About

Our story

The love affair with succulents started when i rented my first ever nursery, on 5 acres of land, and started Fern Farm Plants in 2013. Although, my first ever crop to grow were ferns and other foliage plants i soon became fascinated with the amazing colours and shapes of succulents. To this day, my favourite pastime is to walks around my now much smaller nursery and just admire the beauty of these amazing plants.

The aim

Succulent Growing Tips started as an FAQ for my customers and has evolved into YouTube channel and a resource website. My aim is to share my experience with succulents and help everyone grow the most beautiful plants.

The future

I’m currently working on books that will help concentrate information into one convenient place.

In recent years, however, the vision for Fern Farm Plants and Succulent Growing Tips has changed. With constant destruction of our natural world, regeneration of used farmland to habitats has become a dream of mine. For this to be achievable and financially viable, Succulent Growing Tips and the income it generates through sale of books and the YouTube channel will need to increase. As a result, my focus is slowly shifting away from Fern Farm Plants and commercial production of plants, though i will keep operating for some years to come. My large succulent collection will, however, always come with me as the love for these plants only keeps growing. Stay tuned for more updates!
