Succulents Can Be Confusing - VLOG #392 - Growing Succulents With Lizk

Pretty in pink, but this is not pretty in pink, this is Bernalensi. So I'm just merely showing you guys how plants or these succulents can transform. And that one there, is that a Bernalensi as well? This one here, which is, this is a Purple Delight, and that's a Bernalensi, and that's also a Purple Delight. Hello, pretty in pink. This is my Graptoveria, pretty in pink, that actually died last year, and from the frost that we had last year, that's 2025. And then this year, it's sort of slowly recovered, but I didn't really pay much attention to it because there's nothing I can do about it. But some of the leaves that has fallen off, you can see, has grown in here. There you go. So there's one little baby, pretty in pink, and right now, it's not very, very pretty because it's sort of in a shaded area, but this one looks very pretty. So hello, my pretty in pink, and this one actually, oh my goodness, I've actually taken this as a cutting from the other pot there, and I put it here to try and callus it off. But it's been since a long time now, since I actually cut this off, and I forgot to stick it in the soil. So now, needs to be stuck in the soil, stuck on you, I was about to say. Now, this one now, oh, so gorgeous, I might as well cut it off because there's another one growing here, but that's not going to grow. And by the way, my finger here got stuck on this Euphobia here, and it's stinging. So anyway, just this little thorn here, but look how big this is. When I started, it wasn't very big at all, it was only a couple, and hang on, I don't even know, I really need to repot this. Anyway, we're on pretty in pink here, so this one as well is all long and gangly, so we're going to go chop, chop, chop. Oh, they are so pretty, innit? And that one too. I'm sorry, but nothing's going to happen while you're there, so you're not going to move up into the world, so I am going to take all this pretty in pink. Oh, they're so pretty. Okay, so there's still a couple growing there, I'm going to leave that there, so tiny ones. And that one, I don't know, I have no hope for that one, I don't think it's going to grow, but this one, I will put you in a pretty, pretty pot, so it's like starting over again. It was nasty, look, snails and slug. Every night I'll come out here and try and kill the snail and the slug, but they just keep at it. I thought, oh, they'll be all gone now, and this is like, I think, a whole week straight that I've been out here killing them, hang on, I just got distracted with this petrified wood here, but anywho, now hopefully they will recover, there's new ones growing there, poor things, oh my goodness. It is now starting to warm up here in Canberra, so we've been having beautiful days the last few days here, and I noticed that this onslaught is becoming paler. Is it just my imagination, or is it actually really getting paler? And that one there is pale, but speaking of pale, this is my onslaught, variegated. There's very slight variegation, and it's a small plant, and it's been cooked up here, hang on, look, I'm gonna put you here, I just wanna see, oh, sorry, not variegation, monstros, and I paid $18 for it, as to when, long time ago, at least, it'll be at least four years since I've acquired this plant, so since I got it, I only ever took two babies that were sort of growing wildly, and then I took it off, but this one actually, oh, look what I found, we got a snail, look, that nasty snail is just living off here, and that's why it's been eating my potty laden that I propagated, I have to move it away from this area to that area where it is now, so it was actually behind the onslaught before, and then this snail is responsible for it, so I'm sorry snail, you're dead. The onslaught that I propagated are these two here, so let's compare the monstros, oh, so now you can see the variegation on this one, so it's monstros and variegated as well, so on the right side there, there's slight variegation, and this one you can see the monstrosity on the leaves, so those little bumpity bump, and so here, I think it's time to propagate again, so maybe I'm going to cut the top off of that onslaught as well and propagate it, and speaking of propagating monstros once, this is my Sarahimi Boton Lilacina, monstros, and from this plant, I have already grown so many little baby monstros once, which actually doesn't look monstros, and here it is, so these are grown from seeds, from this mummy plant, and look how beautiful they are, and they look like pretty and pink, don't they? Hey, don't you agree? See, look at that, so let's go compare these side by side, sometimes I don't even know what I'm thinking, because instead of taking this pole, I took the mountain to Mohammed, I could have just taken Mohammed to the mountain, excuse me, I'm going to redo this, let's go back here again, oh my goodness, oh my goodness, ah, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, okay, there you go, here comes Mohammed, taken to the mountain, see, doesn't that look like the same plant? Look at that, hey? And this is why some people say, oh, they all look the same, because they do, look, look very similar, this one is an older plant, but that one is only babies, but still very, very similar, so to think that these ones came from this plant, you would not believe it, but if I grew this one from a leaf, I wonder what it would look like, this is what it looks like, okay, I'll put it here, so, Lilacina sarahimi buton, and sarahimi buton is very, very pink, very, very pretty, so which is where the pinkness of this monstrous form, Lilacina sarahimi buton, came from, now, this one is grown in the shade, so I've got things above it, see, look, you can't even see, hello, it's down here, look there, so now, this one is grown from a leaf, and I can see some little red things, hang on, what is this one? This is from a lovely rose, okay, I'll put that one there, and hang on, I'm seeing panda face, panda face, I love you, but this is not panda face, this is pacipitum bractiosum, fatness at the back there, now, this one is, look, Lilacina sarahimi buton, monstrous, the 31st of the 7, 2023 is when I took the leaves from this mummy plant, and grew it, look at it, so I've got two plants from it, so I think I only got one leaf that was successful, and then that one is a side shoot already, so I need to remove this, and plant it again, so maybe, I think, I grew this one from a leaf, and then I took a leaf, and then put that one there on the side, and grew another baby from that, so that is the sarahimi buton, that little beautiful pink thing in there, in between the Lilacina sarahimi buton, monstrous, you see the difference of the color, wish all of them would look like that, isn't that beautiful, and that is the last of my sarahimi buton, my pretty in pink that I cleaned up, and given some fertilizer, is now looking very pretty, so this one is flowering, I'm going to leave it, because I want to harvest the leaves from this pretty in pink, and this pretty in pink has showing really strong variegation, isn't that beautiful, and also, I'm going to put this back where it came from, from the top, next to the moon godness, which I think is also an ester, because that's the ester there, and that's the moon godness there, so I think they're very very similar, but anywho, I've got another pretty in pink here, I can't remember now who's the mummy, and who's the babies, but this one is also flowering, but this is also, look the two babies there, so another baby there, it's just a beautiful beautiful beautiful plant, anyway, so the pretty in pink, normal, and the pretty in pink variegated, that's what happens, so when the normal one variegates, this is what it looks like, now this is now a different story, this bernalensi variegata, look how gorgeous that is, so to think this is my baby plant, and my mummy plant has been butchered, I've already actually chopped it off, it's not here anymore, so it's growing inside under the grow light, and of course, I cut off the mother plant, which is now bare, and I took some, well there's only a few of the babies that are growing, and planted it here, look how beautiful it is now, so I could still say that these are, some of it, half of it, are the original head of my bernalensi variegated, which I got eight years ago, basically, so can you believe that, so now look, I wrote original, so orig, so now look how pretty in this pot, that has got holes in it, can you see the holes, so this is actually a pot, pre-pot, look how very pretty, pretty pot, oh my goodness, gorgeous now they are, so now they can sit here and grow out, and I can say that that is now my original bernalensi plant, unless my original one grows again, and speaking of original and variegated plants, the variegated form of bernalensi, that I've taken some leaves and tried to grow them, hoping I'd get some variegated ones, have now grown into this compact, beautiful, fat form of bernalensi, look how gorgeous this is, okay, so that one is stuck, stuck, they're all stuck, so this one is, yep, growing there, they're all growing there, but they are beautiful, look at that, hello beautiful, look how gorgeous they are, so I've been stressing this out to hopefully grow some pretty, pretty pink ones again, so she can be pretty and pink, but this is not pretty and pink, this is bernalensi, so I'm just merely showing you guys how plants or these succulents can transform, okay, there's another leaf that fell down, and that's going to grow into another plant, but see how the differences and similarities, and that one there, is that a bernalensi as well, this one here, that's a nice and fat, I don't know, I'm not sure now whether that's a purple delight, which is, this is a purple delight, and that's a bernalensi, and that's also a purple delight, and so us, oh look at that one, that one, is that a purple delight as well, yes it is, because that purple delight came from the most delicious purple delight here, which is grown from a variegated, so I took a cutting of the variegated purple delight, and grew it, of course I chop it off, and then I actually got some leaves from it, and grew some leaves, and when I grew the leaves, it is not variegated anymore, it's just ordinary, so look at this one, oh look at that, so I lost my variegated head of purple delight, now this one is a different one, that is ghosty, so my ghosty top is over here hiding amongst, can you see that little one right in the center there, that is the last, or the head of my variegated ghost, or graptopetalum paraguayensi, subspecies paraguayensi, so or ghost plant, and now it's struggling of course, but I put it in a richer soil, so hopefully it doesn't revert back to normal, even though it's not variegated anymore, I just hope it will grow more compact, rather than grow leggy like the normal habit of a purple delight, but see it's beautiful isn't it, gorgeous, and this is the purple delight that is left, I think that one is already a baby as well, that I chopped off, and the original plant is this one, so from that stem, I grew that one, and from the rest of the gang, is growing non-variegated one, which I will take off again, and plant it somewhere else again, and hoping that it will re-variegate, but seems like it doesn't, but still nevertheless, it is still beautiful, this is my Echeveria jewel, once upon a time, there was one big mama in the center of this jewel, so that's the name that was given to this plant, when I got it from Jocelyn Ainsworth, this is a long time ago, when I bought this plant, but then now, having been growing in this pot here, it looks like this jewel has turned variegated, look, or really they just stress, but they're so pretty, look at the color, oh my goodness, look at that, gorgeous, it looks more like a lola isn't it, but then I remember once upon a time, it's huge, hopefully I can find that footage, but anyway, so now this is covered with many many weeds, so I need to repot this, and put it into new soil, thank you so much for watching guys, and I hope you enjoyed this video, and as I continue removing all the flower stalks on my succulents, I will bid you adieu, adieu, adieu, adieu, sandy mix, oh, so this whole pot here is a sandy mix, and all these plants here are growing beautifully on a sandy soil mix, uh-huh, but I think this albingeri here is not growing very well, I might need to remove that, and put it in a proper soil mix
