Tips on Tackling Root Bound Succulent Arrangement

[@marthabourassa7909]

I had a eureka moment when you said “There’s no point in watering plants that don’t have any roots. How are they supposed to intake it.” It was a succulent epiphany. Thank you!

[@silversolution7027]

That's one shell of an arrangement!! love.

[@Brother_Nature.]

Hi Laura that plant you were asking about is called "Ruby Necklace or String of Rubies" it's scientific name is Othonna Copensis and its an aggressive grower. I have some growing in sphagnum moss pocketed in a palm tree in my back yard. Thank you for the video! Awesome as always.

[@littlebeebs1]

That plant you asked about the ID on is Ruby Necklace. They turn a gorgeous purple with lots of sun . I’ve seen them turn pink in pictures . I love them 🤗

[@AngelaAndrews2010]

Ruby necklace is the purple plant! Beautiful! 🥰🙏🏻

[@jenniferlasko5688]

Stunning as usual !!!

[@mariaborza1418]

Amazing to see you back at what we all adore 🥰😘😘😘😘😘

[@plantsetc.4690]

Welcome back Laura!We miss you!

[@m.wright168]

What a joy to watch!! Thanks for sharing 🪴💚🪴💚🪴💚🪴💚🪴

[@readingmaniac54]

I live in Riverview Florida. We are 9b and my succulents grow so many babies. I love arrangements. You are a good teacher. Your arrangement came out nice.

[@jackiekurz68]

I didn’t realize how much I missed you until I had you back. You are my antidepressant, lady. Thank you for being so lovely.

[@jenniferwheeler1710]

I second that motion! Thank you from Rochester, NY - Zone 6 🪴🌦☃️

[@garygilliam1890]

😊

[@jeandorris4468]

Thrillers, spillers and___! I’ve forgotten what goes in the blank. Love the arrangement and your planting artistry

I wish I could have some succulent like those one. 🥺 so colorful❣️ Hi ma'am, thankyou for the ideas. I'm from Philippines👋

[@annazielinska3205]

How nice to watch you and your succulents, when it is snowing in Poland... Thanks and regards!

[@suekrammer]

It’s currently 27 degrees here in Michigan, and yes I am living vicariously thru this video. Thanks Laura, for letting me enjoy your repotting this arrangement. I will be doing a faux succulent wreath, after this video, for my front door. Just the inspiration I needed, to play with plants today.

[@kathrynhalbrook2063]

I love spending my lunchtime with your videos! You have such a gift for being so natural while you provide such good info that regular people can use! I’ve learned so much from you and mostly you’ve given me so much more confidence. Thank you, Laura.

[@janecurtis5726]

I could watch you deconstruct and reconstruct succulent plantings all day long! Being in zone 6a means that I am gardening with you virtually and immensely enjoy all your videos no matter what time of year. For now, I do have windowsills and a long table at a south facing window (some lights for less than sunny days), with all my succulents. The Tillandsia really added some nice texture to the arrangement.

[@Annathranholm]

I agree. I have currently 3 degree weather. So I,m not doing anything in my garden. 🥶

[@marilynrich]

Super lovely clam shell 🐚 Thanks Laura! 😘

[@lindasmith9699]

So nice to have something to watch while it is snowing here in Texas!

[@priscillalopez9297]

Hope you and others are ok. Including the animals and insects. I am praying for all.

[@samuelebraccini8645]

It's Always a pleasure to watch your videos 💚👍🔝✔ Thanks 💚💚💚

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Hi Laura good morning hope you and your family have a wonderful Valentine's Day are plants do look amazing beautiful have a blessed day

[@andreytsankov6205]

THE QUEEN HAS MADE HER RETURN!

[@kkilljoy3588]

Laura - This isn’t a criticism of how you’ve handled your clamshell planter - it’s gorgeous and done well for years so obv it’s working for you! But I have some experience w drilling drainage holes (and not drilling drainage holes haha) into planters of many materials I can perhaps share w you. I bought a set of diamond edge drill bits for drilling holes from Amazon years ago and despite buying them lived in fear of them. I was terrified of ruining the favorite planters I bought them to drill holes into. But hole-less planters are only semi functional.....and eventually I got tired of babying them and wo-manned up and learned to use them and use them well. As a fan of your channel (yours was the first channel I ever subbed to years ago though I’m not here to enjoy it as often anymore it holds a special place in my heart - and got me over my fear of succulents and helped me stop accidentally massacring them to boot! My yard is now more succulents than anything else and I’m proud of it 😁) I would be honored to be able to offer you a token of my appreciation back in some small way. I’m in central OC not far from you; I don’t know if you are ever this direction or not. I would be happy to teach you to use diamond drill bits via your virtual consult method should you happen to have your own bits currently. I would also be happy to gift you a set if you told me where to send them. Alternatively, if you were traveling through OC I would be happy to teach you in person sometime. Just message me back if this interests you - and zero offense taken if it doesn’t/life is too busy/that isn’t your thing/you never see this comment. Best wishes.

[@denisedewire1091]

So glad you're back!! Thanks for all your inspiration!

[@natividadreyes4703]

You're so energetic ....I love it!!!,❤️💪😍

[@lisavelazquez9616]

Purple stem plant is most likely Othonna capensis a.k.a. 'Ruby Necklace'

[@ohitsjustlovely]

Yes! Sometimes these look like they have mealies on them but they are not mealy bugs. I killed this plant with too much alcohol trying to get rid of the fungus/mildew/whoknowswhat that grows on it because I thought it was mealy bugs but I guess it’s a thing (www.reddit.com/r/succulents/comments/dcvb2a/ruby_necklace_issue_is_this_mildew_or_just_how/) These get BEAUTIFUL and bright red when stressed. You’re gonna love it since I think you mentioned the side you put it on will get lots of sun :)

[@gabrielagalvanmonsalve5036]

This is such a beautiful plant! It turns purple, it's really stunning! 😍

[@lewisjake4691]

You all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me

[@daxtonlukas8892]

@Lewis Jake instablaster ;)

[@lewisjake4691]

@Daxton Lukas i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@doraavila6609]

I love watching you work a new arrangement. I have learned so much from you over the years.

[@margaritasydney7356]

Yes I have one too likes the shade but can go very red in full sun, loves water

[@marthahernandez191]

Welcome back. This video was just what I needed to complete my Sunday. 🌵👍

[@debranielson8670]

Awhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh--Utah says that was good for me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loving your sunshine! Still amazes me that you can cut a plant's head off and just stick it in the ground and it GROWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@laurinutting961]

So happy you are making videos again. a foot of snow in pnw. Won't be dry enough here to play with succulents for months. Thank you for your videos. I enjoy them so much!

[@RC-mc6rc]

Loved this! Especially the length of it. So relaxing to watch! I hope you’ll do more like this😉

[@BellsRing]

Watching you makes me realize I'm too gentle on my succulents lol.. you inspire me to worry less about hurting them because they're tougher than me

[@MrsBradleyMia]

Beautiful beautiful Laura❤️❤️❤️. I have 3 big (not as big as yours he he ) shells myself and I am thinking I might do like what you did. Thanks and have a wonderful weekend.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😘😘😘

[@lizett8591]

So much fun to watch you do your magic! I'm really enjoying trying my hand at redesigning areas of my yard. I started with pots. I really like my pots but I prefer in ground work . . . At least for now. 😊🌵

[@paulashuger4295]

Thank you so much. 🙏⭐️😘😍😍😍😍👏🏻🙏❤️⭐️⭐️😍😍🥰

[@cbasallie]

So her I sit, binge watching Laura Eubanks when suddenly a brand new vid pops up!!!!! This is awesome!

[@jenniferfinch8929]

Ruby necklace! When stressed all purple👍

[@cookiemon4614]

Clam shell looks great now. Have a super day guys

[@naegwut]

Crazy roots!!! Clam 🐚

[@catherinemiles8021]

Love how you pull it apart and make it beautiful again.🥰 I love the sound of the virtual consulting I have a small piece in my front garden that I would love some input I’ve been procrastinating what to do🤔🥰🤗

[@SanIgnacioBCS]

Ooooo. Yum, yum, yum. What a beautiful mass of succulents!

[@bfitnessforlife]

love this video and all the sunny rays from CA! that clamshell is absolutely golden, nature is fantastic. I also love your hanging gutter planter on your fence and would love to try. but considering I live in Sweden I think my options of growing succulents outside are limited. great content!

[@charlottedarylltraces1180]

Hi maam laura super duper nice maam i love it,,, take care always!!!

[@amesacres8261]

Loved this video, and yes you are supporting my need for gardening since I am in zone 4. Not much going on here yet. Thanks for your wonderful video !

[@LiveAboard]

I love how, even as a "succulent professional", your pots get root-bound too. Makes me feel a little better about my "mothering" of succulent skills! Bless you Laura for showing us the good, the bad and the ugly.

[@herminiamcgill9725]

Laura that plants the you found in your backyard is a Ruby Necklace, good on hanging basket too turns purple in sun” othonna capensis”

[@kylei.4081]

Just indoor gardening for me during this cold month. Looking forward to may!

[@akangkang6393]

More videos on revamping ur arrangement, its satisfying to watch 🥰🥰🥰

[@pennylane9155]

I love the re worked clam shell Laura, it looks amazing!

[@rosemarieguerra641]

I am a first time subscriber and live in Arizona. I can watch your videos all day.I am so excited to stsrt my garden. I have a area facing north with shade, little sun so Im going to need lots of help with this. Going to my neighborhood nursery to start.

[@LauraEubanks]

Welcome to the channel!

[@shanepaton5089]

The plant your asking about is string of beans, its pretty hardy. I live in Australia and had it in a hanging planter before moving it to a planter box with it over hanging. I have two plants and they have both done well in the hot aussie summer getting the hot morning sun

[@melissamiew4056]

Gonna go do some succulent shopping next week i hope. Hello from Canada by the way. -51 Celsius today. Thank you for letting me enjoy the process in a time where i can't. All the love. :D

[@luisacalderon717]

Just in time! I have several “hot messes” to tackle myself. Great inspiration. Saludos desde Metepec, México.

[@goldengod.genesis]

Hola 👋🏽 es lindo encontrar alguien de México

[@nathryl03]

Thank you so much for your videos :) Here in zone 4b all I can see outside is 2 feet of snow and the indoor plants aren't doing much so your videos fill my need for plant life

[@kathygilbreath6073]

Love it and enjoyed it very much!!

[@marilouperham145]

Thank you for uplifting us.....my garden/yard is covered with over a foot of snow. (Long Island NY)

[@yesikalopez6211]

You are the best.👍

[@alanad9202]

I am living through you since it was -26C here in Canada yesterday. I can only start seeds. Thanks for the videos, I love when you rework and cut up plants.

[@SHARONSHORTOrchidsandGarden]

😄😄"these plants have a way of figuring it out!"😄😄😊💓💓

[@brendahill416]

Love the planter!

[@sedumzz3289]

1 hour late! :( I think the purple plant is named Othonna capensis. A truly beautiful and crowded arrangement! The shell is so beautiful.

[@jessicahughes6964]

Beautiful arrangement! I’m 8b and our high temp today is 76 so I’m getting a little bit of gardening done :)

[@mybeeskneeslavendercottage3759]

Love this when you pulled this out I’m always so surprised at how resilient our succulents are... garden of death 😂😂😂 your awesome

[@evanhodgson3104]

"GARDEN OF DEATH" I have one behind the green house next to the chook run 😊 oops chicken 🐔 run. it's amazing how things continue to grow there .

[@ElMikeydc]

I live in Memphis TN and it’s snowing right now. Wish I was in my home town in Martinez CA. Your lucky.

[@priscillalopez9297]

Depends, Gavin Newsome is destroying us.

[@karenamalfi8551]

This is my favorite video of yours, and I don’t really know why. I just loved it 🥰

[@jasonpollock9798]

Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing.

[@debbielummus4637]

Beautiful! So happy to have you back. You have been missed🌿💚🌻

[@vindictivetiger]

I love your glasses!!!

[@melindawallin3713]

Your mystery plant is a String of Rubies I believe A wonderful succulent

[@inos3697]

Sure have missed you, so glad to see you again. Ok, gonna tackle a grouping that needed to be regathered.

[@YimwonRai]

It's Ruby Necklace with the purple stem. When given right amount of light it will turn dark purple and beautiful.

[@Fabdanc]

27 minutes?! Delightful.

[@carmenb2920]

I really love what you do. Can you tell me where you got that clam shell? It's huge!!

[@mariaserna1472]

I love it 🥰

[@christinasimmons178]

Yes as other said, thats a ruby necklace, easy to propagate to make more of them. Just like the string of pearls. They like water tho.

[@gazizaempringham1346]

Thanks🌹, it looks so easy and fun 🤩

[@brittat3533]

💞 looks Fab...well done..I have smaller shells now I'm inspired! btw like yr sneaks 😉

[@ethan-youtubetips6577]

This deserves more views 👍

[@abayskitchen6028]

Hello! If I live near you, maybe I will ask you to give me all the cuttings that you will throw in the garbage, they are all precious and most of the succulents now are more expensive 😊

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Ur spiller is ruby necklace but I don't remember the botanical name. It turns beautiful reddish colors when stressed. I'm sure u know by now anyway.

[@gardenfreek5084]

Hey 👋 this is amazing! Would love to find the huge shell planter like that. What’s the huge blue tree behind you? Thanks 😊

[@beverlyasleson3321]

Looking better

[@b3VakaB3v3rLyMaRsh]

Growing in zone 7 im barley starting to see some growth in my succulent seedling. They’ve been dormant for the past 2 months and now they finally have some new growth!

[@xb5801]

Loved the video! By the way, is that a real shell? Where could I find shells like that??

[@stevevicki5671]

Well done! How about a few rocks in your clam shell? How about videos of highlights of your virtual consultations? After all, a concern of one person is probably a concern of nearly everyone!

[@cherylg63]

That’s absolutely amazing and beautiful! I live in the LA area. Since it is now March 11, and more rain on the way, should I keep my new arrangement which is mostly “rootless” out of the danger of getting too wet. Thanks!

[@spaciodecm]

WOW!
