Secret Succulent Care Tips From a Master Succulent Grower

Ever wondered where the plants in your succulent garden ACTUALLY come from? Better yet, what about learning how to grow succulents from a master succulent plant grower who produces millions per year?

In today's video, I travel up to the Plants by Post nursery in San Jose, CA to talk with Dylan Toms, a botanist and master succulent cultivator. You'll learn how to water succulents, how to propagate succulents, and the many intricacies of their care that you WON'T find online.

You know he's a pro because he has a holster on his belt for the clippers.

[haencoaquatic]

He is beyond our level, I never hold or touch my succulents like that lmao

I’d love to see more episodes at this nursery and with this grower. Maybe a start to finish process? This is so fascinating!!

[maryannedeering]

Wow, he really knows his stuff! So so very impressed! And he just picks them up and throws them like he know what he’s doing, which he totally does. So impressed! And what a huge scale he is dealing with, awesomeness. Thanks for going way beyond and taking us on this ride, blessings

Propagation tips and tricks would be cool to see

[vb]

Omg the way he man-handles everything 😂 stressing me out beyond belief 😂

[LydiaKelso]

Did anyone else get super frustrated by the cameraman not doing close ups of the succulents? I mean...you had one thing to film!

[christinakara]

I love how this nice nursery guy loves what he is doing

[TheSimhook]

As a hobbyist this was super fascinating being able to see how it goes on the production side!

I have to say, that tour of the succulent greenhouse was absolutely amazing. Dylan definitely knows his product. I would certainly support this green house--if it wasn't 1, 030 miles from where I live.
Thanks for setting that up, Kevin.

WOW... This gentleman knows his succulents! Would love to see more videos of him discussing in details the do's & don't of caring for succulents (especially indoors). 🌵🌵👍👍

[arie_rogers]

That man is everything I aspire to be in my life. He is incredibly knowledgeable!!! I wish I had even a 1/4 of that knowledge. Oh my plants would love me so much more ha ha ha

[camille]

Wow... This nursery is succulent heaven ! Thanks a lot for this video ❤️

[korleendiaz]

The way he was just roughly picking them up and throwing them back in the tray like a any old rock, while the guest gently picks one up, admires it, gently lays it back down. Epic gardening was the true suc God right there.

This was very informative. I’ve had succulents for several years and this was a great refresher. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks.

[ratboy]

one thing i noticed is that my succulents love a mix of compost or potting soil and medium to small gravel bits, with coarser gravel in the bottom, my burrows tail is doing awesome in that mix and i have a baby rubber tree in the same mix and theyre both really happy

[EmilyRose-kwrc]

Thank you for posting this!! I’m a botany student and I love watching this stuff! 🌱💛 love your videos

[Diana-zcki]

The stress level is real watching this grower handle these succulents so roughly.... But keep posting more succulent videos please !

The succulent God is so rough with his children. They must get so bruised.
