This might seem strange but I usually go to Dollar tree for pool noodles (which I know are not expensive anyway) but the ones from there are a little less dense. I cut them into circles and use them for plant propagations, so they don't sink down into larger vessels of water.
I use pool noodles to protect my rose standards from freezing temperatures. I slit it and wrap around trunk. So far I have not lost any rose trees since doing this.
I do the same thing to propagate plants right in our fish aquarium! It works very well for us and doesnt hurt the goldfish or the plant, plus gives the fish a change of scenery because they push around the the noodle circles lol
they also work good to fill the bottoms of a big planter after cutting them in small chunks, that way you don't use so much soil filling up a large pot
I bought the wildflower seed mix last season and they were beautiful. I made a video of it. Also bought lots of different seed packs and they all did well. I have the three tier pots I'll be using this spring. The pruning shears work great but the spring popped out and got lost in the yard. LOL. I keep several handy now. Have a great evening and happy gardening 🌿🌱🍅🍅🍅🌻🌸🌹🌺🌼😊🤗
Hello I’m new in your channel I love plants and I like to go to Lowe’s and rescue plants in clearance all of my plants are from Lowe’s clearance section
At the 17:07 marker I use a couple of those in the refrigerator for extra veggies and thawing purposes, or bags of chicken in them so leaks don't get all over the fridge.
I’m not even a big plant person coz they always seem to die on me which is very disappointing but I love how passionate you are with your plants. I’m also all for saving and dollar tree is my go to. New sub here. Maybe I’ll learn a thing or two on how to care for my future plants.
The colorful hand watering sprinkler that you didn’t like has been great for us. Ours (we bought 3 just in case one broke) all three are still working fine for about four years. We had one that we spent 18 dollars on and it was a mess (thanks Home depo…😡).
I tried those plastic watering spikes and their not bad, I have always used the glass ones for plants that need more water and if I'm on vacation. So far the plastic ones have held up. With all the spikes you just have to make sure they don't get clogged with soil. Thin wooden stakes placed inside help to prevent that.
The compressed soil is literally potting soil that has been dehydrated and pressed into a brick. Once you rehydrate it you end up with about three times or more of the soil compared to what it looks like. I’ve been buying these a LOT because you actually end up paying a lot less for a lot more great quality soil.
@@plantheartbeats My pleasure! I’m an avid gardener (I live in Kansas, so go figure! 🤣) and I’m always looking for things that are effective or that make it easier to care for my jungle. 🤭
Wow! Stores in the Southern CA area where I live have a much bigger planter selection! There are some 10" planters that this year come in brighter colors. I've used them for several years outdoors and they've held up beautifully.
I love those clippers! I bought 2 pair again last week when I saw them. I purchased the small peat pots also because they're great for seed starting. Thanks for sharing! 😊
You are very kind in your review of $tree products. I would only recommend very few items now since most of the good stuff is no longer available. Definitely recommend their note cards, greeting cards, the box of wildflowers and the multipack of starter pots since they can be washed and reused. Sorry... I don't agree with your assessment of their pruners. A cheap pair of scissors from another store is a better deal and can be sharpened, sterilized and kept for years. Maybe you've been lucky, but after 4 pairs falling apart and me fixing them repeatedly...no bueno.
@@plantheartbeats I, also didn't like the shears. They seem to chew the stems off. I'll never use them again on my orchids. I bought a $6.00 pair off Amazon that work great 👍
@@plantheartbeats guess what? Looks like all the good stuff was sent to Key West. 😂 Truly funny to see it. Thanks for the video and sharing all your kind and generous thoughts about what to get at $tree. 👍🏾💚🪴
Question about the scindapcis exotica behind you on the shelf (last part of the video) at home.......is it hard to grow and does it require a lot of light?? I have always loved the look of the plant leaves and I believe it grows slow which I like as well. I have never been to a Dollar store where I live so this was a real treat to see what all they have to offer. This was a great informative video so thank you.......enjoy all your finds!
Thanks!!! The scindapsus exotica it’s been great. For faster growth bright indirect light is recommended but will stroll grow in medium light. All the scindapsus are pretty easy…I love them!
I used the plant and grow tomatoes 🍅 last year and had to divide them up into 5 large 20” pots and had tomatoes all season and actually into November. 👍 The tomatoes are delicious 😋 and really good. They grew to about 4-5” & had 5 that were 6” in diameter. Definitely doing them again this year! 🪴 🪴 🍅 🍅
Yes! Have used it for years ! I do mix it with perlite and cat litter for my succulents, or with perlite for my indoor plants, if the soil looks sketchy just bake it in the oven on 200 for one hour , kills everything ,especially for indoor plants bc we don’t know where the soil comes from . For use outdoors it’s excellent ‼️🪴happy planting Soil Sisters & Brothers 🌱
Use a wood burner or a awl heated up with a stove burner and melt drainage holes. You could also try to poke some through with scissors but be CAREFUL!!
those long rectangular planters are window boxes...they go on your window ledge. i have 2 in my windows. you can always spray paint any planter to the color of your choice, or spray them with stone spray to give them a beautiful neutral texture...what are sennia seeds??? you said you planted some but have not heard of a "sennia???? Coneflowers die but they come back each year...they are echinacea....i bought one of the kits and mine have come back for 3 years now. the rockets have been out for years...the candy jar dish has no holes for oxygen, please do not use this for propagation you have to have holes...in the bottom and top
Hello Diana I’m going to get the canister love the idea and I saw the block like moss before but I dint get it but not bad for 1.25 thank you for taking us to the store ❤❤❤❤
Please, your background music means I cannot hear you, and I have to keep rewinding. No need for the music. Your instructions are what I am here for. Xo
The potting soil is crap. I bought a ton of it a couple of years ago. It’s full of big chunks of wood, seeds, rocks, weeds. I would never use it again. And it is not the weight that it says it is. If you are, I would bake it first and get all the seeds and junk out of it but even then I wouldn’t have it.
In my opinion showing your followers that a product is thick is putting us all on the level of toddlers I would have preferred to have seen a video where I can actually hear your voice and you're showing us how to do something when it comes to planting
Hello ‘ after viewing your video. I when to the nearest dollar tree. And got the goose neck desk lights. They were still in the box. There were 12 in the box. I have been looking for some plant lights that are easy on the eyes. I brought the whole box. I was so excited. I hope you brought some ok 1 or 2. For a $1.25 this is a great buy. If I hadn’t seen your video I would have never seen them or think to find them at the dollar store. Thank you so much. You are a plant mom’s blessing😊

The coco coir liners are good to cut up and put in the bottom of your pots, if you have large drain holes.
Great idea! That’s helpful to many of us! Thanks for sharing!
The small terra cotta pots are great for individual succulent starters...for gifts too!!
Yes! 👍👍👍💚💚💚

Oh great to know the seeds were of good quality! Will have to search for your video!💚
I make ollas with the tiny terracotta pots. Bury it in your pots and fill it up the water leaks out when the plant needs it.
Wow! What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
FYI Coneflowers (Echinacea) really need cold stratification in order to germinate. Not many garden newbs might know that.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!
Didn’t know that Dollar Tree sold such large planters. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching!! 💚💚💚

I don't know why I never thought of going to the Dollar tree to get plant stuff The stools would be a perfect plant stand
Yes! You need to check it out
Thanks SOOO much I love dollar tree and swear by them for plants and screw drivers and tools
I love the scissors , the gloves and definitely the pots , and knee pads

That’s cool! Glad your here! You can definetly learn 💜
I love this video. I live 2 blocks from a dollar tree. Of course, now $1.25 . Still great deals.
Thanks!!! 💚💚💚

For the tomato rocket I seen someone else on CZcams cut it up and use it to make multiple plants and give them a better chance to grow.
Awesome thanks! 💚💚💚
I’ve successfully grown potatoes in their $1.25 laundry baskets.
Great tip! Thanks!
Definitely avoid the hose nozzles. That plastic doesn't do well in the summer heat and direct sun.
Thank u for ur tips i love dollar 💲 tree food sticks for plants
Thanks!!
Thx u!!! I enjoyed!!! Learned a lot abo Dollars Tree 😁😊💕💕
Thank you for watching!! 💚💚💚

Thank you Carrie!! 💚💚💚
Hello from Albuquerque NM...Thanks for sharing the great video of your DT finds. Now I have a good excuse to check out the garden stuff.
Hello!!! Please do! 💚
Just because a container has an attached saucer, does not mean it's self watering.
🫣
Exactly, it just means there is a catch pan for drained water, self watering is completely different.
I love those clippers! I bought 2 pair again last week when I saw them. I purchased the small peat pots also because they're great for seed starting. Thanks for sharing! 😊
Wonderful!
Love this video! Dollar tree shopping videos are my favorite.

Your welcome
Very useful information. TFS
Thank you! 💚💚💚
I had the same drip issues with the plastic water can. It’s a bad design. Ikea makes the same thing and I had trouble with theirs too.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
The gloves with the dots last a lot longer. The others got stiff
Thanks!!!

Opps! I see that store does have those planters.
I bought those they give lots of plants I got over 20plants
Thanks
Go to Michaels for inexpensive terracotta pots.
Good idea! When there on sale there it’s a great price!
Gracias .
Has anyone used the potting soil from DT? Is it any good?
I’m not sure, sorry…
Yes! Have used it for years !

Not the best quality in my opinion.
Is it bad that there are no drainage holes in the triple planters?
Yes… 😞
Use a wood burner or a awl heated up with a stove burner and melt drainage holes. You could also try to poke some through with scissors but be CAREFUL!!

How do you do the holes in the plastic containers? I have tried and they just crack for me.
Have you tried to make the hole with a drill?
Manual corkscrew works great for me, for placing the holes in the planters
@@shannonmills9811 Thanks I will try this!
Use a drill and go very slow with little pressure.
Inexpensive way will be a a screw driver over heat like a stove just remember to have a glass plate nearby to lay the screwdriver down to cool down
In my opinion showing your followers that a product is thick is putting us all on the level of toddlers I would have preferred to have seen a video where I can actually hear your voice and you're showing us how to do something when it comes to planting
Hopefully you will find other videos with better sound quality. I noticed that too.
