Why is she overdressed for a plant video, though?

[@neoramsey7608]

@@EarthsGeomancer how on earth is she overdressed? She has on a loose button up blouse and even a zipped up hoodie in the watering clip. To anyone else this would be considered typical women's casual wear. You sound very judgemental

I soak my air plants in my cold freshwater fish tank ~once a week for 10-20mins prior to changing the tank water. Then, after a water change, I use the fish water as a light fertiliser to water my other 50+ indoor plants. happy fish, happy plants.

[@LizzieDeanMakes]

Lee the Dragon you have to ask? We were saying we would like to have seen Laura’s plant - google wouldn’t have helped with that - and your comment has not added anything to this world or this conversation - apart from to inflate your own ego thinking you have somehow spotted a huge flaw in both of our intellects.

[@danielkoher1944]

[@deniselambrecht2067]

Thanks so much for this video. I had no idea how to water these. Btw my daughter now thinks I may have a plant problem. She said, "You've brought so many plants that your making up types!"

[@NatureMan1]

I have made the mistake of killing several of my air plants because I watered them at the crown and within a week they rotted and all the leaves fell off. I have now learned to water them upside down, then let them thoroughly drt upside down on the counter before setting them back up on display. I also mist my larger air plants that are too big to sit upside down for watering once or twice per week. So far I am having success after failing with them!

[@Jack-oc2xq]

NatureMan 1 you don’t need to water them upside down, just let them dry upside down

[@NatureMan1]

@@Jack-oc2xq Your right my mistake. I should water them at the crown, but let them dry upside down so it doesn't rot.

Its a learning process. I love some of the channels here. Miss orchid girl has great things on her channel. These plants are amazing

[@leavealekalone]

Very insightful video, thank you! I've just purchased two, for my boyfriend and me, so I'm pretty excited. Also, your hair is so beautiful - had to comment on that!

I honestly thought air plants were fake plants until I gotten into plants and came upon them in a video and had no clue they were real...obviously after that I had to purchase a few lol

[@wishingonthemoon1]

I had an air plant sold to me as a bromeliad. I bought it because I thought it was so beautiful, but it’s label and how it looks and behaves didn’t match. So glad I figured out what It was! Still need to re-pot it.

[@melissagarcia1024]

GIRL! You probably just saved my airplants I've neglected for awhile. I moved from Louisiana to Colorado and didn't realize how the climate change would affect my plants. This video helped SO much!! My airplants are currently soaking (I was misting them before). I really hope this does the trick in keeping them alive. THANK YOU!

I really appreciate all your knowledge and can not thank you enough for sharing it with us. I have killed my share of Air Plants sorry to say, I kept one for a year, tenderly caring for it only to be told it had been dead for a long time. So needless to say your video was needed. You are such a talented speaker, with a pleasant voice, I do not tire hearing it. I am 75 and have tried to be a caring gardener, with a library of books. You have taught me more in the last year than I ever learned from a book. Please keep up the good work we are out here watching & learning. Thank You!!!

[@fredymendez1786]

Excellent video! I did not know about this plants! One day i saw one this plants on the yard next to the street and I said myself poor little plant needs some water and nobody take care of you! I took it to my home and i put it in a bawl with water but after 1 1/2 week it was rotting the leaves in the water. so i decided to download the plants identifier to find the name and how to taka care of it! Thanks God I found your video . Immediately I run to my back yard and i removed it from the water, hope get better soon. Thanks again!

I live in FL with a lot of oak trees. There’s hundreds on the trees in my area, including some huge ones.

Great teacher.

[@theresakurth6916]

Oh my gosh I owned one until very recently! I got it as a "gift", I was told to take it because the previous owner didn't want it anymore. I was so confused by it, it was in a little bit of sand in a circle glass container, and had no roots. I watered it like I would any succulent. It survived for about a year. It suddenly died because white fuzz covered the base of it over night. Sad to see it go. I wish I had known! What an amazing plant, Earth is a crazy place!

[@ellengreer3293]

Theresa Kurth the white mold you saw is actually the plant containing moisture, it’s totally normal.

[@DeniseBobese]

If plants actually start growing mold it's usually because of improper drainage or just plain old over watering lol

Omg this is the second day in a row that I’ve found a hidden office reference in an old video !!!! “There are basically 2 schools of thought.” I wonder if sometimes they slip without your realizing it Laura! Dwight is my dude 😍😍😍

Thats not an office reference. That is a common phrase used in the office. Someone correct me if im wrong

[@mirandabeaudry7936]

Seth Jones lol watch S3:E21 and you’ll understand... Laura and Aaron are known to be fans of the show and they make references all the time and that phrase, while yes common in normal language is a very specific and extremely well known scene of The Office that highlights Dwight’s character.

They grow wild in my yard in So Florida east of Lake Okeechobee and I find them on small branches from the Slash Pine trees when they break off. Usually stuff them in between tree branches and trunk. Going to try hanging them on branches with wire. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of them. Good luck with yours. Oh. I think I heard that copper nails will kill trees if you drive them in their trunks.

[@WayneTheSeine]

In Houston I spotted quite a few small air plants growing on some oaks downtown. I was tempted to snag a couple of them but decided to just leave them alone. I love them. One of them had a small flower spike but I had missed the show...it was done. They are some really neat creatures.

This is a older video, but thank you so much. I was so miss informed about my first 2 beautiful air plants and they rotted away. I have bought 2 more and they have lasted much longer and are still doing very well. So I ordered myself 50 more them,lol. Now I know which will love my more tropical enclosures, and which will like the more dry ones that get misting. I have so much drift wood that needs dressing up,lol.

Eeee LOVE THE CARE GUIDES!! In Florida, I saw air plants all over the trees and telephone wires! The only thing I found wrong in this vid was when you cut the brown edges on the air plants. I would leave a thin layer of brown while cutting so it doesn't brown further. When you cut into green leaf, it starts to brown again soon!
