    For any newbies watching this: Unless your plant has rot you do NOT need to prune it what so ever. Succulents will always grow how they are supposed to, and only need you to step in if they are dying or diseased. You can prune them and cut them up, but you never need to. Just know that.

    This video has such mixed reviews! If Laura has taught me anything it is to admire my plants but not be attached to them- hence why it’s so easy for her to clip and prune away! My heart was hurting but I think it’s so logical for her, she just trusts that good gardening care will eventually bring those plants back to flourish! Thanks Laura for these informational videos! Love love!

    Ma’am!!! You just helped me make my garden look so happy after 4 years of sad, sloppy succulent messes all over. Thank you thank you!!! I wish I’d known it was this easy all along, I would get overwhelmed just thinking about where to even start. But it’s been 3 months since I followed your advice here and the difference is like night and day. So glad I stumbled on this channel. Much love from New Mexico :)

    I like big trunks and I cannot lie, you other gardeners can't deny, cause when a ovata walks in with an Itty bitty leaf and a round thing in your face you get green thumb.....

    I love your gentle way of handling the plants. I love your recycling and saving as many as you can. Great video! Thank you.

    I followed your videos and cleaned up my succulent yard. It looks amazing and clean. They were getting leggy and looked like a big hot mess and neglected. Once I had of them cleaned and trimmed all stems and replanted I got so many compliments by the neighbors. Your channel inspired me to up keep my succulent garden and keeping them nice and neat because sometime too much of something doesn’t always look attractive. Thanks Laura!!

    Congrats on all beautiful succulents! I love them all and still learning how to take care them. Thank you for the nice video!

    Thank you for getting to the business of trimming and propagating right away, many videos on this matter are all face time and blah blah and no action. Excellent advice.

    Wow, I am impressed! Learned a lot from your video also. I had to move into town from the country for my health and these succulents have become my new hobby. I love all the different colors! I did not realize these plants could just be trimmed, stuck in the ground, watered and would continue to grow. Guess I have a lot to learn!

    Hi Laura: I binge watch your videos and I am always in awe of how beautiful those succulents are and I wish I could have a garden like that. But, I live in Maryland so I am fairly new to growing succulents been just a few months. But, I long to get some of those beautiful plants to add to my collection. Enjoy watching you. LOL

    Laura, watching this “later,” I love your no nonsense approach. “It bloomed, save the leaves, toss the rest.” YES! 😉👍🏼

    Thanks! I watch your show all the time. Love what you do. I miss so many things about CA, I am doing my best in Utah to xeroscape, Not really sure what I'm doing but so far it is looking pretty good. I am sticking to mostly sedum and thyme. I root softer succulents for the summer. I hope I get cuttings before they freeze this year. It's hard because everything is looking it's best when I am supposed to do that. I will remember this video for inspiration. Anyway, keep up the great work! your fan, Kimba

    I found that very interesting. I have lots of scruffy succulents on my balcony. I will tidy them up and taking the comments under consideration keep the stems for more babies.
