This is a fantastic video and very well paced so it was very easy to follow! I'm going to save it in a playlist so I can refer to it when I need to identify a plant.

This and the succulent-communication video should be the standard to get into the subject first. If anyone asks me about succulent-basics, I will refer them to these 2 videos from now on! It took me a bit to realize that the approach that you used (plant looks like this - means this) is very uncommon, but possibly the most informative and useful way to teach how to handle plants in general!
Absolutely great work!!!
