I loooove my prescription sunglasses (also Warby Parker) I used to be mostly a contacts wearer so I could wear sunglasses when driving and now I wear my glasses all the time!
Because one of cats loves to play with those yellow sticky traps when I placed on my pots, I've instead started to only remove the paper one side and placed a trap on the top of the inside of my trash can with tape and it works wonders to tap all flies 😁
Don't let people get you down on what you spend on any particular plant! I appreciate your transparency. Fungus gnats-I've decided this is the time of year when they are more prevalent-hot summer months. I didn't have ANY for like a year. And now I have them in two plants. (Both with De La Tanks…) SO ANNOYING. I water my cactus and euphorbia and succulents too! They *need* it! Especially when they're in pots and can't reach an underground water source. And no rain for mooooooooonths. :(
Just to ease your mind, most clear prescription lenses especially with an anti reflection coating have UV protection. So even if they are not tinted your clear glasses are still helping, just not for glare 😊
I bought a Katchy last fall after you recommended because I had a massive fruit fly infestation after I had COVID and couldn't get the trash out for two weeks. It saved me so much headache! Thank you for featuring it last summer/fall, I am very grateful for it.
I unfortunately also bought a lot of the butterfly sticky traps. I hate them. What I have found is the best way to get the paper off is to start at the bottom lobe of a wing and pull off super slow in a diagonal direction. Which is honestly way more thought than a sticky trap should require
I think I've perfected this technique also xD. my favorite is getting it all peeled up and leaving it on and working on the other side so if I have to touch it I just need to re peel a small spot when i put it down
exackly is also the love and care that seller give to that plant i love to support small bussiness especially people that sell from them home from there own collection thank to that i have over 75 plants 💙💙💙
I don't know if you've ever tried them or not for fungus gnats, but try Mosquito bits!!!! It literally got rid of my fungus gnat problem COMPLETELY, and I didn't even use it on all of my plants. Most people say soak them and then water your plants with that water but I personally like just throwing a little bit of the bits on top of my soil, on a few plants....and so far so good. I'd say out of my 60+ plant collection, maybe 10 of them have the bits in their soil. Haven't seen a fungus gnat in at least 2 months. Give it a try if you haven't!
I won a magic star in a giveaway on a planty FB group I'm in. Didn't think much of her to start with but she is doing really well in my downstairs bathroom and is such an easy plant! She has totally grown on me, her name is Mariah because funnily enough she lives with my white fusion who is a total diva and is called Whitney! All my diva plants get named after a pop diva! I assumed she would be the same so got a diva name too but she hasn't really lived up to it!
I enjoy your videos Indoors or outdoors ,you are a busy plant lover and crafty aswell👍,keep loving and enjoying the lot !! Greetings from Sydney, Australia 💚🪴🌵🌱
Your terracotta wreath is beautiful.....I just got a syngonium frosted heart 3 days ago! Same reaction.... it is my new favorite and stunning in person......such a beauty
Amazon sells off-brand round glue boards for the katchy, that’s what I use to refill both my katchy traps. They’re cheaper and you get more than the katchy brand ones. 😁
That flat mite tip you gave last time…worked!! I put 110-150 degree (very warm but not scorching hot) water in a bucket and dipped my var. wayetii that was looking unwell and not growing at all. After 2 weeks it has 2 new leaves finally! I’m going to try it on my var obovata next.
I did 115° water on some hoya i suspected had flat mites and they all burned 😭 i even used a thermometer and touched the water myself to make sure it didnt feel hot but it still burned them 🥺 i feel like i did something wrong.
Putting plants next to the sink is the best advice! I moved my two bear paw plants there a few weeks ago and they look so much better already ☺ and I really enjoy how you correctly distinguish between patreon and patron 😁 have a great day! 🌻
I treat my plants with Azamax (I order it from Amazon) to treat pests. You just dilute some in water and I maybe only see 2-3 a month. But when I do see them they are very small.
Oh my god! I have the same butterfly sticky traps and I hate them too (same reason, and they're also quite difficult to get in the soil properly). They also stuck to some of my plant leaves and ripped them =( But I ordered a whole bunch and I'm stuck with them!
Hi Becca, I agree with you on the sticky traps, I bought some of the butterflys and it also had some flowers in the same box, they are not my favorite because getting them into a pot is not easy and sometimes they stick to the leaves of my plant because getting them placed in the pot is not fun. I was going to ask you a question about that crocheted pot because everytime I watch one of your videos I see that and wondered if it was a real plant and what kind of plant it was, that is just so cool and I think if I can find the time I will see if I can create one of my own. Thanks for this great video I always enjoy your videos and have fun watching them. I hope that you have a great rest of your week, take care and I will see you soon, sending love and hugs, bye for now. 🥰🤗💜
Agh yep I hate when sticky traps get stuck to the leaves 😭 but yes it’s fake!! Super easy to make them, but this one was given to me by a friend :) haha thanks for watching!
Nematodes for fungus gnats. Get “pot poppers” off Amazon. Little pouches with slow release nematodes. You just place them on the soil for a while and thats it.
I did several rounds of nematodes and it did not work. Only thing that has worked very well was systemic granules. Literally gnats are gone in a week or two.
I'd love to see another reaction video! I think theyre so funny and informative too. I put one of my smallest plants a popsicle stick for a "plank." I was checking on it and the plant came off of it!!! I am so sad but just a cautionary tale-they're delicately attached.
Whoa. the SNS 209 does not ship to 22 states, mine included!!! That is a huge bummer. I wonder why??? Do you have an alternate product that you recommend that is just as good?
Yayyy to a new video! I was having withdrawals 🤣 I really love and appreciate your honesty and openness regarding how much you pay for things. I also appreciate how you point out it’s different for everyone and to make decisions based on what’s best for you ❤️ Thank you for more planty content! Added a few things to my wishlist. Top of the list..macro lense and plantapotty (which is currently sold out 😪).
So glad to have found your channel, I love learning about plants. I've ordered your Tanks soil, I'm looking forward to potting all my new babies in it. :)
I have always wondered.. what lipstick are you wearing? I came for the plants but stay for your personality and style! Would not mind non-plant-related content js... :)
Thank you so much!! It’s called “Muy Caliente” and it’s by Nip Lips. They’re relaunching soon!

Ok, this is way off topic of your video but I trust your expertise and knowledge to help me answer my question: Are Little Hope and Thaumataphyllum Atom the same plant? I have tried researching and can’t get a precise answer for some reason. To the topic of your video, I love love your wreath! That’s just adorable.
Oh dear I’m not great at this stuff but upon a quick search, I don’t think it’s the same thing. The Little hope leaves usually have more curves? The Atom pics im seeing have more round leaves. I could 100% be wrong through - lots of plants have small differences but still remain the same plant. It’s confusing!
@@BeccaDeLaPlants it is so confusing!!! My plant is teeny baby and was labeled Philodendron Atom so it’s really to early to tell by my own observation I mean, at the end of the day, if I like the plant does it matter if Hope and Atom are the same? Yes, because I like to know things 😁😁😁😁😝 But thank you for your time just the same! 🤗🤗🤗
Well, technically, you can. That IS a choice. But you would kill any and everything beneficial in the soil as well as releasing other nasties from the soil itself that are harmful to your plants. If you are going to go to that length, maybe just get De La Tanks soil and start over 😊❤️
@@heathertroynak9041 The beneficial microbes will reappear over time, especially if you use something like worm castings to help it along. The point of sterilizing potting mix is to (a) reduce waste by not throwing out something that impacts the environment to replace and (b) kill any nasties that have been harming the plants that were in it. It's the same as when people boil and reuse sphagnum or perlite. Reducing the impact our hobbies have on the environment is a good thing.
I can't get used to clay pots. I think I may overwater my Monstera just because I water it too often in the clay pot thinking water evaporate so quick. I may get spray paint one day and just paint the pot so I can have peace of mind. Weird, huh?
I really want to buy that 204, I have some thrips in my greenhouse and spider mites. Will this get rid of them or help or is it to late to use this product now that they are living rent free in my home?😅 I have never heard of it but it sounds amazing on what it is.
Honestly I don’t get y ppl r so judgey annoying about what others do with their money…. Like lot of people spend $50 on bag weed every week supporting their neighborhood dealer with nobody giving a shit soo If u wanna buy house plants I still don’t care lol do you girl!
I loooove my prescription sunglasses (also Warby Parker) I used to be mostly a contacts wearer so I could wear sunglasses when driving and now I wear my glasses all the time!
Yess!!! They’re amazing

@@supriyabharati on the butterfly shape? Mine rip every single time
I have had a Katchy for more than a year and just bought a second one. It works great for all kinds of flies and gnats.
exackly is also the love and care that seller give to that plant i love to support small bussiness especially people that sell from them home from there own collection thank to that i have over 75 plants 💙💙💙
omg i ADORE that wreath!!! i want to try making one! can you put in real plants?
I would love to see you go through your wishlist! Maybe even “shop” a wishlist to see some that are available for sale?

Yea I just wait for lowes and HD to get them. I don’t spend over $20 on a plant, and I have a crazy rare plant collection.
I like the vibes of all your videos! 🤣 And I'm excited to teach your patrons to crochet! YAY!
Yes!! I just got prescription sunglasses this year too and I'm so glad that I FINALLY did it! Should have done it sooner.

I Love your content 🌿🌵🌻🌼 beautiful planty things 🌸
I paid 125$ a year ago at one of my favorite plant shops in Mesa, AZ. I’m ok with it it’s doing great
Oh my god! I have the same butterfly sticky traps and I hate them too (same reason, and they're also quite difficult to get in the soil properly). They also stuck to some of my plant leaves and ripped them =(
But I ordered a whole bunch and I'm stuck with them!
I love my 69686 so much, it's the most care free philodendron in my collection and it recently bloomed!! I'm sure you'll enjoy yours, it's beautiful 🥰
There are black sticky traps where you don’t have to see how infested it is
now it's a football euphorbia! xD

I have a thousand of the butterflys too lol.
Aghhh yep 😭
Hi Becca! Why not use up the butterfly sticky traps in the bottom of your catcher!!
Definitely would work for that!!

If it makes you feel better, I've heard of many people baking soil to use in their isopod collections.
Why should we not bake soil in the oven? I see that advice everywhere!
Well, technically, you can. That IS a choice. But you would kill any and everything beneficial in the soil as well as releasing other nasties from the soil itself that are harmful to your plants.
