The Main Reasons Succulents Die & How To Prevent Them 

The fact that you bother to rehome the small slugs, catterpillars and such who damage your plants, instead of just killing them little souls, shows a kind heart. No wonder your succulents grow so beautifully, bless your kind soul!💚

i watch this a lot. there is sooo much info here and all these things helped my sicky plants. thanks!

I really love enjoying your videos. I'm new to growing succulents. There's a lot of videos out there. You're the best for information and honesty. Please don't stop. Have a question? Thinking about a garden. How do I prepare the ground?

I wish I lived near you!! The temps here in the Winter are 50-60’s in the day and 40’s at night with an occasional dips into the 20’s. I really want to put mine outside SOON! My cacti are outside all the time and are fine (prickly pears). I better wait till the temps are consistently in the 50’s!!! I am having trouble knowing when to pot up my props! They all have little roots and little babies on them but I just feel like I should let the roots grow a little more. I’ve watched so many videos that say the roots have to be several inches long and that’s just not gonna happen in my lifetime!

Love your videos. I used to work for a company that made floral and succulent arrangements. From the top down these things are never meant to last. It's a vanity piece. Most of the pots don't have drainage, the soil used is cheap and not specifically designed for the plants needs. then you cramp the plants and use some kind of top dressing to hide the soil. It's really a recipe setup for failure. I feel like your doing the right thing with the haworthia arrangements. It's a nice introduction to succulents, and a good way to teach people about plants and their needs, without the guilt felt when a plant dies. It can be done better.

Helpful video, thanks. 😊

I LOVE that you don’t kill things!!!

What is your formula for a good potting mix? Thank you!

Addition from the other end of the globe: #9: Frost. Many varieties of succulents are actually a bit tolerant to very mild frost, but they need to get familiar with it first. For most succulents frost is a sure way to leave for good. Note that it is the plant freezing itself, not the surrounding temperature itself. Frost causes the water in the cells to crystallize and completely shred its inner tissue. So, in my exp., the less water is in the plant, the higher the chances are that it will survive being frozen. That the concentration of salts and sugars is higher in the cell if there is not that much water might have to do with it as well, but thats just an educated guess. Anyway, if you have any doubts whether or not your plant can take frost. DON`T try. #10 My personal nemesis: Hail. Does not directly kill the plants 99.999999% of the time, but makes them unsellable. :/ Having dozends of little wounds can cause them to get infected with fungus later tho.

Fungus gnats destroy some of the small plants and I do not know how to get rid of them unfortunately.
