I'M BACK FROM VACATION! Did my plants survive? 🫣

I'm back from my 3 week holiday in the UK with a sniffly nose 🤧 and I saved the opening of my grow tent for this video! Here I recap how I prepped my plants for me being away for 3 weeks, and we check how they fared during 3 hot and dry weeks in July (believe me I was frantically checking Vancouver weather while I was away). And at the end of the video I show you some bits and bobs I brought back from the UK. Hope you enjoy this one! ❤️

    Listening to you talking about the UK so fondly is just so comforting to me. I'm over in Alberta, and it's very insular here, I find. People barely know the UK exists, let alone enjoy Marmite!!! I got excited hearing a Canadian talk about Diddly Squat and "Sainsburys....Taste the Difference " 😂 it warmed my poor little homesick heart. Laughed at the teapot collection, you will fit in so well when you move. I'm glad you had fun and your plants faired well.

    Hey girl! So glad you enjoyed your time overseas! You inspired me to see Wales! I just got back from 3 weeks overseas, half in Switzerland and half in Scotland, and I nearly cried having to come back to the US, so I feel you! Also, found out I had spider mites all over my gloriosum, plowmannii, splendid, verrucosum, and a ton of others in my collection! 😫 It was worth it though.

    Dude! I've found that the more light I give certain anthurium the darker they get too! My Besseae aff is one. She looks like a Carla with green veining when she gets a lot of light. It is stunning.

    Is your Alocasia watsoniana velvety? Mine is shined and rubbery. If yours is velvety is it a variant? do you know what it is called?

  • @youdontevengrowhere

    It’s velvety! I was told that true watsoniana is velvety and the veins fork at the margins with maturity, rather than a straight line all the way out. I think there are multiple variants of A. longiloba, one of which is watsoniana
