Plants That Have Died | PLANT FUNERAL PART 2

[@MonStarGuy]

"I went on vacation and it died" is totally the theme of this video 😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

😂😂 yep lolol

[@clover_dew9280]

as plant lovers we often gloss over the fact that plants die sometimes and that's alright!! thank you for touching on the topic💕💓

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

absolutely!! Its helpful to beginners especially to hear it.

[@harikamahendra]

I lost my andansonii, that I bought online, to mealy bugs in 2019. Luckily, I thoughtfully propagated it as soon as I got it. Now atleast I have the propagations left. Protip - Always propagate your plant if it's rare and if you are sure you are going to kill it! It is less likely that you will kill two plants! 😂 Aww, cute Leo! 💞

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

OOOOH! That's a great idea!! A little damage control 😂

[@jadelmiina]

i used to get soooo upset over losing plants in the beginning of my plant journey, but have learnt recently to be more relaxed about it. now if a couple simple adjustments don't fix the issue i just give up haha it's not worth the stress!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I agree with you completely!!

[@nagudaze]

Hi becca! I've been binge watching your vids for the last couple of days. I just love your personality. You seem so sweet and so charming. Please don't ever stop uploading content ❤️

[@rootedinplants]

🙌🏻

[@pockyeatingpanda]

Omg I have also been binging her videos! I got some new houseplants for Christmas and I didn’t know this side of KZbin existed 😍

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

v - Welcome to the dark side 😂😂 and thank you Cams for saying that!! So glad you're here, I see no end in sight for video making, i love it too much hehe

[@carlyprentice2797]

I did the "throw away the plant before the plant is actually dead" thing to all of my ferns. They were literally the bane of my existence and I needed more pots 🤷‍♀️

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

OMG I can't do ferns!!!

[@maggiecarroll8997]

i am so glad i am not the only one who tosses a plant when they can no longer bear to watch it shriveling up and die!! leaving most of them at school for almost an entire month for winter break stressed me out so bad but they have all made it safely to the other side!!! love you, your energy, and your videos so so much!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I definitely have done it more than once or twice... 😂 Glad you plants made it! & thank you

[@PeacefulPlanting-Sydnee]

R.I.P. plants I love these videos because it shows others that this hobby is perfect and we just have to learn from mistakes 💚🌿

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I agree completely!!

[@PeacefulPlanting-Sydnee]

@@BeccaDeLaPlants meant to say *isn't perfect* 😂🤦‍♀️

[@juliecoffey4161]

That really did make me feel better about plant deaths. So funny, I’ve gardened outside for 28 years. Things die all the time in my perennial beds, but I get SO much more invested in the indoor ones.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yes it’s definitely more sad when indoor plants die for some reason!!

[@LunovaLabs]

I also lost an allocasia, monster adansoni this year. It’s nice to hear you also let plants die when you fall out of love.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Definitely!! I wish id give them away before I let them die, but it’s something I’m working on this year 😂

[@morganmyatt1457]

I’ve been wondering about that alocasia... RIP. I went on my honeymoon this year and my plant sitter FORGOT to stop by and water my plants. Thankfully the damage could have been a lot worse, but I did lose quite a few

[@funnytime1111]

Morgan Stevens wow, never hire that plant sitter again 😭

[@morganmyatt1457]

Allison Acosta right?! 12 whole days and it apparently didn’t cross his mind once 😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

oh mercy!!! yeah not a good plant sitter 😂

[@GabsPiras]

I just give my unwanted plants to my mother in law😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

LOL great place!! better than the patio to burn lolol 😂

[@carmenwhitehead]

I lost my zebra plant when I went on vacation also. It must of been jealous of something! But, that one is on my "never buy again" list. Thanks for sharing Becca!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

LOL it was definitely jealous!!

[@lisxsa]

Thank you so much for making this video! I felt really sad because a bunch of my plants died in a short amount of time this year and I really didn't know what was wrong despite previously thinking I knew quite a lot about houseplants... so it feels really good to be reminded that it happens all the time to a lot of people! Lots of love from Germany :)

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

It definitely happens to a lot of us!! Don’t feel bad, we’re all learning ❤️

[@953orion]

Thanks for sharing Becca! Its great to know that it does happen to all of us. We've been missing you while you are on vacay! I hope your Holidays were wonderful!!! Happy New Year!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

i've been missing home!! I'll be back soon :)

[@Plantastica]

You have my deepest sympathies and I am sending all of my healing thoughts and prayers. :) It is helpful and encouraging to see others who are experienced plant caretakers still kill plants...thanks for your honesty :) Happy new year!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Absolutely! I think it's important to talk about these things along with the good stuff :)

[@aimsteraims]

Thanks for mourning with us! Happy new year to you

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Happy new year!! ❤️

[@Wolfgangsmama]

Wow, thank you for this video! it always devastated me when my plants die on me especially those ones that i've ordered online and waited and tried so hard to care for to acclimate... it's nice to see other people's plants die too and to be reminded it's not the end of the world. Love your channel

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I agree completely. It can be so sad :(

[@victorabadio9169]

Thanks for posting this! Makes me feel a little less bad for also having plants die on my care.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

It happens!!

[@BlackkCobra]

Thankyou for making these videos! It makes me feel better about the plants that I’ve killed. No one perfect. This is my first winter season for my plants. I pray they’ll survive till spring!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Praying the same!! So far so good for me. Fingers crossed!

[@kaydeecee8753]

I couldn’t help but watch Leo the first half of the video. 🤣😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

oh yeah he loves puttering around while i film 😂 i always wonder if that's distracting lol

[@blakel6189]

nobody: my parents: 2:07 😂😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

😂😂

[@phelansewell4670]

I'm so glad you made this video! I think it is important to show that all plant people are plant killers, and the best way to learn is to keep going!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Absolutely!! 🙌🏼

[@samanthalassig5130]

I’m binge watching through all of your videos and this one hit me. I lost a few plants over winter bc they weren’t pushing out new growth so I stopped watering a lot of them but luckily my favorites all made it. I think I lost like 4

[@daveandmeredithburke9996]

Wow this actually made me feel better. 99% of my plant deaths occurred because I went on vacation. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Isnt that just the worst?!? agh

[@InsubordinationFreak]

I often watch your videos when I'm not logged in, but I'm definitely subscribed. I only logged in now to tell you how handsome and clean Leo looks at the end there. I love watching his sniffy shenanigans. But since I'm here....plant rant. Sometimes the individual plant is just difficult and I must admit I have never really liked my rootbound Phil xanadu. I repotted it, but still don't like it. Maybe I should put it on the patio. Maybe I should give it away. However, I have also learnt not to get too upset when they die. It is kind of a relief and if they are not happy in my home, then I will cherish the plants that are. I have also killed a lot this year with the change of seasons and not understanding the optimal water/light requirements before it's too late or buying a 'rescue plant' (not worth it) or mysterious ailments (browning tips that spread until the leaf softens falls off). Thank God for Golden Pothos. My worst fear is to get some kind of pest infestation like thrips. Also, don't wanna move now you said that.

[@harikamahendra]

I think it would be awesome if you try to give your Xanadu to someone else. I love that plant. I have been wanting it for a year almost. I finally found it and just bought one yesterday. One man's trash is other man's treasure, I guess! Good luck finding it a new owner 💕

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

LOL thank you for logging in to tell me! I appreciate that! It's for sure a relief when they die... ugh sad to say it but it's true. Definitely thank god for golden pothos! love a solid plant like that

[@Apero1Spritz]

Some of my plants died when I went on vacation. I kinda grew to accept the fact that death is inevitable among my plants.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That's absolutely true!!

[@xAsterisk]

"We're traveling for Christmas this year." *laughs in the future*

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

😂😂😂

[@sophiebaldwin191]

Every day is a school day as a plant parent! Leo looking so cute and fluffy after his spa day..

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Very true!! He was suuuper fluffy. It was funny hehe

[@LydiaStormx]

I have 2 golden barrel cacti that were given to me. I loved them when I got them because I was young, but several years later I realize how both are very deformed and aren’t too cute. I don’t want kill them or throw them away because they are healthy but I can’t give them away because no one wants them. It’s tough.

[@_pandaemoniam_panda922]

It’s good to know that sometimes plants just die, and it’s not something we can necessarily control. I can’t, for the love of me, keep spider plants alive. They thrive for a while-even managed to hard prune and regrow-only for every single one to die. I’ve got another spider plant now so I’m hoping it’s going to survive for me. Love your videos 💚🌱

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Some plants just hate us!! haha i totally get it

[@ashleyosgood6846]

Any tips or tricks for taking care of the plant that is directly above your head? Mine keeps turning yellow! I don’t think I’m over watering. I even bought a meter for the plant and it says the soil is dry. HELP ME PLEASE 😅

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hi! I only water it when the leaves start to curl. It’s currently sitting about 10 ft from an east window. That’s all I do! Lower leaves (older leaves) will turn yellow as the plant starts putting its energy into new growth. It’s just natural!

[@Elizabeth45840]

I Absolutely Love this Channel. So glad you and Harli did that thrifting video. I did subscribe after watching that video. Happy New Year!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Woohoo!! Welcome over, thanks so much for joining us!

[@bkrbkrl]

Adansonii are one of those plants that you have to learn their needs, then they are easy. Mine I use a moisture meter and only water when dry. They also need plenty of light, a light airy potting mix and you are all set. Without a moisture meter, they can be tricky to water. An older leaf will yellow when they are making new ones, but too many yellow leaves usually mean over-watering. Mine also doesn't like my tap water AT ALL.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Those are great tips! Thank you very much!

[@FriendJamie]

I currently have a schefflera which is swiftly going downhill for literally no reason... I got a horrendous case of spider mites and lost a really stunning prayer plant and I was so sad

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Aghh I'm so sorry to hear that!

[@Sarahleanned]

New subscriber. So true, sometimes plant love just does not last. LOL. Great content 🥰

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Welcome!! ☺️❤️

[@thegardenhoe7112]

I did a similar video for Halloween. I was assessing my plant losses last week and realized how many deaths I've had in the past 2 months alone 😱 I'm trying to see it all as learning opportunity. Plus it's helping me cull the heard/decide what is worthwhile and what I secretly never liked.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yesss after the response from my first video like this, I figured I should make it a yearly thing 😂 I wish more people shared their failures! It's definitely great to use these experiences to learn from.

[@SarahBird]

I'm about to film one of these too. It's nice to know we're not alone in our losses! Haha. Leo is so cute! 💚

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I can’t wait to watch!!

[@LittleLeafSF]

Thanks for sharing! Was going to share my plants that died too since I’m sure a lot of people can relate. Rip plants.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yep, it happens unfortunately!!

[@DragonBornQueen]

I moved sept 2019 and I have had a lot of plants die. I totally know how you feel. Most of them were already struggling some of them just could not make it through such a huge change even though my new house is way more lit up than the last.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yep, that's what happened to me! It's sad but also glad to be rid of the stress lol

[@xxsaaaron]

'If you like this content and want to see more...' yeah can't wait to see more funerals haha

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

LOLOL well hopefully not more than my annual funeral 😂😂

[@ivyanderson9234]

I have a had a fittonia die on me this year also. A crispy wave fern, 2 kangaroo ferns, 2 alocacias, variegated prayer plant, and a tradescantia, (still struggling to keep my back up tradescantia alive through water propagation.) Oh and a glorious variegated wax ivy and a grape leaf ivy due to spider mites. The others died due to moving accidents, and neglect (spent a lot of time on my new veg garden at new house.) All which hurts more because I have to source most of my indoor plants when im out of town. There is no selection at all in my tiny remote town. Gah. All part of the process right? 🌿

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Definitely all a part of the process! May we learn from our mistakes!!

[@adrianneconstant]

I'm thinking maybe you could look at the roots when you see it's dying, and maybe repot it? There might be rootrot? One of my plants died once cause my cat decided to pee on it too LOL so sometimes the soil is the issue!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That’s very true!! I’m making a pact with myself to analyze my plants when they’re going wrong rather than just giving up! But OMG what a hilarious way to die 😂 poor planty!

[@Cottonheadedninnimuggins]

i have lost sooooo many plants for no reason at all. ive also lost some because i was gone on vacation, which includes a verigated alocasia and alot of calathea. its a sad time, and when u think of how much money is lost its even more sad. 😭

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh man, I try not to think of the money part 😭

[@avaf1084]

So sorry. I have a fittonia which I almost killed due to lack of water when I was away for a few days. I cut it back, propagated in water. I repotted cuttings and so far so good. Very thirsty plant. My 3 marantas are dying a slow death no matter what I do.

[@harikamahendra]

Marantas hate chlorine in water. Let your water sit for a while before watering them. Maybe it might help. Good luck.

[@avaf1084]

@@harikamahendra I wish that was the answer, but I use rainwater on all my houseplants. It started with me battling mealybugs and I just can't seem to get them to grow properly. Thanks for the input.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

It's the worst when it seems plants are dying for no reason! :( wishing you luck!

[@hollyhasegawa6095]

Hi Becca, I'm trying to catch up on all of my videos, life got crazy busy and I have missed my plant tubers. I would love to get a Monstera Adansonii, it is on my wish list, and either the long version or the wide leaf version, I just would love one. I have a fittonia and just recently added to it to make a fuller plant and so far it's doing okay, I love this plant and it may not be the most beautiful but it is still a pretty plant and I love her. I refuse to buy anymore ivy's because they start out so great then they go downhill and end up with spidermites and that just creeps me out so no more Ivy's for this gal. You have nothing to be ashamed of, sad like the rest of us that have lost plants, but I have killed my share of plants over the years, I had a very large string of hearts that died, a ponytail palm, a velvet Calathea, and many Ivy's. But over the years I have learned so much about watering and repotting, and a lot of it I have learned from my plant Tubers with the tips and tricks and just the great videos that you and a lot of others have put out. Thank you as always I just really appreciate the content you give us and look forward to each and every video. Have a great day and I will see you soon, especially since I am binge watching the videos I have missed, Love you, hugs and bye for now.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hi holly! Glad you’re able to catch up :) we have definitely all killed plants and it’s just more opportunities to learn!

[@thatmomwithalltheplants9462]

When I discovered amazon ordering of plants I had a major influx of ordering online too! 😂😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

hahaha! It's dangerous!

[@desireedusseau1769]

I just had to bury a Norfolk pine. I've had it for a year and I thought this winter dryness was taking its toll. I later realized I was watering a dead plant for like a month. Lol!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

oh my gosh!! 😂

[@annam2736]

I had a big, beautiful peperomia polybotrya that I did so many things wrong with before I put it on my patio, which is also how I try to fix dying plants lol 🙋🏼‍♀️ I propagated a leaf, and the next week it had thrips. It was the slowest plant death I have ever had in my home, and it was awful to watch. I should have just thrown it away, it was not good for my sanity 😂 the propagation is doing awesome and actually turned into a few small plants, which are so happy and growing so quickly!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh my gosh, I hate the slow deaths!! But I’m glad that the propagation is happy 😄

[@Pickle_breath]

I had a Boston fern that I had been struggling to keep alive for 6 months. I was so sad but honestly relieved when it died 😭

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hhaha yes the sense of relief... been there 😂

[@ashleymia991]

Lol! I need to do a plants I've killed in 2019 video too! Plenty of content for that. Haha

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yess!! Can’t wait to watch 😂

[@deijahbernie8156]

I’ve thrown a nerve plant for the pot before... 👀👀😂 Usually YT notifies me when you upload so I didn’t see this until now. I looked and the bell notification wasn’t on, so if you notice a decrease in views YT probably messed up some channels notifications. RIP plants 2019. ☠️

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh my gosh! There was a glitch from KZbin dropping subscribers and it was fixed. Probably didn’t fix the bell notifications! Thank you for checking in on that!

[@michellebowman5568]

It's comforting to see I'm not the only one that's killed a bunch of plants. It took me 3 calathea deaths to accept I shouldn't own calatheas 😢

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahhhh yep, some plants just aren't meant for us 😂

[@b21.9]

This is very embarrassing but I need to get it out of my chest : on my first online purchase, I saw that there were a couple of options for the shipping. Of course, I - wanting to save money - picked the cheapest one, which arrives in 2-4 days. I ordered an Oxalis Triangularis, a Philodendron Brazil, and a Peace Lilly. I thought they were going to pack them in their pots, in a big box. I've never watched unpacking plants videos, so I did not know that soilles packaging was even possible. I was shocked to see that they arrived in a long flat box. They all arrived in a sad condition. Long story short, all of them died after a couple of days, except for the Philodendron Brazil. That happened probably around 2 years ago, and the Philodendron Brazil is still alive and thriving today 😌❤️ Thanks for listening to my story, have a great day! 😂🌻

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahh!!! It happens to the best of us! ❤️

[@jenvee9110]

My stingray alocasia had thrips and no matter how much I sprayed and tried to get rid of them they would come back. I think the alocasias must be tasty to thrips 😜 I tried all summer, but eventually I let it die back. I did keep the bulb and I’ll try again in the spring.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahhhhh :( they must be delicious!

[@jenvee9110]

I’m thinking they are! I won’t taste test or anything, but they seem to be! 🤣

[@MyCleanLeaves]

I remember the plant shelf fail. That was tragic.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

truly it was 😂😂

[@carolinep.8907]

Thanks for sharing! I feel inspired to finally let my calathea ornata go...she's been going downhill since day 1 lol

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hahah sometimes it’s good to just say bye 😂

[@colleebear2105]

Good thing you can find fittonia's easy at big box stores! At least you can here in Missouri, they're everywhere.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I wish it were that easy here! It took me forever to find another fittonia here.

[@debrawarrick2911]

*lol, I also have a tendency to move plants outside that aren't thriving inside and/or that I'm not super excited about anymore. I replant them in the ground though, in one of my flower beds. I've found that Mother Nature does a much better job of taking care of them that way. Sometimes they thrive, sometimes they come back year after year...sometimes they don't. :-)

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh that’s a great idea! I hope someday I can have a flower bed outside to do the same.

[@linneamariephotography]

Does anyone have any tips for a jade and pearls pothos? I just can’t keep mine happy! Maybe in shock after a repotting? Please help 😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh god... I’m no help. I failed at that one 😂

[@linneamariephotography]

Becca De La Plants Mine keeps getting brown tips so I’ll probably push it closer to the light but it’s hard having leafy plants with cats. I can’t put my plants with in reach of them. SO pretty but if it keeps turning yellow after wanting water, I bet it’s in a little bit of shock. Can’t wait to see your next video, girl!!

[@rachelbesse872]

I did the same exact thing with my ivy when it was looking bad.. but the new plant in that pot is happy so.. 😂

[@GiveUaKnuckleSandwhich]

When I was in highschool- twas a windy day during our algebra test. All of a sudden my teacher gasped and when we looked, her plant was falling out of the window. She gave me and a friend extra credit bc we went all the way to the front of the building (from the 3rd floor) to save the plant lol. #emergencyplantrescue

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Omg!!! Hahahah how sad but also glad it was able to be rescued PLUS extra credit 😂

[@vintageintentions]

I just killed my Jade plant. My biggest issue is the correct planter per plant needs 💔. Soo happy I'm not the only one

[@ruthsalinas9479]

How do house plants get infected with pests though?? So scary! I wouldn’t want my entire collection to die! I just don’t get where the pests come from if the plants are safely indoors.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I genuinely don't know. It seems like they come from nothing 😂 I know that some of them can live in the soil for a while undetected. Hmm. Would be a nice research project to figure it out 😂

[@jetluff1515]

I just hope there's someone who talk about me, the way you talk about your dead plant

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

😂🙌🏼❤️

[@FedUp-bd4gv]

i think that all of us planty people have had failures, but it's ok, live and learn. I think that the houseplant frenzy of 2019 has come to an end, and I bet the greenhouses that shipped all of the plants are having the last laugh.

[@kanecurtis3215]

I’m with you with the whole loose interest or never really had interest in a plant. I will admit even though it makes me sound horrible but i had a cactus that got mealy bugs and honestly i was so fed up with pests and the cactus didn’t mean much and i kinda maybe just locked it up in a room and “forgot” about it. surly i’m not the only one ? 😬😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yep absolutely!! I agree and have done it myself 😂

[@citylifestevie]

I remember when you got that variegated alocasia. I went to the same Lowe’s and got the last one... guess what? Mines is a goner as well. I went home to nyc for a week and came back to a full blown measley bug outbreak that nearly erradicated everything in the area I had it 😩😩😩 don’t worry if I ever find it again I’ll def send you one!!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I wonder if they were already in the plants when we bought them!! I was shocked by how quickly it died. :( OMG - if you ever find one again I would definitely pay you to send me one!! I'd love a second chance lol

[@farmerswifesince95]

It is a weird time for my plants. All my vining plants are flourishing and shooting out new growth while I have a few others that are so sad. Especially my calathea white fusion.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Calathea are so touch and go! I hope it turns around for you.

[@trayvixk4642]

I've killed a zz plant. A ZZ PLANT. That thing is half plastic half living but I got it when I was new to plant care. It was a learning experience 😭

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hahaha “half plastic” 😂😂

[@bunnyfluffyfluffs]

did you get the idea for this video from plant fb group?

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Nope! My own idea. “Plant funeral” was a video I made in the first few months being on KZbin 😁

[@aunygomez2529]

I killed 3 plants in December because I left them on my patio and we had an "artic freeze" in Texas. I've been actually sad about it because they were all thriving prior. Then to top it off my succulents got attacked by mealybugs bugs so I used the "soap and water method"...which was a huge mistake because they immediately died too😭

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahhh :((( so sad when they freeze!

[@PeanutsPlants]

I've killed so many 😥 the one I was the most upset about was my burro's tail that my cats murdered. Thanks for sharing!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahhh sorry to hear that :(

[@ss-np2qf]

I killed an alocasia this year too :( really upset me because I’d been wanting one for SO long but I bought it with spidermites unknowingly and that plus possibly not enough light are what killed it

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahhhh :(( better luck next time for us!

[@stardoll1995]

Well this at least makes me feel a little better about some of the plants I couldn't manage to keep alive! 😂 I feel less alone on the struggle.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

yep definitely not alone in the struggle!!

I had almost the exact same experience with my linearis. I just. Could. NOT figure out how to make it happy in my house.

RIP little fittonia! Fittonia is on my rip list as well. I can't keep them alive ☹️ 😔

Usually I"m so good at them... but this one I couldnt save :( makes it hurt a lot more! lol

[@amyp8162]

Have you tried a terrarium for them?? I have a couple in terrariums that I water like 2 or 3x a year!

[@idahoplantlady8967]

My ferns all die. Idaho is just too dry. I just can’t keep succulents alive either. I think I underwater them which I’m not sure is possible. I lose interest too. I try and give it away before I kill it. Haha

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

😂😂 I admire you for giving them away before they die! That’s my hope for this year

[@idahoplantlady8967]

You can do it! I know it!

[@batintheattic7293]

I'm killing things but not through LACK of attention. Quite the opposite (except for that lovely cactus - what happened lovely cactus?). I need to find a youtube video where somebody explains how to build a plant sanitorium. You know - like a place to put the poorly plants that will give them ramped up conditions for being healthy. I have an outhouse. I could build a plant hospital in there. We can't have absolutely perfect houseplant conditions all over our homes - but we could have a small portion of a shed, or outhouse, where there is a little hospital. There could be a quarantine area, too. I'm thinking heat pads, strategically positioned grow lights, humidifiers etc. Becca puts sick plants on her patio and it's, basically, a prognosis of death. There has to be a better way.

Oh yeah a plant hospital would be a great video!! Definitely has to be a better way than my patio 😬

[@savannahheltsley2631]

i definitely throw away plants before death when i need a new pot... i thought i was a bad plant owner for that lmao. thank you

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

😂😂 I do often lol

[@doyouzgot2knw]

OMG i came home today after a weekend at my boyfriends, and my Aluminum Plant was wilting cause it had dried up a bit. OOPS. but hopefully it bounces back.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahhh fingers crossed!

[@paytonmarrison1295]

My problem is I always over water my plants, I need one that can get a to of water.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Ahhh! Ferns!

[@Feralandshort]

Ughhh I hate thrips. I lost a cactus to them, weird thing was they were only infesting one plant when there were many next to each other. I’m even a pest control technician and used my company’s product on the plant with the infestation and it did NOTHING -.- I just threw it away, I tried saving a single piece by treating it with alcohol, and isolating it but it died because I forgot about it/gave up LMAO

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Goo thing it was only on one plant though! Sheesh, too bad to lose the plant but good riddance with the stress 😂

[@stinkymeow2840]

Is it true that zebra plants die during winter?

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I don’t think that’s true! I had mine for 2 years and it loved through all season!

☺️☺️ thank you!

[@leelamarie513]

The burgundy rubber tree and ficus behind you aren't looking great either... maybe your dog has been sabotaging them? That's a lot of plants to have died in such a short time. Focusing on one at a time builds a relationship and then you can understand what they need. This hoarding mentality I see in social media is crazy! Plants aren't worth it if they're making you stressed for sure.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I’ve expressed in the past my struggles with ficus in the past, those were in rough condition before Leo. I’m learning, and thankfully they’re on the up and up :)

[@leelamarie513]

Becca De La Plants that’s great! I was watching him sniffing them and was like uh oh! I’m sorry if my comment came off negative. I think I was genuinely affected by the deaths lol! And I’ve been frustrated lately with some plant KZbin channels I’m subscribed to and lumped it in with my comment to you :( I love your channel :) I just won’t watch the death videos ;)

[@eliashaid4013]

letting a plant die because you don't like the way it looks anymore is the dumbest reason ever. Plants are still living organisms and yes they might not feel pain but still, why didn't you just gift them to someone or sell them?

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That’s very true! I’m working on that this year :)
