Needle nose pliers are so handy for gardening. I have an outside pair and an inside pair 👍🏻

Very interesting to watch... I love seeing different peoples potting methods and potting mixes :) Brilliant tip with the rubberbands! I thought this was great and I also like when people just film straight thru the whole process.

Beautiful and cute little astrophytum you got there 😀. Creative potting idea 👍🏻

Nice video mate. Great roots on those and they’re double the size of my asterias and mine are coming up to two years old lol. I’ll wait until spring before I repot mine though. Nice to see a repotting video from you as well, cheers for sharing mate 👍🏻🌵☀️

Amazing! I realize it's time consuming but maybe one day you would consider showing the entire process of how you actually planted the seeds, what soil you used, how often you watered them etc.

Great video, we would like to see the process of potting up too, that would be good. I cut the elastics and use a tiny square of sticky tape to hold on the plastic pot - doesn’t deform the plastics and you can re use the elastic for many different sized pot diameters.

Nice video Alex! Your little guys are adorable! 😍🌵

[PeggysPlants]

They are so cute and healthy looking. I was surprised to see that at that small size, they have so many roots. Thanks for sharing.

Great roots! I use coffee filters, too... after I use them for my coffee of course. 😉

Very nice, I'll have to give the coffee filter a try myself. Noticed any unseasonal growth this year? My easter cactus seeds have sprouted just sitting in the parent plant pot, the easter cactus is still growing new leaves, my mammillaria elongata has decided to start growing again in December and my orchid hasn't stopped growing. Very bizarre.

Apologies for the quiet/ inconsistent audio. I was quite close to the phone and didn't want to speak too loudly haha. Nevermind! Lesson learned :) ASMR video wasn't planned but there we go. Hope it's useful/ entertaining nonetheless!

Thanks for sharing Alex they're pretty little things😊

Careful with those filters they can cause mold and fungus. lost 2 plants

I learned loads watching this, thank you Alex!

Great seedlings! Mice had a go at mine last year, but all OK overall. This year, they’ve concentrated on the Lithops 😾

[jstamps]

Good stuff. Wow you grew those from seeds a year ago. I think I need to add extra grit to my succulent mix. Did you say mealy bugs can come up thru the drainage holes? Knock wood I've not had any but I might need some tighter netting than what I've been using because sooner or later I'll run into them. Would like it if you could show more of the process of planting with your rubber band trick, I think I get the gist but would like to see because I've got a lot of tiny plants from leaves I need to pot up. The sound is a bit low like you joked about, but captions fixes getting info.
