Enjoyed the video and repotting. I like the new plant stand and it looks perfect by the stairs. I think it would look cute to continue it up the wall and expand it. Thank you.

Katelyn your hair is always gorgeous , but it’s looking even more gorgeous than ever today. You look like a queen. Always nice to hang out and listen to your vast knowledge. You’re like the plant friend that I wish I had in real life. None of my friends are into plants (here’s hoping that changes). Have a lovely week 🌟

Omg your little basket of pigeons hahahaha so adorable

With the heart fern could you put it in a terrarium or put a clear cover over it?

Caffeinated is right 😂 love it 😂

I really love lechuza pon and a selfwatering pot for plants that want to stay evenly moist. I have a lot of plants in it but definitely recommend it for plants like alocatia, calathea and similar. Maybe it would be a good fit for your medinilla. Also for fenestration it´s important to have conditions where the plant is thriving and not just living. I have definitely seen monsteras that look relatively healthy but have big internodal space and like 10 hand sized leaves with no fenestration. In that case the plant definitely needs more light. Just wanted to add that.

yeah we have a pretty big monstera in our bathroom, it has more than 30 leaves, and gts new ones weekly but all pretty small and none with fenestration. i doesnt get enough light i think, but it's the only plant we have, who likes that spot, so we keep it there.

Your hair is getting so long!!! It’s so beautiful. I’m jealous. My hair never grows and purple is my absolute favorite color. 💜💜💜

Happy birthday month!! ♥️♥️ The next plant I'm going to try to have in my collection again (3rd time is the charm??) is a Stormanthe Triostar. Hope you have a happy holidays!!

Died when you were in the closet😂

Maybe your heart fern needs a dome to keep humidity in and make a bad environment for spider mites

wow! yes, definitely caffeinated! :) lil trick for peeling off stickers - use a hair dryer for a literally a minute or so and even the most stubborn will normally come off.

Oh Kaitlin.. you made me cry.. I appreciate you and your beautiful energy 💜

Try Mother Earth #4 perlite (#3 is good too) , it's incredible for chunky mixes, especially for overwaters. Your videos are always so much fun and inspire me to get up and do plant chores even on bad days, thank you ❤❤

Yesss I second this comment!!

I just found you! I really enjoyed your video. You have a lot of positive energy and genuinely seem to enjoy your plants

I found your channel as I was preparing to move from Texas to Arkansas. I watched your moving video a couple times. We moved this weekend, and only two of my 65 plants were damaged, and I think they will bounce back. Thanks so much for your detailed examples! Re: the pineapple... I love pineapple and have repeatedly tried to propagate one, but they always mold or rot.

your hair is looking amazing!

Put your fern leaf in a pot like that an the first plant you showed....😊

To make the stickers easier to pull off things just warm them up with a hair dryer!! It loosens up the adhesive and makes it SO MUCH easier and they are way less likely to rip and leave junk behind.

It looks great. You did an excellent job. Help with umbrella plant, not braided.

Love watching your videos you have great energy!!

I had a Pineapple 🍍 Mini Soul plant🌵I had to put it in water, and it rotted😢 it's okay though those kind of things happen. As of now all of my plants 🌱 except maybe 7 are propping in 💦. They all had really bad root rot. Some are still dying. I'm trying to save as many as I can. I have like 35-40 plants. Most of them are small props from big plants that got root rot. I don't know if they'll make it, but we'll see.😷🌼🌿😉

I cannot believe I missed this, when it originally came out. Love your videos. I am always left with a smile.

I am propagating philodendron micans to give for Christmas. And my philodendrons and aglaonemas are growing so fast right now. I am glad you showed this bag of perlite because I have been considering getting it. Now I know it is good. Thanks. And happy birthday

Ive heard support helps them fenestrate, i have the same size Thai con and im going to stick it on a cedar board. Also i was told Thaicon is large form so it should size up and have thicker leaves, but idk the truth. I know moss poles are the best but i just dont know if i can commit to watering a pole 😅

Cute shelf! I got the stacking one lol same gloves and mallet;) next time you need soil amendments goto local hydroponics store or one on web I got 1.5 cubic yards of leca for 27$ US, they had the huge!!! Bags of super chunky perlite for $20 US bag is 3 cubic yards not sure what I’d ever do with that much lol. I’m pretty sure small online plant shops that sell aroid mix buy in bulk and make a killing on selling it in 1 or 2 lb bags, pretty smart good way to do it :) Have a very happy Holiday season!!🎄

I love that even the cache pots are purple❤

I do like face planters with fun peperomia and Rhipsalis on top, but I also really like your stoic pot. It’s in my cart! ☺️yes, we are most fortunate to be able to focus our concern on indoor plants. Both my daughters are Sagittarius too, so this is quite the expensive time of year. Lol! Have a terrific birthday!

If you will use a blow dryer on those sticky labels, then the heat will cause the glue to release. It should come off much easier.

Love that I’m seeing more of you again!! One of my fav plant tubers☺️

Happy Birthday!! The new plant stand looks great and fills the space perfectly! Your plants are beautiful too!! Thanks for sharing and Happy Holidays! 💜💚🪴🌵

I could listen to you talk about plants for hours. I love how you can relate random stuff back to plants science (example: construction fencing related to fenestrations). Keep it up thank you! Also LOL once I accidentally ordered 4 ft^3 of perlite without realizing how much it was 😂

That medinilla sounds like it may be a great candidate for a self watering planter! (one with a wick) They’re so good for plants that need constant moisture. Also, I found a huge bag of perlite at a Home Depot for like $11. It was at least 2 cubic feet but I think it was closer to 3 or 4. That was last summer and I haven’t seen them again this year but maybe keep an eye out if you ever use up your giant bag lol

Im getting these weird ads when watching this, the ad is telling me how I can “have the best poop of my life” o.o xD

The new plant stand looks great. Happy Birthday 🎂🎉😀🇨🇦

Happy Birthday and I love your plants 😄

I'm trying growing cacti and Succulents from seed and 6 have sprouted

I would argue leaf maturity requires ample light and fertilizer to fuel that growth. A plant can't mature on time alone. It needs the resources to support the size-up. My albo monstera grew taller than the pendent grow light above it and the newest leaf that formed above the grow light came in with less fenestrations and slightly smaller.

Ah yes you’re totally right, sorry if I was unclear in the video- I meant besides all of the conditions a climbing aroid requires for typical growth, there’s no secret hack like a chemical that can induce fenestration Thanks for watching have a great week!😊💜🌿

Super cute little plant pot in ur pic too 😍

Hiiii!! I love your videos, I’ve been watching for quite a while now! 2 quick things that I thought of while watching this video- 1) if you’re potting with coco coir I think it’s an important side note that it doesn’t naturally hold any nutrients so if people are going to try to use it, they need to know that you have to add nutrients in one way or another. 😊 2) Question- do you normally check the roots of each plant that you have delivered? I was just thinking that maybe some of your plants that aren’t growing or are slowly dying may have root problems that could be fixed! Anyway, just wanted to add my thoughts and I hope they help! I hope you, your husband and Finn have a wonderful holiday season!!

I love your videos. I always feel like the spaces under tables and the lower shelfs of plant stands get wasted as they do not get light from my windows. Because my windows are like yours, they start at a certain height from the wall. I wanted to know if you have a grow light attached under that table? If yes, how long do you keep it on?

I want a narnia closet.

I thought you’d need to train crawling plants upwards to get bigger leaves with more fenestrations, they crawl up trees in nature and get more mature as they go up, moss poles are the best way to, the higher up, the more fenestrations allowing light through to the lower leaves. That’s my understanding anyway

@reallybigplant

6 ай бұрын

Yes you’re completely right, thanks for pointing this out! 💜✨ I was more talking about the development of the initial few holes when the plant is very juvenile. The point I had been trying to make was that I don’t know of any secret hack like a chemical that induces fenestration, the only way is to give it the conditions it needs to mature normally, like light, water, support, nutrients, humidity, time etc. Sorry for the confusion, your understanding is correct! Thanks for watching I hope you have a great week! 😊💞🌿✨

Oh good I'm glad I'm not the only one that suffers chronically from decision paralysis! 😅

FENESTRATION: it happens not because the plant grows old, but because of the plant's growth process itself. the new leaves are larger and produce holes on them to allow light to the leaves below them, also because of the wind that blows, fenestrations are created so as not to tear those big, bulky leaves. it is the process of the plant itself. therefore, when it is understood why fenestrations occur on the leaves in a normal environment, it can be used to make the process happen on house plants. FOR EXAMPLE. if the plant is placed in a place that has wind or some form of air circulation, the rapid process of producing leaves with fenestration can be encouraged. At least that's how I succeeded with my monstera, but as soon as I moved it from a place with wind, it started producing leaves without holes. NOTE. THE PROCESS WILL NOT IMMEDIATELY PRODUCE LEAVES WITH FULL FENESTRATION BUT WILL SPEED UP THE PROCESS

Please help how do you care for an umbrella plant. Some times it does good and sometimes not so good. I know not to put in to large pot, not to over water, not to let dry out, help PLEASE!!!

I bought same thing not again

What is the philodendron that you put in the face pot?

I think the reason that the albo feels different to the thai could be because the albo is always a monstera delisiosa small form, where as the thai is always large form

@reallybigplant

Wow you’re right I’ve never seen any photos of a large form albo! You’ve inspired me to do some reading! I kind of stopped paying attention to information I came across about variegated monsteras these past few years because it felt like a lot of people were making things up and I got very suspicious of even the difference between large and small form lol but there does seem to be a real difference. You’re right I bet the leaf texture is also part of it🌿Thanks so much for pointing this out!! 😍💜 have a great week!😊💗✨

Would you recommend against adding compost (specifically vermicompost) to house plants

recently got a cheap adansonii and chopped it to a million wet sticks and been kinda thinking about fenestrations... for a plant, it might be advantageous to look like you've already been eaten for anti-predation. imagine you are a pregnant moth and you want your caterpillars to grow big and strong. you probably would not choose a plant whose leaves are already full of holes, like it is already infested with something (i have no idea about the visual acuity or decision making powers of moths lol just thinkin). i dunno maybe it's dumb

@reallybigplant

7 ай бұрын

It’s not dumb at all! An interesting take! With evolutionary advantage, if it helps preserve a plant even once then it counts as an advantage in my book! There are totally plants that employ this strategy of looking already colonized by insects to prevent others from taking up residence. Love your thinking thanks for sharing 😊💜🌿✨ Congrats on your big adansonii propagation too! Have a great week!💗✨
