Erika your excitement exudes through the screen, congratulations on all your new plants. That last one was just awesome, I would have some kind of a wick set up so it won’t dry out.
I’m new to plant parenthood and you inspire me! I’ve been learning so much from you! Thank you for being so authentic, and the joy and love for your plants is so remarkable! ❤
@@ErikaLodes I digress in saying… Can you believe after all these years I couldn’t keep plants because of pesky fungus gnats! But now that it’s been tested and true that doing two things together eliminates the problem #1- Do 2 watering cycles (even though results are almost immediate after one time, two waterings will ensure complete elimination) using “ONLY the liquid” from water soaked in Mosquito Bits to kill the eggs/larvae. I mix 4 TBSP of the bits per gallon of water for 30 mins because I’m impatient- lol. Do NOT put any of the bits in the soil. . . and #2- leave sticky traps around your plants to catch the remaining adult flying gnats. Now that I solved my issue, like you said I can grow my new jungle (finally) and get inspired by watching your videos! Your joy and enthusiasm is so palpable and visceral!!! Thank you for sharing your plant parenthood journey! ❤️ And girl, I rarely if ever leave a comment anywhere- just know I felt compelled by your videos to do so. Can’t wait to see your update on this new haul! Fingers crossed!
Yeeees girl! I was there too and I also FINALLY picked up my plants that I bought back in July 🤣🤣 there were some casualties BUT that’s okay! I hope your green gurlies thrive once they’ve acclimated 🥹
Im always smiling so hard watching your hauls , love seeing someone who gets as excited as me when getting new plants🤭 Those prices are sooo crazy cheap lucky lucky you , goodluck 😩😩😩
Your excitement is absolutely contagious 😅; I felt anxiety as you were opening every plant every plant looks stunning, healthy and happy! Those are some beefy stems! Hope they thrive 💚
I got imports from an orchid show in San Diego. I got the choco red and it was pretty floppy too. I followed Kaylee Ellen’s advise for importing rehab CZcams video. I left them in water for 48 hours and they all perked up and didn’t drop leaves😊
I loove hauls! It's getting into Orchid-shipping season, too! All the new stock is coming in because it's finally cool enough to ship them! They typically ship Orchids in the fall/spring where I live. I'm like an Orchid show "groupie", following them all around the place this summer! :)
And I thought I loved plants! So wonderful to see your passion. I would love to watch you care for your plants like all day, every day!! ❤️ I hope I find an absolutely gorgeous, plant loving woman like you one day!!
I can't even explain how excited I am for you. Seriously if it was not 3:am my neighbor would definitely hear my reaction when you gave prices. Other than the obliqua, everything you unwrapped is definitely on my #PlantyWishList Even the Hoya w the unique AF leaves ♥️🌱♥️🌱♥️
I've not been able to check yet because I watched CZcams on my Roku tv. Just in case, is there a link or full name of where you made this amazing plant purchase? I can't get over the sizes of each plant w amazing price to be getting them. 🌱♥️🌱♥️
Fun shopping spree. Dumpster diving today I got some type of a Monstera and wasn't sure what to do with it & the moss pole it was on. I put the some roots in water & planted some in soil too with moss pole and put some cuttings in water to see if they'll root.
I am so glad you got that Elizabeth Ann Buckley orchid! Mine just started a bloom. That is one you must be patient with but when it does bloom it is just like wow that thing doesn't look real! Lovely haul! I am going to one of those orchid shows soon and I might have to wear a blind fold when I walk past ecuagenera (I'm not going to buy anything! I am not going to buy anything!) hehe
I also ordered two queen anthuriums from ecuagenera (just to be sure At least one survived). They thrive! I propagated way too fast but the cuttings survived and are putting out new leaves and the motherplant had begun on the new leave as well, within 2.5 months! Beautiful plant, very easy for me🤷🏼♀️
Amazing plants, especially the huperzia! Love huperzia! Careful to keep the roots alive, they can take like 2 years to root when u propagate, and the roots grow from the tip then and never where you cut it. Good luck ❤
@@ErikaLodes it really is. But mine all do really well in normal room temperature and humidity, even over the cold German winter months where the air gets a bit dry from heating, so that's one really good thing
I was also there, it was so much fun You should also try Tropicals-Plants, they were also at the zoo event. They may be a bit more expensive but the acclimation time is shorter. They will both be at the orchid show in October at the Huntington Library 😉
i love that el choco i love philodendrons too, orchis are the one plant i have trouble growing. just checked there site an most of them are more now an the oliqua is only 90
is that a HILO BEAUTY in the bottom right corner!?? if so, your leaves are so big!! I hope to get my leaves that big one day, its only a 6" Hilo so its gonna be a while. love ya girl, keep up the vids
I just for a obliqua toooooo! I can’t believe it!!! I paid 55$ for a rooted leaf! I got it a week ago and I have it acclimating already for a new leaf! I’m so happy! And tomorrow i can’t believe I got a Thai constellation mature rooted Leaf for $100 and a majestic for $50!!!! Ahhh I’m so freaking happy 😊
Hi, Erika! Wondering if you quarantine before you added to your other plants? I feel like it takes so much time, space and effort to quarantine, I would rather put it all together with my other plants right away.
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. May I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
Erika your excitement exudes through the screen, congratulations on all your new plants. That last one was just awesome, I would have some kind of a wick set up so it won’t dry out.
I was going to say the same. A self watering pot
That last one reminded me of the one your boyfriend gave you and you made a few videos on! 🥰 super cute!
Whoever sold you those plants took great care getting them looking great for arrival. Great haul.
I’m new to plant parenthood and you inspire me! I’ve been learning so much from you! Thank you for being so authentic, and the joy and love for your plants is so remarkable! ❤
Yes I’m so glad! Get that indoor jungle growing!!

At first I was like how did you waited that long?! But now seeing the plants it was worth it :)
so happy for you!!

Unfortunately I did not follow that advice 😅 but I hope my moss method will work bc it rlly didn’t have any roots

Wow I will for sure not let it dry out then. That is such a difficult recovery
@@ErikaLodes it really is. But mine all do really well in normal room temperature and humidity, even over the cold German winter months where the air gets a bit dry from heating, so that's one really good thing
Love getting plants from ecuagenera too 😅
I would love to see an update video on this wonderful haul
I think I’m gonna take the plunge and make an Ecuagenera order!!! 🤗
Amazing
I was also there, it was so much fun
You should also try Tropicals-Plants, they were also at the zoo event. They may be a bit more expensive but the acclimation time is shorter. They will both be at the orchid show in October at the Huntington Library 😉
I’ll check them out next month then 😁
I’ve gotten 2 orders from Ecuagenera. I recently bought a Queen and it has been doing good so far 😊
Loved the haul! I will say though, that Sodiroi looks like an aff😊💓
It is 🫠 might end up being a regret but we’ll see lol
Yay!!🙂❤️🌱
“That was wild” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
C💚NGRATULATI💚NS!!! IT Was G💚💚D To See Y💚U And Y💚UR New Plants!!!
i love that el choco i love philodendrons too, orchis are the one plant i have trouble growing. just checked there site an most of them are more now an the oliqua is only 90
Your oblique looks like a caterpillar was munching on it for awhile lol love your vids
is that a HILO BEAUTY in the bottom right corner!?? if so, your leaves are so big!! I hope to get my leaves that big one day, its only a 6" Hilo so its gonna be a while. love ya girl, keep up the vids
Lol if you want crazy prices, come to Australia. That El Choco Red would be $2000+ here.
vetchi is the king you got the queen
I just for a obliqua toooooo! I can’t believe it!!! I paid 55$ for a rooted leaf! I got it a week ago and I have it acclimating already for a new leaf! I’m so happy! And tomorrow i can’t believe I got a Thai constellation mature rooted Leaf for $100 and a majestic for $50!!!! Ahhh I’m so freaking happy 😊
Ahhh look at us! Getting all these new plants!!! So exciting!
Can you do a video on the calathea behind you please? Btw I love your new babies 🎉❤
Nice! I paid 160 for a Queen and within 3cweeks she was inprop box.😪 Best of luck!!
💚💚
Ecuagenera CA will be at the International Orchid Show at the Huntington Library the weekend of October 14-16!
I’m def gonna be there 😎
Hi, Erika! Wondering if you quarantine before you added to your other plants? I feel like it takes so much time, space and effort to quarantine, I would rather put it all together with my other plants right away.
Ya I agree w you. I rarely quarantine unless I actually see a BAD pest problem
I just made my order with them too, and for the same $ amount XD
🌿💖💫
I’m so jealous u have an El Choco red I want one so bad
Hiii ERIKA S!STER, Once more SMILE please. Thank YOU very much.
Hi, unplantparenthood on CZcams has a good video on acclimating imports. Good Luck with them :)
What is the name of the company who sold you the plants? Thanks for the video
interesting
Are you going to their San Diego opening
Wai what!?! Those philodendrons were less than $30!? Im not even done watching it but wtf where !?
Yea my keep dying leaves then growing new leaves
OMG, what's your secret on that Orbifolio!!
You got a queen anthurium from a zoo?!? I want one sooooo bad 😭😭
Where is your shirt from
What zoo did you picked up at? The sodiroi you got it’s an aff not a true sodiroi right?
Hai cantik🥰🥰🥰
Saya pengikut baru anda🥰🥰
someone is selling a giant thai constellation monstera near me and i want it so bad, but I can not justify spending so much money on a plant
Swiss cheese they call it
Are you from Australia¿? Where can I order plants?
I feel like this plant is too good for me. Do you get that vibe as well from this plant?? -Erika Lodes 2022
You're very tall? How tall are you?
nice haul the bulbophyllum Elizabeth Ann will stink your place out . not the most pleasant of smells 😁
Nooo I was worried about that 😭 why they gotta be so stinky! But at least that means I got it to bloom
@@ErikaLodes lol ye you will and it will be worth it believe me 🙂
I got a obl I cua wet sit for 150
Well hopefully it will become a full bushy plant 🤩
I don’t think that’s a Sodiroi... 😣 looks like a Pasta
It’s a sodiroi aff so that’s probably why 😭 I agree it doesn’t look like a full sodiroi
Nice! Your videos should be seen by more watchers. May I repost your channel without changing anything on the clean platform named Ganjing World? Thank you!
6:55 not a Philodendron sodiroi. That’s Philodendron aff sodiroi.
You said you are very tall, very big. I find that hard to believe. You may be tall but big? Nope, I just don’t see that.
How are you a plant youtuber but don’t know the names, common names or even know of these really well known plants? 😂🙈
You need children.
What’s outrageous is the price YOU would pay for your monstera oblique! I just subscribed to your channel, but I’m unsubscribing!
