Morning Amanda 😊 I love to see creative people, forget about aesthetics because it's expensive lol 🤞😂

[@BotanicalBrunette]

👏😊 sometimes it’s better that way

[@michaeld1726]

Amanda: Another thought provoking video! 😊 I also reuse, separate, and even enrich soil for repotting purposes. Rainwater is awesome. Quick one: I actually saw a monstera albo and Thai constellation in person! Much more impressive in real life than in photographs! I'm glad you own these plants. Aloha.🪴

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Love to hear that! Always good to reuse what you can! 👏 they’re SO MUCH more magical in person. 😊✨🌿

[@lisaanglim9588]

This is a great video. I try to be sustainable and you e given me more ideas.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Thanks Lisa! Glad to hear it! 😊👏🌿

[@jennifer_loves_8766]

I buy 32 gal garbage containers at Walmart and use it to collect rain water. I also saved paint buckets and reuse them for rain water catching and storing.... i also rescue plant in my neighborhood on yard waste and sometimes garbage day... maybe 50 percent of my plant are rescues/free.....I also get a lot of planters/nusery pots that way too

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Aw that makes me so happy! So sweet you gave those plants a new home and a second chance! 👏 I also love the garbage can idea, you must collect a lot of water 😊🌿

[@Janellesdesigns]

I love your tips 🪴💛 I’m definitely going to be using my old candle holders and containers 💛

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Yay! I love that! 👏 I’ve even started to see companies specifically making their candle jars to use for plants. 😊🌿

[@carolstuff]

Nice tips! I use bleach 10% to 90% water. I let it soak for an hour, then I rinse repeatedly until there’s no more bleach smell; it works for me. Thanks for sharing.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Oh yeah?! That’s great 👏😊🌿

[@GiangNguyen-jd5yl]

Thank you for helping tips

[@BotanicalBrunette]

Absolutely 🫶😊🌿

[@soniarodriguez4971]

[@BotanicalBrunette]

👏👏 love it!

[@lisaanglim9588]

I’ve heard the baking method but for an hour.

[@lisaanglim9588]

I’ve heard of poachers doing that to some current “hot” plants.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

It’s pretty sad..

[@emmalecroy274]

I bake my soil. It works, but it does make the house smell.

[@jennifer_loves_8766]

Where in Florida do they usually have plant swap, i would like to attend but never heard of any.

[@BotanicalBrunette]

They have one that I know of often at Propagate social house in Apopka. There’s also a few they do a year at Perfect Choice nursery.
