Garden Answer Hello beautiful! I loved the video. I have a question about grow lights I have quite a large succulent collection and have noticed some are starting to stretch out so I am now looking into grow lights however I have no idea what I am doing from everything I have seen I am incredibly confused. I have a shop light what bulbs would you recommend?

Maggie Marion: I think the PM pops up in your notification bell icon up in the right corner? Otherwise, try the Google+ page, that is linked to your KZread-profile. I believe there's a messaging system there called Google Hangouts? I hope that helps - and congrats on winning!
I just started collecting and growing succulents for a little less than a year. So far I have over 200 individual plants and 150 varieties. So my home is overrun with so many plants. Im located in NJ zone 6, which means my succulents are indoors during the winter and outdoors in a greenhouse for the summer. Typically I water my echeverias, sedums, hawothias, etc about every 14 days, my cacti about every 21 days, and my living stones every few months. Please keep in mind that my soil medium is not the same as Laura's, its a grit mix of 2:1:1 of Pumice, black gold cactus soil, and perlite. Its a fast draining and airy soil. My living stones are in a Zero soil medium made of Pumice, surface, and gravel chips. During the summer I water my plants enough that the water will come out from the bottom of the hole, I do this because its usually very hot and it gives my plants enough water before drying out. Since they're in a greenhouse I try to control the humidity so I try to have it pretty dry inside. During the winter I water my plants just enough so the soil is moist and try not to water too much. Indoors isn't as hot and it takes longer to dry. Like Laura I also use a large syringe for my bigger pots and a small syringe for my tiny pots. They're located on wire racks with grow lights.
i'm actually obsessed with succulents. you start off with one and suddenly you have 72 in your bedroom lol

Right??? So addicting. When I started off getting into plants I was way more into foliage plants and never thought I’d get into succulents. But once I bought my first one I never looked back. 90% of my plant purchases are succulents now lol

You have no idea how grateful I am for all of the very helpful tips. You are a Succulent whisperer! Thank you for the give away :) P.S. I would love to see a video of you at the Succulent Source. A tour and tips from the family that own the place would be AWESOME!!
I just love succulents. It's like the only thing I can keep alive.
Wow, I water way too much. Thanks for the information I think this may save innocent plants. Lol.

The succulents are so neat and so many different types. I am amazed you can pronounce all their names and remember what each is. Thank you so much for all your videos. Great job...
It's humid in North Carolina, so I usually drench the soil about once every two weeks. When I had them inside under a light they were stretching and drying out so fast, so once I put them out side they have been doing so well. Our aloe just started growing pups!
Thanks for sharing all your ideas and knowledge with us. I recently bought a home and we are filling it with the ideas you have shared and of course DIYing them ! Thank you !

Thank you for being such a great virtual teacher! I always look forward to my cup of coffee and my gardening lesson! Loving the succulents and can't wait to try making a tiered succulent wire basket today!
Love it! I can never find good succulents in person but those are beautiful!
I've been inspired to make succulent arrangements. I have a beautiful one my wife loves at our front door. I've also made a small one that we gave to a friend. I would love to have more succulent arrangements to have at home and make then give to family and friends.

I had never really looked at succulents before. When I started watching your channel and listening to how excited you got receiving them and telling us how to look after them I had to go out and get some. Now I take cuttings and start them and give them to friends. Thank you for opening my eyes to this wonderful world of succulents!!!!!
I am so new to gardening and I am having a lots of fun with it. Watching the videos and learning about succulent plants gave me another perspective and I realized this’s my favorite plants. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
perfect video to watch with my morning coffee!!! love the tips ... feel more motivated to order online!!!

They have the most beautiful sculets I've ever seen. You really make them look even more beautiful on the way that you use them and arrange them. stunning!

I took all my succulent baskets down to my basement in November, put them all on a table under a led shop light, never watered once for the entire 1,2,3,4,5,6 months. They were shriveled a bit by the time I brought them up last week to repot new baskets, but all alive. I have since potted them all in their new baskets and they all plumped up, look beautiful, and they are all heading back outside tomorrow for the summer. 💗
Thank you for all that great information. What do you do with succulents that did start to elongate from the middle?

Move the plant to a brighter spot. Typically in a place where it gets 4-6 hours of morning light. This will help the plant to stop etiolation and continue to grow tight rosettes. You can let this grow but the part thats stretched will be weak. You can also cut the top (behead) and replant the rosette to another plant. Keep the stem where you cut because it might start to grow babies on the sides. Happy planting
I love ❤️ ur succulents they r so cute and I am always impressed and obsessed with ur videos . Please do a fairy garden with succulents😀😀
Succulents are so beautiful! My mom always loved them and had a spot just for them in her garden
Great video on succulents. I have had my jade tree leaves grow into new plants all on their own, once we found one we missed that had grown into a baby plant in a different pot! My grandmother, who was a houseplant fanatic, taught me to water my house plants once a week, I usually do the same will my succulents, but I give them less water. It keeps me consistent, so I don't forget.
Thanks for the tips, always helpful, I save you to Pinterest!

I finally found a common interest with my teenage daughter! We'd just unbox ed our first order from The Succulent Source last week. She showed the same enthusiasm as you in your video, perfect timing as I was afraid we'd put our first arrangement together too soon after arrival. Looks like our only mistake was watering too soon. We love your videos and have you to thank for turning us on to succulents!
I recently received succulents from my Aunt in Seattle. She literally dug some up right before my flight home to Alabama and they traveled in my purse. I can't believe how resilient they are and how easy they are to care for. I'm looking forward to adding more to my NEW! succulent family. Thanks for all the tips and advice. I enjoy your channel!
I like the long videos! Please make a lot of your new videos super long

Misti Tull the bad thing about arrangements is that they don't last. so if you want to keep your succulents I suggest having them potted normally.

I got so excited over the unboxing of succulents, I ordered several that very same day! Just learning but I think I’ve found a passion! Thanks Laura for the lesson. Here goes nothing!
I am experimenting with new succulent plants and watching all your videos for guidance. Thank you. This video was especially helpful.
I've been eyeing the succulents each time I go to the nursery. This might be the push I need to start a collection. So cute. Thanks for all the info.🌺
Its been a month now since i started collecting cactus & succulent and now feel like addicted now. Watching your videos with all the ideas inspires me & collect more funny but this is true.. thank you for sharing.
I'm just getting into succulents and love love love them. We bought a house with a little garden full of succulent and I didn't want my husband to destroy them because he wanted to concrete that area to widen the drive-way. So I rescued them - of course I knew nothing about succulents, so I'm learning through videos like these. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
My teen has started her first succulent garden - two plants so far. This gc would be a great gift for her!
Succulents!!! Wow, what a new and exciting additions to my garden. Thank you for all your inspiration and encouragements to explore new adventures.
Watching your older succulent videos were inspirational. Thank you.
I always love your videos! Succulents have been my first attempt at keeping any type of plant alive, and it's very exciting and empowering! It makes me feel like I've accomplished something every time I look at my tiny group of plants.
I have gained a huge interest in succulents over the past year and I have bought quite a few. the one I have the hardest time keeping alive is the string of pearls. But, I'm persevering with them because I have a project I want to put together. Thank you so much for all your knowledge on succulents, you have helped me out tremendously.
I love succulents. I live in Australia. We have hot summers where live so I am new to planting succulents so I love watching too see what to do and how to water and look after my succulents. Thanks.
Great advice and there is nothing better than getting plant mail! Also when it comes to watering depending on the weather I water once a week or every other week.
I can't wait to watch your videos every time you post! I learn a lot and trying to get more of a green thumb. I especially love learning about succulents

I've been inspired to spend more time in the garden ever since I started watching your videos last year!
As soon as I got to watch your videos, you immediately inspired me to go into succulent growing and arrangement. I posted in my Facebook page that I am selling succulent arrangements for only $5 each, I got a lot of orders. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
I love your table full of succulents, they are like jewels with all the varieties available.
I've been dying to plant some succulents but had no clue how to care for them! Thank you so much for your informative video! Can't wait to get some for myself now.
Thank you so much for the video(s). I've just started to propagate based on your recommendations and it is great seeing roots appear so soon. Keep them coming!

Thank you so much for the great info. I have been having a horrible time with my succulents. From what I gather from your awesome info I water too much and I think my South Texas morning sun might be too much for them. You have inspired me to give them another try. I just love all of your videos and look forward to each one. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.
thanks for the tips, I'm just getting started with succulents and this was very helpful.
I started a succulent collection thanks to this channel! :) it's growing!!!
You've encouraged me to try to grow succulents. I really like all the info you give.
Succulents are so easy and when they bloom they are such a beautiful surprise.
I bought the syringe you use and water my plants once a week using that. Depends on the container, if it is like the plastic nursery pots you are using here, I soak them and put them back under my lights. If it is in my terrarium I give just a light watering, same with my propagation tray.
I'm so glad you did this video I just ordered a lot of seldums & succulents. & I'm not ready just get to plant them. Thanks, would love to get more as soon as I can!!
Hi Laura! I love your channel. You inspire me to try new things and am always thinking of ways to improve my garden. I am currently in the process of propagating my succulents.
