The gold star made me so happy! 😂

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Aw haha I’m so happy you like those. 👏⭐️🌿

[@rudlekthebear3697]

Your Philo G. is the prettiest plant I have ever seen anywhere!! 😍

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Omg thank you! You just made my day! 🥹🌿

[@liteweightpup2561]

My best comeback plant has got to be three little begonia Rex that I got at Lowe’s for .50 each. They were dried up and almost dead. Now the pot I put them in is overflowing! My best grower besides Hawaiian Pothos is peperomia Hope. I just love that funky plant.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

That is SO awesome! 👏👏 it’s such a reward when you can bring a plant back to life, never mind about making it thrive! Both the Hawaiian Pothos and the Peperomia Hope are such good plants! 👏🌿🤍

Amanda: Very creative and original idea for a video! Thanks to your viewers for sharing! 😊 I have seen a huge improvement in almost all of my plants with the cooler weather. Trust me, our summer was not easy on my plants and many of them did poorly. I have more of them growing indoors now and several behind the protection of our large palm trees. My best come back plants: hoya carnosa, calathea ornata, some coleus varieties to name a few. Star of the show: calathea makayana for most consistent, healthiest and least work. Yes, I have a monstera deliciosa right at the front door which looks lovely. Happy new year and Aloha for now! 🪴

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Hi Michael! I’m so glad you loved this video 👏 a calathea as a comeback plant!? That’s impressive, not many people can say that 😅. I’m glad your plants are adjusting well indoors. Hopefully next summer your outdoor plants well do better - sounds like you have a good strategy. 😊🌿

[@michaeld1726]

@@BotanicalBrunette Just a quick one here: I'm learning to keep my plants in shadier areas, also "cooler" temps here mean overnight low of 68 degrees vs. 81 degrees. This definitely helps! Aloha! 🪴

[@wasistinibarnhart1198]

I like your award idea. I start to think of the categories for my plant collection.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Thanks so much! Let me know if you think of any fun categories! 🌿😊

[@soniarodriguez4971]

Love love all you plants they are beautiful

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Aw thank you so much!! 😊🌿

[@annavillagrana3044]

I’m loving this video. I just paused half way through to say my philodendron brandi was also very difficult. I started with a full plant and have a 2 leaf cutting left.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

THANK YOU & Ugh so sorry you’re going through that annoying journey with yours too. It seems like most people I talk to can’t seem to make them happy.

[@annavillagrana3044]

@@BotanicalBrunette I agree and it’s such a beautiful plant.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Really nice choices in each category I guessed three of them from the five categories. 😊

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Haha I’m sure you did! You’re getting to know me and my plants well 👏😊🌿

[@natashaoreilly7072]

The plant that has brought me the most joy over ‘22 is a group of plants and those are my Anthurium seedlings, I adore them so much 🥰

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Omg they must be adorable! 🥹🌿

[@cherylsignor9646]

You have so many beautiful plants! They look so pristine in their white pots! My plant of the year is my philodendron verrucosum. Last year I rotted the mother plant and propagated the nodes. I can’t believe how gorgeous the leaves are!

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Aw thank you, Cheryl! Glad you were able to regrow your verrucosum back. I love how if you know a plant isn’t doing well you can (on most plants) take cuttings or what I like to call insurance policies. And they really do have gorgeous foliage! 😊👏🤍🌿

[@shellydayle]

OMGOSH! Amanda! I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Such a FUN way to look back at the year. The gold stars cracked me up! Just love love loved this! Happy New Year!

[@BotanicalBrunette]

THANK YOU!! I’m so happy you loved this video - I’m definitely going to make it an annual thing now. The gold stars were so fun. I chuckle when I walk past my plants now and see them. They’re little badges of honor 😂🌿🤍

[@lisaanglim9588]

Yeah calathea. I love that plant

[@BotanicalBrunette]

They’re so great! 👏

[@Ginger_Odie]

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Thank you so much, love! 🫶🌿

[@caitiebug1510]

Such a fun video! Do you mind sharing where your sweater is from? It looks so cute!

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Thank you! I probably got it at tjmaxx or Marshall’s

[@jacquelinedaniels87]

I bought three Lowe’s Brandi’s this year. I currently have no Brandi’s. No more are allowed here.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Oh no Jackie, I feel your pain. Mines holding on by the thinnest thread - after that no more 😅✌️

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

My Plant of the year was Rhaphidophora tetrasperma. It grew like insane. It stopped growing in the winter but there is a growth point ready to explode whenever the time is right. I tried to propagate it in soil and it roted on me. Next time I'll try water. I also propagate hydrangeas in water. They looked bad but for my surprise after about two months there is some roots and some new leafs 🍃 trying to grow. I have them right on east facing window. I may try to grow it as house plant since I don't have good spot for it outside.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Oooo I love a good Rhaphi! They are super hard to propagate in soil, but do well in water. Mine have always rotted propagating in soil.

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

@BotanicalBrunette I've never had a plant grow so fast it's only hard to get it started. I even bought a pot with new plants and most of them rotted despite I planted them in the same pot where the old plant was. I am still figuring out how to grow new plants. I want to be able to grow things other than cacti which I pretty much can grow in stones. Some volcanic stones and slow release fertilizer would do. I grow Haworthia in just leca. I have just a little bit of soul around the roots and the rest is just leca..Leca stays moist just enough for the succulents to pull out moisture and than dries out. That way I don't get root rot which is number one killer in my case. I live next to water and it gets very humid most of the year. It's funny how in this climate I am growing so many succulents. One would assume I would do better with jungle plants. And I will eventually if I get the mix right. Currently I grow them in mostly bark. Ever since I started using bark my plants survive much better. I just have to figure out how much bark to use on every individual plant.

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

Philodendron Branti is kind of fragile. When I was planting it was breaking apart. I have it in a small pot in chunky mix and I check it often if the top "soil" is dry. I don't let it go bone dry. It puts out new leafs. They are extremely small but that's better than nothing. I assume they'll get bigger when winter is over. I am very happy it's still alive and growing. I have hope for it.

[@user-gu4pg2zy7d]

Hi Amanda, the plants that have brought me the most joy in 2022 would be my Alocasia Cuprea, Alocasia Frydek, Calathea Orbifolia, Thai Constellation, Burros tail, Heart Leaf Philodendron, Monstera Variegata and my Norfolk Pine. Can’t whittle the choice down more than that 😄

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Hi! Haha it’s so hard to choose right?! Those are great picks tho! 👏😊🌿

[@dorothymcintosh-sims597]

Hello, ok ur plants r loving u. I just purchase a 4 leaf Hoya Publcalyx splash.( only in a 3in container) Urs is magnificent. What location do u keep urs for light? Seeing that gorgeous beauty I now know what it will grow into.Thank U

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Hi Dorothy! Congrats on your new Hoya! That one is so easy and low maintenance. Mine actually was only a little bigger than yours is now (I got it in a 4 inch pot) and it’s grown so much in the last 2 years I’ve had it! I keep mine under a grow lights on my plant shelves.

[@aspirativemusicproduction2135]

Worst plants of the year. Scindapsus Moonlight and black velvet alocasia. I don't know what the freaking hell they want. They look amazing and die amazingly. Now I avoid them like the plague.

[@kalyanishah17]

But all plants are good boys

They definitely are!
