People showing their struggling plants and them trying to rehab them back is what has made it feel approachable to have house plants. For ever I thought I couldn’t because I just was bad at it but really I’m just learning and need to keep going and learning and reading again.❤️❤️ I have adored finding your channel and watching your videos.

I appreciate plant videos that show reality. I don’t watch videos with perfect plants.👍

For the internet box thing with cables, what I did was got a wooden crate from Michael’s and stuffed all the cords and boxes into the box and stood the box up vertically with the “open” side pushed up against the wall as much as it could be. This way there is still airflow and if I need to access anything, I can just gently push the crate away from the wall to access the wifi. Hope this helps! (:

" That's why plants are great! they aren't actually animals they're plants so if you mess up, it's ok!" That's one of the kindest things I've heard.❤ Think about it. Another amazing video! Thanks again Katelyn!! -Bionca

I have fallen down a rabbit hole of watching your videos the past few days and this one especially resonated with me! The excitedness over any new growth, the real talk about how hard it can be to keep up with ideal plant care (especially when it's a plant you're not super excited about), and the weight that gets lifted when you have the energy to do it, the enjoyment that comes with putting together furniture 😂 I felt very seen. Love your videos, can't wait to watch more!

I personally love it when people show their 'struggle plants' or plants that may have issues. It's especially helpful for those of us relatively new to caring for plants, since you also go over reasoning what might be problem. Thank you for that!💚 (p.s.: Hi Phineas!)

My plants are "struggle" plants. They don't like the darkness in my apartment, so they go into struggle mode until I put them outside. I have a covered patio. It faces Northwest, so lots of light without the scalding Arizona sun. I don't have many windows. Three inconvenient windows (well one is good, but it is near a walkway, so lots of people go by and I'm pretty reclusive. Struggle.

I’m not kidding when I say that Hoya lineraris is what dreams are made of. It’s INCREDIBLE! Your dog is so cute when he hops in the boxes ☺️

Rarest plant in MY collection is the golden pothos, lolz.

Can I just say you and your channel are just so refreshing and fun! Also, after binge watching several of your videos the last couple days, I really LOVE this hair color on you. The others were lovely too, but something about this cut and gorgeous lavender/blue just really fits you. I know I don't know you personally, I know this is not a HAIR channel and you didn't ask my opinion. I just couldn't stop myself.🥰😗

I love and ditto your enthusiasm over plants! I have a big sunporch where the majority of my brood lives, but talk about struggle plants!!! When you live in zone 6 western Pennsylvania where pretty much six out of twelve months are cold, dark & dreary, ALL of my plants struggle just to make it thru till the next Spring when I put them out on my porch to get some sun and be reincarnated! So dont be so hard on yourself for having a struggle plant here and there! Love your channeL!

Yes I totally agree "Life Happens Sometimes !" No ones plant collection is always perfect that's the Beauty of Nature a Beautiful thing is never perfect ;) ... You did great things look really nice I'm doing the same at home atm too getting things organized in my plant areas it feels so great to get done ! Sending positive planty vibes your way till next time 😁🌱🌿💚

This genuinely felt like being at a friends house and them showing their own plant collection.

I totally support being truthful about how many hours are in a day! I mean most of us have families, jobs, pets, etc. In a perfect world we'd have endless hours for plant maintenance. But, we can only do our best and you are!!

I honestly believe in hiding all my cables. So I run them through my wall. It’s a super easy DIY and such a clean look. It’s takes 10 - 15 minutes. Lots of videos on KZread. Also I would recommend attaching your box to your wall for a clearer look. Your NetGear router could be upgraded also. I know this model and you would benefit but that’s a suggestion.

Looks beautiful!! What an impressive plant collection🙌💚🪴.. and your doggie is the cutest!! 😀

I was just telling my mom the other day that I really liked your videos because you show your sad plants and not just “pose” and show all you’re pretty plants. And also that you love to share your regular plants just as much as the rare ones!!

I'm quite an orchid lover, especially of Oncidium types so it'll be exciting to see what the flowers look like when they bloom, mystery plants can be pretty exciting. Phals and Paphs have similar light requirements so having them on the floor together should be good, that shelf area seemed like it could be a little dark for Phals. I planted some succulent cuttings into a pot I really like, but I'm still not really happy with how they look. I have a habit of making and re-making succulent arrangements, luckily I've gotten better with caring for them over time. Love the shirt, HunterxHunter is a great anime.

Hello, happy to be on board, love your 'chattiness'. We think alike.

I'm obsessed with that ficus triangularis. Wish I had more room for plants! Hi from Oakland!!

Your channel was recommended. I'm so glad I watched.

Love these shelves and all the beautiful plants. Killua and Gon are my fav tho!! Can’t wait to surf your shop.

Have you ever thought about tinting your windows. Listen I know this sounds a little crazy 😂 but this is a super easy DIY. The difference is amazing and honestly I love the extra bit of privacy. Just fyi I also have one window that I cut about a 3” strip out from the top to allow more direct sunlight on certain plants. Also I save on my electric bill 🙌 truly hope I see this project in the future. Great video!

Now, for a plant comment...🤣. I am so glad you show your struggle plants. I have had um...MORE than my share and I really just started growing and collecting in the last 2 years (I'm not counting my gardening when I was a kid). Presently, my WORST? Well, there's more than one.😅. My newly purchased String of Hearts is constantly getting attacked by mealy bug, The tiny String of Turtles (purchased at the same time)planted in the same hanging basket is pretty much DONE though no mealy bug is on it. Apparently it doesn't like something ELSE I'm doing. What's also weird is mealy bug usually only attacks when plants get dried out and this basket is hanging in my central Florida heat/humidity under my porch area where it gets indirect light and I water THOROUGHLY after the top few inches of soil dries. It makes me really sad because I put this pot together in honor of my son. When he was little (he's 15 TODAY) he LOVED turtles, he still does. So I wanted to have a hanging basket with a pattern of Turtles/Hearts eventually.

To hide the internet router/cable box - get the velcro style wall hooks and attach to the bottom of one of your upper shelves. It'll be off the floor and the height should help your signal strength as well.

Your “internet plant”/wireless router just needs a longer ethernet cable. The cable needs to be long enough to still connect to your modem (device attached to your wall). This should allow you to relocate your router to a better spot in your house.

This is a very inspiring video! I loved learning and seeing plant projects I action! I've been combining plants in pots lately too. I try to combine complementary root systems because plants have friends inn nature. For example I added a vine with really ropey roots to my avocado because he was tippy and unstable. It's another plan adventure!

I love your plant collection. I admire how you manage to fit all those plants in an apartment :) I also like the way you explain things about your plants. Looking forward to many more videos. Hugs from Romania 🤗

That ficus triangularis is so cool--talk about a statement! And I love your big obovata--it inspired me to buy one from a local BST group. I completely agree that "easy to access" is an important part of plant care. I have noticed that I neglect my hard-to-get-to plants, and that I have more and more of those as my collection grows. I need to find a solution for watering and inspecting everything consistently. Your Syngoniums look much better hanging out together 👍

love ur hoyas

Orchids: 1. Phals need more light than Paphs do. Neither wants direct sun, but the phal will appreciate light just a little brighter than the paph. 2. Just a heads up so you don't panic, the older fan of the paph will die off as it is consumed by the plant to boost the growth of the new fan. Don't freak out when it starts to happen. The old fan will start to yellow and consume leaves from the bottom up, as the nutrients are absorbed into the new fan. 3. Minimal fertilizers on the paph. Their roots are very sensitive to salts building up in their media.

I love that you show your struggle plants! It’s more relatable and educational to me. I don’t doubt that you know what you’re “supposed” to do. Regarding your desire to group plants and in a previous video, you shared that you dislike the thought of moss poles for various reasons, I want to do the same. Could you suggest a companion plant for pothos so the pothos can climb that instead of climbing a moss pole? I saw a pothos potted with a dracaena mass cane in a store once but I don’t like the look of dracaenas and I don’t know what other tall plants have the same water and light needs/tolerance as pothos. I love the idea of grouping plants that may have a symbiotic relationship/dual purpose.

I think the plants with crumply and deformed young leaves 🍃 could suffer from a boron deficiency. Usually this deficiency is related to some sort of calcium problems showing up as well. Both nutrients are mostly immobile in the plant, meaning that the plant cannot redistribute these elements from older leaves to the new growth, hence the defects occuring on young leaves. Instead B and Ca travel with the water from the roots to the new growth. So, as water molecules mostly enter the root when other water molecules leave the plant through the leaves transpiration during photosynthesis, higher humidity is even counterproductive. Air movement helps the plant to transpire, moving the water vapor away from the leaves. My plants had similar problems until I installed some fans. The airflow does not need to be at a super breezy level, just a constant movement is enough. Oh, and of course, a plant can‘t uptake what is not present in the substrate. Are you using a Cal/Mag supplemental and a fertilizer with B? Foliage application can be taken into consideration to quickly correct acute shortage.

My Hoya Retusa is confusing me too because I know not to remove the flowers but when I picked it up to bring it to the sink, (I take most of my plants to the sink to water them) it dropped the dead flowers off. One came back and flowered again and now that one is gone too. Does that mean that it lost the peduncles? It was just so weird - I picked up the pot and the dried up flowers just dropped to the floor! Anyway, I thought I’d ask. I’ll check out your Amazon store!!!
