I don't believe they know much about succulents or the person could have asked for leaves to propagate 🤷🏽‍♀️

I don't know if you believe with this superstition but I do believe in this, I always ask for plants and always ask that the owner will personally take them from their mother plants and give them to me personally because I believe they have feelings too and will know if they are being stolen and will soon die in the hands of the thieves.

I'm very happy you were able to turn your loss into victory with new babies,, but I so disagree with the notion that you were in anyway to blame.. Someone trespassed and removed your plant. We should be free to beautify our property without fear of unethical people . I would like to think had they ask you, you would have given a leaf or two to the admirer.

She is to blame if her succulents are going missing. She should have had security measures in place, or done a better job protecting her property, which could have saved her succulents

That's so infuriating!!!! Oh to imagine my heart racing the moment I notice the plant gone! I've had mine eaten before so nothing was left but a single bare stem sticking out of the soil! I cried a little lol. I had been growing it for many years. I'm glad u were able to propagate the leaves.

Eaten by what?

WHAT. Aahhhhh. It sucks how people act sometimes. You shouldn’t have to be paranoid about theft. I would be tempted... _to take a photo!_ but then I saw how far your plants were set from the sidewalk and realized I wouldn’t dare step onto your property even for a picture of your lovely plants. Someone really had some gall. 😤 I had a potted arrangement stolen during the night once, and also one time happened to look out the window as a lady pushing a stroller yanked a tulip out of my garden and handed it to her baby when he cried out for it. I get that it’s a kid, but you’re also kinda teaching your kiddo to take whatever he wants without thinking about it. Unfortunately you might want to set up a security camera. Sorry this happened to you! This is the reason we can’t have nice things. Lovely that it turned into a happy science experiment though!

I would never think of stealing anything , but stealing a neighbors plant? That’s so plain shameless, anyway good thing you didn’t stay stuck in that bad energy and easily moved on from that , your good vibes got rewarded indeed!! You have beautiful garden congratulations, my succulents die because I don’t know how often you are supposed to water them , but I’m getting educated from watching videos like this . Thank you

I haven't had any plants stolen yet but a few years back someone (neighborhood kids, most likely) came up on my sidewalk, took a pair of empty small 1.5-2" pots I had sitting out for decoration, and shattered them on the road next to my driveway. One was painted with owls and the other had wavy patterns etched in it. I was less than happy. On topic, if someone were to ask me for a cutting I'd probably be happy to provide one. But outright stealing just saddens me. At least you had a number of leaves left behind and successfully propagated most from what you showed! Succulents never cease to amaze me.

plants, especially succulents and cacti being stolen has become a common occurrence in my place.. the sudden popularity of succies have apparently brought out the worst in some people,,

Excellent video, thank you! I bought a few "Hens and Chicks" a few months ago and I've literally neglected them but they're still thriving. I put one succulent in a small ceramic pot that doesn't have a hole so the poor thing was soaked in water out in the rain.. The plant looked bad I thought it was dying but somehow it's still alive and has little chicks.. I love succulents!

I hate that someone came and stole your plant, some people just don’t respect. I do hope your new babies get truly big. I love that purple colour 💜. I thank you for all of your great tips and also thank you for your free ebook, I am a beginner at propagating my succulents and I have not been successful so I appreciate all the tips and info you give out 💕🌱. I will also keep checking for your tweezers on Amazon as it is currently unavailable. Thank you. 😊

This way is very easy and

I love plants. When I come across I really like and is in someone's yard, I simply walk up to the door and knock. They may or may not answer. But when they do. I assure them I'm not trying to sell them anything and simply compliment them on their flowers. Then I proceed to ask them if I can have a clipping and they actually give them to me and they are more than actually happy to give them to me all because I asked it's that simple just ask you will be surprised how many people will actually give them to you. This method has never failed me and usually I swapped them with something that I have and they'll take it.

This was so helpful👍🏻 I still struggle with echeveria species): That’s putting it mildly; I kill them over and over again . Somehow when I gave up , one ( in a pot arrangement of Kalanchoe hildebrandt, chocolate soldier, and sedum salsa ) was thriving: Graptoveria opalina. I’m here at this moment trying to learn what I did right for this plant. I have leaf cuttings of it that are doing well too. I suspect that the light exposure and soil mix that I used in the past were not sufficient . In the three years since I started , I have researched a lot and now buy my own substrates to make the best home for each variety of succulent I buy. I have luck thus far with all Except Echeveria /: So thank you for this video again, it helped more than you know(:

Oh my gosh I think I finally identified my new succulents I purchased recently! I was thinking it was echeveria Debbie but after 1 month since purchase it is starting to grow upwards. Such a shame people will just help themselves to other peoples property. Luckily my house in in a cul de sac so not many people walk past besides the neighbours. Thank you for the useful information about more water for leaf propagations. 🙏🏽 I have 2 trays I will try this with now. It’s end of spring here so will make sure to water more often. They are still growing fast even with 2x a week watering.

For anyone wanting to buy these for a reasonable price and not for 20 dollars, search online, because they aren't an original product, just a rebranded pair of large industrial tweezers. Ofcourse buy the ones from chopsticks and succulents if you want to support the channel, just saying that there's an alternative that's not ridiculously overpriced

These trees are so beautiful it is used to decorate a green space. Thanks for showing me a good video. Have a nice day.

I can't believe that someone was awful enough to steal someone's plant, that's super disrespectful. Though having said that, I will admit that I'd actually kill to get such a beautiful plant! I've never seen it before, but the second you said its name, I started to google to see if I could find one online! Sadly there are none available around me, nor ship to me. Though it's definitely at the top of my wish list!

Thank you for your helpful videos! When growing babies from leaf cuttings, is it better to water lightly with a spray bottle or soak the soil completely? We're trying to grow them quickly to use as wedding favors.

Thanks for the information!😍

Very good advice on leaf propagation! It truly is awful that someone stole one of your plants - some people are just hideous... how can they ever truly enjoy it knowing that they took it from someone else? I don't think it's your fault though - you should have every right to put a beautiful plant in front yard and expect it to stay there!
