Gorgeous Succulent Garden Installation Follow Up in Carlsbad, Ca 

its bedtime but theres a new DFS video to watch! 😍

The tip about not watering in the heat was super helpful. Pretty sure that’s what happened with mine when they got hit with the morning rain and then blasted by the 100 degree temps a few hours later. 😖 learned the hard way on that one.

I really appreciate the no watering tip me me living out in the inland Empire I really appreciate hearing that again today.

wow, look at that! absolutely amazing and gorgeous! put this one in the winner's circle of Team DFS for sure! love it! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Laura, Something you and your followers should be aware of regarding systemic pesticides is that the pesticide remains in the plant for it's life. Therefore, any plants that flower should have stems removed before they bloom, so that pollinators do not consume the insecticide and perish. Just trying to save the bees!

Wow, I haven't heard you say "resist the urge to water" in a while. Lol.... I remember you saying that when I first started getting into cactus and succulents, because I was an over-waterer and would always hear you in my mind saying "resist the urge to water" 😆 and I would hold off. Lol

I’m in Tucson and have been a follower for 5 or 6 months. I’m hooked. This is such a helpful video. I love when you point and say the plant names. I’ll watch this multiple times. Greg is so good and smooth with the camera using wide shots and close shots. I like to watch your older videos too and am learning so much. I’ve had some of my succulents survive and even thrive here over the summer. I knew there would be losses but that’s how I learn. I didn’t even try the tender plants you grow there near San Diego except a few in a semi shady spots in pots. I’m on my third succulent “mounded” garden now. I probably shouldn’t plant this time of year but the nursery plants are accumulating on the back patio. Thank you all.

Looks amazing!! Like I always say, Palms and Succulents are the perfect combo!!

Thanks for the tip about not watering during high heat. I'm so tempted when I look at the poor babies.

I live in Sacramento and starting this Thursday we will be in triple digits. 104 up to 111 for a full week. I have not watered for about 10 days so I was going to water everything this evening and cover tomorrow. However, I just heard you say DON'T water. Yikes, I thought I was supposed to water them. Good thing I watched this video when I did. Thanks for saving my babies Laura

Beautiful colors, agree with the homeowner on the chunkier taupe color stones.

Cuando regresas a anteriores proyectos, es la evidencia de tu excelente trabajo. felicitaciones 😀👍🏽

Very gorgeous! this succulent in your garden looks amazing!

I think I know the Aeonium answer. Probably the plant got sunburn from before it acclimated, and now that has the new leaves, it can handle all the sunlight from the day and won't get sunburn again.

Getting folks to not water when it is hot is so difficult. We are in Zone 9B and are getting ready for 5 days over 100. I have posted in our garden club about not watering when it’s so hot. It’s amazing how much flack I get. One member is running her drip 15 minutes morning and evening every day. 🤯😱😢 This garden is stunning.

Not bad for six months good job

The rock work is amazing. It looks like it had been there for years

This garden looks amazing. Could the homeowner maybe swap locations with the etiolated longfingers and the stressed-out crassula & cotyledon? Also, gotta say, Greg is the best cameraman!

Stay hydrated!!! 💚💚💚

Stunning and motivating. A+

Beautiful Garden!

One of my favorite yards

So glad for that reminder, my instinct is to water! I suppress my urge by misting the tillandsias with a spray bottle, lol.

Thank you for that advice

Such a good tip to reinforce. Getting ready for another hot Labor Day 🥵

I would love to see the cali-gold. It would’ve brightened up the pathway a little bit 😄

It’s very interesting to see how things look 6 months on.

A real dilemma for us. Here in Long Beach we are going to be on all outside watering restriction from Sept 6th to the 20th. I was going to water everything throughly just before the restriction….but it’s also going up into the upper 90s & even 100 next week. What to do???

Could the Farina powder be fading as the aeonium gets older and that's why it burns ?

Looks amazing and I also love what you did and your new home. I have a question about your use of trees-I am wondering about MANZANITA TREE. Detritus minimal since it’s not deciduous, and white flowers in late winter and berries in spring and summer. Could it work in a succulent garden?

The new growth is after the plant gets burned then acclimates so therefore the new growth is going to be acclimated to that amount of sun. Also..older leaves r weaker.

♥️♥️🧿♥️

The sunburn I would imagine is due to the length of exposure to the sun, old growth has longer exposure? Not sure, just guessing!

How do you treat your aloes I have 23 different ones and would hate for them to get mites

I'm thinking of converting my front yard, similar in size, to a succulent rock garden. What's the estimate cost for doing that?

I have noticed that succulents with grey foliage are prone to scale as is the cancer mite on the small aloe.

Muito 👍

Dang it, I just watered a bunch. Hopefully, they are getting enough shade.

Its overcrowded.

Hey Laura, what about a few palms in your new back yard to go with the sea scape ? 🫠🌴
