Growing A Jungle In My New York Apartment

SUBSCRIBE to Barcroft TV: bit.ly/Oc61Hj
A model has created an oasis in the middle of New York City by cramming 500 plants into her apartment. Self confessed “crazy plant lady” Summer Rayne Oakes decided to turn her Brooklyn apartment into a forest after her roommate moved out six years ago. Since then she has expanded the collection in her 1,200 square foot apartment and now has more than 150 plant species including a full forest wall, pineapple plants and even a banana tree.

Her Apartment looks actually amazing, actually lol. Sure it's over run with plants, but the plants are taken care of, it's organized, and not messy or dirty, the apartment actually looks pretty clean, considering all the plants in there. It's really beautiful, the set up she has in there. There might be a tendency to be a hoarder, but she looks like she has her plants under control. I love to see what she can do with a garden. Also how cool would it be to have a bio garden apartment, where the walls have growing living vines and plants you can grow. I love to see someone make that some day.

[@gazepskotzs4]

I like that bio garden idea, the only thing is that the light should come from above, normal apartments got to little light.

[@CaiCanMake]

When I had depression and was going to therapy for it, my therapist told me to start growing plants, to have something to attend to and take care of every day. So I bought a crocus, and kept it in my bedroom. It did wonders, it gave me motivation to get up in the morning. The collection has grown since then, I currently have two miniature bamboo, a narcissus, the same Lauren’s Rainbow Croton, and three different cacti. I want to try growing an ivy next, or find some sort of indoor flowering plant. Something small enough that I don’t have to worry about putting it into a smaller pot and then repotting it later.

[@alaurent2679]

little hack from a fellow indoor planter- mirrors and reflective surfaces work wonders to get rid of dark corners indoors! i make sure my plants that love direct sunlight take the brunt of the harsher reflections but with well-placed mirrors and brighter walls/mid to high gloss paints that reflect light better, you get rid of most of the dark corners. I'm mostly growing simpler plants and ones that don't need anything over 6-7 hours of good sun but i'm about to invest in at least one glow light because i want to get a miniature fruit tree!!

[@mercedesdavis6592]

It really just looks like she has a lot of big, well placed windows and with so many plants that require bright indirect light sometimes that’s enough. She most likely also has grow lights, most growers are gonna.

Plants release carbon dioxide, not oxygen, at night (and use oxygen at night) would significantly enough compromise the breathing air in a bedroom while a person is trying to sleep. so daytime good,,, but night time i dont know

[@sciddlyboogly192]

no, plants breathe carbon dioxide.

[@erikmoonweb6250]

Actually, they do! At day they do a process called Photosynthesis in which they use the energy from light, Water and Carbon Dioxide and tear apart the molecules. In the second step the plants recombine those seperated Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen atoms into sugar. After making the sugar there is some oxygen left over and it is released. The formula is 6(CO2) + 6(H2O) + Energy (Light) ---> C6H12O6 + 6(O2). At night plants do a process called Aerobic Respiration and they take in oxygen and give release CO2. That's because they are breaking down that sugar to get energy for growth and combining other elements, minerals, and chemicals for making fruits, flowers, etc. They are doing the same thing in daylight too, but photosynthesis is so efficient that the plant uses up the carbon dioxide as it makes more sugar than it actually needs, so there is an excess of oxygen, which is released. The excess of sugar is in the sap and fruits. The formula is C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6(CO2) + 6(H2O) + Energy (ATP) I am a Biology student, already took this in class.

[@bodhisativaa]

Erik Moonweb conclusion ? Is the air safe at night ?

[@erikmoonweb6250]

Well, if it's in large quantity, like her, it may be dangerous. Also, assuming you dont open a window at night. If it's only a few plant, it's completely safe. Plants take in more CO2 than they take out, also less than we do.

[@BellaPeninah]

When my parents purchased their Brooklyn home in 1968, my mom requested that my father build her an outdoor front porch on the top floor, for the exclusive purpose of growing foliage. No one was allowed to go on the porch to sit and hang out unless they were watering the plants or involved in some type of maintenance pertaining to their care. This hobby/obsession also extended into the interior of the house in every available room. (My mom has a 40 year old "tree" growing, in her downstairs living room. A real freakin' tree! The room looks like a Druid's grove.) Fast forward to now... my parents are still alive, in that same house and the front porch is a magnificent, living, colorful assemblance of greenery, almost 50 years old ! So now, the 'great grand-kids' can go help abuelita water, feed and talk to the plants just like I did as a child and my kids did, before them. ♥

Lik she rightly said,” its natural to have plants”I don’t have an apartment her size a studio with balcony. I have a pond, a garden and many plants. Now around 100. It is very much healing and keeps home alive and birds are regular visitors. After long day at work can simply relax sitting there each day watching the birds and flowers bloom in different colors. Worth the effort. Even if we don’t realize this, plants give positivity more than any furniture or gadgets at home.

Some years ago I tried house plants for the first time. All day I would fuss over them, moving them from room to room throughout the day to catch the best sunlight, messing with the leaves and branches, watering them practically every few minutes. Anyway, despite all this loving attention they didn't seem to be doing very well. Then something came up and I needed to go away for about 10 days. I wondered and worried if they would survive without me being there for them. But, to my surprise, when I returned a week and a half later, they were thriving! There was a large amount of growth and they looked healthier than they had ever! It was as if they said to themselves when I left, "Thank God, that pain in the butt is gone!" and started partying!

maybe try growing succulents? they are pretty sturdy plants and dont mind a little neglect. i water my cuttings every 10 days and my full sized plants every 14 days. and i give them fertilizer once a month (though during growing season its rec amended to do twice a month if i remember correctly) and my succulents are kept indoors cause i live in an apartment with a community yard so i cant plant outside. i found that the KZbin channel GardenAnswers is very helpful.

[@khepow]

Start with devil's ivy, it's extremely resilient, doesn't care if you water it with chemical laced tap water, totally fine with overwatering, can withstand a little neglect, pest-free, and it's beautiful too.

I was raised by a green thumb mother . We had plants everywhere and was taught at a very young age to care and respect the environment in which we share space. Love attitude!! KEEP IT UP👍👍👍

[@raphaelaallen133]

Me too

[@SteppingStonevlogs]

Literally me in the future. I will have my children picking wild berries in the woods, bird watching, getting involved with local conservation work, sowing seeds in spring, and planting vegetables in the garden. Even if they are into heavy metal and prefer swimming to being muddy, my children will have memories of plants...they won't have a choice hahahaha!

[@RealMexFoodShouldntGiveUDrrhea]

Same. We had a huge garden when we lived in Montana. My dad plants so many trees and bushes the backyard will be covered in a few years. But everything I plant dies. 😭

[@sunflower7110]

[@Pippie5555]

How is growing plants inside an apartment good for the environment? Or respecting the environment? You use a lot of water, you use electricity to run the humidifying machine and the music.

[@wyntersteele1a]

This is sheer perfection!!!! I love plants and I want them everywhere. Add three cats and I would be living the dream.

[@geslinam9703]

I love the fig plants! About 3 years ago I bought a tiny one in a 4” pot with 3 leaves at the botanical gardens in the Bronx. They love being outside for the warmer months.

[@VeronicaWang]

omg imagine her getting to know a guy "so I have a slight obsession with something" him: whats that? "I love plants lol... :|...:)" him: oh! thats not bad can I see? *later that night* *walks into apartment* him: oh...my...god...

[@a0flj0]

What? It's not that far fetched that she meets a guy with a similar obsession. Besides, she said it: it's unnatural _not_ to like having plants around. It's only the sick, constrained city life that makes many people believe plants in your home are unnatural.

o kingdom of god. You are an angel with beautiful eyes who are holy by Allah. God created humans, male and female. God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and conquer it. Dominate over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over all the beasts that creep on the earth.”

[@Bluemoon-sd8vp]

In the 70's Jerry Baker wrote a book called "Talk to Your Plants". I believe the point is, if you talk to them, they become like your pets, and you will love them and take better care of them. I always ask my plants if they are cold or if they want water.

Dye your hair red and look like you have dyed red hair. It was so unfashioinable for years.

Trust me on that one.

Poor design, should automate all the watering. Takes only 1 day, as opposed to 1 hour per day to water.

[@valken666]

+Rollo Larson No it doesn't take 30 minutes. She has 500 plants, times 10 seconds per plant equals 5000 seconds, or 83 minutes, at the very least least 60 minutes. It's not only a matter of convenience, she has a lot of spare time, people who work can't water 500 plants manually everyday.

[@pickledginger7227]

Valken- no, YOU'RE the mistaken one. She doesn't have to water EVERY plant EVERY day. She has them split. Half on one day and the rest the next, or some system.

[@valken666]
