so andromiscus crustatus that is actually i think one of them i've grown from a leaf a single leaf and i actually had it at the end of autumn and it grew through winter so it's very very very frost hardy andromiscus so if you got andromiscus put it out you know as long as you've got temperate temperature like we have if you live in an area where in you get snow then i suggest you protect them put them in a glass house somewhere or indoors but for our climate we get frost but it's not really that severe because we don't really get snow we have snow in summer but in winter we rarely i don't even remember in all the time i've been living here a long time i haven't even remembered having snowed we got snowed or been snowed in in winter so we have very very very mild temperate temperature so even these sedums in the past the first year got them they just fell off and sort of died but then look at that this is sedum rubritinctum this is variegated and i also have sedum aurora variegata over here which you can see it's that's got bitten by the frost not yeah frost bitten but not dead yet so you can see the translucency so that's what frostbite looks like for more succulents but that one now i only had it for less than a year as well i've bought that last spring time so i might have to put it in my 50 zone that one but that's still saveable and this one now these are oldies and goodies this is graptosedum there's another name for this one but anyway that's frost hardy the mother's over there which is green and that one is also a pink jellybean or aurora that's also an aurora and it has survived the frost so in that same spot in that same pot in the previous years that actually just melted away so come spring time i only have a couple of stems left where in new ones grew from it so now that is one very very frost hardy sedum so you can see there's still ice on that one there i think yeah so look still ice on the surface okay there you go so that's still frozen but i'll leave it there and even this um copper canyon baby baby one you can still see icicles on the surface but that's a very very strong plant and that's a mother the mother copper canyon this one's leticia hello miss leticia this is the first year i've got this leticia and look how nice and gorgeous that is on that side it's got aphids but i already sprayed it so i didn't know what that looks like on the video but anyway i got better put it up the top here like that so that side did not get licked by the frost this side got licked by the frost so your translucency but it's the same thing they get translucent but i don't worry too much about it because the sun will throw it out so it will slowly fall out and also the scrap to see them here bit of translucency on the ones that sort of from the edge of the shelf it's sort of the juice settles on the edges of it but the back part where there's no dew settling then they're all nice and healthy so you can see nice and healthy but that one is translucent but that translucent will also come good uh by the end of the day and same as this one this is sedum uh jelly beans ruby tinctum this is the green one which is now red and you can also see there's a bit of translucency but apart from that uh it'll be fine by the end of the day so tomorrow all i'm gonna do is just push them all in a little bit so an inch uh will make a difference and this rahoya uh is very frost hardy there you go my little rahoya so again i'll just leave it there because i'm trying to make it go pink and of course topsy turvy and longissima over here so the center is longissima um the frost doesn't worry it or now this one titanopsis what are you i can't really titanopsis aloinopsis frost hardy to minus five but look at it see and i keep it dry that's why uh it's there but apparently they're very frost hardy anyway and up the top i don't know um how being jerry i ottero so uh there's a tiny tiny bit of translucency on the tip but these are cuttings from a mature plant that i've had for almost four years and also violet queen very frost hardy and hang on there you go they look better like that so kiss by the frost but otherwise doing really well so apis as well these are gonna go into my garden that's why i am growing them to go strong on me to be strong babies so they can face the big wide world
