It's funnyyou talk about the dark corners of the room, I tend to put plants in dark corners but I just throw a grow light over them lol it also brightens the space up and I'm able to keep my plants out of the good living space.
Honestly, I find big plants really intimidating, small plants are much more my thing. Big plants are just hard to move, hard to water, hard to prune, hard to repot, hard to clean, and I feel like I’m losing more if it dies or declines in health.
I have a giant African Milk Tree that I am intimidated by. It has gotten out of control,and too darn big to do anything with. It's about 9 feet tall and six feet across in any direction. If we cut it apart it could easily make 80 new plants. Argh !!!
Schlumbergera - I like them. I have one that is over 80 years old! Just remember to water them like an orchid, and that they are not a "cactus". I keep my old one in orchid type soil - lots of bark and loose stuff. They like to be pruned after the bloom, and trunks will eventually grow woody. They love espoma organic fertilizer and/or organic Fish emulsion. I think your "mash-up" of several kinds of Schlumbergera will be quite a flower show! Have fun!
Usually with snake plants that are super dehydrated like that, you can just keep thoroughly watering it whenever it's dry and it'll eventually perk back up. However, I do also appreciate and enjoy water therapy for snake plants! I've used both methods many times and I've had 100% success with each one. I feel like I've only seen snake plants in water purely for propagation so this is refreshing to see.
We have a family friend whose family has a 120 year old Christmas cactus. The thing is huge and beautiful. It's been passed down from mother to daughter for 6 generations. It's a lovely tradition.
I adore your plant chore videos!! And I learn soo much! Your energy is so vibrant, fun, grounding, and also calming! Thank you for creating plant content so we can all learn to be better plant parents 🙏🌿🌱🌻🌷💗 your plants are looking so great!
my mom had a huge Christmas cactus while I was growing up and I loved it. I didn't even know I was a house plant lover but i came across it again one day and it triggered me to remember how much I loved that plant as a child. I don't know where it is now but I kind of want to get one for myself and propagate one for my mom and we can have the same one :)
Hallo 😊ich würde mehr tischchen vor die Fenster stellen,mit allen 🌱Pflanzen darauf,die jetzt auf dem Boden stehen,dann hast du Platz und kannst deine Monster deliciosa hin und her schieben 🤔vielleicht 😉💚lichen Dank aus Deutschland ich liebe deine videos sehr,du bist so herrlich erfrischend und lustig liebe Grüsse 🤗
I love how you combined some of your smaller babies. I recently did that with my polkadot plants. I had a red, pink, and white, and planted them together in a black pot. I love the chill vibe of it having the same care but the color variety is visually interesting, so I hope you get to enjoy your Christmas cactus in the same way when they bloom!
I got my philodendron birkin from my local plant lady who’s not really into plants bless her. And she sold it so cheap during covid. She also got some variegated plants recently while I was away and she said “yeah I had no idea they were popular, I sold them so cheap.” I love her.
Late to the game I know, but when a plant won’t hydrate like that snake plant, I fill a container with water and Seasol seaweed solution, set the plant in the pot in the solution so that the water mix goes over the top of the pot and leave it there until the leaves start to pump up - could be 5 minutes, could be a day. Works for all my succulents when the soil becomes hydrophobic.
As soon as I saw those birkins on your table I got so excited! They’re my absolute favourite plant and it’s so lovely to see them getting the love and appreciation they deserve! I have a giant one that sits next to my armchair as if it likes having company and it is thriving. :D Also, unrelated: when that bug came out of the strawberry begonia pot, a fungus gnat that I’ve been trying to catch for an hour landed right on my screen and I finally squished it. Perhaps the gnat saw the millipede and wanted a friend 😂 I’m a new viewer but I already really enjoy your videos and I love the chill vibe of these longer, hangout ones. I enjoy the company. ☺️
Hello friend. I'm just learning yo really care for my collection. I've since gotten a few new ones, bay, mothers day and a just because purchase. I'm so loving and learning to properly grow and maintain them, lots of joy. OneLove ❣
Finnally. Someone who appreciates the Birkin like me 😂. I was just sayin I always see ppl just pass on over them like "oh, that's just a Birkin", in all the planty videos lol and I never get it. For me, I love it !!!! It also could be because it was the first plant o got about 5 or 6 months ago that started my plant journey. (Which I'm proudly up to 47 lol), but I find it soooo easy to care for and everytime I look at her she's got a new leaf popping out I recently finnally decided her up into 2 plants and couldn't be more thrilled. Such an under rated plant in my opinion 🤷
Your over-watering salvage maneuvers/info helped me to troubleshoot my strelitzia suddenly taking a nose-dive (literal and metaphorical), and I'm pleased to report that it turned around surprisingly fast and started sprouting a new leaf - and my crossandra, now that I'm thinking about it. When I was originally looking into the crossandra's care, I was super worried about killing the crossandra trying to save it, but it turns out that it (at least mine) is a trooper; when it was given to me, it came with a surprise party of scale, spider mites, and aphids, and after I over-watered it I cut it down from a full bush to just a couple of stems, so the rebound despite all that is wild to me. Thanks again for sharing. o7
Hello! 👋🏽 new to your channel (as of this week), but I thought I’d pop in with a suggestion for difficult little plants that need to contact the soil like your stolonifera: an unfolded paper clip into a U shape. Inexpensive ✅ easy to acquire ✅ reusable ✅ does the thing you need it to do ✅ I use that trick to get some of my vining plants to re-root & fill out the baldness in the pot.
I have a snake plant in Leca and it’s starting to have new growth. It’s fine great and I haven’t lost any of it doing the change over either. They do amazing ♥️
I have three different color varieties of Christmas cactus and have been contemplating on putting them all in one big pot, I think this was the video I needed to give me the push to do it!
@Nica I ended up taking a cutting from all three and potting them together. Most were smaller branches so only one of them bloomed this Christmas. 😅 If you want to give it a try and see how it looks I recommend the cutting route! :)
I enjoyed watching this videos. there were quite a bit of laugh that I got from it . when the insect hot out of the bottom of the pot. obviously you could not see it from that side of the camera and I was wondering how long it would take for you to see it. when that snake Plat flew out of the container while you were giving us a better look was another and also when you were trying to lift that pot both from the store and onto the little push tray. I was thinking how does she expect she could lift it with her tiny self...I laughed in the wee hours if the night wondering if my neighbors heard me. alway like your content and I hope you will choose a name soon for that giant snake plant.
I love my Schlumbergeras! At least, I love them when they've grown out more. The small, more juvenile one's just don't do it for me, but when they are full and the segments start really trailing over the pot, then I think they're super cool looking👌
I bought a small berkin at a grocery store. It is doing beautifully but now it is starting to revert to the Red Congo if sprung from. So fascinating. I also bought a half reverted berkin becuse it was marked down to half and it also very cool looking. It is the red congo on one side of the plant and the green berkin on the other. I was consideing doing a video on it.
Love your videos!! I have a flatmate so I've had to limit how many plants I have haha - love living vicariously though you. Your videos are so fun and informative and thanku so much for normalising all the plant issues you have with lighting/bugs/yellowing leaves and stuff - I find it so easy to panic when my plants act a bit weird so how you deal with these is really reassuring. Thanku!!!
I have five xmas cactus and one is18 years old I have two blooming rt now. This year they’ve bloomed like crazy and I ve never had them do this before.
I just finished repotting my monstera and it was such a struggle. I can't imagine wrestling with your mammoth lol. The crazy thirst you mentioned is so true and surprising because I'm in Canada and we dont' get the amount of sun you guys get.
You're so sweet and funny! I love that you're so genuine. I like to watch your videos in the beginning of the day. Positive vibe for the rest of the day guaranteed! Hope you're having a lovely day! 💚🌼🌻
Just because you need to repot a plant doesn't meen it need to be in a larger container.. It can be root pruned, and some foliage take off of most things. Usually when stuff needs "repotting" it just meens its root bound, and needs root work done to it. It's basically just root pruning.. Trim the bottom, just like you do the top. It's basic maintenance. If a plant is root bound it's very important to sort out the roots when repotting.. Not just drop it into something larger, and hope that fixes the problem.. It makes it worse in the long run.
Hey Kaitlyn, i wanted to let you know that the Operation went well and the Black Forest also helped during the pandemic to fill up my batteries again . The dark , beautiful Black Forest has its special herbs, flowers , scent and mysteries that heals the body and soul if you want to . Regarding your holiday cacti: i inherited mine from a friends momma and she had it forever. It now is over 20 years old and has very corky looking stems at the bottom of the plant. Mine is always relaxing outside here in the forest air on my terrace and is always getting so huge during Summers, gets eaten by snails a lot ( they LOVE LOVE LOVE it 😁) and in Winter it shrinks and looses some foliage again . If you want to propagate it look for little air roots on the leaves and just cut a little stem with minimum two leaves and put it in light moist soil with one leave buried completely in the soil . I hope so much that you find a very suitable new environment for your hooman , plant and doggy family 😁☺😁. Btw i love your purplish elf like plant mommy appearance . Your Videos always make my heart light again and every bit of negativity disappears . Thank you so much sunshine , big hug to you over there in the States from the cooler Black Forest area . Go with the flow Kaitlyn and keep you and your loved ones in Balance. Greetz Matt
You are so funny...whacking that poor little bug!! The attempt to lift the huge pot and the snake plant was funny too!! I could listen to you chatter (really fast) about plants for hours. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos.
So I have been in a stinky mood tonight, just some stupid stuff got me wound up! And this just totally calmed me down:) I love your plant chores videos and that they're so long, I just completely zen out and feel happy again:) thank you!!!!
I think your plants in the house is beautiful like a beautiful forest. You are so high spirit with your plants maybe that's why it looks healthy. THANK YOU for sharing love your house of plants.God Bless
Thank you for making me laugh. It was me working hard and placing everything just like it was and laughing about it. Plants flipping over. Sometimes I have more of a mess
I plan to do the same thing one day with my Thanksgiving cactus. I only have 2 varieties currently, so I'll wait until I get a few more. I love Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter cacti. Jungle cacti are easier for me to care for than the desert kind. I feel for you with the moving issue, I just moved with my 126 plants and that was quite a feat. Investing in some of those large plastic containers was a good idea for my shorter plants so I could stack them in the moving van. Good luck with your snake plant rehab, I'm considering doing the same thing with my Euphorbia.
I stumbled across ur channel and completely feel like your personality and love of plants is so relatable lol I love ur Bmo pillow 🥰🥰 I have also been thinking about working at a plant shop myself lol ur like part of my family I have never met lol keep doing what u do! It’s inspirational and makes me feel like I could have a home full of plants someday lol 💕
Consolidating my plant family has really helped. I also planted a few tall more leggy growing philodendrons with a vining philodendron. As in Horse Head with a P. Bazil. All seems fine.
This video was awesome, definitely not enough likes. Also for the water wicking up the cotton string on your propo babies, try dripping wax on the strings on the side of the pot, it’ll stop the water from going up.
- At some point, I seriously considered to consolidate even different species in one pot 🤣. When I was low on space, I started to use mirrors to direct light where needed. It was better than nothing. - 5:00 that‘s a flower, I think. And personally I would cut it asap, even though it hurts, but with one leaf, it might exhaust the plant. - Transitioning Sansevieria is quite a task. After many hits and misses, I found that it is more effective to cut away all old roots and potential other damage, treat the cuts with H2O2 and let everything dry and heal for a weak or more (dark, warm place where the air is moving constantly), and then re-root it in its new substrate or water. Otherwise the plant has to deal with many new and old infections for a long time. When the bulb starts to look a little silvery, its about time to take action. - 26:32 I write directly on the leaves of my S., what variety it is or what I pollinated it with. Tags somehow always bury themselves in the plants, and when you want to read them, it is a struggle to get them out there without ripping something off. Some people use tape… but I don‘t like how that looks. 28:10 that is maybe a bit too much root space down in the pot. Drainage would be much better… the pot looks like it has no drainage hole which might be a killer for them. Their root system stays rather flat, so there is a potential of overwatering them in such a pot. Their growcycle has phases when they take up absolutely no water. Overwatering guaranteed. Luckily modern hybrids are selected for strength, so they will not die immediately. But they will probably not survive the buildup of nutrients during that time. Schlumbergera natively grew completely hanging. The upward growth of modern hybrids came by selection. Since I saw some purebread Schlumbergera, I changed my mind on liking the upward growth. A swedish hybridizer managed to create one with white blooms that have a red bushstroke over them. Btw. there is a mutation that causes ‚double‘ flowers, that look much fuller. Flowering is photoinduced, but different for the specific hybrid. But there are rumours that they synchronize when planted together. - 39:07 more adrenaline than a gladiator who strangled a lion with just her hands after a long, long fight. 🤣 Thanks again for the great entertainment. ✌️😄
I got what I thought was a Christmas cactus last year around Christmas. After doing some research I think it’s actually a thanksgiving cactus so hoping it will bloom this year! It’s been growing a lot which has been fun to watch!
Fun repotting video,I do that aswell place a few in one planter, specially the Christmas cactus, I have many of them ,they also look great in macrame hangers 💚🌱🌵🪴
I just discovered your channel today and am bi he watching! It’s like having an knowledgeable and warm friend talking directly to me. Thank you for all your effort to put these videos together. I’m a total newbie about houseplants.
You could have just leaned the pot on it’s side and held the tray up to the bottom to see if it fits. You can also lift it onto the tray the same way. Tilt to the side, bring it back down right on top of the tray. You don’t have to actually lift it. Lifting the plant is another story. If you’re not strong enough you might just need help with that part.
I love my christmas cactus. They seem to need very little care. I am fortunate to be able to place mine outside during the summer. I leave them out as long as possible, I feel like some very cool nights induces them to bloom. Usually, by the time I bring them in they have set buds. This year one of my plants bloomed twice!
It's literally difficult to maintain so many plants. I have around 100 plants ( little lesser ) and it's getting difficult for me to maintain all of them. Besides I am a student so I have to do my studies as well so it quite a task to care for my plants. Now, I have decided to keep around 20 and rest I would gift others.
I love your helpful videos, but I think I should comment that San Francisco is my hometown and I’m always trying to see the view from your windows! LOL. Homesickness never goes away. I live in Idaho where it is hot and dry.
I maybe wrong yet I would think that those orange darker roots is due to being root bound an being on the edges will suck up juice quite fast so them being so exposed to air they tend to get woody like Ariel roots. I wish we would look at the center roots on the dark root Burkin to confirm but yea.
Do you have a trick for finding pots for a good price?? You have so many sleek and unique pots I feel like you must have a trick to take them home at a reasonable price! Please share!!
lol you should have tipped the pot on its side and put the tray against the bottom that way !😂 but I agree it definitely wouldn't work under that heavy of a plant
I put a majority of my houseplants outside on the patio about 6 weeks ago- and I saw some signs of pests argggg 🤬 so tomorrow I’m doing a wash treatment and then spray with neem. Idk I want to keep them outside for the summer but I was pretty much pest free occasionally fungus gnat here or there and now I have to treat everything inside and out….
I recently purchased a gigantium because I love watching you adventures with yours! I wonder if you put a regular plastic plamt drip tray under the new pot for the snake plant if it would slide easily. you could add those felt pieces that are sticky on one side. I think with the flooring you have that it might work
Hi!! I like grouping all the flowers together! I cant wait to see the Christmas cactus plants bloom it will be so pretty....thank u for sharing have an amazing week💙💙💙
You are by far the most relatable plant RUclipsr I have ever seen. ♥️
Right!?!
Yes, in the best way possible. I too would have flung that snake plant onto the floor
So smart yet level headed✨
I actually love the idea of planting all the cactuses together. It’ll be a big bowl of color! 🌈🪴☀️
Birds of a same feather…. Pricks with the same kicks
It's funnyyou talk about the dark corners of the room, I tend to put plants in dark corners but I just throw a grow light over them lol it also brightens the space up and I'm able to keep my plants out of the good living space.
I just bought a grow light. Best purchase ever.
Honestly, I find big plants really intimidating, small plants are much more my thing. Big plants are just hard to move, hard to water, hard to prune, hard to repot, hard to clean, and I feel like I’m losing more if it dies or declines in health.
I have a giant African Milk Tree that I am intimidated by. It has gotten out of control,and too darn big to do anything with. It's about 9 feet tall and six feet across in any direction. If we cut it apart it could easily make 80 new plants. Argh !!!
@@artanddebearickson9729 wow, yeah, that’s really impressive, it’s clearly doing very well, how long have you had it?

Bobby-pins are good to stabilize the new plants down in the soil.
I got my philodendron birkin from my local plant lady who’s not really into plants bless her. And she sold it so cheap during covid.
She also got some variegated plants recently while I was away and she said “yeah I had no idea they were popular, I sold them so cheap.” I love her.
??? Are Birkins supposed to be expensive? They sell from $7 - $12 in my area and are in every store.
Late to the game I know, but when a plant won’t hydrate like that snake plant, I fill a container with water and Seasol seaweed solution, set the plant in the pot in the solution so that the water mix goes over the top of the pot and leave it there until the leaves start to pump up - could be 5 minutes, could be a day. Works for all my succulents when the soil becomes hydrophobic.

I love Christmas cactus! 🎉❤
38:06 when you know there's about to be some violence. 😅😅😅
Try hanging Large mirrors behind the plant to reflect that light back at the plant.
Hello friend. I'm just learning yo really care for my collection. I've since gotten a few new ones, bay, mothers day and a just because purchase. I'm so loving and learning to properly grow and maintain them, lots of joy. OneLove ❣
You are correct. Those are all Thanksgiving Catus.
I JUST LOVE UR VIDEOS SO MUCH. I AM SO ADDICTED TO WATCHING YOU PLANT AND YOU ARE EDUCATING ME AT THE SAME TIME. THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING

Hey Kaitlyn, i wanted to let you know that the Operation went well and the Black Forest also helped during the pandemic to fill up my batteries again .
The dark , beautiful Black Forest has its special herbs, flowers , scent and mysteries that heals the body and soul if you want to .
Regarding your holiday cacti: i inherited mine from a friends momma and she had it forever.
It now is over 20 years old and has very corky looking stems at the bottom of the plant. Mine is always relaxing outside here in the forest air on my terrace and is always getting so huge during Summers, gets eaten by snails a lot ( they LOVE LOVE LOVE it 😁) and in Winter it shrinks and looses some foliage again . If you want to propagate it look for little air roots on the leaves and just cut a little stem with minimum two leaves and put it in light moist soil with one leave buried completely in the soil .
I hope so much that you find a very suitable new environment for your hooman , plant and doggy family 😁☺😁.
Btw i love your purplish elf like plant mommy appearance .
Your Videos always make my heart light again and every bit of negativity disappears .
Thank you so much sunshine , big hug to you over there in the States from the cooler Black Forest area .
Go with the flow Kaitlyn and keep you and your loved ones in Balance.

It’s inspirational and makes me feel like I could have a home full of plants someday lol 💕
Omg I mixed my Christmas cacti as well!! 😊 mine will be pink and white ♡
Love how you style your hair with your top 💜
Consolidating my plant family has really helped. I also planted a few tall more leggy growing philodendrons with a vining philodendron. As in Horse Head with a P. Bazil. All seems fine.
The big box stores have heavy duty plant rollers
Great video,,I'm always ready to watch ur videos wen u upload.
This video was awesome, definitely not enough likes. Also for the water wicking up the cotton string on your propo babies, try dripping wax on the strings on the side of the pot, it’ll stop the water from going up.
- At some point, I seriously considered to consolidate even different species in one pot 🤣. When I was low on space, I started to use mirrors to direct light where needed. It was better than nothing.
- 5:00 that‘s a flower, I think. And personally I would cut it asap, even though it hurts, but with one leaf, it might exhaust the plant.
- Transitioning Sansevieria is quite a task. After many hits and misses, I found that it is more effective to cut away all old roots and potential other damage, treat the cuts with H2O2 and let everything dry and heal for a weak or more (dark, warm place where the air is moving constantly), and then re-root it in its new substrate or water. Otherwise the plant has to deal with many new and old infections for a long time. When the bulb starts to look a little silvery, its about time to take action.
- 26:32 I write directly on the leaves of my S., what variety it is or what I pollinated it with. Tags somehow always bury themselves in the plants, and when you want to read them, it is a struggle to get them out there without ripping something off. Some people use tape… but I don‘t like how that looks.
28:10 that is maybe a bit too much root space down in the pot. Drainage would be much better… the pot looks like it has no drainage hole which might be a killer for them. Their root system stays rather flat, so there is a potential of overwatering them in such a pot. Their growcycle has phases when they take up absolutely no water. Overwatering guaranteed. Luckily modern hybrids are selected for strength, so they will not die immediately. But they will probably not survive the buildup of nutrients during that time.
Schlumbergera natively grew completely hanging. The upward growth of modern hybrids came by selection. Since I saw some purebread Schlumbergera, I changed my mind on liking the upward growth. A swedish hybridizer managed to create one with white blooms that have a red bushstroke over them.
Btw. there is a mutation that causes ‚double‘ flowers, that look much fuller.
Flowering is photoinduced, but different for the specific hybrid. But there are rumours that they synchronize when planted together.
- 39:07 more adrenaline than a gladiator who strangled a lion with just her hands after a long, long fight. 🤣
Thanks again for the great entertainment. ✌️😄
I got what I thought was a Christmas cactus last year around Christmas. After doing some research I think it’s actually a thanksgiving cactus so hoping it will bloom this year! It’s been growing a lot which has been fun to watch!
I have my moonshine snake plant in water and it took months for new growth! Roots and baby leaves popping out 💙🌿
Fun repotting video,I do that aswell place a few in one planter,
specially the Christmas cactus,
I have many of them ,they also look great in macrame hangers
💚🌱🌵🪴
I love your plant chore videos. So realistic. Also that purple cardigan is the cutest!!
Beautiful 😊❤👌
Love your videos💚💚💚💚💚💚
I laughed so hard when you squashed the millipede. That was hilarious! I'm so glad you didn't cut that footage. Awesome. LOLOLOL
I just discovered your channel today and am bi he watching! It’s like having an knowledgeable and warm friend talking directly to me. Thank you for all your effort to put these videos together. I’m a total newbie about houseplants.
You could have just leaned the pot on it’s side and held the tray up to the bottom to see if it fits. You can also lift it onto the tray the same way. Tilt to the side, bring it back down right on top of the tray. You don’t have to actually lift it. Lifting the plant is another story. If you’re not strong enough you might just need help with that part.
I love my christmas cactus. They seem to need very little care. I am fortunate to be able to place mine outside during the summer. I leave them out as long as possible, I feel like some very cool nights induces them to bloom. Usually, by the time I bring them in they have set buds. This year one of my plants bloomed twice!
It's literally difficult to maintain so many plants. I have around 100 plants ( little lesser ) and it's getting difficult for me to maintain all of them. Besides I am a student so I have to do my studies as well so it quite a task to care for my plants.
Now, I have decided to keep around 20 and rest I would gift others.
YES! I have been waiting for this upload!!
I love your helpful videos, but I think I should comment that San Francisco is my hometown and I’m always trying to see the view from your windows! LOL. Homesickness never goes away. I live in Idaho where it is hot and dry.
Yes, I think you got it😂
I received a Hoya linearas from planterina that was tied into the pot. I've just left the jute on the pot.
That is one big plant. It’s amazing and beautiful.
This was a lot of fun!👍
I wish my Birkin looked like yours. Mines jsut doesn’t like me. She’s growing but not amazing growth lol.
I maybe wrong yet I would think that those orange darker roots is due to being root bound an being on the edges will suck up juice quite fast so them being so exposed to air they tend to get woody like Ariel roots. I wish we would look at the center roots on the dark root Burkin to confirm but yea.
Do you have a trick for finding pots for a good price?? You have so many sleek and unique pots I feel like you must have a trick to take them home at a reasonable price! Please share!!
Love all your tips and videos. Where can I find a big silver spoon like you use when repotting plants?
Great plants, lovely hair too. Carn’t help looking in background at the birds have you made them ? Xx
Girl I love all your videos i have learned so much from you
GIRL I think the castors on that tray need an extra hard push to click down into place and it’ll be more level ❤️
lol you should have tipped the pot on its side and put the tray against the bottom that way !😂 but I agree it definitely wouldn't work under that heavy of a plant
I put a majority of my houseplants outside on the patio about 6 weeks ago- and I saw some signs of pests argggg 🤬 so tomorrow I’m doing a wash treatment and then spray with neem. Idk I want to keep them outside for the summer but I was pretty much pest free occasionally fungus gnat here or there and now I have to treat everything inside and out….

I recently purchased a gigantium because I love watching you adventures with yours! I wonder
if you put a regular plastic plamt drip tray under the new pot for the snake plant if it would slide easily. you could add those felt pieces that are sticky on one side. I think with the flooring you have that it might work
Your Birkin is so beautiful
looks like i’m early this time so i don’t have much to say on the video yet 😄 hi!! 💜
hi Maria thanks for watching😊💜✨💕
I been getting a lot of millipedes in my plants too! Lol they freak me out 🤣
Hi!! I like grouping all the flowers together! I cant wait to see the Christmas cactus plants bloom it will be so pretty....thank u for sharing have an amazing week💙💙💙
💚💚💚💚
Love the video ❤️
Make your own pot stand with heavy duty castors!
Love your videos ! Btw, where did you get your BMO pillow from ???? IT'S SO COOL
So funny😂😂
I had thought maybe the roots of the birkin were orange because of the rojo Congo having red in it.
very fun video~ hope the move goes well!!
