I never get tired of this plant.

1:41 she’s like….nahhh y’all ain’t ready for that info yet

[@ShyDog827]

That was an excellent suggestion for protecting the branches and leaves! I will definitely be using that technique for any of my delicate succulents👍🏻

[@SucculentsBox]

glad that you love our content. Good luck!

[@mushroomchicken9400]

Glad I could find this, I was looking at succulents at the grocery store and found one of these being squished between the other plants, so I guess I have my first succulent now lol

[@SucculentsBox]

That's great. Maybe this information will be useful to you if this is your first time caring for succulents. When you initially receive your succulents, they may be thirsty because to their long journey! Put your finger into the dirt and, if it's completely dry, water it.

[@adritodas2015]

Loved the way you repotted.

Thank you

Just ordered 2 bare root plants from you. Cant wait to get them!

You are welcome Amilcar :)

[@bobbiechinn9578]

I have these plants. If u water it before u repot it the leaves fall off way way worse because they are full and hard and don't bend at all. If its dry they are more elastic and stay on much better. Try it.

[@FortressOfTheWolfMoon]

Mine we’re doing so good till the chickens decided to jump all over them. But now I can just propagate what’s been damaged though I do have to figure out a way to stop the chickens from jumping all over my plants on the porch.

[@SucculentsBox]

Your chickens must love succulents so much... Is there any way to keep them away from the plant?

[@FortressOfTheWolfMoon]

@@SucculentsBox yup I’m going to have to find a safe place for the succulents with good sun. I have a run for the chickens but they are so much happier and healthier free ranging plus they eat things that scare me like scorpions and centipedes lol. Between the chickens and the deer just takes a little bit of planing, trial and error. Deer love my succulents too.

[@SucculentsBox]

You have such a happy family there. Need to figure out how to make your chickens get along well with succulents haha. Love your deer btw

[@dbell4468]

Thank you for sharing your tips. How soon after reporting should they be watered?

[@DucNguyenViet1986]

I would say waiting 3-5 days for the plants to get used to the new pot

[@Sweezer3706]

I have one who is watered pretty well, the soil is still visibly wet and when I test the sole with my finger it is wet as well; however, some of the leaves are wrinkly, it's only a few leaves, the other ones are nice and plump, but I don't know why those certain leaves are wrinkly

[@SucculentsBox]

Hi Kia, are they wrinkly and dried out or wrinkly and yellowing or mushy?

[@piogal34]

Hi, new plant owner here! Thanks so much for your video! Question on the fallen off leaves, if they’ve got tiny roots coming out, is it then safe to put them in soil? A lot of mine have sprouted with the leaf laying sideways, so how do I bury those so that the new leaves can escape the dirt?

[@SucculentsBox]

Hi there, you can propagate a donkey's tail in the spring or summer by using stems or leaf cuttings. Of course, leaves with little roots sprouting from them are perfectly safe to put in soil. Simply remove a few leaves from the tail stem and place them in wet soil. Sprouts should grow in a few days, and after they reach a half-inch length, transplant them into individual pots so they don't lay sideways. Hope this helps.

[@bobbiechinn9578]

She has it backwards with the watering making the leaves stay on. I have these plants and when they're a bit dry the leaves are more elastic and stay on better. Try it.

[@michellec.4994]

Do you prefer a plastic, or terra cotta pot to grow??

[@ameby9734]

@@michellec.4994 personally i prefer terracotta since it'll absorb the excess if i ever manage to accidentally overwater

[@jackiewackieee]

Hi this is kind of a random question and I can't seem to find an answer on Google or anything, but do you know if different trailing succulents can be planted in the same pot? For example a burros tail with a string of pearls? Any advice would be appreciated thanks :)

[@SucculentsBox]

Hi Miranda, there are many things to consider when you want to do an arrangement. Here are some tips from us. If you want to arrange the succulents, a rule of thumb is to choose those with similar needs. They will live in harmony and maintain the appearance of the whole set for a long time. You should put their growing season, watering, lighting, and soil need into consideration. Besides the nature of the succulents, it is also essential to consider the height and the color to put them in harmony. Your arrangement should have the thriller, filler, and spiller. So I think putting trailing succulents in the same pot works since they are pretty similar types. :) hope this info helps

Anyone else see the bugs scatter at 1:50 ?

What are those temperatures? Is this video only for USA people? Noone else understands these units.

Hi Succulents Box, I would like to know if grow lights are suitable for Donkey's Tail? Thanks - Always supporting your content.

[@SucculentsBox]

Hi, the Donkey's tail loves to bask in the partial sun or bright shade. This captivating succulent love bright light for four hours. But it might be burned by the scorching sun; so make sure to give it morning sunlight for better growth.

It could be a sign of overwatering. You can check its soil to make sure what your baby is facing to!

Hi mam 2day I took this plant I t helped lot But I am confused with watering how much I should water mam for how many days mam please help me mam

[@SucculentsBox]

Hi Ravi, so glad that you found this video helpful! We can't give you the exact number of how many days you should water your plant since it varies due to your humidity, temperature, light, etc. But make sure that you only give them a good soak of water when the soil is completely dry to touch!

[@masuganut2082]

@@SucculentsBox thank you so much. I got something labeled Christmas cactus back in 2015 (after researching and noticing bloom time, yeah it’s a thanksgiving one) Anyway, I loved them so much I went and got 8 more in different colors and varieties. I asked the lady at the plant nursery what soil to get for them. She suggested their own mix which was 17 bucks but I got it cuz I love the plants. Repotted and it killed every single one. I quickly pulled the first one back out of its new pot and brushed away the nursery’s blend and the plant survived. It’s still alive and I take very good care of it. But I would love more. So thank you so much. I’m gonna subscribe. My friend told me about your site cuz she LOVES succulents and only just discovered them! And she’s moving in to an actual home soon so she has more room to spread out and get more plants Sorry for the rambling, just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the information as not every place is knowledgeable 💛🌻

[@arshiyaaafreen3445]

I had taken this plant from online And I kept in direct sunlight But the problem is it is not growing

[@omarjassar4650]

I did everything and it still sits there not dead but not growing for 3 years

[@fawnthai621]

when leaves drop, do you put it on the soil or actually bury into the soil?

[@SucculentsBox]

You should remove the dead leaves and avoid letting them stay on the soil!

[@SucculentsBox]

If the leaves you mentioned are not dead leaves but they are still plump and healthy, you can propagate them by laying the leaves on top of the soil. You can also try out other propagation method like dry or water propagation

[@DM-1111]

I have one that looks wrinkly, is it under or overwatered? Help 😢

[@SucculentsBox]

probably it's underwatered. When was the last time you water them?

[@ErinPurcell.design]

Mine turned white. What could this be from? He was so happy then suddenly white and wrinkled. ☹

[@SucculentsBox]

Hi there, check the soil and the roots for wrinkled leaves. They may have been harmed due to a lack of water or high moisture in the soil. If you discover that your donkey tail plant has turned white or gray instead of its usual vibrant blue-green hue, it is being exposed to very strong light. When exposed to too much strong sunshine, the plant may turn chalky white.

[@ErinPurcell.design]

@@SucculentsBox I think it was too much sun then. I've moved it and now he is happier. Thank you!😁

[@fab-mm9it]

I dont know why me donkey’s tail is starting to dry… is there a way i can fix this?

[@SucculentsBox]

Hi, you can try test the soil moisture near the bottom of the pot, rather than just on the surface of the soil. If the soil underneath is too damp, the roots will probably start to rot. Try also moving it an area where it gets more light as well.

[@fab-mm9it]
