It’s literally impossible to walk around my house and not find a plant chore that isn’t urgent 😵💫

I’m in the middle of an emergency house move so I have zero business propagating plants that I can’t take with me, but I CAN’T STOP.
Has this ever happened to you? 😵💫 And by “this” I mean the never ending cycle of chores 🙈

Is that first plant some kind of fern?? It is GORGEOUS!
@@rainseductress Yes, it's a bird's nest Fern. They are very pretty plants.
Can you drop a link for the healthy bacteria?
@@snowflaketherooster3895is a bird nest fern a hardy plant and easy to care for
How about one for that shelf, too please.
This is how all my days off go 💀 plant chore after plant chore.
Never ending!
Me too!! What's a day off?? 💀💀
Yep 😂
And then the rest of the chores get forgotten 😂
But i low key enjoy it
“What happens when you have to many plants?”
You propagate them and create even more plants 🌱 😂❤
Exaaaactly. The circle of life continues hahaha
Omg! I just died at your comment!! Can't tell you how many times I've done that while thinking wait something ain't adding up right... wait it just did add up! Lord Jesus help me!! 😄 hahaha.
too*
2minutes😂
Just because you love plants so much that it feels like a crime to throw away the pieces you trim of of your plants. 😅 But there's always a solution to this - give them to someone else who loves plants too or even try to sell them, although I haven't done any of these yet because I'm not the best plant's caregiver, so they tend to die at some point, so then I have other little one to replace them. 😅
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who spends way more time than planned doing plant chores 😂
🙌
Saaame I'll think "Oh, I only need to water one plant" and then that turns into "Hmm, maybe I should check my other plants", and then that turns into "Damn I really need to water a lot of my plants", and then that'll turn into a repotting, and then that'll turn into a pest checking and treating, and that'll turn into a propagating, and so on and so forth.
It's a good thing they keep making our homes and yards more beautiful with their mere presence... 😉
I get so happy when I’m caring for my plants is so therapeutic for me 😊❤
🫶yes!
This happens to me every week. Before you know it, 3 hours go by and you’re too exhausted to do anything else
OMG EXACTLY
Me, every day, and loving it! Wait. What day is it?
This channel has honestly cured me of my desire to become a plant lady. Ill just vicariously watch you and save myself the headaches.
Awww maybe dabble in just a few 😂
Hahaha! That's probably a very wise decision! 😆 Two of my biggest problems are getting my plants killed by pests and having to bring many with me when I go for vacation, hoping that at least they won't die out of thirst. 🤦♀️
@@anac7096😱 you bring your plants with you to vacation?
Just get like, one fern. They're heavy feeders and need quite a lot of water, but that's like once a week, so it isn't like, a massive chore to do a day.
Plus, a lot of them (like the Maidenshair Fern) can't be easily duplicated outside of the initial pot other than the seperate plants that's in there, so you're not tempted to make a million plants out of one.
honestly one of my favorite parts of my morning is going through and checking on each plant to see what’s new, and in the summer especially, make sure no pest has gotten around to any. i love sipping my coffee and doing plant chores, but that’s just my poison!
So relatable! Plant life!🌸🌱
Haha 🫶
When you have a MASSIVE root mat form like this and you’re concerned about hydrophobic soil, you can take an exacto and score the roots vertically (top of soil to bottom soil) in 1” increments all the way around. You don’t need to cut too deep, and once you score all the way around, you can give it some more squishes to help loosen things up.
The scoring is superficial in the long run, and helps the roots establish outward into the new soil
I also soak after doing this but before repotting
That is an excellent tip!!! I think I’ll go and do that
oh no, you made her go back the the plant shelf... let's hope she comes back before 1am
@@Mizu-AM lmao lost again
HAHAHA ☠️
I had a repot like this a few weeks ago but it was much worse. Bought a dragon fire kalanchoe from Home Depot and they had it potted in, I’m guessing, a mix of coco coir and peat moss. It was completely hydrophobic and solid as a brick. I couldn’t even manage to separate a tiny chunk of it so I let it soak in a huge pot of water for 3 hours. When I went back to it, it was still bone dry and completely solid. I had to separate it because the plant was already suffering from not absorbing any water. Took me 4 hours with a knife to set it free with minimal root damage thankfully.
Four hours!!! Wow. You freed the plant from soil prison!!!
Jesus. 3 hours and it was still bone dry? It couldn't have been coco coir and peat moss, they take up a lot of water once the peat moss stops being hydrophobic and lets water in.
Whatever it was, it must have been absolutely shoddy to not uptake water. Maybe pure compost, or something. It don't take much water in.
I just bought soo many plants for my home and I never realized how much I relate to this video 😂
✊😂
Same But The Plants Are Fake
This morning, I only have a plan to water my outdoor plants. Then I notice the top crust has dried too much and needs to rake up. As I finished watering the big boys, I remembered I haven't fertilized my houseplants so went back to the kitchen to make their liquid feed. As I finished watering everything, the sky turned cloudy and cold, so I evacuated the houseplants inside to avoid the windstorm. The ones on the table stared at me as I have forgot to repot a few of them. It's been 2 hours and a half and I haven't had breakfast or gone to the loo. Fml 🤦♀️
Omggggggggg
Oh hello!!! Welcome to my "everyday club" 😅😅😅
My array of bouganvilleas and their fallen flowers mess, who reside side by side to "leaf bug prone" jasmine and lime..followed by the messy japanese clematis...then the roses gives a hungry stare...while my 5-6 types of pothos start to hover their never ending vines on top of my snake plants and areca palm...somewhere behind my back are thirsty screaming syngonium jungle amd their fondness of renting out ant colonies who have somehow mutated and are not even bothered by the regular sprinkling of diatomaceous earth...yes, do do often hear the smirks make by the ZZ , algonema and rubber plant who I think have not been watered since a month...while I dot on the beetel leaf vines amd thier tender roots...still not getting the hang of a correct water schedule for my zebrina tradescantia and tangled hearts...im surprised how these two have managed to fool my moisture meter and lives or dies on their own terms...I guess a very few would understand the hopelessness when you see your dog has shreaded each and every leaf of lemongrass while thinking its ok to pee and mark each and every pots and planter as his own...if 8 is not enought, just how many tripple stands are you supposed to have in a small home so that ypur dogs target doesnt reach the soil inside the pots???....
Well...im not even done halfway.... And oh its already 12:00 noon....let me have my morning tea now....to hell with breakfast and lunch....while my 2 arrogant monsteras roll their eyes on me😢
Living in the Indian composite climate zone with extreme heat and low humidity serves as yet another challenge to try and keep humidity levels for my dear babies...i hope you can just gasp in astonishment when I say that Iam required to thoroughly water my potted bouganvilleas everyday for them to florish. Even if I miss watering 1 day and the next day their entire limbs go limp and leaves start shedding...
So yes....im am tortured, assulted and dragged all morning....yet these are my heartbeats and I shall never have it any other way...everytime i see a bloom or a fresh vine, a new leaf, its just plain Heaven...no, im not about you- you heartless calathea!!!
@@vijayashrichhetri711 😂
I have the exact same problem with my 350+ plants and now my partner is getting more forgiving too with me getting more plants which doesn't help. I need more time 😂😭
Need more hours in the day!
Just hide the boxes and evidence of you buying new plants😂 thats what i do too haha trow them boxes away before they get home
OMG 😳 we need grupal therapy 🥹. What I'm doing now is transferring some of my plants to self-watering pots and in a leca or pond so I can have a bit of free time and enjoy them.
350+??? 😱 That's, at the same time, a dream and a nightmare! 😅
@DamianPerry25 what kind of system are you using? It would help me when I need to go for vacation.
Needed to see this! My baby rubber plant has gotten really leggy and I know he needs a chop but I hesitate. 😅 this gives me some courage!
Lol mine got way more than a trim 😂
Omg, sameeeeee !!!!
This is also the story of my plant life on the weekends!!! But I love it!!! 😊
Hahaha 🎉
Beautiful Bird's Nest Fern!
Thanks’
Me whenever my plants are doing good and don't need any care a particular day, I went to my neighbor's house and start taking care of their plants. Coz I'm the one who grow those plants😅. I just can't sit even a single day without doing something related to plants. Became habit and I love this habit 😅
Hahaha yesss
😆
You have so many beautiful plants.
Thank you!
What kind of plant is the one you repotted? It's gorgeous!
A birds nest fern!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrowthe other one in water?
And this is why I’ve stayed up til 2-3am the last 2 or 3 nights and probably will tonight even tho I know now at 3pm I wanna do some plant chores. Oh well at least it’s Friday now.
HAHA I get that
Your collection looks so healthy and well taken care of. Beautiful job.
Thank you!
YOU REMIND ME OF MYSELF! LOVE ALL YOUR PRETTY PLANTS! FIRST TIME WATCHING YOU. WILL CHECK OUT MORE. GOD BLESS!
Thank you!!!!
I love 💗 your humor AND plant skills.
Yup. I told someone I would be right back! An hour later they come looking for me. “Oh, I’ll be just another minute or so. This plant needed an emergency repot. It doesn’t take long but then I had this pot empty and these other propagations need to be potted!”
EXAAAAACTLY
😅 I hear ya! One thing leads to another, and then another, and still again another! Never ending cycle!! But it's all worth it, right. They all, each and every one, make me so happy!! 😊 ❤ 😂 🎉
Oh I know, it’s literally never ending 😂. Think I got all my plant chores done, then boom 💥something else needs attention 😂
Seriously!!!
Squirrel! 😂 See … it’s a good thing … look at how much love (along with the frustration HA!) your plants got. ❤
lol 🫰
You go, girl! Well done! I feel inspired! Thank you!
Yay! Thank you!
This bird nest fern can do with a pot that is much bigger cos it grows fast into all the soil. And they literally max out the soil with their roots!
I knooooow. I was delaying the inevitable
My birds nest just died 😭 yours is so pretty
I have to babysit mine so much I’m running out of patience. 😅
It was an itty bitty thing from Trader Joe’s last year!
Hahaha this is literally ME 😂 I’m screaming
😅
Lol. Love this. This is so me. I get consumed for hours doing this. Your plants are beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
I love plants! 🪴
It’s never ending but I love it 😀
🙌
That plant is so perfect it looks fake😮🪴
It started as an itty bitty thing I bought at the grocery store and now she’s huge!
Love all your plants l love propergateing my plants slowly getting alot,love your channel 😊❤❤❤
Thanks so much 😊
Same pinch.
I've just 10 pots and I grow hibiscus and periwinkle. I always worry about this part at the least, when I get to water it all...
It’s a challenge!
Omg you are literally my green thumb soul sister 😍 I am a huge plant lover/ tree hugger, and your skills are amazing!
Thank you!
I was wondering what that plant is called. Baby rubber plant. Thank you! Mine smells like brown sugar
Yum
Love this video I'm plant crazy😊😊😊

Oh my god! That was the story of my life !; but your narration is exactly what my brain sounds like as I'm going thru this crazy cycle that gets me to work late ! Lmao! You nailed it!
🥰🤌🤌🤌🤌

Haha thanks!
Adorable and yes.. this is everything in my life right now. 😂 ❤❤❤

Lol
Yes! I’m not alone!
Hahahah - OMGoodness, this is so true!!!!
🙌
This is my life for real omg!
😅😅
Ive let some time pass and decided specifically to come back here to read what other people are saying, and the comment " what happens when to many..."
Well, now I've been there, and we all I think have been there, thought crossed mind! Ha, are we crazy ? I mean, maybe I'm overthinking it, but it's like hypnotizing when I garden and plant chores, then ideas come to mind. During all those times, im busy its lile im living a second life or cheating on my other life out of the plant world . Lol sometimes wonder if I'm neglecting, it. oh dear, I hope not. Gtg making pasta tonight
Lol, my husband says that’s literally me and it’s so true! 🤣😅 Funny video, I like your self-irony 🫶
Haha thanks!
Really enjoy your videos like this. I follow on Instagram and now I’ve found you on UA-cam. Winning!!!
Great video!
Thanks!
😂😂😂how does a funny skit turn into a nightmare cuz it’s too relatable! P.S. Thank you for creating a safe space for plant parents to feel seen and accepted 😂

The Never ending chores lol that's why I love Sundays. The only day of the week what I do absolutely nothing so I can get ready for the next day to start all over 😂
HAHHAA true
Love this 😘
Thanks!
Truer words have never been said, that was literally me yesterday 😭
lol you knooooow
I’m totally like that too! I have to stop propagating as well, too many plant projects 🤣
My props are TRAILING now.
Love this. I miss plants. I need a plant
I ADORED plants,and in this case the more the better...they transform the ambiance of a place and make it beautiful and so relaxing...a séparation from the world of caos, a mini universe of positive energy...❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So true!
I feel you omg.
😅
Love this!
Thanks!
Yep, this is exactly how my day goes from one plant fox to spending the whole day chopping up my plants for new cuttings that may or may not survive😅
Love 💕

Omg 😂 very relatable
😇
😮omg, i can't with my life, house duties, and my dogs. I want it to have real indoors, like 1 in each room and 3 in my backyard. I love it when the house looks so tropical and green 💚 but looks so much hard work.
Haha I am just extra
OMG I can totally relate! 😂
Yesssss👋
In india we do gudaai.. Literally means using something pointed (usually gardening tools) to once in 2-3 months dig into different spots n try to wiggle it. This aerates the top soil and allows enough room for the roots to breathe
Yes! Great tip 👌
😂😂 that was awesome! Just a few minutes, why do we lie to ourselves?! 😅😅
Lol 🤥🤥🤥🤥
So cute, everytime another chore
Bahaha always
dayumm is that first plant even a real/natural plant?😮 it looks so shiny and healthy
It’s real!
It will only take a minute. . . 😅My every single day. 😊
Saaaaaame
When the soil becomes hydrophobic, just leave it in a bucket of water overnight. It'll soak it up, just needs to be forced to like water again.
Normally a good solution, but this root mass was solid regardless. I’ll end up scoring the roots vertically to help it out.
Same here but with cacti . I started with 2 and now I have over 30. If this keep going it will triple again next year😊
😂😂😂 It's ridiculously never ending, yet you can't help propagate more!! I totally get it!! Then i can't be arsed to deal with the propagated ones, why did i even bother!! But still feel guilty about neglecting them everyday, but still procrastinate dealing with them! 😂❤
Thank you for relating to me
🥰
Literally me every single day. I try to have days where i wont allow myself to even look at my plants before i take care of my other responsibilities because once i start on the plants... that's the rest of the day right there
😂
Your plants are so beautiful and happy! Jealous!
Thank you ❤
At one point I ended up with so many plants I didn't know what do with them. Although I gave so many away, my yard looked like a nursery but still, I wanted to take care of them. Summer came and I decided to have a yard sale.
The plants lasted 2 hours and I made 1300 dollars. Needless to say, I started all over again. 🤣😂🤣
Your plants look beautiful!!!👍
Wow! That’s amazing!!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow Thank you!
I was amazed myself at the amount of people wanting to buy plants. Now I have just as many as I had then. I think I have some kind of plant sickness. 😂🌿
Two questions: Could you soak that hardened soil for a while (out of its pot) to loosen it up before transplanting? And, what is the benefit of the clear pots? I thought light was bad for roots? Is that an old wives tale? (Pretend that last part was all one question.)
Algae can grow if light is exposed, but this goes right into a cache pot so no light actually hits the roots. The plant was soaked and it still was one solid mass. Another person commented I could have vertically scored the roots top to bottom with a blade, which I may go back and do!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrowI believe that would be the best thing for the plant. 😊
that ending suggests a sequel to the too many plant saga
😅
My story too ❤❤❤😊
I literally just did this exact thing yesterday with one of my ficus tineke. 1it wasn't doing as good as before so I was checking the soil and it was just a hot mess of concrete soil and roots. I felt almost bad for just putting the mass into a new pot with better soil, but now I don't feel bad😊
HAHAHHA
Plant Mom life!!! I am just like that, I go upstairs to sew and start checking on plants and never sew a stitch!!!! lol!!!
Hahaha sounds right
You such a champ, i dont put my plants through it enough lol
😅
That’s how I be like and then the day goes by!
Exactly!
At one point in my life I had SOOO MANY plants I had no places left to put new ones! What did I do? Continued to propagate more n face them away! LOL 😆
EXACTLY
Oh my gosh beautiful ❤
Thanks!
