    This right here is all I need! Whenever I do stuff, if it is plant chores, or cooking, or anything, I always want to talk about something or hear people talk to me. So when I do plant repotting today, and plant room clean up,I will listen to this!

    “How do I get on here and act like nothing is wrong when everything IS wrong”…. That hits home and the answer is YOU DONT. Having lost my husband in 2016, I can say pretending like everything is fine isn’t truly possible and be sure to extend yourself grace - the same way you’d do for me or anyone else in that situation. *hugs*

    Bless your heart. I lost mine unexpectedly 5 years ago and thank you for telling people not to ask because it’s still hard and it’s something you will tell people when you’re ready and it is very personal and painful. Remember there is no right or wrong way to deal with loss and grief and there is no time period. You do what you need to do to heal yourself. And you set the tone for friends and family about your boundaries and it’s ok to talk about those loved ones lost. Prayers & Hugs to you

    I found your channel over the summer, & it’s become a great place for me to come to when I’m having a bad time. I lost my son’s dad just a little over a month ago… & since he was so young, of course people ask me how he passed away, but like you said, how he passed, is irrelevant, it’s the fact that he passed, & that’s hard enough. I really like how you worded that, & I will respond with that answer from now on. I’ve always loved gardening outdoors, but until I found your channel, I never thought of indoor plants, I now have 7 in my room lol (it’s the only safe place for them to hide away from my cats😅). Having them to “work on” has been such a great escape over this last month, I’m even trying to get my son into it with me. We’ve been trying to go to a new nursery every weekend. Thank you so much for all the knowledge you share with us, it’s truly so valuable, & so appreciated! Wish you all the success in the world!

    I am so sorry to hear about your husband's passing. I had no idea because in pretty much all your videos I've seen you have the most up beat chipper attitude. You really are an inspiration showing how to move through grief in a positive way by bringing plants to life and maintaining their vivacity over the years. These videos and shorts really keep me going through the hard times. Thanks for all you do Krystal ❤❤❤

    I lost my wife unexpectedly in 2001, and finding and following you has been cathartic for me. I think you hit on the biggest thing - we keep going because we have no choice but to. Every day, one step in front of the other, because what else are you going to do?
    US Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman released a poem called "New Day's Lyric" at the end of 2021 as a way of processing everything going on in the world at the time and resetting into 2022 that resonated with me so much that I have an art print of it that I see every single day as a reminder. It begins:
    May this be the day
    We come together.
    Mourning, we come to mend,
    Withered, we come to weather,
    Torn, we come to tend,
    Battered, we come to better.
    Tethered by this year of yearning,
    We are learning
    That though we weren't ready for this,
    We have been readied by it.
    We steadily vow that no matter
    How we are weighed down,
    We must always pave a way forward.

    Hi Krystal! I am very sorry about your husbands passing and i 100% respect you wanting privacy. Thank you for all of your advice and sharing your journey. I lost my grandmother less than 3 months ago, and had to put our 17 yo kittie down 4 days ago. It has been very rough trying to find motivation, let alone take care of my plants. This video gave me motivation to keep going, especially with my plants. Everyone here in the comments, and Krystal, you are all in my prayers. ❤

  • @lovesyorkies3395
    @lovesyorkies3395 Před 6 měsíci +3

    I have several toxic plants in my collection and I have 3 Yorkies, none of them have ever messed with or shown interest in my plants. They prefer being right next to me rather than sniffing around plants. Now as for soil on the floor…I clean it up as fast as it hits the ground because my oldest yorkie will try to eat the soil.
    I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. Lifting you up in prayer.
    I agree with the growing veggies. I tried a few years back and it was tough keeping up with them. I yielded tomatoes but they were so bland 😖 in talking to my friends husband he said tomatoes are very tricky to grow. I can get yummy cherry tomatoes but big full size tomatoes… nope. Now I just focus on my plants. I’ll try again when I have the time to dedicate.

    I am a new subscriber and enjoy watching your videos. I actually teared up a bit watching this one. 2022 was a crappy year for me as well. I lost my Mom and my dog. I also quit the best job I ever had to take care of my father who has dementia. There is some good in this, though. I have taken over my Dad's garden and have started a new plant collection. I find solace with my plants and a good a cup of coffee. One day at a time.

    Thank you for sharing so much about your life, I hope you know you never have to give any information you don't want to but it was really nice to hear about the things you've struggle with in your life. I cannot relate to the grief, but hearing you talk about learning how to live life again is very similar to how I've been feeling. I've never pursued my hobbies to the extent that I am now, and you have been one of the motivators in the plant department for me :) I'm glad to have such a chill and goofy person to learn about houseplants from. I don't know if you have ADHD like me, but you definitely give the best vibes that way. Thanks for being such an inspiration, I can't wait to keep collecting my little green friends!

    Speaking about outdoor gardening, It takes a lot of stress off by watering by drip. Once it is hooked up it changes everything. I watch Garden Answer and that is where I learned about it and witnessed the advantages. My sister in law gifted me a pretty good size monstera. My very first one. I looked to you for help. I have had 3 new leaves come and with striations on each one. I was so excited. I noticed a new one coming again. I need a better staking system but I wanted to live with it. Thank you for helping me and so many others gain confidence

I'd like to thank you for making videos. You're the one who took me from a notorious plant killer to someone with 40+ thriving plants. I've lost a life I used to have in the past year and a half, and getting into plants has really helped with the growing pains.

    I was so happy to see you post this video. My plants have helped keep me sane and happier since 2018. That year will forever feel like the darkest loss year of my life. I still go plant shopping after a stressful day to cheer myself up. Hugs to you Krystal from Texas!❤

    Plants are part of how I’m managing my own grief and learning to not kill them is how I found you. ❤
    Do you have any polka dot plants? It seems like so many people hate their drama. I *think* I’m doing ok with them after 3 years of letting them get leggy and go to seed, and regrowing them. Mine are pink. I kinda love their drama and feel like you might too. 😉 I don’t see many folks talk about them.

    I’m so sorry Krystal for your loss. Much love, prayers, and support throughout this difficult time. I lost my Momma in October 2023, and the grief so great! The pain and grief is something that is overwhelming most days for sure. May God continue to give you strength. Please be silly and goofy! You have brought laughter in my life. Love watching your videos. I’m a new fan and will continue to watch your channel. God bless you sweet lady. 💕🤗

    Always watching your shorts but finally came around to your long length content. Listened to you talk about plants while repotting my cactus and pothos and propagating my pothos as well! Didn’t even realize how long the video was. Love your content! Thanks for the transparency

    Hi, love your videos, you are a pleasure to be around. I like your quirky fun side, but also your more serious way of answering questions. I think you have a good balance of both. I´m always tempted to use your phrase "drown that h*", but it´s not me, so I normally phrase it differently, but in my head I always hear you :D I live in denmark and we had a planty meeting the other day, and people told me they always kill cactus/succulents in winter and I just look accusatory at them and asked if they watered them, made everyone laugh and then we talked about it a bit more.
    What you said about not talking about your husband (or other personal details) was really well done. I fully agree with not sharing what you don´t feel comfortable to share and to respect your loved ones and friends boundaries even if they are not with you. I also wouldn´t ask this sort of question, but in general people are curious and there always is someone who will ask, so I wish you all the strength to just say no, I won´t answer this, and hope that people (internet or real world) will accept it.

    I was so shy about starting my own plant family. My parents and brother are all great growers. They’ve worked and spent time taking care of plants, I felt so intimidated. I love your personality so much and it gave me the confidence to try, now I have 7 plant babies that I’m taking care of ♥️♥️♥️

    I am a new subscriber when I was looking for Hoya Kerrii care. I saw your channel and fell in love with your knowledge of plants, your love for plants, & your awesome quirkiness.
    I am learning about plants from you. I get excited to check for your next vid.
    My condolences for the loss of your beloved other half.

    Krystal, I found your channel recently and you’ve really become one of my favorite CZcamsrs.
    I normally hate short-form videos, but I find yours hilarious. Would really love more long-form videos from you! This Q&A was really awesome. Thank you for sharing your plant knowledge and being really vulnerable and candid about the personal things.
    Wishing you the best in your healing. I lost a loved one in 2021 and it was such a dark time. I’m glad you’re taking care of yourself and continue to through grief therapy!
    Keep the great content coming - and excited to see what 2024 has in store for you!

    All we need to know is a question youve already answered... He IS a good man. You wouldn't look like you wanna smile and cry so hard everytime you talk about him if it werent true. You're making him proud, and you aren't going through life alone, i promise. None of us really are ❤ ive never commented on anything you've put up, i just watch. But i felt rhe overwhelming need to communicate this to you. Youre awesome girl 😎❤

    Thank you for responding about my friend's grandmother's plant. Neither she nor I know what it was. However she plans to take your advice about choosing a medium, probably perlite, and seeing if she can bring that baby back. ❤

    I have always wanted a fiddle leaf fig but was always scared to try it out because of what other people usually say.. But then I bought a super small one from the grocery store for $7 and put it in an East window, and it has been steadily growing ever since! I water it pretty much once a week. I think it's just easier to start from a baby one! 🌿🪴💚

    They have a bunch of decorative aloe plants planted around the buildings on a Hawaiian beach we frequent, they get DIRECT sun most of the day, they all have red ish purple sunkissed tips, so it can happen, but if you want it in direct sun beware and transition SLOWLY I think.
