I am such a big fan of yours! Thank you for sharing your knowledge on how to handle succulents, those are indeed very helpful..i look forward to watching more of your videos! All the best from California!
Oh my gosh, thank you so much- that has made my day ☺Hope all your plants are doing well , I've been hearing the weather has been really brutal in California this summer. Sending lots of love 💚
Some of my succulents didn’t survive the summer heat here in Los Angeles but thanks to you and your tips, i learned so much that i’m able to keep most of them alive and thriving well. I appreciate your response, more power to your business and youtube vlogs! Pls keep them coming!
i'm so glad most of them made it💚. We're looking at similar summer conditions here in a few months time😕 when it's that hot & dry sometimes even the toughest plants can die, no matter what...
I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. Lately, they all speak to me. I just repotted a couple of plants and was considering doing a couple more. Thank you for all of the great advice 😊
Sometimes on certain plants- for instance Haworthia will eventually lose any brown roots so i pull them off. Or if i want to repot into the same pot i'll give them a bit of a haircut. If the rootball is not too tight i usually shake off the old potting mix though, so there's more space for fresh. I don't dry them out before repotting. From my personal experience they don't really need it. Hope this helps 🙂💚
Yes, you can. Technically there's nothing wrong with reusing if it looks well enough (no fungal disease or root mealybugs), but just like you said, it will need nutrients added. A good, super well rotted compost that doesn't smell anymore will be good or, you can also mix it through garden soil to improve drainage 🙂 I think i'm going to do a video on this in the next couple of weeks as it's a very good question! 🙂
Does shifting the succulent around to a brighter spot, for strong sunlight and back to its less brighter spot shock the Succulent or it's just a myth?🤔 Thank you for this beautiful video. ✌️💐
I was going to do a video on a variation of this. So this is just my personal opinion & experience- yes, it can stress them BUT there's a really good chance of the plant suffering sunburn (depending on how dark the original spot and how strong the sun is). In the shade the succulent will grow wider leaves, not as much farina and this is going to make them susceptible to burns. You could probably get away with it in the cooler months when the UV is not too strong. I would liken it to exposing your winter skin to hot summer sun 🙂
Thanks for the repotting advice 😊 you are so helpful 😊
Thank you so much 🙂🌵🌱

Thank you so much- that is so kind of you to say 💚 Happy repotting ☺
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing succulents lovely
Nice 👍
Thank you 🙂
Thanks for your videos! Do you prune roots on a root bound plant? Do you wait them to dry before repotting?

Thank you for all your tips. What is the name of the beautiful succulent at the start of your video?
Echeveria nodulosa 'Maruba Benitsukasa'. She's a beauty indeed ❤☺
May I ask what can I do w/ the old succulents soil after repotting can I add compost or more grit, scoria to reuse? Thank you for all your videos
