Ebuka coming hard with the truth again! I took your advise a few weeks back and got rid of the 4 plants in my collection that always give me anxiety and hardly ever give me any joy anymore. Just chucked them out. Cut them up and chucked them out. The sense of relief and the fresh, lighter feeling in my home is huge. I still have 60 plants left, but it's remarkable how much of a difference in my mood it has made to finally get rid of those 4 plants that were just hanging on, dying 0.5% more every day and me doing everything I could to keep them alive. Ebuka, you might not always tell us what we want to hear, but you tell us what we need to hear. Bravo sir, bravo.
I find it much easier to get rid of friends than plants!!! I was procrastinating today about watering all of my millions of plants…..so instead I went out & bought some more half dead ones on clearance!! The struggle is real!!!
U r nutts. We have 2 get u n2 plant therapy. 🤣🤣🤣 I exercised extreme self control 2day @ Home Depot. I looked & bought nothing. I only have 18 plants & it feels like I have 100. I'm giving my mom 3 of them next week.
Stop acquiring... easier said than done. When the outdoor gardening season grinds to a halt, what do garden centres do? They stock up on house plants ;-)
I think it's probably dang good advice to consider buying plants that will survive best in one's *worst* season. Then, of course, they will likely flourish during the best ones. Cheers from Iowa, MPD
There is just two more pieces of plant material I need to get for winter and that is two sticks for my snowmans arms ☃️😂 😂😂... Who am I kidding I don't go outside in the winter 🥶
I have water propagations ready to plant and they heard every thing you are saying! They just wispered to me *get to work* ! Also, i must tell you whenever i get new growth on one of my plants, i tell it *look at the material* 💐💐💐
Tiffany Pollard is the gift that keeps on giving. Love the green shirt, Ebuka! And I agree as always, let go if they aren't bringing joy. They don't pay bills here!
I swear TMPD might have my house under surveillance camera's cause I spent this morning repotting 2 starfish sanserveria's and putting together my winter plant emergency kit. I have had great luck this week and found two orchids on clearance so I was moving those chics into new happy planters. Anyone else love finding plant rescues?
Oh my gosh Ebuka, Caribbean girlie residing in Canada, I've been giving my dwarf banana plant the side eye because leaves have started yellowing lately as the weather's changing, you came for us hard today 😂🤣😂 wake up call 😂
Greetings You tagged me on your first point. Procrastinating. I love when that notepad comes out even if I get zapped throughout. I do live in an area where we get all four seasons so very timely and humorous video. Thank you 😊
I’m in North Carolina U.S.A. I love your videos even though our climate is so different, your talks and lectures are much needed. I bought in the outside plants because it was 40 degrees this morning. I repotted much needed plants, I edited out the plants that were holding on for dear life. I need you to stop talking directly to me. lol.
@@TheMillennialPlantDad u should. You’ll either love it or u might want to run back to Nigeria but once u dress right for the weather u really don’t even feel the cold. 😂🥰
Very good advice!! And maybe you can (if you haven't already) do a video on why people continue to purchase more plants than they can care for!! Why do they do that? :)
Lord yessss...I see so many people buy buy buy and buy more plants but forgot to water half their collection in the back bedroom....I'm just like why ....people continue to waste money and products on plants they have that they actually hate .. hmmm.... confused much
You are a breath of fresh air! Love your videos. I am retired and I have quite a fair amount of time to devote to my plants (over 100 in 450 sq. ft.) And yet. Chores have been left wanting, I bought 20 or so new (baby) plants, and there is untidiness a foot. I did get rid of 10 or so big plants and installed grow lights. I am only human, I'm doing my best. By the way there is no more buying of plants until spring. You believe me, right?
Great video 😂 I live in Michigan, and my plants all thrive and do pretty well in the winter in my house. I'm going to enjoy the collection I have and enjoy my winter 😂
That’s what I’m doing. Managing the plants I have. You speak truth. Albeit, the grocery store is selling Thai Constellation for $29.99. I brought one and one for my daughter. 🪴Happy Planting🌿
Ugh 😣 I need to re pot my plants! I am out of containers! So expensive. Waiting to find free pots ! lol, I’m sweating here also ! So hot ! Got up at 6:30 to do my plant and house work! Preach !
Hell yeah I'm going to wait until January until I repot my big euphorbia's. 😎The real question is, did Mr. Abiodun deliver your dining set yet?!?! BRB, going to get more plants at the supermarket. They have braided up sansevieria's I want to unbraid and save.
Thanks Ebuka …you gave me permission to be honest about those plants I’m not feeling and let them go…also never saw a copper tone snack plant before… it was my last purchase this year… God Bless you
Calling me out as usual I see 😂 buuut i know I gotta put up the grow light that's been sat in a box for two weeks, bin the micans and try to embrace winter ❄️

Or perhaps you prefer me to say Girlie, in which case I say "Bravo girlie, Bravo, I take my hat off to you, babes" 😉
Oh oh love this for you!! Truly letting go can be the best thing you do and sometimes it is needed. Thanks for watching. I am so pinning your comment
Throwing out my ring of fire and pink princess right now lol.
@@wanderotter4667 Go for it! 👍
The way he walked in...I can tell Dad isn't mad, he's just disappointed in us. 😬🤣
Stop complaining about things that cannot change. This is the definition of sanity! 💚💕💚

Oh wow. This message was right on time for those of us who keep procrastinating. Thank you
😅😅 well glad you got the message loud and clear , let’s get to work on those chores!
O no, the note pad came out!!!😅
Yep, the whole video was aimed at me 😅😂.

You are so welcome! 🤗

😂😂 it’s amazing how we plant people rationalize buying more plants but I feel you !!
Thank you I needed to hear this ❤

Yup yup yup! I have learned this the hard way and it has made me enjoy gardening regardless of the season
OMG you know me too well Ebuka! This is so me hahaha! Thanks I needed this! ;)
🤭🤭 glad you enjoyed watching 😅
There is just two more pieces of plant material I need to get for winter and that is two sticks for my snowmans arms ☃️😂 😂😂... Who am I kidding I don't go outside in the winter 🥶
🤣🤣 yes sticks do count as plant material

Also, i must tell you whenever i get new growth on one of my plants, i tell it *look at the material* 💐💐💐
Plant girlie.
lol yes get to work girlies and I screamed at look at the material 🤣🤣🤣

Ebuka have you gotten your furniture, that man is joking I will have to give him a call😂❤😂😅 all the way from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I still haven’t gotten it and he is demanding I pay him more ! Isn’t that just insane ??
@@TheMillennialPlantDad.I pray he will deliver your furniture. Lord have mercy,didn't you agree on price, that's so unfair

You tagged me on your first point.
Procrastinating. I love when that notepad comes out even if I get zapped throughout. I do live in an area where we get all four seasons so very timely and humorous video. Thank you 😊
Let’s face it , we are all procrastinating on one thing or the other but a little reality check is needed from time to time
Stay safe from that hellfire babe! I’ll send you a package of snow to cool down. 😂
lol i certainly wouldn’t mind at all

I love love love winter. It’s nice and cozy and my 100 plus plants love it too.🥶☃️🤣🤣😂But seriously u just get used to it. 🤣
I would like to experience winter, atleast once and that’s it . Lol 😂
@@TheMillennialPlantDad u should. You’ll either love it or u might want to run back to Nigeria but once u dress right for the weather u really don’t even feel the cold. 😂🥰

Just got my coffee!! Go on 😅
🤣
So accurate! Now that I have kids, the only plants allowed in our house MUST be low maintenance are they're goners. 😝
Perfect video, with everything that needed to be heard. I live in Canada. I've already been following some of your advice!
☺️☺️ thank you! Glad you enjoyed it
I feel attacked. Stop procrastinating on those plant 🪴 chores 🤔😩🤷🏽♀️😭🤣

Aww such a lovely comment . And yes it’s also important to go at your own pace at the end of the day . Do i believe you ? Lol noooo 😂

Sounds like such a great and cozy plan 🥰
I am even surprised when annuals stop looking good 😂 The notebook knows all the things!
Oh dear Lord 😂😂

Not a bad purchase. I went 2 a nursery last week & they wanted over $100 for a Thai C I bought 4 $25 @ BJ's.
Thank you ❤
