How To Take A Cutting Off A Plant (Video)
Hey guys so today I made this video today after work, I hope you enjoy it. Most of the information can be found on my "How to take cuttings from plants" post, but some of you I know are visual learners and/or just want to hear my smooth voice. ;) One thing I forget to mention in both post and video (because I rarely follow it myself) is to sterilize your blade that you are taking the cutting with. I've never had a cutting fail because of this, or really any other reason, but it's just one more trick to avoid contamination. Another thing to be noted here is I have most of my cutting experience with succulents, which are notoriously hardy plants. With others plants you might have to be more careful to get the same rate of sucess. Anyways, here is the link to the video. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it, and please like, subscribe, and comment to show support for me and my efforts. I will try and post things more consistently,and of course hopefully get better as I do. Thanks and have fun growing!

Crassula sarcocaulis or Ming Jade
Hey guys! so I made a new YouTube video, a sort of impromptu review of a Crassula sarcocaulis bonsai I had gotten after taking my SATs in Janurary of 2016. It's a wonderful plant and I would suggest these for anyone who wants a bonsai or houseplant that's easy to take care of.
As you can tell from the video, when they bloom they are stunning. The flowers on mine does exude a strong odor that isn't exactly appealing, but isn't horrible, so be warned. As with most succulents, this plant doesn't require much water, so try not to over water. Do water whenever the soil is dry, and make sure it gets lots of sunlight.
I cover quite a bit of information in my video, so try and watch the whole thing and comment any questions you might have left! I'm still working on being less awkward on camera, and making my videos as short and interesting as possible. It would mean a lot to me if you could also share the video and like it. You may subscribe if you feel the need. Hope you enjoy it!
