Please do more videos like this. Some of us are lonely and it makes us feel like we have a friend with us during the day ❤
You’re so kind 💚 I definitely will. Thank you!!!
@@PlantswithKrystal it's definitely lovely, I might play this again later while I try to clean my room
I second that. Please and thank you :)
@@PlantswithKrystal Yes, I work from home and don't go anywhere at all. This was very nice. Muchas Gracias 🥰 no me siento tan solita.
Absolutely! The grieving process is brutal, and having a support system is very important. We are here for you. 😊
Krystal, you just make videos the way you want, hon. You're showing the real, day-to-day process. ...of plant care and emotional healing. Love is sometimes a messy, tedious, frustrating yet needful thing, whether it's for plants or people. You just keep doing you. ...and we'll tag along. Praying for you, girl! ❤️
@The rainbow doge , I'm from the south. Hon. 😁
@The rainbow doge In the Southern states in the USA, Hon or Honey is a term of endearment. It’s a good thing. And I totally agree. Krystal you make any kind of video you want. We will be here and root, get it, for you all the way!
You're helping lots of people, with your videos, me included. I'm grieving my husband too, 39 years together, lost him 16 months ago and I am broken. I love plants and have bought a lot in the last few months and because of your videos, most of them are still alive!😊. Keep going, stay strong. ❤
❤️❤️❤️
Im also so sorry for your loss ❤ you should be so proud of yourself for finding a hobby during these times as well. My heart is with you.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Her husband passed ?
@@cathyslaton9998 Yes, last Summer. ❤
Man, came for the plants, staying for the relatability. Sending good vibes- hope you’re well ♥️
I appreciate you! Thank you!!!
I don't own A SINGLE PLANT in my whole home, but I watch you because of you 😊 I love your information, humor, calm voice, and seeing your plants thrive! ❤️ You are awesome.
I love this!
you're not boring. it feels like therapy watching this. feel like listening to a friend
I’m sorry your going through this difficult time. I appreciate you sharing a slow and quiet day though. I’m struggling at the moment as well. It was nice just to accompany you through the “mundane”. Sometimes it’s the mundane that gives us a little reprieve from what is weighing on us. ❤️🩹
🥹💚 that means so much. Keep going love! You can do this.
i love how your puppy is like a cohost like he keeps moving into frame lol
He did not want to move!!!! He wanted to be the star 😂
You know, some people are so comforting when doing absolutely mundane things and talking. You’re definitely one of those people. It feels like hanging out with a friend.
Ive always wanted a carnivorous plant but am definitely intimidated 😅
Hugs to you❤ i wish you success (whatever that is to you,) peace, resilience, and all the good happy wonderful things
I’m horrifically sick and in bed, and Krystal? Your low key energy is perfect today. It’s grounded and comforting, and you don’t need to feel bad for not always operating at a 10. Few people do! Low key hanging out with friends is good, too.
And I like that wall reorg - it’s kind of like shiplap for plants. I’m a fan of hanging propagation bulbs from window….
I could watch videos like this all of the time if u put them out. It’s like hanging with a friend, listening to ya chat about life and plants. What more could ya want? 😊
That’s so kind! Thank you!
I second this. More of these type of videos please 💕
Who wants to see this? I do! Love to see the plants, how to take care of them and I love the talking. It's so calm and real. Keep doing it girl! I'll keep watching! Lots of love
It takes courage to surpass insecurities and filming a vlog about simple things you do day to day and im happy you post those vlogs cause these are what I enjoy ! When you like a content creator it doesn’t matter what they post, you watch them for them ! Hope your having a good week ! 🤍
🥹💚 thank you so so much!!!!! Really! It means a lot
I feel the same. I lost my son, an undetected heart condition at barely 18😱😫😭 I try to stay busy. But I'm glad to be home, then I see him everywhere. I know he wants me to be happy,,
As a new follower, I just wanted to say that I LOVE these videos!! As someone else mentioned, some of us feel lonely. Watching your videos as I'm doing my planty things helps so much more than you know! I appreciate and thank you for your hilarious personality and awesome tips and tricks! Keep making videos, however you feel comfortable ❤
💚 that really means so much. I’m happy to be in this space. Thank you for being here.
You're authentic which is more welcome than "entertaining" sometimes. No one can be "up" all the time. It is a talent to engage in a way that viewers feel like friends just chillin' with you. Keep on keeping it real. We love you. 💜
No idea what you’re going thru in your personal life but this plant community LOVES YOUR CONTENT!
YOU ARE AN AMAZING CREATOR and these long-form videos are wonderful. Keep ‘em coming. Your uploads are always a delight.
You’re so sweet! Thank you so much 💚💚💚💚
Plants above the bed always makes me feel like I'm going to have spiders raining all over me at night. Absolutely agree with the no plants above bed.
It's not boring. I'm happy to take you around my house while I clean. Currently you are making laundry better. Thank you.
Krystal, I wanna take a moment to say thank you. I found your Instagram a while back when I wasn't in a very good place mentally or physically, right around the time that I decluttered my whole home. I took notes from your posts, assembled all the greens that I found, and made it my personal mission to pamper them back into prosperity.
This Friday I was able to pot up the first baby bunch of spiderettes, I saved the mother plant whose roots were completely rotten (she is now growing new ones all over!), my ZZs are finally getting the light they deserve, my completely neglected leggy pothos got cut up and is now rooting left and right, and the kalanchoe that should have crossed the river a solid year ago came back to life in water.
You have given me the push I needed to take better care of my small indoor jungle, and it sparks so much joy in me now, I check every plant each morning and encourage them. And I'm certain I'm not the only one you're helping to heal with your posts. Thank you so much for sharing both your chaotic energy and your personal growth process. It really means a lot. 💚🌱
My heart is always so full when I see messages like these. Thank you so much for being here alongside me throughout my journey as well.
i get so excited when she uploads long videos 😭😭😭💚💚
Thank you love 🥹💚💚💚
Yeah me too...
I completely relate to needing more space. Plants carry feeling and responsibility, which can be tiring if you’re surrounded by it all day. I think your plant room is so genius, you can go in whenever you want and leave the door closed when it’s too much. Grief is complex and invades all facets of our lives. Please take your time and take care of yourself. ❤️ I hope your pain eases soon.
You’re absolutely right! That makes total sense of why I feel that way many times. Thank you so much for being here ❤
I'm cool with chill videos Be kind to yourself. Treat yourself like your favorite plant.
It's okay to have days where you're not always upbeat. Sometimes we have to be sad a little to appreciate more the happy days and the little things in life that make us happy ❤️
I found your channel while looking for plant tips, and stayed for your unique personality and humor, your realness and your passion ❤
That truly means the world! Thank you for being here and staying.
Just facilitated a grief group where folks talked about the grief of coming home when your person isn't there. A different sadness.....
I like the longer content videos. It's like we are friends and just talking over coffee or tea. And your content is very informative.
Some days are bearable and some days are successful, whatever you are having, be the best at it! You are loved beautiful!
Not even sure how I found this channel. I truly believe I’m a great plant mama! Reality is I kill half the plants I bring into my home. Your videos are great and have me laughing and crying. My word! Then I found out a little about your life. I lost my husband when I was very young, it’s been 15 years. My grieving muscles are a lot stronger and are still developing. I love your genuine expression of your emotion. I wish I had your openness a long time ago but am so grateful I found you at all. You’re such a great communicator. Thank you for letting so many people in your experiences and life.
We need a whole planty tour and a day in the life as a plant parent 😍😍😍🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Some days you win the race, some days you're just lucky to make it to the end. We all have those days, weeks, months... Your videos have helped me a lot on the days I'm just trying to crawl to the finish line. I really love this video especially because you are being real and showing that you cannot be high energy and up all the time. .. And that's perfectly fine and normal. I'll be over here with you just trying to make it through the day and do the things I can ❤
Not boring!! When you go slower, you talk more about what you’re doing, the reasoning, the future for the plant. Good info, girl! Thank you! You’re such good company. 😄😃🌱🌵
If you ask me, I love your long-form videos. I just very recently started getting into the plant hobby for about a month and a half now and I always have you running in the background while I'm going about my plant chores myself. Something about your videos makes doing plant chores something I want to do every day. I myself am the only one in my inner circle who cares for plants the way I do, so when having you play in the background, it keeps me company and secondly, I feel like I have a best friend who cares about plants just as much as I do. This is because when going into plants, you were the first person to pop up and I've always tagged you along with me on my plant journey. Thanks to you, I already have a small plant collection of 13 plants with one more on the way. I just wanted to thank you for introducing me to a world I never thought I'd get myself involved in.
You are not boring at all. I appreciate that you’re real and sometimes that means post vacation blues. Totally normal. I love your content and I’ve learned so much. Thank you. ❤
I’ve been struggling with the death of my grandfather. His passing actually inspired my love for plants, because I wanted to keep a peace lily I got in his honor alive. I am so sorry for your loss, and I pray healing over you. I enjoy your upbeat and your low key videos! Hold your head high. Your light is shining brighter than you know!
I will watch whatever videos you feel like making, low energy, high energy, doesn't matter. I enjoy your personality and love of plants
Your Shorts are always very entertaining and funny, and your longer videos feel cozy and like we get to see another side of you Thank you for sharing, take care!
❤❤❤
I feel your pain
My husband passed away in September 2023.
It’s so difficult
Thank you for sharing your love and happiness
I find peace and comfort in you ❤
Sweetie, you are not boring. You hang in there. Your energy always impresses me.
Your voice, your attitude and your vibe are what I’m here for. Long or short, I’m here for it.
And because of you, now I have a windowsill of plants. So far they haven’t died!
Post vacation blues are a real thing for many people.
I lost my wife 18 months ago and noticed that going on trips by myself or doing bucket list items are usually followed by a new grief wave.
I love your short videos, but your long videos have a different relaxing low-key vibe that works well too.
As a women who lives in Indiana who needs some help when taking care of my plants, I love this. I'm doing my pkant chores and you are here with me it's nice.
Krystal we are right here with you for both the good days and the not so good days. Just be you. Thats why we are here.
Your videos are awesome NOT boring. We all have those moments. Happy planting!
Don’t think this is boring. This is exactly what I have been needing. Calm, informative videos. It’s nice to step away from the fast paced content, it’s too hard to keep up
These are my favourite type of long form plant content, love seeing how people do things differently to me around the house 😅
Yay!!! Love your long uploads 💚🪴🌵 ((and when you have sponsors💰))
*edit* I'm also trying to get organized to feel more calm... So sorry you're feeling like this. Sending happy thoughts/prayers 💚💚💚
Thank you!!!!!!! 🥹💚 I’m grateful to have these opportunities.
@@PlantswithKrystal and I'm sure you know this because you said you were just over thinking but I think it needs to be said: these videos are NOT boring 💚💚💚 also I hope you're doing okay.
I would watch you paint a room!! hahah I like having videos like this on the background as I work on stuff on the side. Its calming and informative and it makes me feel like I'm not doing things alone at home. You just make videos however you want tho!
Believe me we talk to ourselves as we take care of our plants. You’re just doing it on camera!!
That’s something to get used to on my end for sure!
It’s not boring, I wanna see you talk! Seriously these videos are the one positive thing I’m holding onto right now, I really appreciate you taking the time to share pieces of you with us❤Thank you and we love you
I dont think your videos are boring at all, i had a rough day and watching this is making me feel alot better ❤
RUclips gods send this video my way today. Just came back from holidays and feeling really down, not ready to go back yet. Thank you so much, I feel less alone ❤
Plant ppl. We will sit here and listen to you talk and play with plants... and there's no judgment lol ❤
I love watching your videos. Not lying. It’s the best after a long crazy day at work to relax and just watch you tend to your plants. I have my house plant day on Sunday so I enjoy watching and learning about other house plants.
For your window dilemma, in my laundry room, I have a tall narrow window. I bought a shelf made of three boards and rope. It fill the window perfect and I have all my tiny succulents and cacti on it for the best sun. But because they’re small, they don’t obstruct the view much. Just a thought. Hang in there girl.
We are all here because we love your video's. We appreciate the time you take to share you info with us . I'm in a position that I can't have all the lovely plants right now so I live vicariously through yours . Keep the video's coming. 💚🌿🌱🍃
I missed this video when you posted it but today seems to be the day I needed to see it. Your honesty about what's happening in the moment is so generous and kind hearted. I appreciate seeing others going through the ups and downs of life. You help me feel more normal. ❤
I enjoyed the video, but I'm usually a low vibes person. I love seeing how others live, and your plants of course. Personally this many plants would be overwhelming for me, so take it easy. I especially loved the carnivorous plants! Take care and sorry for your loss 🌵🪴🌺💚🕊
No where near boring, fun to hang out. I did some plant chores myself while watching. ✨
This wasn't boring at all! You're lovely and your videos are very relaxing and fun.
I just came across your channel recently and it’s very comforting. Lately I’ve been too depressed to do literally anything at all. It gives me a little motivation when I see you pushing through! I’ll watch your videos no matter how low-energy you feel while filming ☺️
It truly isn’t boring I love these type of videos it’s so peaceful and real ❤
You're Awesome Crystal! Continued Blessings To You Darling ! 😇🙏🏾🌹
Thank you so much 💚
@@PlantswithKrystal You're Welcome 😇🙏🏾🌹
I loved this video so much. Thank you Krystal. I lost my Dad a month ago at 93. His birthday is June 5. I’m so grateful that you showed up in my feed about 4 months ago. I love plants and I love your puppy. I have a 2 year old mini dachshund, Ella. I lost my Mom in 2012. Grief affects everyone in their lives and I so appreciate you. I LOVED the short of your friends taking you to the capybaras. I love them too. It had me googling to find out where I could find some to interact with in Western Canada. Love you and your content! 💕🇨🇦
You just keep doing you, regardless of the thoughts creeping in about who won't watch or dislike etc.and so on. There are a lot more of us that will hang regardless of the feelings you're feeling . Real knows real and appreciates it, the fact that you tufted it out and finished the video shows how much heart you got.
I recently started watching your channel, Krystal. I saw a shorts of you saving orchids and then started to watch your shorts one by one. Then I decided to watch long videos and I absolutely love them.
I love that you are showing us real life. The coke down from vacation is always so odd on top of life just continuing on.
This was really nice, I relate a lot. I'm grieving for my mum so it's nice to watch someone like me. Dogs and plants are my favourite distractions
We get the post vacay dumps when we get back from holidays, it’s like a mini depression that lasts about a week or so. But you do you, be yourself, we love you no matter what, all the parts of you. You know you don’t have to be high energy all the time. It just isn’t realistic ❤ oh and btw, you’re not boring, it’s like hanging with your bestie
We’ve got those industrial looking rods over or near windows, I hang plants and lights for the plants on the rack underneath. They’re gorgeous as a part of our decor. We actually use the curtain rod on one window to hang lighter/smaller plants, works great, we never close the curtains so it works for me!
Omg I know this video was so long ago but just know you, your beautiful energy and sense of humor calm me in a way I cannot express. Sending you loving and healing energy and I hope you continue to make more laid back videos like this! ❤
My peace lily is in water but it's blooming..also, my Alocasia Polly is blooming as well ...must be happy ..your plants are beautiful and Mr. Puppy is awesome
Thank you so much!!!! I love to see some new blooms!
I’m grieving too. It sucks. I learned that it doesn’t go away. I just made room in my heart for it.
I don’t know how many plants I have…maybe 100…inside and out.
I enjoy your videos and you’ve helped me to not be afraid of looking at roots and cleaning them up. I think you’re very informative and a delight!!!! You have a good and soulful spirit.
We watch cause we just love "hanging out" with you, doesn't matter what you're doing! Just be you!
Also, I love the hanging plants in the window idea! You could put an invisible shelf on the other side of the palm by the grow light too if you want
Your Real about who you are ~Sad or Happy. It’s real.
My depression knows me too well, these videos help many of us. Thank you
I found you through RUclips shorts, but I’m loving the longer videos! The shorts are fun, but these longer ones feel more personal and informational. I was wondering if you’ve ever considered doing an update video? Like updates on plants you’ve rescued and stuff that maybe goes more in depth than the shorts? Oooo or a video about plants you don’t vibe with? I love favorite plants videos, but I love it even more when creators talk about the beef they have with some plants haha
THIS IS SO NOT BORING.... I LOVE LOVE LOVE ALL YOUR CLIPS.. SHORT AND LONG. YOU SPEAK TRUTH, LIGHT AND LOVE. YOU GIVE SUCH GREAT ADVICE FOR US PLANT PARENTS, NEW AND OLD. BUT YOU ALSO SPEAK TRUTH IN REAL LIFE. I TOO FEEL THE SAME WHEN I RETURN FROM A VACAY. I USUSALLY TAKE 4 - 6 WEEKS LONG TRIPS ONCE A YEAR.GET IT ALL DONE AT ONE TIME. MOSTLY BECAUSE I HATE THE LIL TRIPS, NEVER ENOUGH TIME TO DO WHAT I WANNA DO EVEN IF IT'S JUST NOTHING. WHEN I RETURN, IT'S JUST A SOLUMN KINDA MELANCHOLY FEELING. THEN GETTING BACK TO SAVING WHAT PLANTS DIDN'T DIE (CARE TAKERS CAN NEVER TAKE CARE OF THEM THE WAY WE DO). PLEASE DON'T EVER FEEL LIKE YOUR VIDEOS ARE ALL WORTHY... YOUR VOICE IS SO CALMING AND I JUST LOVE THE WAY I LEARN FROM AND WITH YOU. TAKE CARE LOVELY, YOU'RE DOING GREAT!!!!
**SIDE NOTE... DON'T MIND THE ALL CAPS. WAS TOO LAZY TO GO BACK AND RE-TYPE. 😀
The invisible shelves on that wall would fill out the space nicely, and maybe you could do lights above each one, like the kind over artwork, but with a grow light bulb?
Your comment about something falling on you in your sleep reminded me of what happened to my brother. Back in the 80's ghetto blaster days my brother used to have music loud. There is a shelf that goes around the room where their beds were. Our cat decided to walk it during the night and stepped on the play button. The music blasted scared the cat who hit a globe that landed on my other brothers head. lol. Same brother also fell down stairs carrying cat and he left scratches all over his face. Bad luck.
Lmfao bad luck cat 🐈 😾😼🙀😹🤣
I’m a high energy, bubbly person- I am feeling down myself and when people like us who are used to that happy energy, on days we are down or don’t have that energy going thru us, it really throws us off…. At least for me.. and I am totally matching your energy right now, bc I’m going through some stuff as well… I love this video and feel like your a friend from afar- do you and be you, these videos are connecting us all in different ways- be real- that’s the best you can be!!! I pray each day the pain lessens and one day those memories that once were painful to think about, will be sweet memories and comforting- hang in there Krystal, you can do this 🩵🫶
I love watching you Krystal, your videos aren't never long enough
I like listening. Like having a friend in the house.
That’s so sweet! Thank you so much!
Love your videos by the way! You are real, relaxing, inspiring, motivating, hilarious, human, normal, ENOUGH! just do you and allow us to join you as you live! Keep on keeping on! Hoping you have a better day
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and attitude and for showing and talking about what things are really like. I'm a newbie to plants and your videos help me believe in myself being able to 'do it' - whether it's keeping my small handful of plants alive, or taking care of myself when basic tasks seem impossible. You are surviving an extremely difficult time, and I think that is commendable and anything beyond that, like 'acting high-energy' or 'bouncing back', is a bonus, and not an expectation you have to meet. Sending you love and blessings.
Please carry on with the long videos, i am enjoying the free knowledge you're passing on, and i am very grateful. I am a new plant parent, and you have definitely helped me a lot. Thank you. Love from the uk 🇬🇧
Absolutely! There will definitely be more to come! Thank you so much for being here.
I enjoy your videos while I’m taking care of my plants .
Im grateful for your story, grief is always going to be around , but use that grief to remember all the happy memories you made together . ❤❤❤🌵🌵🌵🏜️
I love these long form videos, everything is so short nowadays which is why we always seem to be bored. But i recently took up houseplants as a hobby after having my baby and watching you has helped me try to slow down and regulate myself. Long form videos I feel like are so much better for your brain ! So you don’t need to overthink it, it’s hard to find good RUclipsrs that are real and make slower and calmer content
You’re not boring!! ❤❤❤ Your coolness is awesome! 😎 oh! And I LOVE PLANTS! 🪴 🌱 🌳 🌲 🌴
Small plants hanging in front of the window would be so pretty! You could add large jewels hanging from the bottom of each to reflect the sunlight like sun catchers. Or some trailing plants on a shelf across the top of the window might be nice. They would frame it like natural curtains.
After seeing your plant on the invisible shelf, I definitely recommend that option! They won’t block the window and you can use a mirror across from them to reflect enough light.
One of your best videos yet Krystal...very real, relaxed, and comforting for a lot of people I'm sure, including myself. You're appeal is not only that you entertain but that you reach our hearts with the every day, the common and the vulnerable. You'll have ups, you'll have downs and the in-betweens but that's life and we gotta do life, right! Hang in there lovey...sending love all the way from Down Under 🐨
I think a thick branch from outside would look great hung above the windows only allowing plants to hang 1/3 of the way down so you can still utilize the windows!
Loved this video I watched while I did my nails. Even your “low energy” is contagious.
I vote for hanging pole in front of the window- then maybe add some art to the blank wall.
I loved just watching you do your daily tasks, your presence and love for your plants is relaxing. Please keep it up 🌱💚 but also take care of yourself firstly !
Hey Krystal, you do what you do! People who like it will watch, don't care about the others! My opinion on the invisible bookshelfs vs the hangers in front of the window? I liked the idea of the "floating plants" on the wall when I first saw it in one of your videos, so I tried it myself. But at least for me it is not the right thing, because the plants don't seem to get enough light so high up the wall, so I'm kind of always rotating them around the room. But I have also installed a bamboo bar on the ceiling just in front of the window, so I can hang a few more hanging plants there, but still need only two holes for the hooks in my ceiling. Also, I used two chains to cling the bamboo bar and make the height adjustable, and now I can just lower it if I feel the plants need a bit more light!
I like how genuine you are. I've also been having some lower days and hearing you helped me today :)
Always good to hang out with you! Sending warm, fuzzy, happy vibes your way - take good care! 💚🌿🌱🪴
Post holiday blues are the worst I find I fall into a slump after I’ve been away somewhere but to me that usually indicates I haven’t been looking after myself and the holiday was more needed than I realised. That feeling that hits when you get home usually prompts me to have plenty of rest and self care 😊
Definitely needed a lot of self care after this one 💚
Thank you for sharing this video. I often shame myself for having low days. It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one. ❤️ This was very calming to watch.
Your feelings are completely normal. i constantly battle the maximalist and minimalist inside me 😊 It takes time and experiences in order to figure out what works best for you. Don't feel bad purging either, if you didn't go for the more in one area, you may have not realized the less is more lesson! Someone will always benefit from your overflow. You are loved girl. enjoy your time home and give that puppy a good squeeze for me! man he's cute!!
I have never done as well with my plants as I have in Arizona. I suggest moving here permanently! It's awesome and never cold like Indiana!
