    I think that's the companies that let you dinose three plants are smarter... Why would you let somebody diagnose 14 plants? That would be most all the different plants that they have, probably ... Common sense tells you. They shouldn't let you diagnose all your plants. Then you don't have to buy.

    Quick question. How many is too many for angels trumpet? People say the toxins can get absorbed through the air. I just bought a collection of 12 varieties. Variegated, serrated edges and different colors.

  • @freyastropicalgarden
    @freyastropicalgarden2 ай бұрын

    That is a good question but not one I have an answer to. I believe everyone will probably react differently, so the best way to be cautious is to be aware of symptoms such as headache and burning eyes, and seek medical help straight away if you are ever worried.

    It’s lovely to see you back, we’ve missed you! Your videos are always so lovely and a joy to watch. 😃 So sorry to hear you have to move and no doubt dreading the upheaval. I know how devastating and daunting it can feel to have to face moving from somewhere you love as it happened to me and I was heartbroken… but you know what, it’s funny how things work out for the better and although I hated it at first, now I absolutely love my new home and garden more! 🥳 So take heart lovely lady you’ll make your new garden amazing in no time 🌈 🌴🌻and it’ll be a great subject for before and after progress journey video content. 💕 Keep your chin up and you’ll get there… with a truck load of plants 😁😂😎

    they're an indication of bad potting mix media, made up of bark, which always goes sour on the bottom of pot, when the top is already bone dry. i went to coir and peat based mixes and havent had fungus gnat problems in house plants since. it's cute how they like to sell us a problematic potting mix and blame us for problems from it.

    Not once you have established which piece is which. I recommend measuring each piece and comparing with the measurement in the instructions, then writing in pencil A1, A2 etc on the wood. Hopefully this video will help aid the instructions too. I am very happy with the Gazebo though.
