[@shirleytanueco6752]

Hi Laura I’ve been watching you w/ all your arrangements & landscaping. And you’re my inspiration in my gardening . Thanks for your great talent that U share.

[@Marcinha-qr3hi]

Super charmosa essa composição de sanseveria, bromélia e suculentas! Parabéns!❤🇧🇷🌵🪴🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Kuttysinaustralia]

I love it! I find that the Fred Ives looks red and prettier while in the sun. But, as you mentioned, try and see how it goes. Thank you dear Laura for this gorgeous potting! Looks beautiful

[@sairashmipatra5220]

Dear Laura, I have always loved all ur succulent vdos n the magic u bring into ur work. If we hav learnt so much by just watching ur vdos... I wonder how much Hannah must hav learnt from u! I will always keep loving her work n my good wishes to her for her future projects.

[@gloriamodestosoto5368]

Laura hermosos jardines q asen felicidades.

[@BobiJadue]

I saw that blue pot and I was instantly in love -- but after seeing the final result OMG!! STUNNING!

[@robingrunzweig3940]

i love that blue pot, and actually have it on my list, lol... waiting for the heat to dissipate first.... beautiful instant pot for the porch!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@mariaborza1418]

Love this pot 💙💙💙 and yes, I am over the moon to see Fred 😂🥰🥰🥰

[@zuez2000]

I just love you and all you do😍 wanted to say that. God bless you and your family.

[@candymorales1911]

Laura thank you for all your helpful tips. I enjoy watching your videos and have a beautiful Day.

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing succulents arrangements lovely

[@nellieterrones8758]

Love it Love it Love it! Laura you inspire me so so much. Where were you all my life. Now I’m retired and trying to learn about succulents. Your videos are so helpful. Thank you. Keep em coming. And tell Hannah she’s terrific too. Wish I had a Greg. LOL

[@normaalmeraz511]

The pot looks great!!!! The rain drops will do great there! I have one in a semi shaded area and it has tripled in size and length! I love it!!

[@susanhensley2038]

You are my life goals.....Tucson is still as hot as can be.....love the blue pot!!!! Loving the shade ideas!

[@colleenhowe9074]

Beautiful potting Laura

[@marcivonfeldt3301]

Love this arrangement. I think I tend to over plant so take my next comment in that light…lol. I would have added another Fred Ives in the front corner next to the house. That would be ‘me doing me”! 💕💕

[@janetyamashige9573]

That pot is such a lovely shade, and it picks up your accent color from your back yard perfectly!

[@jillstutz4191]

I'm always amazed at how many plants you're able to get into pots or a small space.

[@patriciajohnson9299]

I have to remember to remove most of the soil the plants come in & save it. That’s one of the key tips to fill your Container Pots with Plants not excess Potting Mix.

[@wendywhite6243]

Just love it Laura! Was just waiting for one more Fred Ives in that left hand back corner tho!!

[@lizadams6227]

I’m inspired! Once this heat goes away I’ll be anxious to play with my plants again. I have a hodgepodge of plants that I think would look better if I combined them in some fresh pots. Looking forward to measurable rain, fingers crossed!

[@nancytoomey8820]

Wow That pot turned out gorgeous

[@MIchelle-cairn_mom]

Ty sharing shade arrangement! never thought to mix broms & sans, great tip

[@Happilyretired65]

Another gorgeous creation!

[@carolinamadoniam4070]

Hi, I am new in your channel and I must say your garden installations are wonderful and I really like most of the variety of succulents that you use, although I am not a big fan of cactus yet. This arrangement you made is beautiful but from personal experience with the purple tradescantia and the fred ives, those are a full sun bright light type of plants and they will strech as much as possible to reach it, I wish I could show you a picture. Both are fast growers.

[@dl7608]

i have a very similar arrangement inspired by you by my front door but used a ric rac cactus for my spiller.... love it!!

[@bethmckinsey114]

Beautiful planter!

[@sandy-rm9ds]

Tratiscnthia and bromeliads and Sansavaria grow great in my South Florida pots also. Love it Laura.

[@pattykelly6621]

I think we all need to get used to this kind of heat. Where I live, we had 60 days of temperatures above 100 degrees between April 1 and August 31. We need to think about or install shade before planting a garden. Fortunately I do have a large shaded patio that faces North, so shady most of the day with some dappled sun in the early morning. It's not my property or I'd be planting more trees. Beautiful shade planter. I love blue planters. Thanks

[@Fabdanc]

That tradescantia is a beast and roots are definitely optional with it. A great succulent compatible and can tolerate absolutely baking heat with minimal water... Will take a hard freeze too!

[@marthahernandez191]

This color combo is great! Thanks Laura💚🌵👍

[@marissagall6997]

Magnificent as always 😁👍❤️

[@kathynguyen3622]

It’s beautiful, Laura!

[@Sisteryoda1440]

Love. This!! I have never seen such a beautiful snake plant (MIL tongue). Gorgeous arrangement. 🤩😍

[@sirilukduke7906]

I follow you and appreciate all the tip that you gave me an idea for me who love succulent garden

[@mariacarrillo6958]

Hi there, beautiful arrangement!! It’s been in the 100s in Sacramento...today it’s 113 degrees....my poor 300+ succulents, but I’m always watching your videos that motivate me to continue with my collection and love for succulents 💚💚💚

[@MsKylea]

I live the Sansaveria!! I collect all varieties and have leaned that they love North Texas heat. I get the best growth during the summer. As a house plant they thrive off neglect. Outside, during the summer I find myself watering every other day!!

[@denisedelgado3350]

Looks terrific! 💙

[@marisolresendiz-garcia573]

Beautiful!! I’m always amazed at how much beauty you can create in such a short amount of time!💕💕

[@amyjones2490]

Impressive arrangement!

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

Absolutely beautiful! great job!

[@1craftladytoo]

That is gorgeous!!!

[@mariezapanta8839]

What a beautiful succulent arrangement for the shade, I will try to recreate this.♥️♥️♥️

[@thelmahall2593]

tyvm for writing the plants down, ive never heard of the tradescantia, i live in Canada, and its been really hot here all of August and so far in Sept. its been high 35-40 Celcius!

[@loissaedder2214]

It's used a lot here in Queensland in new build gardens. I always think of it as a weed. I don't like it at all.

[@lethaduguay6705]

Amazing indeed 💕

[@godandgardening]

This looks so beautiful! I hope you don't have air circulation issues! I had to dialed way back on my watering under my porch cuz they weren't getting enough air circulation to support it

[@marilynrich]

Looks great! 💚💚💚

[@mairzeedotes2067]

Love that big blue shade pot. I would change the red pot to some other color for that combo . Also i would put the head planter up on something. It seems strange to see a head sitting on the ground. Lol

[@LauraEubanks]

Raise the head planter….great point! Thanks!

[@ceciliatorres1882]

Another gorgeous arrangement. Love the Sansevieria and Bromeliad combo. I'm gonna totally copy this arrangement 💕🤣

[@brunojones2308]

Blessings to all!

[@LindenRanch]

Sanseveria make the best shady porch arrangements. The bloom fragrance is incredible too.

[@cindygrim3060]

I think it is perfect

[@sandrasullivan2636]

Hi it’s amazing how much you can get into that pot. It’s stuffed,and looks great

[@denisehowie3716]

Wonderful shade arrangement. My first memory, while still in a crib, was watching my grandfather plant sansevieria in a huge ornate Italian planter. 🥰 On another note, the lactea crest will look much better in a different color pot, IMO. I have mine in a teal container but sticking with your blue would work very well. Today is day 10 of triple digits. Relief coming tomorrow.

[@williamkallenbach7461]

More is more................That's my motto too ! 🙂

[@jenniferfinch8929]

Those aeoniums make it!

[@jungleflowerscanada5384]

Love it, I'm so sad that I have to start bringing in my plants for the winter. 💚💚💚

[@davidmcclure8227]

Laura mentioned she would be watering this shade arrangement once a week. My question is how the Sansevieria will fair? I’ve been hesitant about mixing Sansevieria’s with other succulents bc I thought their watering needs we’re so minimal. Big fan of all the beautiful work everyone on this site does.

[@nicogs97]

Lovely

[@paolagiammo3448]

GORG As always.

[@sarahthomson8183]

GORGEOUS! I'd get rid of the red pot there, tho. Very distracting to the eye. Maybe use the small pot from the backyard with the dead/dried out little cactus?

[@LauraEubanks]

Ha! I thought of that, too! Just really love the little pot in the back where it is🤔

[@bethmckinsey114]

Tell us more about planting Bromeliads in the shade. Only thing that grows in out front yard is asparagus fern. Thank you!

[@milagroperez6053]

Amazing arrangement I’m getting in suculenta I leave on Vegas is always hot 😊

[@legendarymayormarylikestur8874]

The absolute charm of San Diego is... after 9 days of heatwave, we will get torrential rain. 😖 Hoping my succulents remember that they love rain!

[@ceekaylongbeach]

I may move sun umbrella over some of them.......💚

[@carlarivas1238]

Hi Laura - you always tell us that you keep your dirt. What about the dirt from a plant that got root rot? Is the dirt contaminated and should we toss the entire pot of dirt? Love your videos. I live in Bakersfield - super hot here!

[@kylablack8990]

LOVE this arrangement! Is "Raindrops" also known as "String of Tears/Beads"? Thank you so very much for all the great info.

[@marlavm]

One day I have to check out that senecio. I've killed every string of pearls and would love to see if the hybrid is better suited to my 9b zone.

[@alesiafigueroa9226]

Beautiful arrangement Laura!💚😍🤩 Since the aeoniums and Fred Ives are cuttings would you wait awhile to water the arrangement?😊 If you decide to use the blue pots near the garage wall it’s gonna look so nice‼️❤️💙🫶🏽

[@GrowInContainer]

We have 118 in may and jun this year.

[@lizacarle7334]

Laura do you ever do pot arrangements inside?

[@donnabronner4837]

Well, I underpot so that blue pot looks packed to me. Will you leave it outside in winter? What is your low temp in winter?

[@LauraEubanks]

Rarely dips below 40F

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Do you put anything under the pot or a stand since we have hard water in CA the water has turned my porch with calcium spots and it’s hard to come out . Any suggestions

[@patriciajohnson9299]

I add a Saucer to keep water from staining my Deck. Clear Plastic ones are also available.

[@LauraEubanks]

Waterwise doesn’t offer saucers so I’ll have to go after market.

[@nicogs97]

My pots also stain the floors. It’s the worse!!!! I love the look of pots hitting the floor so I have been avoiding putting saucers. They do sell some saucers in the shape of pizza slices and I’ll consider putting those.

[@MIchelle-cairn_mom]

Try a plant caddy w/plastic tray. Then it’s easier to move pots for maintenance too ;)

[@jillblair2351]

I wish the tradescancia was placed in front of the bermiliad, I'm not sure it will perform like you want it to, mine are more of a trailing plant or siller as you say.

[@goingslightlymad7172]

I'm curious to see how this arrangement grows and thrives. I always kill Snake Plants and String of Pearls (not intentionally ). :( Maybe I overwater?

[@graffic13]

Laura your freaking NIKES are so cute!! #coolkicks Gonna say this is more a " bright indirect light" arrangement as apposed to " shadey" J/S😉

[@zizarazzaq9888]

❤️💚❤️

[@ceekaylongbeach]

Silly 😜 question....I would guess that Laura has a drainage hole in all her pots? Does anyone else use pot feet to make sure potted succs get enough drainage? lmk please

[@LauraEubanks]

Pot feet are great! Waterwise doesn’t offer saucers or pot feet, so I’ll have to go after market for that!

[@beadybugg]

Get some starfish catus for the back. Mine are in bloom right now and everytime I look at them I think of you.

[@PipMiister]

🌸

[@dorindajenkins7825]

🙋

[@marlenyperezvlogs9006]

❤🙏🏼

[@karenmccants1439]

Looks awesome, Laura!! I kept wanting you to add a couple more Fred Ives over on the left! From our viewer angle it just seemed like it needed it...but of course it's your thang--not mine! 😅😅beautiful 😍

[@pokerbosscycler]

find a near by pool. maybe your neighbors have one to enjoy.

[@1craftladytoo]

Put another Fred on the left side!

[@JDPewPewPew]

Maybe not back fill with packing peanuts.... I think nowadays they are biodegradable and some plastic bags are too

[@rustlesee]

Not a fan at all of filling pots or anything with anything other than soil. Soil is relatively inexpensive, let’s be real. But when you fill it with packing peanuts or plastic bottles, you’re raising the area the plants have to work with for roots. Messes with drainage too. Plus, you’re adding inorganic material to something that should be fairly organic. Just buy another bag of soil, I promise it won’t break the bank.

[@Avivmirkin]

Also a great way to "recycle" or find new use for plastic etc

[@user-vy6fk3rh6z]

I still can’t imagine bromeliads and succulents in the same arrangement/area. 1 needs water to hold and the other doesn’t like their feet wet…..🤷🏻‍♀️

[@jimmyna5644]

Bromeliads are super versatile. Some are actually drought tolerant

[@dominiqueveron6530]

The Sansevieria is gorgeous; however, the marking colours are wasted in this planting. I love blue, the Bromeliad colour is clashing. Great plants - wrong shades of them in MY book. Laura forgot restraint.

[@AnnieDarcie]

Laura, love you but not the brims. Sorry!

[@louisesemrani6860]

I love this plant the long long growth it’s beautiful so popular in OZ 🦘❤️🐨I love this arrangement yes with the purple it stunning in that pot⭐️👍

[@upAcreekCAM]

Another very helpful tip-of-the-day, thank you!! I'm an avid indoor gardener and I lean towards succulents and cacti. I've recently been helping my neighbor, who owns a small Taqueria nearby with a backyard patio space, by bringing him cuttings from my cactus, sanseveria, euphorbia milii and aloe pups for small table-top plants. I up-cycled Cafe Bustello tins into pots. It actually helps me because I have a hard time throwing away cuttings. He has one corner with a lot of shade and I have been wondering what could go there next year....now I have some ideas for spring! One day I hope to share some photos of my plant collection with you, I've learned a lot watching your videos! Greetings from Brooklyn

[@catalinacheng3466]

Love it,such a beautiful arrangement!!!

[@shobnachanel4698]
