I've learned so much from watching your videos. I really love how you talk about technical plant stuff in easy to understand ways and also I love your nails!!
Thank you so much for watching!! It’s really rewarding to hear that you enjoy my versions of the technical stuff so thanks so much for saying that!! 🥰💜💞🌟💅💜 I hope you have a great planty week!🌿✨✨
It’s a little hard to tell without close ups but rust can be determined by rubbing the “rusty” spots on your leaf. If the orange rust comes off on your hand, it’s likely that it is rust. This orange dust are actually the spores of the rust called “uredinia” which can then infect other plants. PS. rusts tend to be highly host specific so a rust on a philodendron plant likely wont infect a calathea, monstera etc. Source: currently doing research in a rust laboratory for cereal crops 🌾
I'm grateful that you showed how to air layer! So many plant youtubers talk about it but don't show how to do it... Thank you for your plant content because I truly learn new stuff from your channel😊 And your personality is lovely!
I could listen to you talking about science forever. And as soon as I noticed the diagrams in the video preview, I jumped with anticipation - they meant you will be explaining something.🤓I just realized that this is why the soap is important ingredient in the neem oil solution - to increase the stickiness of the mixture!
One tip for identifying rust on plant leaves is seeing if there’s visible spores on the underside of the spots. Though i mostly have experience with rust on roses, it can spread to other plants as far as i’m aware. Chopping off the leaves is the best thing to do to avoid the rust from spreading into the stem, cause if that happens the plant is pretty much gone.
I have a bachelor's degree in physics (circa 2015), and I just want to say thank you for this video--it made so much sense to me (particularly the [lack of] water absorption in dry soil explanation). Also, all of your videos are fantastic.
🌟amazing!!! thank you for this validation as a physicist😊😊😊💜 I really appreciate you saying this!! thanks so much for watching I hope you have a great week 🤗🌿✨💞
It certainly can feel overwhelming and a bit defeating when you have so many plants and the bugs arrive. I'm going through the same thing here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. We love our plants and we shall prevail! Thanks for such an interesting video and for including that little fluffball dog of yours.
sorry you’re dealing with a similar situation but thanks for the pep talk! yes we got this!! 😁💪💜🌟💞✨ thanks so much for watching, best of luck in your pest battles!🌿
Love your chemistry illustrations 😂 I am a chronic under waterer, so I deal with hydrophobic soil now and then. I've wondered whether adding a little bit of soap would help, so this was great to learn! Thanks for another great video 👍
Aww thank you so much!!🥰 you should absolutely start a channel!!!😄✨💜 one of the things I love the most about this hobby is how everyone’s plant journey is different and brings us fulfillment in such a wonderful variety of ways💜🌿 I hope you do decide to start documenting and sharing!✨☺️
Wow i learned so much in this video! It was amazing. I was always worried that the soap in the neem oil solution would hurt the plant (gosh i hate thrips so i feel your pain. Ive had to chop off so many leaves but I'm still hopeful to win this battle). You're the best..keep it up!
It looks like your plants are adjusting to the new house. Do you still have your really tall snake plant that use to live inside the top of your closet?
yes I do! It doesn’t have any new growth and currently lives in my upstairs bathroom (that has a big window) but it’s still doing well! I should show it to you guys in video soon, thanks for asking 🥰💜✨
I love that I get to learn so much from your vids! You’ve inspired me to try caring for different plants! I picked up a baby monstera and am giving it my best shot 😊
ooh it’s so fun to watch the little monsteras grow big, congrats on the new plant!🤩💜🌟 i’m so humbled to hear that I inspired you, and I’m so glad you like learning from my videos!!🥰💞 hope you have a great week Trish! 😊🌿
Thanks for this comment, I appreciate the reassurance that you like my rambles haha 😁💜💞 the triangulari- 2 of 3 have leaves currently 😬 i have been filming little updates that i am compiling 😊 thanks for watching have a great week!💜
I love your videos! I always learn so much the I can go tell people and annoy them🤣 also for the philo you were airlaring, the coco coir poles aren’t great for growing big leaves and most plants actually don’t root in them. I learned the hard way🤣
Love your science bit. Thanks for the detailed info how soap kills insects... gonna go make some to kill springtails I have in my soil pots. Also you think dishsoap is ok instead of castile?
i’m so glad you thought the soap stuff was interesting! 😊💜 Yes dishsoap should be ok too. sometimes dish soaps have a lot of other cleaning agents and fragrance that can build up or be problematic over time but a couple of applications should be ok. in my experience for springtails I have found that repotting and then applying diatomaceous earth on the soil is most effective but its pretty hard to kill the springtail populations…best of luck! thanks for watching Claudia, hope you have a great week! ☺️💞🌿✨
I found one of my alocasias full of spider mites the other night, i didn't have any of my normal bug stuff so i panicked and hosed it off then wiped out with furniture polish 😂 the next day i got some insecticidal soap and sprayed the plants that are around it... It's been about 4 days now and there is no sign of damage from the furniture polish spray and no signs of spider mites in that one either... I'll definitely be giving it another shower though before i do anything else with it 🤷🏼♀️😂
I have some Hoya that did not like a permethrin treatment. I am quite sure it can cause harm to other plants. It causes a short phototoxicity. Cat-owners should not use eight! It lost its permission as a plant protection product in the EU. There is acequinocyl as a miticide against spider mites and flat mites. But if there is a constant pressure of spider mites in your region, maybe beneficial insects could do the job even better?
Hiiii!!! This was so interesting! I have a question about two of my plants based on what you said. My Hoya Obavata is one that I only water about every two to three weeks. Lately, I’ve noticed that the water just goes right through the pot to the bottom and comes out immediately. Should I try adding some soap, or should I go ahead and repot it, which is what I thought I should try and see if that helps? The other is my Alocasia Black Velvet. One leaf has a round yellow spot that was just there one day out of nowhere. I don’t see any pests on the plant, so I’ve just been ignoring it, lol. Should I cut off that leaf???? Thanks so much in advance!! 💜💚🪴🌵
Hi Kaitlyn. I’m Jacquie from Indiana. I have a dumb cane plant. I wonder why the huge leaves are not standing out like yours. They grow quick but they are so huge they hang downward. Any advise
i've never cared about chemistry until now
Same lol I’m taking more notes than I did in actual chem

Thank you :) This was very useful info
Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow thanks for sharing. This was the first time I had even heard about rust on plants!
Non-plant comment: I love HomeGoods!! 😎
You are the cutest science teacher I’ve ever had.
aww thank you so much! 🥰💜 i hope you’re having a great week!🌿💞🤗💜

I love the science lessons regarding planty knowledge and such. Thank you teacher 😘 OneLove ❣️
Thanks for the video!!
thanks for watching Chloe!!🤗💞💜 I hope you and your plants have a great week🌿🌟✨
❤😊
Omgoodness I love science, but I find it hard to learn through theory, the way you explain it I can totally grasp it, thank you for that ❤
Hi!!! Wow i love ur videos! I learn so much thank u for explaining everything so well! Thank u for sharing have an amazing week!💚💚💚💚

I wonder if it is just a bad bug year in Oregon. I am in the Rogue Valley and battling ALL of the bugs atm and I'm going crazy.
I always learn so much watching your videos ❤🎉
the water+soap stuff was interesting and helpful. I make my own soap so I guess I'll use that~
I always enjoy your videos 😊 love 💖 the socks 🧦
I loved chemistry so much. It was the math part that killed me 😂😂
Love your chemistry illustrations 😂 I am a chronic under waterer, so I deal with hydrophobic soil now and then. I've wondered whether adding a little bit of soap would help, so this was great to learn! Thanks for another great video 👍
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!!!💚🪴💚 Sooo interesting!!!
yay you’re welcome!! so glad you liked the video!!! 🥰💜✨🌿
I'm obsessed with your channel lol. I've been considering starting my own channel I currently have around 200 plants in my collection
Aww thank you so much!!🥰 you should absolutely start a channel!!!😄✨💜 one of the things I love the most about this hobby is how everyone’s plant journey is different and brings us fulfillment in such a wonderful variety of ways💜🌿 I hope you do decide to start documenting and sharing!✨☺️
I love your explanations and illustrations
You can always dust a little rooting hormone on those nodes. Glad to see you wearing your protective gear. 😇
I think of your caring comment and remember to mask+ glove up whenever I’ve been spraying, thanks again Sue 🥰💜💜💜
Love 💞 your channel and your cute little doggie 😘😍
Loved the non-planty content as well as the science and planty content. I loved it all! ♥️
I never use pesticides on my plants. I use dawn dish detergent and water. Never have a problem.
works on pests and saves baby ducks!🥰💜✨ I’m glad to hear that works well for you! thanks for watching😁💞🌿

Caitlin, I used the same pesticide for a scale infestation on my Birds of Paradise and no bad effects. It was the only thing that worked.
Glad you’re getting back into the plant GroOovE ❤
I love coming to your channel for a little science lesson!
🐕 I love your gorgeous dog 🐕
I love when you draw out your thought process 😊 . Any updates on your ficus Triangularis?
Thanks for this comment, I appreciate the reassurance that you like my rambles haha 😁💜💞 the triangulari- 2 of 3 have leaves currently 😬 i have been filming little updates that i am compiling 😊 thanks for watching have a great week!💜

FASCINATING! But now I'm going to stop eating tide pods :( Seriously though thank you, I love learning about this stuff!
Pretty nails 💅

I just watched your video on your pink princess philodendrons. I wonder if you still have her?

Did you buy your Dieffenbachia that big?
not me wondering if I can melt my fat away with soap...
don't worry I will not consume soap❤
