    This is pleasant content to watch while doing my own houseplant chores. It's like we are hanging. I miss the craft nights my friends and I used to have before the pandemic. We did fairy gardens once.

    The random monstera is a Laniata. They don't like to dry out, low humidity, too much light or too much feed. Cut and prop those nodes, then put them in leca or an alocasia mix. Super cool plant when mature, don't throw her away!

    omg, I got one of these JUST because you suggested it. And I absolutely love it. And to me, it smells good. I love that it looks like a little mini tree. And yes, I find that it grows like crazy with lots of light and water. I don't really keep it damp all the time, but once it barely dries out, it wants more water. You made the right choice with the white pot, looks great!

    I have a thickish red plastic tray (think it’s still supposed to be disposable) that you take sandwich platters or cookies to events on. You can probably get them online or at Walmart. I had it for years and never used it. Decided to repurpose it as my repotting tray. Works great. Easy to clean and the edge keeps most of the dirt off the counters and floors. I am kind of a mess repotting so there’s always something on the floor to clean up, lol

    I'm the same way, I don't want to trash them if they are dying or just looking yucky. What if I can save it? I've tried that and they still often look like crap, 3 months later. Then someone recently mentioned that life is too short (and living space is often too small) for ugly/dying plants. Well said! I only have so much room and if it's going to look like crap, I'd rather get one that looks great and that I hopefully won't kill again.
