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.

    What succulent topics should I make a video on next?
  • @dangus6934
    You know he's a pro because he has a holster on his belt for the clippers.
  • @erins.5420
    I’d love to see more episodes at this nursery and with this grower. Maybe a start to finish process? This is so fascinating!!
  • He is beyond our level, I never hold or touch my succulents like that lmao
  • @LydiaKelso123
    Did anyone else get super frustrated by the cameraman not doing close ups of the succulents? I mean...you had one thing to film!
  • 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
  • @korleendiaz6381
    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.
  • @vb8801
    Omg the way he man-handles everything 😂 stressing me out beyond belief 😂
  • @66patrick6
    Propagation tips and tricks would be cool to see

    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. Darryl
  • @acolon5580
    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_rogers87
    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
  • @TheSimhook
    As a hobbyist this was super fascinating being able to see how it goes on the production side!
  • @camille5173
    Wow... This nursery is succulent heaven ! Thanks a lot for this video ❤️
  • @Diana-zc6ki
    The stress level is real watching this grower handle these succulents so roughly.... But keep posting more succulent videos please !
  • This was very informative. I’ve had succulents for several years and this was a great refresher. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks.
  • @PinayMorenaUSA
    Im crazy with Succulents. I just love them , collecting succulents now since 2018
  • @ratboy669
    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-kw3rc
    Thank you for posting this!! I’m a botany student and I love watching this stuff! 🌱💛 love your videos
