[@RistrettoReader]

I miss my snake plant. I got it as a gift when I was promoted and I kept it for about 7 years. It never gave up on me even when I would neglect him for a month or more. Barely any sunlight. He grew and grew and I loved him. Then it froze in Texas and we lost power and the cold killed him. So sad. I had that plant as long as I’ve had some pets.

[@hthumbs4072]

I so sorry to hear that! I hope you're able to get another lovely snake plant!

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

I know, I really have a connection to my plants! I am more of a outside gardener, but I have indoor plants 20 years old!

[@ct5625]

Some plants suffer considerable shock when repotting, but it doesn't mean they're dead. I cut back the struggling stems to allow it to save energy, give it good water (rain water usually) and a little food, good light, and they bounce back once they're over the shock of repotting.

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

Absolutely, plants are amazingly tough, they will go dormant to repair, so yeah don’t give up!

[@jamieashby7940]

Reading the comments on here makes me so happy so many Dink fam memories. It's nice to know the community still remembers the fun times we would have every Wednesday / thursday before Jenna retired

[@shelbyfawn1337]

this was just what I needed. I feel like I’m only a quiet background part of the dink fam and I can so rarely make streams, but getting vods on youtube means so much ❤️

[@cece_marie]

This was just the stream that was needed, thank you. So nice for Debbie to be there, I felt uplifted by her playful sweetness. Watched live and watched again for the comfort - loved the plant care, scindapsus are so great about letting you know when they need water.

Julien gets watered. Cermet nods sagely.

[@Cuthaleon91]

You watered your plants, but what about your cermet, you have to water your cermet, it will help him grow

[@JNMKlover]

That's a good reminder.

[@symptomoftheuniverse4149]

Cermet has done grown up.

[@SidRenReyn]

I just know the air in their house is CRISP

[@Noctua17]

the best way to water plants imo, I take all 60 of my philodendrons in the shower once a month, great for cleaning the dust off as well as give em a good water. The humidity helps get those stubborn new leaves unstuck too. Its a very therapeutic 2 hours of my day lmao

[@mmwoodcockart]

Snake plants also known as Mother-in-Law's Tongue are wonderful! I have one that was repotted from a snake plant that was my great grandparents. This plant survived 2 years without light or water when a relatvie died, and their home had not been sorted/gone through. I also had one full leaf die (I think I drowned it?). The leaf's insides turned liquid. It was like holding a translucent plastic bag of water- most bizarre plant experience lol

[@Wendybird1121]

Julien I don't know if you'll see this but I have a 20 year old umbrella plant! It's been with me through highschool and college graduation, losing my father and grandparents, two house moves, a few boyfriends before I found my husband, and numerous other life milestones. It was gifted to me as a joke when I worked for Lowes in highschool by a regular customer who bought all the dormant plants we had marked down. I didn't think it would make it but here we are! I've given away 5 cuttings off of it and they are all doing great. If you ever want another one just let me know and you can a piece of my old beast! I'd love for him to sprout as many babies as he can!

[@z6886]

My mother used to take the plants to the shower and water them there as well or if it was a nice day outside we carry all the plants to the patio and water them out there and let them have a little bit of sunshine with their water.

[@mxvickispeak]

Just came in to see this after planting a Juniper and a Hens and Chicks in the yard, and potting 3 others. A nice cool down with my iced cappuccino.

[@dearbronte686]

Distractable Pisces plant mums love the self watering pots where there's a whole reservoir in the bottom of the pot. They don't leak & make it so easy to water. Like once a month. 😂 💖🌸

[@sunnybun7656]

As someone who's brought an adansonii back from the dead, they're a pain in the ass. She hates being moved, likes to try and die off every winter, constantly had something wrong for about a year... She's now my second largest plant, she would be the largest, but she didn't come back as well from this past winter. Hoping a repot and more consistent care will bring her back to her former glory...

[@xiomaramirnarodezno7754]

Treat your Swiss cheese plants like Pothos, I have mine in the bathroom gets very humid and it’s putting out tons of growth! They’re beautiful plants I wish you well Julen 🤘🏾

[@momokostrong9976]

I remember when Jenna invited us on the plant tour and Julen looking bored (I could be wrong), and now look at him and his planty babies!

[@frankiemillcarek6976]

I think it was more "this is insanity but go off" energy.

[@Stina85]

My monstera adansonii liked being water propagated, and did really well. When I transferred them to soil, I made sure they had been making roots in the water jar for at least two months or so. I live in 7b/8a, so our humidity is pretty high here in the air, even somewhat indoors. Maybe the adansonii needs more humidity and the wall was not providing enough of the right environment. ❤️

I love watering my plant in the shower. They love showering together.

[@unnameableuser_]

fun fact: plants prefer direct water being sprayed on top as it mimics raining, which makes them happier.

It depends for the plant not all plants can be water from the top and some recommend bottom watering

@@katelynspencer8392 did u get ur $ back? I got ripped off for my Cashback from a cashier. Went back and said u never gave me my money. Denies it. Ask for him to look at the video, says I'm the manager and I don't have time. Emailed their HQ. It's not about the money so much, it's wrong. If he does that a few times per shift, that's serious theft. I mean ANY theft is not okay.

[@phoebehiscock2988]

Julian! Don’t mean to scare you but your Albo has yellowing and browning leaves around the edges which is a sign of thrips 😔 I had this with mine and I didn’t even see any thrip bugs but when I looked closer it had thrip larvae! Just thought I’d let you know although I’m sure you’re constantly checking it!! Possibly a reason why it’s not putting out new growth

[@phoebehiscock2988]

@@finyafuxfell3031 So yellowing can be other things too such as inconsistent watering or under watering. But in particular the yellowing around the edges is a good indicator that the plant may have bugs. Just a good hose down and bug spray should do it well! I’m sure it’ll be fine, Good luck 🥰

[@emilylobb6630]

Julien - for your adansonii you need a breathable soil mix. Try a formula of potting mix, sphagnum moss, chunky perlite, charcoal, coco husk, and maybe slow release fertilizer.

[@xratedattraction]

It's so funny I water all my plants in the shower too. Everyone always thought I was weird for it lol 😆

[@ArthurGrey.]

I'm sure you know by now Julen, but Adansonii are super thirsty! The one you showed can/could have 100% be brought back, just have to keep up on the water. Mine was super full and had leaves the size of my hand when I got it. Lost all but like 3-4 leaves. 😭 I watered more often and it took off, putting out leaves every week!

Please tell me what you use for fungus gnats and spider mites..how are your plants so healthy and chill?? Mine are always trying to die. Like my tradescantia zebrina is just always wet. I just got a terracotta pot and a more dry soil so hopefully that will help. But i just out both my croton and banana croton have spider mites and my tradescantia and watermelon pepperomia have fungus gnats. Its always something. But I love them and I want them to thrive

[@50ulEat3r]

Try bottom watering your moist plant, basically you put the pot in a deep dish of water filled enough to reach approx where the root system is, leave it for 10-30 mins (google it) then take it out leavw it in sink or shower for an hour to finish dripping

[@sierradickinson760]

@@50ulEat3r thank you!! I actually just put them all in the tub and bottom watered last time but I think that one specifically wasnt fully dried out yet.

[@quinnhindley9512]

Mosquito bits! If you have problems with fungus gnats, mix mosquito bits in the soil (or sprinkle on top next time you water) and it takes care of the eggs and larvae. Get yellow sticky traps for the adults.

[@sierradickinson760]

@@quinnhindley9512 where did you get your mosquito bits? Amazon? I looked today at walmarts garden center and didnt find any. I got a different organic insecticide to try. I might just completely replace the soil and treat them with the spray while im waiting for the mosquito bits if I have to order them.

[@meeples7599]

For fungus gnats, the only thing that worked for me when I used an entire bag of soil that was contaminated with them was sticky sheets sitting on top of the soil to trap them before they could breed. For spider mites, you can spray them off in the shower and then use neem oil on the leaves.
