I love the question: What has plants taught you! 🤗 I use my plants as a mirror for my own life and these 6 things came up: 🌱 Plants taught me that it is neccesary to first let go of something before growing better and healthier. (prunning leaves for better bushier growth 😍 🌱 Plant taught me that strong roots are vital for happy healthy growth 🌱 Plants taught me that it is possible to go from rootrot to new strong roots again 🌱 Plants taught me that even thought I look after myself properly, when not placed in the right environment I will not thrive 🌱 Plants taught me that resting season is vital 🌱 Plants taught to be patience and to follow my inner seasons, I cant always expect myself to be on top of everything x
I’d love a video with your mum! And a tour of her garden :) maybe you could also do an update on the plants you left behind and how she’s arranged the atrium since your plants are gone. ❤
Yaaaay!! I stopped the video I was watching to come watch some plant chores. Lol I always tell my husband that I need a clone of myself so one can work and the other do planty stuffs. 🥰💜🌴🌳☘🌿💚
Yes yes to a repot with your mom! She's so sweet and cool, I remember when she helped you watering you plants when you were on a trip. Love to see the garden!
The thing that made me almost stop plants is being in the hospital for 12 days and then not quite having my brain the same after. I feel like I don't know how to or want to take care of my plants the same way. It's been a struggle. So mental health is my answer on that one. Also would love to see a video with your mom! And of your weekend away lol but maybe that's a stretch
Thanks for videos like these. I have agoraphobia and I have a hard time finding time or even the mental strength to hangout with people. Having you talk about plants and your life feels like I'm sitting in a room with a friend, just getting to listen without worrying about what I have to say to keep the conversation going. I also have ADHD and now the plant obsession makes a lot more sense😂 Hyper-focusing on a hobby is so relatable!! But yeah, these videos are very peaceful for me and I appreciate em' more than you know😊
The American candies video could be one for Claire & Emma Unplanted.She could give you a "tour" of her favorites from over here and then you both could try candies from other countries. I'd definitely watch that yummy lol.😋
Plants have taught me…..patience. Not to expect roots on my propagations within days - unless it’s Tradescantias of course😉 when I’m using ordinary nursery pots for my Leca, I make extra aeration holes with a little soldering iron. I think the extra holes helps to avoid root rot.
Thank you for a great video! 😊I'd love to watch a video like repotting and chatting with your mom or a tour video! Sounds like a lot of fun and very comfy 💚
I would love to see your mom's garden! Also, I would like to see how you organize your cabinet "of chaos", since I struggle to organize my plant supplies and have them shoved in a cabinet as well 😂
Happy Birthday to your boyfriend 🎉 I hope you guys have a wonderful time together and don’t worry about your plants, they want you to have a break too! They will be just fine ❤
oh my god hearing you talk about living alone makes me miss it so much. i love livng with my partner but i thrived living in my own home. It was so much easier to be responsible for the household task and not having to work around someone else is such a sweet luxury.
Hi Claire. I find the easiest way to remove soil from 'new' plants is to soak it first. I tend to soak it and then swirl it like it's in a washing machine. I find this helps to remove the soil, without destroying too many of the good roots. I feel like the only thing that would make me give up my plants is if I became deathly allergic to them and there was no treatment into stopping the symptoms.
what about swapping sweets boxes with someone in another country and trying them? :) maybe during a road trip, or vlog... could be tricky during a repot but would be fun!
Yes you are right it is called an endoscopy I was a nurse for gastroenterology for several years if you ever have to have that surgery again or a colonoscopy just give in to the anesthesia it a very mild sedation very easy to wake up from 😊
Nice vid to hear all about you. And yes, watering vid would be nice! (As I know you will talk about each one as you go. Fairly new here. Very enjoyable. Thank you!
Wow, that is a Monica closet, haha. 😂I have one too.😅 I enjoyed this video, I like watching your repotting videos and it was fun getting to know you better.
I've had 4 surgeries, 2 of them major surgeries, and I've never been under anesthesia! I had 2 wisdom teeth extractions (two separate surgeries for top and bottom) and 2 csections!
So many questions from your followers. There are a few times where i want to give up on plants. Because of pests and fungus gnats. My biggest fear are spiders especially and heights. The biggest surgery i had was getting my tonsils out and also removing all my teeth when i was 8 and 9. I love savoury food. And i love ice cream and cakes they are my wrakness when comes to having a treat.
Claire, why dont you use clar pots for orchids? Those that have one pot over the first pot. For plants în pon. I keep my alocasias and anthuriums like this and thats how I see when they need water.
Hi Claire! Thanks for the chat 😊 Yeeesss for mommy and mom's garden! 🤩 Btw, not sure if i have missed such a video but would it be possible to have an overview of the predatory insects there are in the market and their pros and cons. Like if they require higher humidity to thrive, availability, price.. i recently saw a video of lacewing larvae and i know if predatory mites ofc but wondering if there are any other options out there, too. Maybe you would know 😊 Have a nice vacation and byeeee!! 💚
Speaking as an American, I agree that Cadbury's has the better flavor and texture. I have had issues and have gotten a couple of bars that gave me a really unsavory experience. I really appreciate your channel and the way you are able to keep the audience engaged. It is a true gift to share knowledge, be vulnerable, and transparent about your successes AND failures. Thank you for being you ❤
Now I’m craving watermelon jolly ranchers 😋 it’s very interesting you’re growing the obtusifolia in pon. I threw mine outside because I’m not loving it anymore I have had it since 2019 and I think I only paid 12 dollars CAD for it. I will be looking to replace it with an obtusifolia with nicer variegation.
OMG, I feel the same with group chats! I think that, in my case, is because, first: I don't have the option to choose to accept or not the whole "being part of it", for example on whatsapp people can create groups and add you and suddenly you just are part of groups 🙃and second: I haaaate that sometimes they are created for a purpose, such as organizing a baby shower or a bday, but after the "event" people keep talking but about SUPER random things and I'm like: I don't care any of this (and the notifications makes me feel a little bit anxious) but if I leave the group is like kinda "rude" and I'm the kind of person who avoid conflicts 😅🤣 I looove music but I'm not a "festival fan" because I can get very anxious with crowds and/or open spaces BUT I loooove Glastonbury (to me they have THE BEST lineups 😍), I'm from Chile so no chances of going anytime soon, but last year I watched it online and I had such a great time watching Paul McCartney, Phoebe Bridgers, Sam Fender, Lorde, Pet Shop Boys, Jessie Ware and HAIM and this year (next week 😅) I'm planning doing the same: have some chips, beers and watch: Elton John, Rina Sawayama, Blondie, Flo, Lana del Rey, Lil Nas X, Maggie Rogers and Cat Stevens :) And plants have helped me understand and ACCEPT that not everything has to be perfect... accept the imperfections and let it go.
The choco doesn’t really need a moss pole. the internodes are so tight and it sizes up nicely without one. I would just give it a bamboo stake or one of those coir poles. I wouldn’t recommend letting it size up too fast either (which it would on a moss pole) because very mature choco leaves sadly aren’t very pretty
If you're interested in knowing more about adhd, "Delivered from Distraction" by Edward Halliwell was life changing for me. I was diagnosed at 35 (53 now). My daughter has adhd and dyslexia. It's a whacky, wonderful, weird way to be in the world. Frustrating as anything, too.😂
Since the bottles can look very similar I have an irrational fear that my eye drops are actually super glue. I have to check at least 3 times before I'll put them in my eyes so that I don't accidentally glue my eyes shut. 😬
You should do an American snacks and candy tasting on Claire and Emma Unplanted!! Skittles. Takis, Nerds, Twizzlers? I'm not sure what is available in UK? I prefer Cadbury to Hersheys too lol 😉🤤
Since you've had really good success with Pon... What are your thoughts on switching all plants to pon? I've been considering it because of fungus gnats but I'm nervous to make the switch.
I think the one thing that would make me give up plants is if my current collection would somehow die (like most of it, at least) I have a fear that I would need to travel for a long time/to move to a further place/ just won't be able to take care of them..that might break my heart and I'm not sure I'll repurchase all of those plants after that (or maybe I do Idk😅)
I have a few odd fears….looking up at the open sky…. I can’t look at it. I get vertigo or feel like I’m falling… it is like reverse scared of heights or something. I am also terrified of sharks. Pictures of sharks make me jump and scream.
Butterflies. I have a completely irrational, but nonetheless over the top extreme fear of butterflies. I was forced to walk in butterfly houses when I was little and I am quite significantly visually impaired, so picture butterflies within that context. They are small, and I tend not to be able to see them with my limited vision. They are light, they weigh almost nothing, and you can’t really feel when one lands on you, so in essence, there’s no way to tell that they are there by sense of touch. They are not birds, they don’t sing or flap their wings loudly, they make no sound, so you can’t hear them. TLDR, can’t see them, can’t hear them, can’t feel them, they are flying ninjas from the seventh circle of hell sent to distract sighted people with their beauty only to bestow their evil upon the world.
The only thing I can think of to give up on plants would be poor health. If I became chronically ill and couldn’t care for them. I wouldn’t ask other ppl to care for them for me since that would make it a chore for them and defeat the purpose since I have plants for the plant care hobby not just to look at.
Love your Videos! ❤ Yes. I've had many surgeries! Unfortunately. But they did help me! One saved my life. So im not going to complain😁 Ummm 🤔No irrational fears I can think of? Fears yes. Irrational no Keep making your Awesome Videos! Puppy Love and Kisses to Yulie 🐾❤️ ❤️🐾🌿 5:22
Don’t chop back your piece lily anymore it’s stressed enough just give it a feed and not too much bright light and it will be fine.I’m talking from experience.❤
Me and Emma have recently started the channel together: www.youtube.com/@ClaireAndEmmaUnplanted We're still finding our feet with it, but it's most likely going to be conversations on a variety of topics (mental health, daily life/vlogs, interesting debates etc etc) 💚

Yes! Yes! Yes! To repot & chat and garden tour with your Mom!! ❤
Its really hot in the central belt of Scotland for the last two weeks too so I feel your pain especially with the increased watering 😅
Might be a Mojito Peace Lilly...I have one and they are more yellow/neon
oh my god hearing you talk about living alone makes me miss it so much. i love livng with my partner but i thrived living in my own home. It was so much easier to be responsible for the household task and not having to work around someone else is such a sweet luxury.
Love your content so relaxing and informative my favourite plant channel and I'd never stop my plant hobby 😊
Yes to a video with your mum and a would love to see her garden
A video with your mum would be wonderful 😊
Love watching ANY plant chores!! Xxx
i loved this! to be honest. i listen while i work. and sometimes i struggle to find things to listen too. so this was wonderful!
I would love a tour of your mom's garden ❤
You should do a video of you cleaning out that closet
Hi Claire. I find the easiest way to remove soil from 'new' plants is to soak it first. I tend to soak it and then swirl it like it's in a washing machine. I find this helps to remove the soil, without destroying too many of the good roots.
I feel like the only thing that would make me give up my plants is if I became deathly allergic to them and there was no treatment into stopping the symptoms.
❤ thank you, I love your videos
what about swapping sweets boxes with someone in another country and trying them? :) maybe during a road trip, or vlog... could be tricky during a repot but would be fun!
You were on my counter as I did plant chores too. 😊
You went to drama school? That’s so cool! Especially cool that you got to act at The Globe. Do you still act or take auditions?
Ps would love a garden tour of your mums garden! I have a garden and always keeping an eye out for inspiration!
Yes, do a repot with your mom! That would be great to see!
Yes you are right it is called an endoscopy I was a nurse for gastroenterology for several years if you ever have to have that surgery again or a colonoscopy just give in to the anesthesia it a very mild sedation very easy to wake up from 😊
I would love for you and your Mom to do a tour of your Mom’s place.
Nice vid to hear all about you. And yes, watering vid would be nice! (As I know you will talk about each one as you go.

Plant care is definitely self care
Would love the chat with your mom.
Would absolutely watch a video on the cuboard of doom fyi 😉😂😂
I so feel you about plants as mental health care. Also, I would cut the latifolia and make a bushier pot
Have a great vacation! Loved this video💚🪴🌵
Hi Claire! Thanks for the chat 😊

omg i saw you upload this on my lunch break and was so excited to get home and watch! love u!❤❤❤❤
I'd love to see a repot and chat with your mum! Could she play a piece of music for us? :D

Do you rinse pon like you have to rinse LECA before you use it? Can you do a video on pon and LECA?
Thanks!
I finally got an Alocasia Regal Shield yesterday 😊❤ me too

Hi Claire! I actually live in Hershey, PA- home of the Hershey Company! I'd love to send you some!
Beautiful plant! I live in the U.S.
I had Cadbury Dairy Milk on a trip to England- it’s so good 🤤🤤🤤
I love videos like this
I have an irrational fear of gravity 😂
Oh woww! I've never heard of that before. How does that affect you? 😂💚
@@TheJungleHaven it makes being up high challenging bc I'm afraid of falling or .... floating away 🤦🏻♀️🤣
What do you water your plants that you have in pon with?
Since you've had really good success with Pon... What are your thoughts on switching all plants to pon? I've been considering it because of fungus gnats but I'm nervous to make the switch.
Just use hydrogen peroxide
Son hermosas tus plantas
What tips do you have for someone trying to build their planty RUclips channel?
Me and Emma actually just made a full video on this! It's over on our second channel: www.youtube.com/@ClaireAndEmmaUnplanted 💚
OMG you do look like Daisy Ridley😂 loved this Q&A
You and Emma should do an American sweets tasting on your joint channel!
Mine are woodlice, plugholes and swimming pool drains 🤣
Have you got an escape route for your new flat?
That cupboard of chaos is so ADHD. Ask me how I know 😅
I think the one thing that would make me give up plants is if my current collection would somehow die (like most of it, at least)

Also plants taught me patient, which is good cause I'm usually quite impatient

Trying american sweets with emma!!
Maybe do the candy one on a video with Emma? Maybe hard to do one with a repot video since your hands are going to be busy and getting dirty?
Weird how wasps are.. global. I wonder if they buzz with british accents
Love your Videos! ❤
Yes. I've had many surgeries! Unfortunately. But they did help me! One saved my life. So im not going to complain😁
Ummm 🤔No irrational fears I can think of? Fears yes. Irrational no
Keep making your Awesome Videos!

what is the name of the syngonium at the top of the cabinet? i used to have one and can't remember the name of it for the life of me😭
I would love to see you do a video with you at your mum's
Don’t chop back your piece lily anymore it’s stressed enough just give it a feed and not too much bright light and it will be fine.I’m talking from experience.❤
I’d say my strangest fear is that a plane will crash into me. The chances are so small but idk I’ve just always had this fear 😂
I live an hour north of NYC so you'd have a free place to stay by a lake! come visit :)
Umm, is it just me, or is that tendril not twirling clockwise around the cane now and not anti-clockwise?

What's your other channel and what is it about.?
Me and Emma have recently started the channel together: www.youtube.com/@ClaireAndEmmaUnplanted
We're still finding our feet with it, but it's most likely going to be conversations on a variety of topics (mental health, daily life/vlogs, interesting debates etc etc) 💚
