HGTV needs to give you a gardening tv show because this 40 minute video made my day SO much better.

Yes, REALLY like the longer version compared to sped up versions of videos. No apologies necessary for taking your time or being too long. Your expertise and time is very much appreciated. 😊 Your videos are like having a nice visit with a friend. Thank you 🍃🌻🍃

I enjoyed this. It's nice to see how you do things without the magic of editing. You didn't really ramble much, but kept up some pleasant conversation.

As a total newbie to tending succulents, I'm VERY grateful for this video!!! Thank you!!! 💗

Girl...you crack me up! Toss that box elder bug, miss the creeping spider, then open the bulb pot with your teeth!!! lol...Love it! Keep the vids coming. Always a pleasure to watch you. Informative and fun.

the camera loves you. you have a unique charm that you bring. your husband is great at being the cameraman. I think it would be interesting to see part sped up and the commentary. I do like when you name the plant in a pop up. keep making videos. we love them.

40 min video??? oh God you are answering my prayers!

ASMR succulent crispy leaves sound is always the best part about them while reporting and propegating

There is something sooo relaxing about watching these videos for me. I think I’ve watched this particular one 3-4 times this year.

I’m new to Laura and the Garden Answer family, yet here I am watching old videos already after only finding this channel 2 weeks ago. Great content of all the things Gardening and Family

I have watched your videos for some time now and I just want to say your house is beautiful. The backgrounds of your videos are amazing!

I am loving your videos and I am learning a lot especially about succulents and how to care for and propagate them. Thank you so much for your expertise beautiful lady.

I don't know but for some reason watching a succulent video that's being deconstructed is just so satisfying to me I love all those long videos usually I do not like to watch very long videos because you get tedious to watch but yours is just really easy to listen to I love it!

Oh my gosh Girl. The one thing I have never really wanted to do is pot up succulents but as usual you have opened up my mind and now I can’t get to the store fast enough😊

I liked the long version/real time of this. Love seeing the process... I think it helps to see the whole process sometimes, to actually see the nitty griity of trying to get the soil in the pot, the mess, etc :D Because when I'm at home making a mess, or having issues with an awkward plant, etc. and then you see these videos where it's all perfect, I wonder if I'm doing something wrong, right? Anyway, your plants and look and quality of your videos always look beautiful and very professional (even in the "mess"), great job to everyone involved, thanks! ;)

that was better than going to the movies, nice and long. can't wait for the next one. thanks

Loved the video and the lil spider facing the camera scooting along one of the pots..

when I saw 40 minutes I had too do a double take! ohhhh I need a cozy blanket n tea!

I enjoye immensely your rambling as you call it. You are very intertaining, we love you, keep doing what you do, it is not just gardening: it is who you are a wonderful. lady, love watching you!!!!

I loved the video!! So helpful to see how you didn't baby the plants. I'm always afraid of killing them in the process of planting / replanting. The trim cuts were super helpful. I hate to throw any negative but I was totally excited to watch how much water you put in each container since water seems to be my biggest downfall. Maybe next time we can see that too? ;-)

I wish I found this video 6 years ago when I first started with succulents.. Great information. That's a black prince with the huge flower stalk😊 I love taking my plants apart and showcasing them along with propagating what's stretched. Thanks so much Laura!!

Oh, I love this Lora! Thank you for posting a longer video. So awesome showing us how to trim up & care for all of these lovely succulents. I have one of the Jade plants. It's Huge & a bit tree not quite 2 ft tall. @ 35:12 you can see a jumping spider on the side of the pot. Hehe Bug killer! Aww You got an Amaryllis? That's so sweet. Great job Berbee's Best. =) 🌾Merry meet 🌿

Laura & Aaron, I do like the long version. I appreciate seeing the entire process. When I started the video I thought, "I'll probably just skip through the boring parts and get through this faster." But I just let it play and didn't skip a second. It's not like I'd want you to do every video like this, but from time to time, I think it's nice to kick back and watch you work. I also wanted to comment because you guys did so well both production-wise and talent-wise. My husband is in media production and I work with him on jobs quite often. Staying engaging in a 40 minute video with so few cuts is NOT EASY. I've seen a ton of 10 minute videos on youtube that are 8 1/2 minutes too long. You both did a great job making the 40 minutes worth it.

I’ve come back to this video probably 3 times now and I’m grateful that you show the whole process and “ramble” lol your rambling is informative and helpful. So plz more succulent vids like this one plz 😊♥️

The excitement when I saw the length of the video! 😁

I have thoroughly enjoyed this long video. I moved from the country to an apartment in the city and had to leave my bug garden behind. I love watching you play in the dirt so I can live vicariously through you.

I am new to the whole gardening/ succulent crush generation so I LOVED the detailed video and the treat of opening your bulb box at the end! Great job! 👍👍

Love , love , love the longer version! You make my day anytime I find a new video. I catch myself watching repeats if there's not a new one yet. In Tennessee we have high humidity, so even when temp is in the 80's , it's unbearable outside. I can't wait to get back out , once it cools down in afternoons. Keep up the great work!!

Hi Miss Laura! I love the long videos! The more you do, the more you talk, and the more I learn. =) All you were missing was Mr. Kitty. ♡♡♡ I wanted to give your hubby kudos too, he's getting fancy with the camera. Y'all make a great team! Have a Blessed weekend! ♡♡♡

I loved this video. I’m just beginning to collect succulents and want to winter them inside with grow lights. I live in New England so it gets pretty cold outside. it would be great to learn more about the grow lights and see how you set them up in your indoor grow room. Thank you for doing this type of video. It was awesome!

Yes! Love the long video. I learn so much from you. My house and garden is filled with plants, thanks to you Laura. Keep up the good work!

Thank you, great video. You made me smile when you were talking about how satisfying it was to clean up some of your succulents comparing it to dusting off a piano. I just got done cleaning up three pots of geraniums for a friend this morning....ahhhh so satisfying. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. You are awesome!

Please keep the longer videos coming! Really nice to set aside the time and watch and learn! Many times the short videos leave me wishing they were longer. All the best to you guys!!

Thank you so much for this video. I have just recently discovered succulents for myself and I am so incredibly addicted!! I love all your succulent videos and I have learned so much from you! Keep making succulent videos, I can't get enough! I just ordered the supplies to make your adorable mini succulent palettes!!

Good thing about going on vacation...now that I'm back I have 4 videos to watch/catch up. Yay! :) Thanks for everything you do Laura.

I got my grow lights in the dining room and love having my plants in my eyesight. They are part of my family.

Enjoyed watching how you clean up succulents and repot. I have some that needs doing and I had no idea what to do. This was so very helpful. I liked the longer video. You are great at just talking like we are in the room with you. Great job as always!

thank you so much for doing this video Laura. Its so nice to see someone exposing the not so pretty side of succulents because its way more honest. I really enjoy your videos! Please keep up the good work!

You're always so on task and on topic! That's considered a skill to me...😄

Loved the long version! You made my Sunday morning! I just did this last weekend with 35 Succulents I had on top of two pumpkins. I know I should have waited a week lol, but I got bored with the pumpkins and wanted to get them in keeping pots until the next project. I learn so much from you and it's great to know someone else is as plant crazy as me !!! By the way - applause to Aaron, the silent part of the dynamic duo. I appreciate all of his great talent to capture all of this, the tight shots at the end of videos, all the captions he seamlessly add, and his good taste in music !

I loved this extended video! It's a lot more relatable :) I can't wait to see your grow light video & it's PERFECT timing because I'm about to undergo my first winter season in the succulent hobby & have been back and forth with grow light selecting since there are so many out there yet I know so little despite my intensive research >< So I'm definitely looking forward to see your opinion! :D You're so inspiring, Laura

Hilarious when you threw the bug on the floor. I Just found this video , paused it while I ran to the garden center before they closed to buy succulents, soil and a bowl to plant them in. You are just an inspiration.

I love the longer video. I'm new to gardening and the step by step instructions are so helpful. I loved being able to see everything you were doing. Hope you have more videos like this.

Thanks for doing a long video and on my favorite subject, succulents! I'm looking forward to the grow light video, too, since this is the first year I've actually had a small grow space for my newly acquired succulents. Can't stand the idea of losing them!

My favorite part is when you man-handled the bug and threw him across the room XD

I love the longer video and I'm glad it was on succulents. You answered some of my questions. Thanks Cheryl

Thank you, thank you, thank you this is exactly what I needed something for the beginner. I have just started changing over from regular plants to succulents after loosing over half of my plants to a move. Nothing worse then having to move in the middle of the winter. I will definitely be catching up with your past videos as well. Love your entire presentation, very easy to follow and wow you make me feel that I can do this. No more being so afraid when I repot.

I enjoyed seeing you in an environment as I have. I don’t have a space outside and must use kitchen counter if I want to plant. Love hearing you talk about the plants so matter of fact like. It has given me confidence to start making my own succulent planters and not be afraid of handling the plants. I am learning quite a bit from your videos and hope you continue. I get inspired from watching you.

Haha the part when you are excited about cleaning the simpervivums up is great. You make even garden chores sound fun. 😄 Thank you for sharing what each plant is, and even about the boxelder bugs. We have had those bugs enter our homes lots and didnt know what they were called. Also, my husband laughs because I always seem to kill cactus and succulents. He says I kill them with love. So thank you for making such great informative videos...I have managed to keep one of the 3 succulents I received for my birthday alive over a year now!

Lots of great information...not too long at all. You did a great job showing your process. It was great! I do oil paintings and people always like to see your process, whether it’s painting, gardening or quilting etc. it’s interesting to creative people. I learned a lot. 👍😀 thank you for taking the time to share!

loved the long and detailed video! 😀 just what I needed on a sunday afternoon! 👏👏

Loved the long version and process. It was really informative and I loved the way you love your plants! Now I need to find the video where you planted succulents in pots without drainage.

I just received a collection of Sempervivums from around the world and your video was awesome! Watching you do clean-up and re-pot succulents was very helpful 👍.

I don't think there is anybody that loves what they do more than you do. Your excitement is contagious! Keep on keeping on!

Great video! I am going to separate and bring in my succulents (in Minnesota) this week and you answered all of the questions I had last year at this time. I did not mind the longer version, it was very informative. Thanks for doing these videos! You have a wonderful easy-going way of explaining things.

Your smile has made my morning! Nevermind the length, no doubt this is a video I’ll keep in mind next time I see to my own succulents.

The finished product is so beautiful! This is my dream afternoon, if I had the time!

I enjoyed this video very much. I love succulents so I need to hear all your advice and knowledge about their care. Thank you so much Laura. I love your videos.

Love all your videos. Even with not planning where each plant was going it still came out beautiful. Video was a great length. Like watching a show on TV. Great!!👍👍

You're so pretty I love watching your video. Just started planting succulents and I love how you arranged succulents in a pot. Thank You!

Loved the long video!! Hope you decide to do more and more of them!! So fun to watch!

Excellent excellent video! I have to admit I didn’t know about making the cuttings callus before repotting. And I love that you showed how to trim and save succulents, I was throwing them away! My succulents will love you! Thank you so much. From a beginner succulent grower!

You have a beautiful combination of plant knowledge, down to earth approachability and a lovely warm vibe. No wonder you have over a million subscribers. Keep doing what u do so well xxx

Great video! Enjoyed the long version for something different! Thanks for sharing your tips. I really like the jade in the urn!

I loved the long video...and by not cutting things short I learned even more! Thank You!

You are gorgeous and you don't ramble. Thank you for sharing your gift of planting. I could watch you plant all day. You bring beauty into our lives. 😉🖒

LOVED this long video with lots of explanation regarding what you're doing, looking for, etc., as you went along!

I'm fairly new at succulents so I really appreciate your identifying each plant. Thanks!

I'm from Malaysia. I start growing succulents and cactus because of your. ♡ your videos

Great video ! Loved seeing how you took everything apart. Makes me less uneasy about repotting my plants !

I have watched multiple videos of your tonight and I just want to say that you are absolutely fantastic, this is a perfect channel for me so thank you for hosting! Keep up the great work! Big inspiration to me!

Wow! Loved hearing about all your plans. It’s going to be amazing and so much fun to watch happen!

just got it to growing succulents and been watching your videos since day1..love your videos..love your charisma..ur a natural

I really enjoyed your videos, just had back surgery and its nice to think a few months out when it gets nicer. You have a calming voice and are easygoing, easy to listen to. Keep up the good work, I will be looking for more by you

Oh I LOVED this!! I have made soooooo many succulent bowls/pots etc. that are totally overgrown now, I do my best to break em up, but some typically do get broken, I just keep em until they form new roots though and then look for someplace else to plant them! No easy task at this point! Winter find me putting many of my potted succulents in the garage or upstairs near the window, sometimes if frost is predicted I just grab as many as I can, throw a plastic tarp over my antique dining room table, and thats where they end up! Hey, whatever it takes! Thanks for the video!

Great to watch the process and giving me some inspiring ideas about my lots succulents ! Thanks!

Soooooo fun to have this long video playing in the background. Loved this soooo much

Thanks for the video Laura! Please do more long videos, as I find it extremely helpful seeing the process the start to finish. Along with your tips and tricks, it is helpful just to see you handle the plants and banter on about facts that come to your mind as you go (as these are questions that pass across my own mind when I repotted my echeveria and haworthia last week). Will you be doing a seedling video later in the winter with your new grow lights? I recently purchased a couple to have a site set up for Feb/ March time. I am in a zone 5b (Ontario, Canada)so I find it easy to relate you! Once again, thank you for all your help and I look forward to seeing your next video!

it looks me days to watch because of my kids but I love watching you videos and u chop up your plants so confidently and how you place them so strategically. thank you.

Laura, I'm rather new to you. I'm seeing the recent videos, so I can see just how you've gotten so great. And , I love to see Aaron and your cute little boy and this morning seeing your adorable little girl! I'll be seeing all your videos. Thank you!!!

Laura, I struggle so much with succulents. I love them but I just haven’t gotten savvy with them yet. I am watching all your old playlists and all these succulent videos are inspiring me to try again. We will see how it goes!

It was definitely entertaining and you had a lot of information to give! I really enjoyed the video.

This video is SOOOO helpful. I watch this every time I need courage before working on my succulents.

I have learned so much from you about repotting succulents and arranging in beautiful arrangements. I am a novice with succulents and always scared to repot and propagate my plants. Thank you for your videos…you are the best!

I do like the longer video! I'm planning on doing a large succulent arrangement after the holidays, so I'm really glad you showed how to take it apart and replant things when it gets overgrown :)

Your videos are the perfect mix of professional and casual. So easy to watch and so informative. Glad I found you, I'm here to stay.🙂

Confession time...this is my FAVE Garden Answer video. Idky but it totally soothes me! I find I watch it every time I see it pop up on my sidebar. And sometimes i play it to help my mind calm down for sleep at night. Love the transformation of the plants, Laura's lil quirks ("cleaning the top of a dusty piano....the besssst", "cras-ooh-la, crass-yule-ah, whatever"), the crunching of old foliage. lol, it's the little things in life!:) the best!:)

Your video is very informative and full of substance. Precise and to the point the things you discussed were so valuable. I don’t know how your video just happened to show up while watching other videos. I’m so happy to discover YOU especially this process of repotting. It’s perfect timing because many of my succulents are needing to be repotted and beheaded (a scary term for me) Lol. Now, I feel confident ‘beheading’ the overgrown and leggy succulents. You did a fabulous job as well as your hubby as the behind the scene talent. Thank you.

It’s fun watching you repotting your succulents! I love succulents, too.

I loved your video. It gave me so much information on succulent. Also I love the container, that came with the Amaryllis .

Have seen you do this one when you moved in your house, but still love it and learned from it again. Keep them coming!

I didn't use to like succulents, but since watching you do arrangements, I have come to love them!

Enjoy watching your older videos. Trying to learn about succulents other than Aloe. Well done!

Thank you. I'm wary of long videos because I've found so many that are long, based solely on being long. There's no better way to turn someone off than to make a 40 minute video with 5 minutes of information. Your videos, however, are filled with substance. And, although I don't always have time for a longer video, when I do have time, I'll know your's will be worth the watch. : )

One of the BEST gardening videos ever! I feel like I'm design challenged but looking at your gorgeous designs I guess there are three things to keep in mind: height, trailing and in between ☺️🌵. Thank you for your talent and keep making these full length very informative videos👍🏽

Your videos have given me so much information and confidence in growing and having fun with my succulents. Thank you!!! I have learned to have fun combining different varieties to make a beautiful arrangement without fear of doing it wrong. I have learned that it's okay to prune back unruly plants and how to do it, and I have learned to how to start new plants from cuttings. I have always loved succulents, but there was always a little bit of a mystery for me about how to grow them. I am excited to take what I have learned from you and apply it to my succulent babies. One more thing... I love the way you combine and pack in lots of varieties in the same pot for beautiful arrangements....so pretty!!!

I haven’t jumped on the succulent bandwagon but you make anything in the gardening world so interesting! Love the detail (long version) very much!

I love the long and thorough videos. You inspire me to repot my plants! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

I really like the long video. You’re getting me hooked on succulents, so I’m going back to watch videos on them I hadn’t seen. They really are fun. Laura, I don’t think you could put an ugly pot together if you tried. The “random” pots look great, especially the first combo. It already looks gorgeous and will just get better when it fills in! I’m a Master Gardener/Plant Addict and really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work! 🍀🌞🌸

Yes! Loved, loved, LOVED this long version video! It's like hanging out with you and learning so much at the same time. :) I also loved that you opened that plastic with your teeth, instead of getting scissors. LOL That was exactly what I would have done. *snort*
