Succulent Care & Bonsai Basics for Your Home

Here's a quick look at how I care for my Crassula, or jade plants. These succulents are known as lucky plants or money trees and are very easy to grow, as they thrive on neglect.

Let's repot this unique succulent, the Crassula 'Gollum'. I'll take it from its nursery pot and give it a new home with fresh soil and a top dressing of gravel for a finished look.

This video shows my process for repotting succulents. I carefully remove the old soil, inspect the roots, and place the plant in a new pot with a well-draining soil mix perfect for succulents.

Here's a creative DIY idea for succulents. I'm using several long cuttings of a jade plant, weaving them together, and pruning the top to create a unique, braided bonsai-style tree.

This is a complete guide to watering succulents. I explain how to check the soil, what the leaves look like when overwatered versus underwatered, and why you should never use a spray bottle.

A little fun with my jade plant. If your plants could talk, what would they say? This one is asking for a little more attention, because even lucky plants need water and sun.

Watch as I repot this Sansevieria cylindrica. I'm dividing one overgrown plant into two new ones, giving them fresh soil and new pots to encourage healthy growth.

This is my go-to method for propagating succulents. By laying the cuttings flat on the soil, you give them the best chance to root and grow into a full, lush planter.

Here’s a look at how I propagate my Haworthiopsis attenuata, a type of succulent. You can see how one overgrown plant can be divided into many new baby plants, each ready for its own pot.
