This is a fantastic video and very well paced so it was very easy to follow! I'm going to save it in a playlist so I can refer to it when I need to identify a plant.

Thank you so much- greatly appreciate your kind comment. And very glad the video was helpful 🙂💚

Hello, I really try to digest all of the information am getting In your channel so I won't kill my little succulents. Wanted to know if you could put up a video how can we protect them when winter comes. How to use or build a not so complicated frost cover for them. I live in Vancouver Washington by the way, where we have long winter and snow, Thank you!

[@johannalvarsson9299]

This and the succulent-communication video should be the standard to get into the subject first. If anyone asks me about succulent-basics, I will refer them to these 2 videos from now on! It took me a bit to realize that the approach that you used (plant looks like this - means this) is very uncommon, but possibly the most informative and useful way to teach how to handle plants in general!
Absolutely great work!!!

I like all your clip, give lots of information to clear any problems. I have the question to ask. How can you tell the difference between Cubic Frost and Swan Lake 😮 Newcastle AU

[@SucculentGrowingTips]

Thank you- so glad you found the info helpful ☺️ the Swan Lake has a bit of a frilly edge on the leaves and they are also thinner than Cubic Frost leaves. CF is a little more purple/lilac than SL. Hope this helps 🙂
