Secret Succulent Care Tips From a Master Succulent Grower
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 май 2019
- Ever wondered where the plants in your succulent garden ACTUALLY come from? Better yet, what about learning how to grow succulents from a master succulent plant grower who produces millions per year?
In today's video, I travel up to the Plants by Post nursery in San Jose, CA to talk with Dylan Toms, a botanist and master succulent cultivator. You'll learn how to water succulents, how to propagate succulents, and the many intricacies of their care that you WON'T find online.

What succulent topics should I make a video on next?
The difference between over watering, underwatering, and nutrient deficiency( signs to fertilise)
HEWfunkingKNEWit yes! I second this. These are all great topics I wonder about myself
propagation by individual leaves
The care for succulents that are considered hardy vs. non hardy succulents
Rose of the dessert care.
You know he's a pro because he has a holster on his belt for the clippers.
Locked and loaded
Yo i saw that . Where do I get one ?! Haha
Actually we do that to avoid putting them in our back pocket
If you don’t have a pair of nippers on your belt then you are just playing around.
It’s well worth big bucks to have a reliable, sharp pair on your belt at all times.
I had to save up to buy a nice pair, the ones I carried for years are just too heavy!
😂
He is beyond our level, I never hold or touch my succulents like that lmao
ha ha it made me cringe a little :)
Straight up manhandling them, given no damn
I'm surprised every plant he touches isn't dead from how carelessly he touches them
Look at them wrong and they start wilting
Comment il jette les pauvres plantes... Ça se voit que c'est juste commercial...
Did anyone else get super frustrated by the cameraman not doing close ups of the succulents? I mean...you had one thing to film!
Yeah instead of showing the guys, no offense, zoom in on each of the 100s of damn plant babies there! Guys are handsome but let's face it, we're here for the succs! 😉😎🤣
I was a bit frustrated & dizzy from the rapid movement and super fast panning around the tables.
I was asking myself if he wasn’t going to show it or not.
Right!!! You had One Job! One!🤦♀️😤😆😢
@heatherkoolaid yup, I feel like I got to watch a couple of guys talk. I didn't even get to see the plants that were supposed to be beautiful. Waist of my time.
I’d love to see more episodes at this nursery and with this grower. Maybe a start to finish process? This is so fascinating!!
I'll be up there again soon!
Agreed, this was fascinating.
I agree more information on this topic would be great
I would love that also. I love learning all there is to know about plants. Especially house plants
@@passionfruiter3184 the farmer was trying to give us much more information than what was being able to be expressed. He was constantly being derailed in the middle of saying something
Omg the way he man-handles everything 😂 stressing me out beyond belief 😂
yeah man same here. dude doesn’t love them, they’re just a product to him
Yeah I thought he was a bit rough with them too!
Y’all need to chill, the cuttings are fine.
Don’t like him. Not good vibes. Arrogant.
It normally takes at least 30 minutes to replant a succulent, and he is handling it like stones 🙄
Wow, he really knows his stuff! So so very impressed! And he just picks them up and throws them like he know what he’s doing, which he totally does. So impressed! And what a huge scale he is dealing with, awesomeness. Thanks for going way beyond and taking us on this ride, blessings
Propagation tips and tricks would be cool to see
Will add to the list!

I love how this nice nursery guy loves what he is doing
i didn’t feel that love you speak of
The way he was just roughly picking them up and throwing them back in the tray like a any old rock , while the guest gently picks one up , admires it, gently lays it back down. Epic gardening was the true suc God right there.
That man is everything I aspire to be in my life. He is incredibly knowledgeable!!! I wish I had even a 1/4 of that knowledge. Oh my plants would love me so much more ha ha ha
WOW... This gentleman knows his succulents! Would love to see more videos of him discussing in details the do's & don't of caring for succulents (especially indoors). 🌵🌵👍👍
As a hobbyist this was super fascinating being able to see how it goes on the production side!
I have to say, that tour of the succulent greenhouse was absolutely amazing. Dylan definitely knows his product. I would certainly support this green house--if it wasn't 1,030 miles from where I live.
Thanks for setting that up, Kevin.
Darryl
The stress level is real watching this grower handle these succulents so roughly.... But keep posting more succulent videos please !
Wow... This nursery is succulent heaven ! Thanks a lot for this video ❤️
Thanks for watching!
one thing i noticed is that my succulents love a mix of compost or potting soil and medium to small gravel bits, with coarser gravel in the bottom, my burrows tail is doing awesome in that mix and i have a baby rubber tree in the same mix and theyre both really happy
This was very informative. I’ve had succulents for several years and this was a great refresher. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
Im crazy with Succulents. I just love them , collecting succulents now since 2018
Show us your collection
Thank you for posting this!! I’m a botany student and I love watching this stuff! 🌱💛 love your videos
Thank you my friend!
I’m a succa for these vids! Yall put the worthy in Haworthia! 🌵
When I die scatter my ashes here. Lol
whoaa that is the biggest succulent nursery I ever seen, even bigger the succulent farmer here. thank u for sharing n tips.
A quality operation. It’s kind of crazy how popular succulents have become. It’s also about time, considering how relatively easy they are to grow.
Couldn't agree more with you
I love succulents, but do NOT find them easy. I've lived in Massachusetts and in the high desert of New Mexico, and I have never been able to get the light right for a lot of them.
Please do some more suc care videos. I love them! Love for this guy to teach us more too! Thx!!!!
Extremely informative! Thank you...Thank You...THANK YOU❣I will be watching repeatedly!
Truly a master. Thanks for having this great guest. I could feel the passion and relate.
Masters show respect. He throws the plants every time he takes one. Succulents are like fruits, when hit, they get damage.
I noticed that. He is so rough.
I think this channel is shaping up to be one of the best. However I live in the subtropics. I would love some information on how to grow succulents in different climates.
Great point, I'll add to list. And thanks for the kind words!
Such a great video!! Thanks for going behind the scenes for all of us. I could spend hours there! 🌱❤️
Me too, I could live there!
First time seeing one of your videos; super informative, well spoken and kept short and sweet. Keep it up!
Just love my country's lovely flora!!
This is a really awesome video! Its so beneficial to be learning from a real pro even for a short while/short interview! Amazing!
The succulent God is so rough with his children. They must get so bruised.
They can handle it 😉
That’s what I was thinking as well, every time he grabbed a container full of succulent cuttings. A succulent grower (especially a plant expert) already knows how to handle his or her babies properly. Primarily, these plants have very plumpy and juicy leaves and stem that are prone to bruising or even breakage. Once bruised, they will bear it their whole life.
@@romegipulan4644 They actually outgrow those damaged leaves in a couple of seasons, so no worries there...
@@KaleiPlants Yes, they do. But it really takes time, since they are all slow grower plants.
soup42 Well, if you compare their growth to regular houseplants, then their slow growers.
Great vid man. Straight to the point!
Succulent so easy to care for and so many in variety.....enjoy this video thanks for the visit and the knowledge.
Glad you enjoyed!
Was anyone else cringing the way he roughly held those plants? I am so careful with mine. I just couldn't get past the roughness.
Yeah, especially when he tossed them back into the pile XD
@@crashharmonyroberson5076 toss? I call it slamdunked the plants :D
thanks. That bothers me too. this and the fact he said " south african sahara" :D
@@Spiritoffire3003 oml...woo and he called the plants MATERIAL ?
Thank you for sharing this video.I enjoyed watching❤️❤️❤️
Very informative, thanks for sharing!
This is such a great video! Thank you so much, I will use the tips he gave. ☺️
VERY INFORMATIVE! Thanks for this video😁😊🌵😁
“Do you know the way to San Jose...” nice to know this is in my area! I’m in Morgan Hill, south of SJ 😊
Do u know where is this nursery at?
I’d like to know where this place is too.
I learned so much from this dude!
OMYGOD I would LOVE to work with all of these babies, Heaven!!💖🌵🌵🌵
Indeed!
that greenhouse is amazing. would love to visit that nursery
This was such a cool video! I loved it! Thank you so taking us behind the scenes! I'd be curious to know what kind of succulents he has in his own personal home??
To be honest, I'm pretty sure this nursery is his home 😂😉
Thanks for watching! Kevin is right I spend A LOT of time in these houses, they make my G-house at home look like a closet! I do have a “wife troubling” amount of plants though. My favorites are Haworthia and Euphorbia. Keep planting!
What an awesome greenhouse! Love it.
THANK YOU!! I learned so much helpful information.
Also, I really enjoy your videos and I'm glad I subscribed!
I'm in love. ❤️
That succulent master is awesome.
Here I am thinking I have a great choice of succulents! This is succulent heaven to me 🌱💕💕🌱
Dude - Next time I'm in SJ- I'm going to visit! This joint looks awesome! Great vid!!!
Thanks!
Thanks for this video. I am fairly new to gardening. Started with cactus and succulents. It's been a fun learning experience so far.
It's a great place to start!
Plants are fascinating, truly living creatures with different nutrient needs. It's cool to learn where they come from and how to take care of them. I mean what would we do without our succulents?!
Very knowledgeable grower. Amazing video, plan to buy from him.
Just watched this, hope you got some samples! My pockets would be full!
I'm a succulent collector and my favorite are echeverias. Fascinating specimens indeed.
New to the channel. Thanks for sharing the awesome video . The interviewee was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does understandably why. I live in NC I started my interest for succulents, cactus, air plants & orchids working in the lowes garden center for years. Amazing plants what's not to love.
Thanks for hanging out and for the kind words!
this was so informative!
This was a great video full of wonderful, engaging content, but all I can think about is how much I love that t-shirt in the beginning of the video.
Love your channel! ⭐️
WOW amazing succulent nursery 👏🏼 you said in San Jose, where? Thats my city! 😊
I know! i need to find this place. Let me know if you find out.
Great Video, I’m new to succulents I’m not used to seeing compost dry so worry that they are not getting enough water and have lost a few due to overwatering. I’m fascinated with you knowing all the names I’m still learning. Thankyou Sue UK
Mix some extra grit and bark in with that compost and you'll be all set. As I'm in the desert, with under 10% humidity, I can do straight compost, but on your rainy island, lightening up the mix will help prevent over watering.
This is amazing . Thank you for sharing
my dad's helping me build a greenhouse this year and i can't waaaaaiiiiiiit to grow some of these 💚
This was very helpful, because i have only begun to add a few succulents recently. I have a senecio that just finished blooming prolifically
Just wow, thanks for the tips
Good info! Thanks😊
Wow, great succulent nursery and helpful tips 👍🏻Many thanks 👏
Hi, like to show you what I have if you got a sec, hit my icon, tks :)

Thank you for watching
Wow, San Jose, CA!!!!
Great video so many are in the family 'I WANT EM' 😂 love to see a part 2 to this ( people are often surprised when you let them know of the many Winter-hardy varieties of succulents) Please more videos with growers or specialist or Botanical gardens or styles of gardens and gardening...... basically more plants😂😂Orchids cal orchids Los Osos Ca, Nuccios Camellias and Azaleas Altadena Calif great people & growers or Natives Sons for California natives or fort bragg's Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens so I have something to watch with my tea THANK YOU ;)
How about a lesson on recognizing Succulent disease, and what to do about it. Thank you from snowy Vancouver, Canada!
Drooling over here 🤤 I would have maybe, come home with no money and a car full of succis
If I didn't fly there, same thing for me hahaha
Dylan Toms...where can we hear more from him. Diggin his voice and his botany😁
South Africa represent 🇿🇦
I'd do anything to do this as a way of life. Damn I want to be in that glass house for life
Thank you so much for this!! Super helpful :)

Excellent. I have some suculent plants in my garden. They are awesome. One of them has flowers!

Great video. Thanks
New to your channel- big fan. Thanks for sharing your passion and expertise!
Thanks for subscribing :)
Epic Gardening Of course!
Same! Agree
These plants are fascinating I've collected over 50 types some of which are 30+ years old
WOW! Amazing video! Thought I had a pretty good idea of how to grow succulents until I saw this and realized that I`m really clueless! lol Thank you!
No prob Jenny!
Thank you Kevin
Can you make more videos of your nursery I really enjoyed it many thanks
Awesome video! I actually grew up with Dylan. Sharp dude for sure.
Wow no way?! Small world
Who dis?!? We grew up together!?
My dream collection.
Can't believe this has so few views, you got a sub from me for sure thanks!
Thanks my friend!
Wowowowowoowow.. Super Amazed These lot of succulents
I find that succulents have quite a bit of personality, some are super sensitive and touchy, some are stubborn ,some are flamboyant, some of them have many demands or even demand attention , they tell you everything you must do and if you don't do it right, they for sure show u
Sooo helpful!!!
Omg, i am 5 seconds into this video and I LOVE your shirt!!! I want one!!!! 🤩
Succulents are my newest passion. ❤
O must say, I am not an original lover of succulents, even though I'm planning to homestead in west West Texas High Desert, lol! But, between you and Summer Rayne I have decided to give it a go, I have found a few that I like......I just need to read up more on identifying and care a little more. Great video, thank you!
Love it! So glad that summer and I have helped in some small way
Amazing Video.
love this plant type
I Loved the Video!!! I often wonder where all of the succulents are grown!
Would love to see a video on how to combine succulents in containers that look really awesome together.
Will add to the list!
