An 82 yr old man in UK returning to succulents after too many years. You are good, with an easy manner and plenty of good solid information. I am subscribing,
Well it’s never too late to get back into them and thank you so much for the compliment and for subscribing!!
Same, same Tony Lockwood. I've subscribed too
Me too! 63 year old lady here, only about 2 years into succulents. These videos are full of good info!! Tyty
So glad I found this video. I was going to re-pot my succulents and kill them because of too much water! You saved lives today!
Natalie Bourgeois Glad to know I made the difference in at least one life, even if it was a plant 🙂 Thank you so much for watching!
@@SweetSweetSucculents how do I subscribe
Loretta Odonnell when you are watching my video, you should see a “subscribe” button underneath (if watching small view, phone turned normal way). It is in red right across from my name “SweetSweetSucculents”
😂🤣
Really helpful video. Thank you!💚🌵💚
You probably saved my succulent! I bought one without researching and now I have no idea how to keep it alive.
I Hate Almond Joys well thank you! Just remember, they like well-draining soil, lots of light, and the #1 killer is watering too often! I have a video on how to know when to water but in general, you let the soil get bone dry before ever watering again. I wait even longer til my plant looks wrinkly or floppy. Good luck with your plant and I hope it leads you to get more! (It’s an addiction.) Thanks for watching!
Same bought two at farmers market didn't tell us the kind they where or any watering or care tips
they both look like echeveria types... i think... had to find it all on youtube
Same has happened here 😳😅
I’m in the boat with you. I was about to kill my new succulents. I am very new to them, like, I know NOTHING! Thank goodness for channel!
Thank you for your help! You probably just saved some lives at my house!
I just bought a handful of succulents and this was super helpful! I'm the type to baby plants, and I've struggled with succulents previously because I definitely have a tendency to overwater if I don't force myself not too
Ditto! Fingers crossed
I wish I saw this video before I bought a bunch of plants! As a newbie, I got really excited, so I bought a bunch of different succulents, repotted them, and watered them without really knowing what I was doing 🤦🏼♀️. I do live in Phoenix AZ, where it’s super dry, and all the pots have drainage holes, so I THINK they will be ok, but I’m going to keep a close eye on them. Thanks so much for being so informative, I will be binge watching your channel today lol
Tara Lipke yeah in a hot and not humid place like you have I bet they’ll be okay....here on the other hand we can get super high humidity. Glad you enjoyed the video!! ❤️
I’ve had my succulent for a little over 5 months now and she has grown so much!
Definitely saving this for when I get to repotting her once it’s a little bit warmer
I'm a beginner .. just learning how to grow and propagate! So excited! Also I have to repot two. 😳. So thanks for the tips! Wish me luck.
JULIE SIMMONS Good luck! Also check out my video on propagating leaves, I did it all the time until I had hundreds of plants and now I don’t even do it much because I don’t know what to do with them all!
yesee odbye
Thank you!! I'm so glad you showed what to do with wet and dry soil, I feel like other videos only show how to do things with perfect conditions. Half the succulents I bought yesterday were soaking wet, but now they're all going to thrive!
Yes don’t you hate how stores keep them soaked?!! Anyway thanks so much for watching!!
Very nice presentation ~ learned some things from you that I have never
known - or been told by 'experts' relative to repotting. I will recommend
your site to other. Thanks so much!
Mia Ibanez Thank you so much! I’m glad it helped. Hope you will continue watching! ❤️
Excellent video! Your explanations were so thorough! Beginners like me need to see every single step for each plant!
Well thank you so very much!! I hope you’ll continue to watch!! :)
I love that you’ve explained the reasoning behind all of the guidelines! It helps me understand so much better. Subscribed! ❤️
Thanks so much for watching!! Glad you subscribed and if you ever have suggestions on videos let me know!
I'm so grateful for this video! Finally caved and bought my first succulents today. They were pretty dry so of course I watered them right when I got home. Im planning on potting them in the morning and just came across your video while trying to learn more. So now all of my new babies were very gently taken out and put careful on a wire rack to help dry out the soil. Thank you so much for the great information
rose hill Aww congratulations on your new babies! I’m glad you are taking the time to learn about them because I sure didn’t at first until I killed a few! Thanks for watching and good luck!!
You are a good teacher. I enjoyed listening to your lucid instructions on how to repot succulents and feel ready to do the task tomorrow myself . Thank you
Thank you so much for the compliment and thank you for watching. Good luck tomorrow!
Thank you so much for this video! I have never really kept succulents because of having no clue how to properly care for them, but this year I bought a few and they are doing quite well. However, I don't know why they are doing well! I do plan on putting them in terra cotta pots. Now that you have answered some critical questions, I feel much happier knowing how to care for them. It's hard to just find a simple answer to the care of these plants and your video was nice, straight forward, and I no longer feel like I am crazy because I listen to my plants. I watch them and can tell if they are in need of something. That's a fantastic way to love your plants! I will be watching more of these videos and I am new subscriber. Thanks again!
SpiritsEnchantments I’m so glad your plants are doing great and thank you so much for watching! (And subscribing!!)
Thank you! So very glad I found you, I have been so confused regarding potting, repotting, soil, watering. You answered all of my questions!
02shelbyanne yay! I have a video all about watering also if you haven’t seen it yet! Thank you so much for watching ❤️
Thank you for your information. The mixture of soil is the most explicit I have found. I will definitely continue to watch your videos!
Thank you so much! I am glad you enjoyed it and I have a new video coming soon!
Glad I found you. I'm from the Philippines. Just starting to collect succulants about 2 months ago after my retirement. Thank you so much for the tips. Enjoy watching and more videos. Stay safe. MABUHAY from the PHILIPPINES!
Thank you so much for watching!! I’m glad you are starting and this is going so be such a fun adventure for you!! ❤️❤️❤️ please stay tuned
Great video! I just repotted a few of my succulents and now I know they should do well in their new pots. Thank you for this video!!! 😁
Really great info! Thank you! 🏃🏻♀️ to watch the rest of your videos!
So glad I found this video! Last time when I re-potted my newly bought succulents, I killed all of them because I did all the Don'ts that you pointed out!!! Thank you and I'm looking forward to watch all your videos
Well thank you!!! I’m so glad I was able to help. I hope you will subscribe and check out my other videos ❤️
This was exactly what I needed, thank you!! I've wanted succulents for years and my dad just gifted me with several. I was unprepared and had no clue what to do with them lol, so this was so helpful!
Glad it helped, and thanks for watching!
My first time watching one of your videos...good thing I did as I bought 3 cute little succulents today and was going to repot and of course water them! Now I have much more confidence. Thanks! And I love your accent! 💕🇨🇦
Lynne Evaskevich glad to help, and thank you for watching! Lol, yes, I grew up in Arkansas so I guess I have a little bit of an accent :)
thank you for being so detailed in informing all different scenarios; I have like 20 all diferrent and so glad I found you; we are in Miami, florida. I have some in our gorgeous pool terrace and I have some indoors in a huge window at my kitchen area that is open to the pool terrace area; we have over 400 orchids of all breeds; my hubby is in charge of those lol. Thank you
Very helpful. You treat them with care and respect...great tips for a succulent starter mom🤗
Thank you 🙏 You were so through in this. You didn't leave anything unsaid and I so appreciate that. I think some ppl out there assume we know the smallest things and we don't and we need someone like you to tell us this is what I'm doing, this is why, and this is what you want to do after bcuz of so and so. A beautiful job done on this video! And now, I am off to see your others!
Aww thank you, I really appreciate it! Also, I feel kind of bad that I haven’t made a video in a long time so if you have any ideas for one, let me know!
Thank you for all the great tips!
mishmosh277 you’re welcome, and thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Wonderful explanation on repotting with dry or wet soil! I now understand better 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. Thank you! Thank you!
Klare Rio ❤️ thank you!!
Thank you for the information ☺️ I repoted my 4 succulents and was worried that I did it wrong. Thankfully I found your video and realized I did it correctly!
Emily M glad you got them all fixed up!! Thanks for watching ❤️
Same here. I came hoping I didn’t do it horribly. Turns out they’re gonna be alright.
Amber Cadance yay!!
I deeply appreciate your thorough explanation and how you are very gentle with handling succulents.
I enjoyed watching your video!
Thanks and God bless you!!!
Aww thank you, that means a lot to me! Thank you so much for watching ❤️
New subscriber! So glad I found your videos♥️ I just got my first succulent for Mother’s Day🥳 I have always been a natural green thumb for other indoor plants but I’m weird & I prefer small plants that don’t grow crazy fast or I toss them lol. I want more succulents they are so beautiful and these videos will be a big help!! 🙏🏼
Medusa Well succulents are low maintenance so I think you will love them! Also thank you so much for watching!
I love how you had 3 different examples, super helpful!!! 😊 thank you so much, I’m a new succulent parent
Welcome to the addiction!! ❤️
Love this video! New to succulents and have killed so many! This video answered so many of my questions. So much detail.
I’m so glad to have helped! Hope you will keep watching ❤️
Thank you for this information. I've been struggling with my succulents (A LOT). Just purchased several more today... repotted some of them and THEN saw you're video. I had to pause the video to take notes and clean up my work station because I now know that both my soil AND the soil of the new plant must be dry.
Cheryl Baker sounds good! The soil type is important too, it needs to be well draining and fast drying. I use a lot of perlite and chicken grit added to the regular succulent soil. And then I never water til the plant tells me. Good luck!!
@@SweetSweetSucculents Thank you for taking the time to reply. This is only the second time I've commented on a Tuber's video. I have JUST recently learned that I cannot use the succulent mix straight out of the bag. I've had to (and am in the process of) repotting nearly each and every one of my plants - including the succulents because the soil is not draining properly. Thanks again for the information.
Cheryl Baker you are welcome! I have noticed it depends on the plant. Some can still handle it but most of mine can’t
This was SOOOO helpful! I was about to repot a bunch of succulents I got from a subscription. I haven’t done it yet because I was scared I would kill them all. I’m gonna go repot them now!! Thank you!
Thank you so much! Have fun planting!!
Love the cute little pot for the crested plant .
Thank you for sharing your expertise with succulents. I am new to the succulent world and adding to my collection. I am soooo bad about overwatering them because in Texas where I live, dried out plants = sudden death! But I am learning!
Thanks!! Yes watering is a major succulent issue. I have a video about watering also! But yes here in Arkansas we get super hot days so smaller plants or babies burn to a crisp if you’re not careful
Love the video!! Very informative. Thanks
I bought my first succulent and this video was so helpful!! thank you so much for the tips 🙏🏻💗
Yay!! Welcome to the addiction!
Thank you 🙏 I had done such an amazing job growing some succulents a year ago. I reported them and all of them died. I couldn't figure out what I did wrong. Now I know. I just moved last month and bought some new babies at Lowes and I am so scared to repot them. Terrified. Now I know what to do. You're wonderful. I just subscribed.
Oh I’m so sorry you lost your plants!! Also don’t forget to avoid watering too often! That’s the #1 way they die. Thanks for watching and subscribing! ❤️
Thank you! This is just what I needed! I bought 3 succulents and I’m a newby
Well thanks for watching and subscribe if you want more tips! Good luck ❤️
Thank you for sharing ...
You’re welcome, and thanks for watching!
When I transplant my succulents I check for dry or wet b4 transfering to another pot- if dry I soak it in a little bit of water to soften the dirt b4 loosening the soil so not to damage the roots. If too wet i don't water it I just plant it in cactus soil with sand and permiculite simi dry dirt. Also what help is moisture water meter. $8.99- $34.00 Amazon or Wal-mart. Great vlog for beginners! 👍❤👍
Elena Celeste I don’t moisten the roots because you’re making open wounds when you break them up which could potentially cause rot...running water would probably work better. Also vermiculite holds water so might not be as good as perlite or other non-organic additives. Sand is good but only coarse sand...fine sand or beach-type sand will also hold water a long time.
I used to use a moisture meter but now I just watch my plants and let them tell me when they are thirsty. A meter is good but even if it says “very dry”, that doesn’t always mean it’s time to water. I did a video about this but didn’t talk about the moisture meter so may do this in a future video. Thanks for watching!!
I learned several tips that I have not heard other UA-camrs mention! Great video!
Thank you so much and I hope you subscribe if you want more tips in the future!
this is so great video. I love succulents so much and I even have a bunch of it at home, what I love most is they're so cute and occupies a little space compare to other ornamental plants. Great to know things from you as well. We learn from each other.
Skye's the limit thank you!!
Awesome video! Thank you! I've been doing mine way wrong. Didn't realize the roots needed to calcify if damaged before watering. It's so depressing to watch them die. THANK YOU 🤩
Thank you so much! Don’t forget also that they are super sensitive to watering. I made a special video on how to tell when they need water so that may help as well. It’s always sad when you lose one but it happens to all of us
@@SweetSweetSucculents really helpful ty again
Thank you for providing great advice!!
Milly Lopez Thank you for watching!
Thoroughly enjoyed your video how to repot succulents for beginners. This video was easy to follow and your presentation was marvelous. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the compliment and thank you for watching! I hope you can subscribe and check out all of my other succulent tips and adventures! ❤️
Thanks for the great info!
Tonya L you’re welcome, and thanks for watching!!!
Great basic tips, which really help to be successful with succulents. Terracotta versus glazed pots. Terracotta is breathable, glazed are not. Drainage holes are so important! Thanks, for your great tips.
Love this! I’m reporting several succulents today. Also I’m in Little Rock as well and I have that same shirt! Haha
Wow!! Are you in our Facebook group?? If not, look up “Central Arkansas Cacti & Succulents” !
I was given two succulents and I had no idea what to do with them, but I wanted to try. I have never been able to grow plants. Your video is very helpful. Thank you!!!
If you’ve never been able to grow succulents in particular, I really recommend that you watch my video on watering. Most people kill them due to overwatering but if you watch the video you will find out how and when to water them without killing them. Thanks for watching!!
So informative!! Thank you.
robin hernandez Thank you for your comment and for watching!
Thank you for breaking it down 👍🏻 appreciate you❣️
suzie queue thank you!! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video. I just got my first two of many succulents that I plan to start and this saved the day. I love love love your greenhouse. I want to get one soon!!!
Well I’m glad you liked the video and I’m glad you got your first succulents...it’s so addictive and fun!! I hope you will subscribe and check out my other videos on watering, propagation, etc!
@@SweetSweetSucculents yes, subscribed while watching this video lol. You're easy to watch and kept my attention the WHOLE time which is hard to do lol. Thanks again
So glad I found your video! I am getting ready to repot some succulents that have outgrown the little pot they came in and I would have done so many things wrong and been so sad if I had hurt them. I feel much better prepared to introduce them to their new homes now! Your video is super informative and I am definitely following you! Thank you so much and I look forward to learning a lot from you!
Aww thank you so much!! ❤️❤️
the BEST video ive seen this has definitely been the most detailed and helpful. thank you so much!!
Kira thank you so so much and I hope you’ll continue to watch!! ❤️
She’s the best,!!! I’m also glad I found her😊
This is wonderfully helpful, thanks!
nothanksimgood Thank you so much for the compliment and also thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
Hello, I'm a new subscriber from Southside Chicago!! Thank you for this informative video, now I know why I've been assassinating, so many succulents,, everytime I repot them💔. I've been too tough on roots, water right away, & put in direct sun. Too many wrongs.. I was giving up on succulents all together... Hopefully they'll/I'll do better now with your tips ☀️
Veronica Sanchez don’t give up! My basic rule is lots of sun, and if they look good, no need to do anything...but never give up!!!
Hi I'm a newbie and learned a bunch today. I have had succulents over the years. I'm probably guilty of to much water. Now I see what not to do. Thanks a bunch for sharing your expertise with us😊
Nancy Austin We were all newbies at one point! Water is going to be your greatest enemy as you will come to find out. I’m so glad you learned something and thank you so much for subscribing!
I started buying succulents. They are very interesting. Your beginners video was great!
Thank you! And…Welcome to the addiction!!
I've watched sooooo many succulent videos. I've only subscribed to you. Straight to the point. Pleasant. Knowledgeable. I'm going to go watch your other stuff!
Thank you so much, that means a lot!! New video coming very soon :)
Such a great video! Thank you.
Tina Cruz-Lopez aww thank you!! ❤️
Thanks for the information. Looking forward to seeing upcoming videos. Would you also show us your greenhouse and yard?
I sure will! It may be at the end of this month though because I’m in the process of cleaning up the greenhouse and my husband is working on the yard
This was one of the most useful videos I've found! Thanks so much! Subscribed for more of your down to earth wisdom. 😊
Anya Taos Thank you so much and if you have any topic ideas that you’d like me to do a video on, please let me know! I want to cover whatever people want to see the most! ❤️❤️❤️
Great tips, water is succulents’ enemy! More succulents killed by overwatering than anything else, you learn the hard way!
Jane Vt. Exactly! I definitely learned the hard way when I started but I’m finally getting to know my plants and how long they can go without water. Seems like they all have different personalities! Thank you so much for watching also!
What can I do if I did watered it when I changed the pot?
Suhay Gonzalez I would just give it plenty of light and let it dry out really really well
Im so glad i found this video i am subscribing! My roomate and i each bought a succulent a couple months apart from each other. We both overwatered of course and they died. So i bought us each a new one a month ago. I had heard once a month watering so i learned about watering today. They were SO DRY. I bottom watered. They are tiny plants in tiny plastic pots but i have the twrra cottas that the other ones came in. Neither have holes so ill try to hand drill holes in them. Now i have to figure out what each one is, summer or winter growing. So much to learn but once you know, you know i guess.
Thanks for this! I am only 2 years in but I love this hobby. Great video!
Thank you for watching!! ❤️
Thank you for this information. I will definitely put this into practice.
Elizabeth Drumm you are welcome, and thank you for watching!! ❤️
This was so super helpful!!!! I learned a LOT!
Toni Broussard Thank you so much! It makes me really happy that I can help someone 🙂 And thank you so much for watching!! ❤️
New subscriber and this was a very good video. I have some new plants to do something with and I also ordered some. I hope to plant them in a raised garden bed I have. It is one I can bring in come winter. I live in Denver. Thanks for sharing!,

ansu They Canby Moody! The main thing to remember is to avoid overwatering. They show you when they are Thursday. I have a video on that also. Thank you so much for watching!
I literally just bought a Gollem 3 hours ago! Lowes has a great selection....I have bought 5 in the last week!
I haven’t bought a jade in at least a year up until the other day I found a cool one. This video was made awhile back. You should check out my new ones! :)

Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video, I am beginner with succulents plants, I am subscribing to your videos. I just repotted 2 succulents today & I hope they live. I have other plants but not succulents -- it goes against everything in my mind to not water when repotting.
Thanks for subscribing! I know it’s so tempting to water but just don’t ❤️ I’m sure your babies will live
Excellent video with lots of good information. I just subscribed and hope you will have many more. Thanks.
Thank you so much!!! I hope you keep watching - I plant to do list more! Also, if you ever have a particular topic you would like me to do a video on, please let me know, I’m always looking for things to make new videos about :)
