Bold of you to assume I can keep these plants alive long enough to develop this deformity
HAHAHA
😭😭🤣🤣🤣
Meee
Omg 😭😆🤣
This comment Made my day haha
You now have a palm tree succulent. :)
I love it lol
That's so cute
At one point or anther, I think we've all had one of those "palm tree succulents". LOL
My succulent is quaking listening to me watch this video
me to my leggy succulents bc of my inadequate lighting situation: shhhh ur beautiful 💚
I have a succulent that’s going crazy, and I thought I was doing something really good for it.
Turns out I’m just a shitty succulent owner.
rach hehe
Ohhhh my gosh....YES! Somehow, my eye caught the name of this video and I thought, “Wait, stretching is bad?!”
@@fannyfreckle it's not bad, it's normal, it's just the way they grow. It's just about looks, when you keep them in an arrangement with other succulents or so. But if you like them the way they are, just let them be.
You'd though that they'd be growin up like normal plants, but that is bad after all.
Lol same 😂
Would love an update on the leaves when they form their babies.
Im sure im not the only one who thinks it looks quite nice leggy like that :D
Totally agree
I’m with you.. have 2 just like that. She didn’t say it was harmful to leave it leggy did she???
@@blondept7044 nah it won't harm it straight away but if the light is really low enough it will die. They could also tope lime she said. If yours is like the one in the video be fine :)
Sometimes, if left to stretch more, the leaves will separate so you can see through them. That especially doesn’t look very good. Plus, it’s not exactly healthy for the plant.
it looks cute, but I for instance have one that is REALLY stretched out, and some of the leaves don't look healthy at all anymore.
Man, that succulent looks fine.
It's just out there living its best life.
🌲
i need to sleep and i have no clue why youtube thinks i need this video. but i liked it and i will try this. thank you
Ahh, now I know what I did wrong with mine. I watered too soon. :( I might be able to salvage a few leaves and start over. *sob*
Yeahh... me also did wrong with my succulants.. :(
@@shiedarosli642, so sorry. :(
Meeeee2.
I propagated mine by sticking them through plastic wrap above a pie plate with water. They rooted so fast!
That same thing happened to one of my Sempervivum. The guy was sorrounded by a lot of other succulents in a arrangement, thus receiving not much light. When I decided to save him, I think I made things worst, because he has been losing a lot of leaves since that day and now he looks more like a palm tree than a Sempervivum. I decided this time to leave him alone, waiting for him to recover from the trauma he's been through.
Edit: The poor guy finally died. May the force be with you, little sempervivum.
Those need to be outside
Thank you, once again, for the great education! I have been propagating succulents for several years now, based on your instructions. You are spot on - and I have so many lovely succulents started from babies that I gift them to friends and neighbors. The gift that keeps on giving!
That's one of the things I find so awesome about most succulents, they're so tenacious and capable of recovering compared to some other plants. They also tend to have really nice patterns and lovely little flowers.
😄👍
How to save your succulent: Step 1. Chop it off and rip into bits. Lol 😂 but yes it works
Yes it does, my back porch has pans everywhere w/ propagation going on! 🌿🌹👍🏼
Wow! 28 free plants! That's a huge savings! My daughter is the houseplant and succulent whisperer. Idk if she follows you but I have turned her on to your vids. You are sweet anf pleasent to watch. My new favorite thing is pothos in water. Been growing them in collected tea pots and they are so pretty.
I feel personally attacked. There’s absolutely no reason UA-cam should have suggested this to me unless they are looking in my window.
Thanks though :)
Misty K. Hahahha right? Same! It’s like my succulent was talking shit when my phone was nearby and boom! Here we are. More light it is lil succulent 😂
Same, I just started my interest in plants an have 4 succulents. One of them started sprouting like this and I didn't know what to do
I know right?! -Same!
i was just wondering yesterday what exactly was wrong with my succulent and it’s like i was heard
Ha ha ha :)
I do the same thing with my succulents. Nothing better than getting free plants and to watch them grow. Have a wonderful day🌴😄🌴
This is perfect! My mom's succulent was looking odd and we didn't know what was wrong (first time gardeners). They looked just like this. I sent the video to her. Thank you so much!
I wish I had found your channel 2+ years ago when I first started collecting succulents. You have answered every question I could possibly ask and more, thank you so much!
I've learnt the most about plants from this channel ❤️
Yes! She is so smart plant wise,and the place they live ... wow 😲
My family thinks I’m nuts because I have so many babies growing. But I was able to freshen up two larger arrangements with new plants that I grew myself. So exciting! I still have a ton more that need to put on more growth. I had a few that had mealy bugs but I’m using insecticidal soap and it seems to be helping, alcohol wasn’t enough.
Anita Hadley hi hVe mealy bug probs . I have started to wash them under tap , it works very well
@@christinebeames2311 wouldnt that lead to fungal problems if you soak the leaves under the tap?
Tell doubting family it is better than multiplying rabbits in the house! 😁
I’ve never owned a succulent a day in my life. But here I am lmaooooo
Love your videos.
Glad this popped up in my recommended... I guess they knew it was time to fix all of mine up for winter!
Thank you!!! I love watching and learning from you! Blessings from Canada
Your succulent videos are the OG... and what brought me to your channel five years ago 😊 I'll always be thankful to succulents for that ❤
I’ve always loved the tidy, symmetry of these plants but being such a newbie, have never tackled them. I’m starting to see how easy it is to fall in love with them!
THANK YOU! this came at such as good time. It helped loads!
I would love to see how you fix the others. The one you showed I have seen you do before (not as in depth) but the other varieties I would love to know how to fix those as I do have one that is leggy :) . Thanks so much! I love everything you do because I learn so much!
Ohh thank you for the timely information! Coffee with Laura and I am off to see how to help the plants I have at work!
Oh my goodness! I was literally sitting here five minutes ago looking at some succulents that are leggy and need to be fixed. But. Had no idea how. Thank you so, so, much for this and for everything you do!
I wondered why you had a boot tray. Clever use! Very helpful video as always and thank you. I'm guilty of watering too soon as well.
Very informative. Your love of succulents is what got me interested in them. I just love them. Can’t wait for the Spring update on the succulent bunny. 🐰🐰🐰
I was never knew to much about succulents until watching your videos. So glad I did!
I'm so glad I remembered that you had provided such an in-depth explanation of how to do this because I finally kept succulents alive long enough to have this problem! 😂 Now I guess I need to get some better grow lights! 💚
Woo, thanks! During the recent Texas Ice Bonanza, in my teeny portable greenhouse, one of mine etoliated like a freakin snake. (I'm just glad ANY-thing survived. I lost all of the plants that were towards the outside wall and almost all of my succulents.) I'd already laid out the extra leaves, but now I know that I can keep the crown. Much appreciated. One aloe is kind of etoliated, but it made the prettiest flower spike when it got out into the sun, so hey, life goes on.
Amazing how easy is to propagate succulents! Great video as usual! Hugs from Atlanta to you and your boys! 💜🌱
Thanks I needed this! Mine are starting to and my coworker gave me hers that just got out of control. I’ll be fixing them up and growing a bunch of new now!
I have a few leggy succulents so I’ll be taking care of them this week now that I finally know how to rescue them! I’ve had so much success with propagation using all of your great advice. I appreciate it so much!
great video as usual. thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!
I love his video. This has happened to me so many times and I didn’t know what to do. Thank you Laura for this information.
Finally UA-cam recommended me a very useful video for someone who grows a succulent at home.
So pleased to see that you will be at the Philadelphia Flower show this year. You should be recognized for promoting and sharing your garden knowledge with all your viewers. Maybe I'll get to see you there.
Wow I started my indoor garden this week and your video has been so helpful
A friend sent me a rose succulent off for Valentine's Day. And it got leggy just like you showed yours. So now I know how to save it and make more babies! Thank you so much. I wish you and all who read this the very best!
I'm just began venturing into propagating succulents this summer! It's going great but this was super helpful because I had some like tall looking succulents that I just didn't know what to do with! thanks!! excited that I found your channel!
Thank you for including the links to the grow lights!
Thank you. I now know how to fix my plants. I love to watch baby succulents grow. I have a tray I started early this year. They are slowly getting bigger
Wonderful video and great info given . Enjoyed watching your video .you seem to have practical knowledge about the succulents.
Let's stay connected friend
This method actually worked perfectky for my stretched succulent. Doing so much better now
This was so helpful. This always happens to my succulents and now I know why. :)
Very knowledgeable. Thanks for a great video!
Thank you, Laura. This was a great informative video!! 🌿. I learned a great deal.
Thanks for the helpful video! this, and overwatering are the two biggest succulent problems i see 24/7. nice to know how to fix it.
You are so great! This is a concise video covering all the bases, answered my question and quickly educated me. You covered all the issues I needed help with. I did everything you did, end-to-end. Thank you! Keep doing your thing!
Wow I always learn so much from you! It’s almost as if you’re reading my mind! I gave one little cactus that was given to me as a present and it’s doing exactly that, teaching for the sun!
Just wanted to say Thank You, love watching your videos! Great information ....and love that you explain everything ! Honestly the best videos out there (in my opinion)!!
Hi
Great to watch...learning all the time since finding you here.Thanks.
Jack UK london
Thank you for dealing with this issue
I love that pretty fluffy arb! It made me happy!🤗
Thank you for making this video! So helpful.
I wasn’t even searching for this, but I’m so glad it popped up under suggested videos! My succulents are getting crazy long and snakey! 🐍
now this was some really helpful advice. thank you for that quality video among so many that are just a waste of time here on yt
Thank you! My succulents were stretching and I didn’t know what to do. Did some clipping and put them under the grow lights downstairs.
Thank you for posting such great info!
I really appreciate your sharing the knowledge you have with all of us!
This was SUPER helpful, thank you!!
Thanks Laura - very helpful! I’ve had nothing but “leggy luck” in growing succulents. So, now I’m better informed and can keep my plants healthier and avoid the dreaded etoliation (sp?) scourge!
Thank you for being an inspiration and awesome teacher 👏😊
What tim8ng!My daughter and I are having this problem.Now,thanks to you,we can fix and propagate. 😉
Great video, I have learned so much about succulent plants from you. I have been trying my hand on growing some succulents and have been doing okay, I'm learning as I go, and what to do and what not to do. They really are such beautiful plants. Thank you so much for this video, and I will see you in your next one.
As always happy too see more of you guys 😸
Such great tips. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. I had one that was badly stretched, so I was able to propagate this week.
Thanks UA-cam recommendations!
Honestly I think they look really neat n unique like this!
Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful tutorial. Can't wait to get home and do some propagating
Very informative, thank you!
This is awesome to know. Some of mine are getting leggy, now I know how to propagate ! Thank you !
Succulents are wonderful and amazing plant. I had found some succulents' leaves that fell from the container into the tile floor and they have growing babies .....that is quite amazing! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for these instructions! I moved my little leggy work succulents by the window and plucked off some of the leaves on the bottom like this several months back, now I have a mini garden by my work window 😍 I was thrilled! Can you show how you did some of the other ones you had the too? Esp the ones that are traditionally more stemmy-looking than like an echeverria.
This is exactly what I was looking for, thank you!!😭
I love your videos! so informational, and you present in a clear and enthusiastic way.
I'm surprised that you didn't behead the plant to preserve it. I do love the way this one turned out. I have a bunch of etiolated succulents that need to be taken care of...soon. Thanks for showing us a great way to remedy these stretched out plants. 🌾💜
P.S. Happy belated 1st Birthday to Benjamin! 🎂🎁🎈🍨
OMG. I just looked at my succulents and they are pretty leggy, Darn winter and little light. Now I will get at them. Thanks for the info.
Great tips. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much my plant started looking like this and I had no idea what to do
Very detailed video. Thank you so much!
This was so helpful, I have a succulent that I didn't know how to care for and iv just been fumbling by and accedently learnt some of the process but not all of it with propergating with the leaves but I didn't know what to do with my main boy. He has such a big stem now after getting him when me and my partner moved in to our first home so it's been 6 years now! Hes growing 2 more at the bottom in the same place 2 were taken away whilst I was learning when I thought it was over crowded. But now I want to really do it properly so this will help get my very first succulent back to its former glory!
Fascinating...I am a floral designer at a supermarket and we get a lot of succulents...I've got a few home but now I have a better idea how to care for them...love how you laid the leaves out on that flat surface and later they sprout then start having babies...going to try that!
I have a tendency to over water.
This helped me not to give up.
Thank you....M♡M of 5
Lots of info packed in these few minutes! Great stuff, thanks, I'll be deconstructing an etiolated succulent today! :)
Ive got some of these, although bit different variety. They're all but impossible to kill. Great little plants.
Omg thank you! I have some I need to rescue, before I lose them totally & you explained this so well. I'm going to try & see how it goes. :)
😇🎉 "What..." NO Russell 🐈 LOL 😊 Hi Laura, I had NO IDEA on how to properly care for succulents 🌵💚👒
Thank YOU for sharing this video 📹🌵💚👒
LUV JOY 😊 💜🌵💚👒
Thanks for the big information..😍😍
I’ve got a couple that are pretty stretched out, but I’m going wait to trim and repot when the days get longer. I probably should invest in some grow lights for winter. Even my tropicals struggle a bit with the lower light in the house during the winter. I’ve bought a couple already etolliated from the nursery because I think they are still pretty and interesting that way. Even if not perfect. 🍀❤️ thanks for such great information!
So awesome ! 🙌🏻 thank you so much! This is very helpful. In fact I find ALL your videos helpful. 😊👍🥰.
Now I want to grow a bunch of succulents!
I’m glad I saw this... I’ve been doing some things wrong when propagating.
Always so helpful!! This happens to my cacti so now I know what to do to avoid this.
