You are so admirable having succulents in different colours and sizes. I just admire your hard work you put in caring for your pots of succulents.😍🌸🇵🇭🇦🇺
Many many thanks for your kind words!
Je voudrais bien en avoir avant en France il y en avait beaucoup plus maintenant dommage c'est des plantes que l ont laissé quand on veut aller plusieurs mois partis c est se qui met arriver plus de plantes alors des suculente ou en trouver merci merci de donner l adresse mail merci
❤ your advice! It is precise & detailed at the same time!
Glad it was helpful!
Keep in mind though theres a difference between glazed and unglazed ceramic. Glazed does not add any benefits to breathability and is similar to a nursery pot in that regard.
Totally agree 🥰
I picked up a couple of pots in a nursery that are terracotta, but glazed around the outside sides. The inside of the pot and the bottom of the pot, inside and out, is unglazed. I'm guessing these will be just a tad more breathable than a plastic pot?
@@sabrinasahla6387 hard to tell but i wouldn’t say theres much of a difference tbh. If the inside is unglazed and soaks up water it could actually make it dry out a little slower. Probably nit much of a different anyways however. As long as your succulent is able to dry out quickly with good sun and airflow any kind of pot is ok.
Great video, very detailed!
thank you , many tips i learned today about succulent care. im just a beginner 😊
Właśnie szukam doniczek. Dzięki za rady, ten filmik był bardzo pomocny. I napewno wpłynie na wybór doniczki do moich sukulentów.

Wow thx so much I just started with succulents and I’m trying to propagate them
Cool! Good luck with your propagation!
How do you use wooden ones? Do they drainage holes too and how long will they last? TY.
What’s your advise on concrete planters? Are the good for succulents?
Hi Stefan, concrete planters are porous so water can evaporate quickly, making them the perfect pot material for cacti and succulents. It's best to choose the one with drainage holes! For more information, you can refer to our blog on this topic: succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/choose-the-right-pots-for-your-succulents
Love your succulents 😍 beautiful... I wanted to ask, does the not more than 1-2 inches work for echeveria? How will the pups grow from the roots and come out from the top soil? Just wondering? I can see a pup on the root, but I'm not sure what size pot I should select
Hi, thank you for your question. It depends on how big your succulent is. As many professional gardeners recommend a container that is 10% larger in diameter than the width of your succulent. For instance, if your chubby green has a width of 4 inches, a 4.5-inch pot will be ideal for it 😉

Thank you so much for your feedback ^^
How about concrete pots? I really like the look, are they as breathable as terracotta ones?
Please don't worry, they are just amazing for cacti and succulents. Concrete planters are porous so water can evaporate quickly. It's important that they have drainage holes as well. Concrete planters are durable and great at insulating plants against sudden temperature fluctuations as well as absorb and radiate heat, which can protect roots against late or early frosts.
You can check some concrete pots here succulentsbox.com/search?type=product,page,article,collection&q=concrete%20pot*
Thanks for the video! Since the decorative pots have a drainage hole, how do you keep them on furniture? I really hate the look of pot trays if I'm using pretty pots but if I don't use either a pot cover (ie. for plastic pots) or a pot tray, water and soil will get on the surface below and possibly ruin the furniture under it over time. Do you have a solution?
I use saucers, or side plates, depending on the size of the pot. hope that helps.
Hi, Rehmi's idea is nice, or you can try this: Cut a piece of plastic window screening big enough to cover the container drainage holes. This will keep the soil in place while allowing excess water to drain. Alternatively, you can use a piece of landscape fabric or a commercial pot screen to cover the holes.
@@SucculentsBox Thank you both for the advice! I use pebbles at the bottom of my succulent pots for additional drainage, so I guess that can also work as a barrier for the soil.
That's a great idea. If you need any help, please do not hesitate to contact us ^^
@@danas986 I just watched a previous video that says not to use the rocks/stones at the bottom because it will make the water too difficult to drain. So now I'm confused. 😕🤔
With glass pots i slowly drill a hole through them with a point on my tweezers because they won’t break if you slowly do it
Thanks. Nice tips, we will try it sometime.
I know in Florida you can actually get soil made for succulents, palms, and cacti.
yeah and if you can't find one, you can make one
Hi! Question? If the pot (with holes) is too big enough, can i add more succulents with different types to make it beautiful and equally hydrated?
Hi there, here some tips for you, succulents require a pot that is about 10% wider than the plant itself. When choosing between shallow and deep pots, always go with the shallow pot. The pot's depth should be 10% more than the plant's. If your pot is big enough for two or more succulents, you can put them very close together and they will grow OK. When succulents are planted close together, they grow more slowly, allowing the arrangement to retain its original pattern. Hope this helps
@@SucculentsBox Thank you! it's a really great tip for beginners like me 🥰✨
👌👌👌👌

Hi
I m making pot from broken tiles is good for succulents?
I made from cement as well ,this is good to?🤔
I wouldnt say its better than most pots but probably fine. As long as succulents are in good sun and have good airflow the soil will dry out quickly.
I'm wanting to put succulents in a vintage China vase. It has no holes. Is that ok or should I drill some ??
It would be best if the pot has a drainage hole to prevent the rot root. But in case you don't want to drill a hole, you can check our blog about how to care for the succulent in no-drainage hole pots here: succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/how-to-take-care-of-succulents-in-a-no-drainage-pot Hope it would be helpful 😉
My sincrassula does not want to grow
What is the most size used and of what material is it made of ?
Hi, the size would base on the size of your succulent. And the materials usually recommended for succulents are terracotta and ceramic, but you can use others as long as they have a drainage hole 😉
Is ceramic just as good for succulents as terracotta?
Terracotta and ceramic are all porous and breathable materials. They’re great for both outdoor and indoor, especially areas that aren’t well ventilated.
Bought a ton of planters before I realized even tho they’re ok w/o drainage hole, they prefer it. 😢Time to spend $ on a drill!
Is there any that you can’t pot w others? Feel like my baby toes should stay alone..?
Definitely ok to pot with others just make sure the watering needs, sun requirement and things like that are all the same. Succulents generally dont mind being crowded but it does slow growth(which i find to be a good thing. I like keeping my collection compact). When you drill holes i heard you should do it in water/underwater because it stops the pots from shattering.
From where can I get this kind of wooden box?
I'm sorry but that pot is currently out of stock. We can recommend you a substitution with this wooden box succulentsbox.com/products/rare-chain-cholla-wood-3-inch-pot
@@SucculentsBox sure..will check ✔️ thanks a bunch friend 💚
