Early spring is the best time to rework your aeoniums! And while you're at it, check for pests. It's your Succulent Tip of the Day with Laura Eubanks at Design For Serenity.
Just started my first succulent garden and I just want to say THANK YOU for posting so many informative videos. I had no idea how much impact rocks and layout really make.
Hi Laura. I just love your programmes. I live in Cape Town, South Africa and we can grow succulents here. After watching your programmes I have attempted to redo parts of my garden. As I am not too steady on my feet on rocky terrain I have limited places that I can safely work on. We have had some rain in the past few days and I do not think that my new beds are going to be too happy about that. We will just wait and see I have so enjoyed watching you that I have told all my friends to watch - I know some have and been inspired carry on with your programmes
New subscriber here. I have an over abundance of Aeonium and have never known the proper way to clean them up. I am excited to get started. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You're so talented! Have a fabulous Sunday!
Laura you were my inspiration, I remember emailing you for a job haha, now ive got a succulent instagram with 9,000 followers showing off my succulents. Thanks for makin me start
I love your garden even when you think it’s a mess 🤣. Those Aeonium are so gorgeous. I just got my first Aeonium. It’s a tree with purple rosettes that have a green center . The leaves are very dirty . How do you suggest cleaning them ?
Hey Laura ! hope your having a super day . May ask for request for a video tutorial? Well I been going mad for your succulent sea shell planter with the bromeliad your featured in the video. Can make a video on how to create one for beginning to end . Please please! Thank you again for your tips . Happy Growing .
Hello, You have great videos and do really impressive work with succulents! I am in Escondido and you know what kind of very wet winter we have had in San Diego. My aeoniums really have seemed to suffer. They have always been in pots since they were tiny cuttings. They did great last year in Oceanside with a south facing patio succulent mix. However now after the rains and a move to Escondido in June of last year and against a south facing wall, they were looking bad, spindly and droopy up until two weeks ago. I moved them out of their pots to a raised bed north facing with a succulent mix. I had to prop them up with ties and stakes and so many branches broke in the process. Any suggestions to help them make it? I wish I would have put them in a north facing bed. Is tall and spindly OK or should they be short sand stout like me? Thanks for your time. Kind regards, Josh
Linda Brown sorry. I have an interest in finding succulents in Florida, as well. I have a friend in Naples that has been hitting surrounding nurseries with poor results. Let me know if you find any!

Question about the mealy bugs after I spray with alcohol, should I remove them from the sun? That’s what I’ve heard. But for how long to they need to stay out of it? A day? 2? Thanks!
I am new to succulents but have been gardening for over 30 years. I have to ask, would the roots with some bit of stem left on it make new plants after it's beheaded? It just seem like such a waste to trash them.
oldladytoofast some succulents will regenerate after beheading and I take advantage of those! The aeoniums featured in the video, spread like weeds and reproduce like rabbits. Once bloomed though, she's a goner. Did you notice how many pups I had after cleaning? Those will root quickly and start reproducing quickly. Best of luck with your succulents!
I LOVE watching your youtube channel! I wanna ask something, can I propagate the aeonium plants from the leaf just like any other succulent? So that once my aeonium blooming, I can use the leaf to propagate instead of throwing it to the dustbin. I hope you would like to answer my question. Have a nice day Laura!
You're so great for getting back to my question on a past video -- appreciate it! I'm guessing heavy rain will lead to rotting! Wish I could show you a picture of the area I wish to rework, got aeoniums and agaves to use around a blank rock area which is flat. Do you give design advice to your international fans?

joshua drake I’d cut them up and reset as cuttings again! Now is the best time to work with Aeoniums as cuttings!
@@LauraEubanks Thanks
I'd like to know, why did you cut off the roots and then planted it directly from stem ?
Love your Videos!! Thanks so muc for sharing. I wish there was a place to buy these big succulents here in Florida.... any ideas?
Linda Brown sorry. I have an interest in finding succulents in Florida, as well. I have a friend in Naples that has been hitting surrounding nurseries with poor results. Let me know if you find any!
Recently visited Key West, I noticed quite a few succulents there.

Can you propagate a sunburst aeonium from a leaf?
Brilliant! Thx.

ivone krissianni depends on the variety and time of year. Give it a try and good luck!
tried to find your link can you post it
Hello Laura...👍😘🇵🇹
@Laura Hi from Australia where June is winter, is it still ideal to do cut aeoniums like you have done? Mine have 3ft of legs! #tallproblem
Charmaine Brown now is the time! Just be careful of heavy rain before the cuttings root.
You're so great for getting back to my question on a past video -- appreciate it!
I'm guessing heavy rain will lead to rotting!

Charmaine Brown sure! Email me at designforserenity@yahoo.com
very helpful
Hat do you use for ants?
I wish I could take all the cuttings you r throw ing
Hi Laura 8) The aonium that was going to bloom and you cut off cant be plucked back in to bloom then discard? thanks
Nope😔
Didn't look like there was that many plants but wow. looks good now Is that bright red plant a Bougainvillea?
Willa Johnson yep! San Diego "Red"
Laura Eubanks Thanks I love this plant but have never seen one so RED. Beautiful, of course , it's one of your babies.
Cant you propogate from the leaves?
Sometimes. With luck and patience!
