Thank you, thank you, thank you for being THE most down to earth planty person! You are truly refreshing, hilarious and have a fabulous way with words! Continue to shine your bright light on the plant community, we appreciate what you are doing!
I love your houseplant videos so much. I'm a hopeless gardener- but I can appreciate the passion for it and really admire my friends/family that are so talented with it. I got so burnt out with my plants and their issues about 6 months ago- and just stopped watching videos or participating in anything planty. I lost a few and definitely got rid of many and it felt good to cultivate my collection a bit more. I feel like there's a bit of a reawakening for the houseplant love and it feels great. I'm so glad to see your face and hear your stories again.
It’s so funny how so many of us are going through these cycles together! I felt the same aversion to even watching plant content (which usually gave me a lot of motivation and inspiration!) I knew it would be temporary so I just let myself have a break and I think that’s the trick. Sure some plants die but it’s usually a blessing in disguise to take the numbers down!!
Passing the "no more below 50-degrees at night" milestone in the spring feels like it should be a holiday in itself in Massachusetts!! 🎉 I'm sooo happy to get my kitchen back. 😂
Missed you! We are all in the same boat gardening up to our eyeballs….Getting seedlings ready to plant in the vegetable garden. I actually sold peppers and strawberries at our annual garden club sale this year which was great, along with houseplants and perennials. It’s actually difficult for me to part with my houseplants because I feel like they are my babies. Gardening is such a challenge especially in our woodland setting …. Watching rabbits munching on whatever is available and tulips sinking into the earth!!!🤨That’s the best thing about houseplants…control of the environment. I was sitting here listening to you while knitting ….been doing it for 60 years…OMG time does fly! Your sweater looks awesome I have a hard time with the sizing it always looks like I’m wearing my boyfriend’s sweater. Hope we see more of you in the garden ….take care.
Hello!! You are so right about the controlled environment!! We don’t get the benefit of free “good guy” bugs but otherwise it’s much easier! I also struggle with sizing my knitting! I’m usually too impatient to do gauge swatches and even when I do it’s still a bit too small or a bit too large 🤣 trying to get better with that!
Hey Pam! I, similarly, had a trip infestation that I just couldn't kill. My local plant shop recommended to generously spray spider ban (full on toxic thrip poison) and then to tie the plants up in a humid-ish clear plastic bag for 10 days. My house looked like a full on disaster with plastic bag plants everywhere. But my ADHD brain didn't have to commit to retreating every however many days, and they're dead dead dead. I respect the beneficial insect approach - put this in your back pocket for next time you need an ADD friendly way to go full out on the thrips.
Thank you!! I’m laughing thinking about how biohazard my whole collection would look in bags 🤣 but for those annoying plants that attract them, this is a great idea!
Man it’s great to see you back, I randomly thought “hay what’s going on with Pam?” I’m coming out of a plant neglect cycle myself so, I’m making the rounds of my usual plant people again. Very inspiring/ entertaining as usual. Giving a shit about your plants again is strangely empowering and the neglect probably makes them stronger anyway.
Hey girl hey!! U had me cracking up! Loved the video....I have taken upon myself to grab a few flowers last month I'm hoping to give it another go around lol! Thank u for sharing ur trip with Pam and the plants and pots...have an amazing week!💙💙💙
Hi Pam, long time no see. For pest in our soil, I was told to put wood matches in the soil. They don’t like sulphur. Your plants and pots are beautiful, love them. Take care 💖💖💖💖
Just getting caught up with all your videos. Had/have lots of gardening going on outside, too, & tried to get as much done before this extremely hot & humid weather set in. Great to see you,loved the video
Hi Pam! So good to see your smiling face! Love the new additions and the real talk as always. Summer is trying to show up Thank the Goddess. Good luck ( u don't need it tho) with da seedlings!
I went through a bad thrip infestation around the same time. It is SO discouraging and can suck the joy right out of the hobby. Enjoyed this video immensely. Love the obovata / pot combo 😍
@@PamsPrettyPlants thanks 😊 I went absolutely insane. Luckily my hyperfixation that month was eradicating thrip. I sprayed them every four days (Captain Jack’s) for SIX weeks. (I have about 100 plants, so way less that you did no way could I have done this with more)
Omg hi! Second vid of yours I’ve seen… (first being the collab with Becca de la plants while binging her content) I freaking adore you!!!! So glad to have found ya! So real, so grounded your my kinda peo! Thank you!
I am gonna try lady bugs to tackle the mealies.... 🙅 Pretty sure they won't eradicate all of them and I'll have mealies, lady bugs; which the cats will go nuts chasing; which will cause the dogs to bark wildly.... and yeaaa
The pots are beautiful!! Ugh!! Wtf!! $32 for mealy bugs is expensive! 🤣 Then again… Brooklyn 😬 no shade I was born and raised there… but Brooklyn.. I digress. Yes! I wanna know if Josh’s Frogs still suck!! 🤣🤣 Blasted ninja thrips!! I just sold off some plants that didn’t bring me anymore joy, and to de-clutter….yeah okay - “de-clutter”. With all that extra space I now have I purchased an ikea cabinet and imported some anthuriums 🤦🏻♀️. Thankfully, the roots weren’t in bad shape so the root clean-up and acclimation went smoothly. GEMINI SEASON YES!!! I feel like some people just don’t appreciate us Gems enough🤔
You're basically telling the internet my life story with the hobby cycling lol. I'm in the same boat with getting back into plant care beyond "ok, i can tell you're about to die i should probably water you STOP MAKING ME FEEL SO GUILTY!"
That is actually an extremely common thing people have believed about me my entire internet life and I think it’s because I have an east coast trash mouth but I also say “y’all”. 🤣
@@PamsPrettyPlants LOL!!! well I did catch the accent in this vid when you say "it's pretty hard to explain" lol you rephrased without the accent though right away ha
She’s beauty and she’s grace she’s miss United States🙃lol imagine a song more amazingly cringe than Tom jones she’s a lady and then they remixed it in that movie and it’s worse love it 🥰hahahaaa
Hey Pam~ missed you!!! Loved hearing you talk and seeing your beautiful smile ❤️
Aw thank you Ruth!! 🥰 Giving me the warm and fuzzies!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being THE most down to earth planty person! You are truly refreshing, hilarious and have a fabulous way with words! Continue to shine your bright light on the plant community, we appreciate what you are doing!
Danielle you’re too kind! It’s so great to find people that like my messy ass 🤣 for real though! I love this community 🥹 thank you
Hello Pam, Good to see a houseplant video from you. Thank you.
I so appreciate you. You are so honest and relatable. Thank you ☺️

Inside plants or outside garden it’s all good with me 😊
Love the Pam crossover!!! You guys are two of my favs to watch :)

Right!
Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😊
Yeah man life happens, it's cool. Very happy to see your face again and hear you have some new houseplant content coming up. Harahh! 💚
Monstera wrestling incoming 😅😅😅

I didn't have to run the humidifier at all last winter. I kept the heat lower and used heating pads This also helped with winter sinus issues
That scindapsus and obovata are beautiful! I always relate to your adhd hobby style and I’m knitting a ton this spring too 😸
Oh wow you stayed in my neighborhood in NYC ❤️ love your videos
I relate so much! Cycling through hobbies, neglecting my houseplants, bad knees and just needing a break. haha
Fun video!
Right? She is the voice of the people
Lmao thank you 🤣
How on earth did I miss this video? Only found it cuz I, too, was wondering what Pam is up to. 😊 So glad I did!
UA-cam has been punishing my irregular upload habit by not telling anyone when I upload. It sucks!

Lmao I’m going with that forever- what didn’t kill my plants (me) made them stronger 🤣 thank you for this positive mindset moment
And thanks for the welcome back!! 🥰
@@PamsPrettyPlants Water is for the weak.
Hey girl hey!! U had me cracking up! Loved the video....I have taken upon myself to grab a few flowers last month I'm hoping to give it another go around lol! Thank u for sharing ur trip with Pam and the plants and pots...have an amazing week!💙💙💙
Hello old friend! I love your willingness to keep trying!! It’s supposed to be fun, right? I’m excited to hear how your flowers do!
Hi Pam, long time no see. For pest in our soil, I was told to put wood matches in the soil. They don’t like sulphur.
Your plants and pots are beautiful, love them. Take care 💖💖💖💖
Thank you Diane!! 💚
I have to repot my supermarket orchid. I hope it doesn’t die like the last one did.
I just realized that your lovely chair in the background was probably influencing the chairs I end up with. when I bought them during December. 😄
😂 I love that chair even though it’s not terribly comfy. My cats are ruining it with their claws despite my effects to keep it covered 😩
@@PamsPrettyPlants oh dear, they love it too then.
So happy to see your beautiful face 🙌🏾❤️😍
I’m so happy to see yours! 🥰
Just getting caught up with all your videos. Had/have lots of gardening going on outside, too, & tried to get as much done before this extremely hot & humid weather set in. Great to see you,loved the video
Whew good luck! I just came in from my mid season bed amending and I barely made it up the stairs. How I loathe the me that didn’t do this last week 🤣
And thanks for watching! 🥰
💕goodness seems like ages since I’ve seen you~
That pre-summer garden rush has been kicking my butt!! Thanks for watching 🥰
Hi Pam! So good to see your smiling face! Love the new additions and the real talk as always. Summer is trying to show up Thank the Goddess. Good luck ( u don't need it tho) with da seedlings!
More like good luck to these seedlings cause once again I started seeds like I have a farm lmao
Thanks Deborah!!
I went through a bad thrip infestation around the same time. It is SO discouraging and can suck the joy right out of the hobby. Enjoyed this video immensely. Love the obovata / pot combo 😍
Thanks Tracy!! I keep staring at that obovata it’s perfect! 😍 I hope your thrips situation has improved too!
@@PamsPrettyPlants thanks 😊 I went absolutely insane. Luckily my hyperfixation that month was eradicating thrip. I sprayed them every four days (Captain Jack’s) for SIX weeks. (I have about 100 plants, so way less that you did no way could I have done this with more)

Hello Pam new subscriber lovee your channel im starting to watch u from the biginning 💙💙💙💙
Hi Jennifer!! Welcome! I hope you find some amusement and/or info 🥰
You're basically telling the internet my life story with the hobby cycling lol. I'm in the same boat with getting back into plant care beyond "ok, i can tell you're about to die i should probably water you STOP MAKING ME FEEL SO GUILTY!"
It’s sad how easily manipulated I am too. I just have to see a pretty picture or some shit and it’s like OPE GUESS WHOSE BACK
