    The first succulent I got was a panda plant! My local grocery store was having a sale on mini succulents. I saw those adorable fuzzy little brown tips and my succulent obsession was born.

    • @ElitaTheCat
      @ElitaTheCat 2 роки тому +1

      Same! I started with a succulent and named it Fireheart! Not warrior-based. Then the Mealybugs came.. I had to behead it, propagate all of the leaves, and all that stuff. So far it’s doing fine.

    I love this plant, it does well for me indoors in a west facing window.
    I do wish you made close ups of the plants you're talking about, its hard to see any details from so far away!

    • @Succulentsandsunshine
      @Succulentsandsunshine  4 роки тому +13

      Thank you for the feedback! I was trying to keep these simple to produce so we could do a lot this month. However, not including close ups was definitely an oversight.
      And one we'll remedy in our next round of videos.
      In the meantime, you can see a close up of the plants here:

    I love my fuzzy panda plant. One of it's stalks broke off once, and it grew aerial roots back into the old stalk and came back! Tough and pretty plants.

  • @denisedidreckson9779

    Both the "Panda Plant" and "Chocolate Soldier" are in my collection. The leaves are irresistible, and I feel like a little kid who can't stop touching something haha They look good with many other succulents; as as you said, are so easy to propagate. My kind of plant!

  • @nancysmith8190
    @nancysmith8190 4 роки тому +15

    I've had a chocolate soldier since I first started my succulent collecting. And, I'm happy to say that it still is healthy and fuzzy! I love it for that, and the fact that it has 'chocolate' in it's name!

  • @janetac1738
    @janetac1738 3 роки тому +4

    I have wanted one for so long but I'm one of those people that would rather propagate my own. I was able to get a very small cutting of a chocolate soldier and about 5 panda leaves . And you are so right, they are so much fun to watch grow! They are so adorable and I'm having so much fun growing them!

Glad to know it’s summer dormant, I was wondering why it hasn’t grown much since I got it. Thanks again, Cassidy!

    I am definitely learning a pattern here...greenish/blue succulents definitely have the best chance to grow indoors since there isn't much color to lose. I like the names too...Panda, Chocolate Soldiers...my kind of plants. Just wish my climate was more tolerant to year round outdoor growth...besides the cold, there's just too much snow here.
