You've gotta do an aquarium room just so you can have people over and be like "And here are my De La tanks..."

[@oliviabeckwith7846]

This is such a fun topic! I got into aquariums before houseplants, but I love how much they parallel. You can use an established tank as a propagation container, water plants with aquarium water, and get super nitty-gritty into collecting aquatic plants too! Tanks and plants look so good together.

[@TheCanopyCorner]

I absolutely love this idea, I plan on one day having an aquarium and using it to help my plants while it looks super cute 🥰

[@sojinnn]

Hi Becca. Just wanted to comment and say that I got my first fittonia today. I finally saw one in person at the store and went, oh so this is why Becca loves them so much. The leaves are so stunning in person ♥️

[@judymckerrow6720]

I have a water lily blooming in my above the ground pond. It actually was a water trough for the sheep but the sheep are gone so I made into a water garden. 💐💚🙃

[@ashleyjohnston4369]

I have 2 snakes, 12 tarantulas, and 3 true spiders (2 jumpers and 1 velvet). Oh, and some isopods and springtails. I love how I can use similar things in the enclosures that I use for my plant hobby. And they look so good in my plant/pet room together.

[@sarah9314]

I love having live plants and props in our fish tanks and betta tanks. Definitely easy and so fun

[@murphdawgswizzle]

becca! i've been watching you for years and i've gotten really into learning about permaculture recently! i think you would love the concept. it can have zero carbon footprint (while commercial gardening cant) and it basically involves having a completely self sufficient, native food forest. it seems right up your alley. it's incredible for pollinators and local wildlife as well!

[@ashstafford7521]

I loved keeping bettas in planted tanks! It’s definitely a little expensive to start but is so fun once you have a stable set up

[@Brittany_B]

I'm SUCH a creator/crafter! I love making things! I have a laser (which I've started my own business with...still in the early phases but business has started to grow, yay). I make wooden, hand-painted earrings, trellises, plant tags, and other things. I also crochet and have made some plant hangers and plant pot cozies (classic for throughout the year as well as seasonal cozies to spice things up for the holidays). I also have a huge (I think 60 gallon) terrarium that I absolutely love! I don't have any living things in it...although I love the occasional spider who spins a web in it 🕷🕸 My husband and I rescued it and several other tanks from the trash, so it was FREE...and I used one of the others as a brooder for my chicks last year 🥰😁

[@hithere2468]

This isn't houseplant adjacent, but I've gotten into growing houseplants from seed. I've had more trouble with seedlings than I've had with germination, but I'm going to keep trying! I'm also a writer and I enjoy sticking plants into the narrative wherever I can.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That is so fun!!! Where do you get your seeds? I’ve had great luck with plant flix

[@TheCanopyCorner]

This is something I want to get into, but it’s finding the seeds I find hard here in England x

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

Hobbies ? Yes please by the dozen✨ Creating things Is so fun and rewarding 👋💚🌿🌵🍀💚

[@dontcallmepeaches596]

Love the public library shout out ❤️❤️

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I love my library!!

[@natjoy22]

This is why I crochet plants!

[@friend_of_fish]

Awesome video with great content. I am a Newby to the indoor plant hobby, but I am a fresh water fish keeper/Aquarist. I have been using terrestrial plants in my aquariums for a while now and I believe that was the seed that got me into this hobby. I just purchased your Houseplants For Beginners book and this is my first video of yours! Look forward to your content.

[@Planty-Mandy]

My husband was binge watching Home Improvement recently. I mentioned how I want to be Wilson when I grow up, with all his vast knowledge and hobbies. He was like “You already are Wilson!” 😂 Sounds good to me! Always keep learning and growing!

[@kimsplants]

My girlfriend has a aquarium with fish and I found out they don’t ‘have feelings’. After one of them died I felt sooo bad for the ones left behind. 😅 But apparently they don’t feel anything about it lol. So don’t feel bad for them! But do take care of them well ofcourse haha 🌞 Great video! I’m very much into embroidery, I embroider tote bags with a planty print. And I like to clay pots with airdry clay.

[@Lisanaaaa]

So many fun things to do in this life 😂 I fell in love with gardening too in the last years, this year I am trying flowers for the first time from seed, it’s going well so far. I would love to build a beautiful vegetable garden like yours but we rent now and that would be a waste 😉 hopefully one day when we are able to afford a property. Also massive thanks to the spider warning, I had a feeling when you entered the terrarium hobby section 😬

[@laurenjohnson5880]

Support your local library! It's amazing what you can gain access to through them.

[@ninaaungst7705]

Fellow hobby collector with many of the same hobbies as you! I have a small nano aquarium I’m about to re scape and then get some shrimp and a snail for it!

[@clairepook2703]

I do macrame sewing and gardening and shopping for thrifted plant vessels and using them creatively 😜

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That is so fun!!

[@CodyAF333voluntaryist]

I have a pottery wheel and I'd use it more if I had access to a kiln that wasn't 30-45 minutes away.

[@amurphy8278]

I paint tiny houses and other decorations... to go in my terrariums and fairy gardens... I just need to put them in, I swear. LOL

[@ninasuculentasymas]

Interesting video but Im already busy with 200+ plants. Enjoy!! 🙋🏼‍♀️🪴

[@teresaortiz9902]

House plant collecting, landscape gardening, sewing, crocheting, latch hooking, macrame making and wood working are some of my many hobbies. In one way or another they can all be related back to plants. I also love to go hiking and biking out in our nearby nature trails. These hobbies are also plant related in that I see so many trees, bushes, plants and even weeds that have beautiful structure, leaves or flowers. 🪴🌱🌳💚

[@amandaa3376]

I want some sort of terrarium set up!

[@adriac21]

I love that u have multiple hobbies. I thought I was weird for having so many. But I enjoy doing so many things. I crochet, knit, sew, wiring, epoxy design, cross stitch & now plants… I’m loving this journey… I do want to do pottery. Love ur ideas I did have a fish (betta fish) tank with aquarium plants was good. Love the 3d idea too.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That is so so fun!! Love that you have so many hobbies :)

[@sarah9314]

I totally agree and love outdoor gardening, and we have 3 live tanks now. I would love to get back into pottery making it’s probably been 15 years since i threw. Another couple hobbies that has developed for me has been thrifting vintage pottery and planty things like furniture and wall hangings and painting with acrylics. Its so fun to zone out and paint outdoor scapes and flowers all that. Im obsessed with koi ponds! I need one winter in wi makes outdoor koi ponds more tricky and more costly

[@Planty-Mandy]

Live plants are super beneficial to aquariums. They absorb the waste by-products (ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) to keep the water cleaner. Also for reptiles, having a bio-active enclosure with plants and isopods means less cleaning required.

[@michellecastro2475]

I've always wanted to do pottery. My daughter wants to do air clay. I'm thinking we can do this together. And fish. It's so fun to have fish and it's relaxing just watching them. Those are the 2 to start with. Then crocheting. Any advice for the air dry clay, brand, etc.

[@Planty-Mandy]

I haven’t done it yet, but if you want anything to be waterproof (like pots), it seems like polymer clay is the way to go. It needs to be baked but that’s easy to do at home.

[@michellecastro2475]

@@Planty-Mandy ty. I was wondering about that. Do you know what temp and for how long??

[@Planty-Mandy]

@@michellecastro2475 google says 275F for 30 minutes per 1/4 inch thickness.

[@terrizimmerman5297]

We have used live aquarium plants on many occasions but rarely had success.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Darn!!

[@__JillSt.Clair__]

If I'm honest, my main hobby is taking up new hobbies. 🤣 I try something for a while and then on to the next hobby.😂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hahaha yesss!!! Love that

[@TheCanopyCorner]

This is me, I get obsessed until my next obsession 😂

[@totalvamp792]

My oldest daughter has 2 jumping spiders.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That is so fun!

Becca honey you look about 15 years old with your new hair cut. Maybe 16. It’s very cute on you. 💐💚🙃
