Absolutely mesmerizing collection! Each plant seems to tell its own story through its unique colors, textures, and shapes. What a stunning display of nature's artistry! 🌿✨
hooray!!! so happy to see you today and glad you had such a nice time up at your ranch.. everything looks great and Bentley is as handsome as ever...from my experience, 5 year old gardeners are some of the best helpers (with a little guidance, ha)... have fun with that because teenagers? not interested as much in the work part, haha (they like the plants tho)... can't wait to see what' s coming up on your schedule... 11/23/2021 was your visit here, and everything is looking fantastic! still loving it, too 🥰🥰
So lovely to have you back, I love walkabout Wednesdays with you in your gorgeous garden! Bentley is so darn cute, and I noticed all the ghostly crests wow! It’s all looking so beautiful especially after being away 🌵
Always love the tours of your gorgeous garden! I’m glad you and Greg had a lovely break at the ranch-you work so hard! We, your adoring fans, do miss your fabulous videos, though! Thanks so much for bringing us along!
We know you have a business and a life... the videos are just a bonus that we get to enjoy! Thanks for sharing your garden with us yet again. Things are looking great. (I always have major size envy when I see your garden. My indoor collection is so teeny tiny, struggling just to exist under grow lights in a hostile environment.)
Great video! Maybe if you plant the grapefruit in the ground, it will start to grow. it could be stunted in the container. I like to see which plants have grown, the puffer fish is completely covered! That’s how you know your garden has grown 😊
6:45 anyone wanting to make Euphorbia cuttings without roots, it is more or less possible if you pay attention… whether it’s that E. polygona ‘Snowflake’, or E. milii, tirucalli, trigona, leucendron, lambii, etc. Even _Synandenium grantii_ or poinsettias count. And it is totally possible to propagate, but you have to make sure the cuttings callous-over first. Keep them relatively dry for up to a week, even two weeks they’ll be fine. No longer than that I’d say. Minimum of three days. Then plant them in a SOILLESS medium! That’s vital to the rooting process. Yes, they’ll theoretically root in dirt, but it’s far more likely they’ll rot at some point. Too many variables involved, such as less airflow, in soil. Unless you make sure to add significant amounts of drainage and inert rocky stuff to it. But for propagation I use a blend of inert materials, like perlite, sand, small lava rocks, pumice, zeolite, maybe some vermiculite, even some activated carbon pieces to deodorize the substrate in case of anaerobic activity. That’s one option. Another proven method for Euphorb cuttings is simply dried sphagnum moss. Pack it in with a good amount, dense enough to replicate soil… but the good thing about sphagnum is it’s more aerated. You can mist the cutting every other day or every couple of days, and it won’t rot as it would in soil. 80% of the time. Lol.
The garden looks Amazing. A tip for citrus, they have roots close to the surface and don’t like competition. But that doesn’t mean you should take the ghosties out it just means the grapefruit might be a little unhappy because of it. Cheers 🇦🇺 Bronwyn
Welcome back!! Hope you and family had a great Thanksgiving. The garden looks like it’s living its best life. So amazed at how everything’s grown. Looking forward to new adventures next week!!
So funny I was waiting to see Bentley drink from the fountain and he didn't disappoint lol. On a more serious note, i am a collector and I have health problems. I need to think about who will get my plants if i don't make it thru these hard times. I don't have family who would care for them the way i want. I have thoughts of donating but i would really love to leave them to an individual who will cherish them like i do. Any ideas, suggestions, are welcome. Ive downsized a lotbut i still have at least a hundred...tropicals too.
My mission to mars was flat and huge. It has recently pushed out a bloom that is enormous. It’s about 3 or 4 metres tall. And all its babies are blooming too. I will try to pull it out when it’s done as it is taking up so much space. Anyways, your garden is looking lush. Welcome back to UA-cam, it’s been a while. 🎄
It’s interesting, seeing your crested Graptos, I’ve been seeing a plethora of ghost plant crests this year. In my own collection, I’ve had four or five show up, two of which were absolutely giant, dense, and packed tightly with leaves. Not a rosette visible. It looks like some sort of club or weapon! Haha. Almost didn’t know if it was a crest or not. The others were more classic, fan-shaped, bare crests with individual rosettes lining the top…plus, here in Coronado, a lot of the neighbors & businesses with the same ghosties are developing huge crests. It’s like a species-wide thing this year. They weren’t disturbed or cut that I can tell. I wonder if it’s anything to do with water, rainfall, weather, or climate, etc.
ever since you made that hater comment i have not watched your videos now you have seen a lot of hate on the news and i wonder if you still call every negative comment hate like a child
I don’t know what hater comment you are talking about. I don’t think there’s a mean bone in Laura’s body. Are you referring to her not liking trees that drop a lot of leaves? That’s pretty much the only negativity I hear. That and grass.

I hope you had a nice time and relaxing as well while you were away. Nice to have you back. We have missed you ❤

So lovely to have you back, I love walkabout Wednesdays with you in your gorgeous garden! Bentley is so darn cute, and I noticed all the ghostly crests wow!
It’s all looking so beautiful especially after being away 🌵
It never donned on me to trim the lethal agave spikes. Game changer!! Thanks Laura!!
I'm envious! But I always enjoy your videos and they're a good inspiration for me.
Great that you had the time for yourselves. It is important to take care of you. Missed your videos.
Always love the tours of your gorgeous garden! I’m glad you and Greg had a lovely break at the ranch-you work so hard! We, your adoring fans, do miss your fabulous videos, though! Thanks so much for bringing us along!

So good you're back! Love love your close ups!

Contact your local horticultural society maybe?
Cactus and succulent society?
💕💕
❤️
We have local plant swaps that take donations in norcal. Perhaps a local nursery?
Maybe San Diego Cactus and Succulents Society if you live in San Diego?
Missed you!
Holy mother of pearl your plants look incredible! After how many weeks away? Succulents and cacti gardens rule.
Nice to have you back................missed you on the TUBE !

Hermosa colección 😍👍🌹
Jardim maravilhoso é de encher os olhos 💞 saudações do 🇧🇷 Brasil
You have a beautiful yard I wish I could do this in South Carolina but it gets to cold and you’re aloe’s and uforbias are beautiful I collect as well
Your doggie is sooooo cute!!!
We missed you 😊
very nice

The variegated milii used to be stunning in chula vista, why do you think it’s so sad now? Too much sun?
Weird and wonderful thing looks like a Bursera! (fagaroides?)
🌸
I'd say that Mangave is more likely 'Aztec King'; I have both it and 'Mission to Mars', and 'MTM' is way more red colored than 'AK'.
I love your sand box…where do you get your sand?
Great video. Are most of these succulents in full sun for most of the day?
🌵🥰
Can you show us your front yard please!
🙋
i needd gutters
Is that a dwarf lemon tree?
No, your super gorgeous mangave is not Mission to Mars (because that is the red one)! Maybe it’s Aztec King…
Aww no videos from the ranch …
You’re a bit rusty… you need to start with Bentley drinking from the ⛲️ fountain. 😋
Cuidado ispinho 🤭
I doubt propagating them in water, many of succulents died when I tried
ever since you made that hater comment i have not watched your videos now you have seen a lot of hate on the news and i wonder if you still call every negative comment hate like a child
No need to watch if you feel negatively. Love to you Laura.
I don’t know what hater comment you are talking about. I don’t think there’s a mean bone in Laura’s body. Are you referring to her not liking trees that drop a lot of leaves? That’s pretty much the only negativity I hear. That and grass.
@@user-vy6fk3rh6zI agree!
Such a strange comment to make. Laura we love you!
Welcome back. Lovely tour of the garden . Thankyou from Australia 🌵🦋🌸☀️
Welcome back! Missed your videos ❤
