Great tips! But the last one is best advice…figuring out your growing environment and what works best for your plants. I have learned that being a plant parent is definitely trial and error. Listening to other peoples experience is good you have to start somewhere but taking that advice and adapting it to your growing conditions and plants.
Agree that there is so much underestimation of the importance of light. Another one I'd add to that is air flow! Especially if you are supplementing humidity or enclosing plants in some way.
I’m so glad you said that about the humidifier, I have been a indoor plant parent for 20+ years and I have lots and lots of plants, so much so that my family is sick of my plants at times, I did use one a long time ago, but I don’t think it’s necessary.
I love the one about humidity. I ordered a humidifier because the one I have and used for a little while don’t put the clouds high enough in the air. I decided to cancel it because I realized I was the only one stressed over humidity. My plants are doing great. It’s only in the winter when humidity is a problem. I just decided to stick it out and save my money for other things, like more plants or more grow bulbs, lol. I’m just glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t swear by humidifiers.
Love this 💚 I wish I lived in a warm climate for my plants but I don’t. So my plants are gonna grow slower than some one who has warm weather all year long.
Guilty as charged for some of the mistakes. kinda funny too coz this was just too relatable. guilty about the misting thing 'coz i thought it was fun to just give my plants a good sprits in the morning. and I hover over the plants like they might magically have a new leaf or something. Never had a humidifier because my plants are balcony plants. the only plants that i ever over watered (for some reason because i'm a constant underwaterer) are pothos plants like the manjula ang 'njoy pothos. I mostly listen to the plant ladies; tips at our local orchidarium because we live in the same climate so I believe them more than YTers. :) I just love watching plant content (yours especially) for entertainment and to see what plants I would love to add to my wish list next.
Yo, helicopter plant parent to the max here. I don’t really fall prey to overwatering anymore, but I do get antsy, so I find sending people pictures or taking “update” pictures for my Planta app scratches that plant-chore itch. And dusting leaves. This is such a fantastic and informative video. One of my fav of the Vlogmas. Making mistakes is a natural part of the process of plant parenthood. Thanks for sharing :)
I have a monstera archiepielago and because the humedifier gave her a fungus on leave i treat it with a fungicide she still die so some plants don like humidity
Love the last tip! That’s where I heard that one should douse plants in alcohol when you have mealie bugs. Left too much alcohol in the substrate and it killed my Warocqueanum.
Video suggestion…..a video all about your experience with lighting. Examples with your light meter to show how close to put plants to the grow lights ( recommended foot candles per different varieties of plants) ❤
Hi! I just discovered your channel through this video. I really loved his your share your mistake, it was very informative and entertaining! I'm a helicopter plant parent! 😂 I can resist the urge to water now, but I used to want to water then every day! Now, I obsessively inspect them for new growth, signs of pest or simply admire the leaves.
If you live in a climate where your heater kicks on in the winter get a whole house humidifier. It works through your heat ducts and will pump out warm humid air all winter. It’ll keep your entire house at a constant 55% humidity during the driest winters. It’s the only thing that I’ve found that works well.
Agree, we did this but it's been so cold and dry here that even with it running it dropped to 19% 😪 back to 30s now though. Depends on how big your house is and what level it's on etc. I wish I could get constant 50s!
I have had plants in my home for the past 30+yrs. I’ve been an avid collector for the past 5yrs. Currently I have 200+ plants…common, uncommon, “rare”, difficult to easy. The only pests I’ve had in the past, not currently, is fungus gnats. I have never had thrips, spider mites, meely bugs. I don’t use, and currently don’t have is pesticides. I don’t use fertilizers or growth enhancements. I grow all my plants in soil Miracle Grow. They are watered with tap water and live in my house environment with no added humidity. I live in the USA Wva with change in seasons. I don’t deal with root rot or dying/declining plants. Some of my plants are 20+yrs old. With that said…during our warm months I have the pleasure to take my plants outside and they taken care of by Mother Nature. Colder months, I’m blessed with floor to ceiling windows in all the rooms in my house (I live in a cabin in the Mnts)I take care of them by showering them each time they’re watered. Now not all my plants need watered at the same time and they are all thriving and surviving. And BTW most all are in terracotta pots. Some might think this could possibly not be true, but it is, this is MY way to grow my plants and it works and it works for me and I save a LOT of $$ 😊
Definitely my favorite video of the month, the setup, the tone, the energy, the light and you explaining so gently. Amazing work
Aww thank you! 💚
Misting a plant is only good for getting newly emerging leaves unstuck. It’s a great way to damped the stuck leaf without overwatering the plant.

I AGREE KEVIN LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKE!!!!!!

Always watch your videos but never say anything. I just wanted to say I really appreciate this one. Thank you.
😭😭😭😭 aw thank youuu 💚
Love this 💚 I wish I lived in a warm climate for my plants but I don’t. So my plants are gonna grow slower than some one who has warm weather all year long.
The struggle of giving your plants enough light in the winter.. 😢 I supplement with grow lights but I wish there was more sunlight in the PNW
isn't it funny that the sun started shining through the leaf behind you when you started talking about light needs?! (around 3:00)
Guilty as charged for some of the mistakes. kinda funny too coz this was just too relatable.

Im a leaf duster too! It keeps my nose in my plants’ business with a damp cloth, not a watering can, in my hand!
Thank you sooo much! I was also a "helicopter" plant parent.. I may need a pet to take care of that likes to be hugged! 😅

Oh noooooo ! Yeah it’s hard when there’s so much advice and info out there 🫣😆
Guilty of all of the above 🤭. ❤

Fantastic video! Helpful & informative.
💚💚💚
Yes! I love this and was going to do a similar video. One of mine I'd add is checking the back side of the leaves for pests/ cleaning them more often.
Great advice Great video…as always 😊
Happy New Year Kevin
Thank you for all the great advice 💚🪴🙌
I’m an over waterer and I struggle with us every time I pick up my watering can.

I keep two humidifier running to keep the humidity to the middle sixties. I just think they stay happier.

Thanks for always watching 💚💚💚
I have some Ant. Magnificums in leca and the edges keep browning, even with full reservoirs. Might need pon to keep the roots more moist?

Def was a plant helicopter parent lol. Still am kinda haha, especially when I have a day off from work and have to check what’s going on 😅.
i bet the humidifier reduces the number of crispy leaves.

I just want to know if my humidifier is supposed to be putting out cold mist! I thought humidity was warm!
Yes, most humidifiers are cool mist humidifiers. You can buy warm mist humidifiers if you want to, but they cost a bit more.
@@mwilliamanderson Thsnk you!

Heyyyyyyyyyy
Hiiiiiiiiiiiii 💚💚💚
Why is your video playing in Spanish dubbing??? 😅 what am I doing wrong?
