    Love learning more about succulents Laura! I had to laugh when you got your pen out to make the holes then promptly laid it down and used your finger! I do that type of thing all the time. Even bring gloves out to use them, seemingly unconsciously take them off, lay them beside me and get in there with my hands. Then when putting my tools away I need to go out and find my gloves! Lol. Merry Christmas and it was wonderful having my morning coffee with you today!

    Ah, this video brought back some memories! The first video I saw from you guys was a similar dismantling of a succulent arrangement. I was like "why is this lady killing these poor plants?!". I have been watching every video since, and I even made some succulent arrangements myself. You guys also inspired me to start my own garden. It's very eclectic, because I love just plopping down plants all willy-nilly, but with every passing growing season it gets tidier. Thank you guys for making my thumb a little greener one video at a time!

    I found your channel several years ago as I was searching how to make a succulent ball. The video was great & very informative however my arrangement did not turn out well 😢. But through my failure I have learned so much about succulents & landscaping from your videos. My mom who lives in Georgia (her garden is like the cover to a better homes & garden magazine) came up to NJ visit this spring and was so impressed with all my new plants & flowers. Everyone kept saying oh I can tell your mom was here & I said she was but this was all me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

It is so amazing watching you whether in your studio or out in the yard or just simply being with your family. You inspire me to be better at gardening and changing up old habits for new ones. I have you and Aaron to thank for the time and all the effort you put into helping guide others to be better at something that they might not have thought they could do. Thank you for all your time and thoughtfulness in the projects you air and the descriptions to follow, it not just useful but insightful, even for us avid gardeners and beginners alike. I pray you all shall have a porperous and healthy, wealthy and wise New Year.

    Beautiful succulent arrangement, Laura. Succulents are just so clean and tidy and interesting. Have you thought about possibly creating a cactus/succulent garden out in your south garden? That would be very interesting. Especially near a water feature. You could create an oasis of sorts…a rock garden around a pond with gravel mulch. That would be really nice. Since you are high desert there are probably a lot of cacti and succulents you could forage that would winter over. I have a huge Optunia in the front of my house in zone 6 New England. It gives me hundreds of yellow blooms on my birthday at the end of June every year. I adore it. It goes into dormancy when it gets cold and the pads shrivel, turn a reddish greenish color and lie down for their winter rest. Then in the spring the pads fill up and stand up again. I have read that there are some types of palm trees that will grow in zone 6 as well. However, we have a lot of rain here and as much as I love palm trees it was too much of a risky investment for me to try. I use BBQ tongs to clean out leaves and debris and weeds. Think about it, Laura. That would really be an interesting project….and a beautiful and different landscape feature.

      Yes I believe it does if a plant needs a dormant time it applies when it’s under a grow light as well they will go dormant regardless they can’t tell the difference 😁 so no fertilizer in the winter and less water .. also there are some succulent types that are active growers in the winter that do need water and fertilizer depends on the species

I didn't know how to propogate with leaves either, so that's been super helpful too. Might just have to get myself a bag of cactus mix and get things growing if you will. Cheers! 🤗🪴

    The timing of this video is perfect Laura. I was given a gorgeous succulent planter in Sept. and a few of the plants have died, I tried adding some red berries for Christmas time to hide the poor things. I love the look, and had just decided I was going to dig in, take out the roots, and figure this out. I think the soil, which seems like the right type, is mounded up too high as the water drains off onto my table. question; if I take cuttings how long to I leave them to form a callous? also, the garden center did not use a planter with any drainage. that seems like a problem. #notgivingup

    This takes me back years ago when I was searching YT for succulent videos and found your channel, back in your townhouse. I still love succulents but now I garden too. Thank you for all the wonderful, educational and inspiring videos you've created over the years!

    When you put a bunch in a single pot, do the roots get tangled to where you can’t pull them apart?

    Where's the best place to buy succulents for a project like this (garden nursery, online)? Are they expensive to purchase? I've never purchased a succulent before

    I really love how these look. I’m gonna keep my eyes pealed for containers that would work for a project like this. My daughter does similar things with African violets. She now has dozens where once there was only one.

      An African violet video would be awesome! They are so whimsical and colorful in a mixed variety arrangement. For me I find them a little fussy but I’m probably doing it wrong.

    Will any of these succulents grow tall seeking light? The only thing that keeps me away from succulents is the weird growth when they grow upward. Then you will see a long stem with some leaves at the top.

    OMG I’m I sunny Queensland Australia and we are lucky to get 3 months in a tight scape like that. We like to place “babies” spread out and in about 6 mths we have to re-do the pot because they have grown too big and have their own babies. But I am totally inspired by your design Laura and might put a little more creativity into the next one. Thank you lovely 😊

    Question unrelated to this video but I have heard you refer to vases that have a ‘frog’ all through out your videos over the years. I have been wondering, what’s a ‘frog?’
    Thanks! Dana from Texas

    Is there any rhyme or reason to which succulent leaves you put upside-down to propagate?

    Y'know, when all my friends started going off to university and getting their own places, it seemed like everyone was collecting succulents and I just didn't "get" the appeal. Seeing the lovely arragenemts you put together and all the varieties you have has completely changed my mind! I know there are a million things you could do this with, but would you ever put together a timelaps of the succulent leaves growing?
    Cheers from Galway! 🍀

    Can I move my succulents to full sun in the spring or do I need to consider the sun burning the plants?

  • @peggyfleming656
    @peggyfleming656 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Oh no. You are not getting me started on the succulent thing again! A few years ago watching your succulent videos, I became obsessed with them. Of course, it was winter. I learned you could get them by mail order if you paid for a heat pack to travel to Iowa. I spent some money that winter and learned a lot about succulents. They are very interesting, but I also learned that I don't have space to grow a lot of varieties and there are only a few that I really like to grow. It is all good. Somebody else might find a new specialty. It is easy to watch you and want to try what you are growing, but as viewers, we need to realize that not everything is going to be for you. I now know that I "do not prefer" growing cacti or most of these little succulents indoors in the conditions I have available. Again, that's okay. You do a great job showing how to grow all kinds of things and enticing us to try. I just want to grow everything!

      I hear you, Peggy! Last year I spent a lot of money buying succulents at Del's Garden Center (in Spencer) but I ended up killing most of them. I think I'll just leave that endeavor to others and just enjoy watching Laura do her "projects". 🤣

    Laura your channel always teaches me knew things, for one: I grew up thinking succulents were always fake plants...LOL - after watching you for years now I have a new respect for them and want to try them as a house plant. :) Love your channel and look forward to watching every morning (now M-F and on Sundays) while enjoying my coffee and planning out my garden.

    It was obvious how much I talk about my favorite gardening channel to friends and family throughout the year based the Christmas gifts I received ---- A hoselink, a pair of felco pruners, and a metal tub to make a raised bed 🤣💚🪴 -- I am excited to put them all to use and so thankful that I ran across your channel last year when searching how to make fresh Christmas garland. Thank you for doing what you do! Praying blessings over GA and your family in 2022. ❤

    Could you explain the difference, if there is one, between a cactus and a succulent? I've always thought the terms cactus and succulent were interchangeable. Love your channel!

    Love love love succulents, but umm rooting from leaves "takes a LITTLE while " . Understatement or am I a pathetic rooter? A year later my babies are so tiny and only have 3 leaves each. Really not worth it unless u have a dedicated spot. I'll keep at it but I dunno......

  • @Daffodils2Daisies

    Good morning from sunny Florida🌞.
    Your succulent dish is beautiful and a good idea to put a charger underneath your dish. I love growing succulents, and I can grow them here all year long outside. I do have to deadhead some of mine even if they have proper lighting, some of them get so leggy.
    Have a wonderful day🌞❤🏝
