    Fun fact, there are succulents native or adapted to UK.
    If you go to uni of Sheffield security building, there is a patch of succulents growing outside in the dirt.
    I stole one of the leafs and have a full plant now.

    Great points. Succulents love unglazed terracotta pots. I’ve used Westland alpine soil instead of cactus & succulent soil, much grittier, but might be too heavy if you want to hang it.

    The mix plant pots have made me think if you could take it further and co-plant different plants similar to in food garden: plants that prefer their roots in different depths. Sort of taking advantage of the whole pot depth that way (pots come in rather similar dimensions and I've noticed how some of my plants grow very shallow and stringy roots while others dive deep and have proper rope like structure). The issue that I can think of would be the need to repot to a bigger one quickly if you don't prepare with big enough pot, given that now you have two plants filling the soil and less room to expand to different layers. You'd probably also want a plant that likes more moistness as the one with deeper roots since you will have to water the one living in the upper section a bit more often. Or you'd want to actually layer the different soil/filling materials to be variably pourous depending on the depth. Say more sandy soil at the bottom.

    Your PVN (purple echeveria) is growing leggier than it should because it's not getting enough light. Even the brightest windows are not comparable to outdoor light so they need to be supplemented with artificial light to grow properly indoors. And watering the potting soil before putting a succulent cutting is very risky and unadvisable, especially if you dont let that cutting callous.

    • @seanathanbeanathan

      Burying cuttings is different because they don't already have a root system and if they haven't had a chance to callus over, they're prone to rot and infection

    Hello !
    I'm from Paris and I love your videos ! And I love very much the true english accent from Great Britain :)
    I have a question for you : many plants can be grown simply in a glass of water : pothos, monsteras, calatheas, avocados... I even saw some succulents making roots in a glass of water. Knowing that, can you explain how it is possible to overwater these plants ?
    If there is only water : they grow. If you add soil : they die.
    Why ???
    Thanks a lot !

    About the rock bottom - if you put fiberglass or carbon fibre layer, the soul will not leak into the false bottom.
    If you can't afford or find the fibre, plastic layer with thick needle holes will do the trick, albeit worse.

      Surprisingly I've had success with these even though I'm good at killing many other people plants in my past. I believe they need some of the darker longer nights and colder temps and less watering like poinsettia but not as picky. I live in Hardy zone 6 so around September I put the cactus outside, out of direct sunlight (ok if a few hours in morning or evening) and forget about it. It usually starts it with a good watering then ignore it. The temps go down to 50 at night, warmer and sunny in the day. By mid October when some of my garden plants are dying from too cold, then I freak out and remember the cactus and bring it back in, water if soil is dry. I hear they grow in the crooks of other trees, like being crowded or snug in the pot and used to indirect light. I've also given them a mist of water if the leaves get wrinkly during this, usually stick it in the kitchen sink and mist all over. Check on it a few hours later, must again if needed, checking underneath. Make sure any watering has drained and back by indirect light. Flowers by Thanksgiving, last year a little after Halloween.

      To get them to bloom you have to provide them with cooler climent and longer periods of darkness. This will get then to bloom. I live in south Florida and we have one outside and it always flowers during winter when our temperature drops to the 60s and the nights are longer.
