I just watched the video on your Dad's plant collection, and now it's bonding time with your Mom. You're very lucky to have loving parents who share your interest in plants, it runs in the family💚💚💚

[@kinascribble]

Very refreshing to see succulents being showcased in a humid climate! Succulents were my gateway plant and you're so right when you say they really destroy your confidence! they just died soo fast. Luckily, I got the hang of it, and have kept many alive for several years - but there are definitely some genus that I still haven't cracked.

[@onlyplants]

Yeah I think they are like bicycles, once you get the hang of it, its a breeze.

Thank you 🙏🏽😌

[@malasigjs]

I let the cuttings dry out for days to callous before planting, protect them from rotting. Fallen leaves I just leave on top of the soil and they root on their own and grow into new plants. They thrive on neglect. I also found you can grow roots by placing them in water then transfer to soil when you have enough roots. Your doggos are so cute!

[@onlyplants]

Thank youuu. 🙏🏽

I like your choice of greek word "μεράκι" for your tatoo, I' m Greek, you know. Love your potting mix. Lately I use kind of this potting mix not only for cactii and succulents but also for other plants, for better drainage. Your mom made beautiful arrangements, you may both make another video again.

Succulents seem to be most peoples first plants and also one that destroys their confidence and interest. I would not recommend them for beginners. But they are such beautiful beings to revisit once you get the basics right

I love succulent, especially kalanchoes. I have a few videos posted showing my kalanchoe Dragonfire and kalanchoe lavender scallops. I have several varieties of kalanchoes, my goal is to collect as many as possible. they're such easy growers and work well in full sun. Especially in my subtropical region.

Is Gia younger than Josie?

[@nickrodriguez7985]

It must be an Eastern part of the world thing for succulents bcuz I find them very easy to keep alive and I use a soil based mix. Love the content!

[@onlyplants]

I feel humidity plays a big factor in their well-being.

[@horace6851]

@@onlyplants I started my houseplant journey with succulents something like 20 years ago, and I've always just grown them in store bought soil mix, not even the one designed for cacti. But that was in Poland where the humidity barely reaches 40% most of the time. Here in NY I just killed one. I cared for it the same way as I did for my collection when I was a teenager in Poland, the only difference was the humidity, it is summer now and summers on Long Island are very humid. I guess I have to re-learn how to take care for succulents now :). I hope your bowls are doing well, we would love some updates (once you settle in the new place of course).

oh yay mama is here! well done, lovely video! My love for green actually started with terrarium - open and closed which had succulent / cacti ... however I have killed so many ... I dare not go near them (just in case they scream abuse!!) so I will enjoy them from afar. I do have kalanchoe which are doing well. so, lets leave it as that ;P

[@onlyplants]

Haha I did leave some care tips on these so hopefully that will help you keep these alive. Terrariums are terrible for cacti and succulent actually as they need airflow. 😌

[@cherylyeo25]

@@onlyplants I did both peperomia for terrarium ( I think closed) and succulent for open terrarium.... basically I do have black thumb which I am willing and training them to be more green. trying, studying, learning, and trying. so far my conclusion is foliage indoor plants are more suited esp in tiny indoor flat style in SG. its been very very rainy in SG so again, monitor & adjustment to light / watering conditions for green babies. thanks for reply and again your mama is sweet :)

[@1101naomi]

What type of kalanchoe is in the pot by itself? I think you said it was yours. Also. Panda paws, bear paws, chocolate soldiers all look similar with slight differences. They are fantastic in a pot by itself!

[@ezgicoskun5722]

Hello, as far as I know vermiculite isnt do same job like perlit. Most people says that it does an opposite job, vermiculite keeps the soil really moist. But I am not really sure.

[@onlyplants]

Vermiculite actually dries out really fast and is very airy. In fact when I bottom water plants that have vermiculite, it will “hiss” loudly as it absorb the water.

[@Sarah-qj6tu]

do u hv any care tips on string of pearls/dolphin? i cant seems to keep it alive. i killed a pot and my 2nd pot started to wilt. i freaked out and cut the strings in water and it has been in water for 3 weeks now😅 I want to repot in soil but kinda scared. i wonder if it is the climate. i kept mine indoor with bright light.

[@onlyplants]

Im making a string of dolphins prop and care video. Bright indirect light (some direct is good for them) and let them dry out completely between watering. I give mine a cacti potting mix and terracotta pot, watered daily as the media will dry within a few hours in this set up. No root rot/overwatering so far.

[@Sarah-qj6tu]

@@onlyplants i guess ill bring it closer to my window for more light. was worried of the sun burning it as it can be pretty hot in malaysia. cant wait for your vid -sarah

[@Pyron5hadow]

Hi Sean, wanna ask you about worm casting since you use it in all your potting mix except for succulents, does it encourage live worm in the soil after some time? Hope your answer is NO coz I truly hate them🐸

[@you_r_my-world2288]

I do not like worms or caterpillars Kills my soul lol

[@onlyplants]

Yes I have found tiny worms in my potting mix probably from worm casting. They are super tiny and you can only see them drowning when you bottom water them. Earthworms are 100% harmless to us, in fact I’d go as far as say that they are sterile. They feed on organic matter and break them down into nutrients which really really benefits the plants. Earthworms exist in abundance in nature all over the world.

[@onlyplants]

Awwww... they just need bright light and drying out between watering. I water mine every other day in my mix and pot combo and they seem the survive and thrive. Do give them another try!

[@you_r_my-world2288]

I love plants but I hate caterpillars. I’m super scared. How do I avoid them without getting rid of my plants.

[@onlyplants]

Haha but they hate us too 😆 we are actually encroaching their natural habitat... and they have every right to live as we do. They usually turn into butterflies and moths which is essential for pollination. My advice is to live with them harmoniously and find beauty in them and forgiveness if they eat your leaf. I hear water infused in garlic can deter them if sprayed onto the leaves.
