- Many of you tell me on a weekly basis how much you love long videos so I hope this one is long enough for you 😆 This week of was an interesting one, as I (not intentionally) filmed during a really weird mental health week and decided to just roll with it and take you along with me. Overall it was a pretty chill week, nothing like last time with plant events and lots of friends, but still had a pretty packed to-do list. Hope you enjoy this one!

Just told my mum she can’t have the tv for 3 hours and she asked if it was a plant video lol
Loved watching these chores while doing mine. One tip I learned from April at Unsolicited Plant Talks - it’s best not to leave a Hoya vine pointing down when trellising. It won’t put out growth from that point and will instead shoot out new growth at the last point before it starts turning down. However, if you turn it down the trellis and circle/ wrap the end around so it is pointing up again, this tricks the plant and it grows as it should from that vine. I have tested and found this to be true on multiple of my trellised Hoyas. Hope this helps/makes sense!
thanks for the video, helped me get out of my own little runt. Don't ever apologize for how you feel we all have our moments .
I just want to say thank you for sharing your bad days, too. I struggle so much with my depression and when you started this video I felt like I wasn't alone. I'm also very glad to see that it passed and you're back in a better place. Thank you. Also, I love your long videos for when I do my nails or work my plants. Lol! It's fun to hang out!
I watched the part where you were very depressed, and just here to say that I appreciate the presence of you as an internet person to be depressed on camera. Because all your thoughts are literally the same for me like I don't have enough motivation, and such. And they made me re-realise that those thoughts are the same, meaning it doesn't derive from my true self but the depression only. Thanks, I really appreciate your video
I will slow watch it. So by the time I finish, the next video will be up! Thanks for spoiling us with these long video! ♥️
You mentioned bpd a while ago, like you and your doctor were thinking it’s a potential diagnosis for you. I have bpd and adhd. And I relate a lot to how you describe your struggles. The depressive episodes, the self critique blasts and rage. I think part of why I appreciate this channel is not only your take on a plant hobby but also because I love channels that make me feel less dysfunctional.
Hope you are having a good day
So I fall asleep watching your videos most nights. And I just got up (late day for me) and got my coffee and did my morning check and turn on my grow lights, and I was taking a few pictures of my babies and one of my favorite plants-my Cuprea. I turned the leaf around and it is COVERED in spider mites! Again!
And I’m the background I hear you talking about treating for SM and you were like “I need to keep a physical log or something.”
Yeah. I’ll be doing that today. 😩
“I’ll take three balls instead of no balls!” 😂 agreed.
Charmaine, I’m so sorry that you are and have been feeling so down. I remember those days. I wish you only happy days but know I’m here for you. It’s good that you feel safe here on your channel to talk about it. Let it out. But thoroughly enjoy your days when you feel better. You are my favorite you tuber to watch cause you’re real about how you feel.
Love your videos, the Hoyas. Vines need to be facing up or they will die, unsolicited plant talk has a great video on trellising Hoyas where she explained why, just don’t want your newly trellised Hoyas to die ❤
It is like you're having my thoughts and feelings. It's so eerily identical to my frustrations with my love for plants. I want to feel good about them every day, but some days I get so depressed that I can't even take care of myself w/o guilt.
Pudge hanging over the sofa to watch you filming is so freaking cute 💓
Love these long videos. You keep me company while I'm doing chores. Can relate to a lot of what you talk about here and I'm so glad you do talk about it. Hang in there and give Pudge smoochies from me.
I've always enjoy your informational videos! I'm praying🙏🏿for you. Be encouraged!
The whole talk about your depression I 100% understand. The part when you said you used to have bad anger issues is like me now after having depression, little things that wouldn't usually bother me will send me into a rage like it was the worst thing in the world even though it was just like the bedroom door started to swing back a little when I push it open or something. Depression really does just change your entire mind when you have a bad day/week
The whole part when you showed us and talked about the plant balls just sent me, took me out!! I can’t! 😂❤
“ I just want to pop them they are so cute
I wish they all grew balls
But you know what
I’ll take 3 balls over no balls!!”
🤣😂 Girlll I love it here I had to replay that part only 100 times lol
Since the was no upload for Saturday 15 April 2023, I randomly chose this video to rewatch 27:02 hit me. I am overwhelmed at work and this video gave me some sort of strength to push.
I love your long videos. It’s nice to chill and listen to them while I do my own plant chores!
Yes yes yes im gonna knit with this playing for 3 hrs
It took me three days to finish this video but MAMA WE MADE IT
I love you for who you are and what you bring on UA-cam, you give me so much inspiration about plants and being so authentic and your true self, you feel like a friend, thank you 💕
Love the little pillow, so cute.
Hoping better days come sooner rather than later for you ❤️
For that pon scoop you love, that looks very much like you could just cut a piece of PVC pipe at an angle and make 2 yourself with one cut! I would bet that the fellas at your preferred hardware store could take care of it for you in a snap, otherwise you can snag a jigsaw at Princess Auto for real cheap and just use some ratcheting bar clamps and cut some yourself if you don't have access to a table saw or band saw. 👍💚
Wow your Hoya Obovata looks amazing 🤩 i only have the variegated one and it seems to take ages to grow new leaves maybe variegated plants in general takes longer. Your week to do plants long videos I always wait when i am doing house chores or cooking dinner i watch them or late at night when i am chilling with snacks. Since they are like watching a film. Philodendron White Princess it can also give you pink leaves too. I was told the white parts can get discoloured since cannot photosynthesis only the green parts do. My one is a large plant with larger leaves and have given me pink leaves. I didn’t like the white parts keeps getting discoloured so in the end i sold it. They are high investment plants worth especially if it has pink leaves can sell higher. I am just sticking with Alocasia now but starting to fall out of love with my Dragon Scale and Sinuata cause of the yellowing leaves. Also the Scalprum leaves kinda curl like a taco and gives me some yellowing too even though is being watered regularly not given up on this one since i saw yours fell in love with it.
Your hoyas look amazing!!! Love the chill vibe of your videos 💚✌️☮️
I accidentally had the settings on 1.25 speed and didn't realize it so my reaction you your fast talking was "OKAY SPEEDY GONZALES how much caffeine did she have" LOL
Three hours!!! 🙌😳
Thankfully it gives me something to watch all week! Thanks for sharing your time with us 💚
This video was perfect I had a LONG road trip and watching this on the drive made it so much easier. Lol.
I appreciate you sharing your feelings
orchid spray also works wonders on rhipsalis!!
Stuck in bed today and SO glad theres a lot of fresh content to watch ❤️
You sure don’t need to put makeup on for me. Your beautiful friend and you just need to realize that. Love you girl and your videos too
Thanks for sharing what plant lovers go through. I am smiling through out the whole video feeling that I am watching myself
I think we all have feelings like this at some time. It’s good knowing you are not alone.
My plants always give me a lift.💚💚💚
Your videos are 👍🏽💚
Omg so cool I had to get a poring mat kit to get my scooper, I had to have mine to. Lol but those trellises omg nice, I don’t do trellises either but I’d try those
looks so lovely a good idea with stones.
Thank you Charmaine 😊 for this long video. A week of plant to-do's 🤩 are my favourite's 🙏🙏🙏
Hi Charmaine, Thank You for your honesty about how you are feeling, I know it so well. How I think about life and our journey to mental wellbeing is that it's not in a straight line but a circle and so every now and then we revisit those old ways of being. But every time we do visit them we can handle things a little bit better as we have the awareness of how we are feeling. I don't know if this makes sense to you, lol but here's hoping. Thanks for the long video, they are my favourite.
Brilliant marathon - enjoyed every minute although I do hope your spirits lift and soar with the glory of your magnificent plants! Hello from Tasmania.
I just LOVE these long videos. I always do my (planty) chores while watching. Btw, you look absolutely gorgeous. You’re skin is just glowing wow 🤩
So relatable with the mental health side of things and the feeling of wanting to not be overwhelmed
There is a plant behind you when you have the white shirt in and I really like how it’s growing, would you remember what it is?
Love this week of plant to do's! Made me motivated to do some plant stuff today 😊
the way Pudge looks at you around 2:08:00 is sooo cute. sweet boy.
Thank YOU for being here 🥰
I actually been on the lookout for those clear trellises. Yay, I bought some!
I’m sorry you haven’t been feeling so hot. I know how it goes. Like waves, you never know if your going to wake up happy able to get up, get ready, and function like a normal human. Instead we just want to lay in bed with our dogs all day watching Netflix. I get it. Thank you for sharing such personal venerable things with all of us. Don’t ever feel pressured to post if your not up for it, we understand. Don’t ever feel stressed out or overwhelmed just to make us happy. We love you and understand you!!
Ps. What is that clear paper called that you use to make the lazy poles?? I went looking for it but I couldn’t find the right one!!
Charmaine do you have a specific video you've already made going into the details of the specs on your favorite strip lights you use in your exo's and cabinets that are a good amount of light without bleaching the foliage? I don't know why but I find picking out lights to be one of the most difficult and confusing parts of being a plant enthusiast and get super confused about the watts and all of that. Curious what's worked best for you and whether you've already got a video that those details are included in before I request one 😅
Thanks!
Stay strong ♥️
U r not alone. Be kind to yourself. Depression is very real and we can't will it away. I understand.
I finally found a medicine that helps me I laugh and smile when I an on it.
All the best to you. 🌿🌹🤗
Pug is so precious🥰
pudge is so cute
people are saying the pug type breed should stop being bred due to its painful malformed head/jaw strcture..be interesting to hear your thooughts on the sub
Not even done with the video yet and immediately ordered trellises... And a scoop 😬 oh and the mealy bugs are absolutely Poppin on my Hoya right now 😩 like so terrible
Jeezus..🥰💚🪴🤗

hope you’re doing well 🤍
oh used an account to comment that i wasn’t subbed in, well, another sub for you heheh 🤭
you are my star!!!!!
Whats that vacuum called you use on your dog again ?
My biggest respect to you for getting up, recording this videos, seeing it while editing it over and over again and then also expose it to the whole world, even you don’t feel good. That’s bossy!! It makes me feel bad a little cause I still enjoy watching it even though I know you didn’t feel good while recording🪴🔆❤️
because of my anxiety and depression i only keep around 60 now
Girl, I am so glad you are you and you are doing this channel. I feel like we have a lot of similarities on our journey. Sending you lots of love and positive vibes! ❤️❤️💜❤️
❤❤
where do u get plastic sheets
don't ever apologise for being a downer! i am in the exact position right now and it comforts me that someone is in the same boat as i am. i feel the same way about plant chores and having to be productive when im in a depressive state, so just know that you are not alone
Hi, it was a great video, thank you for uploading, even if you don’t feel 100% ❤️ As regards the dog hair removal vacuum - have you ever consider getting groom brush attachement for your Dyson? I’m wondering if it’s good so I don’t have to buy another device since I already have a dyson.
What does the AFF mean after the plants name.
clinique tests on animals
Y’all really don’t get it. Using “natural” as the literal definition of the word is different from being a part of the natural hair community that black women have built for themselves, by themselves. No one is stopping y’all from using the literal definition of the word natural. But for a white woman to hop on a video where black women are discussing their natural hair movement, it’s wrong to argue semantics and declare you’re “natural too” because it doesn’t mean the same thing in this context. Y’all seem to forget you’re entering a space where black women just want to feel comfortable talking about their own experiences. It’s coming off as “well what about me” - it’s not about you.
I’m so confused by this comment..?
But for the record I agree with you!

Thank you for forcing me to clean today 😤🧹
Thanks!
