a fresh start to the new year 🪴 2025 plant goals, supplies haul & more

[@emmarantaceae]

Yours and Claire's long planty videos for the New Year have made my first day back at work so much better! Love just listening to you 💚

Vinegar and water (equal parts) sat on those rings for a few minutes should remove them with a bit of scrubbing

[@GoodGrowing]

Ooh thanks for the tip!

[@ClaireSiconolfi]

If that’s ’not enough’, you can add a little baking soda to make it for fizz and scrub.

[@VictoriaPL]

When you were speaking of your goals you said I want to keep my collection “happy and healthy” and my IMMEDIATE thought was “that's Claire's line!” 😂😂😂 Happy New Year!

[@GoodGrowing]

hehe! great minds 😜

[@GerGray-i2t]

Happy New Year Emma, may 2025 bring you everything you wish for. Brilliant video so informative! X

[@Sablesmom1]

You might also consider mat or wick watering tray for your smaller plants. Will save you tons of time.

[@lavenderminty]

Thank you for this amazing video! Perfect for the new year to kick my inspiration up a notch 😁 I'm so happy you finally got the items and that you're excited for them 😊💚 Also when it comes to the front opening moss poles from Plantscraper, they seem to come in four different sizes at the moment 😊

[@GoodGrowing]

I can't thank you enough for helping me get them! And yeah I saw that on the site, I feel like I would have bought the biggest I could? they seem like 60cm tall? but maybe I got one size down 🤷‍♀️ might have to put in another order 🙃

Loving these plant monthly refresh videos which Wildfern makes aswell. I think they’re great and also very reproductive. I had some casualties with my plants this winter which i always dread. I have lost my Hoya Carnosa Flamingo, Quinquenervia, Crassipetiolata Splash and a succulent. I am curious what plants be popular in 2025. I feel 2024 such a big hype in Anthuriums. I think 2025 i be focusing more on what plants i have and if i come across wishlist plants i will get them but not focusing in finding them.

[@GoodGrowing]

I'm also very curious about what will be popular! I agree 2024 was all about anthuriums for most people. I don't necessarily think that'll stop anytime soon though 🤷‍♀️ focusing on the collection you've got is the best goal imo!

[@CathyHoule]

a cloth soaked in warm vinegar should lift the stains

[@GoodGrowing]

Ooh will have to give that a go! Thanks!

[@CathyHoule]

@@GoodGrowing It will take about 45 mins for the vinegar smell to evaporate

Happy New Year 🎉😊❤

[@saskiadeclercq6308]

Happy New Year Emma! 🎉 I've gotten the "octopus" things for my Alocasia as well, from Plantscraper too. I noticed the rubber rings on them too, handy! I got some dragonfly clips as well, way too cute 😊 Greetings from Belgium 😘

[@vallerymartin2474]

I like your vlogs they’re so interesting and fun 😊

[@GoodGrowing]

Naw thanks!

[@SerenaAngel-n3z]

Awesome ❤

[@positivemind5163]

GREAT 😊😊 R U OK?

[@plantymom]

I don't think I've ever been this early to a video! :D

[@GoodGrowing]

Haha I don’t think I’ve ever been this late uploading 🙃

[@natjoy22]

I have been having a battle with mealies popping up. And today I think I may have found one of the problem plants. But when I noticed them, I did the "I'll deal with it later" thing. So, tomorrow I will deal. And several plants may be getting tossed. I did make a plant order for my Birthday, so I need to make room! And I have also been TERRIBLE with my props. Several are over 2 years old.

[@GoodGrowing]

Oh no! At least you’ve hopefully found the culprit! I feel like one day of procrastination is totally fine! You got this!

[@natjoy22]

@@GoodGrowing It's only been one day for THAT plant...but not others! LOL! 🤷‍♀

[@IngedeBeer-o9w]

Yay❤

[@kathyduck1356]

white vinegar will take off the hard water stains

[@lukeperry19]

I wish we could get front opening moss poles In the uk

[@GoodGrowing]

same!! Idk why no one's making them! wouldn't it be just as easy to laser cut as the honeycomb ones??

[@lukeperry19]

@ I’d imagine it was quicker to cut with a laser than the honeycomb ones. Less holes to cut out. Maybe people just don’t realise there is market for them here. Hopefully they start making them here this year

[@xxSimpleCxx]

I’ve always wondered, when you water in place, how do you know how much water to add so it doesnt sit in it but also gets enough? I know you have way too many plants to go around and empty all the excess from the pots 😅

[@GoodGrowing]

honestly I think it's just years of practice at this point 😅 and there's defo times I water too much and things sit for a bit but I'll remove that when I see it 🤷‍♀️

[@DieDieEla]

Do you have these little clear plastic hairbands? Couldnt you just use one of them on your octopus Ssakes without the rubberband to stop this thing from moving?

[@lynnhathaway7067]

Where did you get that pot?

[@GoodGrowing]

It’s from ikea (linked in the description) but I don’t think they have it in ikea US

Ive been curious about where your originlly from and when you moved to england, do you notice that you have an english accent sometimes? i think its cute! i would love to live in england. I also notice that when you speed up your videos you move your mouth around, do you have a bad habit of chewing your cheeks like i do? you seem a bit neurodivergant and i think thats a sign. I do it so bad sometimes that my cheeks will be sore. Love your videos btw!! love your fashion style to! where do you get your jewelery??

[@GoodGrowing]

I grew up in California but live in the UK now. I’m also half British so the accent kind of does whatever it wants. And yeah I do chew my cheeks 🙃 defo some sort of drum but it’s fully unconscious. And thanks!! I’ve really been loving getting more into my alt style this last year. Most of my rings are from chrome cult, necklaces from vicious punx and bohomoon and some other small brands. I feel like you’d like my vlog channel (@emma.keeps.growing), cuz I chat way more about that stuff on there 🥰
