    I started the houseplant journey Summer of 2020. I probably do have a little over 100 plants including cacti and propagations. I display round my 1,700 sq foot home. I now have a plant room. From the beginning I knew I didn't want it to be a jungle of plants. I like to thrift shop and I'd say 99% of the times I decorated my room with are thrifted. I like uniquely displaying them to be able to enjoy them. I do only buy plants that can survive and thrive in my low to medium light home. I like moving them around to see where they do best. Thank your for all the informative videos and can't wait to see more in 2023!

    I agree - No divas in my collection! I’ve always felt that variegated plants are overrated although some are undeniably gorgeous. I too love to be surrounded by my houseplants hence no tents or cabinets for me. Happy New Year! ✨🪴🥳

    I'm 100% with you on that I'm over the drama queens and stressful plants, I'm buying more that I think won't die on me. No calatheas, begonias, ferns, I spent too much effort, I love the look but they don't like me back. Managed to kill my tradescantia too so those are also an out for me.

    I agree with this completely. From the Driftwood to the display to the sizing up of plants and down of collections… and the sustainability….. definitely agree. My first video goes up on the 6th… I’ve been growing mine on water logged Driftwood and they are doing great! I also am huge on Displaying my plants ☺️

    i think a big trend that's been on the rise in the same vein as no grow tents has been more elevated houseplant accessories. don't have to settle for bulky watering cans, growlights for industrial/commercial weed growth, or planting tools with the big green rubber handles, etc. "Not your mothers" houseplant tools, I guess. All parts of the houseplant hobby can be very beautiful, not just the plant!!!

    @debbiey9452 Рік тому +1

    Great video!! I gave up on variegated plants last year because of cost and that some will revert back to all green. No way I’m spending triple $$$ (or more) on a plant that could possibly look like all my other plants after a year or two.

  • @briimarie2218
    @briimarie2218 Рік тому

    Tradescantia gets leggy and stretched out easily because it's not really meant to grow as a bushy hanging ball. It's also has a "short life " when the vines aren't given something to lay down more roots in. In the wild each stem will root essentially starting a new plant. I can't remember the plant video of the man explaining this to me but it made so much sense his video. I think he was British but it's been almost a yr since watching it.

  • @fogfern6184
    @fogfern6184 Рік тому +2

    Ya I’m over high maintenance plants. I’ve had too many. I started off keeping plants before the houseplant craze (2013) and just had your regular basic plants and loved it. The craze brought so many cool plants available and as a result, I’ve had lots of rare stuff since 2020. But at the end of the day, I had too many and they were too high maintenance. I still have some more uncommon ones but they are tough and I’m going to keep them. Lol Really, plants that are tough and are beautiful that make me the happiest. A lot of them times it means they’re common and I guess they’re common for a reason. I’ve downsized so much over the past 6 months and I’m not done yet. I think I’ve actually learned some lessons lol 😅

    I agree, grow tents are hideous. Why have plants if you will stick them in there? I love to display and enjoy my plants around my home. I love how you have decorated your new apartment with plants. Aesthetically pleasing display, including grow lights is also what I strive for.

    I agree with most of this. I'm pretty comfy with my current collection (no planned buys for me) and just updating my pots as I mix or size up in new color schemes. Staying at my max of 60, mostly medium-care plants mainly, but still doing filtered water for all.

    Tradescantia - I heard they're invasive in the wild. While they do look pretty, I don't want them in my collection
    Variegated plants - not all variegated plants are attractive, at least to me. For example the variegated p. melanochrysum
    Sustainability - I'm always trying to save money by buying pots from thrift stores and upcycling jars and plastic bottles 😃
    No plant hoarding - I only just started collecting plants in July and I reached the point where I'm more aware what kind of plants I like and how much I can handle. I'm now more mindful of the plants I bring home. I only buy ones that I'm genuinely interested in and within my budget. I have about 40+ common and uncommon plants now and maybe up to 50 is my happy number. They're mostly babies atm but I'm excited to see them grow and mature in my space

  • @CocoNichole

    nooo CRIES. I cannot accept that terracotta is out lol. I think terracotta with very perlite-y soil makes plants look so healthy and strong even when they're just starting out. i don't know why. just something about it it. i also love the aging of the pots. it's like they are maturing right along with the plants.

    None of my plants are in terra Cotta pots. Plant hoarding looks messy and unorganized and you are potentially inviting pest. I enjoy growing plants in water in a clear vessel. Lastly,. My plants must acclimate to my home, lighting and humidity. 😏

    I would love to see a video all about sustainability with houseplants! I feel like fertilizer specifically would be an interesting section on that video - thinking about sourcing the ingredients, if there are negative impacts of fertilizer going down the drain on the environment, chemical versus more natural fertilizers. Also switching to more sustainable materials for potting plants :)
    I really liked this video and going to ignore the part about terracotta going out of style in 2023 😂

    Greetings from Athens, Greece! I recently discovered your channel as I am a new plant parent myself and in all honesty it brought me so much joy! You are very welcoming and upbeat which is very pleasant to watch! Also you are very informative which I really appreciate since I don't have much knowledge in plant caring! I do try to keep them alive and so far I can say I have succeeded with the exception of a calathea dottie which has unfortunately passed away. I was drawn into her because of her mesmerizing leaves but little did I know that she was such a diva! Anyway, the rest of my plant collection consists of a ficus elastica (i think it's ruby), golden pothos, manjula pothos, cebu blue pothos, scindapsus pictus silvery anne, epipremnum pinnatum baltic blue, epipremnum pinnatum albo variegata, monstera peru, dracaena lemon lime, sansevieria laurentii, and cuttings of a ficus lyrata, philodendron brandtianum and monstera deliciosa. The vast majority of my plants are climbers so I decided some of them to leave them trailing down and a few of them to give them some bamboo sticks in order to grow upwards. Also I recently have found some cool designs for pots using a 3D printer therefore I will get some of those in order to spice things up a bit! Keep up the good (and planty :P ) videos and I wish you a happy and fruitful new year with peace love and good health for you and your loved ones! Cheers!

    I chop my tradescantia and report the cuttings when it starts to look bad. Yes, it will take a few minutes but it's not difficult. I am growing mostly Zebrina because it looks the best and it's easier than others.

  • @moominsean
    @moominsean Рік тому

    I never really understood the appeal of the grow tent oustide of propagating and selling. I wouldn't spend $2k on a plant anyway, but I certainly wouldn't spend $2k on a plant that I was so worried about that I have to keep it in a grow tent so it doesn't die, but I can't actualy see it. Next year I think there will be a diminishing "middle of the road" collector. It will be the casual collector and the collectors that buy $20k variagated plants. Most won't be the "100 plants minimum" collectors that we've seen over the past two years, because that's probaably a large number of people that had more free time during COVID, and now everyone is back to "life". Not to say that they won't exist, I think it will just be a much smaller crowd, while most will be more casual and look for those low maintenance plants that you mentioned.

  • @gudrunorca
    @gudrunorca Рік тому

    Hey Kat, happy new year! Hope your sansevieria are thriving after your very insightful repotting video (which I recently rewatched). Any updates on them?
    Thanks for the great video! As a resident of The Netherlands, I am a bit spoiled, as we have many large nurseries and a lot of houseplants accessible. So there are differences in our markets. However, I do think your points are valid and will concur. I am seeing prices drop on the “rare” philodendrons like Pink Princess (also seeing much less well variegated ones) and gloriosum. Cebu blue pothos are also becoming more mainstream, but that was to be expected, considering their ease of propagation. I’m also noticing more variegated varieties of Spathiphyllum becoming available here (albeit perhaps more expensive). I will be trying to mount some Phalaenopsis orchids on pieces of cork, as this was just shown on TV in an interview with @rogiervanvugt of the Hortus Leiden Botanical Gardens.
    Another thing I noticed is very young specimens of plants being sold, like “baby” plants, even in their tissue culture vials! I very much doubt the viability of those specimens, although admittedly some plants will do better if they get acclimated to your home at an early stage, rather than being fully established and mature. Like with big Monstera deliciosa for instance, which grow smaller, less developed leaves in sub-optimal conditions. But perhaps that’s just me secretly being jealous of people who were gifted mature cuttings and just want to rain on their parade 😜
    As for tradescantia, in my experience, one cultivar seems to do best and that’s pallida (the purple, hairy one). At least, I believe it’s that one. It does grow fast, but it also seems more robust due to its thicker leaves. It does require high light for it to really be purple. 💜

  • @redlady3123
    @redlady3123 Рік тому

    I think it depends where you are in your journey and your current attitude/status on plants. The die hard are still going to want variegated everything. Some are still collecting the classics first. Some are downsizing because their collection is so large it’s unmanageable and the joy gets lost. I’m guessing you are in the latter category. Great predictions! Very interesting and I agree with most. Love the trend of the large Seuss like plants and trees. I have an old Dracena that I almost got rid of due to it’s overgrown mis-shapen appearance and now I see it as the most unique plant I own. I predict that uniqueness that you can’t buy will be trending, especially on IG in 2023.

  • @markv7390

    I definitely do not agree with the moving away from terracotta. I’m actually moving away from ceramics and slowly collecting good terracottas. Because things dry faster with terracotta I have chosen to use clear plastic so I can easily maneuver or move plants between planters.
    Aesthetically they just look amazing when grouped together than having multiple colored pots.

    I do like the low maintenance plants. My bid into sustainability is to not throw away my old nursery pots when I pot up plants, you never know when you will need a pot. No reason to send them to the landfill. And if you keep freshwater aquariums, save the old tankwater for your plants instead of sending it down the drain. Nice room temperature aged water, with fish fertilizer in it.
