Autistic ADHDer with a passion for plants! 🪴(or is it a special interest 🤪)
Hey, hi, hello! Welcome to my little corner of the internet, I am so pleased you're here! 🪴
My names Amy and I love houseplants! Here on this channel we will be talking all things houseplants whilst I learn to manage life with ADHD and Autism.
I was diagnosed with ADHD (combined type) last year and after a lifetime of feeling like a f*ck up things started to make sense; but the diagnosis brought more questions too and I realised I’m actually Autistic as well! This hasn’t been officially diagnosed yet, but I’m 100% convinced and self diagnosis is valid 🫶
If you like houseplants, have adhd and/or autism, are curious about neurodivergence, or just enjoy being nosey into another persons life, tap that subscribe button and step into my neurospicy, chronically overwhelmed, houseplanty world 🪴
Thank you so much being here,

I love your glasses.
Thank you! I have a few different pairs 🥸
I love everything you got. So awesome.
Thank you so much! I’m super excited to style the items 🥰
Love all of those new planty showcasers!! Those bowls as a terrarium, love i!! You need to film your plant room, sounds so cutesy. Hope you're well Amy
Ah thank you so so much! I’m really excited about the terrarium bowl 🤭 glad someone else can see the vision! 😅 I know I do! I’m so excited to share it with you all but it doesn’t feel ready yet! Maybe I just need to bite the bullet and go for it!
@@perkyplantsabsolutely, just do it!! Defo do the pingdom, I’ve been wanting to do one too but need to order some pings but they are always out of stock 🤦🏼♀️ My stick weirdo that I got from you is doing so well, it rooted really well and is growing new “sticks” I love it and can’t wait for it to get bigger!! Hope you are well and through the rough part of burnout. You definitely come across more yourself these last few videos “, sending love from one ADHD/ASD weirdo plant lover to another 🥰
Wow! Before watching rest of the video, just the new anthurium leaf behind you and your outfit matching to the core🎉 now back to the video
Haha thank you! It was unintentional but I did notice it in the viewfinder when I was filming 🙈 it’s a gorgeous new leaf!
Morning Amy! Love the haul! And I instantly thought of pings in that bowl. I have the cyclosecta and its under bright lights and it is purple AND blooming 😊 Have a super week and can't wait to see what you do! Love the bowls together 👍🎉
Thank you Petra! 😍 maybe mine just isn’t getting enough consistent light to be purple! It’s on a windowsill so maybe it need to go under a growlight 🤔 thank you for watching! 💕
Nice haul. I love the shelves. You’re right there are so many ways to decorate it. Can’t wait to see what you do with it.
Thank you! I can’t wait either, I really need to sort the plant room out so I can properly decorate 🙈🤭
One of my favorite places to buy plants in the UK
🤩
the Hoya Rangsan variegation is stunning 🤩
Isn’t it just beautiful?! I’m so excited to watch it grow 😍
Just bought a Cerrii cutting after seeing this… marketers dream, me! 😂
😂 I love this for you! It’s such a gorgeous lil Hoya
Amy ..Very nice.I get to know new things in your video.I love watching your videos
Thank you so much! I love having you here ☺️
❤
Nice Hoyas…enjoy!! 😊 Im trying to hold off for a while until I get a 2nd Ikea Milsbo tall cabinet. 😊 one luxury leads to another luxury. 😅
Ohhh! How exciting! I’d love a milsbo tall but currently have no space for it 😭 but think of all the plants you can get when you do have it! 😲
I have collected 30 something hoya in 11 months.
I love that for you! 😍
I look forward to watching these beauties grow in your collection.. I am not buying anymore plants. My house can't take it.. 😁
Me too Petra! Can’t wait to see how they grow and I really want to see the blooms 🥹🤭
@@perkyplants oh I would love to see blooms! The only hoya that blooms for me is my bella.. at least my orchids are coming into blooming season 🎉
Alocasia Scalprum becomes darker as it grows bigger. A young Scalprum does not have dark leaves. The older the plant, the darker the leaves.
Ah thank you so much for this information! 🖤
Hi so I have a few caudex and am struggling with watering. How do you know when they are ready to be watered?
Hi Elizabeth! I think it really depends on the growing season for each individual plant as to how often you should be watering. In my experience if the plant has leaves, they will droop when it needs a drink (however if it is going into the plants dormant season the leaves may droop and die off and it’ll be important to know that because you could over water at this time as the plant won’t need water as frequently during its dormant period (if at all)). Which caudex plants do you have that you’re struggling with? 🌱
Interesting!
Thank you! I certainly think so 🤭
Very Nice Your work is great
Thank you very much!
I love these plant walk-through types of videos, you have beautiful collection!❤
Me too! I always click on them when I see other planty people do them so I figured I’d film my updates video this way too 🤭 much easier than pulling all the plants out as well 😅 thanks for watching! X
❤❤❤
🫶 thanks for being here!
Hello. Would love to hear more about the care for your Linearis. I saw your repot where you put two together in PON. Would like to know your watering and fertilising schedule. I don't know how you look after so many plants
Hey! I wish I could give you a schedule of how I care for it but it’s definitely one of my more neglected plants 😫 I chuck some water in it when I realise it’s dry (and I mean like bone dry! 😣) I don’t always notice when it dries out because the pot it’s in is up higher and the plant covers it completely and it isn’t the most vocal plant! So, I barely water it 🫣 and with that I rarely fertilise it through watering, however! Recently I have been spraying all of my Hoyas with orchid mist again, this is something I used to do religiously and hadn’t for ages! I’m certain that’s the only reason why my Linearis and Polyneura are pushing blooms at the moment 🌸
@@perkyplants It's so funny how people have such different experiences with plants. I'm sure it's down to environment. I have found this plant very difficult but working on some cuttings now. I have recently put some in PON as I have always had your post in my mind and I find it such a thirsty plant. Thanks for taking the time to reply, I really appreciate it.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment in the first place! 💕 I agree, environment definitely has a huge impact for sure! I also think plant genetics has a huge part to play. I feel like any time I talk about the Hoya Linearis it’s a 50/50 split of people either finding it super easy or incredibly hard! I really do think it comes down to the general wellbeing of an individual plant sometimes (or a batch of plants if they come from the same generic line of that makes sense?!), it’s not always something we can fix. I really hope the cuttings take off for you 🤞🤞🤞
@@perkyplants thank you 🌻
🤩🤩
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Where did you get your glasses?
Thank you! My glasses are from Zeelool 🤓 I have several different pairs from them 😅
Ohh I feel your struggle... been there at the beginning of this year, after 6 months of sick leave I have the feeling, I am still in the adjustment process 😅 but it is getting better. You go girl! Take your time and be patient with yourself. Sending you big hugs and greetings from Germany ❤
It’s such a big adjustment isn’t it, especially when you’re trying to avoid it happening again 😫 it’s like learning to work in a whole new way! 😣 thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment 💕 appreciate you 💕
The biophytum is also known as jurassic sensitive plant and just because of that I think it would be perfect for the dino pot 😂
Oh my goodness! This is a fantastic suggestion! 🦕 thank you! 🦖
Great to see you!!
Thanks for being here lovely! 💕
Love how normal you are! Just feels like you're chatting away and I love that! 😄
🤭 thank you! I actually love this comment so much 🥰 i really was just chatting away 😂
Great to see you again! You’re doing amazing dear ❤
Thank you so much! Appreciate you! ✨
Perfect timing! I am digging up some stuff from the outside garden and needed a break.
Ah I do like to have good timing! 🤪 how is the digging going?! X
@@perkyplants I have alot of hostas that need divided. Garden is feeling better but my nails are bad! 🤣🤪
Oh no 😂🙈 I do love a hosta though! 😍
@@perkyplants if we even lived in the same country I could share.. Glad you’re doing better ❤️❤️
Ah bless you, thank you lovely x
Ah there you are Amy! Right when I’m bored and can’t find a good video I want to watch. ❤ Instant click.
Oh bless you Mandy! Thank you so much for clicking, I’m very happy to keep you company 🥰
love them ! i wonder into which shapes we can manipulate them to grow in
Right?! I reckon some of them could be manipulated into some really interesting shapes!
Very nice
Thank you!
Love them all, they all look fab! 😊 I've bought dioscorea elephantipes seed from eBay for about £5 for a pack of 8 and all have taken (some have since been gifted). Love that plant, it's so funky. HarliG has some truly fab plants. After one of her cacti in the UK that I think it's called a bone or dead man's bone cacti. It's a hanging one but a lot of the stuff that people have across the pond are stupendously difficult to find here in the UK.
Oh wow! All 8 grew?! That’s so cool! Urgh you’re so right! They have so many cool plants over there that are impossible to find here! But!!! I know the exact plant you’re talking about, it’s one I’ve been looking for too and literally ordered it the other day! It’s a Hatiora salicornioides aka dancing bones cactus or drunkards dream cactus. If you type in Hatiora salicornioides into Etsy you should see a listing for one from a shop called Uplicot! They have a couple of different sized rooted cuttings and a couple of different sized potted plants! Really hope you see this in time to nab one 🤞
@@perkyplants that's fab, will definitely be snagging one if there's one left! Cheers for letting me know. Now just to find Nick Pileggi's schefflera Actinophylla Nova. Can only find the Nora version in the UK and it's not the same. Completely different leaf shape
Hello Amy from PR!! What an awesome collection!! I have several… 😊
Hi Nina! Thank you and thanks so much for watching! What’s your favourite from your collection?
I need all the caudex plants now 😂
Yes, yes you do! 😂
Oooo, that elephantype not on the hanger is sooo cute!!! I have a pony tail palm-is that a caudex plant?? It is in pon & loving life!!! Xx
I think they are considered caudex plants yes! I forgot to add mine into the video 😫🫣
I want some caudex plants. I have a money tree unbraided.
Oo does it look really cool and windy?!
@@perkyplants kinda but it's a small one.
@@perkyplants kinda it's a small one.
I bet it’s adorable!
Great video! Love the caudex plants 😁
Thanks Kim 🥰 I love them so much! So glad you do too!
Very nice video. Your choice of plants is good..My favourite in your collection is the spiralis one.
Thank you! The spirallis is a very good plant
Definitely interested in your weirdo plants wish list! ❤
Yay! There’s so many 😂🙈
Great video! I have the Sinningia leucotricha and it won't give me any leaves. I give it water every week. It's under grow lights. Any suggestions
Oh no! I haven’t had mine a full year yet so I’m not 100% sure but I think they grow their leaves in spring? Mine haven’t given me any new leaves, these are the ones they arrived with. I know they might lose them over winter or I might chop them back if they start to look a lil meh 🙈
Ive just resubscribed for my little bug army too as I’ve been tackling thrips. I sprayed my entire collection with spino in the summer and repeated on the main culprits and didnt see any for ages and all of a sudden I’ve been finding the buggers again and so the bugs will be back this week to help me eradicate the bloody things. I only ever find adults, I think I've only ever seem larvae once but somehow they manage to pop back up so they must hide in the substrates!! Also aphids have been my biggest problem this year, they are so difficult to get rid off, I dont think my plants have had so many showers with dish soap so I’ve got some horticultural soap coming too so 🤞🤞🤞
Oh bless your plants! What a nightmare 😫 you're very dedicated, I definitely wouldn't have managed to wash my plants as many time as you have! I've only had aphids a handful of times and have not struggled to get rid of them, I don't think I've ever had more than 3/4 on a plant at a time, I squish them or wash them off (depending on how juicy they are 🤢😅) and then check all of the undersides of the leaves for any eggs and scrap them off if I see them. Thrips are a bledy pain though, depending on the type they have different life spans, they eggs get implanted into the leaf tissue so can't be wiped away and you're right sometimes the larvae do fall off the leaves/stems after they hatch and chill in the substrate for a bit before climbing back up to the plant - such a nightmare. but that buggy army will definitely help! I'm sure of it 💪
Amy you look happy ❤❤❤ and I don’t have any caudex because I don’t have any space.. 😂😂 I have to move my big plants from the dining room so the family can eat at the table 😂😂😂🤪
Thank you Petra 🥰 and oh no! 😂🙈 don’t your family want to eat amongst a jungle?! 😂🙈
@@perkyplants haha! Well they don’t complain but its a bit crowded 😂
😂🙈
Love caudex plants. Some of my favorites. Phyllobolus Resurgens Trichodiadema Bulbosum Caudex-Pelargonium appendiculatum Phyllanthus Mirabilis, Petiopenta natalensis
The Phyllanthus mirabillis is on my wish list, desperate for one of those! I’ll have to check out the others you’ve mentioned, I don’t recognise their names but that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen them 🙈 sometimes plant names are just a bunch of letter in my head until I can allocate them to an image of that plant in my head then I attempt to read the name / learn to say it 😂
They are very very cute and I like idea of them but not sure about the dormancy period think it would upset me
Ah yeah I can understand that, I’ve always been put off by a dormancy period too but I’ve tried to reframe it a bit in my head; loads of our plants have slower growing/no growth seasons but we don’t necessarily consider them ‘dormant’ and that’s helped me shift my thinking a bit. The plants where the dormancy period requires them to be unpotted and put in a dark dry place isnt for me though I don’t think! I feel like I’d forget about them completely 😂🙈
I never thought of the Pachira Aquatica as a caudex plant! Now I want one. 😂 My favourite in your collection is the spiralis one. So cute! And of course the Sinningia because who doesn’t love a soft fuzzy leaf.
I know! I hadn’t thought of it as one either for a long time! The spirallis is super adorable and honestly every leaf petter needs a sinnigia in their life 🤭
I LOVE LOVE them all! They have such character.
They really do don’t they? So quirky and unique 😍
