getting my plant room organized, tending to sad rehabs and moving plants around!

[@ronjakh]

Sticking new props in with other props that have already rooted is a very good idea! When roots are rooting they release a hormone called auxin, which is responsible for root growth and this makes other cuttings root faster ☺️ pothos produce a huge amount of auxin so they’re perfect for co-rooting

[@lisaanglim9588]

Make a cactus garden then you can have all of the cacti together. And less pots. A shallow dish would be cute.

[@mommayanna]

Your place isn’t even messy haha. You are really a spotless housekeeper. Thanks for the nice video. Take care of yourself!

[@dianakassandra403]

What helps me stay clean with my plant stuff is if I use something I put it back right after I’m done using it. I guess I’m OCD but helps me stay clean and organized. ❤

[@virginib1028]

Pregnancy suits you wonderfully, you are glowing !!

[@cannuck3577]

I use a fat broccoli and elastic band to hold those hard to balance props in water or pon. Works brilliantly keeping the plant stems from falling outta the vessels 😊

[@lisaanglim9588]

I like the look of the euphorbia that has the long leaves.

[@pursuinghappiness1540]

That euphorbia by the tv is stunning!

[@cristyandplants]

Sherm! You've made me laugh so much. "Just turn this off. Give it a thumbs down." 😂😂😂😂 Never! We love your content!!!! ❤❤❤ We all have crap days but this video was honestly hilarious and great.😅

[@unplantparenthood]

there were so many times that day where i was like WHAT AM I EVEN FILMING 😆 thank you for being here even when i feel like i'm being a bore 🫠

[@lisaanglim9588]

Charmaine I enjoyed this video. And can’t wait for the vlog. Go easy on yourself. You’re starting to “nest”. The feeling you need to b do things to get ready for baby. And most of it has nothing to do about baby. Except stuff directly related to baby. Like setting up the nursery and the spade in your room. You’ll do those too.

[@ashleecaraveo2831]

Woah! Close to sunset at 3pm! I know I know....depending where you live it varies, but I was blown away as I struggle with a sun set at 6pm in San Antonio, TX and I will no longer complain!

[@lindaedwards4632]

Congratulations, you got a lot done 😀🇨🇦

[@mg-qq5yc]

There is something about your voice that reduces my stress, whatever you are saying regardless of the topic I enjoy, even if I don't watch just listening, its like you are talking out loud to yourself, your inner voice speaking out.

[@tynatheunicorn]

Hi Charmaine, your desk area is perfect! I do the props with other props idea too as it works quite well 😊 Also you ‘mess’ was funny.

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

Again with the perfect timing 🥰 I was JUST refreshing my feed hoping for more planty content, and now you've blessed us 🪴🥰🙌🏻 Also, you're GLOWING and I love that so much 🥹🥹🥹

[@unplantparenthood]

Thank you Shelby 🥹 for the most part my nausea has passed and it’s so nice to have some relief!! That was seriously the worst 3.5 months of my life 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

@@unplantparenthood I'm glad you have some relief at least!! I've heard the first half can be extra rough with the nausea for some people, it makes me a little nervous for when my time comes 🥲

[@carolstuff]

You’ve overdone it today; however, you got so much done while in good spirits. Thanks for sharing!

[@donnatrigg]

enjoyed hearing your troubleshooting thought process with the ripsalis. :)

Yay another video ❤❤ What a treat ❤ I’ll be watching this whilst I pluck out splinters from my fingers My stupid brain thought it was like a great idea to try and repot my cactus collection without gloves Now I’ve got tiny spines stuck on my fingers 😢😂😂

[@unplantparenthood]

Omg!! That’s the worst! If you have a really sticky tape like duct tape, put it over your fingers and then pull fast like you’re waxing yourself. It works so well!

[@coffee2962]

@@unplantparenthood ahhh I’ll definitely try that 👍 Apparently honey works as well?? I’ve got enough splinters to test various methods on 😆

[@SLee-vc9gd]

Nope sorry I had to give this a huge👍🏼!!!!😁💚 This video was VERY much appreciated. I am in a similar situation/head space with my plant crap AND my "den" area looks like Christmas threw up all over the effing floor. I had to get everything in from outside before the last 2 "storms" hit because I live on a windy hill and I just plopped it down wherever. So now before I can even get to my plant stuff I have to organize & pack away Christmas...which always depresses me. So I therefore have zero energy to accomplish sh*t.😮‍💨 Thanks for the laughs and realism.🤗

[@gablovesplantssydney]

Just started watching this video and I can relate to the mess. I had two weeks off over Christmas (the first went to Melbourne to spend Christmas with my brother) and the second week was supposed to be an organising week. I ended up just making a mess. Thought I could do my closets in a day and a half (been on a health journey last year and lost almost 60 pounds so needed to clean out the things that don’t fit anymore) and then wasgoing to tidy my office/plant room, do my balconies, tidy my 2nd bathroom ( which I have turned into a potting shed) and have everything organised to start back at work this week. Ended up with a pile of clothing on the dining room table, prop boxes everywhere, scratches all over my arms from ripping out balcony plants that got attacked by caterpillars while I was away and feeling exhausted and overWhelmed. Best laid plans! Eh! Your video gives me hope that i can get past this mess to a tidy organised home so I can enjoy my plants again. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of your real life. makes me feel so much better!

[@melanieg.9092]

I was rewatching your videos all day today, so excited for a new one! ❤

I'm watching this to calm down and disinfect my home after a VERY gross leak from the unit above us (will be going to one of your cleaning vlogs after I'm sure...) Thanks for the peaceful video 💚 (also, Saltburn was fantastic!? Uncomfortable at times but I loved it)

Hi Charmaine! Thanks for another great video. I see that you use the Muji planter for some of your crawling plants. Would love to know which size container you use!

[@unplantparenthood]

hi!! the sizes i use most often are the 10x32x12cm and the 15x32x12cm. :)

thank you 🥹 and I AGREE! when i turned 32 i was like yeaaah i don't think i need kids, but then the baby fever just kept getting worse and worse and here we are 😂

[@rhodealexandre6583]

That's why I prefer large leaved plants because I find it easier to treat for pests. Edit: Right now I am having mixed feelings because I have been gifted Hoya Hindu rope. I do not want to throw it in the trash so I am suspicious because these twisted leaves tend to hold nasty secrets

[@PetraEmmy]

Oh I will freak if mine gets pests because it has just started to grow..It’s been 2 years since it did anything 😅

[@rhodealexandre6583]

@@PetraEmmy wow! 2 years. Keep a close watch and good luck

[@lisaanglim9588]

You could use bonide systemic granules if you live in the states. Unfortunately Canada doesn’t allow it but it gets into the cellular level and when the spider mites, thrips both get killed when they eat the plant. Mealies is the tricky one. Go ahead and use Charmaine’s solution it’s got alcohol in it and so should kill mealies. If you’re careful you should be able to open the leaves a little to spray inside. Good luck. They are such beautiful plants.

[@unplantparenthood]

oh gosh, i love the way a nice full trailing hindu rope looks but i am TERRIFIED to bring one home. pretty much everyone i know who has owned one or currently owns one says they just live with the mealybugs. i cannot!! 😵‍💫

Usually when were renting our landlord was good to remove there furniture or we can throw them out. Also we didn’t want to waste so much money on buying big furniture since we were only renting. We just got new bed mattresses. And just scrub the fridge sanitize it. We were lucky the washing machine was brand new. Also we deep cleaned the sofa. Lucky we only rented for a year and the landlord took back there home then. In the future would you turn your husband’s office into a full nursery? And share your plant room with your husband then. Or he would work in the bedroom? Or maybe in the future the plant room be the office and the plants be moved to the sitting room downsize the collection? Nah not into Saltburn. But looking forward to Argylle new movie great casts and with Henry Cavill aswell don’t like his new haircut though in it. Don’t worry girl no one is looking at your body parts. There are vloggers who wears less clothes too revealing which i don’t understand. I never liked showing my legs and tops that are too revealing. I only show my arms in the summer don’t like getting tanned as i get freckles so easily. I am more of an Autumn girl.

[@unplantparenthood]

archie's nursery will be shared with vince's office! we recently got him a smaller desk, and will be removing some of the old furniture in there to make space. hopefully we can make it work!!
