    Snake plant hands down is the easiest to grow. I don't know of any other plant that likes to hide in a dark corner and be (almost) forgotten.

    • @mindtheleaves9914
      @mindtheleaves9914  3 года назад +4

      I completely agree! It's one of the best plants for almost anywhere and you don't even have to water it often. Really, what more could you ask for? 🌿💚

    • @eckehareckbert2731
      @eckehareckbert2731 3 года назад +3

      Yup, heaps of mine died too. Mainly overwatering, poor soil, succulents too have diff light and water requirements so it is much better to google for each succulent u have, and pest like mine is flying gnats indoor so i just realized i had to buy organic pesticide like neem oil for spray and soil, fly traps etc. Hope these help. Keep on trying

While succulents may be easy to care for, sometimes we give them too much care in the form of too much water or sunlight. I guess you just have to read what you can about your individual plants and it's needs and go from there. Happy planting!

    I don't have alot of good sunlight coming in my home. So I threw my succulents outside, where they get 100% direct sunlight, for about 2-3 hours. And then it gets full indirect sunlight. And they seem to really enjoy it!
    Now I do have 2 other succulents that get alot of indirect sunlight and yet they seem to enjoy that as well.

    Thank you this covered a lot. I rescued a large 15 inch round (abandoned) pot full of baby chicks (Echeveria elegans). The pot is completely dry right now and I've learned you should wait for it to dry completely, then soak and drain then wait again for the soil to dry before watering. The plastic pot is falling apart from age.
    My question is, I want to transplant the chicks there are about 50 in the pot. Should I water them first or transplant from the dry soil?
    I anxiously await your reply. Thank you for the wonderfully informative video.

    • @mindtheleaves9914
      @mindtheleaves9914  3 года назад

      Thank you! I guess a.mature leaf could fall off for a lot of different reasons. It really depends on the succulent. Some Succulents drop leaves really easily if they are handled. For the color of. The leaves, it depends what color it is. If it's reddish or purplish then it's likely just sun stress, usually nothing to worry about. 💚

    Darn, I have a jade plant that is doing very well and I'm thinking of repotting. I have this old pot that is bigger but has no drainage hole. Any advice? Is the re-pot really necessary? I only water the jade once per month and it loves this schedule.

    • @mindtheleaves9914
      @mindtheleaves9914  2 года назад

      Hi Kurt! So the great thing about Jade's is that they can be treated as bonsai plants, so you never actually need to repot into a bigger pot if you don't want to (with bonsais you just take it out of the pot, take the root ball down by removing a portion of the roots and repot it back in its soil. That way the plant is able to keep growing new fresh roots which allows for new top growth.)
      You can also keep Jade plants in pots without drainage holes, but it's risky and I don't recommend it. You could always just drill a hole in your new pot if you did want to up the pot size.
      It's shocking to me that you only water your Jade once a month , but since I have been doing this, I have realized that plants are amazing and many people treat them in very different ways and still get great results! 💚😄💚🤯

    I just bought 3 succulents recently and they are very little. Will they ever get bigger? I've never had them before or cacti either.

    So I’ve never had succulents before and I was given 3 little ones as a gift. I’m huge into potted flowers and I planted them the same not realizing they need much different care. I planted them in a metal pot with no drainage in regular soil and all three squeezed in. They were doing ok until a huge hail storm hit and pretty much cut out little chunks of the plants and even broke off tips of the leaves. They’re now permanently damaged from it but still alive but don’t looks so great from a combination of all of this. I’m wondering if I can repot all three in a bigger pot with better soil and drainage. They’re also growing babies so I’d like to cut those abs repot them as well which I don’t think will be as hard to do compare to trying to save the 3 mother plants.

      That's unfortunate. But yes, you can definitely just repot them in better draining soil in a pot with some drainage holes and I'm sure they will be fine. That's great that they are pushing out babies, you can always transplant those too! 💚

      @@mindtheleaves9914 they seem to still be doing fairly good. I did cut the larger babies off and now waiting a few days to repot those. Hopefully they will look and do better. 😊

    So when I water - do I soak all the soil then let it drain? Or just let it "sip" water? Thanks!! (trying not to kill my 1yr old succulent :)
