- Hellooooo I have so many plants that need tlc, but today we’re tackling the most overgrown & in-need-of-care babies! I mean they do get a lil sunburnt & cut apart in the process…. But they’ll be ok

Hellooo there were some technical difficulties, so I had to reupload this video. Thank you to those of you who commented letting me know 🥰
Yeah .....good to see ya still love your plants like moi
I was like my phone is giving me issues
thank you❤️
Love this channel ! So refreshing seeing someone who is a plant lover and super knowledgeable but also figuring things out as you go! Feels like we are on this journey together lol (even tho I’m no where close in plant knowledge)
It kind of looks like you’re too overwhelmed by having that many plants. I was the same way and let half of my collection die off at that point I barely had plants and only started buying plants I ABSOLUTELY love it’s helped so much.
yesss, that's the down side of being good at taking care of plants - ending up in a jungle..
I totally get your frustration unravelling that siltepecana! I bought a massive staked and absolutely feral Cebu Blue a few months ago hoping to separate the vines and repot and restake each one individually. I had enough an hour later and just chopped up each node. Sometimes it's just not worth it!
Enjoyed watching your video, as always! Many thanks. You have a large variety in your plant collection and I always enjoy seeing your plants. Happy growing! 👌🪴🥰
Your videos make me happy and motivated to tend to my neglected babies.
Hi Erika. Thanks for sharing your summer plant journey. Gurl, I've been there with forgetting plants on a hot day!💯🥵🔥 Frusterating AF, but they bounce back 'cause we just that good😉 and nature is so resilient.💚 Love seeing others massive Summer plant growth. PS...those first plant roots were soooo satisfying...😍
You are super relatable with dealing plants i love it!!!
Thank u for 😍 sharing.
Erika I know how you feel I’m always shuffling my plants around, it seems they outgrow their space soon after they are put there. 🌿
Biggest struggle ever! I want them to grow & flourish but I also want them to stay suited to their designated space lol
Thank you for this video. I have been struggling with my monstera now from before winter. I have repotted it now three times, made sure about watering, got well drained soil, well more peet moss and bark with vermiculite. I am soooo unhappy because everyone on CZcams says, it is the easiest plant to grow, Yeaahhhh not for me!!
Erica: relaxing video as always. Most of my plants are really slow growers, but many often need attention. In my situation, I tend to repot more often as the circumstances call for it. It is really a judgment call and everyone's growing conditions are different. Take care! 🌱 🪴
I’m getting back into plants this year after like a year of neglecting mine lmfao. You have become my new favorite plant youtuber. You deserve more subscribers
Ahhh thank you so much!! I’m glad you came back to the planty side hehe
Looks like my garden except I collect cactus and succulents. I have so much repotting to do.
Hi Erika, love the video. What kind of potting medium did you use for the albo epriprenum?
Erika you are great plant lover your videoes are superv and you are also toooooo cute
Those are not clovers but wood sorrels. They are edible, taste like lemon, and good is salad if I am not mistaken. Great video. :) I love your content sooo much.
I love watching you work your magic! 😍. I was jc how many houseplants you have? I mean I know it's A LOT. But do you know the number??
this whole thing was a bloodbath lollllll
I had to switch to pumice. Perlite made me cough uncontrollably every time I used it.
G💚💚D TO See Y💚U And Y💚UR Plants Erika... N💚W I NEED To Go And Put In Some W💚RK On Mine!!!
Hahahahaah OMG I recently got a new Sans and repotted it and in doing so I got a little Twiddle bug village of Clover as well I just sort of left it in there for now and stuck a plastic dinosaur by it like it was having lunch lol...
I always love watching your new videos, your honestly so real and humble. I got a Siltepecana because I saw yours and I fell in love, but I quickly fell across the same issues your having now with the leggy stems, sometimes it’s growing pattern can be random, and for me it’s a super fast rooter. I still love the plant it’s just hard to keep up with🥲
Is that the croissant packaging from Costco? I use them to root my plants too. Thanks for the video.
Lol yes! They’re the perfect size huh
Hi Erika! Great video! Can I ask where you got your Hoya Bilobata? It's gorgeous!
Thank you! I won it in an Instagram giveaway a few years ago, but it originally came from a Lowes
💚💚
Hi Erika!😊 I’ve got a question and would really appreciate if you answer:)
I’m making a potting mix from coco peat, perlite, charcoal and moss, but unfortunately, I don’t have any nutritional organic ingredient, such as worm castings.
Should I just add a liquid fertiliser (I use a fish plant food) every watering or as usually, every 2 weeks? Or should I add any organic part into the soil later anyway?
I hope that did make any sense 🤭
Thank you in advance 🌹
I would just fertilize like normal. If you get guano or worm castings later, you can sprinkle it on top of the soil. Easy peasy 😄
@@ErikaLodes thanks a lot for the feedback ☺️
The "clover" seed pods explode when touched it is so hard to get rid off i hope you have better luck then me
😭😭😭 noooo! I think it’s gonna be a long journey
yes the seeds fly everywhere when fully ripe and mostly when touched🥲 good luck, guys✨
i actually once tried to get clovers IN my plants by purposfully touching the seed pods from outside my house and spreading the seeds in my plants but they kindoff took over and it took me loong to fix my mistake😂 and i didnt even learn my lesson because now im trying to keep them only in a couple plants because i still like them🤡
Do cuttings still root if the nodes are not submerge in the substrate ?
What is the name of the Hoya thats next to your siltepecana? It’s so stinking cute 😊
Aww those are oxalis, not clovers. I would have separated them and potted them up in their own pot 😅
Do clovers have root nodes like string of hearts? Will they come back??
I don’t know if they have nodes like that, but I do think they will come back. Someone said that if you touch their seed pods they explode & I believe it bc they spread SO EASILY
what is the plant at 11.15? the one damaged by the full summer sun?
Hey I just found out that the “clover” is actually wood sorrel.
My huge n'joy is infested with clovers
❤️‼️please read gurl ❤️🥰‼️ I BET YOU COULD SELL THEM TO US/ME/VIEWERS MAYBE JUST US/CANADA ORDERS (easy+cheap) !!! We would LOVE to have your plant babies, even if it means paying more for a plant than what it is wort, I wouldn’t even care. I’d love your plant cuttings 😭😭😭‼️😭😭😭‼️ when I’m given plants from friends(not often, I CHERISH them).
My siltepecana is EVERYWHERE. I'm opposite of you, I want to stake up my siltepecana. This plant grows too fast.
Did you stop ? 🛑
Sell your cuttings!!
Why have so many plants if you’re not going to properly take care of them (water/trim)? You have a beautiful collection and it’s sad to see and hear you say “you haven’t had time” to do so and so. Your plants can be doing so much better if you only keep what you know you can handle.
Eww, why be so negative? Life happens and schedules can change. She may not have time right now... but that doesn't mean she won't have time later on. Don't act like you've never had thirsty plants. All of us have things that we'd love to do if we had "more time". Life is a never-ending balancing act of trying to juggle all of your priorities and responsibilities. Don't shame someone for being human.
Because they are just plants…your concern is the kind of concern one should put towards neglected children or neglected animals, not plants! You have way too much (alone) time on your hands if you feel people should devote their lives to making sure their plants are living better lives than they are, Jesus.
An interesting experiment in a way I knew you’d find some good and some bad tfs 🫶🌱
PROBLEM WITH MY PPP’S 🥺‼️🫶 Right now I have 2 pink Princess Phil’s that have AMAZING aerial roots, and I want to prop them both SO BADLY. But scared weather to use ;
Perlite
Soil
Water- I don’t use “super thrive or nothing
Prop box ?
I’m not sure if these like 4-8 inch aerial roots rot, and then grow water/soil roots ?
