Thank you for this video. You have a beautiful home. Love the long form video! I cook and do my plant chores while listening. 💚

[@AlohaPlantLife]

You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it💚

[@lvas1929]

Theo destroying the string of pearls is so relatable. One of my two cats LOVE to nibble on new foliage.

[@the_plants_meow]

Beautiful house and plants! I love your kitties too. I do community cat TNR and have two tripods, so seeing scooter in your videos always makes me smile 😺

[@AlohaPlantLife]

💚💚💚

[@amieefowler]

Oh how I’ve missed you! So happy to watch this video🥰❤️

[@AlohaPlantLife]

💚You guys crack me up lol. I only took one week off but glad to know I’m missed even for such a short period of time❤️

[@ClaireSiconolfi]

17:25 - I have a soft spot for Epipremnum aureums also. There’s just something about them. They’re like a favourite cozy sweater.

[@esferundito]

how beautiful colors of your Epipemnun!! I have one indoors, but its folliage is all green... I pinned some strings next to ceiling so it can climb it and grow around the pictures on the wall and pending ...

[@suegee1164]

What a wonderful collection of plants you have Drea! I always enjoy watching your videos. Luckily most of your plants are available here in the UK, so it’s helpful to me to hear about your experiences 😊

[@maryellenschall7426]

Beautiful collection! I’d love to hear how/what you do for local pop-up shop. I have too many potted rooted cuttings that I’d like to sell, but not ship. 😊

[@jamiecalvert9242]

I was scared to even try calathea for the longest time. I feel in love with a rattlesnake/pot combo at the nursery and had to have it. It’s been so easy!!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

💯

[@esferundito]

how beautiful your plants are! 🙂

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you!💚

[@Wildwoodflower81]

Just discovered your channel. Your home and plants are gorgeous. Your monstera is actually a small form (borsigiana) and they are climbers, where the large form deliciosa is a crawler and gets the huge leaves. If you put her on a trellis or a stake, the leaves will get considerably bigger and more manageable. Personally, I prefer the wild look, and I think she is beautiful.

[@jamiecalvert9242]

I understand the repot issue as your plants get bigger/older. I have such a hard time with cutting off roots to keep them in their current pot, so I just keep potting up 😅.

[@btlan6121]

You have a beautiful house. You are a plants expect definitely! everything looks so green, healthy and happy.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Thank you!💚

[@maricarocampo5128]

Luv your round shelves in your living room where did you get them?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Nebraska Furniture Mart

[@desertflower9557]

Putting your hand up to show the size of the Pinstripe’s leaf showed the difference.

[@GreenWitch1]

Lovely collection Drea! You must be hoarse after filming that. Longest video I have ever watched! I did put 2 of yours on my wish list 😊 Do you not have a spray bottle for those dang cats? You couldn’t bribe my cat to touch one of my plants.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I do have a spray bottle but it frequently only stops them for like a minute. George is a saint though. He’s never tried to mess with any of the plants.

[@GreenWitch1]

@ I popped mine on the butt a few times & told him no. He doesn’t like when I get upset with him, so he’s very well behaved.

[@hedgewitch59]

You have a gorgeous house Drea. I didn't see any cat toys on your tour so maybe the "Kids" get bored. We have 6 cats in a 2 bedroom house with 120+ plants and my cats never touch them. I think it's because they have toys scattered through the house. Either that or they're scared on me. 😂

[@AlohaPlantLife]

They were mostly stowed away in their toy box. You can actually see some of the new ones they got for Xmas on the mantel at the start of the kitchen part of the tour. I had to put them up there while I was filming the kitchen because they were going bzerk playing with them while I was trying to film in there💚

[@jamiecalvert9242]

For some reason I struggled with my neon pothos. My Manjula and Marble Queen grow beautifully though. I’m going to try the philodendron lemon lime. In my opinion, the training philodendron are less finicky than pothos. 😊

[@Ahlathein]

Yeah! My marble queen keeps killing off leaves this winter. I gave it a makeover today tobasically layer over the bare stems, but if it keeps dropping, it might have to be chopped! 😢

[@cherylk4779]

Everything is so beautiful. Thank you for such a detailed tour. I have a question about your microscope. You’ve provided the link but I’m not sure which one you’re using from that site. Can you let me know. Thanks again for your time

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Looks like they might’ve renamed it the Darwin M2.

[@cherylk4779]

@ thank you 😊

[@irairod5160]

Hello Drea! I wouldn't take that donkey's tail down for ANYTHING. With fragile plants like that, I put a bucket (or big cooking pot) on the floor, and water the hanging planter in place. The runoff water drips into the bucket. I then collect the water back into my watering can because it's usually supplemented with nutrients (fertilizer, Cal-Mag, Silica, etc.) and I don't want to waste it.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I tried that once, but it’s too close to the window so the water ended up splashing all over the window and outside of the bucket. It was a mess.

[@irairod5160]

@AlohaPlantLife Ooooooh, no! How about one of those " clip-on hanging drip saucers," the clear plastic ones? I make my own with take out containers, rope or chain, and big S- hooks or shower hooks, but Amazon, Lowe's, Home Depot sell "ready to go" ones. I'm trying to spare you from the stress that is moving that type of plant to do anything to it!

[@AlohaPlantLife]

@@irairod5160 that’s a good thought. I will have to give that a try.

[@ericunderwood]

My Llano Carti Road gets weird too. I think I let it get too dry a few times over summer. I chipped a bunch off of it, and the new growth looks normal now.

[@jamiecalvert9242]

In my experience, thaumatophyllums love the sun and thrive outside. That’s probably why the leaves are dying in the winter in a north facing window.

[@nataliet9491]

I want to do some leca and glass jars like you've done. Do you have a video on transferring plants to that?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Sure do: Mastering Leca: The Ultimate Guide to Growing Plants in Leca kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWqxfnumbah2pLs

[@jeannemuller7625]

Really like the plant stand either the Calathias. The three pot stand. Where did you get it? Nice video. 😊

[@AlohaPlantLife]

West Elm

[@lisawagner6076]

With all the plants you have why don't you use a systemic treatment for pests? I use the Bonide Systemic and I really don't see any pests. I did have a really bad fungus gnat issue last year because I got lazy with the treatments. I won't be doing that again. But I don't have any issues with the treatment even with my biggest divas (White Fusion, Orbifolia, Alocasias). I am SOOO jealous of all those gorgeously large windows!! Although I do get better light in my bedroom during the winter thanks to the trees outside, it's still not enough to keep my plants thriving. I currently have 2 pendant lights and one 4 head fixture and I am going to add 2 under shelf mounts and one Barrina stand up fixture to my room. I enjoyed your tour very much! I always love seeing your plants especially because you give the last years pic to see their progress. Thanks so much!!

[@snoywntr2]

Propagate the liniaris and keep the peduncles. I was given props of a two Hoya which had peduncles and the props bloomed! So you don’t have to give them up just plant the props back in the pot

[@katiewilliams9273]

What do you do for a living? Just curious. You dont have to answer if im crossing the line. You just have such a beautiful home

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I worked in marketing and design management for a little over 17 years. I also did swim coaching, group fitness training, personal training, and even owned a fitness studio for part of that time as well. However, for almost two years now I’ve been trying to make my living solely off of my KZbin channel and other plant related revenue streams like my website. I’ll be giving you guys a full update on how that’s been going in early February during a repot and chat video.💚

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Also, I should probably point out that I am really good with finances. The only debt I have is my mortgage, and I made a little over $100,000 off the sale of my last house (which was half the size of this one, but I owned it for 15 years) which I used as a down payment on this house. So that obviously helped make the mortgage much more affordable.

[@richardlawton1023]

I use Ph up and ph down to get my feed ph correct. Really helps.general Hydroponic brand is good. I start my feed at 5.8- 5-9.... Added to the soil gets the ph to 6.5 or so.

[@laurajackson8556]

I love your plant tour. I’m very afraid of my prayer plants all getting that huge! I have about 6 I just sprayed with sulfur and they perked up. What do you do to regulate ph?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

For most of my plants nothing because the pH is normally fine. However, every now and again one of them gets a little bit wonky and goes slightly alkaline on me. So far I’ve been using the Cal-Mag in my Amazon storefront link to help get it back to being more neutral because that particular Cal-Mag has sulfur in it.

[@Bryza-j4t]

Could you get one of those extra large garbage bags and wrap the monstera up in that so then you only have to deal with the base of vines/roots? 😅 Idk I'm running into the same problem with mine and I'm dreading repotting it 😂

[@AlohaPlantLife]

That would have to be one large garbage bag lol

[@Bryza-j4t]

@AlohaPlantLife yeah 🤣 maybe like those leaf ones? But honestly it could be just as much work getting that bag on it hahah

[@mycharmedunicorn8715]

My ZZ Raven I have about killed it. And I watered it the first day of every month. How do you get them to get bigger? Mine is small

[@AlohaPlantLife]

They’re slow grower so it just takes time💚

[@Ahlathein]

I love my big zz raven too ❤

[@randicrowe-carroca6164]

Where did you get those shelves, love them

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Nebraska Furniture Mart💚

[@eldiputacio7753]

Maybe it needs more light or more humidity. They also prefer a cooler temperature. Mine is the same but I only bought it last month in December. Hopefully over time I will find how to get it to bloom. Nevertheless they look so tropical and beautiful even with just their leaves. 🌵🌵

[@MariahBenson-j4t]

Why did you purge shismatoglottis?

[@AlohaPlantLife]

Primarily because my cat wouldn’t leave it alone, and I didn’t have a good place to put it where he would. Plus, it’s very similar to my Apoballis and I like my apoballis more.

[@snoywntr2]

Inwonder if you just set up another identical pot and sit it at the end of the first one. The plowmanii will just crawl right into its new pot. Then you can just cut off the old one when you are ready

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I’ve contemplated that…..

[@davidfarrell7318]

i have a Christmas cactus it has done nothing in the past year the leaves look ok no flowers at Christmas or any other time is it worth keeping thanksyour home is beautiful.

[@AlohaPlantLife]

If you like how it looks even when it’s not blooming then yes it’s definitely worth keeping💚

[@cyn9164]

I have one that's decided to bloom the second I got it yet my 2 year old one has yet to ever bloom for me lol I don't understand either

[@user-ek9en7vg9u]

@davidfarrell7318 When i had mine in a spot that didn't get direct light it didn't grow at all but the moment I moved it to a spot where it got a couple hours of direct light it started growing like crazy. Also if the lighting isn't an issue for u it could be ur not watering it enough it doesn't like to stay dry. U want to water it right when it drys out. To make it flower its important to not have it under a grow light as it will cause it not to bloom. Blooms are triggered by shorter days and long night. And I heard a slight drop in temperature at night.

[@cyn9164]

Is going from like 10 plants to over 50 bad.... does this mean I have an addiction lol

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I’m pretty sure I went from 5 to 50 in the course of two weeks so I’m probably not the best person to answer that question lol

[@jennykolbjornsen6805]

Lovely home! Lovely cutest kitties❤ plants look great but video is too long for me. I will pause it and save this video and watch it in increments

[@AlohaPlantLife]

I time stamped it by room so those of you who don’t have time to watch it all in one go can just stop after one room and then click on the timestamp for the next room when you start watching again💚

[@MiscellaneousMichelle]
