I live in Singapore in a place that is flooded with beautiful light……and I’ve made it a mission that my home is going to look like my home in Australia in the 70’s and 80’s. my 3 boys just laugh at me now…..1 plant and maybe some food to eat after every grocery run❤😂😂😂

[@misstweetypie1]

I only have small houseplants, and I love sticking them in the shower every once in a while to give them a “rain” shower, and clean the leaves :) only works with pots that have holes in the bottom, though.

[@katieociardha2196]

I pray your channel has a resurgence of love from KZbin 💕 loving these old style videos again with Stu chatting behind the camera!

[@theelliotthomestead]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@karenstairs8273]

I got my love of house plants from my Grandma Bornstein! I even have her house plant table! I have many more than what fits on the table but it reminds me of who I got my green thumb from. It's my tribute to Grandma. I have been using a water mixture that has been in a jar with banana peels (peels in the jar with water for a few days). My plants seem to like it. I have plants in every room in my home. It makes me happy when I enter each room!

[@Beyondjustjen-mw7gt]

You are not artificial! You are genuine! That is why you like real plants! I am so happy to see you posted this video. I saw you had a bunch of shorts up and I thought oh no! Not Elliott Homestead, too! Seems like everyone is doing shorts nowadays. I understand the point of doing that but I have enjoyed your channel for so long that I would grieve if you stop making long videos! They are all so beautiful! 🥰

[@sheilafae]

Interesting perspective on real versus artificial flowers and plants. I feel the same but couldn’t really define why until you said it. Nothing makes me sadder than fake plants. I also prefer a real tree at Christmas and real flowers at weddings.

[@meganinthemountains]

Snake plant throws up gorgeous white flowers that smell amazing in spring if you don't water it most of winter

[@beccam507]

I liked it very much when you said multiple times "this plant will be so happy".... Plants kinda have feelings too. I think we're kindred spirits when it comes to appreciating plants 😊

[@meganinthemountains]

Just like how we have to move the furniture around to be able to "see it", silk plants quickly mentally move into not being able to be seen because they are so stagnant.

[@aevisia]

I love your videos :) they're so cozy! Video request: Would love to see a cleaning video and the kinds of products you use around the house for cleaning and your recommendations!

I just love all of your philosophical thoughts about your home and space and what it means to be a homemaker. Thank you for sharing about the care of houseplants. And you can absolutely propagate that monstera in water!

[@ja-uh9gz]

Your houseplants are beautiful and look healthy! That really nice monstera (swiss cheese plant) leaf that you cut off...just stick it in water. It will root. Those large leafed plants look great in a clear vase in water...a leaf or two.

[@kathyforgues6994]

I was bit by the love of house plants about 8 years ago. It started with an inexpensive one from Aldi’s, my first mother in laws tongue. One of my favorite ways to get new plants is to check out the clearance plants at Lowes😊 I just bought a few new plants at the beginning of March and refreshed some other plants. Always feels so good to do this. I believe we’re a little healthier because of all the plants we have😊

[@theelliotthomestead]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@nikkid1038]

Yes!!! You can literally cut of the leaves above the nodes and stick them right into a small pot of soil. Keep moist until roots. I’ve sold TONS of these this way. They’re gorgeous even w one leaf in pot !

I loved this one! (I love all your content.) Right down to the little plant in your name at the end. ;) I’ve been filling my home with little green buddies with the same thoughts of ‘should I be adding to my workload…but….they make me happy’ and so chuckled when this episode came up. Thanks again.

Love all the house plants. We built an addition to our house with a 4 season room. The lighting is amazing. The plants love it. This reminded me of that.

[@charlesbale8376]

[@stephaniedavis7033]

yes, 100% about the spiders! same with the snakes in my garden ( I always wear my boots), I announce myself by stomping as I come thru the gate "I am here, either hide or leave" so we can get along and nobody gets scared.

[@theelliotthomestead]

I love that!

[@lynbsker1968]

My house plants give me joy, lots of windows also, my palm tree recently flowered, coconut maybe, the smell was awful. We couldnt figuree out what it was for a few days😂. I could smell floral my husband thought urine. But i have a beautiful 6 ft norfolk pine... here in northern BC. I use stinging nettle water for fertilizer 6 months of the yr

[@catherinedanslalune8642]

Who saw that spider crawl over the rim of that pot at 12:34? 😳🤣

[@lindag4484]

But is the silk or plastic plant really cleaner? Maybe while it is in a house, but once it is discarded, it pollutes, big time. I opt for the living plant with its imperfections, its occasional dead leaves, and the hassle of watering and fertilizing. It lives, it 'breathes', adding oxygen to my stagnant, winter indoors. Great video!

[@pamelawolfe3844]

Love all your plants. Im a plant lady too.💚

I have a combonation of faux and real (depending on the light situation in each room). I have totally reawakened my love for real, old-fashioned, big leaf houseplants, I also use leaf shine on the beautiful leafs. There is a place for both, IMO. Great video, guys. I love when you both are working closely together. ❤

Watch Laura at Garden Answer, she recommends not putting rocks under the soil.

[@juliecarns]

Growing houseplants is not my forte so I bring my geraniums in before the first frost and enjoy them all winter; most of them have lived this winter. 😊 Spritzing them with a light mist seems to help a lot. 🌺

[@kimpike4362]

I, too, am a gardener. Indoor houseplants, as long as I can provide light & humidity requirements, allow me proximity to another part of the world.

Have you ever had fungas nats on your plants. I unfortunately recently found it in a few plants. Small tiny black flies everywhere. I kill so many house plants, think I over water.

[@theelliotthomestead]

Gnats are usually only a problem if your plants are water-logged or being watered too much in general! Pull back a bit on water, cover the top of the soil with permiculite which helps absorb extra moisture, and that should help!

[@mariemcdermott7363]

You literally cannot hurt them unless you leave them sitting in stagnant water and they rot. They are tough as old bricks. They'll certainly like nice soil and care, but they're very tough and do thrive on no fuss.
