I have been going through your succulent videos and have been having so much fun. This is great, I would love a giveaway. I never knew about no touching the leaves. And I am getting that syringe! Have a great day
Maggie you win!!! Congratulations! I'll send you a PM with the details! Enjoy the new succulents!!!
Garden Answer did you get all your winners??
And also I barely discovered your youtube channel like 2 weeks ago and I've been going through all your video. LOL.
They are supper helpful.!!
Garden Answer where do I look for my PM?
Garden Answer Hello beautiful! I loved the video. I have a question about grow lights I have quite a large succulent collection and have noticed some are starting to stretch out so I am now looking into grow lights however I have no idea what I am doing from everything I have seen I am incredibly confused. I have a shop light what bulbs would you recommend?
Maggie Marion: I think the PM pops up in your notification bell icon up in the right corner? Otherwise, try the Google+ page, that is linked to your CZcams-profile. I believe there's a messaging system there called Google Hangouts?
I hope that helps - and congrats on winning!
I just started collecting and growing succulents for a little less than a year. So far I have over 200 individual plants and 150 varieties. So my home is overrun with so many plants. Im located in NJ zone 6, which means my succulents are indoors during the winter and outdoors in a greenhouse for the summer. Typically I water my echeverias, sedums, hawothias, etc about every 14 days, my cacti about every 21 days, and my living stones every few months. Please keep in mind that my soil medium is not the same as Laura's, its a grit mix of 2:1:1 of Pumice, black gold cactus soil, and perlite. Its a fast draining and airy soil. My living stones are in a Zero soil medium made of Pumice, surface, and gravel chips.
During the summer I water my plants enough that the water will come out from the bottom of the hole, I do this because its usually very hot and it gives my plants enough water before drying out. Since they're in a greenhouse I try to control the humidity so I try to have it pretty dry inside.
During the winter I water my plants just enough so the soil is moist and try not to water too much. Indoors isn't as hot and it takes longer to dry. Like Laura I also use a large syringe for my bigger pots and a small syringe for my tiny pots. They're located on wire racks with grow lights.
I love succulents so much!! sometimes, when I'm at work and I find myself thinking of going home to take care of them and it's getting worse...the more you have, the less you think you have...
i'm actually obsessed with succulents. you start off with one and suddenly you have 72 in your bedroom lol
Markie Ellen I started off with one and know I have 8 and still proppating some!!
wish I had 72 in my bedroom.. Any room for that matter. lol
Right??? So addicting.
When I started off getting into plants I was way more into foliage plants and never thought I’d get into succulents. But once I bought my first one I never looked back. 90% of my plant purchases are succulents now lol
Markie Ellen yep, that’s where I’m at!
Markie Ellen so true...lol. I bought a shelving unit for my kitchen and have them all over my desk at work. 😊
I am so glad I have found you. My mother passed away in 1971 in Tucson, Arizona and she love succulents and everything in the desert. Thank you for taking me back to my teenage years spent with my Mom working with the "girls".lol
You have no idea how grateful I am for all of the very helpful tips. You are a Succulent whisperer! Thank you for the give away :)
P.S. I would love to see a video of you at the Succulent Source. A tour and tips from the family that own the place would be AWESOME!!
It's humid in North Carolina, so I usually drench the soil about once every two weeks. When I had them inside under a light they were stretching and drying out so fast, so once I put them out side they have been doing so well. Our aloe just started growing pups!
The succulents are so neat and so many different types. I am amazed you can pronounce all their names and remember what each is.
Thank you so much for all your videos. Great job...
Thank you for being such a great virtual teacher! I always look forward to my cup of coffee and my gardening lesson! Loving the succulents and can't wait to try making a tiered succulent wire basket today!
Careful guys, it starts with one succulent and before you know it you have 11 taking over your windowsills. Totally not speaking from experience, what are you talking about...
Hahahaha I just got my very first one today and I love it!! Already planning on so many more a cactus😂
especially if you bought a sedum morganianum as your first plant. woe to us the ones watching the leaves falling off, who would let go those beautiful babies XD
only 11?
Allison Kinney I’m with dawn, only 11? One of my good friends beat you, try 300
Yes you are lol same here
I just love succulents. It's like the only thing I can keep alive.
They have the most beautiful sculets I've ever seen. You really make them look even more beautiful on the way that you use them and arrange them. stunning!
I love the variety you got in this box! I look forward to watching the projects you use these for. I've always loved the different colors and textures succulents offer.
Thanks for sharing all your ideas and knowledge with us. I recently bought a home and we are filling it with the ideas you have shared and of course DIYing them ! Thank you !
Lily Nie i
Wow, I water way too much. Thanks for the information I think this may save innocent plants. Lol.
Laura Roberts, me too! 😉
Succulents are so beautiful, each with its own flower. Love making fairy gardens with them
I started a succulent baby family and I'm so glad I found your channel. I've now been OBSESSED and I love succulents now
perfect video to watch with my morning coffee!!! love the tips ... feel more motivated to order online!!!
Love it! I can never find good succulents in person but those are beautiful!
I had never really looked at succulents before. When I started watching your channel and listening to how excited you got receiving them and telling us how to look after them I had to go out and get some. Now I take cuttings and start them and give them to friends. Thank you for opening my eyes to this wonderful world of succulents!!!!!
I am addicted to these cute plants they are so easy to care for and so beautiful. Thank you for the succulent care tips.
I've been inspired to make succulent arrangements. I have a beautiful one my wife loves at our front door. I've also made a small one that we gave to a friend. I would love to have more succulent arrangements to have at home and make then give to family and friends.

I love succulents !!!! And bromeliads too
Thanks Laura for your articulate, concise videos, always informative and educational. I love them and watch them numerous times taking notes! Thanks!
Succulents are so beautiful! My mom always loved them and had a spot just for them in her garden
I need to get that syringe I was watering my succulents way too much since I'm a beginner!! Her videos are so helpful. This is the best giveaway ever!!!!
Selene Diaz where may we get the syringe?
I took all my succulent baskets down to my basement in November, put them all on a table under a led shop light, never watered once for the entire 1,2,3,4,5,6 months. They were shriveled a bit by the time I brought them up last week to repot new baskets, but all alive. I have since potted them all in their new baskets and they all plumped up, look beautiful, and they are all heading back outside tomorrow for the summer. 💗
Just started collecting succulents. Aside from they are so cute, I find them stress-free for me. Love them so much.
I love ❤️ ur succulents they r so cute and I am always impressed and obsessed with ur videos . Please do a fairy garden with succulents😀😀
Thank you for all that great information. What do you do with succulents that did start to elongate from the middle?
Move the plant to a brighter spot. Typically in a place where it gets 4-6 hours of morning light. This will help the plant to stop etiolation and continue to grow tight rosettes. You can let this grow but the part thats stretched will be weak. You can also cut the top (behead) and replant the rosette to another plant. Keep the stem where you cut because it might start to grow babies on the sides. Happy planting
I am so new to gardening and I am having a lots of fun with it. Watching the videos and learning about succulent plants gave me another perspective and I realized this’s my favorite plants.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
I'm so addicted to succulents and I'm so grateful for all you're informational videos. Thank you so much.
My name is Damian and I am a succulent addict.
Thanks for the tips, always helpful, I save you to Pinterest!
I 💗succulents!!
Great advice and there is nothing better than getting plant mail! Also when it comes to watering depending on the weather I water once a week or every other week.
As a new succlents lover I glad to see your videos....they help me take care of my babies
dang I'm about 3 years too late :(
glad i found ur channel!!
I completely agree 😅
Aaaa! Me too!
Love your video and plan to get more succulents and hope to win something just lost my husband need something to cheer me up
I recently received succulents from my Aunt in Seattle. She literally dug some up right before my flight home to Alabama and they traveled in my purse. I can't believe how resilient they are and how easy they are to care for. I'm looking forward to adding more to my NEW! succulent family. Thanks for all the tips and advice. I enjoy your channel!
Great video on succulents. I have had my jade tree leaves grow into new plants all on their own, once we found one we missed that had grown into a baby plant in a different pot! My grandmother, who was a houseplant fanatic, taught me to water my house plants once a week, I usually do the same will my succulents, but I give them less water. It keeps me consistent, so I don't forget.
I like the long videos! Please make a lot of your new videos super long
succulents!
I ❤ Succulents 🌵
I ❤ your account.
☺
I always love your videos! Succulents have been my first attempt at keeping any type of plant alive, and it's very exciting and empowering! It makes me feel like I've accomplished something every time I look at my tiny group of plants.
I got so excited over the unboxing of succulents, I ordered several that very same day! Just learning but I think I’ve found a passion! Thanks Laura for the lesson. Here goes nothing!
Hi Lauren
I have four succulents but for some reason the old leaves fall out and there are no new (leaves) coming out
Now I only have two left because the others died
Can you please give me some tips to help the succulent grow healthier
Also I used cactus soil and give them water every single week
I am not sure what kind of succulent it is and which fertilizer should I use
Thank you so much 😊
Btw I love your videos so much 😬
Lots of ❤️
Kamria
cactus soil doesn't work. you must mix it with 50/50 sifted perlite.
Succulents and amazing and beautiful and so easy to make a beautiful arrangements I have seen so many videos on how to do and I myself haven't had a chance to do it yet lol
Misti Tull the bad thing about arrangements is that they don't last. so if you want to keep your succulents I suggest having them potted normally.
I only water mine about once a month. and very very stingy. Just a tiny amount of water. notice how little she uses.
Caroline Edmiston (Cooki3Fairy) please water until it comes out of the drainage hole, they like a long drink.
Its been a month now since i started collecting cactus & succulent and now feel like addicted now. Watching your videos with all the ideas inspires me & collect more funny but this is true.. thank you for sharing.
My teen has started her first succulent garden - two plants so far. This gc would be a great gift for her!
I can't wait to watch your videos every time you post! I learn a lot and trying to get more of a green thumb. I especially love learning about succulents
I finally found a common interest with my teenage daughter! We'd just unbox ed our first order from The Succulent Source last week. She showed the same enthusiasm as you in your video, perfect timing as I was afraid we'd put our first arrangement together too soon after arrival. Looks like our only mistake was watering too soon. We love your videos and have you to thank for turning us on to succulents!
One of my favorites! Love your knowledge, tips and skills for gardening! It is so motivating! Love it all! 😍
I'm just getting into succulents and love love love them. We bought a house with a little garden full of succulent and I didn't want my husband to destroy them because he wanted to concrete that area to widen the drive-way. So I rescued them - of course I knew nothing about succulents, so I'm learning through videos like these. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
I love succulents. I live in Australia. We have hot summers where live so I am new to planting succulents so I love watching too see what to do and how to water and look after my succulents. Thanks.

I'm really getting into simple gardening for indoor areas and these just fit that Bill so well.
I just got into succulents a couple of months ago. Beyond the Chickens and Hens I have had for years, I never knew there were so many beautiful succulents. I love your sites and thank you for the opportunity to win succulents. Thanks as well for all the information when I need an answer.

Never before was interested in succulents, but now I'm hooked! Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes succulents are addictive. One of these days I won't have a place to put another one. They are so many. They are very beautiful and we can create wonderful combinations between them.
I've been inspired to spend more time in the garden ever since I started watching your videos last year!
Hi Laura! I love your channel. You inspire me to try new things and am always thinking of ways to improve my garden. I am currently in the process of propagating my succulents. I am so excited to see new blooms. Thank you for all you share with us. I have learned so much. Look forward to what you, Aaron and Dexter have in store for us!!!!
That was a lot of information!! But, you answered every question I had without me asking them! So thank you! I just found your channel a few days ago and have been watching like crazy! I’m beginning to collect my succulents for a project! I’ve always been afraid of them so I’m really excited! Thank you. 🤗
Succulents are just so beautiful and there are so many varieties. thanks for the tip on how to care for them.
I love succulents! I recently found your channel and I love learning new info on a variety of plants you have grown
Thank you so much for the video(s). I've just started to propagate based on your recommendations and it is great seeing roots appear so soon. Keep them coming!
I love your table full of succulents, they are like jewels with all the varieties available.
I love the arrangements you do, they're all so beautiful!!! And I love love love the succulent unboxings you make!
They are so pretty and is great to know about the mix and the food too... and love the little stuff too
My obsession for plants started about 2 months ago and it is only growing... I NEED MORE! thanks!
I also have been enjoying your videos on succulents, so much great information and things I’m happy to learn and wish I knew long before now!! Thank you so much sweetie for all your great tips!
I love your videos. I love succulents but was scare to do anything with them. But now I love knowing I can do all this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the great info. I have been having a horrible time with my succulents. From what I gather from your awesome info I water too much and I think my South Texas morning sun might be too much for them. You have inspired me to give them another try. I just love all of your videos and look forward to each one. Thanks for taking the time to make the videos.
Thank you Succulent Source and Garden Answer for the contest.
Love to watch your gardening shows! I'm hooked on succulents. I see them everywhere I go now! Thanks so much for all the info.
Thank you for sharing all your videos! I just love your enthusiasm and you are always a wealth of information. I am a succulent newby! And looking forward to learning all about them and starting a collection of succulents. I can't wait to start propagating my own!
Completely in love with succulents, such cute chubby things! 😍 Already have an extensive propagation tray started but I can't get enough of them! Love all your videos too - fave plant info source!
This is so helpful and I feel like I'll get obsessed but they're so beautiful. Thanks for the constant help!!!
Watching your videos and listening to your tips and tricks makes me smile. 😁
I love watching all your videos! You give me so much confidence to care for my own garden. Thank you!!
I bought the syringe you use and water my plants once a week using that. Depends on the container, if it is like the plastic nursery pots you are using here, I soak them and put them back under my lights. If it is in my terrarium I give just a light watering, same with my propagation tray.
This sounds so cool Laura! Love watching all you do! Good luck to us all!
Omg.... They are all so pretty... I would love to make a center piece for my living room table with some beautiful succulents. Thank you for all the useful information. Love all your videos!
I love EVERY video that has succulents in it
I'm so glad you did this video I just ordered a lot of seldums & succulents. & I'm not ready just get to plant them. Thanks, would love to get more as soon as I can!!
