After publishing this video and having another chat with Marie, I realised I made a few mistakes. One of which is that the L in her name is actually Luisa, I don't know where I got the Lourdes from haha! Also we got lots of comments asking to see more of the plants so we will be filming a followup video sometime. This time focusing on her collection!
Hahaha, the funny thing was that we actually filmed the packaging process, then we later decided not to include it because it's her business edge, and that it's better to remain her secret! 😂
Love this story Chuck! 💚 Funny ending there about the packaging. 🤣 Such a shame her husband didn’t encourage her hobby at the start. It’s a rewarding hobby to have. Her succulents all look so beautiful. Also a shame that there are those disgusting thieves out there. I saw on the news recently there was a guy going around Perth suburbs stealing peoples plants including succulents from their front gardens, loading everything into his ute. The police caught him thanks to security footage and returned everyone’s plants luckily.Same with some local nurseries I go to. People are taking the rarer and larger specimens. The lockdown isn’t helping the situation either.
Chuck what a great video! The tour is mouthwatering, of course. When you first started talking I was like "get back to the plants Chuck!". But then you kept going and what you had to say was fascinating. Her background really gave an insight into the way she runs her business. Love the stories and an explanation of the operations. Was so angry when you talked about the theft! Suggestions/ ideas for future tour videos: maybe do a bit of an interview format next time? Unless of course the other person doesn't feel comfortable. Also, as much as we love to see your smiling face, more plant footage please!!!!!!!!!! :) Thanks for making the video!
Next video is also another tour, and in an interview format and a lot more plants! Marie was a bit camera shy so we just recorded a few clips of her haha!
I liked this video very much! Thank you for making it, so few people show the details of the business and was actually very very helpful because I hope to have a succulent Nursery one day too and havent found anything like this on the subject matter. Thank you, keep up the good work!
Glad that you found it useful. You know what, maybe I can work on more videos like that, asking basic tips about putting up a nursery. Btw, the next episode (due Monday) is another interview with another guy who runs a nursery, you might like that one too! Like this video, I focused more on their origin story so I guess it would be nice to have more insight into the part about running the nursery.
Cerriscapades I've been seriously thinking about planning a trip to Australia. I want succulents! But sadly I probably would not be allowed to bring them home.... makes me so sad
To be able to carry them off, I'm thinking that it might be some sort of rodent... you'll probably have to verify if that's the case then maybe consult some pest/animal control companies?
If it’s chewing damage then probably rats or maybe even native animals. I have rats but so far no evidence of chewing as I also have 3 cats but after some research online I heard they hate peppermint and to use cotton balls soaked in peppermint oil which I’m using around my potted vegetables. I have leafcutter bees which have left perfectly round holes in some of my succulents but the damage is minimal so far because they prefer to use other leaves in my garden. That’s unusual that they’re carrying off the propagation leaves! Maybe set up a camera to catch them.
I still haven’t ventured into the eBay realm yet because my hobby is already quite extensive after just over 1 1/2 years. It looks dangerous but I bet I will once I see a rare one I need. lol

Marie sounds like such an amazing woman!
Yeah she is. She also never seems to run out of stories! Just as you thought you heard all of it, there's more!
Cerriscapades I've been seriously thinking about planning a trip to Australia. I want succulents! But sadly I probably would not be allowed to bring them home.... makes me so sad
Love your garden!
Yeah Marie has a lovely collection!
Hey, Chuck, does Maria sell succulent on line to Western Australia? I enjoy watching your vedoa
betsling sia hi, she uses Australia Post so I don't think she can send to WA due to the restrictions.
I am gonna check her Facebook now.... 2021 hope it's still there. Better late than never.
Have you ever lost a special or expensive plant?
Cerriscapades yes I lost one , and I can’t get the same species here next Saturday i looking to go to Tokyo , huge garden to find
WHY???hahahahh... I was actually putting my volume up for the last part.hahhah
"kahit bitin", it was a nice to hear a great story from a fellow cns lover. 😇
Haha ang dami niyang kwento! The raw interview was over an hour long, so I had to condense it.
Its always a shame when people steal your succulents, however its unavoidable.
Sounds like me now...😂😂😂
💪😂
You little devil!:)
😂
Like número 10
Glad you like it!
Something is eating my succulents, they carry off the propagation leaves and eat it. I found the stash. What is it? And how do I stop it?
To be able to carry them off, I'm thinking that it might be some sort of rodent... you'll probably have to verify if that's the case then maybe consult some pest/animal control companies?

She found eBay “ DUN DUN DUUuUuN”
I still haven’t ventured into the eBay realm yet because my hobby is already quite extensive after just over 1 1/2 years. It looks dangerous but I bet I will once I see a rare one I need. lol
Di talaga mawala yung mga tao kawatan
Does she ship to Hawaii???
Im losing my succulents to something eating them
She only does non-restricted states in Australia, sorry.
i thought that was your mother
Haha, I could pretend! Then ask for her plants 😂
Omg bitin😂
