Hi! Thank you for taking the time to share your valuable information with all! I just bought a beautiful Echeveria (Lipstick I believe it is) and unfortunately a dear one knocked it down and wounded several leaves. I have not found how to treat broken leaves anywhere. I did read about sprinkling Sulphur to the cuttings to seal them and prevent fungi before propagating and I wonder if I need to sprinkle Sulphur on the wounds: ( Any information on what to do and how to care for those leaves/wounded plant overall will be much appreciated!

I have become a big fan of yours and am now watching some of your older posts and this is the first one that I didnt care for. I thought it was pretty careless of you to call people too cheap to fill the pots all the way up with soil just because they may put rocks in the bottom of their pots. Everyones on a learning curve and thats maybe what they were shown to do. We all dont have barns full of bagged soil to use at our disposal.

I really enjoyed this video and all your videos for that matter! Very informative, too. I love growing csctus and succulents and have a collection. My question is about my bunny ear cactus pads. two of them are turning yellow one is like an ash color. I'm not sure what this means. I have recently taken three pads off for propagation bc she was just getting too tall and leaning too much. Ty! Happy growing!

Well i mean, not all of us can afford to put an entire bag of soil in ONE pot. Not all of us have parents who own a greenhouse business with a steep discount on soil. I put pop bottles and two plastic plant pots in my planter and its working just fine. I'll continue making one bag of soil go a very long way, because one bag is $15. No way I could afford to fill a whole pot.

Not sure if you read comments on old videos, but, just in case. I don't really grow succulents, at least not much, so have no idea, but, recently it seems to be a popular thing to mist succulents like years ago we misted ferns. Misting succulents seems weird to me and I don't recall seeing you do it. What is the scoop on misting succulents? Good or bad?

Laura its rude to say people are just being cheap when they put bottles in bottom of pot. Think about it not everyone has money like you to just be able to go to the barn to get another bag of soil. Especially right now with this virus. Some people cant even leave their homes. Please be more sensitive and caring. Thank you

I have hens and chicken succulents. They are in full sun. I put them in the garage in winter and leave them alone. Bring them out in spring and they thrive. Rain is the only water they get unless we have a drought. I give them miracle grow once. I do repot them every third year. I've had them about twenty years. Love them.

Is there a difference between keeping the plant outside in direct sunlight and inside with direct sunlight? I have a potted plant that will go with me to college in 2 months where it will have no air conditioning. I'm trying to think of the best location to keep it while it's at my parent's house.

Ok, here's MY 2 cents. A lot of us were taught decades ago to add broken up clay pots, gravel, small pebbles by well-known gardeners (unlike you) to the bottom of pots before putting in the soil to help with drainage and so that soil doesn't get stuck in the little hole and clog it up.
