We’re big into terrariums these days. We have a terrarium at the store with geckos now!

New Caledonian Crested gecko babies. I know this isn’t the most in-focus video, but it’s still so darned cute. And look, back behind them, there’s a cryptanthus.

This is my goofiest video yet.

Hey! It’s my backyard!

The videos just keep getting sillier and sillier.

I came in this morning and Ian was watering, while eating from a bag of popcorn, so I took this video to show you how we do it at the nursery.

I think this qualifies as a how-to instructional video. Notice the technique, the juggling, the healthy breakfast…

People ask us.

This is how we celebrate birthdays at the nursery.

Today is Ian’s birthday. He’s quite excited to get a cupcake.

Have you ever wondered how you should water your little potted cactus? Well, watch me in action.

And all the rest of my instructional videos on youtube are right here. You can subscribe to my channel, and then you’ll never miss another new video, ever.

…How do you repot a succulent?

It’s my long-awaited and eagerly anticipated tour-de-force instructional video. 2 minutes long! Unfortunately, Brad begged out of playing the lead at the last minute, so I had to take over. And Bob was asking for too much to use one of his older songs, so the editors did the best they could, and I think they did a fantastic job with the material I gave them. Oy, the material I gave them…

And now you know.

…How big a pot should I repot this plant into? They really do ask us this particular question all the time. Now I never have to answer it again – I can just point them to this video, as if they haven’t already seen it.

People ask us, so we like to answer them.

…questions that we just sometimes feel the need to answer in video form.

This isn’t strictly a cactus and succulent video, and in fact it is unquestionably the stupidest thing I have ever committed to video and posted on the web for all to point at me and laugh. So go ahead, I dare you.

I can’t believe I just posted that. At least it was short. 

Now, I have to say, this advice is only good if you do not live in the desert. If you live in an actual desert, then please ignore this. Please?!?
