[@angiehorn3280]

Watching some videos I've never seen before as a relief from all this madness. Your voice is so calming. Thank you for what you do.

[@usafmagpie]

going thru your earlier videos and comparing them to your 2020 videos. You were so calm, quiet, hesitant and almost fearful. :-) I love how confident and knowledgeable you are in 2020.... you have grown so much! Keep it up girl

[@Lexifyification]

Going through some older videos, you both have grown so much as a content creators.

[@cocob6849]

Am viewing this today, 1.03.2020, and was thinking the exact same thing! Very proud of how far she's come and how much she's grown in this venue!

[@lisac.norman8096]

beautiful Laura!!!

[@5greatdayswithhim636]

I use used coffee grounds to fertilize my plants and it works wonders!

[@gardenanswer]

+5GreatDays WithHim Nice! I'll have to give it a try!

[@krisakfoxer9062]

Super useful. Thanks❤️

[@hellodarling9073]

Here in 2021! 🙂🙂

[@littlebeebs1]

Is this breathable like clay would be ? Very cool idea. I was just thinking the other day that one could mix perlite or pumice with cement and make a planter that would be breathable cuz it has the porous pumice . I’m gonna try this . Finding shallow planters is kinda hard 😊Thank you so much for this 🤗🤗🤗

[@SUNNYBEACHINVEST]

U are so cute here. x I love your videos, keep eye on them till today x

[@ramelescobar486]

can you use an ordinary fertilizer to fertilize your succulent

[@tobygraham4141]

What is the moss called?

[@rinyajamestasar1819]

if its raining for ten fiften days should we water the succulents or wait

[@sandy3262]

Could you propagate ivy in water

[@skyjaymom]

I am heading to Bend this weekend. Is that where you are located? Any good nurseries I can hit while I am there?

[@AnushkaKhasnobish]

This is really awesome video. I just had one question. So, in my local nursery, I saw pre-arranged mix of succulents in a put. I really wanted to get those or come back home and make one of my own. But my question is, how do you water the container if it is arranged in a way like you did where the succulents are crowded together? Because usually I think we are advised to only water the soil and not the leaves to avoid leaf rots or stuffs like that. So what is your advice in this case ? How to water and maintain such succulent arrangement? Thank you again for the video :)

[@langell77]

If you use a watering container with a straight neck that tapers into a smaller opening instead of a nozzle spray type opening, you can put the tip right on the soil and pour the water. Do that between each plant and that way you are getting under the leaves and not on them.

[@margomartin2383]

Wish you would give the names of the succulents that you use.

[@Crystal-be9ze]

Was that live moss? I was under the impression that live moss doesn’t pair well with succulents because of the water requirements being so different, I also was told to only water once a week? I’m so confused

[@Bbzjnsj]

great information video on succulents and cacti! Question: when the plants have become overgrown and it's time to repot, is there a way to re-use the top pebble decorations, or do you just dump them and start over?

[@oceanbay5624]

Kathleen Wojtkowski I always reuse the top pebble decorations. If the pebbles are big enough, collect them by hand, if the pebbles are small ones, collect them by spoon.

[@mskimsoprano8582]

Where do you get all your succulents?

[@karinahern8206]

I can’t find part 2 to this video 😢

[@donnacline6618]

When you water the plant doesn't it leak thru the bottom from the drainage hole?

[@gardenanswer]

+Donna Cline Hi Donna! I put a saucer under it to catch the extra water! :)

[@patriciamorrow8932]

I think you're my new "go-to" person for succulents!

[@anitaherron5778]

So is the moss just to be pretty? I still have yet to find cactus potting soil. Maybe I should try online.

[@ecampbell5837]

I have found cactus soil and succulent and palm soil at Walmart now.

[@socialbutterfly2326]

Do you ever find having problems with gnats with the moss inside?

[@gardenanswer]

+Sherry Howard I have had that problem before and usually fix it by tossing the moss and as much of the soil that's in the pot and replacing it with new, and also couple that with using an organic insecticide to spray that soil and moss thoroughly every 5-7 days or so until the problem is gone! :)

[@patriciamorrow8932]

Just wondering if tossing in a piece of orange or lemon peel would deter gnats?? Just an idea.

[@susanbismack5041]

Is there a part two?

[@gardenanswer]

+Susan Bismack There was, but we deleted it! I used to put layers or gravel on the bottom of non-draining containers and that's what I did in part 2, but have since learned that layers of gravel are not good! :) I use straight soil and no fillers in containers now and my plants do so much better! I'm always learning something new! :)

[@patriciamorrow8932]

You don't use stones or fillers? What about CHARCOAL?? Is t that essential? Thanks

[@marciad3452]

[@MissChaksShack]

Is there a reason everyone plants so many succulents in one planter? Do they coexist in a planter well or does one try to take over the rest? I love the multiples in one planter look but one that I have lots like it is being overwhelmed and I'm not sure how to separate them.

[@gardenanswer]

MissChaksShack I like to put lots of them in the same container because it just look so pretty. :) They do live happily for quite awhile in close-quarters, but eventually you do have to separate them. I've found that it helps to not fertilize as often, so they won't grow as quickly. I can also take cuttings and harvest pups if any of them are starting to spread to slow the process down. When I decide that they need to be separated, I either take them all out by making cuttings out of them, or gently pull them apart and replant. I think I should add that process to our video to-do list... :) ~Laura

One of the succulent is eticulated
