Hey Everyone! Thank for for all the love and kind words on Luna! Her vet came to see her today and we don’t have a diagnosis. I started filming on Friday so it’s been almost a week and her Xray didn’t show any fracture so not thinking an injury now. She’s presenting with lameness is all of her extremities but it shows up in a different one each day. It’s really odd. Thinking it might be some immune reaction or viral illness of some sort but gave her some medicine to help guide and rule some things out. Her blood work is normal and no signs of an insect bite on exam plus she’s on preventive so that would be unusual. Right now, just managing her pain, making sure she is eating and then see how it goes over the next week after these medications she received today. I appreciate you all and thank you for being here and watching my videos! It helps me out so much. I’ll keep you updated! 🤗 If you’re interested in the new fertilizer I’m using you can find it here: www.amazon.com/shop/plantsbymelissa/list/28JOY1BVWMKEK?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d The 8 inch green plastic nursery pots are here: www.amazon.com/shop/plantsbymelissa/list/2Q7LRSOZIGHH7?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
I cannot imagine how much time it took to film and edit this video on top of all the plant work and Luna, I appreciate these long ones so much and how real you are in them. I get so overwhelmed with my collection and it's a very lonely feeling it's just so nice to have somewhere to go that I can relate to. I hope Luna gets back to being herself soon and I'm excited to see your plants thrive on this dynamite fertilizer
Thank you! I was editing right by her side so I could just sit with her 🥹 When I felt like I could do some chores I kept constantly checking on her, It was such a long week! I can definitely understand that! I feel better about creating more space but I will be downsizing some because it can be very stressful having so many to care for then I feel like I neglect some :(
When I get overwhelmed or stressed I make a list of what is stressing me out. I pick 3-4 things on the list that I can realistically accomplish. You don’t need to do everything at once. Be patient and take your time. Honestly Luna is all that really matters. Sending you good vibes 😊
Our black lab woke up one morning in 2021 and could not walk. We thought she was having a seizure but she just kept getting worse. We took her in to get checked out. X-rays, blood work, other test all came back normal. As far as we know, she was having muscle spasms in her shoulder and it effected her entire movement because of the pain. Three days of pain meds and another 10 on anti-inflammatory and she was good as new. We still don’t know what caused it but seeing her in so much pain was heartbreaking. Sending prayers for sweet Luna and you!
This happened to my lab too only after three weeks we had to put him to sleep:-( they figured it was something neurological. Sending my love to any one w pet hardships tonight! Xoxo
@@jacquelinedaniels87 I am so sorry! My lab is almost 12 and every time she gets sick, my heart breaks cause I know, with age, things will get worse for her. She’s been such a great emotional support dog for me and my hubby through all our health crisis.
Thank you! So sorry to hear that happened! It can be so scary! I'm really hoping she gets better soon. She got a steroid and an antibiotic a couple days ago. She had 3 doses of Nsaids and they helped her but anymore it's not safe in cats. She still has lameness and not herself but she's moving around more. I'll see how she does over the next few days 🤗
Luna is recuperating and so am I. Three weeks ago I tripped while doing chores outside and unfortunately I tore the quadriceps tendon in my left knee. Had surgery 10 days ago and now am faced with a pretty long recovery. I can weight bear with crutches fortunately. Family and friends are helping me with my plants otherwise I’d be out of luck. It could have been much worse it was a bad fall. Your videos are very helpful. Best to Luna.
You got soooo much done and it looks amazing ❣️ your monsteras are incredible! And marantas, and alocasia’s, and anthuriums etc 💚🪴truly all your love and care shows through ❤️🙏🏼 glad Luna is resting comfortably while she heals ❤️🙏🏼
Awe, 💖💕🙏 for Luna. My plant room is my house. You didnt ask for advice, so sorry if im being forward, but IMHO, It is perfectly okay to share our love of plants in other rooms of our homes.. Your plants thrive because you care so much about them. They are gorgeous because of you!
I hope your kitty feels better soon! If they haven’t checked yet maybe ask if it’s worth testing for Lyme disease? Her symptoms sound similar to what our dog had when she tested positive for Lyme. It was treatable with meds. It’s not common in cats but might be worth asking.
Oh I hope Luna gets well soon. When our pets are sick they’re just like our children getting sick, we wish it was us instead of them. They can’t communicate what’s wrong, so I’m hoping things get better for her🙏🏼. Your plant room looks so nice but you can see it on your face that your less stressed than when you started your video. Take care 😊
Idea, if you make more room in your plant room perhaps you can add a small narrow table in the middle (like and island) where you can do plant care. That's what I have in my plant room. You can use pretty baskets/containers to store your plant stuff under that table. I'm 45 and have RA so there's no way I can sit lol. Just an idea.
I have a foldable table in here to repot on but it gets very crowded with it. I may use it again this summer now that I have freed up some space in here 🤗
I can’t WAIT to settle down and watch this. Normally I use videos like this as motivation to care for my own plants and do my jobs as I’m watching but I’m finally caught up on watering after being behind for 2 weeks 😢 and you’re such a calming person I love nothing better than doing nothing and just watching 😂 now I also love aquatic plants and fish - if you could just get into this hobby for me too please so I can watch your videos on aquariums that would be great 😂💜
aww thank you!! I'm glad I can be that way for you 🤗 We used to have a small fish tank back in the day but that was a long time ago. I feel like I wouldn't know anything about that now lol but maybe one day again! Glad your watering is caught up! Such a great feeling!
Really enjoyed your plant chores video! I was getting overwhelmed for you. I always cringe when you repot on your carpet. I'm such a messy repotter. I get soil everywhere! I would have your carpet ruined! Lol. Hope sweet Luna is better soon. Always hard when our fur babies are unwell.
Hi Melissa I enjoyed your video very much and I’m glad to see you are feeling better I hope that Luna feel better soon. great job with your plants and your pets. Keep up the good work.
Sorry to hear about Luna, hope she’s doing better. Had both my dogs to vet Fri also. Hate it when our babies don’t feel good. Your baby painted ladies are so cute. 💚
I hope Luna feels better soon! I enjoy all your content and your plants are absolutely amazing! There comes a point though where it’s just too much. Hoping you’ll find a happy, healthy balance!
Thanks for the video and so sorry to hear about Luna! If you don’t mind me asking, what do you think of the new fertilizer now that you’ve been using it for a while?
Thank you! I used a horticultural oil since I have a flat mite outbreak, I mix it with water and spray them. But for a preventative I'll just use water and castille soap or neem oil.
I have a alocasia care video saved under my alocasia playlist but I honestly feel I treat them all the same. Sometimes I feel it's hard to give care advice because of our environments being different. I'm really lucky to have this space where it's really warm and humid most days! They really do love it!
They come in different quantities but here's what I got www.amazon.com/dp/B0814L4XPL?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B0814L4XPL&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.4KE9125NV010&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
No put the ant traps where they come in your room. You want them to eat the bait and leave a trail back to the nest. You don’t want to attract them to your hanging baskets.
I'm about to treat my hoya with azamax for the first time. I see it has a very thick oily texture. When you spray in the shower does is leave an oily residue all over the shower?
It's a disposable tea bag! I get a set off amazon. You can find them here: www.amazon.com/dp/B09XKFNYGV?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B09XKFNYGV&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2V24W33QL9G3B&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
Ahh congrats!! I bet it’s so pretty 🤩 I would keep it under great light! My variegated ones appreciate it so much! Hopefully, with the season change it’ll start growing for you! ☺️
Ummmmm did you make your mosquito dunks tea bags? And if you bought them somewhere, please tell me! Thinking about it just now, I'm thinking that you can probably buy your own empty tea bags on Amazon or something. I've been using whatever random thing around my house that I can find to strain out the dunks after soaking.
Yes I buy them off amazon! It's a pack of 100 for pretty cheap and they're disposable :) www.amazon.com/dp/B09XKFNYGV?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B09XKFNYGV&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2V24W33QL9G3B&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
Is the preventative meds causing side effects? Vaccines can also cause nerologic issues?...lyime disease? Did she get bit by a tick? A dog I know started not being able to walk and had lyimes disease.....poor kitty....I hope she is ok...ok I will keep watching...it is so so stressful when our kitties are not their normal selves!
Moss poles can take a lot of work to keep moist and when you have more of them it takes more effort haha. I'm trying not to make as many now but so many plants would benefit from one and love to climb!
They're cheap shelves off amazon but they work great. You can also get them from target!

You took on a big task, but you’re almost done. Hope Luna is better.
Oh darn! I just bought the Osmocote Plus yesterday!
I love osmocote!! I don't have any feedback on the new one until after I see how the plants respond to it but osmocote is great!
💓💓Another great video!! Thanks💓💓
So nice of you!

Where did you get 👀 your monstera Thais? So beautifully 😍 variegated...
My Thai I got as a node from FB seller, the smaller one was gifted. My albos I got from a different seller @aroidparadiso

No put the ant traps where they come in your room. You want them to eat the bait and leave a trail back to the nest. You don’t want to attract them to your hanging baskets.
Do you think having osmocote in the soil and then using a liquid plant food occasionally would be too much?
You don't need to add a liquid plant food if you're using osmocote already :)
I'm about to treat my hoya with azamax for the first time. I see it has a very thick oily texture. When you spray in the shower does is leave an oily residue all over the shower?
I haven't noticed actually! I clean the shower right after I'm done spraying just to sanitize everything.

Make sure you label which plant gets the new fertilize fertilizer.

Your sitting on the floor. Down where they are they’ve got you captive.
Horticultural oil? What is it?
Why your mix instead of sol soils?
I really love my mix. I just prefer it and I don't like coco husk :) It's a great mix but I love ocean forest soil.

Put more plants in your room.
