What should I do if I have leggy succulent? It is in a mixed variety container that I rescued from a big box store.
Hi Amanda, you will have to cut it and replant it. Unfortunately, once it’s leggy, it’s irreversible. Cutting it is the only workaround. The good news about it is that the stump will grow new buds. The cut part can be replanted and it will become a separate plant. Thank you for the question. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
What kid of soil do you use
Hello Lisa, I started using regular garden soil instead of the fast draining mix that I have used in the past. They seem to like it better. In fact, if you dont have access to regular soil that you would find in backyards, I suggest non-fast draining mixes now. So just the regular potting soil mixes. I explained why in my latest video. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
OMG IM SO GLAD YOU'RE BACK
Hi Lexi! Thank you so much for the kind comment! Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! Best of luck in all your endeavors! 🙏❤️💫
Stay cool, my friend! Stay bright! 😊❤
The flowers look cool
Thank you for the comment! Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I didn’t expect to go home with more succulents after attending this Latin-themed birthday party!!! 😊 I dont mind at all! 😆😜❤
Thank you very much for this episode! My wife recently passed and now it is my turn to take care of the succulents that our daughter gave her. I had no idea how to water them until I watched this. They have been shriveling up although still alive. I did not know if I was giving them too much water or not enough. Now I know what needs to be done.
I’m so sorry for your loss. That’s unimaginable. I’m so glad I was able to help. Wishing you blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Nice video thank you for sharing.
You’re welcome and thank you so much for the comment! Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Hi Sheila 🥰 Pardon my absence. So much has been going on, as summertime does for me. I'm also into taking care of all my landscaped areas, plus I have my "bird sanctuary" landscaped for my songbirds that I provided for, starting 5 yrs ago. It's lovely, and Yes, giving back to whom provided All of This for us to See, Feel and Love ❤ AMEN! Thank you on your succulent expertise, and love your sharing the beauty you see! 🙌 I've been to many Botanical Gardens but will suggest Lincoln Park Conservatory here in Chicago, and Phipps Conservative and botanical gardens in Pittsburgh PA. Truly lovely. Look them up, to see! 🙏🌿💚 Lucky we are. Aren't the Hummingbirds such a tiny beautiful & colorful Gem, that he's blessed us with too!?! Love love love. Take care 🤗
Hi Gina! Oh, no worries at all! So nice to hear from you! It's great to hear about your bird sanctuary! 😊 I love birds, too! Yes, aren’t we so lucky to have all these beauties in nature for us to see?! Summertime is always fun time! Wishing you the best in all your endeavors! Stay happy! Thank you so much for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
😍 Likewise Sheila. Will do, my friend!
Such adorable leetol calico babeys!
Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Oopsies! Somehow this comment got on this video instead of a different one. I guess I’ll keep it here to help boost this video for the algorithm haha!
Kubota Garden in Seattle, Washington is beautiful during golden hour! I had the pleasure of going there in late March, right when everything started blooming. I don’t know the names of many, but Portland, Oregon has some beautiful gardens as well. I believe the most popular one (for very good reason, it’s gorgeous!) is the Portland Japanese Garden. Definitely check out the others too though! The rose test gardens look beautiful just from pictures (I did a quick google maps search to find the name of the one I mentioned before). I don’t think I’ve been to more than just the Japanese Garden in PDX, but they all look gorgeous in pictures
Thank you so much! Those are great suggestions! Thank you for watching this video! You have no idea how much it means to me! ❤️ Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
It feels so good to be back! I think I’m back for good! So many good things are happening to me, and I would love to share them with all of you, my dearest viewers! A few weeks ago, I tried changing the theme of my channel, and I didn’t like it. I didn’t feel like I was being myself. I posted three videos with that theme, but I’ve already taken them down, which is why you won't find them. 😅 I intend to post more often. I’m keeping my fingers crossed on this. Anyway, thank you so much for watching and, most of all, spread the love! ❤️ ❤❤❤
Welcome back!! A fantastic video, with a fantastic message, makes for a fantastic comeback 🤗
@@rainbowbutterflyfanAwww! Thank you! Again, more blessings, love and good health to you! 🙏❤️💫
❤
I made a huge mistake of watering all my succulents at once because it was more than 12 days and my echeveria pallida fell apart from it's beautiful rose shape. This lead to overwatering as some of my succulent still had water and I lost 4 of my beautiful varieties it heart breaking but a lesson I will never forget. Wish I found this video sooner
Sorry to hear that! I have killed a lot through my learning process too. There’s always something new to learn everyday anyway. Thank you for sharing your story. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Will the baby sprout still grow in its own pot if it's been removed from its main petal (leaf)?😢 I think I may have transferred it too early. The mother leaf was drying up a bit.
Hello! It might still survive, but I have to admit that it can get really tricky from here. How big is it right now?
Thank you so much ma'am for sharing this video, now I have idea for snake plants, Have a great day!
You are so welcome! Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I would like to ask you what is this succulent ? and is it a succulent? I have never seen these before in a store or even in another video of succulents, but I replanted them as I would do any succulent, but if this is not, can you tell me the name of this is? My husband bought it at a garage sale for me….. It had mostly rocks in the bottom, but when I pulled away the rocks there were so many babies. I couldn’t believe it so I replanted them. I hope I did the right thing !!! Thank you Debbie no
Hi Debbie! Which one are you referring to? Did you try to send a photo? If so, I didn’t get it. I dont think there is a way to send a photo here. There are plant identification apps that you can also use. If you are referring to my leaf propagations, the answer is ‘yes’. These are all succulents. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
You are inspiring - thank you!
You’re welcome! Thank you again for the comment. Wishing you even more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
So impressed, you must be a wonder-woman, so many beautiful succulents and an immaculate home!
Thank you, Jan! I try to be. 😅 Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I currently have 3 dying succulents
Oh, I hope you’ll be able to save them. I hope this video helps. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Thank you...your videos are extremely helping.
You’re welcome! Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

Do succulent plants need direct sunlight?
Hello! Not all succulents need direct sunlight. Most aloes and haworthias are better off being in the shade. They really do well as indoor plants. I’d say some need direct sunlight and some dont. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Thank you! 🙂
When watering succulent plants, what type of water should be used?
Hello again! 😊Any type of tap water would do. My Mom would even use the water that she would use to wash her rice with every time she cooks steamed rice. Thank you again for the question. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Have you tried to use NPK granular fertilizer dissolved in water for watering succulent plants? Is it advisable?
can it work on mexican mint and how long will it take
Hello Shane! I’m not too sure if it will work on Mexican Mint. It might be better to propagate it using stem cuttings. Thank you for asking a question. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
ohkk i save some other videos with person doing it but it seem it take long than the cutting @@SucculentFame
Thank you so very much. Peace and blessings
You’re welcome! Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Came for plant watering. Went with a TED Talk!!
I hope it’s still a good thing! Feel free to ask me any questions about succulents. 😊 Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Thanka for the video! I just bought a split rock that had already bloomed and has the stalk left. Should i cut that or just leave it to wither? I watered it the second day i got it. I was a little worried but i know they just sit there in the stores unattended and needy. Im just impatiently counting the days till i can repot it! I figure I'll give it a couple weeks to recover from moving, blooming, watering.
Hello! Congratulations on having flowers on your split rock. Just let the stalk wither. I normally just leave mine until it’s very withered. Withered and dried stalks are easier to pluck. There shouldn’t be any resistance at all. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
My succulent plants leaves are falling what can I do ?
Hi! Are they indoors or outside? If you suspect that they might have been overwatered, I suggest that you dig it out and let the roots dry out for a day or two before replanting it. If it was underwatered, just make sure that the soil is very wet and it will rebound. Please check underneath your soil. If your soil around the root area is wet, it’s likely that your succulent is suffering from overwatering. Let me know once you’re done checking. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I really enjoyed this video ' glad I learnt so much from you ❤
Thank you so much for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
@@SucculentFame 😊💖
All my plants are drowning!!! My whole house is flooding!! Please help a fellow planter in a desperate time of NEED ! They want 1200$ all together and i have zero!!! $StacieBarboza or @Stacie-Bowles Floods sucks!!!
Hello, I have an eccevaria that WAS stupendous last year. Now it looks like it’s dying. I watered it recently thinking it was dry.
Hello Helen! If it’s been raining out there, there’s a big chance that it’s been overwatered. The only hitch is that overwatered and underwatered succulents look about the same. It’s been raining out here in California. Im guessing it’s also been raining where you are at. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Thankyou for your video, it helped me so much🍀
I’m so glad to hear that! Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
How many weeks for water prop ?
Hello! It may go as long as 8 to 12 weeks. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Waiting for my first pack just made my medium and placed it in a 8by10 inch baking tray going try to start 200 in it out of the 800 mix pack i ordered.
Wow! That’s sounds like a really awesome project! Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I have small white things like a ball of webbing on my echeveria, do you know what it might be and what to do? They are sticky.
I’m not an expert, but I think 70% alcohol can still kill whatever is forming those. If they don’t seem to affect your succulents, it might not be worth killing. If they seem to cause deformed leaves on your succulents, then you might not have any choice. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Very helpful tips and tricks. Thanks for sharing 👍 Very much appreciated 👍.
Thank you so much for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I wish you would have mentioned that when propagating from cuttings any variegation on the mother plant is lost because it reverts to the original form. The only way to continue the variegation is to separate the original mothers naturally occurring pups
Thank you for the feedback. I actually didn’t notice at first that the variegation was missing ‘cause the offshoots were still too young. Thank you again for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
When do you put it in soil may I ask?
Hi Marina! It totally depends on your preference. Just make sure that the new sprouts are big enough. Maybe when they’re about 6 inches in height. My first one got chewed up by our dog when she was still a puppy. I propagated another batch and it’s been in water for almost two years now. Thank you for the inquiry. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
The succulent wreath is stunning
Thank you for the comment. It was so satisfying to make. 😊Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
I love succulents❤ many thanks for care info!!! 😊
Thank you for the comment, Teena! Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
in which season we grow leaves and grow from cuttings
Hello! I have done it at any point in the year and it seems like they still propagate regardless. Thank you for the inquiry. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Hi Sheela I hope you're doing great 👍 I was just wondering whether succulents can be rooted in perlite? And whether they will suffer from being overwatered when sitting in moist perlite and I mean the stem with no roots.
Hi! I dont think it would be good idea to do it in perlite, unless it’s mixed with soil. This is just based on experience. I’m not an expert, but perlites are just way too light. Thank you for the inquiry. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Update on coco peat for big pots?
Hello! I have transferred all of my succulents in the ground. I’m working on my update video. I just hope I’ll be able to finish it soon. My apologies for the late response. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

You are so sweet. Thank you 😊

Your best advise is never give up. try & try again till You Secede.
Very true! 😊My apologies for the late response. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
If you can get rain water consistently where you live: Cool. I find a much more easier way is to treat your tap water like you would your fish tank water. A bottle of aquarium water treatment is cheap and will last you a very very long time. You only need to apply 0.5ml of it per 4L jug of water. That will remove the hard particles in your tap water and my plants love it. Just as good as rain water I'd say.
That works, too. My apologies for the late response. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Wondering if you have made it to succulent fame yet? 🤩 i have just started my succulent journey and want to say thank you for such great videos. I have been binge watching because they are so motivational. Best wishes to you wherever you are now 5 years on!!🌵🏝
😆😂 Not quite, but I’m getting there. I’m working on my next video, after 4 to 5 years (I think) of hiatus. My apologies for the late response. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Welcome back and good luck 🍀🌵🍀🌵🍀🌵🍀🌵🍀
Thankyou. Succulents are so hard to judge, I have little problem with my Cactus. nearly all are with succulents. Also birds love to eat bits of them too 😔
Yes. They’re supposed to be low maintenance and drought tolerant, but they got a bit complicated because of the soil and containers that they come in. My apologies for the late response. Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
Great end message! Great video!
Thank you for the comment. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫
