House Plant Tour | small family home

[@lauralynn4504]

Joy is never corny. 🌿 It’s a perfect little word to express the power of plants.

[@catwoman2able]

I love your kitchen table! Your husband is a talented guy!

[@spenglase]

I water my tropicals in the shower. It gets the dust of off the leaves and they just love the rain storm.

[@rachellep2581]

What a great idea

[@McBartz1]

Hey Susie! I love your videos! I started following you because my little girl has curly hair -the only one in the family and I needed help. Ugh I still do! Lol but I just love your personality! In the past year and a half I have also become a plant mom! They give me so much Joy! As an adult I felt like I didn’t have any hobbies or anything I ever did for myself so when I had one plant and it was doing so well it made me happy unexpectedly, so I got another, and another. Lol now I have a jungle. My tip for people starting is to get one plant and become its friend. Research it, take care of it, and make it happy and thriving...,then go for another one and do the same thing. Many people get so excited they buy all kinds and it’s overwhelming. Also when you get new plants..... quarantine them keep them separate and away from all other plants for about a month. Pests and bugs on new plants can infect your whole collection and most plants from stores can come with pests. I’m also from Nova Scotia and I joined some Facebook groups ...Nova Scotia house plants is one group. It’s a great place to show off your plants or ask questions. Tons of knowledgeable people there that love it as much as you! Also I joined a free plant cuttings trade group. The idea of it is to find people near you that have new cuttings to trade with so that you are getting pest free plants. Like you with your montsera, I really love new growth, it’s what makes me the most happy. So I’ve found i really like growing plants from small clippings so I can watch how they start so small and follow their progress! I really enjoy propagating as well. Hun if you’re ever in Halifax I will hook you up with clippings of many different plants!

[@McDermottFamily100]

PLEASE more plant videos!!!! I love everything about this! Thank you for sharing!

[@NurseJackie2582]

I’m extremely interested in these types of videos and seeing you branch out! Honestly, I just enjoy your personality and would watch whatever.

[@sav827]

Beautiful tour if your plants. They are so healthy. You really have a green thumb. Please continue keeping us updated on how your plants are doing 👍❤️

[@meredith18352]

Love the plants and your home, thanks for sharing

[@amandalehnertz7319]

I loved the plant tour and getting a peek into your home. Keep making this sort of content! 😀 🪴

[@laurensteadman1446]

Please keep making videos about your plants. I've succumbed to the same "obsession." I have more than 15, but they're all much smaller. Makes my heart happy to care for them and see them thrive.

[@melizabeth908]

Great, basic, plant information! My son gave me a spider plant when he was in Grade 2 and I still have it. I usually cut a few babies off and root them in water before planting. Plus I always keep the original plant until I make sure the new plant has taken. The reason I discard the old plant is I really don’t like spider plants but I love that my boy gave it to me 30 years ago!! He now has part of the original plant growing in his house.

[@jenniferjones9764]

That's awesome!

[@spenglase]

I've picked up so many plants in the past few years! It started with an heirloom plant my great grandparents brought with them from Hungary. I absolutely love them!

[@jayhulrs1435]

Love love love your kitchen!!

[@HisLove4You]

I totally get how well you feel having plants 🪴 We are biological creatures who aren't meant to sit in brick and mortar, under fluorescent lights 24/7 - we are PART of nature as God created and we feel wonderful surrounded by it! My husband and I have the BEST sleep when we're camping, without fail lol! I could give a million more examples but I won't, hehe. My tip is: watch out when you bring fruit into your home. A few fruit flies infected my plants of 15 years - it turned into a massive infestation! My last resort was to throw out all of my beautiful plants, and that's what I had to do. Watch for the little gnats & fruit-flies. Your home is absolutely lovely!! Thank u for sharing 🥰

[@heatherriley3963]

This is the reason why I don't want live plants inside. Which stinks because I'd love to enjoy all the benefits of having indoor plants. But I dislike having bugs inside more. 😒

[@cati101]

love your plants

[@maureenlehman139]

I collect rainwater. I’ve been using it for two years and my plants are thriving. I got into plants at beginning of Covid. It has saved me during this time. I’m up to forty or more plants😁

[@msmeow8913]

It’s always lovely to see you Susie and I enjoy watching your videos, whatever subject matter you choose. I’d love to see more videos about your house plants - they look amazingly healthy and so do you! X💕

[@donnamacdonald3254]

I loved this video! Very informative!

[@aileenfernandez7848]

this is perfect timing. I decided I need house plants. and I am currently looking to buy. and am browsing the internet for ideas.

[@melodybrown4764]

💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 I love plants! Really enjoyed hearing about yours and your simple tips!💚💚💚💚💚

[@zoekothe3457]

Susie you have a beautiful home and the plants look so healthy! I love your kitchen table too!😌

[@shelleylemmond46]

I love inside plant's! I actually have 1 pathos ivy my daughter in law got me and it's doing really well. She got me 6 outdoor plant's and their beautiful! I love plant's. Thank you for sharing. Oh, my mom would sing to her plant's and sat a radio near by and her plant's were healthy and beautiful 😀

[@KELLSEY444]

You are so flippin' cute...plants bring such a pure sense of life to our lives. I feel like I breathe better when there are plants in the room... and the garden...there is nothing like eating the food we grow ourselves. I'm with you on this healthy obsession, and I love that Wilson has his own plant to love.

[@hannahjarvis2765]

Loving the plant content 😊🌱

[@EllaDonna59]

I love plants and totally get what you mean about them. You can make more basil plants, let yours grow a bit and root in water (cuttings). You can grow scallions too. I’ve got two live juniper trees that I rescued as inch tall saplings, those two will be my holiday trees(one is four ft. Tall the other is 3 ft tall) and I’ve got another little sapling growing. I’m even growing asparagus (outside)! I could go on and on... begonias, angel wing, are perfect for inside too. 💚💚💚

[@faithreyes8797]

Yes! Love the video and tips. I love plants and nature as well.

[@lisalamotte7247]

So excited! Love you Susie!

[@naturedweller]

Beautiful plants! And they look so healthy! All of the plants you have have a special benefit.They all clean the air in your home. This is especially important in the winter months when spending a lot of time indoors. If you have any plants that don't like to sit in water or don't like to be moist all of the time, it's good to plant them in a clay pot, which are porous. Plus, the terra cotta color of those pots looks so nice with a green plant or you can paint the pots colors that you like. One tip I have for the peace lily. Fertilize it a few times each year, especially in the months before spring. Spring is the most active time for a peace lily. I noticed when I put a few plant food spikes in my peace lily, it grew more of the white flowers in the spring. This year it grew 7 or 8!

[@wendyraptureready]

Beautiful, God bless you.

[@shandaril]

I don't have a home of my own yet, but my dream is to have a jungle library cause I love plants and books. I really enjoyed this video, you're an amazing person and your plants are amazing too 😊

[@ozywomandius2290]

You have a beautiful assortment of plants! The corn plants definitely add a lot to your living room. I’m with you, plants give me joy! My most recent experiences have been with calatheas and orchids. Calatheas seem easy so far-orchids, um, not easy. 😳 but it’s all a fun learning process!

[@whitneyschmitney]

I love this. My house plans are … a bit neglected. But I’m inspired to figure out treating them better

[@sip_espresso]

I also don't know much about plants but I have a ton and I also have a Dracena!! They're so easy to take care of 😊

[@mezyfuller3234]

The plants are great indoor plants. Can’t wait to see your follow up video to see how they are going, and how many more you have accumulated!

[@linziesantana4748]

HI SUSIE. So happy to see you again, hope you and the family are well!

[@lindascull6327]

Love this TOTALLY AGREE Nature is awesome ..Mother Earth🥰

[@kristensaenz6421]

I love house plants too! I got my first house plant of my own in 7th grade. It was a variegated Swedish ivy. I loved it so much. It take my smaller plants out to the patio during the summer. They do really well. I bring in some of my potted impatiens in before the frost to overwinter inside. Sometimes they make it, sometimes not. But I love having plants around. I havent been as purposeful as you getting a beautiful variety or plants though. I love the plant on your kitchen table. I need one of those!

[@KitKatMontana]

I am interested in everything you put out. I would love to see a tour, or your reno. I love your plants, and I have over a hundred at the moment. Love your hair, your personality, and of course your accent. I have lost mine since moving to the U.S.

[@AnneRays2009]

Beautiful. I cannot help because I mostly over-water. But, they do make specialty pots for Azaleas. Apparently they like wet feet, so the pot sits in a larger pot that holds water. It is great as they water themselves, only refilling once a month! (beautiful pot you have chosen in kitchen) Keep up the great Peace making. Your friend from League City, TX Anne~

[@kat1368]

I loved your back splash. Sadly the way my house is I am only able to keep plants in one room . Most of my rooms do not have natural light or very very little. I have a aloe plant that I rescued it was only two small strands when I got it. Now it’s full and huge in a large pot. I am not a plant expert either but it made me feel really good seeing my aloe thrive. I also have a small flower garden that I love to see grow and bloom.

[@dennissems]

I am starting an herb garden outside. I can’t wait! I did get a couple of snake plants because I don’t have a green thumb and I figured I start little by little. Loved the video. Thank you for sharing.

[@TheGhastlybaker]

Such a cute quaint house with lovely plants. Excited for your journey with the plants! Always like hearing you talk in your down-to-earth way in your vids :)

[@Christina-CA]

Curly Susie!! I was actually thinking of you today because I bought the Marcelle Tinted Moisturizer you use and I LOVE it... and now here you are!!

[@SandysArtChannel]

Loved the video tour! You may want to move your Alocasia to your bathroom over the winter. They tend to really love humidity and your bathroom will naturally have more humidity. Also, the last dracaena you showed, I'm pretty sure that is actually a yucca. I find my yucca does not need water hardly at all. I believe they store quite a bit of water in their trunk. I usually check with a moisture meter and am shocked that even when the soil appears to be completely dried out, at the bottom, it's still quite moist. So a moisture meter can be your friend! :).

[@cristinad7142]

Hi Susie, I love your house and plants. One thing I learned that has really helped my plants is that your plants should see the biggest view of the sky possible from wherever they are. So if they are a lower light plant, pull them back from the window but still have them in a spot where they can have a nice view of the sky. There’s my two cents 😉

[@rpark5605]

Love the house/plant tour. I remember you saying you wanted to go back to school to do your Masters in Nursing. I would love to hear about that process. I am also considering that path right now.

[@lenny3804]

Cool video Susie thanks for sharing!

[@aditimukhopadhyay5047]

You can try hanging plants or install some invisible shelf. This is space saving and will help you to own more plants of your choice. One more thing run some humidifiers in the rooms during winter. This will help your plant from getting brown tips or crispy. I live in Massachusetts and this trick really helps to keep my plants healthy and green during winter.

[@rachellep2581]

This content was so good and relatable to me. I am also very house plants obsessed 🪴🌿 💚

[@nurserypots3274]

Hey! Fellow scotian :). I'm in Dartmouth. Glad I found you and subbed ❤

[@lynnmissen7371]

I love cyclamin they started me mine flower all the time and I have them in the kitchen

[@barbaracarbone4658]

Beautiful plants!! I know exactly what you mean about creating a jungle. I'm actually planning on how to make my shower feel like a jungle when I'm showering and taking a bath! Lol. Wouldn't that be great?!! I just love having the green life around me. ... That plant in your room we call wandering Jew. Not dude. Lol. Something taken from the bible I think. Ty for sharing. 🌴

[@Sonshinereseller]

Hello again, I was just saying how I haven’t seen you in a while. Thanks for the tips. While you were talking, I redecorated my kitchen window sill. I also have a beautiful African violet and aloe plant. Love having plants in my home too. Yours look healthier! Apparently mine need more attention. 😆

[@curlsofa2017]

I bought 6 plants at IKEA a couple of months ago before selling our house, to make it look nice in the realtor’s pictures and for viewings. I love them and want more for my new flat! I find it difficult to choose plants though, I have a cat that likes to chew on plants, so each plant I buy has to be researched in advance to make sure it’s not poisonous. I would love a video recommending pet safe plants! Love the new kitchen! A video about the renovation would be fun!

[@sarahjohnson9026]

I got a cheap humidifier for my calatheas because they like humidity. I plan on running it more in the winter because I also live in a cold dry area and I have collected about 20 plants this year. My favorites are pothos and philodendrons. I would like to have vines everywhere.

[@andreaizumoto9180]

I want more plants in my house too but I don’t have good places to put them. I have managed to keep my little succulents alive though! I love your idea of a living wall in your bedroom.

[@betha5539]

I believe you use tap water for plants if you fill the water can and let the water sit for a day or 2 before using it to water the plants.

[@kimberlyrempelsmith6671]

Susie, I absolutely loved this! I'm just starting to get into houseplants, and I look forward to seeing more plant content in the future. Would be interested to hear how you deal with getting your plants enough light through the winter

[@southernarkansasgardener3983]

I LOVE your plants! I have been sub'd here since 14k subs (maybe) and for the hair videos, which I love too. I am no longer trying to coax my hair into being wavy/curly, but I have picked up plants/gardening too! I don't actually have any house plants, but I've been growing in 6 raised beds outside along with a new inground space this year. I would love to nerd out over plants with you! Thank you for sharing! 🌻❤

[@slong7914]

Basil is crazy easy to propagate. Just cut off a piece from the top and stick it in the dirt.

[@claudiava7210]

Soooo great that you are back. I really love your videos and vlogs! I wish I could have more plants in my home. But my two cat ladys loves to bite in the leaves. 😣 So I have just 5 plants (plus a small sweet pepper from my garden I took into the house because outside its too cold). Some ideas?

[@jennywellman3025]

I also love plants. Orchids are perfect (I have 7) the don’t want direct sunlight 💕 I also have 4 Aloe vera plants and hanging plants called lipstick plants and a Monstera 🥰 And some others I don’t know the name of 🙈

[@mummycool1]

Cheese plants can get really big & may benefit from staking later & mint is very invasive & best planted in its own pot.

[@torigillispie9823]

Love your home. Me and my husband a year ago relocated and retired to Arizona. We went from a 1,800 square home to a 1,200 square home and I love it. Its cozier. What kind of fertilizer do you use every month. I dont have a green thumb. I have 2 plants and I try real hard not to kill them. Maybe fertilizer is the answer. Your home is adorable 🏠

[@pennycoleman6178]

They changed the ingredients in the bioterra gel did you know that? Glycerine which makes my hair frizzy is now listed in the very beginning and there are way more ingredients in there now! It has changed! I’m happy you found some peace and healing in your plants.

[@carolinefreak]

The inch plant is a tradescantia, which is a family of plants with tons of variety! The "comon" names for this plant are a hotly debated topic with plant enthusiasts as one has a negative connotation, so most of us stick with it's botanical name (tradescantia). Welcome to the crazy world of indoor plants!

[@stitchlightly5995]

I recently learned that pothos leaves will get those tiny bits of yellow when they have too much sunlight. Wandering Dude was originally named Wandering Jew, but has been changed for obvious reasons.... I water all my plants with collected rainwater, which my father taught me, and my plants LOVE it! I'm so excited to see more plant videos!!! Good luck with the rosemary, as my father and I have found it difficult to keep alive indoors. Your plants are so lovely!! What do you use to fertilize them?

[@christikendrick4943]

I have one of the purple plants. It's called a Wandering Jew. It's one of about 2 plants I can keep alive. I love plants, but I'm not good at keeping them

[@amyd4444]

I seem to kill everything- when i come home with a new plant to try, my husband jokes “so youve brought another one to its death.” Plus we have indoor cats that chew on everything! So i have a money tree from home depot on stilts and my daughter bought me a lipstick plant that i hung up high. I killed the lipstick plant, but repurchased 3times now as i just loved it. The last one is doing ok, but i know that eventually i will have repot both the money tree and the lipstick plant. Have you had to repot any yet and if so, can you do a video on that please? Sincerely, killer thumb 😂

[@KitKatMontana]

I believe that larger dragon tree is a Dracena Marginata.

[@jeannerose9238]

Yes, the one in the back to the right of the fireplace is a Dracaena Marginata.

[@lisalamotte7247]

I was always told it was a wandering jew. 🤷‍♀️

[@erdalestay7917]

What do you use as your fertilizer? I've gotten into house plants too during the pandemic. I love this video! Keep them coming

[@catherineflores7106]

How do you keep both the plants and your children alive? Lol I would love to have plants, but I don’t think I could do both.

[@dianchiasson5621]

Hi there, I’m from New Waterford…where did you get your fish bone cactus? I’ve never seen one before and would like to try it.

[@CurlySusie]

Hey Dian! I got mine at Walmart but I’ve also seen them in Sobeys!

[@dianchiasson5621]

@@CurlySusie Great thanks! The plant selection must be better at the Sydney Sobeys than the one in NW haha

[@CurlySusie]

I got my Monstera in the North Sydney Sobeys 😂

[@dianchiasson5621]

FYI I like the short hair. I don’t have the jaw line for it but I wish I did. I’ve been cutting my own hair since way before the pandemic. I’ve been doing the pigtail method by Manes by Mel. Works really well.

[@eve-1]

Wandering Dude? It’s always been called Wandering Jew. I don’t find that offensive and I’m Jewish.

[@CurlySusie]

I think perhaps people call it that in fear of being offensive. Thank you Eve :)

[@spenglase]

Tradescantia zebrina. In my Jewish home we've always called it a wandering Jew as well. I respect the sentiment, so we stopped.

[@lisalamotte7247]

I think it was replaced with Wandering dude to be more politically correct I guess.

[@HisLove4You]

Exactly.

[@CurlySusie]

Probably right!

[@yelesomeus4534]

I thought you were leaving you tube.

[@kimleeming6668]

Wandering Jew or “dude” = Tradescantia Zebrina
