Thank you!
Helpful video full of spectacular display ideas, Thank you 😊
So beautiful thankyou for sharing your beautiful videos
Thank YOU, Maria, for leaving a lovely comment!
I agree. If there are many pot styles it looks like a hodge-podge. Put them all in the same color and it instantly looks "designed."
Thanks, Tina!

Hi Debra!! 🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️First time in your channel!! Just subscribed. Very good information...thank you!!!
Thank you so much! Great ideas. More like this would be wonderful.
Good to know. Thanks, Lynda.
As always very informative and enjoyable ❤️❤️
THANK YOU!!
What a great tutorial and so informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
Much appreciated! Thanks!
Nice video. I enjoyed learning about the three principles to use to group succulents and seeing how creative gardeners have set up their gardens. Thanks for sharing this video.
Thank YOU for a lovely comment!
Thank you, Debra. I never have liked my messy pot collection. I tidied up, but it still looks disorganized. I have work to do now! Great ideas!
I could do a whole video on pot editing. I didn't show all my unused pots, crammed and stacked on a baker's rack also in the side yard. Hm.
What a beautiful video, it’s exactly what I needed! 😃
I'm glad! Thanks for the comment!
Like this mix of yours & sample of other people’s for ideas. I prefer terra cotta & white pots so I see the plants rather than the pots; except for VERY FEW isolated ones that have special meaning.
I often say that terra-cotta is a neutral in the garden.
Thank you Debra I have so many succulents and I do not know how to arrange them that video hit me right at the spot I’m going to be really busy
Yay! Thank you!
Lots of good ideas and examples - This makes me think about regrouping my tons of pots! Thank you!
Thank YOU, Kathleen!
I’m in love with your channel. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
Well aren't you the nicest! Thank you RRG!
This video is so excellent! I really enjoyed it and learned a lot!
Thank you so much, Nancy!

Awesome
So many possibilities!!
Great advice Debra, It's the very problem with my growing collection that has had me stagnate with ideas of how to display them without it looking mishy mashy!
"Mishy mashy" is the perfect way to describe it. If asked for a one-word description, I might have said "entropy" --- Lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder.
Couldn't 'like' more.👌
What a great comment. Makes me happy.
thank you very much, excellent video. 🥰
Thank you, Miriam!
Excellent
Very helpful, thanks!
Thank YOU.
Gorgeous pots and fantastic matching.
Sadly this is not a poor mans game, the plants multiply but not the pots
So true!
You have wonderful pots. That's one thing I find difficult to find here in Hawaii. Perhaps online I'd have better luck. Thanks for doing this video!
Thanks, Anne. I wonder why pots are hard to find in Hawaii. Maybe their weight, considering everything has to be shipped?
Even if elevated, insects can still access the pots. Ants can crawl for example.
They do indeed. Ants try to overwinter in my potted aloes and haworthias. Here's how I deal with them debraleebaldwin.com/caring-for-succulents/ants-in-your-succulents-what-to-do/
Hello Debra, I have a question about my Kalanchoe plants . They look fantastic but I am noticing the past two morning that the leaves are beginning to fall off The plant. I live in Northern California and they are in a sunroom facing the south.
Hi...uh...xCHOP, rather than try to guess what might be going on (there are so many possibilities) I'm going to recommend you visit my website, which has extensive info on kalanchoes, succulent troubleshooting, and care. Use the Search bar or simply browse. Https://debraleebaldwin.com.
@@QueenofSucculents thank you so very much ! I love your channel , very informative and So many great videos , I’ve spent a few hours already browsing all the awesome videos. I’m goin to pot more elephants food now. I never knew how awesome they were for cleaning carbon and producing oxygen. I loved your backyard bird feeder video and the series introducing Dick wright. Thank you for being so pleasant and uplifting. I really enjoy your personality and content
@@xCHOPZx Thank YOU for a lovely, encouraging comment!
@@QueenofSucculents Thank You for helping provide me w so much helpful info to inspire me even more with my succulent collection and take more care of my local birdies. Happy Thanksgiving 🍁!
Such a wonderful video full of clearly presented design elements and the hows and why’s of implementing them. Many gardens already have the plants, pots and structures to design with but what’s lacking is an aesthetic ‘eye’ . That lack can be compensated for by simply applying the approaches that you have outlined herein. ~ Gary and Wanda’s display shelves housed with protection from the elements are both practical and attractive. ~ I hand water my entire garden. As you noted, it gives you the opportunity to closely cultivate your plants. ~ Over the past year I created a new part of my garden. I used Buddha images as a repetitive element. If you are interested, I would like to share the garden with you through a video I titled Exotic Cactus and Succulent Garden. It’s a work in progress but I think you might enjoy it.
Your garden is marvelous! I subscribed.
@@QueenofSucculents - Thank you kindly. I think some of the videos I’ll be posting will be of enjoyable interest to you. Coastal California flora is endlessly fascinating!
