glowing up these seven plants + very important lazy pole update!

- Obviously we probably all want ALL of our plants to glow up, but I thought it might be fun to pick out a few that I love a lot but have been neglecting for awhile and really see how much a little elbow grease and extra TLC will go for them this year. I plan to do a glow up update sometime in the Fall, and fingers crossed I've got some good stuff to show you by then.
ALSO!! A little (but big) lazy pole update for anyone who watched part 1 and 2 and wants to make even easier fasteners!

I just loved watching it. I miss people showing the challenges they have with plants and your "plant emergency room" is very hopeful to watch :)
I would honestly watch a 3hr video from you lol. Your videos are so motivating and give off such a nice vibe. I love having them on when I'm doing my own plant chores or work. Much love
Makes me feel like I have a planty friend I’m doing planty chores with☺️❤️🪴
I love how you care for your plants with delicacy. That plumpy perlite had me 🤤. When you go to see your new baby niece/ nephew in Cali at least you have the most AWESOME plant friends that can care for your plants💚🌱🐾. I ENJOYYOUR LONG VIDEOS. Thank you!
I L💜VED this new moss pole. I went straight to Amazon and ordered a package of this PVC plastic for the moss pole and I am WAITING for it’s delivery 🙏. This is genius! Thank You
I would love to find out how your poles turned out!!
Love the invisible moss pole! It’s kicked off a whole round of experiments and prototypes at my house. Lol.
One quick thing on the securing pieces: for the slit design that the commentor suggested, you can just add more slits at various lengths so you can choose how tight to make it. Like holes on a belt. Let me know if that doesn’t make since. 😊
I have been watching your videos quite a lot lately. I appreciate your dedication.
You started quite a srir for me with the clear moss pole. I'm ready with the material and am ready to go!
Thank you!
So I use my kitchen colanders and metal mixing bowls for my plants every now and then. Ofc i wash them in my dishwasher afterwards. I just don't have space and some things just have to do double duty. Not sure why that girl thought it was so gross.
Loved this video, it was really relatable and I love listening to planty people talking realistically about their plants
I’mma come after these haters you talkin bout half way through 👀 dont mess w the Queen
I tried turning my gloriosum into a climber and it completely flopped over lol. It was like me when my husband tries to get me out of bed on weekends.
Wildfern made her El Choco Red a climber and it is huge. Was thinking about trying it.
I think the benefit of the triangle method is that you could cut more slits, enabling size adjustments.
This method also works with the straight slits as well! 💖
My McDowell was a climber until it gets mature, once mature it started crawling. Lol mine grew upright for a while then it made a 90 degree turn and I knew it was time to prop and crawl! Haha so maybe that’s what yours will do too!
I’m going to train a crawler this year now. Thank you! I love watching you and Pudge. Your long ass videos are so relaxing! Perfect for long ass commutes! 💜🌿🙃
Ooh let me know how that goes! And thank you for watching my videos 🥰🥰
This was so comforting!! I just did the same with my plants so this was so nice and relatable to watch.
I need to make it a point to keep the balance between healthy and rehab plants on my channel!
@@unplantparenthood I’ll watch it all!💕I think the word balance is overrated because nothing can be perfectly even. So I like to say harmony😊find the harmony that works for you!
Your videos are so satisfying 😌
I’m happy you’re enjoying the videos 🥰
I have a lot of fun looking up all the plants and products you mention. That chunky perlite looks like a plant's dream, but I had to fast forward through you handling it (heebie jeebies). Taking stock of our collections right now is a great idea. I was newer to collecting last spring, so every time I saw a cool plant I had to buy it before it was gone. I know now that they'll come around again eventually. And I've reached my space limit. This latest version of the Invisipole™️ is frickin awesome!
Well I started the hobby last spring anf have lost a lot of plants since... I'm a bad overwaterer and they all rotted... Thankfully none of them were rare or expensive so it's not so bad, I switched to pon mostly and it helps me to just leave them tf alone so I've ordered some off people, excited for my particiae to get yere next week! And I'm def gonna do this pole, just gotta get the plastic and the moss 😅, tried some plans and I jyst would rather it have roots already so that I can chop whenever I want, I hate hate hate propagating for some reason lol
Lol I think l the think tank in bc did great w Velcro closure. I tried all the methods as I just received the transparency sheets today …u even tried white 5” zip tie as fastener! It’s easier than Velcro … pretty inconspicuous because you really can’t see on back side.
I’m not too confident to making the cuff the right size w skits coz I also don’t measure. The other option not me ruined which I did do w slits. Is to cut multiple. In case I need to adjust bandwidth !
Thank you for all the ideas the knowledge the curiosity abd amazing content Charmaine! ❤
I have over 200 plants, but honestly my plants need more care in the winter than the summer. They need more water, they need their humidifier, they need a lot more. Lol but none of mine go dormant and grow all year around. So that comes with fertilizing, repotting and so on. Most of my repot goes on right now, because they do better in my opinion and can focus of growth in spring/summer.
I can’t wait for summer. That means less for me. Because it’s so humid here, I need to water a lot less because they don’t dry out so quickly. So, I guess it’s opposite here for me. It’s been an amazing winter too, I don’t think too much happened aside from a thrip outbreak 🙄🤦♀️
I loved this video. It makes me feel better to see other Goddesses having trouble inspires me that I too can do better
I'm definitely going to be showing more rehab plants in the next few weeks! I've got lots more 😆
I put off watching this because i knew as soon as id see your suffering plants, mine would stand out to me and i didnt feel like dealing with them then. Tonight however i kicked my ass into gear. Tossed out my mamei chonk because im sick of looking at it, repotted my dying viney pothos all together so its less to deal with and treated preemptively for the inevitable spider infestation coming next month. These videos are really a helpful kick in the ass to get my own collection looking good again. I love it.
I'm so happy this video could help! Honestly I had wanted to do this video a long time ago (well before the plants looked in this condition) but I just couldn't get myself to do it. Kept pushing them to the back of the tent ignoring it. I think part of this hobby comes with learning to be forgiving of yourself, and that you can't take care of your plants unless you're taken care of first. Thank you for sharing and making ME feel not so alone in neglecting plants too!
This idea is genius. You are a queen. End of comment.
It would be really cool to see a propagation video...propping with and without mycorrhizae to show what a huge difference it makes! Incase you ever run out of ideas. Love your channel. Lazy moss poles are the best thing ever....after you spend hours removing the roots from previous netted poles. Damn that took forever.
I’m actually doing a similar experiment right now growing some seedlings with and without mycorrhizal inoculants to see if there’s any noticeable differences between them. But love the idea of doing it with propagations!
You should be a cardiac surgeon, you would clean arteries perfectly. Nobody else that I see does a more thorough job. I love watching you videos
I got a rubrocintum from Ecuagenera recently too and it does not want to root either! I have just given up and put it into water. I think a chonk from mine is pushing out a growth point in a perlite prop box, but its taking its sweet time. Hopefully both of our babies make a comeback this spring!
I feel like we might have the same commenter that leaves really off putting comments and then the next video leaves a nice comment 😂 it bewilders me too
Commenter: OMG I HATE YOU YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON IVE SEEN ON THE INTERNET !!
Also commenter: love that plant at the end what is it? 😍🥰😘😍😘🌈🌈🌈
This video is so chaotic I live
😂
I'm bracing myself for the explosion of growth lol I've tried to be mindful and move plants along that I'm not crazy about(and were probably impulse buys!)so I can concentrate on collecting more rares/semi rares
I began "collecting" last year, I only had like 4. I have still, only one of those 4. Because of mainly not vibing with 2 of those. And the third was a hard loss but we got a kitten and she was a plant chomper. She's sense calmed way way down and I've created cat-proof spaces. :)
Now I've got 6, and 2 more in the mail. I am very happy with how many I have. Except 2 of them... I dunno they are NOT growing and I'm frustrated with them. But we'll see now that it's spring. And the others are all very small baby plants. :) I'm capping myself out at 10-12 plants this season. So. I have "space" for 2-4 more. I'm gonna be very choose-y. I wanna try a wide variety of genera but I don't want to overwhlem myself
I completely support this!! Honestly, quality over quantity. And don’t feel guilty if you fall out of love with a plant, or maybe don’t love it as much as you thought. We all definitely go through that. 💖 my dog was a plant chomper in his puppy days, so I know that all very well 😆
Now that's a pretty moss pole if you ask me 😍However wouldn't the fastener work just the same if you 'tied' it the sharp ends facing the pole, like inward, to avoid any poke-y bits and leaf tearing? Makes sense in my brain, not sure if it would work in real life 🤔😅Praise the hive mind let's perfect this invisipole!
Maybe crowd source is the term? I think this lazy moss pole is brilliant but afraid I don’t have budget to buy so much moss. 😅 Some use wood or branches as well like Caitlin in Plant Life in the Tropics and Amy Adwan.
That one leaf unaliving itself on cue I CANTTTTT
He really said “3…2…1…. 💀” so dramatic and for what
I'm inspired to try a lazy pole when I eventually have plants grown up enough for poles! I'm new to keeping house plants. And my plants are youngsters still :) I also really wanna try pon or leca
Good for you for taking the hobby slowly! I always cringe when people new to the hobby immediately spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on crazy plants right away without trying to understand plants first. Your plant babies will appreciate you for it 💖 LECA is a great substrate to start with for no drainage! And of course I’m always here for any questions if I’m able to help!
@@unplantparenthood thank you so much! :) I'm pretty happy with my plant choices so far. And my hoya wayetii is already showing active growth from two spots. I feel like a champ 🏆
Maybe I will try leca with something in a couple months 🤔
Any suggestions on what appreciates leca the most? Or takes to it fairly easily?
Try to fasten the straps the other way around, so they won’t stick out and maybe they lay more flat to the pole instead? Idk, just a thought. 🥰
I JUST FINISHED A MIDTERM AND I STILL HAVE 2 REPORTS TO FINISH FOR WORK TOMORROW BUT THE TIMING WAS IMPECCIBLE HERE I AM anyways love you and im excited to see some planty gLoW uPs brb making popcorn
YOU DESERVE AN HOUR BREAK BUT AS SOON AS I SAY “SEE YOU IN THE NEXT ONE” YOU BETTER FINISH YOUR REPORTS OK ILY
@@unplantparenthood jokes on you I'm gonna make a moss pole and hope my boss approves
If your boss doesn’t approve send them my way and I’ll handle it
😂 at least scam me don’t just breath on the phone like a creep 😂 omg so hilarious 😂 i like this reinvented lazy moss pole ❤️
like why do they always have to be so creepy 😂
Current collection question:
I'm happy with my collection. It's not a HUGE collection, and there aren't any really expensive ones, but I'm very happy. I only have a few plants I want (fern leaf cactus, Thai Constellation, and a longilobatum lelano miyano) but two of the three are outside of my price range.
One really interesting thing did happen:
I bought a thaumatophyllum stenolobum for $80 a while back from a random nursery. It's finally grown new leaves and wonderfully healthy aerial roots. The weird part is there's some variegation in the two newest leaves. It's just a small splash on each, and it's just a lighter green, but the plant is really healthy so I know it isn't a virus. No warbling or lack of luster. Just really nice glossy foliage.
I am going to put it in better sun to bring out the variegation for the next few but I have no idea what that's even worth! I haven't seen any sort of variegated stenolobum for sale so when it comes time to chop and prop and sell off my extras I don't even kind of know what I should price it. It looks like a monstera sport variety of that makes sense?
I've never sold any propagations but I think I happened upon a unique plant variation and would love to pass it out. The dream plants are on my mind so I do want to sell pieces of it for a LITTLE bit of money but I don't normally even trade so I have no idea where to look up how to price something like that.
How do you decide what substrate you're going to use for each rehab plant? 🤔 it seems random or maybe the mood you're in. Is there a certain thing that makes you choose one over the other? This is not criticism. I'm honestly interested in how your mind works 😍
I have about 62 four inch pots. It’s a lot of green but none are very big. I’ve started repotting but need to do more after the first of the month when I get paid.
You can do it Lisa!
IM HERE WOWE
not sure if you realized at the time that the poor single root on your sodiroi rehab was broken and flopping around 😅 i wished i could tell you through the screen 😆
Pausing the video to say you could put the tabs on the inside of the circle next to the pole. Basically turn it inside out so the tabs are resting next to the PVC and are under the long part of the circle. This is super hard to articulate I wish I could reach in and show you what I am talking about😂 but I think that would make it perfect😉
Sorry if this is super hard to understand. Sometimes It’s hard to get something out on paper that makes complete sense in your head. 😂
I love rehabbing plants. I look for clearance plant that are almost dead and nurse them back to health.
A plant rescuer!!
You mean a think tank? I really enjoy watching your videos. The random funny things you say are hilarious and Charmazing! I want a Patriciae for a few reasons but mostly because that’s my name😒 😬
One reason to use the lazy pole is you use less moss. You spend less.
It's one thing I love most about it!
Philodendron sodiroi is a climber hun
Love your videos! Where do you buy your clear plastic pots? Esp the new ones? I checked your product links but wasn’t able to find them. I’ve been looking for those types of pots for weeks now and haven’t found them yet! (I live in the US - not sure if that impacts anything). Thank you!
I have looked so many times trying to find your xo on Amazon and can't seem to find it. What am I missing? Can you please send me a link or even just tell me the right spelling please. Love all your videos. Using my daughter's phone now so you have another sub that she is unaware of lol
U probably won't see this but if u do, where do u get that plastic from that u make the lazy pole out of?
Here too wowser
Hard to see the spider mites when you don’t hold the leaf still.
RE using pots to boil and sanitise substrates. You are literally SANITISING, not to mention we touch substrates and then wash hands and don’t get grossed out when we later eat with those same hands 🤷🏻♀️ it’s just a bit of dirt I’m so confused.
Where do you get the clear cover pot? (You have on the pastazanum/pretty much all the plants) lol
yes! I also want to know. The only ones I have are former take out containers but my fav local chinese place closed :(
Amazing! Where are you getting all your clear pots. I know your friend has those square ones but what about all the others??????
They actually sell them at all of my local nurseries!
@@unplantparenthood daaaaaang. Not here in Nova Scotia. They have the ones with the slots in the sides. But not the others.
Did you import the Sodiroi Aff from ecua? Mine (roots and gross leaves) looked exactly the same and I tried so many times over to save it but it just did not want to live
I think the sodiroi aff was imported from Indonesia! It was growing really well for me for a few months and then one day it just decided it didn't want to live anymore 🥲
💚💚💚
I bet who ever that negative Nancy is while respond to thrifting like” omg that’s disgusting using used pots yuck!!!lol what a well not worth it just brush them haters off char ur so cool 😎
I actually had someone comment that I was “cheap” and “disgusting” for using my kitchen stuff for my plant things even though I’ve thrifted all the things I use for my plants so I DONT have to use my kitchen stuff. And even if I did use my kitchen stuff, why is that your business 😂 I replied “I don’t use this stuff for my kitchen” and she said “it’s still disgusting”
….❓❓❓
Damn I want some potato chips
I always want potato chips 😆
maan dont get me started on the tenue hah
Chicky the more i watch your videos the more i truly believe i have a long lost sista from another mom and Mr lmao the things you say and do are so me too comical and who in the flipping world dirty deletes like im gobsmacked that people write that crap to you oh my flip sakes how embarrassing on them yuck .

I went thrift shopping last week and i filled a cart with so many glass planting vessels i was so excited im totally on that no drain potting train solid with you and oh yeah using old pots and pans im doing it too i would rather recycle and keep it out of a land fill than buy new ! I am so ready and excited for that spring plant blow up i have all my ammendments to do up my new soils and things and i just recieved my very first regale yesterday in the mail and girrrl the most satisfying cataphil was on it to pull off i was in heaven lol great video and if wasnt all the way down here in PEI i would totally come clean up your plant mess if i could get you to clean up my place cause seeing you clean your place and floors in your video is super awesome you go hard core love it and all your tips and tricks with plants your a really great youtuber one of my top favs because your authentic i feel and i appreciate that so many youtubers i feel act a little fake on cam but not you girl i think you just do you and thats my kinda plant pal 100%

@@unplantparenthood thank you!!!
I got a philodendron splendid,,an It came from being in high humidity,,but wen I got it I placed it in my room w my plants an humidity sits around 50..All of the leaves look so sad an are yellowing,,if I lose all the leaves ,but roots are good,,shouldn't it push new growth out or is it done??
Hi Leah! Without looking at the plant, as long as you have one axillary node on it, it will push out new growth as long as you keep the stem happy! You’re also welcome to DM me on Instagram if you’d like to send me photos and I can send you a better analysis once I’ve taken a look :)
Okay thank you so much.
Sheesh getting tatted right now. Thank God I just found this to distract the pain
Lucky!! I'm itching for a tattoo!!

I think there's a lot to be said about the screen of anonymity, but there's also a lot to be said about social awkwardness. Like my sister as a teen would be quite nasty without knowing.
I'm autistic so I have a pretty big issue with seeming to be rude without knowing.
Hopefully you don't take things to heart. People have their own baggage that they don't even realize they have that permeates their personality. Honestly the girl who said it was nasty to use cookware may have not even thought about it being rude.
I am naturally blunt about my opinions. That doesn't mean I don't feel sorry when I realize I made someone uncomfortable, I just don't realize that I cause issues until someone brings them up.
Hope that helps you feel less weird about the first girl in your story.
You are 100% correct in everything you’ve said, and I actually have a few subs who have mentioned that they have autism and are also not always aware of how they come off. I do try to keep this in mind when comments come in, or just that generally written comments are not always translated or received in the way they are meant. About a decade ago I left a comment on someone’s IG photo that I wrote jokingly, and it was taken so way out of context and a bunch of people hanged up on me and basically told me to go f*** myself. But I think in this particular situation, it was the back and forth dialogue that went on between us that just made me really feel like she was just being rude. She also left me another comment on another video a few days prior saying I’m just another pandemic plant parent that is just acting like I know what I’m doing, and that I should be more worried about taking care of my plants than making a CZcams. I think had all those things not been said I would’ve probably just ignored it like I do most of the time. I guess I just didn’t wanna bring it up in the video and make it seem like I was going on this rampage about how this girl kept barraging me with comments. And even after I told her to stop commenting, she then left the nicer comments on other videos which completely threw me off.
All that to say, I do think your comment is a good reminder to always try and see the full picture before jumping to conclusions!
@@unplantparenthood
Oh yeah bigger context it sounds like there's some baggage on her end there. Maybe some people really have a hard time seeing others with things that they want. I know I'd like to try my hand at plant CZcams but I don't have the time or energy. I don't have the more expensive plants I like, but I do like seeing people with them talk about them. I don't feel any jealousy, but I generally am not a jealous person, you know? I want everyone to succeed.
You have the power of muting someone, but sometimes even that can just be fuel to the fire.
I used to moderate for a certain website that has a lot of discussion forums and I just think some people are super unstable. Those people tend to have a lot of time on their hands because they're not probably very socially entertained. It isn't on you to be their place to vent.
***
Also so what if you ARE a pandemic plant mommy? I don't know your life so IDK if you are or aren't, but we all had a major change happen globally and we're all finding ways to be happy and fulfilled with a whole new way of life. There is nothing wrong with people having the time to discover a new interest in the face of something bigger that we have no control over.
I know that I took it up with SERIOUSNESS around the start of the pandemic, but I was a few months pregnant when it hit and absolutely terrified of losing my child because there wasn't a vaccine for ANYONE yet. There still isn't one for his age (
Fucking spider mites. But it is inevitable, like you say. Just gotta accept that it happens. Like us getting colds.
Sorry I had to laugh at your clumsy moment towards the end of the video.
Do you reuse the perlite?
I do! If you watch my soil video, I show how I sift out my amendments and reuse it :)
What is that tool(for cleaning chonks)called? Can you get it at a pharmacy?
It's an ear wax cleaner! You can def get it at a pharmacy :)
can we get a link for those clear guys you get from jing?
jk doesn't ship US buuut could you link where you get your moss from??
33:06 The glittery stuff on your chunk was probably vermiculite. Dont like that stuff.
Weird! I’ve never used vermiculite, unless it was from nursery soil that got mixed into mine. They looked like big chunks of glitter. Not a fan either!
@@unplantparenthood Same, I had some in the soil mix I got a plant in and was super irritated about the glittery stuff that melted in my hand, when I repotted it. Disgusting!
PLEASE WHERE DO YOU GET THOSE BIG CLEAR POTS I NEED THEM 🥺
Hi!! Are you referring to the clear glass vessels or the plastic pots? 💕
@@unplantparenthood the big plastic ones!! But also the glass ones cus those are cute too 😂 I mostly have just been looking for huge clear plastic pots like that so I can repot my big poppa anthuriums and I love the way your big aroids look in those :)
@@lesliegg they actually sell them at most of my local nurseries! I believe they’re marketed as orchid pots. I’m pretty sure you should be able to find some online if you search “translucent orchid pot” or “clear orchid pot” ? And all of my clear glass vessels are from the thrift store!
@@unplantparenthood ohhh ok thank you!! I’ll keep looking for orchid pots I just can’t seem to find any that are as large as yours anywhere lol but maybe they just look smaller in photos so I’ll have to check IRL! Thanks again :)
Dang! It’s so weird that they don’t sell them everywhere. Actually when I went back home to california I wanted to repot some of my moms plants in them, and none of the nurseries had them either 😤 I hope you can find some!!
Do americans not say washroom?! im shook
We say bathroom/restroom usually but I can’t speak for everyone!
man some philodendron i just cant stand their growth pattern, i hate pax and those aff ones and mamei, frustrating
