Omg she’s so beautiful. I’m addicted to Calatheas. 😁
Hello beautiful💚 melissa..thanks for you sharring you new plant and collection..im enjoy watching..for me is great..good luck melissa my dear friend😍👌👍💚💚
Thank you!! ☺️
i think big box store put a wrong ID Calathea Rosy has a shorter & slightly rounded leaf i think its a Calathea Silvia cause it has elongated leaves just like what you have... i collect calatheas and i have both rosy and silvia...
Thank you for the new plant care information it is very helpful! A couple of months ago I realized after watching plant care videos that some plants come with plastic plugs. I purchased two aglaonema a few months back that were on clearance. Not realizing they had those plastic plugs until I went to repot and thankfully now, they are thriving!
Yes!! I have heard about plastic plugs! It’s so bad! I haven’t come across one for my plants yet but I hear about it and I’m just like why?!!
Excellent post purchase care guide. Would love to see a more in-depth rehab video
Thank you! I’m going to go back out and film this week so I think I’ll pick up a sad plant and film my rehab process! 🤗
Love the calathea
Thank you!! It was so so beautiful 😍
It's because of your Rosy that I got a Rosy... mine is VERY small compared to yours though. Haven't found one so big and beautiful in box stores where I live in Canada but I love seeing littles grow in my care so I hope she does well for me.
Wow that calathea is absolutely beautiful.. I'm tottlly in love with them.. Thanks a lot for your care tips.. Hope I will keep them alive now.. 😊 🙃
Thank you! 🥰🙏🏼
@@plantsbymelissa what type of water do you use for calathea.. You are my favorite plant youTuber now.. All these videos are so informative.. Thanks 👍
@@viren1929 thank you 🙏🏼 I use mostly distilled water. If I’m out I just use my tap but I definitely prefer distilled since they’re so finicky :)
@@plantsbymelissa thanks.. Will try to use only distilled water only..
Gorgeous calathea!! I almost gave into the tempation to pick one up myself yesterday at Lowes but I didn't. I have the Dottie and the Ornata, both soooo pretty, and was lucky to pick up a Fasciata at a local grocery store on Monday! I've never seen her before, anywhere, and she was the last plant on my 2022 wishlist. Good tips here : ) And your videos very much relax me
Thank you so much! It’s hard for me to resist them! Ooh that’s a great find for sure!!! 😍
Beautiful Calathea! I have been watching your channel for a few months now and I have gone plant crazy! I have always had plants but nothing like I have now, since watching you I have plants that I never heard of. I love your channel!💕
Aw thank you so much! Plant collecting is so rewarding! I love all plants so it’s hard to resist not buying them all lol but they are amazing and do so much for us 🥹🥰
@@plantsbymelissa You're very welcome 💕
I adore Caletheas but they don’t like me. The Makoyana is the only one that has survived my ignorance.
I adore this video and yes I’d love to see one with the death net. ❤️
This was fun and interesting to watch. I hadn’t really thought to unpot to check h
The roots for the death plug. I have found a couple with repot. Maybe I need to check when I bring the new plants home. Thanks for showing all this.
You’re welcome! It’s not something you have to remove or even remove right away but I usually remove it at some point after the plant acclimates and I feel it prevents harm later down the road 🤗
Rehab plant vids are my favorite; love to see in future!
Thank you!! I’ll have to do some! 🥰
I do the same trick with my sticky traps! I’ve been wanting a Calathea like this for a while, this video may be tempting me to finally get one!
It’s really so beautiful! I was lucky to find this one!
Lots of great info in this video. I think your cautious care approach following a purchase from a box store is spot on. I also like how you teach to be carefully observant of newly purchased plants to find those not readily apparent pests and problems. One issue I’ve had from box store plants, in particular sago palms, is that they water all their plants in the same manner regardless of individual plant water requirements. I’ve lost 3 sago palms that I believe were overwatered by the store so may have had root rot when I bought them. Many of my plants are from box stores and are thriving but I’m frustrated with my sago issue. I don’t know anything about mosquito bits but thanks to this video I’ll do some research about that product. Again, vey informative video and thanks again.
Thank you for watching! I always see the sago palms and would love to have one outside! Good to know that they don’t do well at the big box stores. I feel like so many plants get overwatered! I see succulents just sitting in a pool of water it makes me so sad! 🥲
Such a beautiful plant and she looks great on your entry hall table! Many thanks for this video and for all your tips. A little extra work up front can avoid some stress later on so it’s more than worth the steps and efforts you take to give the plant a healthy start. I’ve had plants forever and I can admit I wasn’t always so thorough with checking them and handling preventative maintenance on them. We live and learn and sometimes we just get lucky! 😵💫. Happy growing! 👌🪴🥰
Yep! Sometimes I don’t do it right away but most of the time I do especially for certain plants like calathea because I know how finicky they can be. Definitely worth a little more work up front! 🤗
I just got into calatheas and I am loving them so much. The rosey is on Wish list
Yay! They don’t get enough love! They really are such beautiful plants! I know they can be finicky but i think they’re worth it! 🥹🥰
I love the Rosey too but did pass it up even though I did want it because of its beauty......I am excited to watch this video!
Thank you! I knew I would have regretted it if I passed on it 🥹
Great practical tips and informational video. I use Mosquito Bits as a preventive treatment. Good luck with your new calathea!
Thank you! It’s going well so far! 🥰
I would like to see a root plug removal. I like seeing your cats come in to make an appearance also! Meow!
Thank you! They like to make an appearance sometimes 😂 I’ll have to do a root plug removal video! Guess I need to go plant shopping soon 🙈😂
Thank you for very helpful video. Do you use the super thrive during winter time too?
Yep! Usually after every repot 😊
@@plantsbymelissa Thank you!❤️
👏👏👏👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚🌿🌿🌿🌿
Very informative and definitely what needs to be done. But who actually does all these steps when bringing a new plant home? I am guilty of skipping most of these. Very time consuming for me personally. But appreciate the time you took to make video.
I do 😅 now sometimes I don’t do it right away but when I get time to get to it it really doesn’t take too long 😊
I do too lol I guess for me that’s part of the fun of getting a new plant. Cleaning it up and setting it up for success feels pretty satisfying
💚💚💚👌👍👍👍
