I'm proud of you for sharing your experience and recognizing when you need to take a break. Mental health is something that should be taken seriously. You leading by example is something I admire so much. I love your videos. Thank you for sharing all sides of you. Loved this video!

Self care is important

[@makaylatysver3286]

I won’t be the first person to say this but prioritize yourself over creating content! It brings me joy to hear you’re feeling better than before. Also, before you toss your variegated hoya compacta give it a tiny chop. In my experience hoya go crazy after a trim but of course everyone is different ☺️

[@lisaanglim9588]

What a nice big window. You’ve got your plants lined up against the sill like I do. That’s my living room window like I do. I can’t close the shades down either.

I recommend you chop the obliqa runner so you can encourage more leave growth and then prob the runner for more baby plants! 👸🏼👍🏽🙏🏼🪴

[@covidious7916]

I’m just getting into the plant life and your videos have been so helpful, thank you so much!

[@Haazziee]

I suggest trying putting some worm castings in your variegated Hoya compacta. Mine wasn’t growing at all and once I put that in, it took OFF. So try sprinkling about a teaspoon in and see if that helps! It’s done so much for all of my plants. I’ve used worm castings in every plant I have, besides plants that like more acidic soil I’ll use coffee grounds.

[@idahoplantguy9027]

Your updates are my favorite. It's a calming experience. 😊

With leca I leave water in it for 5 days and then the two days I let the roots dry. Then back to water solution.

I kept my variegated hoya compacta outside this summer. It wasn't super happy inside but grew like crazy out there. New leaf everyday almost.

[@jeeii]

Just wanted to tell you, I love you and your my favorite youtuber! Your amazing Fern, beautiful on the inside and out!! Thank you for being such a wonderful influence on my plant journey. I just started collecting plants the beginning of this year and I have learned so much from your videos. I love bringing home a new plant and being able to come home and watch one of your videos on the care or advice. It’s soooo helpful being able to go back to your videos for help!! Can you please do a updated nutrient water video and show us how you fertilize all of your plants. I just started using “great white mycorrhizae”, I’ve heard great things about it. Anyways love you boo!!!!

The epi nonid... I was sold one as an epi blue as well. Its not a cebu but its somethibg.. darker green and the leaves growing on a plank got huge

My Hoya compacta took so long to start growing but be patient it’s so worth it 😍

[@Sophia1991sd]

your varigated Adansoni's new leaves changed my mind about this plant😍😍and moved it from my dislike list to my wishlist. the varigated Adansoni I have seen here, all had just yellow varigations and also browned leaves so they looked like sick plants not beautiful varigated ones. but yours is so gorgeous

[@cadgon7289]

I hope the nano tape works! If it doesn't, you can try the large 3M Command Strips. The amount of weight each strip can handle is written on the packaging, so you can estimate how many strips you'll need based on that. We use them to hang wooden frames, acrylic easles, mirrors and metal sheets (magnetic boards) in our toddler and preschool classrooms. If those strips can handle kids, I'm sure they can handle a grow light!

[@chrisplantguy]

Hey! The noID epirmnum might be a epipremnum pinnatum Asian form. I’ve got a couple in my collection that look pretty similar

maybe you should move your billietiae on your coffee table so it has room to spread out with little obstruction and move your dragon scale somewhere else, since it does well in relatively low light where it is!! i love your videos so much and i can't wait for the upcoming one!

[@pedrocarvalho6391]

Hope you continue to feel better! Yeah I only have few plants purely in leca now... an alocasia micholitziana, a strelitzia, asparagus fern and a ficus benjamini.... Some plants I find just hated leca and it's probably sth to do with the pH (too lazy to measure it lol) all my scindapsus in leca all gave up on living hahahaha the cuttings I would put in there also never rooted. I just moved everything to a custom pon mix with vermiculite to work as a pH buffer. I love my plants, but I am not testing the pH of over 100 of them and buying pH up and down etc... I have everything set up so they take care of themselves with very little maintenance due to my schedule 🤷‍♂️ Your plants are looking absolutely amazing btw! That obliqua and majestic are just 🔥prestine🔥 and that painted lady... oof, it's always amazing for our mental health to see thriving plants hahaha Thx again for the awesome video and stay healthy 😎💪🏻

[@siefnails_]

I have an hoya c. variegata stuck like yours 😒I think i'll try hydroculture 🤞🏻

[@Dieppaloveplants]

Do you know if you let the hoya trailing it will activate a difrent grow point and it will form another plant and is true i did it with my polynera albo and now she growing a diferen plant next to the old cutting :)

[@stephenw.6588]

About the LECA situation… me too! I find it’s a great medium for rotting roots - favourite flavour seems to be anthurium ;-). I have only my Philo patriciae still growing in LECA. Aroid mix for everyone else. Your Monstera dubia is totally solid. I hope to someday be able to grow a - Ta l l - plank of shingles and eventually get a few mature-form leaves (illuminated elevator shaft required?) As always, love your videos. We’re grateful for everything you offer.

[@FullyRooted_PlantBoutique]

I don’t know too much about plants but I think your “ NO ID “ plant is an Epipremnum pinnatum Skeleton Key (young plant). Which gets the fenestrations. May want to do some research but it may be that! 😉 Either way, super cool collection!

[@dmbaldwin77]

As usual loved your video. Where did you get the black corner shelf and the black shelf in your Milsbo cabinet? Love them. I have a Milsbo with shelves but love the black.

I’m a beginner living in the southwest US. I love your videos. I watched all the older videos. It’s nice to see you happier and pretty. 😄 i am interested in knowing what you did with the old self watering pots. I’m doing a collection of sansiviera that live mostly on my screened patio fall through Spring since summer I’d 110° a lot. I also have other heat adapted succulent that are well established on my outside south facing porch. Inside I’m concerned about humidity. I’d like to get other plants but can’t get too humid in the house because of needing not so much humidity wirh air conditioning. Most of my indoor succulents are in front of a north facing sliding door and east facing kitchen window. Any suggestions on any other plants except succulents for a bit dryer environment indoors?
