I tracked every minute of PLANT CARE for a week | Life with 150+ Plants
...and this is what happend. I don't know if that is a lot of time to spend on plant care but for me it seems pretty reasonable. With my huge houseplant collection of Monstera, Philodendron, Hoya & Anthurium it does take a lot of work to take good care of them all. With a few tricks in my houseplant care routine it is totally possible though & it is my hobby afterall so I enjoy doing it anyway.
I hope you enjoy the format ♥
xoxo Kristina

I only have one variegated monstera and some hoya cuttings, I spend like 30 min each day. I bought the monstera for 20 dollars here in my country

I couldn't agree more with you!
I spend hours & hours sometimes & love every single minute of it! BTW, I love your editing style! You put so much work into it& it's so fun to watch your videos! I have an Etsy shop that I sell plants on in the US & spend hours tending to those plants. Usually, I spend more time on those plants than I do my personal collection. It's a job so, makes sense that I would spend a substantial amount of my time on them right? Right now, I am packing plants to ship all over the US & it will take make the majority of today to finish packing like 6 orders. Especially because I live in a cold climate so it is crucial to spend my time making sure the plants will arrive safe & NOT COLD from their travel. My time changes depending on if I sell a lot of plants that week or not. This week, I have already spent probably 14 hours on plant care for my shop & it's only Tuesday! lol! I wouldn't change it for the world! I'm so blessed to have this little gig & I thank the lord above every day that I get to make money doing something I love!

That's the spirit! I love when you guys like the editing, I spend waaay to long playing around with effects etc. So I really appreciate you noticing 💚. It seems like you really do put in a lot of work into your shop. At least while packing plants you have a lot of time to watch Netflix or KZread 😂. I used to ship plants too but I didn't like all the extra hassle so I switched to local sales only. At first I was worried I wouldn't be able to sell as many plants as before but it actually worked out quite well. I guess it's beneficial to live in a quite densely populated area ^^. Selling plants is so fun and rewarding I totally get why you love it so much, keep up the great work! 👌 Greetings from Germany 💚
Also, 04:43, WOAH!
I think if somebody love their plants and Can spent 20minutes watching your video about “spending time with plants” I think for us is not “spend” is “invest” 😛
Loved your video. I wish I spent as little time on my plants as you do & I only have about 25😃. Your life seems balanced…well done!

Well they must be getting awesome care then, thats's wonderful. Don't worry my life seems balanced with the plants, but I spend a looooot of time on editing, filming and youtoube which sometimes get's out of hand too^^.
I spent around 4 hours a week, but ocasionally it doubles with some projects which I love to do. Does learning about plants count? 🤔 I like style of your videos, clear and to the point.

I would count learning in as well. I haven't really thought about it that ways but learning about your plants is necessary to ensure good care 🤔🙂
HAHA! This is fun! I don't keep track of my time but it definitely feels a lot. But not to forget whenever I'm home, I will pause to observe my leaves almost every time my plants are in sight. So indoors, that's a ton of time! For outdoors, I stop to observe my outdoor plants when I want to clear the garbage. And then walking back, I'll stop and observe again. When I go to work, same thing happens XD Now I'm conscious of my time spent on the plants hahahaha

Hi Kristina :) I just love your channel as much as the first time I watched it! Your apartment is so beautiful as your plants are too! I only have one scheduled dsy to water my anthuriums on Monday, as I was watching your video I realized I forgot yesterday! Everything else I do with my plants is all free style! Yes large collections are so much work! But there are so many species that feel like no work at all!! I remember the days when I did not have pests as well.....that is what tires me most and seems like the most work...my queen is working on a new leaf! Hopefully mine will succeed, it will be the first leaf in my care! I got 3 big hanging baskets in the tub from last night....so I have to hang them back up and water my anthuriums and other moss only plants! Long ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡hugs and great job on all the hard work you do! Your plants always shine and radiate....I spend at least a couple of hours everyday.....I have not had those crazy repot days that can last all day!!? Ha ha spring I save that for!

Hi Justina, I have to say it makes my day every time I read one of your comments, you seem like such a kind hearted & warm person! I'm glad you still enjoy the videos and that you have a good time here on my channel 💚.Plant care is so much fun, I definetly also do it like you. More free style or whenever the plants need my attention. I hope your Queen leaf came out well 🤞 It seems you spend a lot of time on you plants as well but at least it's time well spent and your plants are getting great care as well! Sending love 💚
5 hours 10 minutes well spent I think. It's early summer where I live so I'm spending as much time as possible doing plant and pet stuff.

I am so bad with watering and caring for my plants atm, I think I roughly spend about 1 hour a week maybe? In the summer it would take up all my spair time, I could spend 10 hours a week. I think 5 hours are pretty solid, not too long, but you are not rushing

That's so interesting, I think there are always times where motivation on plant care is low, or where you just don't find the time. You're right, it really differs depending on the season too. Especially when pests get involved 🙄. I hope you can still manage to get all your planties to survive 💚. Sending greetings from Germany 👋

Puh also eine Trick gibt es nicht. Ich wässere eben vorsichtig bzw. Kann mittlerweile recht gut einschätzen wie viel Wasser die Erde/Pflanze so aufnehmen kann. Ansonsten checke ich hinterher die Übertöpfe ob da Wasser drin steht. Das klappt eigentlich ganz gut 😅
