It's amazing how you turned such a negative thing into something positive. You have a great outlook on life. I've never seen a propagation so large! Thank you for sharing your insights.

You are welcome!

Eventhough it was a loss, I'm sure she had many of the same succulent. That makes it easier too.

I totally agree on Theresa's attitude. Best way to walk through life.

Same here, but not uprooted, beautiful growing plants with the container stolen but I even planted more 😁

[@boltb3706]

That's awful. Some people are just plain nasty. Hope they know how to take care of them and don't ruin them with ignorance. Happy growing new ones. Thanks for the tips.

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

I know! That's the first thing I have in mind when I discovered what happened.

[@tauraslady]

Some people have no couth and no Morales. I am sorry that happen to you.

[@Cutecat689]

I don't believe they know much about succulents or the person could have asked for leaves to propagate 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@veehive8994]

I don't know if you believe with this superstition but I do believe in this, I always ask for plants and always ask that the owner will personally take them from their mother plants and give them to me personally because I believe they have feelings too and will know if they are being stolen and will soon die in the hands of the thieves.

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

Yes!

[@vianova8742]

I agree, I have my neighbour stole the pups of my cactus and I saw it later on. it died they had to throw it.

[@veehive8994]

@@vianova8742 yes that's true, I've seen a lot of my friends just took plants without the knowing of the owners and now, I haven't seen those plants with them, they all just died. Even though those plants were so very easy to grow.

[@jstamps9578]

I'm so glad uou turned your loss into something to learn and share about propagating leaves accepting more water as the babies seem to accept water with elasticity.

[@bobbiechinn9578]

That's so infuriating!!!! Oh to imagine my heart racing the moment I notice the plant gone! I've had mine eaten before so nothing was left but a single bare stem sticking out of the soil! I cried a little lol. I had been growing it for many years. I'm glad u were able to propagate the leaves.

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

I know! Some people are heartless. 😭

Ms. Theresa, you are so inspirational and I’m so glad to have found your channel! You have an amazing peaceful voice and explain everything very clearly. I wish you can type the names of these beautiful succulents so I can find them at stores. They have such strange names and I’m new to this but you’ve definitely captured my interest! I love succulents and I do have a variation. I love your videos and subscribed to support your channel! God bless you for sharing all of this wealth of information and thank you for teaching me to turn a negative thing into a positive. ♥️😊

Beautiful succulents I would love to have a few. Thank you for educating us how to propagate and grow them.👍👍

[@annakazmierczak4708]

I allways love the colorful succulents,thank you for the tips.

[@cheesekake1841]

Excellent video, thank you! I bought a few "Hens and Chicks" a few months ago and I've literally neglected them but they're still thriving. I put one succulent in a small ceramic pot that doesn't have a hole so the poor thing was soaked in water out in the rain.. The plant looked bad I thought it was dying but somehow it's still alive and has little chicks.. I love succulents!

[@RachelBrotchner]

Oh my gosh, I love this! Thanks for the info!

[@susansakka4874]

Thank you!!! Your videos are super helpful.

[@dyrcosis]

I haven't had any plants stolen yet but a few years back someone (neighborhood kids, most likely) came up on my sidewalk, took a pair of empty small 1.5-2" pots I had sitting out for decoration, and shattered them on the road next to my driveway. One was painted with owls and the other had wavy patterns etched in it. I was less than happy. On topic, if someone were to ask me for a cutting I'd probably be happy to provide one. But outright stealing just saddens me. At least you had a number of leaves left behind and successfully propagated most from what you showed! Succulents never cease to amaze me.

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

True! They are amazing plants.

[@Jadiex18]

My mom always said that we shouldn’t get mad if people steal our plants because she believes that our garden gets more beautiful and vivid when our plants gets stolen. I now have a my own garden. I believe what my mom told me. 🥰

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

Thanks for sharing what your mom told you.

[@CyanideOwl]

Is your mom a gypsy? That's so wrong to think it's okay to steal from others.

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

Thank you!

[@danicaz1163]

plants, especially succulents and cacti being stolen has become a common occurrence in my place.. the sudden popularity of succies have apparently brought out the worst in some people,,

[@suenicholson2698]

I'm very happy you were able to turn your loss into victory with new babies,, but I so disagree with the notion that you were in anyway to blame.. Someone trespassed and removed your plant. We should be free to beautify our property without fear of unethical people . I would like to think had they ask you, you would have given a leaf or two to the admirer.

[@macysondheim]

She is to blame if her succulents are going missing. She should have had security measures in place, or done a better job protecting her property, which could have saved her succulents

[@erinstaley2885]

Your home is absolutely beautiful! I really love the wood border!! I have never seen that before down here in Louisiana!

[@hamburgler9839]

You're so knowledgeable!

[@latapramanik5056]

You explained everything very nicely 👍

[@Emiliapocalypse]

WHAT. Aahhhhh. It sucks how people act sometimes. You shouldn’t have to be paranoid about theft. I would be tempted... _to take a photo!_ but then I saw how far your plants were set from the sidewalk and realized I wouldn’t dare step onto your property even for a picture of your lovely plants. Someone really had some gall. 😤 I had a potted arrangement stolen during the night once, and also one time happened to look out the window as a lady pushing a stroller yanked a tulip out of my garden and handed it to her baby when he cried out for it. I get that it’s a kid, but you’re also kinda teaching your kiddo to take whatever he wants without thinking about it. Unfortunately you might want to set up a security camera. Sorry this happened to you! This is the reason we can’t have nice things. Lovely that it turned into a happy science experiment though!

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

True! So far, no further stealing happened again. It's good that it turned into something positive.

[@gitakartika9608]

Hello! I am new to succulents, and thanks to your videos, I learned how to propagate succulents from leaves, and now they're sprouting new babies! They are so cute! Thank you very much for the useful-educating videos! ❤❤

[@susanlisson7066]

Oh my gosh I think I finally identified my new succulents I purchased recently! I was thinking it was echeveria Debbie but after 1 month since purchase it is starting to grow upwards. Such a shame people will just help themselves to other peoples property. Luckily my house in in a cul de sac so not many people walk past besides the neighbours. Thank you for the useful information about more water for leaf propagations. 🙏🏽 I have 2 trays I will try this with now. It’s end of spring here so will make sure to water more often. They are still growing fast even with 2x a week watering.

[@ChopstickandSucculents]

I initially thought it was a Debbie too! Enjoy your propagation!

[@AudioLove17]

[@nanic8458]

I would never think of stealing anything , but stealing a neighbors plant? That’s so plain shameless, anyway good thing you didn’t stay stuck in that bad energy and easily moved on from that , your good vibes got rewarded indeed!! You have beautiful garden congratulations, my succulents die because I don’t know how often you are supposed to water them , but I’m getting educated from watching videos like this . Thank you

[@cynthiacorso3116]

You have a beautiful garden! ❤

[@ShyDog827]

This was so helpful👍🏻 I still struggle with echeveria species): That’s putting it mildly; I kill them over and over again . Somehow when I gave up , one ( in a pot arrangement of Kalanchoe hildebrandt, chocolate soldier, and sedum salsa ) was thriving: Graptoveria opalina. I’m here at this moment trying to learn what I did right for this plant. I have leaf cuttings of it that are doing well too. I suspect that the light exposure and soil mix that I used in the past were not sufficient . In the three years since I started , I have researched a lot and now buy my own substrates to make the best home for each variety of succulent I buy. I have luck thus far with all Except Echeveria /: So thank you for this video again, it helped more than you know(:

[@gwanma]

Would you tell us a little more about your growing wall? Did you plant directly into soil that fills the shelves? Does it cause the wood to rot because of the moisture? Or do your shelves have a screen bottom? I am running out of space and need to start going upward. Thanks for any advice you can give. I bought your 120 collection and it was a wonderful birthday present for me but I don’t want to leave the starters on the ground because I am having a hard time controlling slugs and snails.

[@bubbytyler1906]

I love plants. When I come across I really like and is in someone's yard, I simply walk up to the door and knock. They may or may not answer. But when they do. I assure them I'm not trying to sell them anything and simply compliment them on their flowers. Then I proceed to ask them if I can have a clipping and they actually give them to me and they are more than actually happy to give them to me all because I asked it's that simple just ask you will be surprised how many people will actually give them to you. This method has never failed me and usually I swapped them with something that I have and they'll take it.

For anyone wanting to buy these for a reasonable price and not for 20 dollars, search online, because they aren't an original product, just a rebranded pair of large industrial tweezers.
