thank you for the lovely comment! this was my first year going and I can’t wait to go to next years show, it was so beautiful. I know their other big event is in the winter, have you been/do you think it’s worth going to?

I found out about this place by following my local shop on instagram! I recommend asking around at plant shops near you or looking through facebook groups, social media, etc. I’m sure some event will pop up soon <3

thank you so much! apologies about the music, sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s too loud or quiet when I’ve been editing for a while but I greatly appreciate you pointing it out- I’m always trying to improve! As a college student I’m also too poor to usually buy anything haha

@@GothicJungle no worries…I just watched all your videos, and enjoyed them all. I look forward to watching your channel grow, and seeing more videos of your planty journey, and anything else you find interesting !🌿💀😎

@@amckenna24 the raccoon was the highlight of the visit, def deserves a raise

yo thank you! yeah I love looking around for dark/ goth plants to add to my collection so I’m happy so many people liked my post! I’ll definitely be doing a video on goth plants exclusively- I just think that video might be better to post closer to the fall season.

Yes that would be fantastic! Thank you for asking, I usually go local shops for plant swaps but hosting my own would be amazing

@@GothicJungle if your ig is on your channel I can message you there. If you're ok with that's

I am definitely interested in doing the same!

I started last October with my first. I belonged to 1 fb plant swap and Sale group and no one was doing a irl s+s and the group allowed me to post and invite everyone. We had around 15 people and I made 4 good friends and they turned me onto other fb groups and I joined. And in February/March I started advertising the event. For April. You'll have to check-

Your local parks but mine allows you to use and hold gatherings for free. Unless you want to rent a pavilion. The April gatherings we had around 30 if not more people to come. And the reason for a swap and Sale was so everyone could come and enjoy. And take a plant home.

😂😂

hey! I replied to your other comment in the thread but just in case that doesn’t notify you i’ll put it here haha. Short form of what I said there, I have a link in the description of what I used (the 750mL cowbell) and I think if you get that size you get 10% off!!

hey! oh I feel you, my thrips infestation was so bad on my monstera, I had to cut off her newest leaf at the time since they were destroying it. I do about 1.5 teaspoons of 3% H2O2 (the typical hydrogen peroxide you get at a drugstore) per cup of water. I more so use it as a preventative thing rather than a cure for thrips. I found that diluting the arber pest thing (the yellow bottle in the video) like the back of the bottle says and using that along with isolating the plant from my other ones got rid of the thrips for me- the key for that though was spraying about every other day and being patient. hope this helps!!

@GothicJungle Thanks! Im gona try that as a preventative as well. I would love to try that pest treatment, but the county I live in has very strict policies on what pest treatment hobbyists can use, so there are only a coupple treatments available. Therefore, I would like to try something preventative other than neem oil (as it leaves oil stains everywhere). Also found flat mites on a couple of my plants last week, just wat to complain about it to someone 🫠 They are responding well to the treatment though, i just know i have to keep at it for a while

@@94solveig good luck!! you’ll make it through I know it 🫡

links are up!

Hi! Great video. What is the self watering you use for the monstera? Any tips when using it?

@@gabrielorsi3599 hey! thank you! I use the 750mL Cowbell Self-Watering Plant Care Kit and I actually just partnered with them since they liked my review video I did on the product so if you end up wanting to get one yourself if you use the code “GOTHICJUNGLE” wherever they require it when you check out you get 10% off! I also have a link in the description if that’s easier. I believe they also have smaller options depending on the size of your plant

i got it at a local plant shop! i tried looking online to see if there’s a similar one i could direct you to but no dice, sorry

surprisingly got it at homegoods!

@@GothicJungle Im from england and not familiar with homegoods but i presume from the name that it is inexpensive, a good deal then. I have a little one that is like a tea or side plate table and its really just a log that has been cut at the head and base, looks great with its natural shape.

@@Humannbeing haha yes homegoods is just a cheap/convenient place to get home decor in the US- it’s so cool that someone all the way from england has watched my video!! that side table sounds beautiful, a good find on your part too :)

yeah i like how sturdy mine is, I definitely recommend if you’re looking for an upgrade- got mine at a local plant shop

if you look up “brass mister” you’ll see ones that look exactly like mine!!

if you’re interested, I put a link in the description that is the same brand as mine!

fr I gotta get back on my game

Hopefully you can still keep some for your own collection! I know there are some pet friendly plants out there that are beautiful and if your cat doesn’t knock over stuff you can always use cloches to cover any toxic plants that you want

@@GothicJungle yes I kept some, I have lots of calatheas and ferns now 😅

Thank you! Yes, I appreciate any feedback, it’s hard to make critiques when editing something for a while <3

@@GothicJungle 100% can relate

ur so right I totally should
