I wish I had watched these videos when I first started buying succulents 9 months ago! I have bright LED grow lights and I have full spectrum and some plants do better in the full spectrum instead of the LED. It would be nice to know if there's a video for which plants do better in which lights. Hopefully I'll run across one
Great personality for RUclips
Loved this information.
Thank you Annie for all the great info!
So glad it was useful!
So fresh and Beautiful plants
My grandma had a beautiful peanut Cati growing in her window. It was beautiful. It cascaded down the window. I inherited what was left of the the plant. It's so easy to maintain. They're very delicate and and if touched the little growths fall off. They're so easy to propagate. Just plant the little fellow in a pot. They even bloom. My grandma said to put them in the north window and water them every two weeks with a cap from a medicine bottle, such as one from a cough syrup bottle.
Oh that's lovely! I love an inter-generational plant! And very good point, those stems do pop off pretty easily.
Greetings, is there a way I can send a pic of two plants I have. I’d like to know if I can save them, it may be too late. They have turned black, and don’t seem to be coming back from it. I think the pot may be too big😔
@@Chartia03 Yes, black often means rot at which point it's often too late for a succulent. But if you bought them from us you can absolutely email us photos at info@mountaincrestgardens.com and our customer service team can help you out!
@@Chartia03 immediately assess which parts are rotted, it might be possible to cut them in the non rotted places and restart the plant in another pot with those cuttings!
Super cute and fuzzy collection, thank you
I have a few of those. I'm hoping I can keep them thriving. 🙏 thank you for the info!
You got this!
❤ Excellent, helpful video. I love your nursery.
Aw thank you so much!
Key lime pie. So easy, low light, & fuzzy
Great tips
Great video thank-you 👍
You're so welcome!
Hi Ma'am, Sending love from India ❤️.
Thanks for a great video. Will low light succulents do well on a north side window sill?
Thanks! North-facing windows are often too little light, even for the low-light varieties I mentioned. You could keep them there temporarily, but if you want a succulent there permanently, I'd recommend Sansevieria/Dracaena.
So glad I have come across this channel. Where have you been the passed 4 years😂
Yay so happy we could help!
Do you have a program discussing grow lights or can you suggest one that works on all cactus . thank you
Here's a bunch of info on grow lights and a few recommended types: mtncr.co/growlight
I have a frizzle sizzle plant that has very long leaves some of them are straight to summer curled but Most of them do not stand up straight flowering right now and I have a new bulb coming up from the dirt that is also starting to flower
Congrats on getting a bloom! This video explains their seasonal care and how to keep your Frizzle Sizzle curly: ruclips.net/video/ec_7WADQMQs/видео.html

Hello Liz. I received a pot full of different succulents for mothers day. It looks very nice but I cannot even see the soil they are so packed in. Do I need to separate these to keep them alive? Please advise...
So sweet! That depends on if the arrangement is already draining water rapidly enough for succulents. If the container does not have a drainage hole, you will want to re-pot in a pot with a hole. You could also remove a couple plants so that you can get in to check that the soil is gritty, then replace them. Arrangements of mixed succulents can sometimes be a challenge if they include varieties with incompatible care needs, e.g. outdoor Sempervivum with indoor, frost tender types, or thirsty String of Pearls planted next to cactus. But if you think the plants have similar light and water needs, succulents are perfectly happy to be root bound in a tightly packed arrangement. When in doubt, more sun and less frequent water is often the solution.
How can you tell what type of succulent plant you have?
I love your pots. The way you have the plants displayed is lovely. BUT you don’t have saucers under them! How do you either not ruin your tops, OR how do you keep the pots dry enough not to rot the plants? My plants all look so messy 🙈
Great point! Saucers are an excellent option for this. Personally, I water the succulents in my house very very rarely. When I eventually do, I take them to the sink for a deep drenching and leave them there for at least an hour while I get distracted. By the time I remember to move them back, the pot bases are dry enough not to destroy surfaces. But you may be more intentional about watering than I am :)
Annie
Annie, terracotta stays damp for days here in uk. Saucers/trays are the only option 😪
@@moiraberniegatt9491 Ooh another idea is pot feet! They elevate your pots off of a surface AND allow airflow underneath them to aid in drying.
1) my ice plant doesn’t show its stem. It’s just very leafy & beautiful. Is this bad?
2) all mine on windowsills & thought that isn’t enough for succulents. Now I’m worried
1) All good! They grow extra compact when they're getting lots of sun.
2) Light needs really depend on the type of succulent. If any are pale, green, or stretched with large stem gaps between leaves, then they need more sunlight.
Good people to order from
Aw thank you so much!
I have about 70 tropical plants but i want to start getting succulents. Its is ok if i buy a bunch of Succulents as a beginner? I've killed about 10 in the past 3 or 4 years but i want to try again
More than okay, it's awesome! I'd recommend starting with beginner-friendly varieties like these: mountaincrestgardens.com/easy-succulents-for-beginners/. Compared to tropicals, succulent will need more sun, grittier soil, and FAR less frequent water.
Re: the square white pot with gritty soil mix. Are you saying not to use succulent/cactus mix?
Most bagged mixes at big garden centers labeled "cactus/succulent soil" are unfortunately not actually gritty and well-draining enough for succulents. A good rule of thumb for these organic-heavy mixes is to combine them with an equal volume of mineral grit, e.g. pumice, perlite, or coarse sand.
Annie,zebra plant can be kept in air conditioned bedroom in India?
It can!
Re: the Zebra on your left. I notice you have this plant in a deep container that is glazed pottery. I would be afraid the soil would not dry out fast enough after a soak (for those 2 reasons). Correct? Incorrect? Partially correct? I really hate myself for experimenting with other types of containers rather than tried-and-true terra cotta.
All valid to wonder about! We find that as long as a pot has a drainage hole and you're using a gritty, rapidly draining soil, glazed ceramic is totally great for succulents. Everything is a balance of soil, water, and environmental conditions, so worth experimenting and seeing what works for you. And you're right too big a pot can hold a large volume of water and take a while to dry out, so that might be a good place to compensate with grittier soil and/or a bigger, "thirstier" succulent.
Really good info! Fyi - I found the music very distracting.
Thank you, and duly noted!
Problem growing jelly bean plant. Everyone one I get drys why
Hard to say without knowing your growing conditions, but when you do water them, drench them deeply enough for water to run out the pot's drainage hole. Another thing that can happen is that rot can kill off their roots so they die in a manner that looks like drying, even though the original problem was frequent watering and/or poor drainage.
Help for zebra plant for not died
You're in luck, we've got a video on the zebra plant: ruclips.net/video/XzBSTdKDMGQ/видео.html
Can you just plant all your succulents or cactus in Bonsai media >
Many can! But, depending on your conditions, bonsai media can be *too* well-draining for some succulents. Things with thinner leaves and/or string-like stems tend to like a standard cactus & succulent soil mix, which has more organic matter than the bonsai gritty mix.
Watching this video i realize that achiveria chille and lime is not the right fit for my indoor situation. Tq
So glad to help! And you're not alone; very few people have the right conditions to grow healthy Echeveria indoors.
Too late, bought a bunch of escheveria!
Help please. I have grown a variety of succulents on a south part of the house.Then, I have to transfer it too north.I put some equal NPK osmocote fertilizer too.Now, all my succies start to get black stems even tho I do not water them/ soil is dry. Please suggest what I can do.I tried cutting the black stems,air dried it but it won’t thrive again. Thank you. ❤️
Oh no! It's hard to say exactly what happened without seeing the plants and their growing conditions, but once black rot has gotten into the stems, it's often too late to save them. If you choose to re-plant with new succulents, I would plant is very gritty soil, water deeply but only when the soil is dry down about 3-4 inches, and withhold fertilizer until the plants are mature with established roots. You can find more outdoor succulent care in this video: ruclips.net/video/hzje1mZrl0k/видео.html
@@annieschreck7938 Oh thank you so much for your response!🙏🏻I will keep your tips noted. I really thought putting fertilizer will help. Thank you also for sharing the link. I will keep on watching your videos as it is truly helpful and informative. 🪴♥️
I've had bad luck with my haworthias not gonna lie
Very good information but the music is annoying and unnecessary.
When you go to someone's home and their succs look so sad... 😢
Nice video but get rid of the music!!!
Thanks, I promised we've learned from our music mistakes!
interesting video!my only moan?if someones talking why play music?
found it annoying, felt like stopping the video....
You're not wrong! We've learned since then. No music on our videos now :)
Why do you have that awful music overwhelming your video vocal. It’s annoying. We want to hear you, not this hateful music.
