I actually sold 12 apple trees, 2 avocado trees, and 1 Mango Tree this year c: Hope to get a few cuttings of my dad's fig when he prunes it in spring and if I'm lucky maybe a plumeria cutting too. I want to try to figure out how to grow Luffa Aegyptiaca in my current apartment set-up 🤔

Yes thats what i have at home Most plants i have is in my GH lol

I didn't realize you could do that with one 😮 Gonna have to give it a go! It's been a journey for this poor plant. Almost froze to death. Of course my mind didn't process the whole, "every plant is an outdoor plant." I've already sold so many cuttings of Coleus that I have been considering getting some seeds and filling some pots for Spring/Summer. 😅

Lol 😂 Definitely not! Said goodbye to 2 family pets this year. They were it for us for a long while

I really should look into that 😅 So many choices

Nah, It's mainly just a hobby for me. I've always loved nature and plants... Being able to have an indoor garden is more of a meditative/relaxing thing for me. I do sell some stuff locally, but it's not like a main income stream. I've made more from my Poshmark account selling purses... 😅

Hey Venda, Good to see ya again! I hope all is well with you c: Funny, these two topics actually fit into videos I have planned for Dec/Jan. I can answer them here for now though--- The hardest plant to keep, for me, would be lavender actually. I do not have a yard and so I can only grow them in pots. It was always a battle with it.... Either, it was suffering form root rot (purchased from store that way) or it was infested with spider mites (outdoors). I actually ended up trashing both of my original and first lavender plants. For context they were both lavandula x intermedia - in theory, they were easy to care for. For specifically indoor plants - I feel like a peace lily ( Spathiphyllum wallisii) can be extremely difficult for people for a variety of reasons. I purchased mine during lent of this year and am just now seeing new, healthy growth. I struggled for a while with it... Root rot, Phytophthora, and then I burned it with the wrong fertilizer.... The rarest plant in my area that is actually in my collection is my newest plant. Monty, my Monstera D. "Thai Constellation" that I purchased from a big box for $30 USD. It was grown by Costa Farms. I think the rarest plant for sale in my area currently are cuttings of "Philodendron Pink Mint Micans" which I think are just uncommon Philodendron Hederaceum Var... 1 node cuttings look like they are going for $90+ For my collection, my biggest "goal" is to just get things that will fit in well with the home, family, and lifestyle we live. While there are plants that I would love to add to the collection (like P. Whipple Way, or a hoya that smells like chocolate) I follow a cash budget for all purchases so it'll be a while yet before I can add anything like that to the collection.

​​​@@LavenderAndLattes goshhh i didnt expect you type that much , im really sory lol 😂 .. I mean itll be nice if you make video about it tho , i used to export plant and fish in 2010-2020 in large scale .. that is why i ask you that kinda question this is the question i used to ask people (marketing wise) but now i focusing in local maret with low quality and large numbers of fish and plants .. well im Lucky to be answered 😅 thank you Here Mican and haderacum var is like 1-5$ 5-8 leafs (Bulk price would be much lower)

I feel like I need to clarify that the paper towels and cotton balls are there to keep the roots wet until water can be added back into the jar

Absolutely! 🌱 Using botanical names definitely helps reduce confusion-I do the same when making purchases. There are already so many subtle differences, like between Monstera deliciosa and Monstera borsigiana, so relying on proper names is key. 😊 My goal here was to help prevent anyone new to plants from being misled or even scammed. Just this week, I’ve seen three posts in a single plant group where people were sold a "Monstera Albo," but the photos showed a Monstera standleyana albo. 😥 While technically not incorrect, it’s definitely not a Monstera deliciosa or borsigiana albo.

​@@LavenderAndLattes yep also by spesiest theres 3 form (king, brazilian and borsigiana)

Philodendrons are a more recent passion of mine. When you say it grows weirdly, what do you mean?

@LavenderAndLattes very small and compact

Young WWP tend to have small and compact growth- as they mature it will become less compact and the leaves will grow larger. Is your's a younger plant? I've also noticed that my Philos all grew very slowly until they filled out their pots with roots.

@@LavenderAndLattes It is younfer, i didnt know that

I only found out after lots of research in my free time. I will post a current video of a cutting I took on Oct 24. It actually featured in one of my Oct 25th shorts "Bonus cutting" I lost the original leaf not long after I took the cutting. About a week ago it finally pushed out it's first root and a new leaf. It's about as small as my pinky nail. I'll also show the parent plant it was taken from since new growth is finally coming in.
