A MINIMALIST'S Houseplant Home Tour - Ep 200

- Though the coronavirus pandemic has set us back in filming some of our houseplant home tours, we decided to fit another one in, which is "closer to home" so to speak-the minimalist home of my cameraman and creative director of 'Plant One On Me', Sander. I think he shows that you don't have to have many plants to still be a committed plant person.

this was very refreshing! it is nice to see someone whose experience is more "relatable" than the ones shown by serious plant collectors! I love to see huge collections and marvel in the knowledge of the masters, but watching a regular guy, with a more humble number of plants, feels nice and validates us, commoners! haha
Haha, I concur. It's really nice to see plant lovers across a range. Plus it shows that it's not about how many plants you have. No need to feel the pressure of "competition"...you can just love plants and have 1, 2, 3, 4...
Yeah... all dreams of being a minimalist went out the window once I got into plants 😅
It's a slippery slope!
@ Ria, lol lol so true. I've been working on becoming a minimalist for yrs now I'm doing the most with plants. 🌿🍀🌱
I try to use minimalism to allow for more space and financial freedom for plants. Just depends on how you look at it. ;)
@@joeyroldan1658 ooOoOOo I like looking at it that way!
Lol. All of my minimalist ideals apply to everything besides plants. Because more is def better in this one area
An episode all for himself. Well done, Sander
Turning the pot to an angle was brilliant idea...thanks for the tips.
Some amusing plant tips......
Q - “Is this a hanging plant? “
A - Yes, it’s a hanging plant, it’s hanging.”
Q - How can I get light on top of my plants?
A - Tip the pot on it’s side towards the light.
Plant pot tipping.....kinda like cow tipping!?
Saunder is so chill.
“the table is so long, i NEED to have another plant over there” lol he is becoming one of us now slowly but surely 😆
(rubs hands together with evil laugh) ;)
Helping him repot his ficus, and also assessing some of his plants and giving advice made me think of a great idea for the future! Whenever it’s safe to go in people’s homes again, you should do a series where you go to the homes of people who are having trouble with their houseplants and see their plants, assess, diagnose, and help them with any troubleshooting (I.e. pest management, repotting, propagating, watering, placement of plants in home based on light).
"Summer: Plant whisperer" should be the name for those episodes
Yes! I’ve been looking for some kind of “plant consultant” to come by my house and let me know what I’m doing right and what I can improve on. Also help me pick better spots for my plant and help me identify some ☺️ but I don’t know if that service exists lol
Your cameraman is cute and seems like a nice person :) :D
And he is one of the best animators too! :)
I love how encouraging you were to him lol I’m sure he was glad to have you repot the fiddle for him too 😄
When friends come to friends house to repot plants. :)
@@summerrayneoakes my type of life 😂🙌🏾
@@summerrayneoakes yes...real plant lover love to do this kind of thing
I love Saunder’s comment about hanging out with you it would be inevitable that he would be collecting more plants. He has more self control than he thinks. I can’t imagine what I would be like! lol
"Probably take the sticker off"
"Yea"
...puts it back on table lol
Well lots of room there for more, fun video! : )
Clever idea, for tipping pot sideways.👍🏽
All levity aside, though, I have appreciated Saunder’s skills since I started following you, Summer. You are so lucky to be accompanied by him in your adventure.
I'm absolutely blessed. The channel wouldn't be where it is (or so enjoyable to watch and listen to) if it weren't for him. Thanks for saying so. He'll appreciate it to know he's appreciated by the viewers.
@@summerrayneoakes so I hv been wondering whose the cameraman or videographer for all yr videos. Those videos were very good quality & professional. Today I got to see him with plants in his apartment. Haha.
Thanks Summer Rayne, you read my mind & did upload this video 5 days ago.
Btw tell him that he's so cute & innocent. Keep it up!
now
Great to have an episode visiting a non-expert to get some 'house plant doctor' style tips. Lots of stuff came up in this that I've not seen in your other episodes so really appreciated that. Thanks for all the videos from Dan in Kew, London!
You're most welcome Dan. Thanks for watching!
I love this style of relaxed video with two friends who are just really comfortable around each other having a chat. I hope for more like this :3
glad you enjoyed :)
This is one very sweet video!!! Relaxed and cute ♥️
She’s like his plant mom! This was just so wholesome and fun to watch🥰
Are those hanging plants?
Yes they're hanging. 😂
I personally love a minimalist collection! It’s lovely to see all sides of the community. All plant love welcome! 🌿🌿💕💕
I love that you had your camera man share his plants with us. I would have loved to have you come to my house and look at my plants. I think if hung out with you I’d have a million plants, so being a minimalist he’s doing great!
He's definitely more reserved on the houseplant front than I, but before 'Plant One On Me'-he didn't really own any plants! (And we all know what a slippery slope owning a plant is!)
I was always thinking that Summer and the camera man were dating and he was just doing it for fun, but are obviously just good friends.
Keep at it Sander ... You'll get there ... I had a bit of a black thumb when I started to buy plants ... Now, I live in a jungle ... Keep going man !!!
But the video editing, color grading, camera angles ... Cinematic ... You rock !!!
Summer, Sander ... Have a great day, thanks for posting ... ✌️😎
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is such a great tip about tipping the pots
It was so nice to get to know Sander and see what plants he grows. I love the trick of tilting a pot at an angle to get more “top down” light! Definitely going to try that with some of my trailing plants!
Yes, it's truly a genius idea.
That little bambino is getting the best repotting care! He’s so lucky to have summer as a friend 🙂
He should buy moisture meter. It’s cheap and affordable.
Edit: His eye color is sooo beautiful!
You guys were so therapeutic to watch ♡
we love sander!
This is the most down to earth, normal, real life video I have watched in a long time, thank you for posting this, it’s nice to actually see some reality, I love it....and his blue eyes!
I would die happy knowing one of my plants got repoted by summer rayne 😂
A good "plant massage" from a plant masseur perhaps?
He is so cute 🥰❤️
He is indeed.
Agreed he seems so pure 🥺
can't express how much I loved this video :) from seeing the apartment to summer being a cameraman
This was a fun video, and I think it's fitting to devote the 200th episode to the awesome guy behind the cam that makes the amazing shots on the channel possible.
Glad you appreciated it. Yes, I purposely put it as the 200th episode, but didn't really mention it as a milestone, because with the vlogs (which have different numbers) and the 365 Days of Plants, I have tipped the scale to almost 600 videos. Ooof.
Hi Sander thanks for coming in front
Really enjoy when Sander makes an appearance! You guys make a great team. And really appreciated the emphasis on minimalism. Too often, people seem to get into plants because it’s the trend. Which isn’t bad in and of itself because it’s awesome when people discover houseplants as a new hobby! But sometimes it can inadvertently become a new outlet for our already consumerist culture. So it’s meaningful to hear that message here that you can find fulfillment in only a few plants. And I could tell that Sander definitely does! He knew all their new growths and troubles like his babies❣️
Appreciate your take on the episode. I concur. I sense that when my home went viral in 2016, it really inadvertently fueled people's plant buying habits. What is right for me doesn't mean it's for everyone, and everyone should feel the right balance for them-and that could change over the years. I'm happy to highlight folks like Sander who just want "a few".
I've probably watched 100 of your videos and this may be my favorite. Very very sweet.
You two looks like a great couple!
so cool to see sander in front of the camera!! such a cool apartment as well!
We all know when Summer checks on her "friend" its the plants. would not be alive without her, aweseome work Summer
Two spoons... I love this...we need to get him some spoons!
love finally seeing sander and his place with plants. i dunno, i feel like i’d be really nervous to talk about my plants and say something wrong if summer is filming me. 😅
Sander doesn't love being on camera, so coaxing him into the front was a bit more challenging, but I never want to feel as if I'm forcing someone they don't want to do. So thanks for being encouraging to him!
Aww he is so lovely 😊
Sander: "Oh boy, I got two spoons." 😂😂😂😂❤️
this minimalist plant tour is awesome few plants but beautifully placed
It's been almost 6 months since I have visited anyone else's house because of COVID restrictions, so it was really fun to have a tour of Sander's apartment. Thanks team! 💜🌿
By the way, he’s a great cameraman!!!
Yes, exactly. Watching your guys video dont make my head dizzy 😆😆
And I just watching this video! How come? Why I can missed out for watching this one.
But for sure, I like the most with Sander apartement/home. Simply and clean.
No need long time for cleaning.
He just have 2 spoon 🤣🤣🤣
Sorry my English not so well, Im from Indonesia. 😁👋
Sander should invest in a large ponytail palm - I have a grey looking room like Sanders' and I feel like it totally made a difference in that room (for some reason they work really well structurally in grey rooms) . Its also great for people who don't like to water their plants often ( I mean I water mine 4 times a year! )
Nice suggestion!
Really liked this, it's a more realistic depiction of houseplant ownership than some of us with jungles
Looved the idea of tilting the plants for top light. I did it as soon as I saw it. Genius.
Your camera man is stunning!!
So calming!! I also enjoy watching my plants growth these days.
I have some cutting growing and now watching this video I will finally put them in a pot
he's adorable with his questions. cutie. and his eyes!
Turning pots is what I do too. Glad I'm not the only one. 😂
Tilting the pot is a great idea! I will try this! Good job!
Great video! It's cool to finally see the cameraman. ;-) :-D
I like houses full of plants, but i also love the minimalistic. Very nice!
(I can't help it to ask: are you two a couple? :-D You're lovely together. ;-) )
I love his apartment. It’s very restful.
I know no one wants to use chemical insecticides but it takes care of the problem. My new zz had some kind of pest and I sprayed it with insecticidal soap. 1 week later I did it again, never saw another bug.
Love the plant doctor/consultant moments - house tours with folks having problems with their plants would be great!
"Is that a plant?"
Hahaha so cute
Every time Saunder makes an appearance on Summer's channel, I feel the community here would be like "Look! It's Saunder again~!
He is such a sweetie!
Yay loved the home tour! 😄
Nice place, great plants and such a handsome young man. I get a very genuine, kind vibe from him.
love this video. It might be my favorite. He is such a innocent plant papa.
wow the moss wall is so cool 😍💚
I loved this video! It was so great to see Saunder's plants and also how you guys interact! It was like a little peak behind the scenes. Saunder is also quite funny - perhaps unintentionally, but definitely funny.
That massage relaxed me 😌
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for entertaining and distracting me. I really like how the dark wall with the hole in it separates the two areas of the flat. It’s such a smart floor plan.
This is such a cute episode! I’ve been inspired to be minimal but I see a window, a plant just attaches to it 😅
Common problem!
so cosy house plant tour!
😊😊😊Hi Sander!!!!
Charming apartment with beautiful plants. The long hanging plants can be pruned at floor level and all the cuttings can be planted in another few pots? Then you can have a green curtain! Just a thought.
I clip the plant vines to the wall using command clear hooks - won't leave any marks on the wall after!
This episode is on top 🎩
Looks like a good plant collection start. I love the starfish sansevieria (sp) and the zz raven plants. The repotting of the fiddle leaf fig was sorely needed. :) The minimal apartment is perfect for many plants. Thank you for the tour, Sander and Summer.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
This is such a wonderful sweet episode. One can see how you are spreading the love for nature and greenery all around you. Sander may have a few plants but he sure is taking good care of them... Cheers to more plants and plant lovers....
Hi, this video was a nice idea ! Also, we get to meet Sander.....
Yay the Fig was saved!! Whew 😊
You are a GREAT MENTOR !!!
Delightful... I watched the whole video... well worth it... Sanders reminds me of an old boyfriend... very nostalgic...
I love Sander and his plant tour :D
What a stroke of genius! Tipping the plant pot toward the light source! I'm passing that one along.
true genius
@@summerrayneoakes I appreciate the ability to take in all the awesomeness of a minimal collection. Fabulous moss wall art.
I loved how excited he was to show his few plants and there was a jungle helping him showcase them holding camera..real cute😊😊 tilting the pot is a great tip BTW.. 👍
I'm new to your channel, I love watching your videos and it inspired me alot. Thank you Summer...♥️from North East India.
The stick in the soil to check the soil moisture is a brilliant idea! Gonna try that.
as a minimalist myself, i really enjoyed this video! thank you for consistently making such great contents! your positive energy and your attitude towards plants & people & and our surroundings really inspire me to be a better person!
Haha I got my black ZZ at same place grocery store put it in my cart so quickly
This is awesome, Sander!🧡🌴
Hey! I have a tip for the terracotta pots water plate to seal them so they don't ruin furniture. All you have to do is take the plate and give it a few coats of PVA glue. This is completely non-toxic, low cost, and easy to source glue (sometimes called school glue - as kids use it in schools) and won't hurt or affect the plant if the water sits in the saucer gets sucked up by it. This simple trick stops the saucer from leaking as it creates a waterproof barrier.
I usually only paint the glue on the inner edge of the saucer - but you could paint the outside too - it may leave a shiny surface on the outside though and then will look different from the pot sitting in it. Up to you with your aesthetic.
I sometimes water down the PVA glue very slightly (e.g. 8 parts PVA to 1 part water) so its easier to paint on, and then leave it to dry and do 1-2 more coats which helps it to soak into the terracotta
Hope that helps!
Those bulbs just leave them slightly exposed to light on top of soil they will grow pretty much all the time into new plant
Hey both of you so sweet.. Its like you teaching him everything about plant..
Omg he's adorable. Loved this.
Think I'm obsessed with the moss wall. They look so good. Any chance of featuring them?
If I ever make my way out to the left coast again...
My boyfriend is a minimalist but... I'm slowly working houseplants into his life. He shall be minimalist no more.
Cracking up AND loving the "tour" with a "newbie" because that's exactly how I am. Refreshingly innocent and goofy (in a great way) episode, lol...
Wow!!!! His plants are better than mine!!!!!
This was so wholesome ❤
Great tip on tipping the pots :-) You've got a nice place Sander, the plants certainly look happy!
Omg i love that idea 8:00
Thank you
