Where are all my succulent lovers at?! 🙋🏻‍♂️ What are some of your favorite succulents?

[@e.MiLixx]

Me me ME I am 😍😍

[@user-nw6vb6mw3c]

Meeee My favorite in my collection is echeveria afterglow

[@shadlyn3803]

Just getting into succulents the last year! My favorites are white-toned echeveria's (like Lola) and the "windowpane" types of Haworthia like Cooperi and Retusa! I love the "glass-block" look of 'em!

[@MariaSweets5]

Echeveria Romeo and Lauii

[@MH-dm4qc]

Does anyone else LOVE the succulents growing all over the stem? It’s so beautiful and extremely unique among the plants

[@GardenArcX]

Me too,,

[@JoanneZira]

I'm one of those that think they all look the same, lol. But the love you show for your plants is so sweet I am even happy to watch you talk about something I don't like hahahaha

[@itsjohnny4267]

Keep in mind that your aeonium kiwi has a different dormancy period compared to the rest of your echeveria. Aeoniums typically go summer dormant. Their growing season is when the weather gets cooler. Most aeoniums, including the kiwi, are also monocarpic. Meaning they’ll die when they flower. So when your kiwi flowers, you can chop off the rosettes that have flowered. The rest of the plant will survive and produce more offshoots. Try to give your succulents as intense light as possible & more time between watering (water HEAVILY each time) to “stress” them out. This makes their colors more vibrant and pop out more. Great channel! My plant journey started off with outdoor succulents and now I’m transitioning into indoor plants. Your channel’s been full of useful info! 🤙🏽

[@Orchids365]

I’m loving the intro, also I have a few succulents but they rarely ever come with ID’s. New friend here 👍🏼🌿🌱.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Yeah, the ones I get at local grocery stores or big box stores just says succulent 😅 I often have to google to get an idea on the ID

[@plu_Tony_um]

Yes, succulents can be a bit addictive...i have branched out and started collecting Haworthia...they are a bit more tolerant of the indoors compared to most succulents and cacti....all my echeveria's, jades, etc prefer to be outside and get some morning sun.

[@plantsandartemius]

Super flowers!👍👍👍

[@jena9173]

Succulents were a great place for me to start with plants because I'm definitely an underwaterer! Haworthia are my faves ❤️

[@PeggysPlants]

Your succulents are beautiful, but the disclaimer at the beginning did it for me. I know I can always count on you to put a smile on my face.

[@GreenBuddy760]

the Aeonium and a lot of sedum like a little bit of cooler and damper weather. I believe the kiwi aeonium is summer dormant but will turn beautiful colors during summer to protect itself from the harsh sun. They also prefer very rocky and sandy soil. The soil for some of your succulents appear to be a bit black so they are probably too compact, wet, and "organic" for succulents.

[@lilgrlQ1]

Went out to buy potting soil yesterday & came home with 4 Ebony, a Rainbow elephant, a Spear Head Senecio & a Fish hook! Hahahaa... I'm Hooked!

[@breannajacy]

I laughed at the viewer discretion in the beginning, but y’all, it’s no joke.

[@dafyddrhobert2414]

They certainly do like light. I have my collection of around 200 in a greenhouse. They get watered once a week with rainwater from the bottom. Water is tipped into each plant's saucer and any remaining after a few hours is tipped away into a bucket to be used on other plants. Water is never wasted.

I find taking care of succulents quite the challenge. My prayer plants give me less drama lol! I do have an ogre ear and just recently bought a vertical leaf succulet. The purple outline caught my eye.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Whaaat really prayer plant easier than succulents?! 😅 do you like to water your plants often Barbara 😉

[@tammyjohnson7401]

Great information, I have about seven succulents, a group of taller ones follow the sun like sunflowers do, so I turn them about every two days to keep them balanced.

[@mechelleyeager104]

I'm a huge fan of succulents (and your channel!) but I've learned thru trial and error I don't have the optimal conditions in most of my house! I've gotten into Haworthia and having success with 2 varieties😊 I do have one Echeveria in my west facing window that's happy, so I'm happy!

I love all the varieties of succulents and cactus there are to collect 💞 I don't think I'll ever have everything I want, but coming close to it lol. Love seeing your methods and learning different tricks from you. You never know what your going to pick up from a fellow gardener and that's why I love our community so much! I'm so happy to see more people getting into plants. Let's spread the word about the beauty that lies within each variety out there! Gorgeous, stunning and magnificent I say😍

[@mrsnigraham7269]

They can take quite a bit of sun (may need a slow adaptation to not get a sunburn); check for water needs every few days until you get used to them. I live in the desert and have some that get East sun ~5 hours; a few that get ~1 1/2 hours early afternoon, West sun: They are doing well. My jade goes outside on the east side when nights stay 55* and stay out until winter, unless it gets scorching hot. Just playing with how long my desert roses can stay outside; I previously kept them inside.

[@cindyleblond182]

I love succulents, I currently have panda kalanchoe, burros tail, ogres ear, haworthia, aloe vera, silver quill, echeverria lola. I did lose a few from mealy bugs, couldn't win the battle. You are right to introduce the slowly outside, put in a shady spot for starters, then dappled sun and so on

[@margolane2229]

When they grow in there environment they grow tremendously. I've started my garden with succulents. I'm looking for picky pear. I think it's because of watering there living sculptures. I pick them because there hardy in the winter months. And the care helps in the winter months. Do you have air plants.? Proporgation is important if you really like the plant or the plant's 🪴 The region or climate.🌵that's the watering part. Area circulation is important.🪴 Tiny gardening especially in the urban areas. Small container growing spaces.🪴 And yes the more light they change color. Very nice. 👍

I love succulents, just not lucky to propagate more 'coz it easily die under my care. I tried my best to take care of them but all of them died except one that I bought super matured stem. I have lots of haworthias and cacti though and they are so beautiful and is thriving. My location is in the middle east. Thank you Christian for giving us tips and care about plants. I helps me a lot. Keep it coming.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

I hear Haworthia are a bit easier to care for than Echeveria. They’re also very cute might need to add some to my collection.

[@nelissa20]

Yeah that's true and you can have more varieties to choose from. Taking care of them is somewhat like in between succulents and cacti. They are really so cute.

That's fantastic, they look so beautiful. I wish I can keep the few I have from getting leggy I also have them in a south facing window. I will use your method to look after them. If it's not too much to ask, can you please let me know where I can find the ceramic planters? I have 20 cacti & I would like to put 2-3 in the same pot. I think these planters would be perfect.

[@1101naomi]

I love succulents but do not have the light requirement they need so I’ve vowed never to buy them again HOWEVER .... every spring they are the first plants to come out and I can’t seem to resist the draw and end up buying a few. I love your collection! That first one you showed is a stunner. What do you do if for whatever reason the top portion separates from the stem? Can the stem be cut and placed in soil? I had a gorgeous one that looked exactly like a purple rose and one day it just tipped over and separated from the stem. I didn’t know what to do. I was hoping you would show us what you do when the succulent gets leggy and you have to chop the top off. I’m curious as to what you then do with the top.

[@Mako_683]

Take a look at Haworthias, as they do not require as much light. In the wild they're found in the shade of bigger plants. : )

[@haleysadventures3415]

Love the Tiny Burger…need to get one off those.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Ooh Haworthias , I saw a few I really liked. Didn’t knew they were a little easier to care for indoors than most. 😁

[@seaglass8940]

Lol, Haworthias are very tricky to care for in my book! After I killed two, I realized they absolutely must not be watered too often. All it takes is watering it one time when it doesn't really need it and it'll die over night! Oh, the humanity! Lol....

[@alptaranoglu]

@@seaglass8940 yeah if you care for them indoors you need to caut back on watering even more but once you get the hang of it it’s really easy

So my one in the house will be saved now. Thank you for your video. I have subscribed to your channel as well.

Deffinetly having them outside with at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight will really make a difference, they will grow healthier, more compact and their colors will be amazing.

[@plantladyhgtv9054]

Hi! I was so shocked to see how easy it is to propagate . I have killed a jade plant , I love clay pots . When I use them for succulents some how they don’t do well. Now that I see how easy propagation is I will try it . Do you use clay pots? How can you not over water when the clay takes moisture away quickly ? I now have a succulent which is doing very well , however I barely water it .
