I would 💚 to have you do a multiple episode breakdown on peperomia care. I think that's whqt it was lol. I am definitely struggling with them and haven't found any videos that really help. Also, when I get a plant that is new to me or that I'm struggling with, I come to your channel FIRST because of how you "nerd out" (in the bestest way of course lol😊) on all things about that plant!!✌🏽
I agree that Drea is an excellent teacher, but if you need help now and Drea hasn't done a video on your particular plant species yet, The Spruce is a good resource, as is Planterina although I sometimes find her videos hard to follow, and she drives me crazy! LOL
Yes, please do a Peperomia video for us. Maybe mix it up a little with common one's like Hope, Watermelon, and any others that others request. That would be very helpful and informative as your videos always are. 💐🎈👏❤️🌵👍
I don't have much experience with peperomia, but what has worked for me is treat them more like succulents when it comes to repotting and watering. Basically, the thicker the stems/leaves are, the more they resemble succulents when it comes to care. Definitely avoid repotting when the soil is wet. When it comes to watering “taco test” is a good indicator that the plants needs water. If the leaves can be easily bent into the shape of a taco shell then you know it is time to water. In the beginning it is helpful to check how firm the leaves are every few days to feel it out. It's a bit more difficult to check with more exotic ones like pepreomia nevada, but it can be done 😉 Hope that helps somewhat.
@@msscamp100 🤣🤣🤣
Loved how you filmed the plants in their spots and the comparison photos! Your Donkey tail is huge,I hate repotting them due to loosing so many leaves! If you want your cane Begonias to bush out,keep pinching the growth tips,it’s hard to do but as soon as the new branch has 2+ sets of leaves,pinch the tip off and keep doing it to new branches,when it gets left to grow on its own,it just gets taller and taller,I’ve got so many cane begonias,including the Maculata. I would love to know how you did that pot extension,brilliant idea! 💚🪴🌿
❤❤❤❤❤ loved this episode. Lots of info and wow beautiful plants 🪴. You’re a great plant parent 😊. What’s the white envelope???
Thank you! White envelope? You mean the white sachets hanging on some of the plants?
I loved seeing your whole collection, especially with the comparisons from last year!
Glad you enjoyed it!💚
I still haven't got a raven zz but I did get a second regular one and put my 4 shoots in and now I've got growth from the og shoots and the new shoots. I was stuck with 4 rhizomes and 4 shoots with one dying off to have another. It's nice to have a fuller looking plant and for it to actually be growing now!
As to Theo, if he's anything like my dog he'll give up on the plants. My dog would get jealous when I was doing plant care or repotting etc and now he will just lay down with a toy and watch me. It's extra nice BC I can put plants on the floor and low shelves and have no issues with him attacking the plants. He lays on a storage bench in by bedroom with the golden pothos literally resting on his back and he doesn't snap at it or give it a tug where a year ago he would grab a plant that grabbed him first.
The cat that doesn't actually live in my planty areas, will occasionally sneak in and give my elephant palm and spider plants hair cuts. It's more of an issue in winter BC she can't get grass if she goes outside so I think she does it intentionally to get sick (BC she does get stuck after). I find it fascinating that she only goes for the plants that are non toxic. Her cat tree top two levels have tradescantia on both shelves and she doesn't touch them. Not sure if they're toxic or not but she's def for the grass-like ones. Maybe getting some plants that are "who cares if the cat munches them" like spider plants and tucking them with the others Theo will say least go after the ones that won't harm him and that you're indifferent about 🤷🏼♀️
Enjoyed your tour!! Most plants are ones I can’t keep alive but I do live in Puerto Rico and it is warmer. 🪴🌿🌱🙋🏼♀️
I definitely do not hate calatheas. I think they are so beautiful. I do have 3 now, and they are a little fussy, but I am going to try to find the right thing for them. No windows in our bathroom, but I might just get a grow light in there. the plants i have that love the north window are the ficus tineke, Sophia and burgundy. They didn't like the south window
I love your collection! There’s a great variety of genera, which I don’t often see in other people’s collections. I admire all your prayer type plants, they seem to be living their best life in your care 🥰
Thank you so much!💚
I have been binge watching and enjoying all your videos, even the older ones, and I want to say I really like your hair curly like this! It is very attractive on you. I watched the video on trolls so I just wanted to tell you I think you are a very lovely woman and looking your absolute best here. Your home is gorgeous! Do you live in this huge house all by yourself? Don't worry, I am not a creeper. I am merely jealous, LOL. With the choices I have made in my life I have NEVER been able to support myself and probably never will be. I am 61 this year so starting a new career is not in the cards. My sister and my youngest daughter are strong independant women who live on the own. I have been married for over 37 years and we made the decision for me to stay home and raise our kids. But what that did was make us always on the verge of being flat broke constantly. If I had a career we could have had a big beautiful house too.
Yep! Just me and the furry children 🐈🐈⬛
I love your calathea presentation the best! Feels so full and balanced with the big and small plants together
Yes, it's very nice 💯
Thank you!💚
Many thanks for this wonderful houseplant tour of your collection! I always love seeing your videos as well as your fur babies. Wishing you all the best for this New Year! Take care. 👌🪴🥰
Thank you so much!💚
LOVED the video! I think you are the only PlantTuber who”s two hour video I can just watch through in one sitting. Or at all! I just enjoy your commentary and information. Thanks!
Yay! Thank you!💚
Wow! That was a lot of filming, thanks for the tour! I love the occasional shots of George, we rarely get to see him and of course Theo is as cute as ever!
Glad you enjoyed it and special members only cat update coming your way soon💚
I have written off peperomias but may be willing to try them again at some point.
Love all the detail you provide. I'm half way through and processing before I finish. You seem to do well with the string of plants. I killed some pearls earlier this year. If I were getting only one string plant, which would you suggest?
Of the ones in the Curio genus (pearls, bananas, dolphins, etc) I have found the pearls to be the easiest and the dolphins to be the hardest. The Ceropegia genus ones (string of hearts/string of spades) are probably second easiest behind string of pearls for me personally. However, keep in mind what is easy for one person may not be easy for the next and vice versa.💚
@@AlohaPlantLife Actually I said I killed my pearls but I have a 2 inch pot with a green shriveled string that's about an inch long and 2 flat green circles among a bit of brown stuff. On occasion I give it a spritz and hope. I recently saw your video from about a year ago "Is your plant really dead?" Fingers crossed. Thanks. I'll try pearls again rather than hearts or turtles.
I'm a big fan of your collection 🌿 and I love seeing the cats. TFS and all your hard work and dedication. Keep up the good work 👍
Thank you so much, and exciting cat update coming soon!💚
Great seeing your collection. Now I have to watch the fertilizer burn video 😂
32:40 "And then Theo ate it" 😂 That was funny. I have my own vegetarian cat at home, too. I don't know what to do anymore because my cat seems to like chewing on any plant he can reach.
Theo has gotten better thankfully. It’s really just two plants he sometimes goes after now and always just to get my attention.
I am so ready for this video🎉🎉🎉🎉
Love your tour. I just recently purchased a bunch of plants this month and am enjoying learning about each of them. I’m on a journey.
Reading this took me back to some fond memories of when I first got into houseplants💚
@@AlohaPlantLife super exciting. So far I have collected all my favourites and doing well with the tropicals. I love them so much I ordered shelves and lights to build a plant wall display. Makes me very happy.
I have 3 caperata peperomias that have given me hell. Not sure how to fix them anymore . They have had root rot and bugs. I have them now on my verandah to live or die. See if outside will fix them. Please do a peperomia video on this. Focusing on the caperatas I have found them the hardest. Love your videos. Your new fan from Australia 🇦🇺❤
@PureAussiegirl - I hear you! OMG, do I hear you! My Peperomia Frost has been kicking my butt for a couple of months now. I also struggled with my Peperomia Trinervis. For some reason my Peperomia Emerald Ripple was a piece of cake after I potted him in a terracotta pot with Drea's succulent mix. I think I have finally figured out what the problem was with my Frost - too little light. He was dropping leaves like nobodies business until I moved him from an East window into a lower tier on a plant stand in my southern window. I haven't lost a single leaf since then. My Peperomia Trinervis is now growing like a weed, but I don't know what I started doing right. I am waiting with bated breath for the Peperomia care video! Did you add dolomite lime (calcium) to your potting soil? I was having a lot of problems with my Watermelon Peperomia until I add that to his soil. Now he is putting out an entirely new branch with several new growth points.
Just curious what type of bugs?
@@AlohaPlantLife I'm not sure. I'm very new to indoor plants. It might have even been a fungal issue. The leaves had a weird yellow tinge in between?it's the root rot that I really knocked them with. So they are on my verandah. It's summer here or supposed to be. More cloud then sun.. I'm so so so jealous of your Stromanthe triostar too. Another one sitting on my verandah think it had t thrips. I took a leaf off. I really need to get a magnifying glass. Also extremely jealous of your Ctenanthe Golden mosaic. It's so beautiful!! Definitely thrips on mine.Could see them very clear. It was in isolation treated it for 3 weeks. Now she is back. I really really hope she picks up.! Love her! Looking straggly but coming back with a new leaf now. My $18 black maranta should be here in a few days with another 8 plants I bought from an online store. If I can keep her alive you should get one. Will let you know how I go in the next few months. I really don't think you will have any trouble at all. All your plants are beautiful 😍
‘Ginger’ is stunning! Thanks for the tour. Happy New Year. 🎉
Happy new year to you too!
Oh, thank you!!!A video for two days💚.Happy New Year💝Drea!
As far as the Peperomia care video, what about breaking it up into succulent, not succulent, and absolutely not succulent? I know there are technical terms for those 3 classes, but they escape me at the moment. LOL Thank you for mentioning your issues with your green Maranta and needing to repot him in a deeper pot. I was also having problems with Maranta's potted in shallow pots. In fact, I killed my red Maranta last summer. I have since replaced him, let him acclimate for a month, then put him in a deeper pot and he is growing like gangbusters! I always had my lemon lime Maranta in a deeper pot, mainly because I didn't have a shallow pot, and he is also growing like gangbusters. Have you considered getting a spray bottle, hooking it on your belt loop, and spraying Theo when you catch him messing with your plants? Depending on the cat, it can be very effective! I have always had cats, and that is my go to correction. I especially like the pump up spray bottles. Those suckers will squirt across a pretty big room! On another note, I might have to check into Hoya's. I really like the look of some of yours. 😃 On yet another note, I would love it if you would start your 'living plant wall' in the bathroom and film updates maybe every quarter. I have been thinking of doing a living wall in my living room, and it would be really neat to have a reference to create it. Just a suggestion. Your house, your choice.
I like your suggestion of breaking the Peperomia video down in those categories. That seems best; that will the info can benefit everyone. 😊
Your home is beautiful, lady.
Thank you!
It's funny how d I fferentcpkants do well for some and vice versa. My scindapsus are a pain in the butt but my Cebu Blue thrives
Happy New Year!
Same to you!
Hi, great vid as usual… your chain of hearts is getting to much Sun and not enough water. Leaves get smaller with under watering and too much light. I’d also say the same for you donkey tail as far as to much light goes. I had a 3 meter long donkey tail and decided to repot it because it had been in the same pot for years. She lost so many leaves 😞 It was far from root bound as far as depth of the pot goes. It was more from overcrowding at the top, because like yourself, I put all the dropped leaves(?) back in the pot. I’d suggest not doing that anymore, instead when the new growth from the top of the pot gets to a decent length, snap the tip off so it branches and makes the top of the pot seem fuller. Have a little pot nearby for all of the dropped leaves and start a new plant. I really hope all of that made sense lol.. p.s Haworthia like a deep pot
Great video 💚 can't wait for a peperomia video! I'd prefer all peps in one video so that they are all in one place. But you should do whatever works best for you! 💚🌿
Noted!
🇦🇺 Happy New Year Drea 🎉🎉
Love the walk through showing your plants in all their glory and difficulties... And Adventures with Theo 🤣 I'm so sorry, but as you went along everytime I heard Theo's name I ended up laughing harder and harder. Poor Theo, it's ok, we know he's loved. I have two Australian Cattle Dogs (heelers) I have no plants on the floor or lower window sills, as the plant survival rate would be zero! As for calling plants she/her, it's very common, think countries (except Germany) and ships/boats etc.
I adore the tiny dancer, I have one and she is a prolific grower, and I agree, they hardly ever lose leaves, and those tiny cupped leaves just remind me of ballerina hands, so graceful.
P. Tetragona, I also have this one, I love how it arches downwards, and seriously! That P. String of turtles??! Should be in the Guinness book of records.
I'm guessing that your selaginella didn't make it? No, my memory isn't that good I just watched last year's version recently. I was very curious to see how it went, mine only survive in terrarium type planting, the one i have in an open glass sphere only did well when I basically drowned it and left it alone.
Lovely to see your gorgeous collection in situ and to see the comparisons.
I hope this year is just amazing for you and i look forward to catching your segments throughout
The selaginella did not make it unfortunately☹️
In reference to your Cebu Blue. Have you considered maybe all the root growth with minimal leaf growth could be a nutrient issue? Maybe change the fertilizer for that plant.
I find that Cebu Blue does not grow as well as its "cousins". I have two of them...but honestly, next time I declutter or swap, I think both will end up relocated to a home not of my own.
Will you film repotting the donkeys tail? I need to figure out how to do that for mine!! ❤
100% Though there may be a lot of bleeped out curse words in that video 😂
Love your video ❤❤❤
What is the name of the first plant in your bedroom?
Ctenanthe lubbersiana
Do you have a video on how you saved your begonia?
I didn’t really “save” it, I just started it over smaller from a propagation and gave away the original plant.💚
think i could get one of those red ripple plants shipped in the northeast with 40 degree lows?
I would probably wait until your lows are above 50 to be on the safe side💚
Can you tell me what soil combination you use?
Here’s a video on the soil mixes I use and what plants I use each one for: The Perfect Soil by Plant Type | Custom Soil Mix | Houseplant Soil Mix

Not plant related, and forgive me if I asked before! Do you happen to know the paint color on your walls, near you Calathea corner? It looks lovely. I am converting a small room into a plant room, and the walls are currently green. I want to paint them a soft, neutral white so the plants can stand out, but everything I've sampled is either too stark, too yellow, or too dirty looking.
Have a look at eggshell shades. They are sort of white, not stark, not dirty looking, and a warmer shade of color. If you have something in your house that is the color you want, take it to a paint store. Chances are good they can do a custom mix to match it. Hope this helps! 😃
It’s a custom mix. If you can message me on facebook or instagram @alohaplantlife I can send you a pic of the label showing the color mix breakdown
I hear people talk about root to leaves ratio. Is there an easy formula for that? I'm not sure how to judge that?
In very general terms, the root and leaf volume should look balanced. A plant that has very lush top growth and sparse roots is likely to decline fast. Likewise, a massive root system with little growth on top is usually an indication that something has gone awry. That's why, when you root prune, it's advisable to prune a similar amount of the above-ground material to keep the ratio in check. If you cut 1/3 of the roots, cut 1/3 of the vines or stems. If you divide a plant in half, try to keep half of the roots attached to each division. Plants are resilient and want to live. Preserving some of the balance they had established will help them along the way.
Thank you so much for such a full explanation! I appreciate the time you take to respond so generously ❤@irairod5160
According to what I've read, the general rule to root pruning is don't remove more than 1/3 of the roots and you shouldn't have to prune any of the above soil foliage. If you're pruning foliage, don't remove more than 1/3 at a time and give the plant about a month before pruning any more. If you're not doing either one, don't worry about it - the plant has it under control.
Looks like you already got some good answers💚
Where do you get the plant stance?
Are you talking about the one that holds the three plants in the bedroom? If so, West Elm.
@@AlohaPlantLife yes. Thanx for answering
I’m so stunned how the “not really dead” plant reemerged! Beautiful ☺️
My goeppertia warszewicii basically died (not “died back”, it was rotting) but I have the rhizomes left and I hope to revive it … Do you have any advice on that? One is in water and two were in a perlite box but started having some mould so now I put them into H2O2 again and am not sure if I’ll also just put them in water and hope that something happens or let it dry out and then plant it or or or … 🥲
