Hi! I put the links to the stores in the video description. Los Gatos and Santa Cruz!

@xxrainwingdragonxx5988 I experienced something similar. I noticed when the weather got cooler and the plants came out of dormancy they seemed to fight off mealies with more success. They are definitely more susceptible to damage during dormancy it seems. This year was super bad for my garden. I lost a lot of good plants before I decided to start using chemicals. It is always a tough decision. Glad to hear yours are recovering!

@kathystotts5610 Thank you! Is it weird to say I love them so much?? 🤣 This hobby has made me so weird 😂

Thanks so much for your kind words! Rain is a huge challenge. The first year I planted the yard we had record breaking rain in CA. It was so sad to watch some plants die...I totally understand! The mounds have helped and the volcanic rock mixed in has helped with drainage. I still lose some stuff but not as bad as year one.

@@ForeverASucculentAddict Thank you so much!!

@@jshgeo 🤣🤣🤣 Thank you! ❤️

@@thecoolwitch Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! I need to do an update video. They are loving the new pots and the location and have grown so much!

Wow! Mine get yellow from sunburn on the top even under shade cloth 😞 They are such beautiful and amazing plants!

Thank you! I do leave them out all year. They do great under the protection of the tree. The front yard, however, is too rough on them and I lose any I put out there.

Thank you so much! It is so encouraging to hear such positive feedback. Thank you!!! ❤️

I will do that! I have a few in the front yard that I can do a video on. Most of my neighbors do not have cacti and succulents but slowly they are starting to add them. One of the great things about converting my front yard is so many neighbors stop to ask questions and advice now. I've met so many new neighbors....really great!

It got cooler and now we are back up close to 100 each day 😞 I'm hoping it cools off again soon. I'm the same...love the cool weather so I can be outside!

Thank you. I was reading today that Covid is on an uptick...this was the 5th time for me so far in the past few years. Thankfully, it gets a little easier each time. I hope your friend gets better soon.

That is awesome! They get the best flowers!

Thanks so much! I think it might be a fig. Fruit trees are not a great idea in my area though because it attracts too many animals.

Thank you!

Nope...nothing stolen but I do have security cameras and a very active neighborhood watch. I have had a lot of people stop and take photos and even more say hi and ask me for advice on plants. I usually end up giving people plants so really no need to steal. A great plus side to converting the front yard to cactus and succulents has been meeting many more of my neighbors.

I've definitely been feeling that much more in my designs lately. It is funny how it changes depending on my mood 😀

Most of my plants are in the ground but I plant them in mounds. I have several videos that show how to build the mounds. It helps with drainage. I do have quite a few pots though. Usually the expensive or my favorites end up in pots.

@deebeststamping8661 Absolutely! It depends on what you are looking for though and if you want to visit in person, and what type of budget. For example, one of my favorites is Ortegas in Watsonville for landscape plants at a low cost. They have some specimen plants but tend to stick to the more generally available. Angelvy Nursery is also a great place to visit in Morgan Hill if you want specialty plants. Poots Nursery in Ripon is a must see for specialty plants. For specific types I can't find locally I usually try etsy. Good deals can also be found on Facebook marketplace, especially for older/larger landscape plants. If the above doesn't cover what you are looking for, please let me know, and hopefully I can recommend more sources.

@@ParadiseSucculents Thanks! I do like in person but I also buy a lot online. ive gotten quite a few from Etsy and also FB marketplace. Im going to have to check out those nurseries! Im headed to Sac at the end of the month with a friend to check out some places as well. Thanks!

Thanks so much! I love them too....but my wallet...not so much 😉 🤣🤣

@@ParadiseSucculents Hahaha! Yep. The struggle is REAL. 😆

Awesome! Thank you for subscribing!

Thanks so much! The umbrellas have been THE best. I even use them during cold snaps to protect the plants. I also burn easily and they are helpful to have overhead when working on an area of the yard.

Oh no! I found another one today that was also crispy. This heat is unbelievable!! I keep hoping we are going to get a break soon.

@ParadiseSucculents me too!! We're right in the middle of converting our front lawn into succulent/native beds. I purchased a ton of plants just before the heat wave hit.

Thanks so much! It was a little gift to myself after a hard week at work!

Rooting hormone is great for plants that need an extra boost to grow roots. Most rotting hormone mixes also have anti-microbial properties as well. Cinnamon is similar in that it has anti-microbial but doesn't contain actual hormones but rather hormone like properties. I use cinnamon for most plants that root easily but when I know the cutting will likely take a long time I use rooting hormone. Some Aeoniums, for example, are more difficult to root than others. A lot of Aeonium collectors attribute this to hybrids being released before they are truly "stable" as a variety.

Welcome!! Thanks for subscribing and I hope you are staying cool in this heat!

Thank you so much!!

@@bridgettturner7787 it is really doing great protecting the softer succulents! I haven't pruned any of my spurge yet. Any advice for when I do?

@@ParadiseSucculents I plan to prune mine back in early September or late August. My garden is about 10 months old so I’m looking forward to the second year when they can tolerate Central Valley heat better

@ForeverASucculentAddict it has been an interesting plant. They also do this cool thing where they make a chiming sound when you sprinkle water on them. Really cool! I'm enjoying watching what it is turning into 😍

@@ParadiseSucculents Really? Wow! I didn’t know that. That IS pretty cool! Well keep us posted. 😁

@@ForeverASucculentAddict Thank you so much!

@@ParadiseSucculents ❤️

@@MandosRoots Good luck! They are so much fun to grow!
