- Warning. This video contains beautiful succulents which may be too seducing for some viewers and may cause you to run off and buy a whole bunch of succulents... Just kidding. This video features the current succulents in my collection right now. When I started my houseplant journey, the first few succulents I started with are the Aloe and Jade plant. This past year I’ve been adding a lot of Echeveria to my collection, like the Lola, California Queen, Ebony, Tiny Burger, Mrs. Richards and many more. I also started to add a few sedum succulents to my collection. I love the colors and shapes they bring into your home, especially amongst the sea of green houseplants in my collection. We also go over how to care for succulents such as lighting requirements and watering tips. We then finish off this houseplant video with some propagation of a few succulent leaves.

I just wish people giving a thumbs down would have an explanation.
How can you not like anything about him and his videos ??
And why give thumbs down? Threatened? He’s great! Thanks Christian! “Haters gonna hate.” Please keep up the great content.
@FactsRFacts222 ! Did I say I was entitled to?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion just like you are, and there’s nothing wrong with me wanting to know why they don’t like the video.
I wish you would say that shit to my face. That shit’s uncalled for.
@@lailadavids I love his videos
Where are all my succulent lovers at?! 🙋🏻♂️ What are some of your favorite succulents?
Me me ME I am 😍😍
Meeee My favorite in my collection is echeveria afterglow
Just getting into succulents the last year! My favorites are white-toned echeveria's (like Lola) and the "windowpane" types of Haworthia like Cooperi and Retusa! I love the "glass-block" look of 'em!
Echeveria Romeo and Lauii
🙋🏽♀️
Does anyone else LOVE the succulents growing all over the stem? It’s so beautiful and extremely unique among the plants
Me too,,
I’m loving the intro, also I have a few succulents but they rarely ever come with ID’s. New friend here 👍🏼🌿🌱.
Yeah, the ones I get at local grocery stores or big box stores just says succulent 😅 I often have to google to get an idea on the ID
Keep in mind that your aeonium kiwi has a different dormancy period compared to the rest of your echeveria. Aeoniums typically go summer dormant. Their growing season is when the weather gets cooler. Most aeoniums, including the kiwi, are also monocarpic. Meaning they’ll die when they flower. So when your kiwi flowers, you can chop off the rosettes that have flowered. The rest of the plant will survive and produce more offshoots.
Try to give your succulents as intense light as possible & more time between watering (water HEAVILY each time) to “stress” them out. This makes their colors more vibrant and pop out more.
Great channel! My plant journey started off with outdoor succulents and now I’m transitioning into indoor plants. Your channel’s been full of useful info! 🤙🏽
Yes, succulents can be a bit addictive...i have branched out and started collecting Haworthia...they are a bit more tolerant of the indoors compared to most succulents and cacti....all my echeveria's, jades, etc prefer to be outside and get some morning sun.
Succulents were a great place for me to start with plants because I'm definitely an underwaterer! Haworthia are my faves ❤️
I find taking care of succulents quite the challenge. My prayer plants give me less drama lol! I do have an ogre ear and just recently bought a vertical leaf succulet. The purple outline caught my eye.
Whaaat really prayer plant easier than succulents?! 😅 do you like to water your plants often Barbara 😉
Went out to buy potting soil yesterday & came home with 4 Ebony, a Rainbow elephant, a Spear Head Senecio & a Fish hook! Hahahaa... I'm Hooked!
the Aeonium and a lot of sedum like a little bit of cooler and damper weather. I believe the kiwi aeonium is summer dormant but will turn beautiful colors during summer to protect itself from the harsh sun. They also prefer very rocky and sandy soil. The soil for some of your succulents appear to be a bit black so they are probably too compact, wet, and "organic" for succulents.
I'm one of those that think they all look the same, lol. But the love you show for your plants is so sweet I am even happy to watch you talk about something I don't like hahahaha
They certainly do like light. I have my collection of around 200 in a greenhouse. They get watered once a week with rainwater from the bottom. Water is tipped into each plant's saucer and any remaining after a few hours is tipped away into a bucket to be used on other plants. Water is never wasted.
Great video as always! Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's always great to see what your up to! I love all the varieties of succulents and cactus there are to collect 💞 I don't think I'll ever have everything I want, but coming close to it lol. Love seeing your methods and learning different tricks from you. You never know what your going to pick up from a fellow gardener and that's why I love our community so much! I'm so happy to see more people getting into plants. Let's spread the word about the beauty that lies within each variety out there! Gorgeous, stunning and magnificent I say😍
Just recently picked up a few succulents so this video is perfectly timed 😃 I've been leary to buy them but glad I did... really enjoying them. Thanks for the tips, I'm sure they will come in handy in the future. 👍🌿
I live in tropical country with sun shining 365 days a year and I just start this new hobby a few months ago. I regret not starting this sooner. Thank you for the video
I have no idea why I’m watching this when I’ve literally killed every 👏🏼 single 👏🏼 one 👏🏼 of my succulents 😂😩🪴💀
Haha. Every single one of them?! 😅
@@CrazyPlantGuy Yes! 😂 I do not use the word literally lightly. I honestly think it’s because I need to keep them outside because my “bright, indirect light” isn’t enough for them 😅🤦🏻♀️
Thou shalll not overwater!
Keep trying (get cheap ones). I was so afraid to overwater, that I ended up under-watering. I think I’ve found the balance:-)
Just bring them back inside in the winter!
That was so beautiful to watch. I am new at succulents and am having some success. Totally different mindset with succulents but I love the challenge and rewards. Thank you for your tutorial!
Great information, I have about seven succulents, a group of taller ones follow the sun like sunflowers do, so I turn them about every two days to keep them balanced.
I'm a huge fan of succulents (and your channel!) but I've learned thru trial and error I don't have the optimal conditions in most of my house! I've gotten into Haworthia and having success with 2 varieties😊 I do have one Echeveria in my west facing window that's happy, so I'm happy!
I also love Haworthia!
Your succulents are beautiful, but the disclaimer at the beginning did it for me. I know I can always count on you to put a smile on my face.
I can’t wait to move some of my plants outside for the summer💚🙃
Your way of propagation is the easiest I’ve ever seen. I’m excited to try it your way. Thx
I’ve had a Silhouette for years now and never knew what it was called! I have mine in an east window and it has doubled in size and now has pink tips since moving it there. 😊
Love love LOVE my succulents. I have a lot of them & I still want more. 🌵
Beautiful echeveria collection 💜
I’ve had an Echeveria purpureum for 3 years. Gorgeous deep purple colour.
Thank you. I need to add that Echeveria Purpurem
Thanks for the tips! I just started buying succulents again with hopes I can keep them happy!
They can take quite a bit of sun (may need a slow adaptation to not get a sunburn); check for water needs every few days until you get used to them. I live in the desert and have some that get East sun ~5 hours; a few that get ~1 1/2 hours early afternoon, West sun: They are doing well. My jade goes outside on the east side when nights stay 55* and stay out until winter, unless it gets scorching hot. Just playing with how long my desert roses can stay outside; I previously kept them inside.
I am so addicted to succulents. So glad I found this channel
Beautiful Succulents love the colors also your pots is amazing 😍 🙏
Gr8 video! 💖 Enjoyed the warning in the intro.😉 Succulents are so beautiful & addictive! Your collection is lovely. I wish you well & hope you have a blessed day.😍💕🙂
Great video! I just started my own succulent collection and its like having my own little forest! Looking forward to watching more of your content :)
Love your video, I love unique looking succulents.
I love succulents , once you start you can't stop
Hi, like to show you what I have if you got a sec, hit my icon :)
the intro!!!!!
Haha. Thanks Lizz. 😁
Love the Tiny Burger…need to get one off those.
What a great video and collection! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
I have 200+ succulent and counting here in Ph but it seems like succulents are endless.Anyway,your collections is so pretty.
Wow. 200...Agree they seem endless, I was eyeing about 10 online today that I might want to get now. 😅
Really into succulents. Love the Snow Bunny. Crazy plant Guy, wonderful Man. Maria Montreal Canada 😻
Oooh yes, snow bunny is a beauty☺️
I got grow lights and just today decided to buy succulents. And boom you uploaded a Succulent video. Yay.
I want the Ice Green
Thanks Christian
Yay. Congrats.
I’ve seen others with succulents other a grow light and they do well.
@@CrazyPlantGuy thank you
Dude last year a family friend gifted me a succulent (echeveria black prince) and a begonia and now I have close to 14 succulents (some died and I had to propagate them so they're still in their tiny jars growing) and about 26 plants in my room I even started to mass propagate begonias lol
Hey dude you are crazy 😜. I always like your introductions!
I love the Echeveria Tiny Burger🥰
Me too. Definitely one of my faves from this bunch. ☺️
I ordered your colouring book today 😊. Excited!!!!!!!!!!
Yay. Hope to see you in a upcoming color and sip night. ☺️
I'm really into pachyphytums atm. They're so beautiful and comes in lots of colours too 😍
Oooh Pachyphytums. I’ve seen them before, they’re so adorable. Adding it to the list. 😁
@@CrazyPlantGuy Can't wait to see what your succulent collection looks like in a couple months time! :D
I love them. I haven’t been too successful with them so thank you for this video
They’re so adorable and fun to collect. As long as you can give a lot of light and not overwater they should be pretty easy to care for.
@@CrazyPlantGuy I didn’t know until just yesterday. Unfortunately I killed the ones that was in my kitchen. They were just 4 little ones. So I have one left in the house and the house I just recently bought has one outside that’s been growing for a few years. My neighbor told me not to water them the rain is all they need. So my one in the house will be saved now. Thank you for your video. I have subscribed to your channel as well.
I got several, love them all
I have never seen that Elsa before. I love it
Hi, like to show you what I have if you got a sec, hit my icon :)
Deffinetly having them outside with at least 5 to 6 hours of direct sunlight will really make a difference, they will grow healthier, more compact and their colors will be amazing.
I love succulents, I currently have panda kalanchoe, burros tail, ogres ear, haworthia, aloe vera, silver quill, echeverria lola. I did lose a few from mealy bugs, couldn't win the battle. You are right to introduce the slowly outside, put in a shady spot for starters, then dappled sun and so on
Hi, like to show you what I have if you got a sec, hit my icon :)
I love haworthias, they’re more adaptable to indoors and easier than most other types of succulents. Beautiful too
Ooh Haworthias , I saw a few I really liked. Didn’t knew they were a little easier to care for indoors than most. 😁
Lol, Haworthias are very tricky to care for in my book! After I killed two, I realized they absolutely must not be watered too often.
All it takes is watering it one time when it doesn't really need it and it'll die over night!
Oh, the humanity! Lol....
@@seaglass8940 yeah if you care for them indoors you need to caut back on watering even more but once you get the hang of it it’s really easy
Another key is Cover the pan with plastic wrap over the leaves allowing some air after watering will keep them warm and will grow in a sunny window or area. 🌞😊
I love succulents, just not lucky to propagate more 'coz it easily die under my care. I tried my best to take care of them but all of them died except one that I bought super matured stem. I have lots of haworthias and cacti though and they are so beautiful and is thriving. My location is in the middle east. Thank you Christian for giving us tips and care about plants. I helps me a lot. Keep it coming.
I hear Haworthia are a bit easier to care for than Echeveria. They’re also very cute might need to add some to my collection.
Yeah that's true and you can have more varieties to choose from. Taking care of them is somewhat like in between succulents and cacti. They are really so cute.
Love love lovee the gasteria hybrid little warty :)))
😎🤙🏽yeahThanks for the succulent video. Currently in the process of multiplying some echeveria from leave propagation. Long process but worth the time 🌿🌱
Glad you enjoyed it. Agree, a bit of a progress with leaf propagation but so worth it. Can’t wait. 😁
The Elsa looks faceted like a jewel. 😍
Oooh, that’s a great way to describe it. Jewel 💎
Please give this video a thumbs up, comment or share with your family and friends. It really helps the video and my channel out. As always, I appreciate you all. ❤️
Beautiful plants great job👍🏾

Love your videos!
Loong time no see. Hope u r doing fine. Take care. Thank you for the video.
Enjoyed this vid!
Yess pls more succulent content 🥰
Succulents are making a comeback. 😁
Bonjour.Merci pour cette vidéo ,elles sont toutes magnifiques.💚💚💚💚
Super flowers!👍👍👍
When they grow in there environment they grow tremendously. I've started my garden with succulents. I'm looking for picky pear.
I think it's because of watering there living sculptures. I pick them because there hardy in the winter months. And the care helps in the winter months.
Do you have air plants.?
Proporgation is important if you really like the plant or the plant's 🪴
The region or climate.🌵that's the watering part.
Area circulation is important.🪴
Tiny gardening especially in the urban areas. Small container growing spaces.🪴
And yes the more light they change color.
Very nice. 👍
Love echeveria,haworthia and crassula. Have some that are growing well.
Hi, like to show you what I have if you got a sec, hit my icon :)
That's fantastic, they look so beautiful. I wish I can keep the few I have from getting leggy I also have them in a south facing window. I will use your method to look after them. If it's not too much to ask, can you please let me know where I can find the ceramic planters? I have 20 cacti & I would like to put 2-3 in the same pot. I think these planters would be perfect. Thank you in advance & thank you for all the tips you provide. 😘
I'm just started they are so cute I got three of the ones you have but I will have to repot with the right potting soil. They are real fresh.
You shouldn't repot immediately you might kill them wait a bit until plant is used to the light
Hi, like to show you what I have if you got a sec, hit my icon :)
Hahhahaa I'm already sucked into the succulents and cacti world-running my own YT channel about them. Lovely collection, esp echeveria elsa
My favorite plants 🔥
I love the raindrop. It has bumps on it and they look like a raindrop on it.
Ooh right. They look like raindrops, great way to describe the leaves Vicky.
Wait til you get into kalanchoes..;). I think they are my favs right now especially the pink butterflies..nice video btw!!
Definitely acclimate them for outside...but once you do you will see them THRIVE will lots of growth and babies and flowering and vibrate colors that change with more sunlight. 💚🌵
I’m so excited to see the change that having them outdoors will do. 🤩 can’t wait. lol
You're right. I'm about to clean out my local plant shop. I'm sending you the bill 😁❤️
You will see such a change in color once they go outside! It'll be great! Yes to introducing them slowly to sun !
Nothing worse than burnt succulents. Nice video!
Beautiful collection! I have no idea what my echeverias are haha, one i think is perle von nurnberg but others, no idea. Also have senecio cephalophorus Mountain Fire, senecio barbertonicus himalaya, and one other i dont know, maybe tree aeonium. Most of them are from grocery stores, so usually the ID is just "succulent variety" 😅 oh, and also few spiky guys, the cacti gang!
Hi, like to show you what I have if you got a sec, hit my icon :)
I love the intro 😂😂
Your succulents are so pretty!! I had a elephant bush that died one leaf at a time.I definitely didn’t over water it,it received good sunlight. Not sure what happened.Any tips for next time?
Very nice
Chopsticks and succulents is a good information for succulents also.
Nice collection
Love your videos! Where do you get your succulents? I am not a fan of the ones at big box stores sometimes
would love a video about taking succulents outside, like when is too early, hot much sun is too much?
Wow!Happy to subscribed to you!
I highly recommend that you research some greenovia succulents. They are the most like roses. Very rare to find in the US but can be ordered via eBay usuallt
Love the focus on succulents! Just FYI that hen and chicks is the nickname for sempervivums, not aeonium.
Its a common name for both as well as Echevaria. This is why I like Latin names
@@tonybezanson9625 Oh interesting! And very confusing lol. In the local nurseries, hen and chicks are never aeonium, always only sempervivums.
I love your Chanel
I have more than 100 succulents but I don’t know the ID of each of them but today from this video got to know the id of few of them. Thank you so much 😊
I laughed at the viewer discretion in the beginning, but y’all, it’s no joke.
I LOVE UR VIDS!!
I saw a cacti lady say to wait to water until the leaves get soft or crinkled.
I usually wait until they get soft. I probably wouldn’t wait to a point where they get crinkled, that’s pushing it to getting dehydrated and crispy. 😅
I love succulents but do not have the light requirement they need so I’ve vowed never to buy them again HOWEVER .... every spring they are the first plants to come out and I can’t seem to resist the draw and end up buying a few.
I love your collection! That first one you showed is a stunner. What do you do if for whatever reason the top portion separates from the stem? Can the stem be cut and placed in soil? I had a gorgeous one that looked exactly like a purple rose and one day it just tipped over and separated from the stem. I didn’t know what to do. I was hoping you would show us what you do when the succulent gets leggy and you have to chop the top off. I’m curious as to what you then do with the top.
Take a look at Haworthias, as they do not require as much light. In the wild they're found in the shade of bigger plants. : )
I love succulents, I have one that is growing so big, I might have to repot it again. How often do you repot them?
I have full gown succulents in water and the roots are just growing from the stems yay exciting! Can I leave them in water forever?
@crazyplantguy. I have tried the those ones that have the flower shaped leaves when to water touches it the leaf fall off . Think I'm doing it wrong . Will be trying it again after watching your video .
Great intro 😆 My first succulents were a Black Prince (has amazing red flowers) a chalkboard finger with some hens and chicks in a pot together. Now I have a bunch of echeveria and jade plants. Get the ogre ear! There is lady here on PEI who has the most amazing collection which she arranges so beautifully. You just have to see it to believe it.
The Ogre ear sounds so cool. 😁 thanks, love to see a real massive succulent collection.
Harry Watson
Fred Ives
Echeveria Morning Beauty
Adolphii
Pachyveria glauca
Kalanchoe Flapjack
Jelly Beans
They are still alive so they are my favorites! 😆
Oooh. These are nice. Will definitely be adding a few to the list. 😁
Succulent: “oh baby when you talk like that , u make a women go mad , so be wise and keep on reading the signs of my body”
CPG:🤤🤤🤤iam falling❤️❤️❤️
She didn’t date the gardener. He was too rough around the hedges.
I feel you...I tried 2 succulents to try and was addicted ending I have 30 so far.
Bwahaha 😅 I was checking out 10 online and will most likely get them tonight.
Big fan sir can you please make a video of how to propagate golden aralia 🙏
I like your video started to intro the succulent world, but one thing, you might noticed your succulent kinda neglected and not compact tho, for colour to more show you have to more stress them and also the temp different it does makes them change colour too
LOLL the intro
