Mattress has been pretty great but had an issue with and I got the most unfortunate customer service.

I save and use aquarium water for my plants. It's already treated, and the fish waste is an excellent fertilizer.

[@pudik2008]

Yes I’m a chronic overwaterer,I use a premium shop bought potting mix and add in the amendments you use to make it more chunky. I also use water from boiled eggs rice if I wash it,leftover coffee/ tea watered down. When my adult son moved in back,he was boiling potatoes and I asked him not to our the water down the sink but to use it for a plant. Next day I walked out onto the patio and looked at my jasmine that was growing beautiful up a pole, it was totally melted, I asked him,did you cool the potato water before using on the plant, he ‘ NO’ , apparently I forgot to tell him to let it cool down first Ahhhhhhh! 😫 it was totally cooked! ☠️☠️ I never salt my water for cooking veg and stuff! Great video Harli…. 💚🪴 Natalie

your hair looks SO cute! the outfit, everything is a cute vibe! thanks for the great tips! i live in San Diego + we have hard, gross water here. i was killing my plants when i first started caring for them a few years ago w the hard water + over watering. i was using distilled water, but that got too expensive/ time consuming to haul from store to home as my collection grew. the drinking water filter we have dispenses very cold water so that wasn't an option for my plants either. i started filling empty gallon jugs w tap water, using water conditioner + WOW my plants are doing AMAZINGLY well. i can also add in diluted fertilizer at the same time, it's been a game changer for me :)

For some reason, KZbin has chosen Harli to be the only youtuber who’s vids I actually get alerts for right away. Everyone else? Few hours to _days_ later. Having said that, I’m not complaining🙃🌱🌿❤

[@kristyrolczynski]

Just an FYI, boiled water does not remove chloramine or fluoride. It actually increases the amount because of the water vapor that escapes. I'm not saying don't use scrap water but just be aware if these are the chemicals your city uses so you can adjust anything if you need to.

[@HarliG]

Great info! Could always use filtered water for cooking to help 😊

[@hollyc8356]

I always use filtered water to cook with actually not sure if the filter removes chlorine or fluoride tho…

[@munkee123]

Could you use water that comes from your refrigerator? That would be filtered yeah?

[@K.Mar.]

Thats true Kristy

[@kristyrolczynski]

My statement only refers to chloramine, not chlorine. A lot of cities have switched to chloramine and no longer use chlorine. You'd have to look at the actual filter to know what it's rated to remove. I think most filters would remove these though.

[@alantower9659]

Well explained. Bigger pots help. The repot tip is the nursery's favorite. I appreciated the tip on cooking water. I collect rainwater, but never considered using cooled off cooking water. Also, you are looking great. Seems all the care you are giving plants is giving you a glow as well. Keep it up.

[@hannahdoubleyou9961]

When i had fish in my fish tanks (now I've recently converted one in to a terrarium) I'd use my fish tank water on my houseplants. They seemed to do very well with the fish poop nutrients.

[@nichelle6058]

FYI: Perlite naturally contains fluoride so the plants she mentioned that are sensitive to fluoride generally do better with a soil mix that doesn’t contain perlite. Peace lilies and Dracaenas especially I’ve noticed. Regarding water, collect rain water. It is slightly acidic which really helps plants absorb nutrients better. Dehumidifier water also works well for plants. 😊

[@HarliG]

Wow’ I had no idea, thank you so much for sharing this info 🙏

[@jenc2329]

I started buying glass saucers because of you. Both clay and ceramic do absorb water and eventually damage surfaces. Very nice tips Harli. Thank you!

[@annacallisto7491]

I love to watch your videos Harli🌞 thank you for all these tips! Changing to using rain water instead of tap water was such a game changer! I quickly noticed more beautiful growth ☺️ Also you look beautiful 🦋

[@_pipsissewa]

Switching away from tap water seems like so much work but this makes it seem like it's worth it!! You've inspired me to give it a try. Now off to feed my alocasia that's only given me 1 new leaf this year 😅

[@mrscotchguy]

The tap water thing is wild. Too bad this summer was so dry so I didn't have any rainwater.

[@robin9339]

I use my fish tank water to water my plants :> so far all my plant love it. I always collect a bucket of it during each water change.

[@Sconnie13]

I bought a ten dollar water meter for my plants and it has helped me (tremendously) to stop overwatering my plants. Great tip about not using tap water - I have a rain barrel that I use to water my indoor plants, and I also use boiled water from food. 💚

Yup, had my Alocasia Sclaprum in very intense light and was thinking yea every plant loves high light, right?? WRONG! She starting throwing the biggest fit, yellowing of leaves and intense drooping (Not because of too little or too much water, actually because the leaves wanted to escape the light) and now its in a super shady almost low light spot and it loves it.

[@ms.m6060]

Use the right size pot for your plant

[@0oo0megan0oo0]

Have you ever thought about using the "stump" water by Lee's market place in PV?

[@HarliG]

Yes! I absolutely have considered that. I live in plain city, so very nearby. I just would have to fill so many jugs to get all my plants watered 😂 do you know if they shut it off in winter or is it something available during the winter too? So far my plants are loving the nasty pine view water … probably bc it’s extra poopy 😂

[@0oo0megan0oo0]

@HarliG In the summer, I would use about 6 5-gal jugs a week to water my plants and to drink. I believe they shut off the main stump location in the winter, but a second location is opened up like 30 feet away. I am not sure why.

[@hollyc8356]

I’ve been treating my water with acid lowering treatment because I was told it helps with upsizing…haven’t noticed any difference in fact I think some of my plants hate the lower acid…

[@wendym713]

What about well water? Is it safe?

[@rosewagner4018]

Hmm? What do you do in the winter when the snow melts but then freezes to ice. Cold temps where I live. I’d like to try this and I don’t want to fail. Help

[@HarliG]

I do it in my garage or basement so it won’t freeze & I can grab it within a couple days

[@rebeccaparis6470]

When you water with a deeper saucer, you let the water stay in the saucer/cache pot for the plant to drink? I thought I was supposed to dump any excess water???

[@aliesefitch1099]

That's what I do! I'll leave the water for anywhere from 1-10 hours 😂 and then if there's any excess I'll dump it out. That's my favorite way to deep water my plants

[@rebeccaparis6470]

@@aliesefitch1099 thanks! I'll give it a try!

[@HarliG]

It kind of depends on your soil mix, but I personally just leave it & since I do use such an airy, chunky mix I haven’t had any problems.

[@rebeccaparis6470]

@@HarliG I use a chunky mix! Thanks!

[@maryzefo3801]

I've been told that if you let water sit for at least 24 hours and no lid that it helps some of the chlorine to evaporate I just wondered what you thought about it 😊

[@thealevinson9628]

Awesome, insightful tips thank you for sharing! I've been curious - are you still using liquidirt every time you water? In your videos it seems like you are less religious about using it than you initially were, just wondering if there's a reason for that. Also, I love your shirt and pants combo in this video 😍

[@bethadamik8014]

Love this video. Another thing I do for chlorinated water is let it sit out in the sun for hours before use. The chlorine evaporates and the water gets warmed up done before use. Then I add my fertilizer and water. It really makes a difference for me.

[@candicepetty1179]

I used to be able to do that. Now my water company uses Chloramine and it doesn’t evaporate 😢 I bought some water conditioner that you use for fish tanks and I think it’s working pretty well.

[@DoraTheExplora50]

Take good care Harli and may Jehovah God bless you and your family ❤

[@Tina-wi7we]

Great video! Ty so much. 🙏✨ I've begun giving my plants filtered water and I think a conditioner would be great to try. I just tore the heck out of my string of hearts, getting her out of the hanger. I don't know what to do about that? But she needs a new pot. I'm using a terracotta pot, because I too am an over waterer.... I bought a moisture meter too and I think that will help. Her strings are so long and she looks great in a hanger but maybe she should just be on a shelf somehow 😢

[@Planty-Mandy]

I did the same thing to my string of hearts getting it out of the macrame hanger. Just stick the strands you broke in a vase with water and once they have roots you can plant them back in the pot!
