    I am not a plant mom, I am a mom of a plant mom. My 17 year old daughter is totally a plant mom. She started out with a couple and over the past two years she has grown her collection hugely. Now my kitchen counter looks like your piano with all of her plants taking over. We have plants in just about every room in the house now, and her bedroom is like a jungle. She's on plant Facebook groups and wanting to go to plant open houses. Her teachers keep giving her cuttings of their plants. I had to put my foot down and tell her no more plants for a while, she's going to college next year and guess who'll be taking care of all these plants? That's right plant Grandma that's who. 🤣

    I realised I was taking my plants seriously when I started running around taking all my indoor plants outside whenever it rained or stormed so they could get "quality rain water," not sure if that's a thing for other plant mums, but it is for me. I also worry about them when I go away and put my water loving plants in the bath tub and shower sitting all their little bottoms in a bit of water.

    • @moderndaymom7024
      @moderndaymom7024 3 роки тому +36

      Totally a thing. I'm not a plant mom but we are avid gardeners and we save rain water because our lawn and our garden does so much better after it rains. Like we have barrels hooked up where water will drain from it we collect it and then use that to water our garden.

I find most plants like to dry out not completely but dry enough that it isn't moist. Then drench them till water comes through the bottom. Earthworm castings or fish emulsion I use for fertilizer. All plants love light. Low light does not mean no light at all. Just not direct light on ferns. They'll burn the leaves. Good luck

    Aww! Welcome to the plant mom community! Best tip I have is to read the tag on the plant before you buy it. The tag will tell you what kind of light it needs, as well as how fast it will grow and how much water it needs.
    If those conditions match where you're wanting to put the plant, you're good to go! If not, there is another plant out there that will fit those conditions. Keep looking!

    Crispy edges on the leaves means the humidity is too low. Always always ALWAYS make sure your plants can drain well - never let them sit in water (especially not Violet there... ;-) ) If in doubt, WAIT. Thick leaves = succulents; they need to be in sandy soil. Always wash your hands before working with your plants; also be sure to clean your tools after you're done, ESPECIALLY if you've been working outdoors. And quarantine new plants until you're sure they're pest free.
    Most important advice: Relax and enjoy them. And yeah, talk (and sing) to them. They like it - you can ask 'em ;-)

One was a big monsters (which I did not even know what that was) and the other was a yucci palm tree. Starting watching plant video to learn how to take care of them. People also were showing their collections and that was it. Since then I have bought 5 grow lights, 5 small humidifiers ( calatheas have to have high humidity :). Plus now I really like philadenrons.

      Basil is an annual and doesn’t usually last. Mint is an excellent plant to start with because they are not too picky and even if you think it is dead, you will find it will come back. Chocolate mint is especially hardy and hard to kill. If you put it in your yard place it is in a container or isolated area or it will take over.

Not all of them by a few of mine I just can't get a read on.

    Places like Lowe’s (and I believe Home Depot?) usually have a discounted section for plants that have not been loved at the stores 🙁 and sometimes they just need watering or pruning or repotting and some TLC and they bounce right back! Usually good discounts too if you are serious about this ‘obsession’. Good thing is you can give away plants to a school or maybe church.
    Now, can’t wait for the vlog where you all plant a home garden in the backyard and use your plants/herbs for cooking/salads/etc! Plant Mom Tip: Make 3 garden boxes (4’x4’ or 5’x5’ are good sizes for a variety of plants, get some ready made or hammer some wood together yourself) and plant herbs in one, veggies in another, and wildflowers and butterfly/bee friendly plants and flowers in the last.

      Aloes like to wait forever before they receive water. If you recently watered it and it’s leaves are squishy, hold off on the water. It has way too much. If you haven’t watered in a long time and it’s leaves are starting to get squishy it means it needs more water. I know that sounds contradictory, but it has worked for my aloe. Keep in mind that aloes are desert plants and are used to super dry arid places. Better to hold off on water than to over water. They like deep soaks then nothing for like months. My aloe is just now needing watered after four months of none. Also they like to be in small pots. My 2 foot wide aloe is in a 5inch pot and it loves it there.
