    You made all your audience feel normal if Laura lives with messes in her spaces we are not too far off. Winter is the time we all check our seed starting areas not matter how small or large. I giggled today yay you are like your audience. Whooo I feel normal lol

    Hi! The leggy plant is a rhaphidophora tetrasperma, no relation to monsteras. For some reason a bunch of companies label them as “mini monstera” which just confuses people.
    The other two look like they are monstera borsigiana which is basically the sibling of monstera deliciosa. They do the same thing and have the same growth habit as deliciosa but the leaves tend to stay smaller.
    Monstera and philodendron are two different genus. Lots of times monstera get labeled as philodendrons, but they are completely different geniuses.

    Get the table top carpenter to come back and build a small table at end of big table for the catch-all items, but build it lower so that trash can just slides underneath. Use a big basket on the top to make tidying up easier to carry around and put away the accumulated items.

    If a plant could speak, they would feel like me (age 63) being told to stretch every morning. It’s uncomfortable but is paying off. You inspire me. I am going to rearrange my plants too. I need to get them away from the windows before that crazy cold air puts frost on them. Stay safe and warm these next few days.

    New life goal: a heated plant space where I can putter to my hearts content. The studio is such a nice space to get work done! Feels like a home, not like a greenhouse, yet still so comfy. Sadly, I have a dining room table and people that expect the soil to be removed before they eat there. (the nerve!) LOL

    Have you considered rearranging the room, so that the pretty painting and gray console were on the back wall by the back door (under the mini-split)? That would be so attractive to be the first thing to see when you walked into the studio. You could also move your long potting table to that end of the room (so that we would see the pretty painting and console behind you when you’re filming). The standing lights, camera tripod, etc., could be stored over in the back right corner.
    It would really open the room, and Aaron’s desk could be kept on its same wall, just slid further toward the front door.

    Isn’t playing with houseplants the best!! I love my houseplants during wintertime when I’m missing being outside in the garden. They get over-loved during the winter, and under-watered during the summer😂😂😂 My husband got concerned regarding the abundance of houseplant purchases last winter, convinced they would die of neglect during the summer. I’m happy to report most are still alive, and the ones that did die must have been bad plants😂😂😂

    Nice to have things cleaned up! Whenever I see the studio, I want to move all the wooden shelving onto the same wall for a more uniform look. Then I would put all the white shelving together as well. And I want to move those big, round baskets to the top of the black shelving. It’s easier to organize someone else’s space, then tackle your own! 😁

    Those monsteras would look fabulous on the top of your plant stands that you use as a backdrop for your weekly recaps. If the ceiling had some lights installed, specifically for the top shelf, they would really round off that back wall. I love monsteras 😊

    Laura, this vid is a great example of how you show many of us what's possible when we think it's impossible. I'm sure a lot of people would've tossed those plants that broke or did not know what to do with the main plants that needed to be repotted.

    Laura, watch video of you repotting in your studio and I had a thought. Have you considered putting the Garden Answer Logo on the empty space on the wall above your grow lights shelving. Would be a great space for free advertising for newcomers and help fill in blank space. Love your videos, been watching for years. ❤️

  • @jomassey4207
    @jomassey4207 11 місяців тому +1

    Monsteras need a free draining soil of broken up coir brick, succulent mix, pumice or perlite, and some potting mix, well mixed.
    Usually i put a good amount of scoria at the bottom of the pot.
    If you only use potting mix they tend to get root rot.
    The reason the leaves are so straggly is due to lack of light.
    Aroids and most tropicals are not like ordinary house plants.

    As a child my mother had a philodendron in our "parlor" similar to the 2nd one that climbed a 4 foot bird cage (no birds as we like the look of cages but don't like birds caged) and up to the ceiling and then circled the room twice. I don't know what she did other than that room had very tall windows, but I do recall her getting a couple of us to help her tack more jute rope and carefully hold it while she adjusted and retacked it to another length. Thanks for bringing back that memory from the mid 1960's! 🥰🪴

    ahhh, a clean space.. helps my mind to have things organized so i can get everything all messy again, hahaha.. IDEA FOR THE GARBAGE CAN: i bet builder-magician Paul could fashion an easy table top on long legs to fit over that trash can... leaving at least the area by you open (you might want to hide the front for camera appeal), put the garbage can on a large plant caddy, then just wheel it out from the table to throw trash in it - you have your table top for convenience and the g. can is still available to use... of course, i'm no builder, but it sounds like a top, a front, maybe 1 other side to hide the can, the open area for the can, and legs tall enough to fit next to the work table... i'm just the idea man, my hubby is the builder-magician here, hahaha... anyway, studio looks good, plants look so much better, and ready for seed starting.. ps.. it's nice to know even the experts can snap a plant like that, lol... whew, it happens to me more than i care to think.. OOPS! 🙃 looks like a great day!! 🥰❤ thanks for the video!! 🥰❤

    Beware of chicken poop.
    The new acreage is going to add so much freedom to do more. It will be great!
    I know that you have had chickens and a chicken coop for many years. When I heard you say that the old coop on the new property MAY become a play area for the kids I became alarmed. When my dad was in the navy he was sent to dig up an area that used to house chickens. Disturbing those buried droppings caused him to contact a lung disease which led to his having to have his lung collapsed. Just a suggestion based on my family experience that you put that on your list of things to look into.
    Your videos and family are terrific!!

    I follow another UA-camr who has tons of house plants, when she is working on training a monstera onto poles she wraps spots where roots will grow in plastic wrap to keep the humidity and moister up until the roots grow and take hold, might be a good thing to try for yours :)

    This is the chore I loathe the most, however, so very glad in the end I did it! I starting trying to rid the house of "stuff" for donation every Jan/Feb. It just feels good, clean. And then I'm ready for spring/summer to play in the garden ;)
