Thanks! I'm keeping my 👁 🧐 open 😊
I used to work in an office with 2 people who used to rescue outdoor plants from supermarket’s bin and plant them in public spaces during the night - I think they rescued this way both plants and sad concrete neighborhoods ❤️
How wonderful
I saw a beautiful ceramic planter loaded with sansevieria/dracaena in the trash outside of a home. I quickly snatched it up before garbage truck arrived. It’s beautiful thriving and I split and shared with my sisters. Love this collaboration. 🇨🇦💚
It's hard to believe people can so easily just throw these things in the bin! I'm so glad you managed to save it! 💚
I'm reading George Monbiot's "Regenesis". The first chapter is all about soil and the myriads of microorganisms that live there. It's absolutely fascinating. Unfortunately not many people are aware of how immensely important those microorganisms are. Most people are also unaware that plants live in symbiosis with both mycelia and bacteria and that they all benefit from that symbiosis.
Thank you for the book recommendation - I'll definitely take a look at that. You're so right about this, I think in the "sell-fast" commercial side of the houseplant market lots of things have been missed, and both buyers (and sellers in a lot of cases) are totally unaware about the correlation between soil health and plant health 💚
@@TheJungleHaven I should probably add that the book is not about houseplants. It's a massively important book though. It's about how our current food production systems are destroying the soil and the world's ecosystems and then it goes on to present solutions for how we can keep feeding humanity without destroying our life support systems. I still haven't got to the solutions part though. But I was absolutely fascinated by the chapter about life in the soil.
Sarah, love your cat and your top is perfect match with her or him!
Rescue plant day is an excellent idea! I wish all plant sellers worldwide would sell a "Rescue Box". As you said, it would make us use our "kindness" towards our plants better and make otherwise unreachable plants more accessible.
Such a great idea! I hope this becomes more popular in the US!
I've got a story of peace lily that I rescued years ago. There was this dead looking peace lily at a local market for $5 and I dunked it in water to give it a much needed drink. Even to this day, the plant is alive and thriving. It has even flowered for me a few times.
Some of my favourite plants are ones I've rescued over the years. I have a spider plant that had been knocked off a window sill and left for a few weeks behind a filing cabinet where I used to work. That plant has been thriving for about 10 years now, and I've given away loads of its babies.
OMGGGGG I've gotten some of my absolute favorite plants from the clearance section at Lowes. My Skindapsis moonlight, Calaethea Mosaica and birds nest fern all came home near death, and they are THRIVING now. It is definitely such a fulfilling experience.
I was given a 5ft Yucca that needed alot love and debugging and I happy walked it home in a cart I borrowed from an elderly woman. I'm proud to say not only has it grown another 2ft but the pothos I planted with it is sizing up beautifully. Let's all normalize rejuvenating the beautiful things nature has created.
Svetlana in Firefly in the Room plant channel does a lot of plant rescues! She finds plants discarded out by garbage bins, or discarded out on walks with her dogs. It’s exciting to see a plant given a second chance at life. Love the idea of these Rescue boxes!!!
I love this idea. I have a lovely Woolworths lady that saves "dead" plants for me to save and they all come back nice & healthy. It's awful to throw out living things. 😢 Well done.
I'm a part of a facebook group titled (rough translation) "garbage truck is coming" and the idea is to give up things you'd otherwise trash. I got loads of plants of it. Not only rescues, sometimes people give up healthy plants because they grew too big, or they simply don't like it anymore. Such a cool idea. Got my monstera that way. I'm also a part of local plant exchange group, and that's another great idea. I got some cool plants in exchange for my excessive cuttings.
Love the idea of rescue boxes and rescue box day!
I love this! I started with houseplants this past summer, now upwards of 100 plants. I always stop at the big box stores and pick the ones that are headed for the trash. I’ve only lost a couple over the past few months. I watch videos on the plants I bring home and learn to care for them. I’m so in love with this hobby.
Hilo wants humidity! Alocasia are hungry, when mine have looked bad I feed them. Tortum is my favorite plant ever and so easy.
Yes to rescue box day! This was really fun to watch and you are both so nice! ... off to order a rescue box now ooooppps! xxxx
I’ve noticed a couple plant shops in my state lately that offer a discounted rehab section. It’s definitely a more common thing to have in rarer plant shops where even their imperfect inventory has quite a bit of value. And plant collectors are also more willing to buy imperfect plants (rehabs, chonks, cuttings, tiny plants) in order to get more affordable plants. I actually recently bought two rehabs that have leaf damage from the cold spell in florida and they were significantly cheaper than you could normally buy the plants for and they have really healthy root systems.
This is exciting! 💚🌿
The greenhouse shop I go to has a “Scratch and Dent” section that we have used to buy rescue plants.
Omg one of my closest friends has like 80% rescue plants. He goes “dumpster diving,” a very gentle version of it anyhow haha. I want to do that around here as well.
I’d love to do that as well!
Hello new subscriber here from Queensland Australia cheers ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🇦🇺🇦🇺
Now you went and started some things, lol. I found one in the US and shared with my plant loving friend. We love a good surprise box, especially full of plants!
This is so cool (still watching) never actually seen Sara's face or herd her speak but I love her plant reels! thanks Claire!
Yes!! Plant rescue day!!!
I will check Sara’s page out to locate options in US to order rescue boxes! So far, my plant rescues have been limited to friends & families!!
My favourite thing about my plant hobby is rescuing plants. Yes for rescue plant day. 🤗🛟🌷
Great video what a lovely lady could listen to you both all day 😊
Wonderful topic. Informative and great insight into another element of the house plant community. Thank you for sharing.
Sarah is so great! I just love following her and the fact that she created the rescue boxes is incredible
I want to get my hands on one of those so bad :)
I ordered 2 rescue boxes from CheyDPlantLady here in the US. The boxes arrive today. I'm so excited to see what I get. Thanks for This video, and I wish more places did this here is the US. I'm lucky cause CheyDPlantLady is here is Washington state where I live, so I'm excited.
I have a nebula and it has done really well in a pon mix. It’s a very thirsty plant but resilient. The Hilo beauty was classified as an alocasia before it’s beautiful but mine didn’t last it constantly got spider mites the leaves are so thin. That tortum is a great size as well. Nice haul!
This needs to come to the US and Canada!
BWH here in Florida has a Hoya Krohniana scented candle and I adore it so much ❤ I work in a greenhouse and we are sometimes given plants that will be tossed to see if we want or save them. It’s one of my favorite things to do
My weirdest, yet favorite, plant is a rescue cactus I have had for twenty years. It had broken off and put up a side-pup. That had grown at least two feet. The combined height was over four feet. The poor thing, I’d never repotted it in all that time. One of my former art students who came to my retirement party told me how to cut off the pup and root it, and now it’s spectacular. I potted the rooted bit in a tall pot, and I keep wondering if it just keeps sighing in relief from the space and comfort of its new life style.
I recently bought a rescue variegated epipremnum for a fiver, and gave it a huge chop. I got loads of wet sticks, and it left me 3 large leaves on the actual plant, which I repotted, and it's looking BEAUTIFUL!!
I watch to see you smile
I loved this chat. Thank you for showing the rescue boxes.
That’s wonderful! I’ve seen so many healthy plants thrown away… Just a couple of days ago at my local big box shop I saw a big cart of orchids that finished flowering, but were completely perfect plants otherwise, getting ready to be trashed. And employees didn’t even let me take them when I asked :(
In most situations employees are not allowed to give them away - it is very sad only.
@@charliebrown9188 I mean, I figured they probably could scan the price tag as if the plant was trashed, but give the plant away without a pot, for example, but no :(
@@ilyachap Ilya, I feel your pain, and I agree... I work at one of these giants that throw away rather than give away, how do you think I ended up with nearly 500 plants? and I can't stop buying... Even for members of staff, giving away is not that simple.
But if you see a plant that clearly looks below standard - and say this to everyone - don't be afraid of asking if there is something to be done about the price, "becuase this plants is..." the worst that can happen is a "no" and if it is a plant that I clearly can see is suffering, I know how low I can go... if I can see that you are genuine, you might get a better bargain than you hope for. (I hope this post doesn't cost me my job 😬😬😬😬😬😬)
@@charliebrown9188 100% this. I just got a couple of pink princesses the other day the same way. They had broken leaves and not much pink so I asked if I could have a discount and the cashier said yes! She was only able to give me 10% off but it still ended up being a savings of $5 which I was quite happy with.
@@kimelizabeth2600 Well done 🙂
I have to agree with everything both of you have said throughout this video. I’m an avid plant rescuer and get so much pleasure from doing it. Thanks for sharing this video with us.
I am anxious and currently at work. Usually your voice and videos calm me down. Thanks for posting!❤️
💚💚💚💚
What a wonderful video with two warm hearted plant ladies! Sarah, I can tell your kitty is a senior. How old is she? Give her extra scratches under the chin from me. :)
Fantastic video Sarah is lovely
Really enjoyed your conversation today. I am guilty of fussing over a plant that shows some signs of unhappiness. A lot of good points made today that I will take with me. Thank you both!
Great topic. I have 2 hibiscus I inherited from my grandfather 19 years ago, he got them from cuttings from a cousin. I also always plant the bulbs I buy in bloom around this time, like narcissus and hyacinths, in the garden. A lot of them come up and bloom again and the rest is compost
I loved this!! Thanks so much for sharing all your tips 😍🥰
So fun and interesting… thanks for introducing her. I’m definitely down on a rescue day.
I was just binge watching your older videos while repotting some plants & then I got the notification for this video & couldn't click fast enough💚
OMG thank you so much for being real about pests and the reality of quarantining new plants when you don't have the luxury of infinite space!
So far I haven't seen any rescue plant type organisations here in Australia the closest we get is when Bunnings marks down plants that have had it.
I love this video ladies so exiting & what beautiful plants.
I’m going to order a rescue box now too. Thank you for making me aware of them xxx
This was very sweet and endearing! Lovely video 😊
What an amazing idea!! And you got such a good box too I’m in love with that Caladium!! 😍💗
This is great! I've heard people just tossing healthy, full, plants cause they got spider mites and " that's icky"! Like treating isn't possible, like it's already dead!
Thank you very much for this video. Lots of good tips
The rescue box is such a brilliant idea. Thank you for this information!
Also, for pests, have a look in to the sulphur hot box. I've been using it for the last 2 months and is absolutely brilliant and all my 400 plants are thriving atm because of it.
I love the idea of rescuing plants and can’t wait to be able to get my hands on a rescue box from grow tropicals. It makes me sad that more people don’t realise that alocasia do go dormant and will throw the corms out, I have 3 small alocasias which have gone dormant 2 have now produced new leaves and one has put out a pup 🥰 the plants you’ve received are absolutely stunning 😊
I got the mystery rehab box from orange lake nursery. $8 for 3 plants. I got 3 tiny but beautiful plants. I remember being so excited all day waiting for the box to come not knowing what was coming. I will 100% order it again just for the excitement alone.
What a great video Claire. I was on Etsy buying one on Sarah’s site halfway through.
Very glad I am able to join you today ❤️
What a great idea to have rescue boxes I love Grow Tropicals and got on their website while I was watching your video but unfortunately they are sold out I would love to be part of a RH wisely group event and will look forward to more news on such an event and what a fantastic guest you had on your channel today Claire I always look forward to watching you xx
Two beautiful vegans sharing love through plants ❤
This is a great idea. I live in Alberta Canada if either of you know where I can get a rescue box here please let me know. This is the first time I’ve heard of this. Thanks and keep up the great work I enjoy your videos and look for them every week 😘
I've been going to Home Depot looking for clearance plants because I've had so much luck finding half decent rescue plants. I got one philodendron warscewiczii for $3 (CAD), and a basket of three perfectly healthy plants for $10 all because they were taking up space/ not selling fast enough.
I love plant rescuer she’s one of my favs on IG
So...that happened to my frydek too:)) otherwise, Hilo is sold in my country as an Alocasia
A bit late to comment maybe. But I got a box in the netherlands and it sparked my love for plants even more. Wanting to order a second one and create my own jungle. 😊 ps: all the plants are doing extremely well, even my hedera (wich I never seemed to be able to keep alive in the past).
Great collab. #plantrescueday 🌱🌱
28:18-28:23: I felt that way at a Big Box store in my area. I stood in front of a sad looking plant, wondering if I should try to get a part time job in the nursery. I did end up having a nice conversation with the one of the garden reps, which led me to believe they hired to have staff-not knowledgeable staff.
I got my holiday cactus from wilko it was 50p. Someone had robbed all the propable cuttings down to one segment on each arm vine things and it flowered that year it is huge now. My antherium was also a wilko job 5 for to 2.50. It had one leaf with a split that was 6 or 7 years ago ita now huge and still beautiful.
I get plants for my garden from the discount parts as mostly all they need is to dry out or a good water.
I don't have loads of money and like to bring them back its so satisfying and I feel accomplished when plants bounce back not that I do anything its the plants will to live.
This is amazing more people need to save plants.
Have fun.
I always search for plants displayed in supermarkets at something I call "death shelves" and I try to rescue them. This is very satisfactory to see them getting better so quickly. I can see that internet shops offer something like "misery boxes" or plants for adoption. That's good idea in my opinion.
Would love to get one myself
Ohmygosh throwing away orchids after they’re done blooming is my NUMBER ONE pet peeve. Like, they’ll still sell…
Really good idea. I always try to save any dying plants rather than throw away and rebuy. It's actually quite satisfying to bring one back, they want to live!!
It sounds a bit tragic but I feel sad for the unhealthy looking plants in shops, thinking it's never going to get chosen, sit there months then get thrown away. If only all stores offered them at a discount, B and Q and Sainsbury's I'm looking at you.
#rescueboxday I'll be looking for rescue boxes in 🇨🇦 Thanks for a great video!
Me too! Let me know if you find something!
@@loribie7113 And vice versa please 🙏 🙂
This was a nice video. I just wanted to suggest a video idea. I've been considering joining your patron but haven't quite convinced myself lol. I know you've talked a little about it but thought maybe you could do a video that goes more in depth about your patron for those of us on the edge about joining. Thanks see ya next time
Love the recue box idea, sadly there was nothing available at grow topicals just now.
I live in FL US, is there a rescue shop close to me?
Sarah's website (linked in description) has all the details of the shops that offer rescue boxes 💚
Hi, love your videos, please 🙏 🙏 can you give me info on go Tropical, many thanks Mark 😊 x
Aww I love this video. I’d love a rescue box but not sure where I can buy 1 local to me.
I get really cross every summer with shops like Aldi & Morrisons when they let all there plants die. I used to buy bottled water & water them myself.
This year I was in b&m & I was devo about all the plants in there not being watered. I asked to see the manager & said why can’t u designate the job of watering the plants to someone once a week but they didn’t care. I even took photos to send to the head office but I didn’t, I felt like a right old moaner but I liken not watering plants to not feeding an animal.
Wow such an amazing sunrise box I’m going to get onto grow tropical right away xxx. Great video 👍💛🌱
I totally agree with this! Even some garden centres don't seem to care for the plants they get in and it drives me crazy. They're definitely seen as "home decor" a lot of the time instead of living things - it's so sad 💚
I have a Angel Wing Cane Begonia that is 30 years old and my sister in law has a Christmas Cactus she’s had for 40 years.
I just one of theses in a fish auction. He’s tiny- not even an inch! I have some bladder snails in the tank but they’re too big for him to eat. I don’t know where to get the other foods you mentioned. Can you direct me in the area of feeding?
I would like help to save my gardiner it’s dropping buds and leaves
I L💚VE A G💚💚D PLANT RESCUE ST💚RY!!! 🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴
I just got a Hilo Beauty! My grocery store had them and I couldn't resist, I've never seen them in person. I think there's confusion if it's an Alocasia or Colocasia, seems like an Alocasia to me. I kinda struggle with alocasias, but it was only $7 so I took a gamble. Wish me luck! It did the one leaf die as the new one grows in thing alocasias do, unless it was just rehoming shock.
Apparently it was previously classified as Alocasia, but has been re-classified as Caladium 💚
@@TheJungleHaven hmm I don't believe they die back as much as a caladium, the growth structure is like an Alocasia. Maybe there's a couple varieties one caladium one alocasia, convergent evolution is a thing. Either way it's gorgeous.
Is there anywhere in Australia offering rescue boxes?
I had zero idea that Caladiums go dormant and just threw a gorgeous one in the trash because every leaf died and I thought the whole plant was dead. :( I feel awful now.
I wonder if this is available in Australia!
I dont have as many plants as you guys but I do have a lot and I dont have many pests maybe I'm just lucky here in SF
Are the black spots on the nebula stems the nectar cells?
Yesterday I bought a snake plant with root rot at a big box store for 1/2 off regular price
The majority of the plants were overwatered
I was asked why I didn’t buy another one at full price
Im like nah. I think this one can still make it. 😅
Wow so wonderful about doing this 🤠🍀❤️ why get fake plant made plastic should band it not good for environment just throw away culture but really like listening it online about this topic thank you Green thums up 💚👍🏼
My Alocasia Nebula is honestly such a trooper and such a fast grower. I hope yours is the same!
Oooh amazing! I do hope so! 💚
For the longest time I thought Sarah was the actress Anna Friel
I want to get it but I dont get it. If I have a plant go down hill I will try to save it to a point but there comes a day that I will just throw it and If I want another I will buy another. Maybe cause I buy a lot of TC babies and I find that some of them are just weak and fail to thrive. When it comes to common plants I just see not reason to save them. There are so many out there why would I want something ugly sitting in my home when I could just buy another for 5 euros and it looks amazing. I suppose if it was something more rare I would put in more effort and really baby it to get it back up and going but for most plants I couldnt be bothered.
And I keep African violets tucked all around the house.First I'm 62and older women like afican violets I think and they bloom all year.
Hi😁
Rescue box day for sure
It's very rare that anyone has a plant that they're throwing out in my area.😞
I've found plants sticking out of bins and skips before, so keep your eyes open. Local facebook groups can also be a great way to discover plants that might be looking for a new home 💚
We just bought a 4 bedroom house so we actually have two bedrooms that are not in use
Oh fantastic - isolation zones all round!

Thrips ruined my collection
