Wellll...shoot....
Why do I always watch videos about something *after* I've done it??
Trial and error? Lol.
I was just saying the same lol hope they don’t die I’d be so sad 😞
Me too!! I'm a newbie succulent lover and I watch so many videos. It is very confusing because so many say to do different things. But she is obviously great at caring for them. I will be taking her lessons to heart!
Hehehe I was thinking the same ❤🌬🌌🙀 live and learn
It’s nice to see some interaction here. Thank you so much for the comments, Everyone! Huge apologies for the very late response. Wishing you the greatest of health, the biggest of blessings and the purest of love! ❤️💰
I’ve been into reptiles a lot and recently bought a bearded dragon! But I’ve been into succulents a lot and I’m planning on buying one soon! Doing as much research as possible
Wow! A bearded dragon! 😁 That’s very interesting! 👍 You are so on the right track with doing research. That’s what I did when I was starting. It helps a lot for zero casualty.😃 It’s a really fun hobby. As they say, “it’s cheaper than therapy”, which is so true. Happy Planting, Diana. I’m excited to hear about your first purchase. 🤩 Thank you so much for leaving a comment. It’s really nice to hear what people have to say. I really appreciate it. 🙏🌈
Very helpful video, thank you. This answered all the questions I had. I'm in South Wales, UK. I repotted all my succulents yesterday in John Innes Number 1 compost. The compost was slightly damp and my instinct was not to water. All the succulents were potted in garden soil before, outdoors and struggling. I have a small conservatory so I've put them in there now. I was careful not to compact the new compost too much. Fingers crossed! Thank you again. Great saying that too
Hi John! UK is one of the best places to grow succulents. You guys out there barely need to water your succulents. They are also not likely to suffer sunburn out there. You were on the right track not to water them after replanting. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries. I can’t believe I’m 1 year behind now. 😔😅 Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I stumble at your channel , I want to start planting and collecting succulents and you explained alot of things about succulent soo soo informative specially for me who are newbies with planting succulents ,This is the first time i see that stone kind succulent blooms flowers ,,gbu
Hi! Welcome to the world of Succulents. This hobby is so much fun. I’m so glad you decided to get into it. Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it! Blessings to you! Happy Planting! ❤️☺️🌈
My niece was staying with me last summer. I told her I wanted some car us. She picked out some healthy ones. Those are doing fine. I went to my grocery and they had different succulents that were mistreated. I bought all I could carry. I bought all them home, repotted them and do. I realize I did everythin wrong after watching your video.but I did wAter them because they had been neglected. I realize now
They are doing okay. I am happy to have found your video. I hope pI do a lot better now and I can return and watch your video again.
Hi Janice! I hope all of your succulents are healthy! Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries. I can’t believe I’m 1 year behind now. 😔😅 Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Thanks for all of the great information. That Stone bloom is magnificent. I might need to add some of those to my inventory. 👍👍👍
By the way you have some of the best potting tools. I love that lil shovel with pointed tip you were using.
Yes, they are super handy. I love these tools a lot. Makes gardening and repotting so much easier. Thanks again, Ruthie! 😀
This video was so helpful! And I loved the inspirational message too. Thanks for sharing your experience with us!
Hi there! Thank you so much for this comment! I really appreciate it! I’m so glad you liked the inspirational message. ❤️☺️🌈
Thanks. Your information was very good and I learned some new things that will help me with the many succulents I have. Sent
You’re welcome! I’m so glad to hear that you also have a big collection. Thank you so much for leaving a message! I really appreciate it. More blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈
Wonderful video. You are a great teacher.
Thank you so much, Patricia! I really appreciate your comment. Wishing you love, health and blessings always! ❤️🙏💫
Thank you for advice
Thank you again! 😊
beautiful! thank you!
You’re welcome, Tian! So true, Thomas! I’m so glad you have found a way to make sense of how frequent watering doesn’t always equate to loving them. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments. I’m about two to three months behind right now. 😔😅 Thank you so much again for the comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Your videos are always so good. The information is excellent and laid out in an easy way to digest and utilise.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for the kind comment! My apologies for the late reply. 😅I have just started responding to the rest of the comments again. I’ve been so busy. I think I may have found a way to start making videos again. 🤞So, we’ll see! 😊Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️
Love it
Thank you so much, Austin! Every comment is precious to me. ❤️☺️🌈
Secculents looks cute when tiny. How to keep them small?
Yes, they are super cute. They will always find a way to grow. There is no stopping them. 😃 They grow lovely anyway. Thank you for this comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈
I just purchased that same type of split rock.. I have been doing research on them and some say to plant in gritty mix.. could you tell me what are your thoughts about that? Thanks love your videos ❤️
Hi! Gritty mix is okay, just make sure that it gets really soaked when it’s time to water. They can be too fast draining that it takes time for it to soak up enough water. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries. I can’t believe I’m 1 year behind now. 😔😅 Thank you so much for the inquiry and for your patience. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
what is the frequency to water succulents please? Initially, i observed that leaves tend to rot in presence of water. I always thought succulents need extremely little watering. thank you
You are so right, Parinita! 😀 They can't stand being wet all the time. The best time to water is when the soil is completely dry. You have to make sure that the soil AROUND the roots is dry before watering again. It is not enough to just check the top soil or the bottom of the pot, especially if the pot is big. How fast the soil would dry depends on the temperature, air circulation, humidity and precipitation in your location. 😀 My apologies for being too detailed in my response. 😅😆 I just have to make sure that all the information is available to my viewers. Please also check this video: ua-cam.com/video/rykY1RSzTQk/v-deo.html on how and when to water succulents. 😀 Sorry for the long response again. 😆 Thank you for leaving this comment. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. Kind regards and all my love and blessings from Brentwood, California, USA! ❤🙏🌈
thanks a lot for your help. will try that :)
You are very welcome! 😃❤️🙏🌈
this video made me wanna go out and buy some new succ-babies asap! lol 🤍
Hi, Candace! hahaha That’s nice to hear! Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Huge apologies for the very late response. Wishing you love, blessings, health and happiness! ❤️🙏💫
That was so nice!!
Thank you, Vanessa! I really appreciate your comment! ❤️🙏🌈
Hi, what do you use at the base of your pot at 5:23?
Hello Jasmine, I placed a wire mesh so the soil wont fall through the base of the pot. It doesn’t keep all of the soil from falling through, but it does help. I just buy a piece of screen (the ones used on windows) and cut them in small pieces. Thank you for the question! My apologies for the late reply. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Whats the mixing of your soil?
Hi Emmuel, I have a link to how I mix my soil. How to Customize Your Succulent and Cactus Soil (Succulents Differ)
ua-cam.com/video/08AK2t929T8/v-deo.html Nowadays, I just use whatever soil I can grab and they thrive, too. Watch till the end of the video where I showed planting my succulents in regular soil. They did very well, too! Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries. I can’t believe I’m 1 year behind now. 😔😅 Thank you so much for the inquiry and for your patience. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Where did you get the tool that poked the holes and poured the soil? Please and thanks!
Hi Lauren, it’s listed down below this video in the description. It’s the mini garden tool set. I’ve linked it there for your convenience. Thank you for asking this question. I really appreciate it. ❤️😊🌈
She’s probably right, Lauren. It might also be available on ebay. I’m sure it’s available on Amazon. Thank you.
Hello, what are the names of those succulents? Thanks
Hi, Camille! These are Lithops, Split Rocks, Moonstone Succulent, and Lapidaria Magaretae. Thank you so much for the inquiry. I really appreciate it. Huge apologies for the very late response. Wishing you love, blessings, health and happiness! ❤️🙏💫
suculents, can live with no direct sun on them.? they can live with wall reflected sun light but not direct light? i have a north west balcony .. and sun comes from left hand side on balcony right wall and bounce inwards.
Hello! 😃 Some succulents like that kind of light like some Haworthias. 😃Aloes are also great indoor plants, so they would love to stay in your balcony. Most rosette succulents would stretch out without enough light. It really depends on the kind of succulent that you have. What kind of succulents are they? 😃
crosolla argenta... aloes veras? what about echeverias ? stay in wall bounced afternoon sunlight? time sun comes is about 4 30 to 6 30 pm.. give me the list of suculents that can live in bounced afternoon sunlight... by the way its 4th floor and its can be windy too..
Jades are great indoors. Your crasulla argentea (a Jade) will do great with bounced light. They can live indoors. 😁 panda ears (Kalanchoe tomentosa) do great indoors too. Crassula arborescens ‘Curly’ would be great indoors too. I have an Aloe Vera that has been in my living room for over a year now and she is doing great. 😁Since your balcony can be too windy, top dressing can keep the soil from getting blown out of the pot. 🌪
Thank you so much for leaving your comment, too. I really appreciate it. ❤️🙏🌈
Did you prune the bloom one it finished blooming? I have one that is done.
Hi Ana, I didn’t. I normally would just allow the stalk to dry completely. 😃Once it is completely dry, I would try to pull it really, really gentIy, if there is even the slightest resistance, I would still wait a bit longer. 😁 I just really wait for them to be done with whatever it is that they are still busy doing. 🤓 One of my nerdy ways of trying not to interfere with nature, as much as I can...at least, when they are blooming. 🤣😆 Thank you for asking this question. Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. I’m more than happy to answer them. I really appreciate your comment. ❤️🙏🌈
can i repot small succulent into the bigger pot?
Hi Sabreena! Yes, you certainly can. 😃 In fact, they grow faster when they are given space to grow. 😃 Feel free to ask more questions. I’m more than happy to answer them. Thank you for asking this question. I really appreciate it. ❤️🙏🌈
that split rock made me smile,.. i have one that is starting to split, i didn't know that it will flower, now i have my eye on my split rock. thank you !
I’m so excited for you! It will be such an awesome experience. It’s exciting to know that the color of the flower could be yellow or another color like orange. It is such a gift to see them flower. Thank you so much for sharing your story with everyone. I really appreciate it! My apologies for the very late response. Wishing you more blessings! ❤️🙏💫
Split rocks are not Lithops so they don’t split the same way. They can split any time. You also water like normal succulents, when dry. There’s a good FB group with all sorts of great info, but they are def nit Lithops. Lithops are living stones.
"Energy Flows Where Energy Goes" Thats such an important message. So true! :) I tend to underwater my succulents and a small amount of leaf drop is soooo much better than over watering. When im too on top of my watering my succulents do worse than when I am more relaxed about it. Its always better to wait a day and see then chance and water too soon. :) Great Video. :)
Thank you for supporting my channel, Denise! I really appreciate every little comment. 😃❤️So long comments like your are bonuses. Sending love and luck your way! 💕💕💕😊
Try using a spray bottle when soil looks/feels dry for indoor succulents. That method works well for my north/east windows.
Love all tour vr

"Energy flows, where attention goes"
Thank You For Sharing Your Video Tutorial On Succlents,
"Energy flows where attention goes" Such an informative video! Excellent! Thank you for taking time to share with the internet. Very good information, :)
That is so sweet, John or John’s wife! (Sometimes it’s the wife who is using the account) 😁 You are very welcome, but I think I should be the one who is expressing gratitude. I really appreciate comments like these. 🙏🌈 Thank you so much for leaving this comment. It’s words like these that inspire me so much! ❤️🌈🙏
9:15 Love how you called it a baby mama 🤣
PS. Love that little shovel with the point at the other end. Very handy
Awww...thank you. I love cute tiny things and miniatures, that’s why I totally love little garden tools. I’m glad you liked it! Succulents and tiny tools is such an adorable combination. 😊Thank you so much for leaving this comment. I really appreciate it. Blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈
This is SO helpful, thank you! I have 6 succulents which I've kept happy for a year, I dont want to upset them by reporting wrongly!
Great job with keeping your succulents happy and healthy! I’m so happy that you are doing such an awesome work! Thank you for sharing your story! As long as they are happy, you’re all good! 😊 Thank you again! I really appreciate it! ❤️☺️🌈
"Energy flows where attention goes" is a great one but it's almost impossible to not pay attention to the bad things since they are showing themselves in front. Obstacles are not transparent.
Unfavorable situations will always be there. Like people, situations can never be perfect. 😃 We just need to divert our attentions to the things that we are still supposed to be thankful for. 🙏 ...little things like how lucky we are that we are still alive. When we start to focus on the small things that make us still feel a little fortunate, it multiplies...meaning we will receive more things that we can be grateful for. 😃 No matter how dire a situation is, you can still find something positive in it. I see unfavorable situations as an opportunity to show how what we got inside...like how tough we can be when the going gets rough. 🙏🌈
I just got my firsts ones. I just always loved the way they looked. Thanks for the good information
Congratulations on your first succulents! It is going to be such a nice journey. Welcome to the world of succulents! Thank you so much for leaving your message. It is such a privilege to be receiving these kinds of comment. More blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈
i've spent 5 years growing succulents and your video taught me everything i missed. Thank you
Hi! Thank you so much for this comment. It made all the work that I’ve put in this video so worthwhile. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments. I’m about two to three months behind right now. 😔😅 Thank you so much again for the comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫 Happy Holidays!
Wow-beautiful bloom! I don’t feel too terribly bad about repotting my succulents-you have way more! Thank you for the very informative video!
Thank you, Janie! 😃Yes, it’s a long way to go for me. I think I need about 50 pots more than what is shown on the video. 😁 Best of luck with repotting! It’s fun time for succulents ‘cause summer is almost over, which means succulents are gonna be happier! 😃 i love summer, as a person though hahaha 😃 Thanks again for leaving a comment! 🙏🌈
Succulent Fame yes, I love summertime too!☀️
Success in repotting rely on the information that I shared in this video. I hope this helps a lot in preventing deaths in most newly repotted succulents, especially the newly purchased ones. 😀
Hi ma would u wanna trade any
Hi Sharon, I guess it depends. 😁 Which one caught your fancy? I had to say it depends ‘cause I have so many varieties already.😃 In fact, I had to get rid of some unwanted ones. (Sickly ones that are prone to mealy bugs) I didn’t have any problem with mealy bugs in San Bruno, but here in Brentwood, it was quite a challenge. 😅🤣😆
I love the Split Rock Succulent...i will be adding them to my garden. Thank you
Split Rocks are super cute. I find it so adorable that their bloom opens and closes every day. Thank you for this comment. I really appreciate it. Blessings to you! ❤️☺️🌈
Beautiful bloom! You are teaching me so much. I’m new to succulents and I absolutely love them.
Hi Shannon, I’m so glad you liked it. Thank you so much for this nice comment. I really appreciate it! Blessings to you! 🙏🌈
I need your help. I've got some succulent plants that a neighbor had left on her porch when she moved and they're dying and I've got no clue as to help them
Hi! I hope they’re still alive. Space out watering intervals and when it’s time to water, please give them a good soaking. This is the key. They need to experience a good dry spell, but when it’s time for them to drink, their leaves need to plump up. Thank you so much for the message. I really appreciate. More blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈 My apologies for the very late response. 😅
I wish I could see a picture for you.
Do not overwater them. Go to the hardware store garden section and buy some fertilizer that says for cacti or succulents. I use Schultz’s Instant Cactus Plus liquid plant food. Add a droplet to one quart of water. Other brands are “Cactus Juice” or “Algoflash for cactus”.
your living stone is beautiful! But I think you are overwatering it! They should never have 3 sets of leaves like that. it means that too much water is in the soil so they're using that instead of what is in their leaves.
Thank you. 😃I haven’t watered it, since I bought it in July. She already had more when I bought her. 😃
Gotcha! She must just be a stubborn stone haha:) is definitely beautiful though. And water or not, it looks healthy and the flower was gorgeous! good luck:)
That’s so true! I read that too when I was doing my research on Split Rocks before my fist purchase...that they usually come with a pair of leaves. 😁 I knew she was very special that’s why I chose her, but I didn’t notice that she was splitting when I picked her. It was only when I got home that I saw a sign of split. ❤️❤️❤️ (was too excited to look at the details) 😆🧐 She is such a blessing. 🙏🌈 Thanks again for leaving a comment. It is so nice to hear what people have to say. 😃
Great tips! Thank you so much for sharing. I think I kind of been doing this because when ever I get a new succulent I'm too lazy to repot them, so I end up leaving them in their nursery containers for a while and just water them in their original home. I do keep them in the area that they will be living and eventually I end up repotting them. So I guess I'll continue to do this, haha ;)
lisett_WonderWoman hahaha That worked great then. 😃😆 This is especially true for Lithops and mesembs. Especially because most cactus soil mix are always damp. 😅 Thank you so much for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it. 😃💕🌈
Thanks for the tips," positivity grows where good energy flows." I love a good motivational quote. If you don't mind I'm going to quote you on that. Beautiful plants can't wait to try your tips with my collection.
Not at all! 😊 These quotes are free for all to share. I would love for more people and lives to be touched by these quotes. I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you for the nice comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings in 2020! ❤️🙏💫
It was a pleasure watching your video!! I not only learned a lot but was also inspired! Nice job!
Thank you so much, Giselle! I’m so happy to hear that! Thanks again! I really appreciate your comment! ❤️☺️🌈
What's the succulent at 2:43? I've got one just like it but I'm not sure what it's called! Thanks in advance ❤
maddy byers Hi Maddy, it’s the Pachyphytum oviferum or the ‘Moonstone’. 😃 I appreciate that you asked that question. 🙏🌈 Thank you so much.
I absolutely LOVE your channel! So much so that I subscribed and confidently started my own little succulent garden. VERRRRY little.
Where did you find all of your white little planters!? I love how sleek and minimalist it all looks.
Hi! Thank you so much for subscribing! I bought them from Amazon. I probably have a link in the description. Are you in the US? I’m getting rid of some of my white planters, ‘cause I’m transferring my succulents and using them in a bigger project, so I no longer need most of my white pots. I can sell them to you at more than half the price. How’s does that sound? Please send me a direct message on Instagram if you’re interested. I go by the same name. Thank you so much for asking. I really appreciate it. More blessings your way! ❤️🙏🌈
I recently got some succulents and I’ve been watching videos to learn how to take care of them. I noticed in your video you were loosening up the roots before putting them in the pot. I didn’t do that when I transferred my succulents from the nursery pot into the pot they are in now, will they be okay or do I need to take them out and loosen the ball of dirt/roots and put them back in?
Hi Sierra, it’s okay. You didn’t have to. I was actually just removing some of the older soil. It is not a requirement. I just try to remove as much of the old soil as I could ‘cause the little guy probably has already used up most of the nutrient in it, ‘cause they’ve been in there for quite a bit. Thank you for asking this question. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈
Is it cheesy that I got teary eyed watching the time lapse? Nature is so beautiful. 💕
Not at all, Molly! It’s such a good thing to hear that you appreciate nature this much. Happiness is learning to appreciate the simple things in life. These things are priceless. Thank you so much for the comment. I greatly appreciate it. More blessings to you! Stay healthy and happy always! 🙏❤️💫
I find your videos very informative especially for beginners like me. Thank you!!!!
I Love your words of wisdom as well...Keep it up!
Hi Cecille, thank you so much! I’m glad you find my videos informative. I’m also thankful that you love the positive words that I add in my videos. I really appreciate your comment. ❤️☺️🌈 Thanks again! ❤️
Gee, I love your passion for succulents. Truly inspiring!
Thank you, Catherine! I really appreciate your kind words. ❤️☺️🌈
Succulent FameHi Sheila. I have just subscribed. You inspire us not only with your skills in everything succulents but also inspire us with your inspiring words. God bless. 😍🌵🌷💐🌹
Thank you so much, Catherine, for subscribing and everything else! 🙏 I really appreciate the kind words. ❤️☺️🌈
Thank you for so much information. Your split rock is
very pretty; it knows how much you love it!
Hi Trevor, thank you so much as always! 😀 One silly question...are you Trevor or Trevor's wife? I have been refraining from addressing you by your first name, 'cause some wives would use their husband's account. 😀 Just making sure that I'm addressing you properly. You have been supporting my channel with your comments. The very least that I can do is address you properly. Thanks so much again! 😊
@@SucculentFame hi Sheila, you are so polite with what you asked me! I'm Trevor, it's me who is watching your videos; I love them 'cause you're always so bright and happy! Thanks 😃 🌵
Thank you so much again for all the support, Trevor! I really hope the happiness, positivity and enthusiasm rubs off on people all the time when they watch my videos. Have a wonderful weekend! 😁
Curious.. you’re using regular potting soil, but I thought succulents need well draining soil which I wouldn’t consider potting soil to be. To me potting soil is denser and heavy
Hi, KaylanMarie! I always use cactus soil mix in pots. The soil that I used here is a commercial cactus soil mix. In my “soil video” though, I planted my succulents in regular soil and they got really fat. They are still alive up to this day. It seems like when they are planted directly in the ground, they thrive in any kind of soil. Please check out that video, too. Thank you for asking this question. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈
Succulent Fame oh ok! Good to know. I just repoted a succulent from a nursery pot because I felt the potting soil was staying too wet. I’ll check out that video. Thank you!
You’re welcome, KaylanMarie! ❤️😃
Very nice, Sheila! I can’t believe how much your succulents had grown, and multiplied since you started your channel. 👍😊
Yes, that's so true, a little over a year and about 600 bucks worth of cuttings (maybe even more 😅) and a big move to another city that's totally way warmer than the San Francisco area and I have more succulents than I can handle. 😅 hahaha It has been the best journey ever. Learning everything is bitter sweet. And indeed, experience is the best teacher. Thank you so much for dropping by and leaving a comment. 😀😊
Succulent Fame : You’re welcome! And wow 600 bucks! ang laki non a! ... you have a great return on your investments, Happiness and experience, plus hardwork. Thank you for sharing your passion, and great tips.
Yeah...sumobra ang addiction...😅😆 it’s really so much fun kasi. 😊🤩❤️ Thanks sa support ha. Every comment helps talaga. I really appreciate it. What’s your first name? I saw someone sell soap on UA-cam. Ang lakas na ng order nya. Instagram is a great platform for taking orders. She makes the soap on youtube and takes orders through instagram. Are you here in the US or in Pnas? 😃

Your information helps me a lot. One mistake I did was after repot I immediately watered them. But currently Malaysia have crazy heat Wave that the pot drys out by 3rd day. I put them at shade area never direct sun. Everyday checking the plant water status 😂 Can I know what plant was at 12.08 ? Thank you 🙏
Hi Melissa, it’s the Pleiospilos nelii “Split Rock”. Were you asking for the name of the plant at the very last part of the video? My apologies. I might be getting confused. The video is 12:08 minutes long. Were you asking for the plant at 12:08? Thank you so much for your comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈
just wanna say a few words...i loooveee ur informative videos, i love ur channel and i love ur succulent collection..wish i could own so much variety..i do have about 20 succulents but want more but sadly hard to find so much variety in india and if u find somewhere they r very expensive 😢 so that's about it..sad story apart..keep posting ur lovely and informative videos..👍👍👍☺☺☺❤❤❤
Thank you so much for sharing this little story of yours, Neetu. I hope you’ll find more; maybe like swap with other growers in your country. Mailing would be less expensive that way. I hope this idea helps. I’m glad that you have 20. That’s a good start. 👍 Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate it! ❤️☺️🌈
Nice🙋🏼♀️👍👏👏😘
Thank you so much for leaving a comment! 🙏🌈
I just ordered lithops and split rock too!!! I'm so excited!!! 😊😊😊
Wow!!! I’m so excited for you!!! I love Lithops and Split Rocks! I haven’t watered mine since July. This is what keeps them alive. 😃 Promise! ❤️
Btw I DM u on IG too, thank you
I recently got into succulents and I
repotted some over the weekend and watered them straight after.
Tomorrow (its nighttime right now in Australia) I’ll repot all and some new ones into dry cactus mix I bought tonight.
Is this the right thing to do?
Thank you, I loved your video 😊
Hi! Are they in a thirsty state before you transplanted them? If they are not, I think it is risky to water them immediately after repottjng. They are quite different from regular plants. Succulent Cuttings can be placed in water within the same day, but for some reason, they are more likely to die when introduced to wet soil, unless they are in a thirsty state prior to repotting. My apologies that you might have to do it all over again, especially if it’s not too warm out there. It’s summer here in the US, going into fall. I think it’s the exact opposite out there. Thank you for asking your question. I really appreciate it. Blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈 My apologies, too for the very late response.
Hi! There has been white mold on my plants, I cut off the areas that are infected and was wondering if I should repot the soil. I’ve had these plants for about 4 months
Hi Sena, it is okay to leave them in the same soil, but if you feel like the soil has already been depleted of nutrients and if not changing out the soil will keep you worrying about your plant, it is best to use new soil. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries. I can’t believe I’m 9 months behind now. 😔😅 Thank you so much for the inquiry. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Great video, as usual!
I'm still a very new succulent Momma and your videos are so very helpful!
I was wondering, are you using the white pots as a temporary home for your succulents or as their long term planter?
Hi Shonda, I’m planning to keep them there as long as they fit. It will take about a year or a little over a year before they outgrow their pots. 😃 Feel free to ask as many questions as you want. I’m more than happy to help. I will also check their roots around the same time. ☝️👍😃
Oh, and thank you so much! 😁 I really appreciate the comment. 🙏🌈
Thanks for the very informative video!
I just bought my first bear paw plant 10days ago and it has 5 big leaves with 2 tiny ones still growing but i want to change it into a nicer pot. Is it a good time to repot now? Or should it wait for it to grow more?
It never hurts to wait until they’re bigger. 😊 I love bear paws. Thank you for the comment. My apologies for the late reply. 😅I have just started responding to all of comments again. I’ve been so busy. I think I found a way to start making videos again. 🤞So, we’ll see! 😊Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I have a question I have a question I've already been propagating my succulents for a year already the stems are really small how do I get the stems to get thick do I keep on repotting in bigger pots
Hi! As long as the pot is big enough, there’s no real need to keep repotting them. The stem will grow thicker and more sturdy as it grows older. It is always better for them to be in an already bigger pot so that you won’t have to keep repotting all the time. They grow and multiply really fast. 👍 Good question. Thank you so much for asking. I really appreciate it. More blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈
So good video! Congratulations
when repotting a dehydrated succulent on dry soil, are we supposed to wait for a callus or pot immediately? I believe u shouldnt let anything in an open callus so I'm just wondering
Hi! I would just really plant them regardless. They don’t seem to mind at all. I just postpone watering a bit. Thank you for leaving an inquiry. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I absolutely LOVE your channel. Thanks for posting!
This is the best video I've seen so far for a beginner. Thank you!
Hi, Sara! My huge, huge apologies that it took some time for me to respond. 😅 I was on vacation. 😊 Thank you for the comment. I really appreciate it. More blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈
Great video, thank you for sharing :)
CrazyCactusCollector You’re welcome and thank you so much for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it. 😃
Uuuuummmmm i found a millipede in a basket of succulents that i bought... what do i do??? Will it kill my succulents? 😭
They might. 😅 I used the word “might”, ‘cause most of the time, millipedes are scavengers. 😃 They eat decaying wood and decaying leaves. If they couldn’t find any, that’s when they start eating live plants. 😅
Succulent Fame lol then good thing it was on clearance only cost me 1$! 🤗 hahaha can i save them if i take them out and change the soil?
😁 Yes, that’s a good option. ‘Cause that millipede might have already laid some eggs in there, too. 😃 I’m scared of those creepy crawlies. 🤣😆 Thank you for leaving this comment, too. I really appreciate it. ❤️🙏🌈
Hi 👋🏼 Sheila! I absolutely had so much fun and learned so much from how you explained everything! Especially when you repot, think happy thoughts 💭 as they will be happy as well. 🤗😊. I love my babies! Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge!! I am a big fan now!
Hi, Rhonda! That’s nice to hear! Thank you so much again for all the nice comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. I really appreciate it. Huge apologies for responding too late. Wishing you love, blessings, health and happiness again and again! ❤️🙏💫
Is it ok to use some sand in regular potting soil
Hi Mickie, yes, it is. It makes regular soil more fast draining. Thank you so much for asking your question. I really appreciate it. Blessings to you! ❤️☺️🌈
Thanka for the video! I just bought a split rock that had already bloomed and has the stalk left. Should i cut that or just leave it to wither? I watered it the second day i got it. I was a little worried but i know they just sit there in the stores unattended and needy. Im just impatiently counting the days till i can repot it! I figure I'll give it a couple weeks to recover from moving, blooming, watering.
Hello! Congratulations on having flowers on your split rock. Just let the stalk wither. I normally just leave mine until it’s very withered. Withered and dried stalks are easier to pluck. There shouldn’t be any resistance at all. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
You are just so adorable! I was just so kindly gifted a succulent and I want to take good care of it. Can’t wait to watch more of your videos!
Hi there, Josie! My apologies for responding too late! I'm not sure how I didn't see the notification for this comment. I had to filter through my messages to find it. Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it! More blessings to you! ❤🙏🌈
Just got a tiny echeveria succulent, its in a 2" plastic nursery pot and just slips right out because its dry. I wanna put it in a terra cotta pot instead, so can i just pick it up out of the plastic pot and pop in it tje terra cotta while its dry? I thought itd be easier this way cuz i wouldn't be disturbing the roots in any way since it lifts out so easily.
I think, that’s okay, as long as it is not root bound! Thank you! I really appreciate your question. Wishing you more blessings! ❤️🙏💫
Hi! Can I buy cuttings from you? I live in Palmdale California fellow Pinay here! Do you have a website or email address! Thank you! 😘 update: I found your website, I’ll be buying soon!
Hi Anne Marie, nice to hear that you are Pinay and from California, too! I placed my shop on private mode right now. I’m not able to sell cuttings due too tight schedule, but thank you for considering to buy from my website. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy.

I watched this because I bought a split rock from a pet store, not from a nursery. It got replanted in a new pot from Lowe's that had dead succulents. Bought it for the pot mainly. I'm fairly clear on watering. I need instructions on lighting. Some afternoon sun in a kitchen window? Low light on a table? Bright light on my front porch? 🐀🐾
Hello, I think your front porch is the best spot. Some afternoon sun in a kitchen window is okay, too, as long as it doesn’t get too hot. We’re almost past summer, so that’s the other good spot. Thank you for the question. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Do you have a video for succies that needs direct sunlight and indirect. I put my fred ives and 2 hawo and jadelet in one pot. And I've learned that Hawos and Jadelets love indirect sunlight..while fred ives loves direct sunlight.
I repot them after watering, hope they wont they. This is my third day since repotting and I am planning to water them every 14 days. However the bottom leaves of my jadelet is wrinkled and falling. Any tips??? Thanks
Hello Reya, I do have a video about how much light they need and what to do. When you’re transitioning, please make sure it’s gradual. Thank you for the comment! My apologies for the late reply. 😅I have just started responding to the rest of the comments again. I’ve been so busy. I think I may have found a way to start making videos again. 🤞So, we’ll see! 😊Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Those saucer plants look awesome.

Could you give me some advice please?
I really wanted to follow every advice given in the video but I panicked when I realized my newly bought (and first ever) succulent's roots (well, one root to be precise) were growing out of the plastic pot it was in when I bought it. When I pulled it out of the plastic pot (carefully) they seemed way too long and too coiled, like the pot was really too small for it, and so I couldn't think clearly and changed the pot immediately for a bigger one and I put the succulent in it with all the soil it came with and a little bit of regular plant soil because I didn't have any cactus/succulent soil at home. And I had watered it just the day before so the soil was a bit damp though not saturated with water but still :( I just hope I didn't mess up the proportions of the soil too much and/or killed it with my actions. I made so many mistakes even though I watched half a dozen videos and read articles on how to properly care for succulents and I thought even as a complete gardener novice I wouldn't make stupid mistakes.
And I had been so happy too when I bought it because it seemed sturdy and has two growths at the base (it's a haworthia type of succulent) so I was looking forward to getting two baby succulents along with the normal one.
Is there anything I can do? I was hoping to buy succulent soil, a new bigger pot, and wait a few weeks before putting it again in the new pot. Should I pull it out entirely and wait a few days until I can get it some proper soil that's dry so there's no risk of it rotting?
Hi! Thank you for providing the details. I love how you provided all the information. It helps a lot. They will be okay. Just don’t water them again for about two to three weeks. Where are you at? It’s Fall here in Brentwood, CA, USA. If we have the same kind of weather, they will be fine without water for three weeks. There’s no need to repot again. Was the regular plant soil wet, too? If it wasn’t, it will even absorb the extra moisture in the soil from the original pot, so that’s even better. In fact, right now, I’m also in the process of observing whether the premixed cactus soil in bags that we buy from Lowe’s and Home Depot are best for them. They seems to be too fast draining, in my opinion. But I’m still observing them. I will definitely share the info once I have more facts and evidence. Thank you for asking your question. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings. ❤️🙏🌈
Thank you so much for your fast reply, it's such a relief to read! I'm keeping the pot indoors, and the temperature should be around 65°F at the lowest, 70°F at the highest, but since it's on my desk close to the desk lamp it's probably a little warmer :) It's also getting as much sun as possible from the window though there isn't much of it in France where I am. Unfortunately the soil I used was not exactly dry, as it was kept in a bag in a cold-ish dark room, but it was certainly drier than the soil that came with the succulent. I'll make sure to follow your advice and hope it all goes for the best :)
Initially, I only wanted one small low-maintenance plant to make my room a little happier without having to care too much for it. I did some research because I wanted to do it right even if it is supposedly low-maintenance, but the more I read about and watched videos for plant/succulent care (including yours and a couple other people on youtube) the more I find it interesting and enjoyable! Thank you for sharing your skills, passion and love of plant care :D
Great! As long as you’re seeing growth in the middle, she’ll be fine. And since temperature in the room where she stays ranges from 65 to 70, I would suggest pushing back watering to 5 to 6 weeks to give the time soil to dry. The Haworthia that I keep in my home only gets watered once a month or so. They are always better off experiencing induced drought than getting watered too often. It would be great if you have a moisture meter or probably make a DIY one, since we can’t really stick to a regular interval, such as saying “water them every 4 weeks” ‘cause the soil’s drying time varies widely. I hope this helps. Thank you and you’re welcome! Have a wonderful day or evening! 😊
Thanks for sharing.. kindly tell us about the potting mix.. thanks

First time to see your video. Am your new subscriber. I am starting to propagate my neighbor's
discarded succulent. I think she lost interest on her plant when it almost dried out. I will try to see all your videos and hope to be succesful in this. My daughter bought a violets plant and will try to propagate them also. Thanks and God bless you. Be safe.

Do i have to wait for at least 24hrs so the roots will callous before repotting? And is it okay to choppednor trim the roots that are very long and thick?
Hi Sheilla, either way works. You can always just plant it immediately. I don’t really wait for the tip to callus. I just don’t water it for days after planting. As for the roots, it is okay to trim some, just don’t water it immediately. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy.

So if we don’t repot until a year or two years but the soil says it feeds up to six months then what don’t you have to repot every six months because you have to change the soil out?
I rarely change out the soil. In fact, I would only change them out when a container starts looking like a bad hair day. 🤣 Thank you for the comment!

Great video! Just wondering where did you buy the lithops? They look great and I have always been looking for a trustworthy lithop vender.
Hello Wayne, I would find them in garden centers. You can also search for “succulents near me”. Not all would have them, but just keep trying. I can’t guarantee purchasing Lithops online.

I have a succulent arrangement that has 4 kinds of plants.. its been 3 months..they're growing taller..should I repot?
It’s totally up to your liking. I would repot early if they’re starting to look like a bad hair day, 😅 but other than that, I’d wait up to two years. Thank you for the comment!

I almost got a Split Rock just like the one that bloomed. Maybe I will have to for fall 😉
It’s going to be so rewarding. Just don’t water it too often. They last more than half a year without water. Thank you so much! I really appreciate your comment! Blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈
Hello done am new friend here hoping to get back stay connected. Beautiful cactus.
Hi! That’s nice to hear! Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it. Huge apologies for responding too late. Wishing you love, blessings, health and happiness! ❤️🙏💫
Thanks for listing these useful tips, making it easy to understand.
You’re welcome, Christina. I do try to present things in a more structured way. Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. ❤️☺️🌈
girlll why are you using gloves to repot the plants! touching the soil is the best part! it feels so nice and fresh on my skin I am so cringe at those gloves!!!! 🧤 (great video tho, very informative)
Thanks for the tip! I need to use gloves so that I can easily just take it off and push the buttons on my camera. Yes, using bare hands feels nice, but trust me, I need to push the buttons so many times 😅 and I take so many angles and not all of them would be seen in the finished video. The equivalents are too pricey, so I need be be very careful. 😊 Thank you for the comment! My apologies for the late reply. 😅I have just started responding to the rest of the comments again.

I absolutely love those metal shelving units... where did you get them from please...?
Hello Aneta, I might have bought it from Lowe’s or Home Depot. Thank you so much for the inquiry. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Amazing! I bought a bunch of cute succulents and one of them has the root coming out by a good 4 cm and I was wondering if I should repot right away?
Hi! You certainly could. Just be careful not to water them right after repotting. Let them settle in first before watering. You could also postpone repotting until their properly acclimated to their new space. My apologies for the late response. I hope those who are waiting for a response from me will read this, too. Just recently, I made a decision to respond to newer comments. I have been trying to respond to older comments first, hoping to catch up. But I haven’t been successful. So instead of trying to do that (‘cause now, I’m a full year behind) I’ll start responding from newest to oldest. Thank you so much for the comment. I really appreciate it.

if you replant after about 6-8 days after you water, wouldn’t the roots be wet? i know that wet or damp roots can increase bacteria even in dry soil. what do you think?
Hi Kira, just make sure that when you replant after watering that the new soil is dry. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy.

my string of dolphins have lost some of the dolphin shape to the leaves. I have read that this is a lighting issue. BUT.... I cannot find any information on if I correct the lighting issue, will the leaves regain their shape? Or do i need to do something else?
Hi, Ginny! I'm afraid that the deformation is irreversible, but the good news is that they will still grow new well-formed leaves as you correct the lighting issue. Try filtered light. Please watch this video: ua-cam.com/video/lljyD-I-ksk/v-deo.html Here, you'll find ways to control the amount of light that they are getting, so that you'll figure out how much light works for them.

I had a leave fall off. It is growing tiny little roots. But she is in a tiny pot for just starting. When do I put her in a larger pot? How
big does she need to be.
I suggest that you wait for the rosette to be at least two inches in width. The bigger they are, the more likely they are to survive the transfer. Thank you for the comment. I have just started responding to all of them. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
In Australia during summer we have weeks on end where the temperature is in the mid 40c’s with humidity in the high 90’s. Today after a week of unforgiving weather I found some of my Succulents had wilted and we’re quite hot to the touch although shaded. I’m finding a quick mist 2 times a week is well needed in this climate. It’s amazing to see the colours that have come out because of the heat. but with no end in site for scorching temps, another 40c+ day tomorrow I may have to bring my babies indoors for a few days. Another handy tip for those in hot climates be careful to run your water for several minutes prior to watering as the weather can heat cold the tap water hotter than the hot water system heats. Hot water will kill your plants.
Wow!!! Mid 40’s is super hot! That’s scary hot. Taking them in is definitely a great idea. Hang tight. The best part about a harsh Summer is that Fall follows after, which is recovery season. My succulents are loving the winter weather. 😍 Thank you for sharing your best practice with letting the garden hose run until there’s cooler water coming out. I can just imagine how much color your succulents are showing right now. This is one thing that I love about them; how they change color with the changes in the season. 🤩😍😃 Thank you for sharing your comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈
It’s very informative. Please tell me what is best soil mix for Succulents and what is for Lithops
Most growers would suggest cactus soil mix for most succulents. If you are planting them in the ground, any soil is good enough. I have been planting in regular soil in the ground and they are thriving. Proper watering interval is more important. I highly suggest cactus soil mix for Lithops. Thank you so much for the question. I really appreciate it! Wishing you more blessings! ❤🙏🌠
Do you give your succulents sunlight? It looks nice and shady on the racks you have them on. I’m in Cali and my city is sunny always in the summer time
Hi Alexandria, I used to have sunshades, but now, they are just all out in the open. I just strategically placed some of the more sensitive ones close to a small bush for shade.

Thanks for sharing this. Always heard to repot just before the summer. Sounds like you have covered all basis for this to be done year round! Going to follow your detailed timelines
You’re welcome! It’s always best done before summer, but it can still work, as long as they are placed in a cool area. Thank you for leaving a comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings! ❤️🙏💫
After repot should I water them?
Not yet. I would suggest that you wait about one to two weeks. Let them settle in first. They are better off experiencing dry spell than getting watered too often. Thanks again! I really appreciate all your questions. More and more blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈
