How to Deal with Overgrown Succulents

Let's revisit the blooming Kalenchoe in my front garden!
It's Your Succulent Tip of The Day with Laura Eubanks and Bentley, The Succulent Dog

[@Peacelily1083]

Hi Laura, if there's one thing I've learnt while researching all plants including, cactus and succulents is, every time you move from one plant to another is, ALWAYS rinse your pruners/scissors in hot water, in order to completely alleviate the passing on of pests! But you never do that? I'm wondering why? In saying that, I love to see your passion come through in the way you plant these beautiful specimens with a constantly sincere smile that, also makes your eyes smile! I thank you for your authenticity and no frills attitude and the silly fun you guys have when designing or returning to clean up. You and your team are just so super down to earth and no fancy frills or make up for the cameras, it's a pleasant change, which I thank you for. Happy cactusing Laura.

[@selmasoo]

I love all of your videos and find them so relaxing. Please include Bentley in more too please! He is such a handsome fella! :)

[@analiaflowerful]

I love watching this lady. And I learned more about taking care of succulents- which I also love. Thanks Laura!! Bentley is a star in his own right. 😁

[@robingrunzweig1880]

best photo bomb by a succulent dog ever! you know, been watching you for what, 2 weeks? 3 weeks? catching up on videos in the HOT afternoons here in orange county.... and i've learned SO MUCH already!!! thank you for the lessons and the inspiration!

[@ekstaxcyy]

I LOVE your work! Great job! Keep doing what you're doing! Love ya!😊😊

[@moja6380]

Such a vibrant lovely personality & what a great video, I enjoyed every single second of it especially bentley,please Laura do us all a favor & keep the tips coming

[@shirleya7198]

I learn so much watching you! Thanks for all the valuable information, and for Bentley - who was our adorable comic relief. 😊 lol

[@sassywookie]

I love watching your videos. Thanks Laura, this will help me a lot. I just started planting/propagating succulents and cacti about a year ago and I found out that I still have a lot to learn. Bentley loves the camera. Such a cutie. ♥

[@YouTube4me]

I just love Bentley, he needs his camera time too, Mom. Thank you for sharing your knowledge :) Beautiful garden!!

[@somethingcats]

Personally I like seeing the trunk on some of those succulents especially the jade plants. So jealous you can grow jade like that in a year. It takes a whole year for a cutting to grow a couple inches for me.

[@ceekaylongbeach]

Hi Laura, Love your videos and catching up on some older ones! Go SoCal!

[@nouierosales1371]

Thank you so much Laura and Greg for posting this kind of video. You are so inspiring. More power to both of you.

[@Beansie]

I had NO IDEA you could be so brutal with succulents. Good to know.

[@KyleHohn]

*Beansie* right? So violent 🤣

[@Monolop]

Its her garden though

[@melodykyo]

It’s her style I guess. lol

[@Beansie]

I wasn't actually pointing out *Laura's* brutality...I was excited to know that succs weren't delicate little flowers. That you could manhandle them and they wouldn't wither. They often have the appearance of being fragile and delicate, but then can survive in harsh conditions. Somewhat contradictory LOL! No, Laura knows EXACTLY what she can do with them and I was thrilled to see I didn't have to be scared to handle them. Sorry if my comment caused confusion as it seems to. Twas not a slight on Laura by any stretch of the word.

[@elstankydank3815]

@@Beansie I knew what you meant :) succulents are very hardy and can recover brutality as long as you aren't in an area that has heaps of rain - very hardy however rot prone!

[@8Laur]

Laura, your videos are amazing and I love Bentley, the succulent dog.

[@jcdaclison]

Hi Laura! Your videos have helped me a lot not only in starting, but more importantly, maintaining my succulent planters and garden. Sending you some love from the Philippines!

[@Kenyasgraham]

Thank you Laura for your response!I'll be sure to pay attention to your instruction.

[@susanwalton1231]

I really love your videos, I am a sort of newie to succulents, planning on doing a garden in my back yard, thanks for the tips, Bentley is so into it all! Lol! Cute!

[@froilandlyn]

I love watching all your video's. Thank you! ❤

[@back2rootsmyalabamahomeste186]

Yea me too, would love to clean up after her. All those huge plants

[@michelel1852]

Thank you Laura😉 He sure is a beauty. Kinda looks like the dog "Hooch", in the old Tom Hanks movie but mixed with something else.

[@redrobin99]

OH,my! So glad I encountered your channel. Great presentation.

[@marksuson5347]

don't be sorry about Bentley. we love his cameos.

[@rad44ever]

Bentley is soooooooo adorable!!!!! Please do more videos with him!!!! 🐶💙🐾

[@latinaries]

I really love how you film yourself cutting the succulents and we can hear the sound of the clippers 😌

[@emiliasettineri3217]

You're amazing and I'm in love with your dog

[@adilagram]

So interesting Laura! Thank you!

[@blancaloja2621]

I love you garden, you have a Beautiful succulents 🥰🥰🥰

[@ebbyn7799]

I live in St louis Missouri, and we have bipolar weather here . I just hope my succulents stay alive on my little balcony. BTW I love all your videos, very inspiring. ❤

[@ourfloridagarden4191]

YES! I love it when you do these re set videos. That looks wonderful Laura. Looks so new and fresh. Wish more people would do this with there succulent gardens. Big pet peeve of mine is to drive by a house and see the set and forget mentality. 🌺

[@JG-le8nf]

Thanks Soooo much for all the detailed explanation. It truly helps!

[@thetruthofthematter936]

The moment when she tosses the plants & says "discard" I"m saying send them to me plz! Crying

[@ellengill514]

She has long gutter boxes where she saves anything valuable. Succulents and cacti are not like a lot of plants. A lot of them die after they flower. She knows more than you do and she does have an adoption program.

[@Beansie]

I'm saying compost it LOL

[@lindaedvardsson4218]

The Truth Of The Matter same here😰😢.. Im glad to pay for the shipping.. and i live in Sweden😩.. of course, just the fact that she has so many and they making soo much babies.. I can with that understand her but I never ”discard” something tinytiny either😅

[@853sp]

Gosh your really throwing so much away...I would do so much more with that.

[@elainecastro4033]

Not true, mines flower and do not die.

[@washingtonquintuna7619]

She should make a lottery for the people we love her videos🙏❤️🤣🤣🤣

[@washingtonquintuna7619]

With all the babies she got rid off🤣

[@laura9625]

amazing video! love your channel

[@ChrisstinaMorgan]

So that's how you keep aloe vera so upright and tight. That's a great tip! Thank you!

[@beanerschnitzel794]

Very lovely, thanks from Germany 🇩🇪

[@elianamurillo341]

Bentley adds to these tips and diy videos lol 👍🏼

[@Fantute71]

I love your channel 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Kaalokalawaia]

I dunno. I actually like the wildness that some succulents get when they are left alone. I do cringe everytime she chucks something away like that.

[@ixzayanaguzman7787]

If you have a Facebook you should post the stuff you discard on the marketplace instead of tossing it ! I’m sure a lot of people would love your trash lol .

[@swee8181]

❤ Bentley & the succulents harvest

[@BudgetPlants]

Wonderful techniques!

[@nathanaelsperger901]

She really gets Jurassic growth!

[@kirafluffy5377]

You seriously need to make your own online shop to buy your scraps. I want themmm so bad!!

[@maryaleman7695]

kira Fluffy me too was thinking same thing g

[@jamesreid2880]

Nice video thanks for sharing,dog is so funny,dog part of the crew,,😅😅

[@marilyniruguin02]

I love all your video, I live in Eastlake Chula Vista.

[@suejones4635]

Have you ever done a video sharing some of your favorite gardening tools? I'm looking at those gloves thinking they look sturdy.

[@annesmitley2306]

You are AMAZING !!

[@dungai7200]

Love your videos 😍❤️

[@chayapolmrt3135]

Dũng Đào Đại ขอหน่อยครับ

[@tanmaydebnath6201]

Just give the succulents who wants to have them😁

[@alicengo9772]

I want her discard pile!

[@sally-annparker6744]

Great video. What is the multi-stemmed palm in the background?

[@reginahudson9909]

I just got into succulents this year , I don't know what to do with them over winter here in NW Ga . I keep them in pots on my back deck , I don't have any room for all of them in the house , will they be able to overwinter in the garage ? I enjoyed your video, learned a lot, love Bentley ! Thank you !

[@sammyellis9427]

He’s a ham, star of the show 🥰

[@hazelhybrid]

Bentley block! ;-) 8:22

[@giraffeting]

this is so satisfying lol

[@thatsjustducky331]

You live in a climate that is so easy to sprout another plant, not so easy and a major task for other zone areas.

[@leenaanwaryar7747]

Hi Laura, with the red and black lava rocks in your garden would it ever change colour or fade overtime?

[@TheSuzy12345]

I"m is in love with your work. I'm learning so much from you. You are a master. I would love to to know if you use fabric under the succulent and thank in advance. Stay safe and healthy.

[@redredwine1277]

Lovely 🌹

[@caneycreekgypsy1871]

Me, too!

[@Antoninorosetta]

I love the succulents, but I absolutely love that dog!!! Could you tell me what kind of dog that is??

[@el3389]

This is such a different way of gardening than for me here in Ohio. The plants here...I cant just cut them up and stick em on/in the ground. They will all die. I know you dont like digging holes but its a must here. LOL

[@mariae.santiago620]

Can you cover succulent management in Arizona hot weather, I have tried several time to start my succulent garden with no luck what so ever

[@tanyabrown9839]

LOL @ dog standing in front of camera

[@mmp495]

I live in AZ. I'm going to plant succulents in a shaded area in my yard and see what happens... wish me luck. 😊

[@oliviatrue2907]

I'm in Illinois. ...been trying to propogate a couple flap jack leaves for 4 months now...no luck so far!

[@michelel1852]

Love your garden. But I just have to ask, your dogs name and his breed. He is so handsome.

[@Kenyasgraham]

I absolutely love your work! So creative and eye appealing! I do have a question , , , I've watched you cut off cuttings and plant them in the ground without rooting. I've done that . . . waiting several days before watering . .. and the leaves turn black like they are burnt. Why?Appreciate any response you can give.Thank you Laura for your beautiful work and inspiration!

[@LauraEubanks]

Shirley Graham hi! Hmmm... black leaves can be an indication of rot. If the leaves fall of at the gentlest touch or if there is black in the center(crown) of the plant, then I suspect rot and your succulents need a drier location. If the plant is otherwise intact, and the leaves are just dIscolored, sunburn may indeed be the cause. A location in the garden that offers some protection from the sun in the hotter hours of the day is advised. Best of luck and thanks for following!

[@crazyskateboarding00]

I want a succulent dog 😋

[@marlenesoneguete5836]

Eu estou encantada pelo temanho das suculentas. Aqui no Brasil não tem desse tamanho.

[@ivonekrissianni9920]

i really wish i could be your neighbor so that i can ask for the leftover or the old succulent leaf that you throw on the trash. i wanna propagate them so bad! in where I live succulent is a lil bit expensive. I hope you and your dog have a great day, God Bless! Big Hug from Indonesia!

[@phillipsolorzano4804]

Hi Laura! I live in Florida and I have been growing a succulent garden for about a year now. I recently discovered your channel and have binge watched for the last 2 weeks. I am star stuck. I have a question about if you think it would help my succulents grow faster and healthier if instead of cacti soil, if I used small pebble? With the frequent rain here it seems that the soil stays moist. Nothing is dying, I just want to make sure they don't start to! Lol

[@LauraEubanks]

Phillip Solorzano give it a try and report back with your finding! Thanks for following!

[@braidensaville9862]

luciae cant propagate from leaves from Tomentosa, Silver spoons and copper spoons can grown from leaves

[@VickyJoneslife]

Giving the common name as well would be very helpful. Thank you.

[@ayuabdullah5257]

when u said you gonna discard those big ones... my heard aches... I wish I could have them... hehe

[@andreadrakos3370]

How many times I have been watering my garden with sugulen?

[@RM3fresh]

whats the reason for the white dots on the leaves insects?insects?

[@shy4653]

Hi Laura! I love your videos & I have a question. How are your succulents so big? Is it the way they grow over there? I just keep finding little ones & although I love them & am trying to grow my own stash I just can't get over how big & beautiful yours are. Thank you for your time 😊

[@LauraEubanks]

Shailyn Hoffman I am SO spoiled in Southern California! Most of the plants I buy are HUGE😍

[@maryscavone5622]

Hi Laura, just found your video. I am a new gardner of succulents. I have a large pot that My plants have grown into HUGE BUSH! woukd,it be alright if i trimed them fron the top? Thank you kindly

[@conniealaniz1291]

I'm new to planting and working with succulents and would like to know if after you make fresh cuts and place them back in your garden do you give them a fresh watering right away?

[@LauraEubanks]

Connie Alaniz best to wait a few days to a week before watering. Give those wounds a chance to callous over.

[@conniealaniz1291]

Laura Eubanks Thank you for the reply. It's all new to me but I'm finding it to be so therapeutic.

[@sami.s3155]

what does this mean? that if ur succulent stand up u done ur job?

[@thnkr0917]

LOL, the dog really wants to be in the video.

[@emiliasettineri3217]

Can I have Bentley? Love him

[@David_EDITZ17]

Belloooo

[@42shoes]

I'm thinking you might benefit from a soil knife. Good videos.

[@mylifeindubai3499]

hello your garden is full of succulent beauty iwant to visit please

[@shanonnatashya6051]

Can I know is it alright to replant straight away after cutting, without letting the ends to dry ?

[@jamoss9123]

Yes

[@StaticRooster]

Mmmmmm, succulent dog :P

[@alexagonzalez710]

Omg i would love to pass your house on garbage day.

[@jimmylindsay9748]

good

[@jomarielopez2229]

Take the cuttings Laura and fill in the fountain that I can see next door at the neighbor's! Looks like there is no water flow in the fountain!

[@peterl.104]

I haven’t been gardening correctly because I don’t have a dog. Dang it. =) I wonder what he was thinking the entire time.

[@mariaguadalupesalinas8106]

Hola soi de mexico nome gusta como tira mucha planta como las trata es mui atrabancada mui despota

[@helenreidt3315]

Actually..it looks beautiful to me

[@TeresAlexander]

I live in south Florida we get a lot of rain could I plant in my garden and make succulents strive like that ?

[@edynguyen3382]

Teresa Alexander no, you should let em callous before planting since it would reduce the rotting much more in the moist and rainy climate

[@GreenLadyDV]

💚💚💚💙

[@hamedhasanpur588]

would U tell how you know if a suculant is male or female

[@ivonekrissianni9920]

haha! its just poped up inside her head I guess.. this is a male and this is a baby girl LOL

[@ryeleduave1145]

Hamed Hasanpur plants have no genders, but you can call them him, her, or it.

[@hamedhasanpur588]

I do know the matter of using words what I dont know is that sometimes I see 50% of my plants do grow what so called babies but the other half have never done that. At the part you said the mom has little guys on it maid me think theres some differance between moms and guys!!!!

[@MrsD0nofrio]

Hamed Hasanpur they mature at different rates. Research the plant on wikipedia, there is a guide on bottom shows its growth patterns. Good luck! Don't give up :)

[@AryaWinter]

how do you deal with snails that is safe for dogs?

[@AryaWinter]

also I love seeing Bently in the garden

[@LauraEubanks]

AryaWinter Bentley is a very picky eater. Snail bait is of no interest to him.

[@AryaWinter]

snail bait 😊 got that...will look for some...hope my huskies won't get curious with it

[@LauraEubanks]

I hear that Sluggo is safe around pets.

[@AryaWinter]

I will look for that brand then...thank you so much. I love your videos!
