HAPPY DECEMBER 15TH EVERYONE!!! Instead of participating in Vlogmas this year, i'll be dedicating all my December uploads to THRIFTMAS! I'll be posting daily vlogs in the lead up to Christmas, and i'll only be posting about THRIFT SHOPPING!!! Videos like.... Thrift flip, thrift haul, thrift with me, thrift makeover, thrift store challenge, Christmas thrift, anything and everything I can think of to get into the holiday spirit while keeping costs low and keeping my consumption sustainable!
In todays video, i'm showing you all the planter pots that i've bought from thrift stores over the past few weeks, and which plants i'll be putting in them! I'm going to be using these plants to decorate my guest bedroom, and I can't wait to paint the new shelf I bought for them. Which pot was your favourite, and what sort of ideas do you have for the ones i'm going to be flipping?

You can add rocks to the bottom of a pot without drainage holes so that the plants can drain into the pot. I it's called french drain
And it's a nice way to get the plant a bit higher
Yes I do all the time and a layer of charcoal for filtering if needed
I do that, add small rocks or gravel to the base, when there isn’t a drainage hole.
I've run into a bad time with this method. I've found nursery pots in cover pots is almost always a better option.
@@crashtempo how so?
A succulent fairy garden would look great in the weird large pot🤣
I was literally about to say stick the succulents in the pink one! A fairy garden would work so well with the whole slight flower look it has too
Yes. Definitely! I was going to say the exact same thing.
Aww yesss! So cute!
Cute idea 😊 could even plant a smaller pot inside to create layers 🤔
I was just about to comment this! That’d be so adorable!
The one your gonna spottify (the black one) Could look just like a cherry if painted red with that long plant sticking out! Thatd be so cute!
I was thinking that too! So cute
Wow, that´s such a great idea ^^
Genius 😲
The bowl with the lilac rim is part of a wash set it would have had a large water jug to go with it x
I think it would look good though with plants in it, it just must be plants that need same care and placement
Would look cute as a bird bath!
@@flugansomintekomhem Exactly what I was thinking! Supercute bird bath!
It will be grimwades and I would look into the pattern as some can be quite expensive, depending on the pattern, run number etc
I was also going to say the same, it's part of a "Chamber" set, that is a wash bowl and water jug.
There was a bit of a craze in the late 90's/early 00's, when just about everyone was into ceramic "green-ware". You could buy the raw/unglazed ceramic, paint it or glaze it yourself, then have it fired...Who remembers Ceramic Parties?
14:50 Pothos is a vine type of plant so don't worry about it leaning to one side because that's what they do
You can also give it something to climb such as a moss pole or trellis.
I literally neglect my pothos and they still give me new leaves 😭 love them for that exact reason
It's also known as the "telephone" and it will grow a single vine all across the room!
@@entitled_little_cat everyone says they’re so easy but I keep killing my cuttings😭 tips? Thank you
I think flipping the big bowl into a bird bath that sits outside the plant rooms window would be really cute!
Hey alex you can find some decoration stones/glass rocks that you can put in the bottom of really big bulbus pots so the plants come a little higher. They have pink ones for sure!
That's what I was ganna say. That and moss or wood chips. All allow for the plant to breath, drain, and boost up on the pot.
Thank you! I've been yelling that like a crazy person as I'm watching....
Toilet paper or somethung like that also works to make it simple
Or that florists foam!
I kept saying the same thing. Glad I'm was not the only one. Rocks or glass pebbles would work perfectly.
ALEX THE BEIGE POT WITH THE STRIPES ( 11:10 ) U CAN JUST SPRAYPAINT IT FIRST AND THEN USE A ROLLER TO GO OVER IT WITH WHITE :DD
That’s so smart what the heck
I thought this!
👍👌
BIG BRAIN
genius, getting such good craft tips from this series
the pokemon succulent is called a living stone, they actually have very awesome variants in structure and colour
Also called lithops
I have one as well, hers looks like it might be flowering or attempting to!
Wow thank you
Split rocks! Love em but they're a bit difficult when they don't have enough light :( learned the hard way sadly
Yes, living stone or split rock are so cute but they go mushy really quickly if you overwater so be suuuper careful
You're spoiling us so much with the upload schedule and fun content, I'll have withdrawal symptoms in January 😣
I thought the same thing 🙃 my body told be: oh it’s video time:D
Right I’m loveling this so much! Also she is the only one uploading every day atm from my subscriptions so I’m like Yaay Yaay Yaay and the other ones are boring to me 😂
This is my lunch time, so I watch her videos wile I'm eating, its going to be a sad lunch time in January but I'm kind of happy that she's not overwork anymore in January
The first meeting of Thriftmas Addicts Anonymous commences on January 1st 2021, see you there.
Feeling the same!
That big purple bowl would make a beautiful bird bath if you can convince Sam to help you make a stand or a hanger for it
I thought bird-bath when I first saw it too! 😊
Yes
YES 😍
That japanese pot is actually probably a utensil holder for the kitchen. Doesn't mean you can't use it as a pot, but still, that is probably why it is so deep
Yeah, it looks like a utensil crock for sure
I was thinking the same 😀
You can always put something in the bottom to lift the plants that are in the deeper pots! some stones or a plastic bottle cut in half for example 🦜
pink purple bowl make a cute fairy garden that would be so sweet
The pink rimmed bowl from Stoke on Trent seems to be a basin from a pitcher and basin set. Something that would have set on a wash stand before indoor plumbing was common.
I was about to say the same thing x
I think the blue pots would be lovely pops of color with the mushroom lamps!
CZcams: minimalist vloggers
Pretty pastel please: maximalist!!!
Maximalist all the way lol
When you transplant your plants make sure you give them some water so it eases the shock! You can also give it rice water to give it a little extra something rich in minerals :)
Be careful not to give too much rice water because it usually contains arsenic. That's why you're supposed to wash rice before you cook it.
"This is a short video, sorry guys"
Looks at count....22 minutes 👍👍 We are spoiled if Alex thinks this is short
i can just tell that the air in that room is ✨CRISP✨
The really big pink bowl you could make a fairy garden me an my grandmother use to make them all the time when I was younger
That big bowl is perfect for clustering succulents. Just make sure you put sand or rocks at the bottom for drainage... or a mini rock garden!
here's a plant tip, plant a little wooden stick and gently tie the plant to the stick and it will grow upright it won't cause any damage to the plant so don't worry hopefully Alex sees this
I dust my house plants with a big fluffy makeup brush.
Omg! Living in the future! BONUS i get to buy a big fluffy makeup brush. Yay
The pink swirly glass container: hurricanes are candle holders (although you can obviously use it for whatever you like)
alex: "IT"S SUCH AN UNUSUAL SHAPE"
pink and purple bowl: is circle
I think it might be slightly wavy at the edges, like a flower, but it really doesn't show up on camera 😂😂😂
It's the lightly fluted edges. It doesn't show well on camera, but washbasins like that have light fluting down the sides and they're lovely.
That big purple edge bowl is the old style wash bowl, you’d have a pitcher of water in the bowl and when you want to wash up in morning or before bed you poured the water into the bowl
Plants love to have their leaves wiped with a damp cloth!! They’ve done studies and they have a positive reaction to gentle touches ☺️☺️☺️
That 80s looking tall pot would be perfect for a string of pearls or hearts, they usually need quite deep tall pots. They also look gorgeous!
That neon coloured pothos is a vining plant so it'll never stay straight up unless it has something to lean onto!
Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth :)
When Alex said just being in the room with a plant normally kills the plant......I felt that. Like a reverse Poison Ivy 😄
Same...
Stoke on Trent is actually the pottery centre of the UK! And where the Wedgewood company is situated as well. You'd love shopping at stores here haha
Yes I'm in stoke-on-trent it all about pottery
The pot made out of 12 pentagons is called a
regular dodecahedron.
Thank you! That was driving my bonkers trying to figure it out.
A lot of your plants need much bigger pots , they’re meant to be repotted fairly quickly when you bring them home and get root bound fast in nursery pots .
I literally just finished watching yesterdays episode - this is great - onwards and upwards! 😄
same lol
Also same!
Me too!
me too! i was just thinking how happy i am that Alex is ulploading everyday!!
Same haha I was like Yaay I can jump to the next one
The large purple Bowl you should do it as a fairy garden
This is my plan for my house one day, too. Full of plants! Plants and blankets. I have a blanket addiction. :-D Love the series, Alex!
Yes! Blankets and cushions 💕
No one absolutely no one...
My Harry Potter Brain: so you’re making a herbology room
Omg that succulent looks like Audrey 2 from little shop of horrors 😂
Feed me Seymour!
17:07 Stoke-on-Trent is where I'm from! The area is called the potteries and has a centuries old pottery making tradition. We have kilns left that have been there since 100 years ago. Wedgewood is also a Stoke-on-Trent Pottery brand and many over 40 (including my mum) used to work at the potteries factories as there wasn't much work back then.
Came here to say this as well, I'm going to uni in Stoke :))
@@danillamasaur6897 Nice ☺️
I have really come to look forward to these videos everyday! A bit of happiness in a rough time. Thank you. 🖤
Yeah, I feel you ❤
Since you’ve started this series I’ve been to Goodwill in America three times and I’ve found a piece of American History I believe!!! It’s a steel engraved photo of Newburgh New York and it looks very very old and I’ve done research it may be from the mid 1800s!!! I just don’t know what to do with it or where to go to see if it’s real because I live in Michigan!
If you think you have something valuable or interesting you can try posting about it on Reddit. There's tons of communities for stuff like that. They helped me figure out that 5 out of 6 of my final fantasy zippos were real.
That weird tiny plant is definitely Audrey 2, don't let it anywhere near blood 😂
Pothos plants are supposed to be trailing plants, so they're supposed to be hung or put on a shelf to trail downwards :)
Wipe your plant leaves down with Neem oil! It’ll clean off the saw dust well, leave them shiny, and repeal pest’s!
Tbh i personally wouldnt do it with neem oil unless i have pests bc it smells so bad 😭
Yes! Spraying the leaves may just stick the sawdust to the leaves.
I agree about the oil. It may clog up the leaves. They will be shiny when you wipe them down.
My opinion: The tall retro Japanese pastel pot, would look good in a kitchen holding tall spoons/spatulas etc :) Again, just my opinion.
that black round pot would be so cute painted like cherry red with those cute plant stems coming out
Alex: I’ve only recently gotten into plants
Also Alex: *Has a literal jungle*
Love it 😍😍😍
Yep! I started a couple of years ago but I am super cheap so I have nowhere near as many as her 😂 They’re beautiful 😻
When your pot doesnt have a drainage hole use rocks to make a drainage space! It works well to regulate the plants watering!
I mean this in the best way possible, this gives me jenna marbles vibes and it's the happiest I've been over a video in a long time 🥺
When you had them all together it looked like a beautiful forest!
I can just imagine how much work it is to make a video every single day. After thriftmas you should keep a loooong and well deserved vacation and just relax 😘 Love you!
I’ve always taken my plants out of plastic as I have found that plastic isn’t good long term for roots.
I don’t think you can suffocate the plant as it can get air thru the soil but you can rot the roots.
Hey Alex, I've noticed you're growing avocados and mangos from the seed. I've grown a whole bunch of avocados and more recently a couple of mangos. A few words of advice: Don't panic or be discouraged if your little mango drops its newest leaves. Mine tend to drop the immature leaves very quickly if something is slightly wrong, but the plant itself isn't close to death or anything. As long as the plant has at least one established leaf it has good chances of surviving. I started with 5 and 4 of them survived and all have ~15 leaves each. Avocados on the other hand are tough bastards and can be fast growers if you don't prune them. I have an avocado that sprouted in late March, that I only pruned in November (whoops) that is now ~175 cm tall. They don't really grow braches until you cut off the buds at the top. I would also like to recommend growing citrus trees from the seeds. They are super easy to sprout and care for and lovely little plants. Your climate should be perfect for them. I've grown various citrus trees for about 5 years now and they've always brought lots of joy to me : )
I think the big bowl might be from a wash bowl (or wash basin) and pitcher set.
I wonder how many people were screaming when she moved the plant into the pot
The Sorry Girls just uploaded a making home video and there is a green glass lamp like the blue and pink ones you found!!!
i was literally watching their video wehn i got a notif from ppp, I stopped to come watch hers
Same. I saw the green one and thought of Alex.
Ohhh now you got me excited to see that lamp in the new episode 😁
He's in a new basket, he must be turning over a new leaf 😂
i think the dark blue pot with the flower pattern would look amazing in gold
suggestion, take the plants with dust outside and hose them down gentle (you get more done and don't have to clean up the bathroom as much)
I love this series! It's made me realise how much I can find in charity shops (as we call them in the UK) for when I move out next year 🥰
Beautiful!!!! Love all the plants!!!! I think the large purple ombre bowl used to be a wash basin like you'd see on an old vanity. Usually it'd come with a matching pitcher and lay on a vanity to pour water in to wash yourself before indoor plumbing... supposedly went out of favor by 1930's, so could be quite old! Love the swirly pink and gold planter too! Also, that tray with the gold handles that you spray painted pink could possibly make for a great tray to put your wicker planters on top of so you can water them and the spillage will go into that tray. Thank you so much for posting every day! Feeling spoiled and happy to see a new one each day!!!! :)
"I just got into plants" has tons of plants. If I didn't have a small one bedroom apartment I'd do the same lol
for the light green plant, it's a vine so you need a stick or something for it to climb for it to grow upwards
Peace Lily’s need plenty of water & maybe put a plastic dish at the bottom of the baskets to catch extra water. Or some stones or something so the plants aren’t so deep into the basket
I love how you're wearing your dark academia outfit in this video.😄 Enjoying Thriftmas🎄
Shower the plants! I do it twice annually and they just really bounce back and so well after wards.
Yayy Plant babies!!! I'm living for this vlogmas haven't missed a video yet 🤩💞
ALEX! USE THE BIG BOWL TO MAKE A MINIATURE/FAIRY GARDENNNN
Alex you can put plates bottom of your baskets and that way you don't have to take plants out to water them.
And you can make any pot self watering very easily.
On bottom of pot next to wall of your pot you have to put small tube that is litle bit longer that your pot is and is slanting on bottom side, next you put expanded clay pebbles (this is better) or small rocks on bottom of pot.
On top of that you put round piece of thin fabric or piece of old stockings, you put fabric/stockings same way that self watering pot separator is (in Google there is good pictures of cross-section pictures of the pot) and top of that good mix of potting soil.
In here in Finland we have potting soil mix what is made for self watering pots, but the special thing in that is mycorrhiza that you can buy separetly and mix your own.
And then you just plant the plants 😊
Sorry for the long writing 😅
Having a few dark colours inside the all pastel room actually is a great idea.
Whenever I have a pot with no drainage that’s too deep for my plants I always put an inch or so of pea gravel in the bottom
When I was a kid, one of my chores was to go around the house and clean each leaf on the houseplants. So yeah, it’s a thing. 😭
rocks in the deep pots! also, a ceramic bit on a drill would make any of those pots have drainage.
For any of the bowls/pots you think you might want to plant directly into, drill some drainage holes in to bottom. Make sure you put masking tape over the spot you want to drill, it will help prevent them from cracking/shattering, and use a sharp drill bit, preferably one for glass or ceramic. When you go to pot them up, place a piece of either fly-screen, shade cloth or hessian in the base before putting the potting mix in. It'll help to keep the soil in the pot...and always use a good quality slow-release fertilizer, like Osmocote or Thrive, and water them in with a fish emulsion like Seasol, or Charlie Carp, it'll give the plants a really healthy start and help reduce transplant shock.
I hope this all doesn't come across as bossy...it's just stuff I've learned over the years that seems to work...
YEEEESSSSS i love this series. I never really thrifted before and this has changed my mind. You might have to hunt for good stuff but it is out there.
Pro Tip: if you buy a diamond drill bit you can drill holes in any of those pots except for maybe that glass one. That is what I do so I can plant directly in the decorative pots. Then I'm not limited by the grower's pot. I buy the bamboo saucers from amazon to put under all my pots.
because of alex i have now become very interested in pots and vases so this video is gonna be great for me lmaoooo
This might be weird to point out but you have the same hands as my favorite English teacher and yeah
How satisfying is it when the plant slides into the pot so perfectly? Wow, I'm convinced Alex!
Alex,
If you really wanted to plant them in the larger pots without holes you could put a drainage layer in. This system can also help with watering once you get the hang of it as you don’t waste any water. The water that gets trapped in the drainage layer will evaporate over time and essentially water the plant for you. The idea is to just keep the roots from getting too damp and rotting. Just don’t over water them and the system works great. There is a CZcams channel called SerpaDesigns who will show this better than I can explain it but... I’ll give it a shot.
How to make a drainage layer...
1.) get a bag of medium size gravel ( or size appropriate for the pots)
2.) set gravel in the bottom of the pot make sure to get a good amount is in as this part will hold the excess water. ( this step really depends on the size of the pot but an inch (2.54cm) is probably good)
3.) get some window screen/mesh. The holes of the mesh needs to be large enough to let water drain and small enough to keep the potting soil out of the gravel.
4.) cut mesh to the shape of pot and set on top of the gravel.
5.)plant as normal.
DESERT GARDEN IN THE HUGE PURPLE AND PINK ENGLISH BOWL
You can always add rocks/pebbles under the pots :) adds the air, drainage and can help fill those tall posts
That giant cream & purple ceramic bowl is definitely part of a set... A wash basin.
Using it to water your plants is perfect! ☺🥳
The blue pot with a flower/star pattern would maybe also look nice as painted white and the round center spots of the patterns as yellow ❤️✨
yay. these get me through each day
Favorite series this Xmas. Don't overlook handpainting your plant pots.
Oh man I love plants and pretty pots! I think adding stones under the plants helps keep the roots happy over time 😊💖
I think the big white to pink ombré bowl would be SO AMAZING as a pastel zen garden! Imagine you fill it with white sand and rather than regular rocks you can add pastel crystals and shells. I think it would go so nice with the aesthetic of the room, as well as give your guests a way to destress.
Could put the 2 rd bowls together add small plant to the outer rim. Some of your plants might need repotting...
Just wanted to say, I'm really loving this content! ❤️
Plants, plant pots and thrifting.... my life is complete 🥰
You have inspired me to pot some of the cuttings hubby keeps bringing home for me into fab new pots
Bowls that are to deep?? Do you have those cheap “stones” people put into clear vases?? That or deco stones would be good for height and drainage.
Alex pls give that peace Lilly some water it needs it 😂😂
This reminds me of my irl story:
Some years ago when I was getting into gardening, overtaking our garden from my mom into my care, I was trying out new gardening methods, strictly following moon and plant cycles etc. My grandma as a joke told me she has heard if you talk to pumpkins they will grow bigger. Sounds stupid, but what if it works?... So that year I had been scammed by my local plant seed vendor and instead of average sized pumpkins I soon discovered they were mammoth pumpkins (they are enormous), and that made me wonder, If I talk to one of them, how big I can grow it? So I choose my victim and without touching it (they hate being touched) every day I started to talk to one of them, it was at the time size of average pumpkin. I was telling it about what's happening in garden etc., just small chit chats. After about 3 days the pumpkin shriveled up and became tiny and died... it looked like those shrunken heads from amazon jungle. The pumpkin must have been damaged or idk not my fault or so I thought. So I tried it again. It died, this time in 4 days time...
I'm not gonna be talking with pumpkins again.
The big bowl is a bathroom bowl, it should have a matching jug and back in the day people would clean themselves with the jug and bowl. I work in film props and we use these :)
Everyone in my city must be hoarding their stuff because I could never find anything like this at the thrift stores near me😂
Time to put my lasagna in the over to eat it while watching this ahhshhsa
That big purple and white bowl also known as a basin would have originally had a matching jug/pitcher and was used for face and hand washing during out house days when the toilet man would come 😉
I keep seeing people to tell you to put rocks in the bottom of pots (which is a great idea!) BUT DON'T BE AFRAID TO RE-POT YOUR BABIES!! Given the size of most of your pots they would probably benefit from having more room for root growth. If you do commit to re-potting some of them you should still put a layer of rock at the bottom of each pot to help aerate the root and to also give your soil some mineral diversity. You could also totally replant all of the baby succulents/cactus babies into that big bowl you have. That would look ridiculously cute.
