Taking a Look at the Giveaway Plants from Plants and a Pickle

Hey there, plant lovers! Welcome back to my channel. I'm Lauren, and today I have an exciting video for you all. I recently won a giveaway from Plants and a Pickle, and I couldn't be happier. Shelley, the owner, is an amazing person, and I want to share the wonderful plants she sent me with all of you.

About the Giveaway

First, let me tell you a little bit about the giveaway. It was a non-sponsored event held by Plants and a Pickle as a way to thank their awesome supporters. All I had to do was comment on the types of plants I enjoy, and I was entered into the giveaway. It was such a simple and heartfelt way to show appreciation, and I was lucky enough to win.

The Plants from Plants and a Pickle

Let's dive into the plants that Shelley sent me. There are some real gems in this collection that I can't wait to share with you.

Pepperoni Ruby Cascade and Code and Nancy

One of the highlights of the giveaway was receiving Pepperoni Ruby Cascade and Code and Nancy. I've been on the lookout for a Ruby Cascade for a long time, so I was thrilled to finally get my hands on it. These beautiful plants will definitely add some charm to my collection.

Hoya in the Shadia

Another fantastic plant Shelley sent me was a Hoya in the Shadia variety. Hoyas are known for their stunning foliage, and this one is no exception. I can't wait to see it thrive in my collection.

Peperomia scandans mints

Shelley also surprised me with some Peperomia scandans mints. I didn't even know this variety existed, but I instantly fell in love with it. The leaves are so unique and beautiful. It's a real gem in my plant collection.

Dragon's Blood

I was also delighted to receive a plant called Dragon's Blood. The deep red color of its leaves is absolutely stunning. It's definitely going to be the star of my plant display.

Adelphi and Other Succulents

The giveaway package also included an Adelphi succulent and a couple of other unnamed succulents. I couldn't be happier with the assortment of plants Shelley sent me.

Propagation Process

Now that we've taken a look at the plants, let's talk about the propagation process. I'll walk you through how I'll be potting these cuttings and ensuring their success.

Using Jack's Bonsai Soil

To pot these succulent cuttings, I'll be using Jack's Bonsai Soil. It's a high-quality soil mix that's perfect for succulents. Its fast-draining properties will help prevent root rot and ensure healthy growth.

Water Propagation

For some of the cuttings, I'll be using water propagation to encourage root growth. I'll be placing the cuttings in containers with water at the bottom and gradually reducing the water levels as the roots develop.

Planting Cuttings

Once the cuttings have rooted, I'll be planting them in pots with the Jack's Bonsai Soil. I'll match the cuttings that are similar in size and shape and place them together to create aesthetically pleasing arrangements.

Managing Watering

Since these succulents have different water requirements, I'll be mindful of their watering needs. Some may need more water, while others can tolerate drought. I'll be adjusting my watering schedule accordingly to ensure the health of each plant.

Vacation Preparations

I'm also gearing up for an upcoming vacation, and I want to make sure my plants are well taken care of in my absence. I'll be adjusting my watering schedule and taking measures to ensure the plants have enough moisture while I'm away.

Creative Plant Containers

Lastly, I want to share some of the creative containers I've used for my plants. I've repurposed various containers like mugs, teacups, and even old thermoses to add a unique touch to my plant display. It's a fun and budget-friendly way to showcase your plants.

Conclusion

And that wraps up my video on the giveaway plants I received from Plants and a Pickle. I'm beyond grateful for Shelley's generosity, and I can't wait to see these plants thrive in my collection.

FAQ

Q: Can you provide a link to Plants and a Pickle's Etsy shop? A: Unfortunately, I don't have a link to the Etsy shop. However, you can find Plants and a Pickle on Instagram for more information and updates.

Q: How often should I water succulents? A: Succulents have unique watering needs. It's best to water them when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so make sure to let the soil dry out between waterings.

Q: Can I propagate all succulent leaves? A: Contrary to popular belief, not all succulent leaves can be propagated into new plants. It depends on the type of succulent and its characteristics. Thicker, more succulent leaves are more likely to propagate successfully.
