I'm going to buy my very first plant ever and I'm kinda nervous ngl so this video was really helpful thankss :]
Ooo how exciting!! Don't be too scared. Plants want to live! And if it dies, that's okay! Just try again 😀 you got this!!
Congrats on reaching 1k subscribers!! You deserve it completely!!!
Ahh thank you so much!!! 🥰 you have no idea what that means to me!
my newest is a Venus fly trap, but ive been going crazy with snake plants and pothos. I did just order some ficus tho, so excited!
Oh dang that's so cool!! Fungas gnat killers! Haha I love snake plants n pothos..so easy and there are soo many different kinds!!
@@planttherapiiRight?!? Why must plant collecting be so expensive?! If I could every inch of my house would be covered in plants lol
Seriously!! Hahaha I'm slowly but surely working on it 😂
Wow. They're so gorgeous. Those foliages are indeed so adorable.
Thanks! The big box stores have been coming in hot 🔥
Hi Madison! I made a leaf cleaner recipe that uses Castile soap and I really find it does smell pretty funky indeed and the worst part about it is that it leaves the grossest white residue on leaves especially Alocasia leaves! After that fail for a recipe, I went back to my other trusty leaf cleaning concoction of water, rubbing alcohol, dish soap, neem oil, and a few drops of tea tree for cleaning my leaves. Yucky dr Bronner's lol. I even tried it to wipe it off multiple ways and it was really really difficult to get the white residue off it even made a white residue in the kitchen sink!
Oh dang!! I hate when that happens!! I didn't even think about that! And I would never think to use rubbing alcohol either, that's so smart!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️
@@planttherapii Rubbing alcohol is the best! Especially for mealy bugs!! Ewwww fuzzy little buggers hehe. If I happen to not have the other ingredients, my base is water, alcohol and and dish soap. I only added the neem and tea tree because i had it hanging around :)
That's awesome. I've only had one mealy bug situation so far (that i know of) and alcohol totally worked! I never thought to put that in a cleaning solution tho. That will definitely be added next time!!
My newest babies are Heartleaf fern and a Philo Sqamiferum! Loving them so far! 🥰🙂
Ooo 😍 congrats on your new babies! The squami is on my list! Haha I love me a heartleaf fern but they don't feel the same way about me lol. Happy growing!!
@@planttherapii thanks! I'm hoping I can do right by the fern!
@@codielane9787 just don't skip a watering! 🤣
thank you for the informational video! when you rinse the soap/water solution off the plants in the shower, how do you angle the plant? as in, do you just let the shower water go into the pot, or do you hold the plant upside down?
Ah! Great question!! I angled it slightly (at like 45°) so I wouldn't spill the soil or soak it too much. But I wasn't worried about getting some soapy water into the soil:)
@@planttherapii thank you!
Of course! I hope that helped 😃
New watcher here! Lovely plants! Looking forward to catching up with your videos!
Hey! Thank you and welcome!! 🥰
Love your two new beauties!
Thanks!! I'm digging them! I did do a rescue repot of the Xanthosoma though. The plugs were wrapped in the weird garden wrap stuff lol
@@planttherapii I have had many suffer and die because of those wraps!! It makes me mad that I could have saved some from dying and to find out it was that gauzey stuff strangling them....glad you found them and got it out of there! I see more and more of that! I hste to repot so soon but it is so common now!
Oh I know me too! I had no idea. It seems so strange. We gotta spread the word I guess! Haha check your plants!
Wow beautiful plants 🪴
