Sorry you’re a bit overwhelmed with plants at the moment. If you need to downsize but you love all your plants, you could take a few cuttings from some plants to propagate & sell the plant. They’ll be big again when you’re feeling better; we love plants, but they’re not worth your health & wellbeing. Thanks for sharing you beautiful collection with us Jose! Yes to repot vid.
Hi! Thanks for the tip. That could indeed be an idea.. I absolutely agree with you that our plants should not become a struggle for our well-being. Thanks for your kind words! ❤ I appreciate it.
I also recently felt incredibly overwhelmed by my collection. I wanted more freedom in my life to focus on other things, without plants just taking over, so I purged like maybe 75%-80% of my collection. It was hard at first but I got myself to let go of any plants that I considered "getitng rid of" at any point, plants that looked "too similar" (i.e. just choose one florida type, just choose one long leaf philodendron, etc), plants that were struggling and i didn't feel like it was doing well with me. Tried to make sure any I keep truly truly sparked joy and is realistic for my space, instead of hanging on to them cause I've had them for so long.
Hi, Love your videos! I love Alocasias so so much and I’ve been through trial and error with them throughout the years (especially the frydek) and I have some advice if you would like it, because you said that they were struggling. I had all my Alocasias in a chunky potting mix for ages and I didn’t see much growth and they were always going through the cycling stage whenever it pushed out a new leaf, it would drop another. One day I came across a video of someone saying that Alocasias love semi-hydroponics because in their natural environment they live near river sides and always have consistent water. So i decided to give it ago and it has been the best. Super easy to track root growth and any potential signs of root rot (because I keep mine in clear containers) and in the beginning when they are transitioning into semi-hydroponics there will be some root rot but it doesn’t seem to hurt the plant because they grow water root super fast. Anyway, I have had mine in semi-hydroponics for around a year and it’s been nothing but amazing for the plants. So much new growth and they stopped cycling 🤗. Hope this helped (sorry it’s so long 😂)xx
It's ok to overwhelm. It's a part of process that you're a very good plant mama that your plants thriving in your care . Make a space for other things in life is important . 🫶
I also have a plant, philodendron Dean MC Dowell that has a twin leaf with only one stem, I thought it was so interesting and weird how it is growing like that, they looked like a Siamese twin with two heads, one body, and li really like your woven pots, they look great
I’m finding the Alocasias at the stores recently are having this problem of a fungus or edema Both my silver dragon and dragon scale are also struggling. The other Alocasias that are older haven’t had this problem
@@josejosephine my 2 yr old Alocasia don’t have that problem but the silver dragon and dragon scale bought several months ago struggle with both edema and a fungus that I’ve sprayed them with sulfur.

Your plants are so beautiful! I need to try moss poles! Your plants love theirs! Great growing
Thank you! ❤ I would say, definitely try it! They have a lot of pro's, but also some cons I find.

Oh also you can use a substrate called Leca clay balls or Lechuza-Pon Xx
Your Melanochrysum is simply stunning! ^^
Thank you! ❤ I already bought it with rather big leaves, I do hear people saying this one can be very hard to size up from being juvenile.

Did you make those pots? If so, would you be willing to make a video on how you make them?
Love your Tordum!
Thank you! ❤ It has grown a lot over the last two years.

Oh that's fun to hear, those leaves from the Dean MC Dowell can get huge! Are your siamese twin leaves also big?
Thank you!❤
30:19 it's easier if u make it into 2 words Skeez-muh Low-Glo-teez 🤗
I remember it cause it sounds like "Excuse moi, you're poor bish" 😅
Hahahah, thanks for this tip! 😂 Will see if this helps, hihi.

Oh, that's interesting to hear! What are you struggling with some of your alocasias? I have also had mine for at least two years now.
