Ma’am!!! You just helped me make my garden look so happy after 4 years of sad, sloppy succulent messes all over. Thank you thank you!!! I wish I’d known it was this easy all along, I would get overwhelmed just thinking about where to even start. But it’s been 3 months since I followed your advice here and the difference is like night and day. So glad I stumbled on this channel. Much love from New Mexico :)
I followed your videos and cleaned up my succulent yard. It looks amazing and clean. They were getting leggy and looked like a big hot mess and neglected. Once I had of them cleaned and trimmed all stems and replanted I got so many compliments by the neighbors. Your channel inspired me to up keep my succulent garden and keeping them nice and neat because sometime too much of something doesn’t always look attractive. Thanks Laura!!
Hmm la
For any newbies watching this: Unless your plant has rot you do NOT need to prune it what so ever. Succulents will always grow how they are supposed to, and only need you to step in if they are dying or diseased. You can prune them and cut them up, but you never need to. Just know that.
Maya Saya thanks I didnt know... now i will let them do their thing and not worry 🤗
Ya you absolutely do not need to. She is doing it in this video because she wants to maintain a certain look for the area (stems in this case do not look as attractive).
I agreed. It does not look like it was necessary for her to do that. It all looks pretty to me. Now she threw some to them away and it took 3 years to get that big
Beautiful! 🌴🤗🌴
Guys she’s a garden designer she need to keep a look for the arrangements she does 🙄
This video has such mixed reviews! If Laura has taught me anything it is to admire my plants but not be attached to them- hence why it’s so easy for her to clip and prune away! My heart was hurting but I think it’s so logical for her, she just trusts that good gardening care will eventually bring those plants back to flourish! Thanks Laura for these informational videos! Love love!
I understand as a professional she needs to focus on the end goal of making it look as cohesive and beautiful as possible, and it does look wonderful. I only have a private collection so I'm very attached to my plants, so I'm super careful. It's incredible what Laura can do but I'd never let her touch my plants lol if I had her job I'm sure I'd be the same way though, fast and efficient
y’all gotta understand the difference between *collectors* and *decorators* . Watch her other videos, she has almost *hundreeedsss* of succulents I’m sure scrapping one more isn’t bad!
I like big trunks and I cannot lie, you other gardeners can't deny, cause when a ovata walks in with an Itty bitty leaf and a round thing in your face you get green thumb.....
Jeremy McReynolds 😂😂😂
lol this made my day! :)
Lol 😂 😂😂
That’s some inspired garden rap!
😂🤣🤣
Jeremy McReynolds omg you clever scamp...very funny!
I love your gentle way of handling the plants. I love your recycling and saving as many as you can. Great video! Thank you.
I found that very interesting. I have lots of scruffy succulents on my balcony. I will tidy them up and taking the comments under consideration keep the stems for more babies.
Why do you cut the stems...isn’t it cute when they look like miniature trees 😭
My heart began to hurt when you threw those stems away:(
Just getting into gardening succulents and I've learned so much in just this one viewing. Thank you from the novice gardener......
Laura, watching this “later,” I love your no nonsense approach. “It bloomed, save the leaves, toss the rest.” YES! 😉👍🏼
Congrats on all beautiful succulents! I love them all and still learning how to take care them. Thank you for the nice video!
Thank you for getting to the business of trimming and propagating right away, many videos on this matter are all face time and blah blah and no action. Excellent advice.
Where is your dustbin?
I would love to owe all the stems you have discarded 😍
hi pretty you are beautiful and unique i admire you for that.
Me too I was about to say that😔
Hahahha I want that to happen too
My heart dropped when you threw the healthy stems away. 😢
Mine too. The stems were good.
What can you use a healthy stem for?
@Kurloz makara do you just leave the stem alone on a plate or on soil?
@Kurloz makara thank you so much, I'll try that!
ya, I was confused about that. I don't think you can just stick it back in the ground with no leaves. Don't you need leaves to grow it?
Awsome share, very nice 👍👍
No....don't throw them away....that can bring the succulent's babies after
Meas Kanika i would like to shout to tell her that too 😓
I have a HUGE succulent that has so many really long "leggy" stems.
Do I cut them off like she did or not?
What should I do to repot it?
I'd hate to kill it after years of growing. 😔
@@AnastasiaDaleiden you can cut off the head off. Let it sit somewhere shady or cool and dry for few days to calluse the cut end. After that you can put on top of soil, pot or ground. You can water when it grows new roots, about 3 weeks around this time. You will lose some of the bottom leaves because plant uses them to thrive while
growing roots. It is called be heading.
@@AnastasiaDaleiden You can also pot the long stems and roots from original plants they will grow new offshoots pretty soon.It is called stem propagation. Good luck
@@firouzehj.7612 Thank you so much! I will try it today. 😊 Appreciate it!
I enjoyed watching your work. So many ways to garden! I love it!!!
I started doing this. I like how everything is looking.
Wow, I am impressed! Learned a lot from your video also. I had to move into town from the country for my health and these succulents have become my new hobby. I love all the different colors! I did not realize these plants could just be trimmed, stuck in the ground, watered and would continue to grow. Guess I have a lot to learn!
Have to say, your husband is a very lucky man! Have a great day and thanks for the video.
I think I’ve watched this video about 30 times and each time it is so satisfying to watch!
Thanks! I watch your show all the time. Love what you do. I miss so many things about CA, I am doing my best in Utah to xeroscape, Not really sure what I'm doing but so far it is looking pretty good. I am sticking to mostly sedum and thyme. I root softer succulents for the summer. I hope I get cuttings before they freeze this year. It's hard because everything is looking it's best when I am supposed to do that. I will remember this video for inspiration. Anyway, keep up the great work! your fan, Kimba
Thank you for the tips . I have just started to love these plants
Hi Laura: I binge watch your videos and I am always in awe of how beautiful those succulents are and I wish I could have a garden like that. But, I live in Maryland so I am fairly new to growing succulents been just a few months. But, I long to get some of those beautiful plants to add to my collection. Enjoy watching you. LOL
Thank you, this was very informative. I just got a few pups and a few young succulents that appear to have grown out of being considered pups. If the succulents I got do well, I will eventually have to prune them and this video did a good job on how to do so.
Your succulents look amazing! so much to learn here.
😭😭😭 I cried when you threw away all of those stems, so many future babies lost...😭😭😭
Hells Belle right?!?!? My jaw was dropped. Nooo!! Mother stems need love too. 😢
Why did you throw away the stem nooooo
I knoow!
i guess if the mother stem is dead, have to cut it off
what do u do with the bare stems?
I wish you did more videos like this. I like watching you clean up and reset them.
This channel saved so many of my plants lives thank you
Thanks for making the scary chores so approachable!
you can also grow from the stems if theyre still green and especially the stumps with roots. theyll grow new plants just like the leaves do during propagation
Why can’t more people be like you in your approach instead of some of the people on here that comment passive aggressively 🙄
This was so satisfying to watch.
Your videos are so helpful. I have several succulents that are overgrown and not so attractive anymore, but I wasn't sure what to do with them. Thank you. I love your design videos too. I live in Fresno where it is very hot, but most succulents grow fairly well
Love your video . I'm new at this I'm glad I came across this video. Because I had a succulent that grew and the stem was thick and start falling , so I cut it and put in soil right way three days ago . I thought I done wrong after watching another video . ( it said something about let it dry out for few days first , so as watching your video I have hope that it will go :) because your plants n garden are soooo beautiful! , when u start cutting ..I was like Nooooooo! Omg they already beautiful , but they turn out even more pretty , I'm adding this video to my favorite .n each time I plant or check on them this will be my first video to come to first . Thanks again for schooling us . Lol :)
Always the best advice from you Laura! Thank you!
Hi, I'm just starting a new passion and its growing succulents and cacti. They are just lovely and stress reliever. Your videos are very helpful and at the same time challenging me to be patient with my succulents. Keep on making videos on how to's. Love lots, from the Philippines.
Se doesn't give the best advice. Do a little deeper research I can give you some pointers if you want.
This was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Thank you!!!!!! This video is a perfect step by step
I missed home as soon as you said La Jolla.😭Miss the beach terribly.Beautiful succulents.TFS💖
Wow what a beautiful collection..
Thanks so much for sharing, very helpful and you spoke so clearly, I just feel bad when binning the stem
Wow, I just learned a whole lot from you here. Thank you - now I need to get busy!
Thank you so much for your guidance.
Thanks for the useful tips! I love succulents
Just what I needed for my overgrown succulents!
APRENDO MUITO COM VC LAURA EUBANKS....SEU CANAL É SHOWW!!!
If you cut the stems into pieces and stick it in soil you'll have more babies!
True
Do they need to be kept in the shade for sometime?
I can watch succulent videos all day long!
Your garden is beautiful!!!!!
Awesome stuff, i learned a lot, thanks Laura.
I have learned so much from you. Thank you.
Thank you. This was so helpful.
Great video. This really helps with my succulents.
Waw!! I love the Succulent too, I have watched this video in full, it is wonderful and useful, I wish you good luck
Omg, I'm dying!! Your succulent garden is GORGEOUS!
Thank you very much for your teaching.
Great instructional video! I've never grown succulents before, but would love to get started. Your's are just beautiful and look so healthy! I live in the Pacific Northwest and we get a lot of rain here, so I'm doing my research to make sure I don't let them drown.
Can I buy some of you varities for propagating please?
Love your background music😍
Succulents with old trunks sell much more expensive in China. Dear, when you are cutting that, my heart's bleeding...
What makes succulents with old trunks more valuable?
Is it because they look elegant or bring good vibes?
Elegance, I guess.
no , those with the thick stem , they were sold as old ( mother plant ) , which makes them take longer time to form
I'm guilty of buying 2 old trunks. Basically had them planted to look like topiaries. They are quite the conversational piece.
Thank you for your video. Your very helpful and calm. I enjoy that peace you give. ")
I learned so much, thank you!
I love this colors is beaultiful!!!!
thank you for your tips I am doing tomorrow pruning fill more conformable.doinf in central Florida
This was so satisfying to watch
Oh my...... So beautiful!!
They are so beautiful when its properly arranged with stones !
Such masterful and quick motions! Amazing job!
yes, she is very fast at throwing good plants away !!!
Wish I got this much light all year long♥️
the red agave in backround is BEAUTIFUL
This is what I was searching. Thanks.
I'm so very very glad this popped in my feed! I've got 2 succulents for the first time and I was wondering what to do with the "blooms" and worried when one fell off. 🙈 I've got a lot of binge watching to do on your channel I see.
i love succulents... thank you so much for the tips..
Wow thank you so much! I had no clue what to do. My succulent was growing too tall and had too much trunk. The top had flowers but the stem itself was long and naked! I knew I might have to cut but I had no idea how. And I didn't know that putting the plants back in the soil will let them grow again!
That is completely normal, please don't cut it, rather plant something around it to clump it
@@hihosh1 why not cut it? Cutting and pruning plants promotes growth and vigor as painful as it may be for some to witness. Nothing wrong with cutting them back.
Thank you so much. Very informative.
Im new with these. So glad i saw all comments not to cut stems off. Just let them grow
Wow
I would have thought you put the huge stem into the soil as a new root system but you just cut it and chuck er in the bin
Any reason why?
Wouldn't it shoot out new roots?
Yes! It sure would have been viable. I’ve learned a lot over the last few years and am more sensitive to preservation now❤️
also you just don't cut the plant and stick it in the dirt. you have to let the root callus for a couple of days or the plant will die if you do not do that.
i Love this video. I want to watch it again and again and again.
I love your work very much,thanks.
i loved this they look so cool and are easy to take care of...
im taking care of my sister's succulents as she's off at basic army reserves bootcamp...she handled red phase well >-< but got stress fractures because i think i handled her cacti incorrectly...( i believe the cacti is her body pretty much...>^> )( we have 3 kinds, theres a flourished fanned out succulent i think is her soul and then theres a stiff but colorful cacti with petals wilting and a fetal positioned stone shaped into a woman with a succulent growing out of her head which i think of as her mind... )
Have a succulents at home loved it.😍
Very very helpful and easy to follow.
Succulent gardens look so nice 👍
thank you mom...love it
Very beautiful garden
Very helpful. Thank you!
This video is sooo relaxing
Extremely beautiful 🙏🏻
Beautiful succulent 👍
Awesome Thankyou Laura!!
hi mich you are beautiful and unique i admire you for that.
This was really helpful as I often find a lot of my succulents go straggly :-) thanks so much for sharing Laura and sending heaps of love and happy growing from Ireland XXXX
Desert Plants of Avalon Hi, I'm also following Laura from Ireland!
Did u leave any succulents out over winter? Mine are all currently stacked in my porch, any idea when it's safe to let the sensitive ones overnight outside?
Desert Plants of Avalon uod
Desert Plants of Avalon ,
they are supposed to look like that. Try using something to hide the trunk like a spanish moss or something
Hot sex
Dont trash the stems!!!!! you can regrow them! i died a lil when you said to throw it away 😢
this is so helpful!
Good video thanks I have learned super things
Thanks from Colombia!!!
you are a life saver.
What I particularly like about this is the information is compressed into a short video.
Thank you so much for the information...I'm going outside and cut some succulents
your succulent collection is beautifully..
Ayyye also make sure if you decided to do this you let your plants callus over where you cut them, it should take about a week. If you dont they will most likely rot.
