- Thanks for hangin with me while I do some plant maintenance! It's not the most fun part of owning plants, but sometimes the slow process of caring for plants can really be relaxing. Plus, someone's gotta do it! LOL

:) when I’m really anxious/stressed your channel is one of the few channels that helps me calm down. Came to youtube to calm down and was really happy to see a new video!❤ thank you
Ditto!
Ebbs and flows, waxing or waning; these are normal, healthy cycles in our passions. Plants are a life long journey if it chooses you and your journey is yours to dictate. The amount may change, the types may change... but the spirit of nurturing and creativity in a plant lover is always a part of your life.
Winter watering can feel overwhelming because keeping ones home heated and providing great supplemental lights really boosts late season growth. I love having half my plants outside during the rest of the year because I feel like the rain does so much of the work for me. I actually take most of my plants to the shower to water. Sometimes I just make a goal like 'water at least 10 plants today'. Filling the waiting time during draining with some sort of small creative project that can be done in steps can also help make it not feel so tedious in my experience. As to the top plant rail, maybe some lights strung for ambiance or a home crafted plant themed garland would be fun. I love paper, so I might origami something fun, but I've heard you mention sewing. We are multifaceted people and we can focus our energies as we can manage and as we are inspired. There are many ways to be a plant person, so just be true to you.
Origami over string lights! That is genius! May I steal ur idea and attempt it?
I'm in a low mood when it comes to my houseplants, too. I'm hoping watching your video will help motivate me to do some plant maintenance!
The first plant you showed that isn't doing much. I'm pretty sure I saw white mealy bugs on underneath leaves.
Hola Becca. Thanks for another lovely video! This may be random but I see you like cleaning with the more natural-like products. I recommend getting a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds to refill your bottles. Use 1 tbsp/1L water in your bottle and you will get a power house of a cleaning solution for very little investment. I normally buy a gallon jug of Sal Suds at a time and it lasts at least a year. I reuse a glass vinegar bottle and put a nozzle on it (you can reuse the one from your bottle), mix my solution and I'm good to go. Depending on the room, I will use different essential oils ie. in the bathroom spray, I add tea tree and citrus. In my kitchen spray I use peppermint...this solution one also acts as my bug spray. There'e a dilution cheat sheet online you can take a look at for all the ways you can use Sal Suds. Hope you find this useful!
What if you had two watering stations going at a time? Some on the plant a potty and some in the sink, your still have the walking back and forth but it would cut your time down!
Ooh I like that idea!!
I am still into my plants and that is the only thing keeping me going right now because they need me. As for anything else like keeping up the house, cooking, etc.....I'm just not feeling it. It's hard to get into the Christmas spirit right now for me as well.....bah humbug, ha!
I was starting to feel a little bit overwhelmed and bored with plants. What I’ve done is to stop buying new plants and focus on the ones I have in my collection. At least until spring😉
Yes, you have the right idea. I feel some of these plant people all get in the mood to buy so so many plants and then it becomes too much work and drudgery starts sitting in. I was once there and now I just have a few maintainable group of low maintenance plants that I love but I guess it's a learning process for sure.
Hey Becca! I've been watching your videos for a long time and got a plant a potty because you made them look awesome lol.. something I've found helpful for moving things along a little faster is letting the plants finish dripping on a boot tray and then putting them back. Theyre really easy to store too they just slide where ever u can easily put it.
Oooh I really like that idea!! I even have one on hand already 😄
Always love your videos and totally understand having a lull...I'm sure making videos constantly can add to being burned out. We'll all be here to watch what you feel like producing and patiently waiting when you aren't feeling it or don't have a lot of content. I have a question that I thought you might have an answer to and perhaps it could be a video topic (maybe?)...maybe a propagation/care video about cacti and aloe...or do you have one that I've overlooked!? Anyway, I know you have a love and appreciation and likely more experience than most other planty youtubers for cacti and aloe. I know you can't propagate from an aloe leaf and can prop from pups...but when they lose enough of their lower leaves and are lanky/leggy, can you pot them up higher and will they root from where the lower leaves were? Or is there another solution? I hope that all makes sense and again, love your channel and videos!
Yes! Thank you for normalizing the ebb and flow of passion for our plants. I get all excited and propagate lots of plants, then sometimes hit a low point when I need to pot everything up--oops. For watering, I use a large, rectangular plastic bin with cooling racks in the bottom for drainage. I can fit about twice as many plants as your bucket method.
I love that way of watering!!!
I like the voice overs, they are relaxed! Keep it going!
I’d be tempted to enclose that brass “light house” with glass… a mini greenhouse 😊. I started a bunch of linearus at the same time you did and lost all of them 😩. I can’t seem to propagate that plant now matter the method I try. Ugh. Hope the rest of yours make it. Maybe I shouldnt have put mine on heat mats? I’m struggling to do ANYTHING at the moment. I am way overdue watering….maybe I’ll attempt it today. Not feeling it.
I have problems with my hands and it’s forced me to slow down (not a bad thing) and I can’t help but feel the plant a potty would be great for people with dexterity issues that can’t carry a large volume of anything for very long, short trip, grap a plant or two, easy peasy!
Crochet or paper plants on the 3rd shelf that way it looks pretty and you don't have to worry about watering 🤣🤣
lol that’s amazing idea!!
Always obsessing over your plant wall in the plant room 😍
When are we getting a greenhouse update? Every time there's a new video I'm like "Omg, GREENHOUSE??" 😅
I usually have to water my plants more in winter because of our very dry heat. I’m sure it all depends on the area you live in but for me my plants get dry as a bone, we have almost 0 humidity in the house when the wood stove runs. I just checked it’s at 27% so I guess I exaggerated. 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄💚🙃
Maybe giving away a few plants might help
Julia.......That's exactly what I did years ago and it was such a burden off my shoulders and I felt like I could breathe again. I now have just the right quantity and low maintenance plants that I just adore and love!
Idk why yters always apologize about voiceovers i think its ok and can be fun like when you’d question why you do smth like when u zoned out 😂
Yeah, my linearis cuttings root up much better in an inclosed bag or prop box. Usually pretty quickly like that, so good call!.. Also, just wanted to say that have ADORED your anthurium baloanum for the last few years, so as soon as I got a bit comfortable with that genus I finally pulled the trigger! I got my plant from someone who had already grown it to a pretty mature level and then made a top cut to sell. I've had it for about 4 months now and it acclimated to my home like A DREAM and it honestly has become (( the favorite )) in my collection and really does bring my so much joy!☺
Love your channel. I recently unsubscribed from some toxic as f plant you tubers. Plants are about plants not drama.
Have you ever thought about making some kind of system where you water the top plant and the excess water drips down and waters the plant below? I’ve been trying to do that for my wall of plants that are on wire shelves.
Hi Becca! Have you thought about getting more buckets and plant a potties? Maybe that can help speed up the process?
Yeah I am kinda in that mood too, I am looking at my plants now, and kinda like meh. Maybe it’s because nothing is going on with them lol. I am just into eating to keep warm now 😅
Saw you spraying for mites....neem oil is a more natural solution
Feeling the same about not in it with these plants right now, literally doing the bare minimum to keep them alive 😂
Hahahah sometimes it’s just like that 😂
You got it! Ebb and flow…..
Nice relaxing video,💚🌵🌱☘️
Living in all that construction noise would have driven me BONKERS!
It was not fun 😂😅
It is definitely a chore but dealing with pests is horrible. 😟
Ugh agreed 😖
where did you get that round terra-cotta planter? I love it😍 from min 6:46
I got it from a nursery outside of Nashville but it’s a self watering pot so surely if you searched “round self watering pot terra cotta” you’d find it or something similar 😊
Maybe you could DIY a large rectangular plastic crate/storage bin style plantpotty for the larger surface area to water more plants at once?
Another mini DIY project!
Or one of those roll up over the sink metal dish drying things and put (2 of them) it over a boot tray and that would make ur drip area huge
Thx I enjoyed.
I have a wood stove so watering is non ending 🤦🏼♀️
Ugh yep 😭
Honestly it’s the cold weather. I kinda forgot my plants existed and it’s like you said- good thing I have certain plants to alert me that they all need water. Love my pothos (or whatever they’ve been recategorized to) ❤
💯💯👌🤟🧡❤️🌹
Ordered the tanks fertilizer but cant figure out how I can apply it if I bottom water LOL 😂 may have to change the way I water.
Is there any way you could make that 3rd row on the wall cacti so that forgetting them wouldn’t be as much of a struggle?
My soil dries out faster more in the winter than summer. I lost alot of plants on my first winter because all I heard was you will not have to water as much during winter. I'm glad you are that at the end about if you're house is dry you will have to water more
Hey Becca! Love your vids. What’s the plant you pic up at 10:04? It looks like some kind of anthurium?
its a xanthosoma lindenii! I just got one myself a few weeks ago after loving it in her videos!
💚💚
Maybe you could use the watering table that you built for your adansonii tree to help speed up watering the wall? Or get a second plant-a-potty? Or take half the plants to the kitchen? 2 hrs is a long time, especially with all the down time while you wait for things to drain. Also, it's ok to leave that top row semi-empty. It gives you space to know you could expand a lil bit if you ever see something you want. I wonder if you could do some sort of hard clear plastic dome on the terracotta that would help propagations and let you use the wall still? Anyway, love your channel! Thanks for sharing!
