Succulent Tips For Beginners!

[@faithgibbs4913]

Great information. I’m new to the succulent world. I just love them. The terra cotta pot seems really the best vessel for them. Thanks and stay well.

[@EverythingPlants]

Thanks Faith. I use terracotta for most of my houseplants due to their ability to dry out quicker. I did not use or recommend these pots for something like a calathea that require that constant moist soil. Now you are well on your way to buying tons of succulents....it is very similar to the "hoya hole". Once you start, you can't stop hahaha

[@dianeblack8849]

Absolutely agree with terra cotta pots..actually for most of my plants..I'm one who has overwatered and terra cotta helps with that too. I don't really like grow lights, so my regular LED household lights are on most of the day. I like your care tips and suggest a little water color paint brush would probably help dust the plants since some like burros tail, etc. will fall apart so easily if handled. I guess we all have ideas and can pick and choose what works for us. Thank you for your videos and I hope this new year will be a good one for you and your family.. God bless you and yours from New Jersey.

See....this is why I love this community and forum. I never even thought to use a water colour paint brush for cleaning the leaves. So simple and genius! Thanks for that Diane.

I started off with mostly succulents, and they are lovely but for the most part I don't have any anymore. A few different jade plants and maybe one other. I struggled with giving succulents enough light, then they would get so stretched out, and I'd chop and prop, which always felt like starting over.

[@EverythingPlants]

That is a tough one. I also over watered when I started out. It is all a learning process.

[@katrinaponce4602]

What temps should they be in? I live in a hot area where it gets above 110 degrees.

[@EverythingPlants]

Are you growing them indoors or outdoors?

[@kaktus_cactus]

Great video, I also have a series of videos -the guide for the cacti beginners and other films.

@@EverythingPlants I’ll keep an eye out for a ficus shivereana too. Didn’t even know they existed until I saw your Instagram story and they are available here 🇦🇺.

[@EverythingPlants]

@@amber6326 you are in Australia? I've been waiting for like three years for someone to finally send these plants to Canada and share them lol

[@amber6326]

@@EverythingPlants I sure am! I have no idea how to post a plant but if I find a small one I’ll let you know.

[@vivianfrankielam1147]

hi, I have the plant that you pointed at the time" 5:30". The stem of my plant is very soft and when I squeeze it, water comes out. How can I save the plant? well, my mom cut the top part of the plant, because the bottom is dying.

[@EverythingPlants]

Yes. Cut it back to only a healthy section then let it callous over for a couple days then stick it back into soil to root.

[@dianaduncan8877]

Thanks for the tip. That's. Probably why mine die. Not the correct soil and pot.

[@EverythingPlants]

I think these are so important. Over watering is always the succulent killer, but definitely help to limit that. Good luck Diana!!!

[@TeresaKing-m1l]

I have a succulent that came in a plastic tall pot with holes all around the base. The rooster has grown so tall and is leaning. I know it needs replanted cause the pot is full of adult and baby's. I have never tried that before. Can you please help me?

[@mandystaton3597]

How do you get a succulent that looks more like a tree like you have?

[@EverythingPlants]

I have many Jade videos on my channel that show how to get that tree structure.....plus it's also just time and maturity lol

[@delronak]

Hi where are you? I need your help for my jade it is very large and i need someone to pruning and propagate it could you please help me?

[@teuth]

i am currently scouring your content for glimpses of the lactea lmao

[@flavioxy]

I hope my escheveria will thrive although i mistakenly potted it into normal soil :D

[@EverythingPlants]

It should do fine, just lightly water when you do

[@dochollidae1972]

Is that where you normally keep yourPearl's?

[@EverythingPlants]

No, I keep them near my south facing window. Check out around 5:00 into this tour video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4itoneEpZKpbsU

I have been growing succulents for the past 2-3 years, and I have definitely learned a lot over the years, but I'm still not having, what you'd call, great luck either! Give me some helpful tips!

[@EverythingPlants]

What do you want to know??? I have many Jade and succulent videos on my channel if you are interested

[@rachelmiller8323]

Every time I throughly water my succulents, the soil feels completely dry three days later, almost dusty. Most are in plastic or ceramic pots with drainage holes and in commercial cactus soil. What is happening and should I wait several weeks anyway?

[@EverythingPlants]

The plant might need to be repotted into a larger pot. It sounds like it is soaking up that water too fast.

[@rachelmiller8323]

@@EverythingPlants I repotted and it seems to be a lot better. Thank you!

[@His.Heart.]

you can clean off succulent leaves with a makeup brush instead of paper towel.❤❤❤

[@EverythingPlants]

That's actually a wonderful tip...thanks!

[@HoneySparkles2]

Beware when your clay pot is wet frrom heavy rain, it can break apart if you pick it up from the lip..😢
