I would like to apologize for the mispronunciation of the word “Succulents” it should be “Suh-kyu-lents” and not “suh-ka-lents”. If I mispronounced other words, I’m really sorry. I will be correcting this on the upcoming videos. In addition, I’ll try to buy some noise reduction microphone, so I can record during daytime and not late at night. This will give me enough time and energy to thoroughly review the recordings before uploading the video.

Expect in the upcoming videos that I’ll continue to improve my videos in order to provide quality, and concise contents. I’m open for all the suggestions and constructive criticism. Again, I’m really grateful to your continuous support to my Channel. Maraming salamat! 🙂

This substrate works for me in a semi-arid climate

I love asterias, my favourite cactus. Looks like a nice mix for them but probably wouldn’t work well for me in my climate. Maraming salamat po for sharing with us, I’ve subbed 😊👍🏻🌵☀️🌼

Hi Kim, big help for Astro enthusiast like me, following your videos :)

Dear Prince last 3 months I lost a few big Astrophytums with almost similar problem. Very sad yet don't know what was the reason. Hope to hear your input.
Condition: turn brown, soft from bottom. 2 of them cracked at the spine. One didn't. I stay in KL and in condominium. These astrophytum were expose to sun just behind the window. Hope to hear from u. Big thanks

Hello Sir Kim...thanks a lot for the tips😍

[TrenT]

hello, I would remove perlite from your mixture as it breaks down over time and vermiculite is too moisture-absorbing...thanks for the video

[jhoyzaguerra]

Very informative! This will help me a lot 🥰
