I love that you speak openly about losing plants. I think so many times we feel bad about losing a plant (especially if someone online is telling us how easy they are) and it’s refreshing to remember that stuff happens and plants die and it’s okay. 👍🏻
but as many times as someone claims that the plant you just killed is easy to grow, also the opposite can happen too! People just have different growing conditions (light, humidity, temperature), watering habits, soils and pots... I find maranta so easy to keep alive and healthy although others say it's a difficult one. I have noticed it must live in a pot that doesn't have a hole in the bottom, so that way I don't accidentally underwater it.
@@christinak9587 it’s so hard to resist overwatering spider plants! I am so pissed that it just doesn’t seem to drink water as often as I’d like to water it! I am a chronic overwaterer, so plants that don’t mind it are much safer in my care than plants that absolutely do mind… That’s why I invested in a moisture meter recently so that I can try to teach myself to resist the urge to water them when it’s not yet needed.
I LOVE when people (or myself) get rid of their dying or struggling plants. You can feel the stress it brings to someone and it's such a relief when the sad plant is gone. On that note, I wish you all sucessful growth stories in the next year!
I have somehow the need to watch a plant fully die until there’s no life left in a pot. I can even remove all the dead leaves and stems and still keep the pot and dirt there on the shelf to remind me of my failure! If I would throw away a struggling plant it would feel wrong😅
Those subscriber contributions had me absolutely rolling! 🤣 I'm sorry for everyone's plant losses this year, RIP. I'm pretty sure I've killed the ancient african violet I'd received from a neighbor. After successfully repotting it and keeping it happily blooming for months, I forgot to fill the pot's water reservoir ONE TIME and I'm fairly certain the heat vent dealt with the rest of her. It clearly was a very happy plant for many years, and I feel pretty terrible about it. Discovering and battling flat mites means my hoya collection has far smaller plants in it too. I had to rescue cuttings of huge infested plants. ☹ On the upside, I think they are the reason for many of my more elusive plant deaths in past years, so lesson learned. Sulphur splash all around! 🌊Lol
Happy New Year Becca, I missed sending you my favorite plant that I sent to plant heaven, and it was my Adansonii. It was so pretty had it for about year, I made the mistake also of moving it to a different spot and yes, she hated it, slowly the leaves yellowed and dropped one by one. So sad.
Also just a reminder, if you have struggling plants or plants that have died it does not mean you're a failure as a plant keeper. It does not mean you shouldn't own plants. Sometimes plants just struggle and/or die because they're bored lol. I have had plants literally all my life ( my mother had her own jungle before I was even born ) and I've killed many a plants in my time and currently have a handful that are struggling. Keep your head up y'all!
For plants like the fittonia, when I go on vacation I place all my plants in the bathtub and fill it with just enough water that there is a shallow layer touching the bottom of the pots. Maybe like a 1/2 an inch or so. Not a lot. Sometimes I also place a grow light and fan on a timer facing the tub. I've left my plants for 3+ weeks and everything survives just fine. My biggest worry is root rot but I have yet to see that be an issue with this technique. just an idea to try!!!
Hi Becca, I have lost a few plants this year and I never took pictures of those that died, but I love my fittonia and mine is the pink one and they are a fussy plant and mine got really droopy but she still came back and is doing super good now and that makes me super happy. I also had a alocasia Low Rider that died too and I do want to get another one of those because I really liked it. I have always had the buy 3 rule, I will buy a plant up to 3 times and after that I won't ever buy it again, but usually I have figured out what I was doing wrong when I first buy a plant and it dies and I buy it again. I have really been having a lot of fun with my plants lately even though it is winter here in Idaho and some have been struggling but most are really doing good. I want to wish you a very Happy New Year, sending love and hugs. 🪴🌵🤟🙏👋💜💜💚✨🎉🎊
Thank you for all your passion and determination, I’ve only discovered your channel about a year ago and you’ve teached me a lot. Wishing you an amazing new year Greetings from Cologne, Germany. ❤
You've inspired me to do some New Year's clearing of several plants that have been sparking nothing by irritation. I did't want to inflict them on anybody, so they ended in the compost bin: variegated peperomia obtusifolia, parlour palm, pilea peperomioides, camelia, 2 coleus, oncidium sunset, kroton. And I chopped up a tradescantia. If it roots in soil, it gets to live, if not, bye bye. Thanks, Becca!
I hadn’t yet seen this video posted today, but was thinking about your yearly memorial services when I shared photos of all my cacti, euphorbias and succulents, and some other randos that have ended up on what I call Death Row outside, after they suffered through an unexpected overnight cold snap we had in the Fall before I could get them inside and/or protected from the frost. Those that survived that one appear to have fallen victim to last week’s icey temps during Winter Storm. I can’t yet bring myself to hold their funerals. Lol
I'm trying to overwinter peppers and I'm not sure anything is alive when summer arrives. I had plants with roots potted and also sticks in water. The potted ones are seeming ok except one. The sticks that are rooting have a terrible smell and I almost puked when changing the water. I've rooted sticks earlier with success but this year my luck is changing...☠🌶
Ok but I'm living for the ending and how you included other's who also lost plants 🤣 May our loss disintegrate into the earth and provide future plant substrate for us all...Amen🕯🏺🙏🏽
I always dread the winter seasons as i know my plants aren’t going to do well. Also not much sun. And central heating will be used. And fungas gnats seems to have more since soil isn’t drying as quickly without the sun. Also plants that are thirsty and need more humidity definitely the hardest ones and Alocasia and Bonsai plants and succulents too.
I don't think there is a term called "mega established" with the Queen Anthurium... imo they'll all die over time (some quicker than others) if not kept in high humidity (meaning 65%+), which just isn't possible long-term in a cabinet. Mine was thriving in the cabinet, growing quick and huge... well, until she grew so big that her leaves pushed against the glass and top, and at that point I obv. had to take her out. Humidity outside isn't even that bad, ~55% and she still died off, lost one leaf after another for ~4 months until there was basically nothing left.
When I go on holiday, I stick my fittonia in a very large ziploc to keep the moisture in- the max I’ve tried it for is 2 weeks and it was good. But they are so finicky so you never know…
My non-dramatic bestie Peperomia frost, which was one of the first plants I ever bought hen I started having plants this year, which was filling a 5 or 6 inch pot, just decided as soon as winter started coming in to be like “nope” and have leaves start dying 🥴 I’m pretty sure there aren’t any pests, I think it’s just the lack of light, so I just installed some grow lights and i put it under there and I will see how it goes. But I have a ton of little props in my prop box so I might just put some of those in the pot too 😂
I was recently thinking through my own plants that have passed this year. I started 2022 with probably upwards of 80 plants. After some challenges this year I also sold/gave away quite a few, but the last couple months have been very difficult on my plants. I checked yesterday and I’m down to 41. In the last couple days I’ve given up on a handful and I feel a sense of relief. Cheers to new growth and maybe some new plants in 2023. Happy new year!
I found that my marantas love air flow. I actually have 2 near vents & even though they get heat in winter & cool air in summer (i am in Indiana) they are super thriving!! Just thought I would throw that out there. I have killed a prop once tho, so ya know, it is never casualty-free 🤓
Oh my fittonia is GONE, it was one of the first plants I got, and I think I way over potted it and it never thrived. I think I’m just going to buy a new one and put it in a terrarium 😂❤ or maybe a self watering planter?
Speaking of Fittonia, have you ever had a F.Grey Sensation? 😍 they’re admittedly more pricey but they’re uncommon so its understandable. (Fittonia are normally £2.50 but G.Sensations are around £10 where i am)
I’ve been feeling pretty bad about slowly killing my late grandma’s holiday cactus over the course of about a year. I guess it had gotten used to very rare waterings, and once I started caring for it it seemed like no matter how much or how little I watered it, nothing was right! Also currently killing the plant that was my wishlist plant for like a year and someone finally bought me as a lovely gift ://////// only got it like 4 months ago and it’s losing leaves by the day…
The only success I have with a Maranta is it gets bright indirect morning light then light when the sun is rising then from the skylight in the kitchen in the afternoon. This plant lives on the counter top over the sink next to a lemon button fern. So they get humidity all day from the kitchen sink then on the counter I keep distilled water in a misting bottle and those two get misted 4 times a day. They live in plastic catch pots so nothing is leeching from their soil and then I can pick them up throughout the week and see if they feel light and need watering. These two plants had like one arm alive in a Lowe's clearance multi planter. The lime maranta was one arm of life and I finally got a cutting which I potted up in the Mother pot last month. I'm slowly trying to build a plant this winter from this one branch. I had gotten this croton, nerve plant, button fern, dracena hodge podge planter and the most crazy of all things all are alive. Even the Croton! It's insane to me I have gotten a croton to survive I don't move it's pot, I don't make eye contact with it, and it needs water every four days.
This year i lost my random pepperomia from walmart, pink valentine aglaonema, and purple passion plant :(. The pink valentine was the hardest but i repotted it and then underwatered it. My purple passion plant was just done and i know their life span isnt long so i saw it coming. But i was still so sad.
I lost my rhaphidaphora tetresperma too, but to thrips. Mine was about 4 ft tall on planks that made a pyramid. I couldn’t get rid of the thrips no matter how hard I tried. Despite having to toss it, I previously took cuttings that grew so large I was able to make a 12 inch hanging basket. My saddest loss was recently. I lost a tradescantia nanouk. It was my fault. She was growing but had crisping dying leaves. I thought it was just how she was. To get her out of the hanging pot I chopped her then dug her out. Well it turns out she was root bound and I should have cracked the pot and saved her, over the pot. She was 3 feet long and beautiful. But now that I know, I’d try that plant again.
THE CACTUS STORY. “It froze then melted” 😭😂😭😂 I also had a hoya australis I got over the summer (it did amazing outside in Ohio), brought it into my 100yo cold drafty house during fall and it slowly turned to mush. I think it was the drafts but I think the soil was staying too moist as well. Hard to say. And really sad.
I have started from the beginning with the rule that I want to have the toughest plants. If a plant die it's not tough enough. I get passed when I can't figure out why plant is dying. Like that black velvet thing, or that golden goddess thing, Adansonii was sitting there for two years doing mostly nothing. Other plants do better. Like this Monstera Deliciosa I bought at about the same time. They are not fast by any means but I see some progress.
I found a thrips on my Philodendron Luxurians and straight into the trash it goes. Was not meant for me to own that plant (my mistake from not buying from lab grown), only had it for a month. Im side eyeing all my other plants now
Oh man so sad that my succulents got infested by millions of gnats, and I didn’t wanna deal so I tossed them. Guess I will have to rebuy some at some point lol. 😅 Happy New Year! Can’t wait for more fun content in 2023!!
Being a bunny mom and a plant mom is the worst combo. She’s quite determined and a few of my plants have taken a hit in the process. My house is a war zone 😅🐰🪴
Totally guilty of the Dawn dish soap murder! My methodology was that if they use it on baby ducks it's fine for my plants. WRONG .ummm.. apparently baby ducks are just very resilient! 🤣
How fast can you kill a plant?...I got an air plant as a wedding present a month ago and the plant has already left us... This is partly a joke but please don't give anyone a wedding present that can die...🤨 I'm terrified now that the person asks how the air plant is doing!
I have Euphorbia trigona.Started as small pot and now I have around 50 pieces of it. So far so good. It has been reliable plant for years. I have neon pothos. I cut it few times trying to propagate(I am not good at propagating.) The mother plants do really well. I have Monstera Peru. Putting out new growth right now. Trying to propagate it and fail so far (as usual. My Euphorbia propagating so far is the most successful so far not considering my Opuntia robusta which is always successful. Here we go. Four plants that are easy to keep alive.
Makes my dead plants feel not as bad :( But I think the idea that you have to pronounce the latin names to be ridicuous, if people mispronounce names of for example artist (Monet, van Gogh) and that is okay, why do we expect people to be able to pronounce things in a dead language?
I can't bare to put them in the garbage. So I throw them in my backyard, I live in Michigan so, to their death but Hope springs eternal so I don't feel so bad.
Nooooo, not the fittonia! RIP my fave in your collection. I don't miss the rhaphi tet, But I miss your pronunciation! But I heard we have new one now-thaumatoficus! LMAO. Ohhh, and the lauterbachiana is a pain in the ass. Love the leaf shape too, but it's an alocasia and they all hate me.

I'm so sad about your fittonia! I loved seeing it in the background. Please film the potting if you do get more fittonia!
dude!!! this plant funeral literally made me wanna cry! Thank you for sharing and allowing us to commiserate together.

I started watching your videos a couple weeks ago and they’re already a part of my nightly routine. This upload made my night :)
I’m so excited you did this it is one of the videos that brought be to your channel! ❤
I literally love all your videos 🥹🥹🥹 thanks for being the best plant queen ever

My purple passion plant was just done and i know their life span isnt long so i saw it coming. But i was still so sad.
Maybe lil experiment with fittonia? One self watering pot & one not?
I lost my rhaphidaphora tetresperma too, but to thrips. Mine was about 4 ft tall on planks that made a pyramid. I couldn’t get rid of the thrips no matter how hard I tried. Despite having to toss it, I previously took cuttings that grew so large I was able to make a 12 inch hanging basket.
My saddest loss was recently. I lost a tradescantia nanouk. It was my fault. She was growing but had crisping dying leaves. I thought it was just how she was.

She was 3 feet long and beautiful. But now that I know, I’d try that plant again.
Also the lemon lime maranta is my “Fittonia”. I will always have one no matter what. A fuller pot is more forgiving than a small pot.

This was so refreshing! Very relatable! 💚 RIP ☠️

8:52 OOMMGG!! I HAVE THIS PLANT!!!
I’ve lost a few plants this year but I’ve legit intentionally murdered more than I’ve lost 😂

oh no...not the fittonia
Makes my dead plants feel not as bad :( But I think the idea that you have to pronounce the latin names to be ridicuous, if people mispronounce names of for example artist (Monet, van Gogh) and that is okay, why do we expect people to be able to pronounce things in a dead language?
I literally cut out a clip of me saying this but cut it out because I didn’t want to sound too mean 😂😂🤦🏻♀️ thank you for saying this I fully agree
I have red Congo philodendron. I neglected it a lot and surprisingly it's doing well.
I can't bare to put them in the garbage. So I throw them in my backyard, I live in Michigan so, to their death but Hope springs eternal so I don't feel so bad.
Nooooo, not the fittonia! RIP my fave in your collection. I don't miss the rhaphi tet, But I miss your pronunciation! But I heard we have new one now-thaumatoficus! LMAO. Ohhh, and the lauterbachiana is a pain in the ass. Love the leaf shape too, but it's an alocasia and they all hate me.
Voi vittu XD Otan osaa.
NORMALIZE THE PLANTY FUNERALS 🖤 every time a plant of mine is doing bad or dies I feel terrible and get pretty bummed out. This made me feel better 🥹
