    You are officially my favorite UA-camr. Thank you so much for sharing other plant lover homes and discussin real life challenes that we face with plants. I am new the the plant community and I've learned so much so far just watching these videos. I literally wantto cry listening to Niyaa and how plants have impacted her. I have my own story and learning how to care for plants has given me a new purpose.

    I am happy to burst your bubble about the poinsettia. I had two that my Mom kept trying to finish off in the snow. They were almost bare branches, they had white flies, their pots were way too small. I kept hauling them back in, washing off the white flies with soap, water and tissues. They grew up to look like small trees. A bit over 4’ tall and almost as wide at the bottom. My Dad kept them when I went off to school. He put them in the basement for a month or so in winter and they would bloom each year. Beautiful, happy plants.

Her arrangement of them is just lovely. Love the sheer gold and white curtains, love her dress and earrings. This entire tour was not only informative, but a joy to behold. Thank you.

      Even lettuce calls to me. I am just working on summer plants for my balcony and decided to do a pot of lettuce along with my many fuschia, coleus, tuberous begonia, etc. I put a little green romaine and a red romaine plant in my cart the other day, but found a cheaper 6 pack of red and green leaf lettuce and returned the romaines to their shelf. After going home I regretted not getting the red romaine and returned to the store the next day for it. (Ok, and a few more plants). Those were the last two of their kind, and as I walked away I felt bad for the little lonely green romaine and turned back to take it home too. I gave away 3 of the leaf lettuce to a neighbor and have the other 3 plus the red and green romaine happily living together in a large pot on the balcony now and don’t have to feel plant guilt over leaving one behind! 😆

    Niyya, you are a true inspiration: from getting over and through your past to creating this amazing space. House plants are not easy to take care for, they all require something slightly different but its truly therapeutic to see them thrive. At least for me, its so rewarding to see my plants healthy because I'm doing something right for them and the benefit they give back is immeasurable.

    I became a plant owner to try and occupy my mind away from grief. I lost my brother to suicide this past June. He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. I felt completely broken. I could feel my mind getting lost in the pain and grief. I felt lost and very much alone. Becoming a plant owner has been a form of healing therapy for me. I still miss my brother so much. But, I am getting through each day, and learning to heal....and learning that it's okay to be happy. My first plant was a tiny little ferocactus and a very small fairy castle cactus. I can't wait to get more. I really love your story as well. I'm so glad that you found your sanctuary. 😊🌵❤️
