Whomever said SUCCULENTS are easy, low maintenance, grow ....are liers! They're finicky, dramatic and delicate stubborn little monsters ! They get your hopes up and betray you by rotting and dying. They're cute thought💚🌵🪴
I made the mistake for a long time of using rocks in the bottoms on my plant pots. I realized that a lot of my plants died of root rot because the rocks hold the moisture in and push it up towards the roots. I took all rocks out of the bottoms of all my plant pots and re potted them all and I never lost a plant to root rot again. I know alot of people make this mistake but I never read or see any videos talking about it. Your video is awesome by the way!
The first thing I learned was the old nurseryman's trick of crocking actually reduces drainage, that was like 10 years ago. Now I have every color except green in my succulent collection and have cactus from the Atacama Desert where rain hasn't fallen for 400 years or something like that. But I just lost a whole bunch of rare Echeverias this season thinking they wouldn't go dormant under my lights. So annoyed! I had this pure white one, you can't even see anything like it on the internet. So annoyed!
We must think the rocks create air space and the opportunity to drain. Apparently thy don’t. I’ve never tried it but see why we would consider it. Seems logical. Kinda like getting under an overpass during a tornado?
I used to put pebbles in the bottom of plant pots, too. I also removed the pebbels from all of them and their health improved a lot!
NOOO don’t tell me this!! I just repotted all my plants and put rocks in the bottom of my succulents 😬
This was literally the most helpful video I have seen in my 6-8months of searching for tips! Alllll the useful tips in ONE video! Thank you so much!
I'm going to attempt to plant succulents in pots indoors. This was THE BEST video on RUclips! Thank you~
I love succulents-- I just need more light (grow lights) for my echeverias so I can keep them in tip top form! :)
In my experience with succulents it’s better to underwater them than over water them because you can save a succulent if it’s dryed out but if it has rot root it’s almost impossible to save it and also if you get rot on the main stem of the plant it’s even harder.
I love succulents. I have lots of cacti and some succulents. The succulents are harder to raise than cacti but I love haworthia. They are so beautiful, and also sedum.
Thanks for sharing!
Very informative thank you
I’ve stayed away from succulents most of my plant journey but I find myself starting to buy some lately. So a very timely video
My main problem in the past was planting in pots that were too deep and I now use a Moisture[ meter because I tend to be too heavy handed on the water. Thanks for the tips,
This was super helpful! ☺️ thank you! Can’t wait to see some of your other videos!
Glad it was helpful!
thanks for the info and the video🥰🥰
You’re welcome! 🪴
I was killing mine until I saw this!!
Your advice on giving them plenty of water when it is time to water finally saved my plants!!! I was always scared to give them a lot at ANY time. Well they do get to a point where they are very thirsty & because of you they r happy 😅
Thank you Ashley. I have always enjoyed succulents and cacti because they seemed to be hard to kill. But your advice has let me know that I'm assuming too much about watering and sunlight with these. I moved from a very low sunlight place to a very sunny apartment and put all my plants on the window sill beliving they all craved tons of sunlight. Within a week or two my jade plant's leaves looked purplish. I never saw that before so I thought oh that's a good sign. Then I learned this was not normal and that the purplish color meant too much sun was burning the leaves! Other perplexing experiences with my plants not flowering, not growing or looking wrinkly, or falling out of the pot because the roots didn't reach down into the soil have given me numerous lessons in the proper care of succulents. What you say about paying closer attention to plants' changes and responses to conditions that under my control..... that's a bonfide revelation.
The best advice in general about keeping and caring for plants is what you say about paying attention. After moving to this much sunnier apartment I began adding more succulents to my collection. As my collection has grown I get more involved with noticing when they are in a resting period vs a growth period. And just knowing what they need or dont' need from me when they are growing or resting....it was quite a wakeup experience. As you said there's a lot you can't just leave on autopilot. The takeaway for me is that plants have their own lifecycles and conditions they need so if I insist on them converting themselves to the conditions I want them to follow, they could be suffering, and not do so well.
1st time viewer. I’ve collect a hundred or so Jades and now cuttings this winter. They have done well under 2 big grow lights. Excited to see them thrive in the warm/ sunnier weather. Btw, you have a pretty eyes. Your face lights up when you smile. Keep it up and I’ll keep watching. ❤
Wow!! Thank you for sharing a really great video wish you healthy and happy always alongside your loved ones 👍👌
Thank you!
Thanks ashley for taking the time to share and explain all this in this video. Cactus and succulents are my specialty here in Barbados are they are grown mostly outdoors as we have Lots of sun but they are some delicate ones that have to move around when we have the rainy season.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks, Ashley, for the great tips!! Just really getting into succulents and some cacti !! Living in high and dry Colorado! so it seems I have to water them more than I thought I would. They are in south and east facing windows and most are in 2" or 4" pots.
Wonderful!
If you want to grow succulents I suggest that you buy some clay pots. Many people use terracotta clay but any clay that is not glazed will do. Some people use cement which is fine but I prefer clay. Clay will help draw the water away from the roots so that they will not rot.
Most commercial succulent and cacti soils that I have tried do not have enough substrate in them. I usually add pumice to a commercial succulent soil until I get the consistency that I feel comfortable with. I also add some worm castings.
I have not tried the Repotme succulent soil yet but I did buy a bag of one of their orchid soil mixtures (I am new to orchids) and my orchid is loving it and doing very well.
I have bought quite a few grow lights from Amazon and have found that every type of plant that I have added a grow light to is doing very well. All my grow lights are LEDs so they have not effected our electric bill.
Thanks for the tips!
You are amazing!
Thank you 💚😊
Aw thank you!
Hi Ashley, Excellent video! So much information and good tips! Many thanks for these reminders! I don’t own a ton of succulents but I love all the ones I have! Take care! 👌🪴🥰
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great video, I enjoy all of your videos. Thank you so much😊
You are so welcome!
It's very beautiful. I also grow succulents on my narrow balcony in Japan.
I’ve just repotted a few I got a couple weeks ago & keeping my fingers crossed they make it. I won’t water them for a few days to give roots time to adjust
What type of fertilizer shall i use? Loved ua videos...
These are the main plants that have stayed alive after i got my 2 children cause i was away from home for almost 3 months. I have noticed very little casualties. But has lost many other houseplants. For me succulants are not so difficulte to care for. Thanks, ashley, for all tips. ❤
I just inherited a succulent that was my great grandmother’s, my aunt gave it to me. Not sure how old it is, this video was helpful. Thanks. Jon
That is awesome!
Great tips Ashley, a lot of them are common sense but we sometimes lose sight of these things😉. I get mealy bugs on my Jade, both curly and trailing jade ugh, so frustrating. But I love all cacti and succulents so we need to make the effort and not give up. My Achilles heel is aeoniums, both crested and regular, not sure if they fall into this category but 😩😂
So true!
Succulents are the only type of plant I grow. They're forgiving and low maintenance. I've done incredible things with mine. For my last project I planted them in a frame. Once they took root, I hung the frame, and I couldn't believe how it enriched my garden.
Wonderful video🌹🌹❤❤
Thank you 🤗
By the way, succulents and cacti can have incredible root systems. I have seen some a foot long or more. I had a gumbi cactus before that had such long roots that it had to have a big pot.
Hi Ashley thank u for ur tips I love plants and 🌵 cactus and succulent 👍
So nice of you!
Thanks for the refresher tips on succulents! Great explanations, it's always good to listen to care tips, as I tend to treat plants generically sometimes, instead of specifically. Thanks. Is there a good pesticide you can recommend for scale on succulents?
I want to start getting into succulent and cactus but right now I'm into Hoyas so maybe I will get them later. Thanks Ashley for sharing that very good information hope you are doing well ❤😊
You are so welcome!
Hi Ashley, perfect timing with this video. I have not grown a succulent plant in over 10 years for all of the incorrect reason that you are highlighting. About a week ago I purchased a beautiful Jade plant in a 4-inch pot and she has some sun stressing and she is still alive!! Going to utilize these tips and thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Ashley. I bought some succulents in those small black plastic pots and had to soak in a bowl of water to get the soil to retain the moisture. No wonder the plants were on clearance! They probably never got water and the soil became hydrophobic. My south facing window is where I usually keep them but I have to move them back a little during summer.
💚💚
❤❤❤❤thank you!!!
NOPE, I’m the complete opposite! During Covid my go to plant was succulents ONLY! I found that they thrived better and from experience I knew I didn’t have a green thumb. So, I stayed away from houseplants for 20 years! 😅 All my succulents thrived so well, till this past winter when we had a cold snap and I just left them out and they pretty much all died. I thought they were going to make it since I left them out the previous winter, but I guess the cold just lasted a little too long and it was colder. I’m starting to rebuild my collection again. Only difference is this time I’ve managed to add bout 100 house plants to my collection since 2021! 😄
I’ve learned a lot about plants from watching you & Nick. 🥰
Not a succulent but I just found a obesa at home Depot 😍 for about $4 🙌 so excited and I found a confetti syngonium
That is awesome!
Four weeks of high humidity in SoCal., are killing my beautiful succulents, waiting for Fall to come soon!😧
Oh no!
Ok..❤
When watering succulents should the water be room temperature, such as water that's been allowed to acclimate, or is fresh-from-the-tap just fine? Thank you so much for the very informative video. By the way, being new to succulent motherhood (I haven't had one since I killed my crassula as a young teen) I never thought to fertilize. I'm shaking my head.
Watch out for powdery mildew!! I just was at Home Depot today and there was a whole succulent section that was just absolutely covered with it. My mom got it on her Flap Jack plant this past year and had to throw it out. Kalanchoes are so very susceptible to it.
A few of my succulents have powdery mildew☹️. The problem i think is that there right by the plants i mist and like humidity, like my ferns
In my experience strings of are especially susceptible to pests…aphids in particular. I have had success treating with systemic granules and regular use of insecticidal soap to keep them away.
Thanks for sharing!
I try and try! My husband loves a weird little succulent, and I just can’t seem to keep them alive. I think we either have too much light or not enough, in the places I can put them, and I’d rather give the nicely lit space to Hoya. 😂 we have a handful of bizarre looking cacti but I try to avoid getting more.
💚💚
Killed my first few succulents, really my first ever plants, because I didn’t realise the pots had no drainage. I still have 3 from then that are alive! Two have been producing more and more blooms every year! The pots are definitely too big for them so I’ll be looking for some smaller ones for sure, still feel bad for the ones that died (especially because now I probably could have saved or propagated them) but you live and you learn lol
It’s all part of the journey 💚
How often should I repot my succulents? I've had a few for over a year and in the same pot, and I want to repot them into terracotta pots. Could I repot now or should I wait until it warms up more. I live in West Texas FYI.
Succulents have a hard time here in Hawai’i. It’s likely the humid climate, so I’ve learned to stay away from certain succulents .
I’m rather new to succulents and I’m finding my biggest challenge is with the humidity developing fungus in the leaves! Makes me want to give up!
do you put rocks in the bottom of the clay pots? thx
I've had the opposite issue with succulents. They live but they thrive and totally spread! They've overgrown ALL the planters I have them in! They're beautiful but I think I need to cut some of them back!
Wonderful!
I have my succulents outside in a raised bed…do I replant them and bring them in since it’s getting cold? If so, garage or in the house? TIA
I killed them constantly until we bought our house with a sunroom. Now they are happy and thriving!
Amazing!
Do you have a remedy for varoa insects ?? I cannot say how I imported them in the house, they are on bees normally...
Hi I am looking for cactus the one that is purple orange red pink do you know which place I can buy them
Thank you
Sounds heartless but my method of pest control for all of my houseplants has been: As soon as you notice any major or concerning signs of infestation, take action ASAP. Take cuttings of the plant if possible to propagate a new one and throw the affected plant away (keeping the pot of course, cleaning it/disinfecting it well).
Here in Canada: Pest control products are expensive but new soil is always cheap!
I know that you can't necessarily propagate every type of plant but I go out of my way to only own easily-propagated varieties of plants just for this purpose of extreme but cheap pest control.
I have soooo many succulents! And I propagate MANY!!!
💚💚
@@LifewithAshleyAnita I wish we could share photos on here!
I have been trying to raise succulents and doing my best but i dont feel i know what i am doing. I use the right soil and pots and tey really hard and bought moisture probes and it always says dry. I have them inside with grow lights. I dont know. I tried to propagate from what i had to take iff bit i worry about pest treatment cause i read not to touch them or wipe off the powder. I am worried i will kill them all. I live in a hot humid area but in winter it is too cold most of the time for them outside and we get tons of rain. So, house plants. I dont know if the grow lights help them. If they all die, i will give up. I tried
I love cacti and succulents! They are the main type of plants that I grow. They are super easy. You just need to do proper research, and apply it to your own environment.
Very true!
You are so lovly❤❤❤
ماشالله تبارك الله احسن الخالقين ❤❤❤
My mistake is where I live. I can't provide the environment succulents need (non-cactus succulents). They need DRY, COOL & 4 to 6 hours of bright sun. Where I live the temps get to over 108 degrees. I have no place to put them where they get what they need. The humidity fluctuates wildly from 13% to 100% all in one week. There is no way for them to acclimate to that kind of torture. Another problem is they get mealy bugs and all of the treatments removes farina. It happens so often they have no way to recover their farina from one attack to the other. It's alright if you get a mealy bugs once every 5 years. Not me. I get them all summer long. By the end of the summer,, they have no farina left. Then they get mold even tho I water them the correct way.
For me I don’t have the light that they need and not much space near my grow lights for them. They are cool but not as much of a statement piece as non-succulent leafy plants so for my set-up I choose no succulents
Makes perfect sense!
It's funny but my succulents and some cacti grow great outside in humid Florida.
Definitely! They love it there!
I don't have any problems with them or catus either also have orchids and alocasias
Nice!!
Love❤
Can you plant succulents outdoors?
I just brought two succulents and it’s my first time caring for garden brought plants n I’m so nervous
You’ve got this!
I only collect succulents and I have many. If you love succulents you will put in the works and research and watch videos.
💚💚
I have a succulent that I just am ready to give up on because it has rot and a centipede came out of the pot 😟
Oh no!
Some of those small bags of soil cost more than the giant ones at home depot, and arent much better dont waste your money everyone. Buy a big bag of soil and add some perlite 👍 good to go
Gm edagdwg God bless you thanks for sharing a forever fan Linda j. Peace
See if you can answer. I have had plants for 30 years. Today I just watch them die. I get cuttings that won,t root in water or root in soil. WHY.? I have had plants that were strong and then just got softer and died. I can,t even get a pothos to root in water.
I'll bet you live in southern California where it's dry and sunny.
Cud u do a video on propping them?? I haven't had luck once an try do things ppl tell me. Maybe if I had more specific instructions. Lol
When propagating, you need to let them callus. I have a much better success rate when I do. Also this is the one time you don’t want the soil to dry out completely. I use 2” pots so the soil doesn’t stay too wet, but you also have to make sure it doesn’t dry out completely. I’ve propagated many succulents and cacti this way.
@darthtraya8305 ya. I let callous last time. If I water, get mushy an die. I dnt even water much. If I dnt water, shrivel up an die. Succulents Def more tricky
You trimmed off the flower spike on what you called a leggy succulent.
This is funny, someone sent me a Crassula rupestris (kebab bush - looked it up) yesterday and I was trying to figure out what to do with it. I'm not really a succulent person but this is really cute. First instinct, I'm going to kill it (poor thing) then I seen your video so it's worth a very good try not to. Crossing fingers and toes haha
Hope it helps!

IME In zone 6/7 we can put our succulents in our brightest windows and they still etiolate 🤦🏻♀️
They are so easy too grow ….
❤️
I'm new to growing succulents so I'm sure I'll be over here whining from time to time....lol
😂
🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵
Succulents are the easiest to grow the trick is ignore them they don't need alot of water.i do all my Succulents every 2 weeks all sun in my window.
I HAVE SO MANY.
I NEED TO STOP LOL..STOP WATERING SO MUCH!!!!!!
Succulents! So pretty, until I bring them home! 😢 I stay away.
💚💚
Cactus ARE succulents.
Oh my gosh, I CANNOT keep succulents alive.
That’s what I’m hearing!
succulents are the only plants i CAN keep alive.
💚💚
Speaking of being "leggy"... NICE legs @ 9.22
It’s marketing tricks so this plants should die soon and customers should by them again…..sorry for saying that but it is a true…..
These are the main plants that have stayed alive after i got my 2 children cause i was away from home for almost 3 months. I have noticed very little casualties. But has lost many other houseplants. For me succulants are not so difficulte to care for. Thanks, ashley, for all tips. ❤
