I absolutely love that you showcase houseplants that are obtainable to what I believe would be the majority of us collectors out here, that don't want to (or cannot) spend a mint on. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good "rare" houseplant video, I love anything related, and I have been super thrilled to be able to purchase harder to find plants now that they don't cost an arm and a leg, but just seeing someone enjoying the same common houseplants as me is really nice.

I just want to say it really stands out to me how you have blossomed with confidence not afraid to be yourself ❤ 💪 loving what im seeing. And yes love the plants of course ❤ (not that you seemed afraid before bc you didn't). I can just see your vibrance so much now.

Omg! My mom gives her spider plant the rest of her water every morning. Who knew that this is a "Thing" LOL 😂 I love your apartment. ❤ And I love the Maiden-hair fern too.

It's the "wink" after the not-so-subtle promo for me 😂

I feel this is a new format for you and I'm loving it...great editing. After I cleaned house recently picked up Anthurium Hookerii, 3 Philodendrons (Chocolate Empress, Summer Glory and Billietiae). The prices have come way down, which is great. Love going to the nursery and finding "my people". Customers end up talking to each other, sharing their plant stories; not a single person is in a rush to leave, maybe they should add a cafe for us! But then of course we would never leave...lol!

My sister sent me one of your videos last year and I'm hooked. We love ❤️ you! Thank you for all your help and humor. 😅

Woow I never seen Monstera siltepecana that lush. You're so lucky.

I may have bought a few plants but it was my bday so justified 12 plus plants or cuttings. I love the hoya. And the pot is stunning Great haul Have fun

Hoya Cumingianas grow like weeds. I have one on a homemade circle hoop in full sun and it needs to be pruned often to keep the shape. It is generous with blooming also.

I had tons of success with maidenhairs after I started using a light, inorganic top dressing to help slow down evaporation from the soil.

I adore Aglaonema! 💚 the more basic and old school the variety, the better, such as the Aglaonema Calypso! It was impossible to find for sale at a reasonable price and Then I visited my grandmother’s sister in Puerto Rico and she had a giant one that I got a FREE clipping from! Old school plant from and old school lady giving very new school vibes ☺️🥰

I have a golden Madonna and I love it. It almost glows. It is easygoing and grows fast. It will push out new leaves without high humidity, but I have noticed that in low humidity the leaves will curl. I recently got an aglaonema white edge in a 10” pot from a big box store for less than $30! A local nursery has 10” pots of a smaller white edge for $75. I have admired the white edge for a few years, so I am glad that one of the few times I didn’t impulse buy a plant has saved me a lot of money 😂

I love how happy you seem right now

Maidenhair don’t die. I repot mine in peat moss have mine over 4 years and cut it back when I have forgotten to water it.

oh wow, that's a great find! sounds hard to pass up 😂

Here in Thailand we grow those birds nests outside and they even do dry out during the hot season (40C) and because they are so large they survive. So chances are... it'll do great in your home outside the cabinet.

I fell in love with that same hoya a few weeks back and brought it home with me!

Just went to a plant swap, my first…was fun but lots of spider plant cuttings and pothos. Did snag a baby Alocasia, but the surprise to me was a largish Citronella plant-Pelargonium gravelolens. Ooh the scent, I have it where I can smell it all the time and love it… something unexpected and different! 🌿💚
