People showing their struggling plants and them trying to rehab them back is what has made it feel approachable to have house plants. For ever I thought I couldn’t because I just was bad at it but really I’m just learning and need to keep going and learning and reading again.❤️❤️ I have adored finding your channel and watching your videos.
I have fallen down a rabbit hole of watching your videos the past few days and this one especially resonated with me! The excitedness over any new growth, the real talk about how hard it can be to keep up with ideal plant care (especially when it's a plant you're not super excited about), and the weight that gets lifted when you have the energy to do it, the enjoyment that comes with putting together furniture 😂 I felt very seen. Love your videos, can't wait to watch more!
but benjiplant!! his plants are perfect he’s perfect i recommend his channel for perfect plant content☺️ (and i think it’s reality 🤯) hehe anyways thanks so much for watching elva!!😊🥰💜💜✨
" That's why plants are great! they aren't actually animals they're plants so if you mess up, it's ok!" That's one of the kindest things I've heard.❤ Think about it. Another amazing video! Thanks again Katelyn!! -Bionca
I personally love it when people show their 'struggle plants' or plants that may have issues. It's especially helpful for those of us relatively new to caring for plants, since you also go over reasoning what might be problem. Thank you for that!💚 (p.s.: Hi Phineas!)
My plants are "struggle" plants. They don't like the darkness in my apartment, so they go into struggle mode until I put them outside. I have a covered patio. It faces Northwest, so lots of light without the scalding Arizona sun. I don't have many windows. Three inconvenient windows (well one is good, but it is near a walkway, so lots of people go by and I'm pretty reclusive. Struggle.
For the internet box thing with cables, what I did was got a wooden crate from Michael’s and stuffed all the cords and boxes into the box and stood the box up vertically with the “open” side pushed up against the wall as much as it could be. This way there is still airflow and if I need to access anything, I can just gently push the crate away from the wall to access the wifi. Hope this helps! (:
I've been binge-watching your videos for 3straight days already! Am learning a lot about plant care especially indoor plants, coz that's what I'm into nowadays, I'm kinda getting obsessed about these indoor plants already! And videos like this really help a lot! Thanks 😊
Can I just say you and your channel are just so refreshing and fun! Also, after binge watching several of your videos the last couple days, I really LOVE this hair color on you. The others were lovely too, but something about this cut and gorgeous lavender/blue just really fits you. I know I don't know you personally, I know this is not a HAIR channel and you didn't ask my opinion. I just couldn't stop myself.🥰😗
"I just like how this one looks" *Proceeds to twist and zoom plant around the screen* Lol. I'm new here, but love your videos 🥰 And yes, love how u show us even your rough plants and don't pretend to be perfect. Definitely humanizes u and makes u super relatable 😁 Thanks for keeping us entertained and sharing your knowledge..!
I love your honest and up-front-approach with all your plants, very relatable in my opinion. Plus watching how you solve plant problems helps me learn different solutions or scenarios to diagnose/treat my plants :)
Hiii i love how you use “technical terms” like turgor pressure. I am starting my second semester of plant biology and it is veeeerrry cool to see a plant youtuber actually using these words to describe stuff. Have a great day 😊
Hi Jennifer!! So cool you’re studying plant biology!🤩 I love plant science and getting technical so I’m glad you like it 🤓😊💞 Thanks so much for watching!! 💜💜💜✨
Yes I totally agree "Life Happens Sometimes !" No ones plant collection is always perfect that's the Beauty of Nature a Beautiful thing is never perfect ;) ... You did great things look really nice I'm doing the same at home atm too getting things organized in my plant areas it feels so great to get done ! Sending positive planty vibes your way till next time 😁🌱🌿💚
💜golden pothos forever!💜✨ love a nice pothos 🥰 idk why ur comment just made my mind go here but: imagine if all the golden pothos could suddenly communicate with each other and decided to take over the world...we wouldnt even stand a chance 😳 anyways thanks for watching!!😆☺️
I love and ditto your enthusiasm over plants! I have a big sunporch where the majority of my brood lives, but talk about struggle plants!!! When you live in zone 6 western Pennsylvania where pretty much six out of twelve months are cold, dark & dreary, ALL of my plants struggle just to make it thru till the next Spring when I put them out on my porch to get some sun and be reincarnated! So dont be so hard on yourself for having a struggle plant here and there! Love your channeL!
I totally support being truthful about how many hours are in a day! I mean most of us have families, jobs, pets, etc. In a perfect world we'd have endless hours for plant maintenance. But, we can only do our best and you are!!
I also have what I call "The Poopervisor", who is always underfoot and checking out everything I do, especially when boxes are involved. Don't know what I'd do without his supervision. 😉☺️
I was just telling my mom the other day that I really liked your videos because you show your sad plants and not just “pose” and show all you’re pretty plants. And also that you love to share your regular plants just as much as the rare ones!!
I love watching your videos as I settle into the night. You and your plants bring so much comfort and cozy vibes. I don’t always comment, but I’m always watching everything you put out!
I'm quite an orchid lover, especially of Oncidium types so it'll be exciting to see what the flowers look like when they bloom, mystery plants can be pretty exciting. Phals and Paphs have similar light requirements so having them on the floor together should be good, that shelf area seemed like it could be a little dark for Phals. I planted some succulent cuttings into a pot I really like, but I'm still not really happy with how they look. I have a habit of making and re-making succulent arrangements, luckily I've gotten better with caring for them over time. Love the shirt, HunterxHunter is a great anime.
Hi Kaitlyn! I loved watching your beautiful big plants n just all your plants! Your Apt. looked like a greenhouse. Btw, I can see that you're a logical person n use the same in the way your care for them. Amazing! Thanks!
Thanks so much Grene!🥰 And thanks for commenting on me being logical! I majored in analytic philosophy with a focus on formal logic🤓 I’m so glad that you think my thought process translates to plant care and that you enjoy it. Cheers!💜💜💜😁✨
To hide the internet router/cable box - get the velcro style wall hooks and attach to the bottom of one of your upper shelves. It'll be off the floor and the height should help your signal strength as well.
I honestly believe in hiding all my cables. So I run them through my wall. It’s a super easy DIY and such a clean look. It’s takes 10 - 15 minutes. Lots of videos on CZcams. Also I would recommend attaching your box to your wall for a clearer look. Your NetGear router could be upgraded also. I know this model and you would benefit but that’s a suggestion.
Have you ever thought about tinting your windows. Listen I know this sounds a little crazy 😂 but this is a super easy DIY. The difference is amazing and honestly I love the extra bit of privacy. Just fyi I also have one window that I cut about a 3” strip out from the top to allow more direct sunlight on certain plants. Also I save on my electric bill 🙌 truly hope I see this project in the future. Great video!
Thank you Kaitlyn! Another great video. I love these plant chore vids. I also love the plant rescue vids, I learn a lot from them! Everyone likes to show off their healthy plants, and I love seeing those, but I don't learn as much from them as I do with the plant rescue ones. Everyone has dying plants lol. Id love to see another plant subscription series if you're up for it? Thanks mate 👍 👌 🙏 💙 😘
Now, for a plant comment...🤣. I am so glad you show your struggle plants. I have had um...MORE than my share and I really just started growing and collecting in the last 2 years (I'm not counting my gardening when I was a kid). Presently, my WORST? Well, there's more than one.😅. My newly purchased String of Hearts is constantly getting attacked by mealy bug, The tiny String of Turtles (purchased at the same time)planted in the same hanging basket is pretty much DONE though no mealy bug is on it. Apparently it doesn't like something ELSE I'm doing. What's also weird is mealy bug usually only attacks when plants get dried out and this basket is hanging in my central Florida heat/humidity under my porch area where it gets indirect light and I water THOROUGHLY after the top few inches of soil dries. It makes me really sad because I put this pot together in honor of my son. When he was little (he's 15 TODAY) he LOVED turtles, he still does. So I wanted to have a hanging basket with a pattern of Turtles/Hearts eventually.
🌟omg whaaat!! I feel like the fact that anyone other than me is watching my count increase is mind boggling🤯💕 thank you so so much for this level of support I don’t even know what to say!!! Cheers and thanks so much for watching Hanna!!💜💜💜✨ 😭😍😭💜💜🌱✨
Your string of turtles is the nicest one I have ever seen! Love your room and your collection and love and get neglect and hard to reach areas! As my collection keeps growing I more and more need different plant shelves as well...thanks for the inspiration! Yes plant struggles are real and I have had many plant deaths and pests this month of Feb....so it was a hard plant care month and lots of what you are doing in your home...but come spring you will already be ahead! P.S. I am going to try the nice pot for plants I tend to push aside....arrowhead vines keep buying but dont do much with them either...so I am going to try this trick for sure! Since a pink syngonium was what started my collection over 20 yrs ago! Still have it!
Justina, thanks so much for watching!💜💜💜✨ I’m so glad this video was helpful for you 😊 we can revive our pink syngoniums together💞 thanks so much for the compliment on my string of turtles too! cheers!🥰
I love your plant collection. I admire how you manage to fit all those plants in an apartment :) I also like the way you explain things about your plants. Looking forward to many more videos. Hugs from Romania 🤗
Love the shelf re-do. Your Hoya linieras is the prettiest I have seen in a long time. Love it. Can't wait to see the multi-syngonium update. I lost a pink illusion with the leaves that would not unfurl. Hope you have better skill than I do.
I’m sorry about your pink illusion! I tried unfurling one of the leaves on mine last night and my mind is blown to find that it actually looks okay! I’m gonna open up the other leaves too and see what happens with them and will include that in an update too. Thanks so much for watching Dawn!!🥰💜💜💜✨
Orchids: 1. Phals need more light than Paphs do. Neither wants direct sun, but the phal will appreciate light just a little brighter than the paph. 2. Just a heads up so you don't panic, the older fan of the paph will die off as it is consumed by the plant to boost the growth of the new fan. Don't freak out when it starts to happen. The old fan will start to yellow and consume leaves from the bottom up, as the nutrients are absorbed into the new fan. 3. Minimal fertilizers on the paph. Their roots are very sensitive to salts building up in their media.
That ficus triangularis is so cool--talk about a statement! And I love your big obovata--it inspired me to buy one from a local BST group. I completely agree that "easy to access" is an important part of plant care. I have noticed that I neglect my hard-to-get-to plants, and that I have more and more of those as my collection grows. I need to find a solution for watering and inspecting everything consistently. Your Syngoniums look much better hanging out together 👍
Your “internet plant”/wireless router just needs a longer ethernet cable. The cable needs to be long enough to still connect to your modem (device attached to your wall). This should allow you to relocate your router to a better spot in your house.
I look forward to your videos!! Thank you for being so absolutely real! Also I'm down for repot 22! I'm really trying to steer away from just buying them and start focusing on actually taking care of them! Keep the great content coming!
I think the plants with crumply and deformed young leaves 🍃 could suffer from a boron deficiency. Usually this deficiency is related to some sort of calcium problems showing up as well. Both nutrients are mostly immobile in the plant, meaning that the plant cannot redistribute these elements from older leaves to the new growth, hence the defects occuring on young leaves. Instead B and Ca travel with the water from the roots to the new growth. So, as water molecules mostly enter the root when other water molecules leave the plant through the leaves transpiration during photosynthesis, higher humidity is even counterproductive. Air movement helps the plant to transpire, moving the water vapor away from the leaves. My plants had similar problems until I installed some fans. The airflow does not need to be at a super breezy level, just a constant movement is enough. Oh, and of course, a plant can‘t uptake what is not present in the substrate. Are you using a Cal/Mag supplemental and a fertilizer with B? Foliage application can be taken into consideration to quickly correct acute shortage.
This is a very inspiring video! I loved learning and seeing plant projects I action! I've been combining plants in pots lately too. I try to combine complementary root systems because plants have friends inn nature. For example I added a vine with really ropey roots to my avocado because he was tippy and unstable. It's another plan adventure!
I love that you show your struggle plants! It’s more relatable and educational to me. I don’t doubt that you know what you’re “supposed” to do. Regarding your desire to group plants and in a previous video, you shared that you dislike the thought of moss poles for various reasons, I want to do the same. Could you suggest a companion plant for pothos so the pothos can climb that instead of climbing a moss pole? I saw a pothos potted with a dracaena mass cane in a store once but I don’t like the look of dracaenas and I don’t know what other tall plants have the same water and light needs/tolerance as pothos. I love the idea of grouping plants that may have a symbiotic relationship/dual purpose.
we’re so on the same page, Ive been thinking about tree poles too 😆 maybe a money tree? like one of those really fat tall stump ones 🤔 although.....since that video where I hate on moss poles, i’ve added more wood stakes and a moss pole or two into my collection and am finding that I really like how much my plants like them and i may be coming around to moss poles😅 i’m going to be doing more companion planting this year so I will certainly be talking about this topic too. thanks for another great question!😊💜✨
I like your channel, you have a lot of positive energy 💚. Having problems with plants is part of this hobby. Sadly today I had to trow away my three plants. Two of them I killed by draing out the soil🤦♀️. Third was infected by fungi and I had enough of treating it. 😐
ahh yes sometimes once a plant develops certain problems the best solution is to simply get a new one or a different one 😊 sorry you had to get rid of some plants, I hope you find some replacements that are less problematic for you 🙂 thanks so much for watching Marta!💜💜✨
My plant project rn is actually an outdoor greenhouse (: Well it’s a temporary project because i’m moving out of my parent’s house soon where I have more plant space BUT it’s been really fun! I have a crystallinum doing good for the first time since I got it lmaoooo Also have some jewel alocasias that are slowly doing better but they’re tedious as hell And some of my brother’s plant are inside there doing a lot better (: I’m considering an Ikea greenhouse for when I get my new place! So i’m excited to figure that out!! Also I feel like I have a whole section of struggling plants as well so you’re all good haha thank you for showing us! Your collection is really lovely (:
Daniel..........to say i’m SO jealous would be an enormous understatement🤩🤩🤩 that is so cool you’re working on a greenhouse!! Im so happy for you and your humidity loving plants 😊🌟what a fantastic project, thanks so much for sharing 🥰💜💜💜✨
"relatable" 😂 25:48 Hey, I was watching last night that past video and was literally saying what you mention, I guess many felt like me, which is good, about people showing their plants that are doing poorly and getting better The plant looks nice in that new pot, and it will be fine! What I'm doing right now is being fascinated that my Clivia is flowering for the first time! I rescued it from a sale shelf, was all sad and messed up with a broken pot, so, I couldn't help myself and brought it home It's going to be hard transporting it when we move, but, it's looking better! :D Thanks for the happy video!
I have those same shelves! Still available on Amazon Canada if any 🇨🇦 are interested: ‘VASAGLE 5-Tier Storage Rack, Extendable Storage Shelf, Plant Stand with Adjustable Shelf’
Thanks for the suggestion Nick! I already have 2 lolol...i think it’s my concrete walls, they are in a constant boss battle with the internet signals 😤 hahah thanks so much for watching 🥰💜💜✨
Wow such an amazing collection! Your philodendron jungle boogie is stunning! I would love to know all your care tips🥰 mine is currently now doing all that great!😭
Hi Kaitlyn, very nice plants you got there. I am in love with your Hoyas. My Australis is struggling and I will have to report it soon. Yours seems thriving and since you just repotted it, what kind of medium did you use for her if do not mind me asking? Thank you
They’re all looking great! I have a couple that are acting weird - I don’t know what they want. Yellow leaves no matter how often, or not often I water them… I don’t have any Antherium, but yours is really cool looking!! My Hoya Retusa is confusing me too because I know not to remove the flowers but when I picked it up to bring it to the sink, (I take most of my plants to the sink to water them) it dropped the dead flowers off. One came back and flowered again and now that one is gone too. Does that mean that it lost the peduncles? It was just so weird - I picked up the pot and the dried up flowers just dropped to the floor! Anyway, I thought I’d ask. I’ll check out your Amazon store!!! Thank you for sharing!! 💜💚🪴🌵 Editing to add that I ordered your cactus socks AND, they have my dogs socks, so I had to get them too!!! (Boston Terriers) So cute!! 🥰
Sharon you’re so wonderful 🥰 I really hope you enjoy the socks! I love that you have a boston terrier, sending ur dog love and belly rubs from here😍🐾💞 For the retusa, I lost some of the blooms on mine too- I think that may be something that happens when the plant gets a little too dry. i’ve been trying to water my hoyas more when I see that they’re flowering instead of letting the soil stay dry for a few days between waterings like I normally do with them. I think the peduncle usually doesn’t fall off, just the flowers but I’m not completely sure. Thanks so much for watching and supporting and sharing with me Sharon!! Cheers!!!💜💜💜😊🌟✨
You have a Beautiful plant collection indeed. Just something that struck me odd! You mentioned you plant sat a plant for a friend and they paid you????? I'm currently plant sitting numerous plants for a friend and not once, was there any mention of a "plant sitting fee"? What sort of friends do you have exactly????
I totally could!! But i don’t for the plants that are really far from the windows, I think they rely on that little bit of sun every day 😊 but thanks for the suggestion!💜 and thanks so much for watching!🥰✨
there is a grumpy old man who lives in my building and has been my neighbor for years, and he has a very old little dog that’s super aggressive towards my dog (and pretty much everyone) and every time we see each other he says “my dog doesn’t like your cat” with a totally straight/mean face 😂😂😂 hahaha anyways thanks for watching!🥰💜✨🐾😸
My boyfriend would be making a video on electrical engineer CZcams asking if anyone has a good solution for your girlfriends annoying plants that she keeps putting in front of the router🤦

Love these shelves and all the beautiful plants. Killua and Gon are my fav tho!! Can’t wait to surf your shop.
who else liked the video as soon as the puppy jumped into the box?
I'm obsessed with that ficus triangularis. Wish I had more room for plants! Hi from Oakland!!
Thank you for the joy you exude while playing with plants ☺️
This genuinely felt like being at a friends house and them showing their own plant collection.
I love watching your videos as I settle into the night. You and your plants bring so much comfort and cozy vibes.

I honestly believe in hiding all my cables. So I run them through my wall. It’s a super easy DIY and such a clean look. It’s takes 10 - 15 minutes. Lots of videos on CZcams.

Too cute when your dog jumped in the box 📦 💕. New subscriber very nice collection.
Hello, happy to be on board, love your 'chattiness'. We think alike.
yay thanks so much for saying that!💞😅😊😊 cheers! thanks for watching 🥰💜✨
Your Amazon shop is AWESOME! theres so many things ! i love it!
Have you ever thought about tinting your windows. Listen I know this sounds a little crazy 😂 but this is a super easy DIY. The difference is amazing and honestly I love the extra bit of privacy. Just fyi I also have one window that I cut about a 3” strip out from the top to allow more direct sunlight on certain plants. Also I save on my electric bill 🙌 truly hope I see this project in the future. Great video!

Hang A Roll of Screen like the stuff you have on a Screen window.Get a Roll of it and use it as a Curtain, keep the plants from Burning 🔥.

Love the plant chore vids!
Just been binging your videos for 3 days and watching your subscribers count go up has made me so happy. Your collection is amazing!
🌟omg whaaat!! I feel like the fact that anyone other than me is watching my count increase is mind boggling🤯💕 thank you so so much for this level of support I don’t even know what to say!!! Cheers and thanks so much for watching Hanna!!💜💜💜✨ 😭😍😭💜💜🌱✨
Your Hoyas are what dreams are made of.
thank you Wendy!!🥰💜✨

I love your space!
Your string of turtles is the nicest one I have ever seen! Love your room and your collection and love and get neglect and hard to reach areas! As my collection keeps growing I more and more need different plant shelves as well...thanks for the inspiration! Yes plant struggles are real and I have had many plant deaths and pests this month of Feb....so it was a hard plant care month and lots of what you are doing in your home...but come spring you will already be ahead! P.S. I am going to try the nice pot for plants I tend to push aside....arrowhead vines keep buying but dont do much with them either...so I am going to try this trick for sure! Since a pink syngonium was what started my collection over 20 yrs ago! Still have it!
Justina, thanks so much for watching!💜💜💜✨ I’m so glad this video was helpful for you 😊 we can revive our pink syngoniums together💞 thanks so much for the compliment on my string of turtles too! cheers!🥰
I love your plant collection. I admire how you manage to fit all those plants in an apartment :) I also like the way you explain things about your plants. Looking forward to many more videos. Hugs from Romania 🤗
Great plant styling, Your Ficus, Linearis and Raph Tetra are goals!!! and yes your syngonium pot does look great 😊
thanks so much Aggie!!🥰 Cheers!💜💜💜✨😁
Love the shelf re-do. Your Hoya linieras is the prettiest I have seen in a long time. Love it. Can't wait to see the multi-syngonium update. I lost a pink illusion with the leaves that would not unfurl. Hope you have better skill than I do.
I’m sorry about your pink illusion! I tried unfurling one of the leaves on mine last night and my mind is blown to find that it actually looks okay! I’m gonna open up the other leaves too and see what happens with them and will include that in an update too. Thanks so much for watching Dawn!!🥰💜💜💜✨
Orchids:
1. Phals need more light than Paphs do. Neither wants direct sun, but the phal will appreciate light just a little brighter than the paph.
2. Just a heads up so you don't panic, the older fan of the paph will die off as it is consumed by the plant to boost the growth of the new fan. Don't freak out when it starts to happen. The old fan will start to yellow and consume leaves from the bottom up, as the nutrients are absorbed into the new fan.
3. Minimal fertilizers on the paph. Their roots are very sensitive to salts building up in their media.
Thanks so much for the tips and the reassurance! I really appreciate it 😁💜✨ I’m gonna ease up on fertilizing the paph. thanks for watching!!!🥰
Love these plant chore vids they motivate me and keep me company while I’m doing plant chores too 🤪🪴 thank you!
@3:57 Did everyones mom have a schefflera when we were kids that just hung around for decades? 😂 I have the plant my mom got in 1994
That ficus triangularis is so cool--talk about a statement! And I love your big obovata--it inspired me to buy one from a local BST group. I completely agree that "easy to access" is an important part of plant care. I have noticed that I neglect my hard-to-get-to plants, and that I have more and more of those as my collection grows. I need to find a solution for watering and inspecting everything consistently. Your Syngoniums look much better hanging out together 👍
Awwww that beautiful dog 🐕 so cute and I love ur plant's 💗 💖 💓
Thank you Janie! 🥰😊🐾💜✨
Oh your space looks fabulous. Those syngonium will bounce right back. My experience all they really need is a repot and each time mine just explode.
Love this!!
When i think i have way too many plants i just watch ur video and think i could cram some more😂 love ur videos💚
🥴uh oh I’m a plant hoarding enabler!!😅😂 lolol thanks so much for watching Mar Mar!🥰💜💜💜 happy cramming 😆💞
Your “internet plant”/wireless router just needs a longer ethernet cable. The cable needs to be long enough to still connect to your modem (device attached to your wall). This should allow you to relocate your router to a better spot in your house.
thanks so much for the tip Dean! 🥰 and thanks for watching!!😁💜✨
I look forward to your videos!! Thank you for being so absolutely real!
Also I'm down for repot 22! I'm really trying to steer away from just buying them and start focusing on actually taking care of them!
Keep the great content coming!
I think the plants with crumply and deformed young leaves 🍃 could suffer from a boron deficiency. Usually this deficiency is related to some sort of calcium problems showing up as well. Both nutrients are mostly immobile in the plant, meaning that the plant cannot redistribute these elements from older leaves to the new growth, hence the defects occuring on young leaves. Instead B and Ca travel with the water from the roots to the new growth. So, as water molecules mostly enter the root when other water molecules leave the plant through the leaves transpiration during photosynthesis, higher humidity is even counterproductive. Air movement helps the plant to transpire, moving the water vapor away from the leaves.
My plants had similar problems until I installed some fans. The airflow does not need to be at a super breezy level, just a constant movement is enough.
Oh, and of course, a plant can‘t uptake what is not present in the substrate. Are you using a Cal/Mag supplemental and a fertilizer with B? Foliage application can be taken into consideration to quickly correct acute shortage.
This is a very inspiring video! I loved learning and seeing plant projects I action! I've been combining plants in pots lately too. I try to combine complementary root systems because plants have friends inn nature. For example I added a vine with really ropey roots to my avocado because he was tippy and unstable. It's another plan adventure!
I love that you show your struggle plants! It’s more relatable and educational to me. I don’t doubt that you know what you’re “supposed” to do. Regarding your desire to group plants and in a previous video, you shared that you dislike the thought of moss poles for various reasons, I want to do the same. Could you suggest a companion plant for pothos so the pothos can climb that instead of climbing a moss pole? I saw a pothos potted with a dracaena mass cane in a store once but I don’t like the look of dracaenas and I don’t know what other tall plants have the same water and light needs/tolerance as pothos. I love the idea of grouping plants that may have a symbiotic relationship/dual purpose.
we’re so on the same page, Ive been thinking about tree poles too 😆 maybe a money tree? like one of those really fat tall stump ones 🤔 although.....since that video where I hate on moss poles, i’ve added more wood stakes and a moss pole or two into my collection and am finding that I really like how much my plants like them and i may be coming around to moss poles😅
i’m going to be doing more companion planting this year so I will certainly be talking about this topic too. thanks for another great question!😊💜✨
Love your videos!! Try a sheer curtain to stop your plants from burning! :)
I love your content..
I like your channel, you have a lot of positive energy 💚. Having problems with plants is part of this hobby. Sadly today I had to trow away my three plants. Two of them I killed by draing out the soil🤦♀️. Third was infected by fungi and I had enough of treating it. 😐
ahh yes sometimes once a plant develops certain problems the best solution is to simply get a new one or a different one 😊 sorry you had to get rid of some plants, I hope you find some replacements that are less problematic for you 🙂 thanks so much for watching Marta!💜💜✨
love ur hoyas
My plant project rn is actually an outdoor greenhouse (:
Well it’s a temporary project because i’m moving out of my parent’s house soon where I have more plant space
BUT it’s been really fun! I have a crystallinum doing good for the first time since I got it lmaoooo
Also have some jewel alocasias that are slowly doing better but they’re tedious as hell
And some of my brother’s plant are inside there doing a lot better (:
I’m considering an Ikea greenhouse for when I get my new place! So i’m excited to figure that out!!
Also I feel like I have a whole section of struggling plants as well so you’re all good haha thank you for showing us! Your collection is really lovely (:
Daniel..........to say i’m SO jealous would be an enormous understatement🤩🤩🤩 that is so cool you’re working on a greenhouse!! Im so happy for you and your humidity loving plants 😊🌟what a fantastic project, thanks so much for sharing 🥰💜💜💜✨
Yes! Another RBP video!!! I don't like it- I love it!🙂
i love that you call it RBP 😍✨✨ thanks so much Codie!!! cheers!💜💜💜✨
"relatable" 😂 25:48
Hey, I was watching last night that past video and was literally saying what you mention, I guess many felt like me, which is good, about people showing their plants that are doing poorly and getting better
The plant looks nice in that new pot, and it will be fine!
What I'm doing right now is being fascinated that my Clivia is flowering for the first time! I rescued it from a sale shelf, was all sad and messed up with a broken pot, so, I couldn't help myself and brought it home
It's going to be hard transporting it when we move, but, it's looking better! :D Thanks for the happy video!
💐
I have those same shelves! Still available on Amazon Canada if any 🇨🇦 are interested: ‘VASAGLE 5-Tier Storage Rack, Extendable Storage Shelf, Plant Stand with Adjustable Shelf’
Hey there, love your channel :) you can get a signal booster for the router “internet plant.” They're relatively cheap on Amazon.
Thanks for the suggestion Nick! I already have 2 lolol...i think it’s my concrete walls, they are in a constant boss battle with the internet signals 😤 hahah thanks so much for watching 🥰💜💜✨
Yay first comment 🥰🥰🥰
🌟🥳💜✨ hooray thanks Danika!!!🥰
Wow such an amazing collection! Your philodendron jungle boogie is stunning! I would love to know all your care tips🥰 mine is currently now doing all that great!😭
I’m unfortunately having to do this today and dreading it.
I put my router in a wicker or fabric basket.
Hi Kaitlyn, very nice plants you got there. I am in love with your Hoyas. My Australis is struggling and I will have to report it soon. Yours seems thriving and since you just repotted it, what kind of medium did you use for her if do not mind me asking?
Thank you
💚💚🌿
They’re all looking great! I have a couple that are acting weird - I don’t know what they want. Yellow leaves no matter how often, or not often I water them… I don’t have any Antherium, but yours is really cool looking!!
My Hoya Retusa is confusing me too because I know not to remove the flowers but when I picked it up to bring it to the sink, (I take most of my plants to the sink to water them) it dropped the dead flowers off. One came back and flowered again and now that one is gone too. Does that mean that it lost the peduncles? It was just so weird - I picked up the pot and the dried up flowers just dropped to the floor!
Anyway, I thought I’d ask.
I’ll check out your Amazon store!!!
Thank you for sharing!! 💜💚🪴🌵
Editing to add that I ordered your cactus socks AND, they have my dogs socks, so I had to get them too!!! (Boston Terriers) So cute!! 🥰
Sharon you’re so wonderful 🥰 I really hope you enjoy the socks! I love that you have a boston terrier, sending ur dog love and belly rubs from here😍🐾💞
For the retusa, I lost some of the blooms on mine too- I think that may be something that happens when the plant gets a little too dry. i’ve been trying to water my hoyas more when I see that they’re flowering instead of letting the soil stay dry for a few days between waterings like I normally do with them. I think the peduncle usually doesn’t fall off, just the flowers but I’m not completely sure. Thanks so much for watching and supporting and sharing with me Sharon!! Cheers!!!💜💜💜😊🌟✨

I’ve been chopping allot of plants I now have a few hundred nodes of adansonii 🤦🏻♀️ and only killed one random houseplant and a calathea this week. 😂
I noticed that you don't mix up your own soil like lots of other people. You take it straight from the bag and use it.
Hi! Im new to your channel and I love your plants. Do you fertilize and what brand and kind of soil do you use?
Thanks and good day!
I just killed most of my Syngonium 😂
I've been on the fence about getting an indoor olive tree... have you enjoyed it?
You have a Beautiful plant collection indeed. Just something that struck me odd! You mentioned you plant sat a plant for a friend and they paid you????? I'm currently plant sitting numerous plants for a friend and not once, was there any mention of a "plant sitting fee"? What sort of friends do you have exactly????
are you able to hang up a sheer curtain to diffuse the light in your apartment?
I totally could!! But i don’t for the plants that are really far from the windows, I think they rely on that little bit of sun every day 😊 but thanks for the suggestion!💜 and thanks so much for watching!🥰✨
l put up sheers
maan i wish i had light
boo to instagram plants, im real hah
Thats a strange cat you have there
there is a grumpy old man who lives in my building and has been my neighbor for years, and he has a very old little dog that’s super aggressive towards my dog (and pretty much everyone) and every time we see each other he says “my dog doesn’t like your cat” with a totally straight/mean face 😂😂😂
hahaha anyways thanks for watching!🥰💜✨🐾😸
@@reallybigplant the fact that the little munchkin loves boxes makes me believe that he may actually be a cat
My boyfriend would be making a video on electrical engineer CZcams asking if anyone has a good solution for your girlfriends annoying plants that she keeps putting in front of the router🤦
you should mail me all your plants then you cannot take care of I'm just now starting to do plants I just was put on disability
