A Ton of Pretty Succulents! 😍🌵💜 // Garden Answer

[@juliebsturtz3437]

I so love and appreciate receiving the videos early with my membership! Love your channel, love visiting with you Laura, and your sweet dear family!!🩵🩷♥️♥️♥️

[@bettesimpson1614]

Beautiful plants. During the summer you received 100 or so succulents. What happened to them?

[@gigi77d60]

Girl, your smile and energy are the reasons I keep coming back to this channel. Of course you’re talented and knowledgeable at your job, that’s obvious. But the joy with which you do it is just uplifting. Thank you so much!

[@Elliemaret]

Laura you are so good for my mental health! Love watching you in the morning!

[@be_you2023]

I don’t know why - but I feel this is going to be an amazing year for Garden Answer. So many possibilities, starting with beautiful succulent arrangements.

[@cneilson4488]

Ohhh please film a studio clean up. Those videos are so satisfying this time of year. Like a build up and preparation to spring and all it's glorious, hectic chaos.

[@sueayres6139]

HA! I heard FedEx and Succulents in the recap video this morning so YAY!

[@corrinejohnston4185]

I did too. What a bonus for today.

[@Gin0827]

I do not mind watching this again tomorrow!! The succulents are very pretty and it was nice to see Cheddar again!

[@kimmontenegro2258]

Laura, you can use a small wet/dry vacuum to get the extra water out of the trays. And yes, it would be nice to have a plug on those for drainage. But until then, manual extraction.

[@LindaKing-jr4fz]

Love all the succulents but especially string of pearls and the rosette shaped plants. That's a lot of planting!!

[@megrosa78]

Your videos have gone from my breakfast videos to my evening videos. I fall asleep thinking about gardening. Love it! The succulents look great! Can’t wait to see the projects you could do with them. Whatever happened to the forms you had once upon a time with succulents? Maybe a fun project to do with the kids some day!

[@kerryschultz7116]

Yes, I’m curious about the dress form loaded with succulents that I believe ended up down at the garden center.

[@andreabenson2491]

Seeing all the little plants lined up in rows is so adorable..look forward to the upcoming projects 👍👏😊

[@gaylerichards7409]

Very cool unboxing! Laura, you should make the plug in the tray and market it!

[@cnorovich48]

What a fun unpacking! I learned about Mountain Crest from watching you and have ordered from them several times for both myself and for as gifts. I love their service and their plants. I have a hard time not overwatering succulents, but I think maybe that syringe would be the answer. Thank you so much for referencing the equipment you use so viewers can find them. Can’t wait to see what you do with everything! P.S. We just lost both of our senior kitties recently and I love getting my “fix” seeing your furry pals. Happy New Year.

[@lisag6796]

I'm so sorry for your loss of your fur babies. May your memories help you during this difficult time.

[@wandamcastro]

You might be able to use something like Sticky Tack, the stuff teachers use to hang stuff on walls, to plug the drain holes. It molds like clay and it's easy to pinch off just the amount you need.

[@MylifeinTN]

Laura and Aaron- this video hit all the feels at the perfect time of winter! Have a wonderful day!

[@sherryhipp6498]

Thank you for the lead on Mountain Crest Gardens, I too was impressed with the quality of the it plants. Immediately placed an order. Fan in Bozeman, MT.

[@LB-vl3qn]

Well, hello, Cheddar! Looking hale and hearty this morning, old boy. Those are some very lovely succulents. Would one of your projects be the resurrection of Harris? Perhaps in time for Easter? Just wondering. ~ Lisa

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Laura! Those succulents are really pretty. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@laurieanne9712]

OOOOooo!! Fairy gardens in the offing?????😍😍

[@annehedlund7333]

Things you never thought you'd hear-- Laura saying " snot sucker"!!! Keeping it real!

[@tinaroller1741]

HI LAURA! GUESS WHAT… MY HUBBY SURPRISED ME WITH A LAURA EDITION POWER PLANTER AUGER FOR CHRISTMAS!! 💚 I was so excited. I can’t wait for spring to get here 😊

[@VirginiaMathews94]

I’ve been watching since the beginning and finally decided to be a member. 👏🏼 I was excited to see a new vid but what will I watch in the morning with my coffee?!😆

[@margaret8056]

JUST ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

[@NewDimension7]

Good Morning . Succulent plants , yeay many colours. Yeay nice present all about succulent . Thanks You

[@dianericca1245]

13:42 My local nursery waters all of their annuals and perennials this way. They have huge tables made by orlandelli group. Every time I am there I always think I can’t believe Laura doesn’t have something like this!

[@mindcooper]

If you figure out a system for quicker watering with your grow stand please be sure to share. I'm always trying to figure out a faster way to water my succulents and that seems like a good idea. Looking forward to more succulent videos!😊

[@RenaePatio201]

Do it! Figure out how to rig the trays so you can bottom water and then drain excess. I know you can and I know it will be fantastic and I also know that there are a few of us who really need to know how to do the same thing. Thanks and happy new year!

[@lupeflores8438]

Beautiful plants, can't wait to see what you do with them. So glad to see Cheddar, I feel like every since Douglas stayed, we see less of Russell and Cheddar. I know Cheddar doesn't like Douglas and I feel like Douglas hangs out with you more and Russell and Cheddar stay away. Anyways it did my heart good to get to see Cheddar. Also yes please film a cleanup video of the studio.

[@jeanbrewer576]

👋 im not sure how i missed this video, probably because I was watching your older videos lol. These succulents are stunny, makes me want to order some. I need A syringe like that one for my succulents. Thank you Laura for sharing this video have a nice rest of the day. 🙂👋🌱

[@SisterShirley]

Oh that Cheddar Sweet adorable Cheddar He sure does love his Momma

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

So pretty ❤ I love mountain crest gardens ❤

[@ozarkview928]

So pretty! I’d be totally stumped on how to use them all so I’m excited to see how you utilize them .

[@deborahbrame2384]

I set my watering can under a downspout (to catch rain water for plants...orginally), but it doesn't matter how many clean bowls of water I have outside for when my kitties are out they inevitably drink the rainwater out of watering can😂, (that and puddles, saucers, my glass😮, etc.) So Russel snagging a sip out of watering can was such a "YEP" moment😊, lol!

[@RC-mc6rc]

Video of you organizing the studio please!

[@bwivlog]

Thank you for sharing how to care for flower plants, friend

[@kiwigal8134]

I love these! Inspired me to go check the availability of bulk succulents here in NZ. ☹️ I can't believe there's nothing available. So, I'll just enjoy watching your projects involving these.💜

[@DarrinsDaffs]

Time for ☕️ . Time for Laura. Happy Monday morning from GA USA. The packing list reminds me of the chocolate “map“ on the lid of Whitman‘s sampler boxes! I have been following MCG since your unboxing video last year. My husband thanks you for “feeding“ my addiction 😉😉

[@jayesbeautifulchaos2244]

We have the same terrible hard water issues here in Utah. We had the typical salt softener in our home. I got sick and tired of having to use the fridge water (not salt soft water), and still getting hard water spots on my houseplants. I discovered a few years ago a water softener (conditioner) that does not use salt, it uses citrus instead. It’s totally safe for houseplants, has the same benefits as a salt softener, but where salt softeners kill houseplants this one is completely safe for houseplants. It’s the NuvoH2O system. It’s small and could possibly fit under the counter in your Hartley. That would help a ton with water spots on your houseplants because you can get water on the leaves and it doesn’t leave spots.

[@graffic13]

There is so much in the greenhouse that i think should be in the Hartley ! The olives and citrus.😂 Put a peice of aquarium tubing on that syringe it'll make that a little easier

[@Emre-K]

My favorite plants are cacti, succulents, dwarf coniferous trees and dwarf palms.

[@chrismcpherson1204]

The succulents looks. Beautiful. ❤ I have a succulents kitchen window. The window has. 3 glass shelves custom built. Each shelf has 9 plants. I Water my succulents the same way as you do ❤

[@Goscriven]

As always, so enjoyable, thank you for bringing us all along. It’s always a wonderful way to start the day.

[@dianebernardini9338]

Love all the new colorful succulents. Can't wait to see how you use them. You are so creative. I so enjoy your videos.

[@rolandakaecak9332]

I'm pretty sure the Bonus mystery plant is some mini kind of a tradescantia

[@wherelovesat699]

Can see that you have lots of projects planned with that huge beautiful order. Create the water tray then you can sell your invention

[@sueo5956]

What a great plant fix! Wouldn’t the echoveria (sp?) mix make a great heart-shaped planter for Valentine’s Day?! 💚💚💚

[@dianekotsos51]

Wow they're all so pretty!

[@willowingchintz]

A Laura edition tray coming our way!

[@Georgeous.Garden]

I plant my succulents directly in mesh 1020 trays from bootstrap farmer and set the trays inside watertight 1020 trays. You can pour water in the bottom, let them drink, then lift them out and dump out what’s left.

[@wandatotten7738]

I’m just amazed at how you can think of projects to inform us, I love all your videos thank you.

[@anniemedlin1722]

Love the pinkie colored ones

[@janeparker7150]

My favorite past succulent project was the head statue that you filled. Can’t wait to see what you do with these.

[@aubryleigh]

That was a good one! I liked the dress form arrangement too.

[@RC-mc6rc]

I loved the framed wall art with the copper watering can!

[@michelerok4252]

Laura a soft bristle paint brush will do the same without a lot less mess. Just a suggestion. I never thought to use a snot sucker tool.

[@PeggyLou]

Thank you Laura for teaching us about these beautiful plants.. You have special talents. BTW Iare horse drawn carriage tours of the gardens in our future?

[@wgdg4839]

Enjoyed this video! I’ve ordered from this company and agree they send wonderful plants. Tell me more about the grow lights you are using that prevent plants from stretching or refer me to a past video if I’ve missed it. Seems I’m constantly adjusting the gardener’s supply lights. This is tricky because of their loose chain setup on the light hood. Nothing like the hood crashing on your plants to get the heart pumping! Plus all the plants must have the same light distance requirement on the shelf. Thank you!

[@veannewillson]

I’m not a succulent plant lover. I find it funny how excited Laura gets at seeing these. I still watch. 😂

[@sherryhipp6498]

Last year Restoration Hardware had an amazing succulent pot /bowl for sale. The pot was BIG and beautiful, planted with all the same succulents. It really was lovely but not $500-$600. lovely. I am going to plant my own. Fan in Bozeman, MT

[@JermaineGertse]

I laughed so loud when Cheddar was drinking from the watering can. 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅. Amazing video. Great quirkiness too

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Beautiful succulents interesting to see what you make out of them.

[@AlexSucculents]

So lovely tiny pieces

[@RC-mc6rc]

Omg why did you do this to me! Now I want to order from mountain crest! They really do a spectacular job! You influenced me in the past when you made the beautiful vertical garden with the copper water pot! Not to mention all the fun fairy gardens! I had so much fun with succulents because of you! Can’t wait to see what you do with these!

[@sharonhenson2203]

Coming soon…the Laura watering tray system! 😍 Wouldn’t that be great?!

[@irenemachado6549]

So fun to see ail the pretty plants ❤

[@lawrenberghanson4401]

Some of the succulents are nice. I am not a huge fan of the overly smooth ones - something about them makes my skin scrawl. For your reusable water idea, you can get one of those Rainpoint indoor watering systems, set the pump tube in the trays, and lead it out to where you want it. That's what I do for my fire escape hardneck garlic grow bag. On rainy days I have the Rainpoint pump line in the catch-all tray and have it pump out water every hour into a gallon so that the grow bag is not sitting in water and garden water is not falling on pedestrians.

[@GrammyinColorado]

Love all the beautiful succulents! I have many of the same varieties. Mountain Crest does a really great job. I have found that using 16 ounce condiment bottles (with adjustable opening tips) purchased just for watering succulents are so helpful at keeping the water off the leaves as well. Thanks for sharing your order with us! 🤗

[@dianegougelet1829]

I recently got a gift of large planter with a mixed variety of succulents. I've never had luck with them before, but these are growing & multiplying like crazy! I believe I loved mine to death previously, too.😂 They are enjoying living outdoors in the Florida sun. It's been very cool at night, warming up during the day. Enjoyed the video & loved seeing the variety of plants. Great to know the source, too. Good day, all.🙋‍♀️

[@jillbonham4657]

I can’t keep succulents alive! I fail every time I try. I just bought one more because I have faith that I will get it right this time. It’s a small one in a little planter and it’s bone dry so I gave it a tiny bit of water. I think my problem is overwatering so I’m going to be very light handed with it. I spent crazy money on a bunch of succulents last summer and they did great for awhile and then they all started losing stems and died.

[@tammyeverly7065]

Beautiful succulents and love the syringe. I use a turkey basted that is allocated for plants only. The turkey baster is also convenient if get too much water in tray as can suck it right out.

[@heatheryarbrough5255]

Beautiful succulents . Can’t wait to see the projects. All that beauty makes my yearn for spring

[@Ericasinthegarden364]

Have you ever had mealybug or powdery mildew on your succulents? If yes, how did you eradicate them? Or did you just toss the infected plant out? I love your unboxing of succulents in winter 🥰 such excitement and the beautiful variations!

[@pattidownes5832]

The succulents are so beautiful and I can't wait to see what amazing projects your will do with them Laura! I'm thinking that you may have already explored this, but have you thought about installing an in-line water filter on your greenhouse and studio water supply lines?

[@mollypitcher9380]

YAY!!! Thanks for making it clear (one way or the other) whether you’re sponsored for a product (the succulents). I just feel I can trust you more if you just clarify your position.

[@marthabradas8873]

Thanks for sharing the opening of the succulent boxes, truly beautiful! I bought succulents last year after watching you on your channel. I learn so much, thank you for sharing, seriously. Now that I am retired, I have time for FUN and that means having plants and learning how to take care of them. You save me time and money so I don't have to do everything by trial and error. Your plant selections (all types, indoor and outdoor) have directed me in how to choose. Thanks Laura, you are so knowledgeable and very pleasant , just a treasure!!!!

[@leahlynch1038]

Super video!!! I cannot wait to see what you do with these!

[@lorriswafford5613]

I think you’re creating a new type of tray!!

[@sandrabridgers]

Love ❤ the succulents and cheedar drinking from the water can 😅😅😅

[@jaleinegreen7411]

Those MCG succulents are absolutely gorgeous! Since you have so much trouble with the hard water, have you ever thought of installing a water softener system for your property? It would be great for your house and greenhouses! Not sure of the cost, though.

[@Erin-tk5jw]

I think they have a softener for their house. I just moved to a house with a well and softener, and from what I’ve read, plants don’t like softened water because of the sodium content. I don’t know how important it is, but I’ve been bringing in water from an outdoor, non-softened water spigot to water my houseplants.

[@marthabradas8873]

good point, I didn't think about that for my indoor plants @@Erin-tk5jw

[@robinstokes3602]

From watching your videos over the years, I have been buying more succulents. They are definitely great plants!

[@Wolfwalker13299]

Such beautiful plants! I am looking forward to the upcoming projects using these.

[@benjaminclingaman7551]

Hey Laura it seems that cheddar is helping himself to your water.

[@rickyt3961]

thank you!🪴

[@Kayleighcaresforyou]

Omg!! I just found your channel, I plan on starting a garden this spring and summer, looking forward to your help!!

[@rosealvarado264]

Good morning all have a safe and blessed day ❤️

[@momcation9786]

Gorgeous succulents! Thank you Laura for sharing your succulents, blessings! Have a wonderful 2024!

[@juliekahler632]

Perfect timing on this video. I am increasing my use of succulents in my Southern California garden. Thank you!

[@patticraven6610]

Love them all! I never was a big succulent fan until I started watching you guys! You do some awesome interesting plantings with them💕

[@dianebateman6808]

Sooo pretty!

[@sandraengstrand2784]

So fun to see all the pretty plants! 🥳

[@asianangie7209]

They are all so cute! You bought so much but they gave just one bonus? Can’t wait to see the project you have in mind.

[@ElaineHagelburg]

Thanks Laura for showing these Succulents these are my favourite, cannot wait to see the projects you do with these plants.

[@krissy1740]

Pretty succulents! Having that hard water must be a huge pain for anyone, let alone a gardener! How can you keep your watering system clean and not clogged up all the time? I'm sure you use some kind of filtering in your house for appliances as well.

[@jenford7078]

Love the succulents, especially the rosette looking ones! Question: Could you install a water softener system just for your studio and greenhouse or isn't that feasible? Hard water is the worst, an acquaintance ruined the look of their steel siding because they had a sprinkler system that was aimed at their shrubs along the outside walls, by summers end it was a giant rust stain.

[@debrabeard1830]

Succulents are not on my have to have list, but I think they are beautiful. I just don't have a love for them. That said, I do enjoy seeing your love of them and the joy you get opening those boxes! I'm having a difficult time right now, and watching you gives me a little distraction! Thank you❤😔

[@missbiggs9437]

🙏🤗🌺🥰

[@saraw8503]

We all should love our jobs like Laura and Aaron. Wouldn’t everyone be more pleasant?

[@mrspaulsen1717]

I’m so happy that you shared the shot of the studio at the end… I think we all are cleaning up and packing away after Christmas, and we have the organizing bug…

[@jednoducha]

Beautiful packaging. Beautiful cacti. Excellent watering idea. Thank you. I wish you a flowery year.

[@judyingram-kh1vm]

I love it when you unbox new plant's, its so exciting. The succulents are all so pretty, i love the ones that looks like little roses and of course the sting of pearls are my favorite.

[@grisespino5342]

"Hey guys how's it going!" never gets old 😍. Have a wonderful week GA 👩🏻‍🌾👨🏻‍🌾's Do you have a link for the grow lights? Thanks

[@teresafarrell1411]

Such beautiful succulents. I dont think I have seen that many varieties in one place. Wow

[@eileenluke5659]

Could you cut off the tip of that syringe to fit the hole, add a little silicone caulk or plumbers putty to seal around it and then add flexible clear tube to the tip, which you can stop with a clamp or fold it back on itself the same way you do the solid drip tubing in the garden. The tubing could be held with a command hook on the side of the tray when not in use to keep it tidy and out of the way.
