Wow. Your have a really extensive succulent collection! They are beautiful. I love that you were able to include plants from your wife's wedding bouquet in your garden. Your planter turned out very nice. Thanks for sharing!!
Cool, thanks, Eric. Isn't it fun collecting succulents? Cant remember if I already mentioned it in the video: the pinecone cactus is one of my favorites as well. If you're in the Los Angeles area, I found it at "San Gabriel Nursery & Florist."
I love your section of succulents and your new pot arrangement, they are quite lovely. Succulents are one of my favorite plants but I find them extremely hard to grow except for the jade plant.
Thanks, Diana :) Aint it a neat plant? Before I learned of its common name, it looked like a pin cushion to me. With a leathery look, I can see why they call it a baseball plant.
Hi. Just discovered your channel. Nice collection of succulents and so true about plants having some sort of living sentimental value. Going to check out your other videos...
You have a very nice collection I been obsessed wit collecting succulents as well. Have you considered applying top soil dressing to make it even nicer but nevertheless your plants look awesome hoping to see more of your succulents.
(odd, this evening YT shows that there is no reply to your comment) Thanks. Isnt collecting them fun? Agreed, top dressing makes things look more refined.
I love to go tour succulent garden in Korea :-) good go know your channel and Love your channel so subscribed your channel! :-) Plus thumbs up! :-) Gorgeous and Awesome! Cheers from Korea :-)💖
Euphorbia tirucalli is a medicinal plant here in Brazil!, the sap is caustic, but here some people use 1 ~ 2 drops per liter to treat some cancer types, here we call "Avelós". I have one but mine is a "yellow stick".
You have a very pretty garden. Great growth on them. The only thing I would like to see you do is Top dress. The bare dirt takes away from the beauty if your plants. See Laura Eubanks videos she loves to topdress everything she does. Tks for sharing .
Thanks! Thanks also for the advice. I am always in conflict between topping dressing or not. I want the nice looks of top dressing but also the "au naturel" look, lol. The yearn to top dress is getting stronger ;D Thanks for sharing Laura Eubank's channel. She has an amazing eye. Goals!!
Never Enough Dirt. I buy the big bags of gravel at Lowes..I think its called Sunset creek gravel..it has some really pretty stones mixed in and would keep the natural look and help to keep that hard soil from drying out. Do love the plants great collection.🌼😊
at 4:45 is a Haworthia. :) the sedums at the beginning are actually Aeonium "Kiwi" and the white ones are Graptopetalum paraguayense. The tiny green one is Crassula perforata "Tom Thumb"
Thank you, Hailey. The name ranges. I am scratching my head over the number of names it goes by: that is a chandelier plant aka Mother of Millions / Bryophyllum tubiflora / Kalanchoe tubiflora (As a plant, it is a very prolific spreader. The little "ruffles" drop and become plants. They are pretty easy to manage / groom though).
I have four individual zebra plants I have noticed they do not like sharing the same soil with other plants and they love to be kept in the dark so I keep them seprate and under a lil space away from any kind of light they are growing fast and very green (:
I'm new to succulents, I am trying to propagate a few leaves I got from a friend. I know it isn't the right time. A few have dried out already, do you have a tip to keep the others alive? Thanks
Hello, mardel3. Very nice that you're getting into growing succulents. They are so much fun. To propagate new plants from the leaves, set them on top moist soil. Eventually the roots will poke out. Some are easier than others so keep trying!
Never Enough Dirt as what i have seen the problem is that your soil is a muddy type so i suggest mix ix with some beach gravels and bark chips or if you have the budget try to change your soil that is suited for succulent...may i ask are you a Filipino cause that soil on your plant box is the type of soil i usually see here at the philippines
Never Enough Dirt I'm very new to succulents but I agree that your soil looks very dense. Even if you work in some sand it couldnt hurt. I would re do maybe 4 feet of the planter at a time. I think you will see a huge growth spurt. You did a nice job on the new planter!!
Thanks for checking out this video, oldladytoofast. Thanks about the new planter :) Good suggestion; and, yes, drainage is key. It is hard to tell-- the previous home owner made all the dirt touching the house pretty loose with sand in it. Maybe it could use more. *shrugs* My water is pretty hard and many of the plants have calcium residue on their leaves-- making them look not as vibrant. I have to be better at not spraying the leaves. I have noticed that many of the plants need to be shuffled around. As they are getting sunburned. Succulents are wonderful plants. I bet you're having a good time finding and collecting them. What's your favorite thus far? --brian
Never Enough Dirt so far I love any rosette. Doesn't matter if it's a echeveria or sempervivum or haworthia. I also love purslane and portulaca for hanging baskets for their constant blooms! I have really enjoyed your videos.
Rosettes are such an interesting category. I am presently drawn to the rainbow colored ones. Purslane is a wondeful one too-- can be consumed for omega-3. All these years seeing portulaca in landscaping and public places, it only recently registered on me that they are succulents as well.
Hi, bruce. You're correct about the medium being predominantly clay. The planter is also underneath the eaves so it does not get water unless I water it. There is not an issue with excessive water and root rot. The plants are happy here. The only adjustment I've had to make is moving some that are sensitive to too much direct sun. --brian
I've had cacti problems where too much water and/or not enough sun, and I use store bough cactus mix or supplement whatever's available with sand. I'm guessing you're located close to the new Costco in MPK ? I'm testing the 'scanner' between my ears 😎
The short answer is , yes. There is a short window between now and new years that I will be able to do that. Please send me a direct message or an email to brian@neverenoughdirt.com. For postage, the USPS priority flat rate boxes will be most convenient for me. Just the other day I was working on the front yard-- dug up all the daylily to separate and replant. I always have many to give away and usual do to friends who are able to stop by to pick them up. I was trying to decide if I would have time to organize a give away to the awesome viewers that are on this channel (if people covered postage). I thought of you and perhaps you would want daylily in addition to dragon fruit.
Never Enough Dirt Absolutely.I would love some daylilies I will email you and work everything out. I will stop by the post office today and pick up the boxes.
The one you called a pickle against the wall is an ocotillo. www.cactus-art.biz/schede/ALLUAUDIA/Alluaudia_procera/Alluaudia_procera/Alluaudia_procera.htm. I like these because the get really tall. How often do you water?
10:19 Now that you mention it, it does look like ocotillo from afar. An earlier viewer helped identify it as Stapelia. I think a few days later, I was surprised with a bloom. Speaking of ocotillo, beautiful plant. I've been meaning to add one to the family. I water on average three times a month. But generally, less in the winter and more in the summer months.
Never Enough Dirt thank you so much if you havetime，could you please send that to me my address is 26 Hinchinbrook AVE Fitzgibbon QLD Australia 4018 Thanks again Hong
I think the plant with the long branches near the sticks on fire is a form of crassula....... succulent-plant.com/families/crassulaceae/crassula/p1010548.jpg

Thank you, this sentimental bloke appreciates your nice comment. :)
Such a lovely succulent collection! Thanks for the tour!
Thank you. It is my pleasure.
Thanks for adding the correct names of the plants, very useful for research. Awesome vid. I love succulents too.
You're welcome. Succulents are so much fun. Happy collecting ;D
Yeah same here. That baseball plant is amazing. I have never seen one.
You have very beautiful succulents, good job putting them together 🌿
Much appreciated, Julia. Thank you for your nice comment :)
Enjoyed the tour... quite an impressive succulent collection. The pinecone cactus was a personal favorite. I'll need to keep an eye out for one.
Cool, thanks, Eric. Isn't it fun collecting succulents? Cant remember if I already mentioned it in the video: the pinecone cactus is one of my favorites as well. If you're in the Los Angeles area, I found it at "San Gabriel Nursery & Florist."
You have lovely plants, very sad that some has died. Some part of your garden looks like a cemetery. Thanks for sharing
Thanks.
What a lovely gift Blessings 💫
:D
Really pretty succulent garden! And you so pretty arrangements too 😊
Thanks much :)
I love your section of succulents and your new pot arrangement, they are quite lovely. Succulents are one of my favorite plants but I find them extremely hard to grow except for the jade plant.
Thank you, Mae. Succulents can be pretty tolerant and surprisingly pretty sensitive. That jade plant is pretty darn tough.
first baseball plant I've seen, so unusual...your arrangement looked great
Thanks, Diana :) Aint it a neat plant? Before I learned of its common name, it looked like a pin cushion to me. With a leathery look, I can see why they call it a baseball plant.
Good video. Beautiful succulents.
Thank you, Gerald.
What a beautiful succulent garden and arrangement. I have liked and subscribed to your Channel. Keep up the great work 👍 👍.
Thank you, Ruthie. Great to have you on the channel. You remind me that I should feature more succulents on this channel :D

Greetings, Bruno. It is always interesting to learn of the medicinal aspects of plants. Thanks for sharing.
Perfect t-shirt for the video

Thanks for checking this out, Erik. 4:45? It looks like a haworthia. Plant tags says, "aloe." Now you've got me curious.
Pretty arrangements, but as a succulent lover I will suggest select plants that's same family or require same care to do an arrangement
Thank you, Lily. Very good advice. I will keep that in mind in the future.
love your collection! it's beautiful!!! I was wondering, what is the plant at the end that is purple/green with dark spots?
Thank you, Hailey. The name ranges. I am scratching my head over the number of names it goes by: that is a chandelier plant aka Mother of Millions / Bryophyllum tubiflora / Kalanchoe tubiflora
(As a plant, it is a very prolific spreader. The little "ruffles" drop and become plants. They are pretty easy to manage / groom though).

I havent paid too much attention to the light responses of the zebra plants. Thanks for sharing, Rose. I'll keep that in mind.

Your planter looks to be very moist 🤔 ... and the soil appears heavy, dense or clay 🤔 ... how's that working with your cacti 🤔

Is there any shed ? or it is a open planter?
There is partial shade in this area, yup
I have a poor man's garden collection too, yea
I must say that is one of the best kinds ;D
That baseball plant is very rare you are very lucky. God bless
