- Join me for some plant updates and houseplant chores! Showing you the inexpensive new plants I got! One is super underrated in my opinion. Another is a weird conglomerate plant that has a dubious future haha - and when do I choose to add preventative pest treatments? Also taking some time to chat about "death plugs" and what to do about them the little net or core you may find in your plant soil. Plus we talk a little bit about pigments and what brings plants their colors 😊💜 Let's hang out and talk about our plants :)
What plants do you grow together in the same pot? 🧐💕🪴
There are so many plant care tasks to tackle and so many fun observations to share when you have over 300 houseplants! Let's do some plant care 🌿💪🥳🧽🌿✨

I'm really sorry to hear that you've been unwell. I hope you are diagnosed and cured very soon.
Thank you so much Tiffany! 💜🥰 I hope you have a wonderful week!🌱✨
Have to make another point. You are such an interesting person. So smart and articulate. I hope you are better soon. Those doctors need to get with it and do their job!
I myself have experienced the difference in the growth of my young plants with the netting on and after I remove it. I notice that there can be factors that determine when the plants don't thrive with neither the plastic or the felt like material versus the times when the plant does not show any issues with the caging material. I understand why growers and nurseries set their plugs up with their young plants. It helps when they need to move the plants around to keep the roots stable and my understanding is that their tiny young roots can have nutritional support focused in the area within the " caged" plug. Then I believe there can be a point of growth when it can hinder development. Then i find that certain plant roots do not thrive if there is not enough air flow or water ebb and flow around those roots. Those plants seem to have an uphill battle with good development of petioles and foilage. I then carefully remove the caging material and replant the pothos or whatever back into the same pot and enviroment the plant's growth is markedly improved.
You are such a fountain of knowledge. I ALWAYS learn something here!!
Thank you so much for busting the death plug myth. That has driven me crazy for years. So many people believe that's why their plants are dying.
To be honest, one of my Ficus Benjamina was really unwell, it always dropped leaves even tho he was in the best spot in the house. Then I found this weird sponge in the middle. It was extremely moist, the soil was completely dry but this thing was just dripping wet. I removed it carefully and now he is thriving.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ I found your channel and fell in love!!!! Have a great week!!! I'm praying you find out what is going on and get some relief soon!!!!
Thanks so much Elizabeth!!!!!! I appreciate you😊💜💕🌿✨ Have a beautiful week!🌱🧚💜
Good call on ‘death plug’. It basically air prunes the roots like a fabric pot. They work great!
I usually repot as soon as i get home to check for root rots and pests.
Love this type of video so much!❤ Please use this music during the plant chores forever! Its so calming and relaxing. 🥰
I personally have had plants start to die and I had no idea why until I found the plugs. The roots inside the plug had started to rot, and few roots had grown out the plug. Within 2 weeks of completely removing the plug the plant started growing like crazy. It finally sized up and I never had issues again. That was the only thing I changed. I checked my other plants and sure enough, 5 had plugs and those were the ones that weren't sizing up. They weren't dying, they just did absolutly nothing. Within 2 weeks they started growing once the plug was gone. Not all my plant with plugs had issues. But the ones who did have issues really had issues. The plugs were a very tight felt fabric type ring around the roots. I think they were just being smothered, either by the fabric itself or the water retention it caused atound the roots. The foam and other types of plug are probably better. The mesh ones I've found on my plants seemed to make no difference. But man did the fabric ones cause problems for me. Anyway, I hope you feel better! Head infections of any kind is aweful.
I like grouping different varieties of the same plant. For instance, I have the green, inner and outer variagated hoya bella together and I LOVE it! I also have sever holiday cactus in one pot (1 Thanksgiving and 2 Easter cactus) 💚
Oh no.....please take care of yourself as much as you take care of your plants ...sending up prayers
I think when people refer to “death plugs” they are referring to the plugs made from plastic 🤔 I’ve only come across plastic plugs once but it was brutal ☹️ I hope you get to the bottom of your health issue soon 😀🇨🇦
Oh my gosh!! I have never seen a plastic plug before!! Are they hard like a net pot? That DOES sound like it would be bad for a plant! Maybe all the places I’ve worked at somehow sourced from nurseries that didn’t use those. Never found one in a Home Depot or Lowe’s plant either, just cloth and sometimes sponge. I’m definitely gonna be on the lookout for plastic ones now though. Thanks for pointing this out!! Sorry you had to find one!
Thanks so much for watching and the well wishes, have a great week Linda 😊💜✨🌿
Yes, indeed. In Europe we get a lot of plastic net plugs and that’s a bad thing. Especially for the Alocasia corns and the bigger anthurium roots. 😵💫
I hope you stay as healthy as possible. Thanks for your amazing videos :)
I’ve bought many plants and seen many death plugs it’s sad what some farmers do they put plugs so plants can die and store buys more then you buy more it’s a sad cycle a lot of people do that’s why I always check my pants when I buy them
I consider the cloth ones death plugs too, if on a plant that the roots are tiny and fibrous the roots have a tough time getting through imo, then you remove it and rip whatever roots did make it through off.
@@reallybigplant I agree about the plastic ones. See them on almost all the aglaonema I buy in box stores over the last year. They often lead to rot if left on, but also the fibrous ones (not net, like a cotton gauze fabric) can create similar issue as they kind of break down, are hard to fully detach, and aren't easy to sep for thin root plants like someone else said. Seen more of those on iresines and I think a pilea, so had to get that off.
Love your videos, I’ve learned so much! You have such a beautiful personality, always smiling ❤. I’m sorry to hear that you have been feeling unwell I will pray for you and hopefully find a diagnosis. Thanks for sharing about what’s been going on, we’re here for you! 💕☺️😊🌷
I love your channel, so peaceful! Praying for your health issue 🙏
"Any pest hitchhiking on this plant" cracked me up😹
That money tree is beautiful!
get well soon, hope the medical professionals can help you with your health
Found this in my feed- happy I found this and u provided some great information so I say THANK YOU!!!🤗🤗Hope u feel better soon and find out what ur health issues is🙏🏾🙏🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Science Corner with Kaitlyn got you my new subscription. Loved the info about leaf pigments. Thx
Hi love, love love your videos. You are so very informative. I appreciate that and you love your purple hair and nails purple is one of my favorite colors.
I love marantas, calatheas and ferns! I recently got a gorgeous and very full ctenenthe for $9.00 at Walmart. It was the only one left, and surprisingly it was gorgeous and not beat up and half dead.
Yes!! Def take the tree back.. They should give you a refund.. I'm also dealing with a lifting retina and praying it doesn't tear so I don't have to have surgery. Healing energy to you for whatever they discover or don't discover.
Thanks for this video 😊
Ok, I’m an older person, Irish skin/ back in 80’s, all gals did tanning beds 🤦♀️
Not me, couldn’t take it.
In Senior year we found an ad in back of magazine. Tanning pills. All natural.
We all discussed in class- eventually maybe a dare,
“Joyce! You could be tan by prom.”
Ordered, took them- yea, I was kinda orange but def not ivory anymore 😂
It was basically carrot.
Palms of hands & soles of feet/ def orange 😂😂😂
I learned so much! I'm going to tell everyone about that chlorophyll/leaf color thing !
5:25 I have one. It was clearance at my local Bunnings for $15, they were about $36 AUD I think.
I kept the two bigger plants, but I also took two smaller ones out that I gave to my mother. Hers are in soil. Mines in Leca.
Love your videos! I find them very informative and I think you are very intelligent ! Hope you feel better soon!
I hope you feel better soon 💚 thanks for another great video
I’ve been following your channel since the beginning.:)
Love all your videos so much.
You always have great energy which is very appreciated.
And your doggie is the cutest.
I always learn so much from you, thank you.
Sorry you’ve been going through some health challenges.
I hope you get some relief asap.
Would love to see a plant tour some time, love your style and home.
GE! I'm sending get well wishes also. Sounds really awful and has done a number on your face. Recently I was told by a doctor too much antibiotics isn't good for your liver. Word of caution there. All situations come to pass and we're all wishing you the absolute best care and treatment to come your way.
Wow. Best informative plant video I have watched in a long time! TY
I love your black and white shirt. It looks very retro, reminds me of the eighties
I hope the scan will find whatever is ailing you. Head pain is the worst! I hope they didn't miss any mold mitigation from that water leak upstairs. Could that be the problem? Thanks for hanging in there and giving us this fun and informative video. Well done.
Thanks so much!! 💜 I really hope it’s not from that since we aired everything out for so long but thank you for this suggestion, I will look into mold issues. I really appreciate your support 🥰 I hope you have a lovely week💜💜🌱✨🌿
I am SO OVER spider mites!! I am sick of dealing with them on my planites! I feel your pain.
My MIL purchased one of those mixed plants pots at our local grocery store about 5 or so years ago. I separated them about a year later and now the ficus elastica is taller than me (F5’2”), the thanksgiving cactus overflows a 12” terra cotta pot and just started growing some flower buds, and the little palm survived my kitty (rip Barbara) and finally bloomed this winter!
Thank you for getting a mic 🙌 we can here you so much better
Hope you feel better💚💜
Oh man sorry your feeling yucky. Thanks for sharing praying for your quick healing and recovery
Would love to see a decorating video, lovely home... 🪴🪴🪴
So glad you updated us on the large money tree you purchases and the smaller ones you already unbraided. Many times u tubers say they will update you about some plant, but then they never do. I was very pleasantly surprised. About the death plugs: I have discovered one once that was made out of plastic and I do believe it would have hindered the plant's growth eventually. I do agree though most of the time they slowly dissolve into the soil.
My cat palm didnt make it either. Also on death plugs. Its not the cloth ones its the platic cages that a lot of agleonema and calathea come with are the ones that get plants
Oh no!! I’ve been wondering how your cat palm was doing, sorry it didn’t work out 😅
I had no idea that there were plastic plugs!!!! I guess I’ve been extremely lucky in never coming across them. Maybe they’re less common in the cities I’ve lived somehow…🤔 or maybe I don’t often buy the types of plants that would be given plastic?? I’m baffled I’ve never seen this. Seems like a terrible choice to do it that way! Thanks for sharing, I’m gonna be on the lookout for plastic now!
Thanks for watching and for clarifying 😊💜🌿✨ have a great week!!💕
My beautiful colorful pink Chinese evergreen had two plastic plugs which I thought were great. For me, it made it quite easy to break up the plant and repot each separately. Fingers crossed I won't have any problems going forward.
I appreciate you making videos even when you're not feeling well. I only companion plant with some of my carnivorous plants, but I'm not against doing it with other plants.
i love how you did say that "plant appreciation" perfect saying there. love it!! i enjoy your knowledge, please do keep teaching us. thank you kindly. ( ;
I think the main issue with the "death" plugs is trying to remove them as the roots grow through and tangle with them. For that reason, I choose to remove them immediately for convenience later.
This is a good call! If you immediately remove them when the roots are still small, it can help avoid problems for sure as long as the plant can handle the transfer at that stage. I agree that once the root system grows in and around the plug it makes it way harder to get it out without basically cutting off all the roots. Thanks for pointing this out!💜🌿✨
I truly don’t get how people get spider mites or pest on so many plants omfg this is why I ALWAYS repot my plants when I get them. I’ve been collecting for years and repotting them as soon as I get them has helped so much. With checking the roots and taking them out of that wet peat moss they’re in. And also, one reason those are called “death plug” is bc of the way they hold moisture as well. Plants are grown in green house which help the soil dry out much faster than they do in our regular homes. I don’t follow that “let ur plant acclimate before repotting” rule. Like, yeah let the plant get use to ur home THANK go disturb its roots??? lmao just get it done all at once, imo. I’ve never had a plant go into complete shock and die. And again, I don’t deal with pest.
Hope you feel better soon.
Always look forward to your post, at the end of a busy weekend.
Wow! beautiful new plants!
😊🥰💜🌿 Thanks for watching! Have a lovely week✨
I love all your videos, thanks for sharing your joy and knowledge of plants! Sending positive vibes, love, and/or prayers(whatever you'll take) for what you're going through. I'm hopeful they'll be able to figure out what's going on and be able to start you on a healing journey soon! 💜
I got a smaller silver band maranta from Lowe’s and it took about a week or two for it to start praying. I thought it had root rot so I lifted it out and the roots were white. Not sure why it did this, but it’s slowly starting to love its new home now and I’m so glad to have it. ❤
Oh yay!! That’s very encouraging thanks for sharing that. Excited for you that you got one too 😍 I should have shown the roots in this video but mine also has white looking roots, at least on the outer part of the soil ball, so hopefully it perks up like yours! Thanks for watching! Hope you have a wonderful week 😊💜🌿✨
Hope you figure out the whole sinus thing because you have a beautiful smile! Thank you for continuing to film videos for us...I learn something new each time and I'm assured by your encouragement!!!
Hey Kaitlyn! I wanted to say that I absolutely love your channel, I always get so excited when I see you’ve posted a video! I’m sorry to hear you haven’t felt well lately. I just wanted to suggest that you have your doctor send you to an ear/nose/throat specialist. Both my boyfriend and my cousin had a fungal infection in their sinuses that led them to have very similar symptoms that you’re having. If you don’t catch these infections they can get pretty bad. Please make sure to check on that! Sinus issues can affect your teeth, eyes, ears, etc! Anyway, hope you get to the bottom of it soon! Sending you all my healing thoughts!
Hey, Hope you get feeling better! Prayers and good vibes!
💜Hope you feel better soon!💜
I often plant philodendron types together. Like a Horse Head with a Brazil. And A variegated Burle Marx with the Solid green form. Same for the upright Leon Lime Phil with the same version of the plant in green form called Eva. So far no problems with those combo pots.
Thanks for sharing how you do it! Those sound like good reliable combos that must look beautiful with their deliberate variety as well 😍💜✨🌱 love the variegated + non variegated look🧚
Thank u for all the knowledge feel better soon
Thank you!!💜 have a lovely week Christel 😊✨🌱
Great video. The leaf color topic was super interesting!
I hope you find a resolution to the health issues.
I'm so excited for a new video!! ❤❤
🥳💜💜✨ woohooo!!! Thanks for watching 🥰 I hope you have a beautiful week!🌿🌱💜
@@reallybigplant I loved the video! Awesome as always 🥰🥰 I hope you have a wonderful week too 💓
Love to watch your videos and your little Pom who always makes me smile. My plants have never had spider mites, just scale and more commonly, mealies, so I was filing the curly edge advice away. My experience with Frankenpots has always been with succulents and has always been bad; I was nodding when you discussed the store putting dying plants together. Probably not always true, however. Best of luck with your health!
I amend my judgment about the store potting the plants together! It may have been just a coincidence that the plant I had seen declining and the one I got both had thaum xanadu in them. Because in the 2 weeks since making this video, I’ve been seeing way more combo pots at multiple grocery stores, so maybe it’s the local growers around my area.
Thanks for sharing your experience! My Pom says hi 🥰 thanks for the well wishes too. Have a lovely week!💜💜
Hi! Love your videos. You’re the first planty youtuber I started watching actually at the start of my plant journey, so I’m happy to see you posting more regularly again.
When are we going to get a plant tour? :)
Love the video. You are so knowledgeable about plants and, it refreshing to watch and listen to you. You are a wonderful teacher of the plant world. I look forward to many more of your videos. 😊
Ohhh yay I’m so glad we’re on the plant journey train together, thanks for watching!! 🚂🌿✨😄💜
Plant tour coming…..eventually 😅
Hiya! Thank you for another fun video. I've been dealing with similar symptoms with my sinuses and just can't shake it. I hope you get an answer and share it with us. I always say I have enough plants and then my enthusiasm and the joy they bring can't stop me! lol Cheers!
Your Frankin plant reminds me of the dish gardens that end up on the sad discount rack since they aren’t compatible. Please repot and separate
💚
That closeup of the new summer glory leaf reminded me of a hippopotamus for some reason 🤷♀️😆😆😆
I so enjoy your channel & videos! Thank you for the information regarding the “death plugs”. I’ve only come across them once & I carefully removed them. Nice to know I don’t need to worry if I find them in the future. I’m praying that you have some answers on what’s happening with your health. I hope you feel better soon.
Thanks for watching, so glad you thought this was informative. Making people feel less anxious about the plugs was exactly my goal so thanks for this comment 😊 Thanks so much for your well wishes too! Have a lovely week🥰💜
Enjoyed this
i don't like "death plugs" cause sometimes they will be too crowded and it makes it super hard to separate. that name is pretty dramatic tho lol
hope you feel better soon! 💚
I love a good existential plant video ☺️ So sorry you're not feeling well and also that it's some kind of mystery disease. I can relate to having to focus on plants and the little good things. Hope you'll feel back to your normal smiling self soon! Love from northern Sweden (where the grass is still brown and there were snowflakes yesterday 😢)
Thank you so much Marie💜 sorry it’s still cold where you are! I bet the tropical plants are tough to keep happy…but you get to live in the land of the most legendary magical winters 🥰❄️
I hope you get some warm days soon 😊 have a lovely week!💜
@@reallybigplant my last name is Sommar (Summer) 😭 and it's all I want - but now, finally balcony weather!
One of those plants in the mixed trash plant pot looks like a black bat flower plant, hard to tell, here in bc Canada they will exchange or refund plants
I dislike The cloth death plugs for plants with thinner roots, they have a tough time pushing through the cloth then when you try to remove it so they can expand, you rip out whatever roots did get through. Plants with more robust roots deal with them better
Love the info about the colours of leaves when the chlorophyll dies off, ❤
Great video, very informative. Hope you feel better soon! 💚
Thank you Karen! Have a great week!😊💜✨🌱🌿
I had death plugs in my watermelon peperomia and orchud olants and they both died. Probably depends on what kind of plant has them. Not that they couldn't have survived with them but for me i rhink they made it harder to get the watering right. Hope you feel better soon!
Hmmm you’re totally right! I don’t often get peperomias so I don’t have as much experience with them. I also usually wouldn’t repot peperomias while working in plant shops because they tend to be a bit fragile so I haven’t looked in their soil too often. Sorry to hear this has been your experience! Sounds like it would definitely be beneficial to remove the plugs from those plants. Thanks so much for sharing!💜🌿✨💕 I hope you have a great week thanks for watching!😊✨
Oh my gosh, Kaitlyn!! I'm going to pray for you, for the Lord Jesus to bring the right course of treatment into your hands. God bless you, God heal you! ❤
Aww thank you so much I really appreciate you!🥰💜💕✨🌱 I hope you have a beautiful week 💜🌸
@@reallybigplant 💓💓💓
I like how grouping plants looks, but I can't do it. My ocd needs them in there own pot next other plants of the same genus
🙏🏿💙🙏🏿
I’ve had several plants struggling and found a plug. After removing it, the plant started thriving
I bought a couple different aglionemas from hd in the typical $20 ceramic pots Costa uses….. anyway it had like a plastic plug. I took them off during repot and both plants died. The holes were definitely big enough for the roots to escape but i fell for the hype
The plastic ones won’t harm then but I had plants with thick thick fiber and roots couldn’t go through and had rot cause too much moisture under and trapped
I personally have had issues the plug I lost 2 plants to stem rot and other people have found not netting but a plastic pot there
Hello! New subscriber here just found you. Question: why you would keep your plant in the same pot and medium? Most likely the Miranta is being choked alive from the heavy soil they used. Good luck!
You can return plants at Home Depot within 90 days! Just bring the plant back if you have the receipt. Hope you get better soon, lady! 🫶🏼
Spoke too soon, you can you will return it. 😂 but yes they should def refund the whole amount.
Love your videos ❤
Question
I have a marantha that has webbing towards the base. I can't see any spider mites but it doesn't look like spider Web. Could it be old webbing? Can spider mites die off on their own? Should I be worried? The plant seems completely healthy and happy
I would not worry!💜 It could totally be just normal spider webs or residual uninhabited webbing. I would give it a rinse and wipe off the webbing if you are able and check again in a few weeks to see if anything has changed. But it sounds like you don’t need to be concerned if the plant isn’t showing signs of damage 😊 I also have gotten webbing on my plants that is not from spider mites but looks very similar, must be from some other kind of spiders. If it’s on the soil surface as well, sometimes there is mold or mycelial fungus that can form that also kind of looks like mite webbing and can just be washed off or removed during a repot and usually doesn’t become problematic (it also usually looks more like clumps of hair instead of webbing so you’d probably notice the difference if that was it)
Hope this helps! 💜🌿🌱✨💕
Death plugs with mesh or worse plastic mesh is horrible for plants with very fine roots like most Hoyas or cacti, their roots have extreme difficulty breaking through the plugs. For plants with chunky roots, it's rarely an issue, unless people overwater (like me lol)
Return the soggy plant back to Home Depot! All you need is your receipt!
I think it's mostly the plastic plugs that they don't like.
Whatever happened to your green chair?
Вітання з України ! В вас гарний канал ,мені дуже подобається. Я виводила павутинного кліща собачим шампунем від кліщів і бліх. Розводила шампунь в воді і оприскувала рослини . А ще краще їх в цій воді купати . Треба горщик обмотати плівкою ( що б земля не висипалась) а потім занурити листям в воду і добре пополоскати . Тоді вода з шампунем всюди попадає у всі пазухи листя . І все . мені вистачило одного разу помити і павутинний кліщ зник !
Go to dentist it could be your wisdom teeth if you haven’t taken them out yet I had same side affects and my wisdom tooth was dead and infected
Somsorryabout the rotten money tree, I hope you get a refund. Also hoping you get the answers for healing
You can take it back for a refund
I hope you get a full refund from Home Depot. So disappointing! Also, I hope you get some health relief soon.
