end-of-summer plant updates | 🌱 honest walkthrough of my collection

With your staghorn, you don’t move it, you just attach another mount to it. It’ll grow and basically encapsulate the mount so moving it could cause major damage to it

Your daughter is a your mini! Adorable.

Hi Joy! Just wanted to say that my variegated maranta is about 6 feet from a south east facing window and it loves it. Never gets direct light, but plenty of indirect light 👍🏻 good luck with yours!

[@misscindypalacio]

Frydek’s variegation turns pale green when it matures. The lily white is just for the baby/younger leaves ❤

[@sproutswithjoy]

oooo this is good to know! that makes sense.

[@dora9368]

Your daughter is super sweet and adorable 🥰

[@natjoy22]

I have re-mounted staghorn before. The soil under the moss may need a refresh.

[@natjoy22]

I really think that your holiday cactus is a true Christmas cactus. The Easter cactus leaves are rounder.

[@MeTimePlants]

I can never find the rounder leaf ones in Florida. I wonder if they are easier to find other places. All mine are pointy.

@@MeTimePlants My mom has a bunch. I can get cuttings for you! Her plants are OLD!

[@MeTimePlants]

@@natjoy22 I would LOVE that! I’ve been looking for years! Let me know and you can send it when I buy one of your crocheted plants 😁

[@natjoy22]

@@MeTimePlants Awesome! And YAY!!!

[@dora9368]

I like your Easter cactus 🌵😀

[@lotsofpots.Rachael]

I agree your baby was too cute trying to stay awake. Beautiful collection😊

[@melg8475]

She did a great job!🥰 I'm looking forward to talking about that flower later 😅

[@ceciliahess1102]

Unsolicited hot take: I am worried for your verrucosum (sp). Those little white flecks on the leaves are sketch and do look a bit like juvenile thrips. My philos sometimes get that weird translucent look like the back of those leaves, but the greying is not a good sign. Especially because it is right next to your alocasia (a genus I am straight-up biased against because the only time I had thrips it was on one of those haha). Good good luck and I hope that I am very wrong!

[@sproutswithjoy]

Thank you for looking out for me! The day after filming this, I did some serious pruning on my verrucosum and removed all of the damaged leaves and treated all the plants in that area pretty vigorously. I haven't spotted any actual thrips, but you can never be too careful. I hope I don't end up finding anything 😰

[@MikeC-o4c]

Love your videos! Do you make your own moss poles?

[@ciarrasmith1715]

So sad to hear about your baby poly albo passing. 🫶🏻 if you ever get another one, my tips are no cabinets! They don’t like heat or too much light and they don’t like to dry out.

[@sproutswithjoy]

thank you for the tips! it's such a bummer, but I just have to remind myself that plants are replaceable 💕

[@totalvamp792]

Your daughter is sooooo cute.

[@MsLou1966]

The plant that you think mighthave thrips lools alot like rust disease. You always have great plants.

[@sproutswithjoy]

I think you might be right about that!

[@Paula-sw2tt]

I would move your varigated Maranta. My is in medium light and she is thriving.

[@sproutswithjoy]

thank you! I decided to move her just the other day 💕

[@ashleyrodriguez7430]

My adansonii reverted

[@mestimac]

I found philodendron Brandi to be impossible to grow nicely. I tried everything and it would only put out stupidly tiny leaves. I was relieved when I forgot to pull it from the sunroom during a cold snap and it died.

[@hongxu4160]

Most beautiful one is the little girl.

[@totalvamp792]

How do you water all of your hanging plants

[@sproutswithjoy]

I usually just bring the whole thing (macrame hanger and all) to the sink and water it there, then let it drain out for a little bit before bringing it back! I have a cabinet over my kitchen sink and the knobs can hold up the hangers perfectly while they drip dry for a few minutes, so that definitely helps. Some plants I remove from the hangers and bring to the sink or bathtub to water, but yeah, I don't water any of them in place really.

[@michaelallen4688]

That was nice, she's adorable

[@shannoncarr7338]

Im just not one of those people who find kids cute..
