- As a reminder from part 1 ( • common plant care tips... ):
⚠️ Take everything I say with a singular grain of salt in fact split that salt into quarters and be reminded that everything I discuss and say in this video is my opinion which is not end all be all and if I had to rate my intelligence level on a scale of 10 I'd give myself a solid 4 and also do whatever works for you because that's my motto and I'm stickin to it ⚠️
Hello friends and welcome back to part 2 of 3 of this mini series where I give my two cents about popular care advice that floats around the interwebs! In part one we talk about things related to light, watering and drainage holes. In this video we talk about repotting, fertilizer and what to do with newly acquired plants.
As a second reminder, I welcome friendly discussion in the comments but any rude comments will be deleted. LUV YA 🌹🌹🌹
If you have any tips / advice to add to part 3, please feel free to leave it in the comments or DM it to me on Instagram!

"Death plugs" for me(in the states)are the dense,spongelike peat moss grower's plugs. They are horrific and when I have not checked for them I've had multiple plants suffer and some have died because the tiny new roots have been suffocated trying to grow out of it(just too compressed and dense!). The plants I have saved early end up recovering and growing well after I remove the plug.
I have noticed some that are SO thick and dense!!! And the roots are actually having trouble getting out. I think it just depends on what plug was used, and if the plants roots are actually gonna take it. My begonia? Did not like. Alocasia? Was fine. Im sure many have them still bc honestly i just left them but i have had some die and i find a super thick mesh and peat plug after “inspecting the body” lol
Yes. Agree. The ones in the US r so dense I’ve had many plants choke out from them
They are the worst!
@@nlbthatsme seriously!
Absolutely horrible if left undetected in the states.
On the topic of period blood as fertilizer, I recently went on a podcast binge about fertilizers... lol so (I’m 90% sure it was this one) I was listening to Plant Daddy podcast’s episode called Houseplant Fertilizers 101, and they asked their special guest (Miles Jonard from the Plant Store) about fertilizing with pasta water, coffee grounds, etc and basically he said that the minerals/electrolytes/whatever in those “homemade” fertilizers aren’t in a molecular structure suitable to be absorbed by plants (that’s the gist of it at least). I’m going to go ahead and assume the same thing about period blood... plant fertilizers are formulated FOR plants, which makes sense 😅
stop people dont actually do that 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Who thinks to use a woman's period blood to fertilize anything?
I just bought 2 aglaonemas from home depot last week. They each had 2 plugs. They were not mesh though. They were plastic netty pots with huge thick roots. They definitely would have killed the plants eventually as would the inch of water they had them sitting in 🙈
Ooo CHARMAINE. The plant room is looking like a happy jungle 😍 just wanted to throw out there that you might find a jewelry loop handy, I happened upon one in London drugs for $10 it’s 5-10x magnification (you can remove one of the lenses) and you have to get pretty close to the plant but it’s neat even just seeing the texture and veins up that close ❤🥰
When do you make this tee merch we can buy?! Desperate for it
love the shirt also!!!
Also desperate for that shirt! 😂❤
came here to say this!
Charmaine i died when you mentioned the period blood as fertilizer! 🤣🤣Wonderful video. Sending hugs and healing thoughts.
It’s coming!! I promise!!
That pot that looks like a rock. It’s really cute and much bigger than it looks. You kept adding soil and adding soil and still needed more soil after you put the plant in. I got a kick out of this. 😂😂😂
Great video, mostly agree with all you said. Every situation is different so there is no one size fits all. I now have a new saying,, Risk it for the Biscuit Great video. Just discovered them and doing a lot of catching up.
I usually wait a minimum of two weeks to repot a plant. The only time I would repot sooner is if there are pests in the soil (ex: root mealies), rot, or the soil is not good at all for my environment, such as straight peat moss. If the soil is good, I likely won't repot the plant until it's ready to get a bigger pot.
MORAL OF THE STORY IS: EVERY SITUATION IS DIFFERENT. This video gave lots of great info but also just more so proves that indoor planting is not black and white when it comes to rules. My video on no drainage is nothing in comparison to yours but you have me the courage to even make one! Thank you for that
I’m so grateful I found your channel. You, along with several other planty channels I follow have been my saving grace. Like you, I struggle with ADHD and your video about tips to care for your collection when you struggle with this was so eye opening for me. Thank you for your effort and time and for sharing your journey with us. What a lovely community of people this hobby has created. 💚
I love the pre made cake box. That’s my same theory “if I follow these instructions then I should have a cake😂😢” LOL
Love your videos - the longer, the better! I'm learning so much about caring for my own indoor plants and propagation doesn't seem so daunting after watching you.
Those roots look cute and pink on the video.
Thank you for the tips! Much needed info! I haven't been watching you for very long, but sense I started ive watched you almost every day! Love this channel😁
Hiiii 💕Where can i find your fertilizing routine.
I GOT A FREAKING HEART ATTACK WHEN THE ROCK SHOWED UP OMFG CHARMAINE
ME TOO
18:53 I hate this one! I always followed that early into my plant journey and ended up repotting wayyyy too often. Like, a plant that should be in a 3" pot was instead in a 6" because the roots kept going straight out. Now, I always tell people to pull the plant out and check the root ball, only repot when it's root bound.
It’s so weird not getting the watch you uploads as soon as they come out anymore. Starting a new job definitely calls for some changes, but thankful I have stuff to catch up on now. 😉
Love these ones so much! Agree on most of them too!!
Yeees Lucas mango and chamoy are the best 🙌🙌
This music for some reason was giving me bearstein bears vibes and I’m here for it maybe if they had like a halloween episode
On the topic of periods, it was pretty interesting to read about our feelings/relationship when it comes to our period. And how when we have a negative or gross feeling about it, or hate it- we are more likely to have harsher periods (cramps, bloating, feeling like crap, even more likely linked to have endometriosis, PMS and so on). Where as if we see it as a positive, good thing we are less likely to have such harsh difficulties with our menstrual cycle.
“In the Flo” is a REALLY good book because I used to be the same way with mine and it opened up my eyes to so much! And now that I’m more thankful for it, my time has been SO much better. Not saying it fixed everything, but my symptoms subsided SO much. I just know how much you have expressed how horrible yours can be, so it may be something to think about. Not saying it’s a cure all, but could help to some degree I think. ❤
Egg shells are calcium maybe a little protein on the inside of the shell.
I always wonder if rain water is good for your indoor plants. I see some countries collect them and store them to use. Also when you have a plant that has pests and you treat them and get rid of them. Why does it happen again in having pests on plants that you have treated. As my Hoya Krimson Queen that i bought in a nursery i have treated it twice fully and getting mealy bugs again. Is driving mw crazy as i love this one and I don’t want to dispose it and give it up. Also you mentioned with Alocasia when you repot them they can throw a fit and leaves droop. I sometimes see they don’t bounce back up again the leaves after doing it. Back from scratch getting the water right since they like moist soil.
In terms of fertilizing, would you say watering with quarter strength through winter/dormant looking plants be ok?? ☺️
Thank you for sharing all of this with us.
Love this series
Loved your video and tons of info. Where did you find large perlite. Bought from few different vendors thru Amazon and it all come very small and powders! 😮💨 please share the link if possible for US. Thank you.
I wonder if the period blood thing came from people planting the placenta under a new tree?
I agree with all your advice!
💚💚
My dog will suddenly jump from his bed and runs to the front door barking and growling. At least a dozen times today. There’s never anything or anyone at the door. I’ve quit looking. I just call him back to bed.
I sold my Cuprea and the person asked me if I can re-pot it for her 😏of course I did. At 1st I was thinking that I didn't have any corms but I find 3 very small ones. More than any other alocasia
I’m doing sulfer right now mixing it with water and spraying it on. How are you doing yours
I save deli cups from takeout to use as pots 😅
Charmaine! Can you please tell me where you got pudges deshedder vacuum looking thing?? It looks like it works amazing!!! I have been trying to find it since you first posted the video with it. Can you please send me a link to it!!
Did I hear right??? Period blood?!?! How?? So many questions come to mind 😂
So excited for this video! I LOVED the first one 😍😍😍
What happens if you fertilize in the winter?
I would love to see a video on your alocasia collection !
The itching is a reaction from touching and treating the alocacia.
Can you get Azamax in Canada? I'm looking online and can't seem to find it.
“Baginda” 😂😂😂😂
Is the perlite stain with your mycho innoculent?
Well when you do downsize... im hoping for notice so I can try and snag some.....
Some death plugs are actually plastic and very problematic.
6 minutes in you say you're going to transfer to pon but take the extra step of perlite - wish I'd done this with my silver dragon! Mine dropped half it's leaves after transfer, then a couple weeks later lost another leaf, now it's a one leaf wonder with a new one on the way and I'm really hoping it's okay! Kind of want to check the roots but too scared to unearth it again so i'm just hoping it doesn't die at this point 😂
I wish you had mentioned the name of each plant.
I got my azlanii after shipping and I lost all of her leaves and ones back up but a little scuffed hoping mine bounces back!
N🟢 Period Blood OR Pee For MY LIVING W💚RKS OF ART!!!💚
Got it!!
Do u find lecca and pon better than soil please?
See a dermatologist about your mole. Unless your dr looks at it under a special microscope he can’t tell what it is.
It goes against the laws of nature. Maybe.
That plant is surviving not thriving
PEE?!?!?!
hey Charmaine, I'm going mad crazily rooting through every video you've ever posted, hoping to catch where you buy your really coarse perlite. I'm a fellow Canadian and am seriously having a bitch of a time trying to find some. please tell me where you buy yours...please, please, puuuuhleeeeeese. lol
