wasn't expecting an inspirational moment w my succulent video but I loved it

[@SheilaShares]

I’m so glad you did. Aside from the tips, it is my goal to add more value to my videos and since I’m passionate about self helps and inspirational materials, I decided to exert some extra effort and make graphics or add some extra clips to share them. 😅 Thank you so much. I really appreciate your comment. More blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈

[@cuteminx121]

Same here! Lovely video!!!

[@audrey7256]

Yes thermostat or thermometer?

[@vincentmarchionte2798]

you’re right! It made my day!

[@adriannavasquez5895]

I feel the exact same way ❤️ I automatically subscribed

[@sonakbi]

Another tip from Korea here :-) I use a syringe or ketchup container to water this sort of small succulents in a small pot! :-) Hope my tips also help others and you! Nice video! Thanks :-)

[@SheilaShares]

Hi! I love the ketchup container tip. 👌 I have a really big syringe and I still take forever to finish. The ketchup container is genius! Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate it! ❤️☺️🌈

You are certainly on the right track, Spencer! 👍

[@miriamv5323]

Hello! I am a beginner and just stumbled across your video. It is just what I needed to hear, not only for gardening tips, but also your inspiring words give me great comfort in this difficult time. My dad and brother died earlier this year and my reason for taking up gardening is to feel connected to my dad who was an avid gardener. I have never felt any desire to plant or grow anything until now. I am being proactive and creating the peace I would want amongst this current chaos. It is great therapy! Thank you and what a coincidence that you only live an hour away from me. Take Care!

[@eh9918]

Sorry to hear. Glad you found some peace in plants.

[@SheilaShares]

Hello Miriam! I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing two loved ones is not a very easy thing to overcome. It gives me comfort to hear that you found gardening to be helpful. I know it is not enough to erase the pain, that’s why I’m relieved to hear that it kinda helps somehow. 😢 Huge apologies for the late response. I’ve been so busy. I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments and inquiries. I can’t believe I’m 1 year behind now. 😔 Thank you so much for the sincere comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

[@SheilaShares]

Thank you so much, Jackie! And whoever it was that recommended my videos, I so appreciate her, too. I’m glad you find my channel helpful. Thank you again, Jackie! I really appreciate it. ❤️🙏🌈

[@4janetmarie]

Sheila, I really appreciate everything in your videos. It's obvious that you have a kind soul. I dove head first into succulents about a month ago and got carried away at their beauty. Before long I was getting delivery after delivery of unpotted plants. I wish I'd found your channel before potting them. I got overwhelmed, just with potting. First, the soil is more like tiny, tiny pebbles so even getting some of them to stand up was a test. Some have roots along the plant(such as the ruby necklace), Some of the sedums were a test as well. I really could've used your information and motivation. I was a nervous wreck one night thinking what if I killed them all! Then, I watered several too much. I repotted, like you said to in this video. I didn't realize I'd ordered so many and they were coming from so many shops! I learned real quick that all of my years growing houseplants hadn't prepared me at all for succulents ❤ So, I am so grateful for your informative videos and there are many days when your message is much appreciated as well!!! Thank you so much!

[@SheilaShares]

Hi Janet! Thank you for sharing your story. I really appreciate your comment. I love the way you wrote it. I felt like I was there. It is so true how it is very easy to get carried away ordering a lot of them. It happened to me, too. 🤣I started with 70 cuttings and my next orders easily grew to hundreds. The most that I ordered was a single order of 300 assorted cuttings. 😅🤣😆 It was a fun journey all in all. Your comment is really precious Janet. Thank you so much again for taking the time to share it. I really appreciate it so much. ❤️☺️🌈

[@fancythat4284]

Really useful information! Thank you! You explain each topic so well. Exactly what I've been looking for with my questions on succulents. And I absolutely love your life tips/advice in each video. It was unexpected advice for me, but very insightful and helpful.

[@SheilaShares]

Hi Amber, thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words! I’m so glad you found my positive messages helpful. It’s extra work for me, but if those messages can touch even just one person, then it’s all so worth it. Hearing that it touches more people is such a great blessing already. Thanks again and heaps and heaps of blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈

[@fsaforosaforo6338]

Excellent info especially on the watering section, leaves from my softer rosettes were rotting so this video has taught me how to water them differently and hopefuly for better success. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you! 😁 I really appreciate this comment. I had to do a lot of repotting this month to change out the soil. 😃 Keeping them healthy is a lot of work. 😅😆

[@RuthiesSucculentObsession]

Great information as always. Thanks for sharing. I think I may invest in a moisture meter.

[@SheilaShares]

Thank you, Ruthie! 😃 A moisture meter is really helpful. I think I bought mine for $5 on Amazon. 😁

[@Shaka448]

This is the best video I have seen on succulents! Thanks so much! I just planted my first little pot of succulents. I am going to order that moisture meter for certain.

Thank you, Shannon! Happy Planting to you! I really appreciate your comment! ❤️☺️🌈

[@tvc380]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I've been growing succulents for a few years now and have never let them dry out. I shower the leaves too. They look great and have gotten big but from now on i will do it the right way.

[@SheilaShares]

You’re welcome, Brady! If they are planted directly in the ground, they are more tolerant to watering. In pots, they are more picky about watering interval. I think you are on the right track. Thanks so much again and as always, more blessings to you! ❤️🙏🌈

Hi Aryen, at the upper left hand corner is Echeveria “Giant Blue Curl”. Upper right hand is the Perle von Nurnberg. Middle is Echeveria agavoides ‘Red Tip’. Lower left is the Echeveria ‘Sagita’ and lower right is the Echevaria pollux. Sorry for the late response. Friday mornings are hectic for me. 😁 Thank you for asking this question.

I'm so happy I came across your videos, Shiela! I'm actually having trouble keeping succulents alive everytime I get a hold of them, only now I know that I'm overwatering them. I hope this time with the help of your videos, I'd be able to keep atleast this jade plant I just bought alive 😅 I wish I'd make my own succulent basket too. Yours are so beautiful! 😍 Keep making these informative videos. Much love! 😁

[@SheilaShares]

Hello May, I’m so glad to hear that my videos are helping. I think this time, your Jade Plant will survive and thrive. They are better off with longer watering intervals. When in doubt, postpone watering for about 3 days more. They are better off not getting watered too often. Then, when it’s time to water, give them lots of water. Thank you for leaving your comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈

[@maysarcia5570]

Hi Shiela! Just an update, my Jade plant continues to grow! :) I'm already thinking of propagating it, and again referring to your videos for it. Thanks again for the advice!

[@SheilaShares]

Hi May! I’m so happy to hear that! 👏👏👏 I’m looking forward to hearing your story about your cute baby jades! 😊 Thank you so much for giving me an update! I really appreciate it! ❤️☺️🌈

[@thomasanderson6426]

I try to water mine the way that nature would. So far I've had good growth, and healthy plants. I was gonna try to get my cactus to go dormant so that it'd bloom in the summer but then thought maybe it's best not to change anything since it's working out ok so far. In the past I've found if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[@SheilaShares]

So true, Thomas! I’m so glad you have found a way to make sense of how frequent watering doesn’t always equate to loving them. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’m sloooooowly trying to catch up on responding to comments. I’m about two to three months behind right now. 😔😅 Thank you so much again for the comment. I really appreciate it. Wishing you more blessings, love and good health! 🙏❤️💫

This made me more confident and motivated to pay more attention to my succulents. One recently died because a member of my house overwatered it in moist soil and it completely died and I got de-motivated. Im currently growing some more to put in its place so this helped a lot!

I stuck wooden sticks in the pots, to check the moisture in the pots. Never overwatering them anymore.

[@SheilaShares]

Yes, wooden sticks are actually great substitutes for moisture meters. I just find that in the past, I would have to leave the stick in for about 3 to 5 minutes before I get results. Thank you for mentioning this. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈

[@ladya4776]

@@SheilaShares yes, actually, i leave them there, in the pot, it doesnt bother me. I see only the tip of it anyway. And I take it out only when it is time to water. It saved lives of my cacty in the summer, during the heat. Cos when it is Hot, and their leaves become softer, and when you care for them so much, you will probably think that they do not get enough water, give them more water, leafs start to get creases, start panicking, give them even more water..and kill it.. Beacause during extreme heat, in the summer month they Just slow down their metabolism, and use less water. It is very usefull if you can take the stick out and see that it is moist,no watering needed, and your lovely plant is able to take water in if its needed. So, leave it alone for a couple of days, let the soil dry out. Give them water again but carefully..

[@SheilaShares]

That’s a perfect idea! Thank you so much for sharing it with the community. You are awesome! ❤️👌👍👍👍

[@bryonyhendry2839]

How does it work?

[@SheilaShares]

Hi! The stick would look darker and moist to the touch if there is moisture in the soil. Thank you for asking this question. I really appreciate it. ❤️☺️🌈

Whats the name of the succulent at 0:24? Nice video

[@SheilaShares]

Hi, Richard! It’s the Echeveria ‘Giant Blue’ or Echeveria ‘Giant Blue Curls’ 😃 She’s my current favorite, along with my mesembs. ❤️😍 Thank you for leaving a comment and asking this question. 😃🙏🌈 I really appreciate it.

[@Intoxicated_Virus]

Hey thanks for replying. Couple of days back my echeveria giant blue suffered from stem rot,trying hard to save it. Your tips are surely going to be useful for a noivce like me.🙋

[@SheilaShares]

Giant Blues are gorgeous, Richard! 😍🤩 I hope yours will pull through. They usually do as long as you give them that period of induced drought.👌👍 I sure would love to know if yours would make it. If the soil is still moist and she is already showing signs of rot, it it best to repot in dry soil. It’s extra work, but it’s really worth it. Feel free to ask more questions. I’m more than happy to help. 😃🙏🌈

[@bunsem311]

[@karenb1342]

Thank you for the moisture meter tip! I didn’t know they existed. I’ve been looking for help all over KZbin and your video helped the most so I subscribed. My Echeverria leaves look dented. Hopefully giving them the right amount of water now helps.

[@SheilaShares]

Hi Karen, I’m so glad to hear that. I hope you’re able to keep them happier and healthier now. Watering can really be tricky. The fact that some soil can be too fast-draining also complicates it even more. Huge apologies for the late response. 😅 I’ve been so busy.

[@shortcake2451]

So glad I found your channel! I really appreciate the info and that you actually respond so kindly to all the comments. Many people do not do this! Everything I was told was to soak them until you see water dripping out the bottom of the planter. I believe I may have killed several of my plants this way. Especially the new growth babies. I do put some grit into my mix now and they seem to be doing better. I live in the Central Valley and it does get pretty hot so I may have killed them with kindness. Lol. My moisture meter didn't work so I used a wooden skewer. I would like to purchase another meter and would like to get the one you recommend. How do I make sure you get credit for this purchase?

[@SheilaShares]

Hi Carolyn, thank you for your kind words. 🙏 It’s comments like yours that keep me going. The moisture meter that I use is inexpensive and does the job well. I have a link to it and other materials that I personally use in the description below this video. It helps me that way, too. 😃 Thank you so much for wanting to give me credit. I’m so sorry to hear about your plants. We all learn a little as we go along. Thank you for leaving this comment. I really appreciate it. ❤️🙏🌈
