Omg, I hope the leak gets sorted asap! I genuinely find having plants by my bed as an incentive to open my eyes in the morning beneficial. 💚

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

We have to permanently move 😵‍💫. But yes! Waking up to plants is the best!

[@qaphqa]

@​@@ohtheplacesyoullgrowwhoa, that is a world of stress. Much love to you!

Thank you so much!

I am a fellow plant mom but I cannot comprehend how self watering pots don’t rot roots. They seem to work amazing!

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Hi!! So they TOTALLY CAN if used improperly. The trick is to not keep a constant reservoir of water. Once the reservoir empties out (in these plant pots, it’s via a wick system), I wait for the soil to dry out AND for the plant to display signs of thirst. Then I refill the reservoir again. This is why I can go for over a month usually before having to refill 👍

[@samanthap.879]

@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow makes so much Sense! I might have to try one of these!!! You amaze me keep up the great work! 🪴

[@usflin]

​@@ohtheplacesyoullgrowaha thanks for the explanation! This is why I haven't been able to get them to work for me...yet! 😁

[@marzipanmango]

​@@ohtheplacesyoullgrowIsn't it important to flush out the soil with water (top down) so mineral deposits don't build up? Do you use distilled water? Just curious; I've never tried self watering pots before 😊

[@jillynnrekowski3106]

I absolutely love your channel, and your sense of humor is perfect! I hope you continue creating new videos for a long time.

[@mariavelasquez1419]

How often do you use insecticidal soap?

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

I use it to clean leaves every two weeks-ish

[@artikunj4112]

Wonderful plant 😊 stay connected with us thanks friend

Omg hi friend!

[@Lynn-rv4ty]

do you think you would ever be able to do like a cost breakdown of all of the products you regularly use? i am a broke collage kid who has too many plants and i just wanted to know what kinds of products do you (or anyone in the comments) think are the best for someone who can’t afford a lot

[@onism8906]

she has an amazon storefront with all the products she uses for her plants :) its usually pinned in the comments but its also in her about section on youtube

[@phenixwars1]

Those planters are goals. I can't afford the ones you have but I'm going to keep an eye out for affordable ones.

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

❤ I do have a 10% discount code through July 2 if that helps (MICHELLE10). I also have a few smaller-sized ones in my storefront. They are for 4” sizes.

[@phenixwars1]

@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow I'll check out your storefront, thank you for replying!

hi! what’s the name of the second plant you set down at your friends i have the same one but have no idea what it’s called. looks like a mini palm tree !

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Hi! It’s a Dracena Janet Craig

[@Liz-nq9rc]

Are there any plants that you have come across that do not do well with the self watering pots? Ive been wanting to make the switch but im nevous!! I dont want to kill any of my plant babies. 😫

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

I would say more succulent/caci types of plants would not appreciate having more moist soil consistently that self-watering pots provide

[@cara9439]

I always assumed self watering pots were for pon not plants in soil?

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

I’ve had self-watering pots with soil for a long time. The key is to not keep a constant reservoir. I only fill the reservoir once it’s emptied out, the soil is dry, AND the plant shows signs of needing water.

[@poptartpeep7744]

What is the homemade insecticide spray made of?

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

It’s in my pinned comment!

[@SuMayLee]

Do you ever have problems with self watering pots causing "over-watering"?

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

Never! Trick is to fill the reservoir once it’s empty AND the soil has dried out.

[@Albie_yt]

I go to bed,wake up ,check my plants and they have suddenly grown like 2 inches taller it doesn’t make sense

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

LOL I once did a Timelapse of my plants and they moved the MOST at night

[@onism8906]

WHAT WAS GROWING ON IT

[@chickensandadumplin326]

is there a specific brand of insecticidal soap you use or do you make your own? I've tried using bonide organic but it seemed to burn my plants

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

I make my own (see pinned comment). Any oil-based soap can burn leaves because it’s oil. Make sure to use away from direct light and keep plants away for few hours or use in the evening.

💀 I have my Thai constellation outside 😂😂😂 everything is outside. Social media has made us think that plants are hard!!! Imagine your grandmother listening to our crap about “hard plants”

[@ohtheplacesyoullgrow]

For me it’s not a social media thing, but a personal preference and my climate. I like to enjoy my plants where i spend my time 🥰
