Late Night Plant Chores 🌙 Repot Propagate and Chat 🌿

[@sandiesorchids9387]

Caring for my plants help with my anxiety and know that I'm getting a greenhouse I will be able to go out to my greenhouse and take care of my plants whenever I feel like it.

[@codielane]

These long, chatty, repots are my favorite kind! Love it!

[@SimonDambro]

This is pure mindfulness - She's an absolute gem! 💚

[@meredithdavis5167]

This was adorable! You kept me company through watering, repotting, and even opening plant mail - succulents! Possible frost damaged... But I'll deal with that! I would never have guessed you have anxiety, what with having studied theater and being on social media..! It's a tough emotion to manage at times but, as you said, accepting it as part of yourself and being honest about it with the world makes a huge difference. I try not to think of "shoulds" when I'm anxious - and even when I'm not. I reframe it as a want rather than a should. And sometimes it's a need and I may not be up to it! But there's a pressure that comes with "should" that's anxiety-inducing in itself. That's my experience, anyway! And I'm looking forward to trying passion flower tea! I know this is a blast from the past video, but I wanted to thank you for it. BTW, I'm Hufflepuff too. 😅

[@kayrobinson64]

I loved this video, it's like sitting with a friend. And you make me laugh, best wishes. 👌

[@TheJungleHaven]

Naww, thank you 🥰💚

[@Misstashe]

Loved this video. I can relate so much when it comes to feeling overwhelmed and anxious about plant care. There are days where I think what have I done having so many but then other days I love spending time taking care of them and watching them grow 😊

[@TheJungleHaven]

I FEEEEL you! It's such a blessing 90% of the time, and a curse when you're not feeling it. The good definitely outweighs the bad though 🥰

[@vickiandKi]

Love the video. You are one of the few that provide us with long videos, which at least for me, it awesome!

[@cassburlington5678]

You have definitely done the right thing. Love that plant.

[@heathersink2339]

This was a helpful video, I repotted my pothos, but the roots looked like a brain! I had no idea how to split, separate the roots or cut the roots...I watched the entire video ;) and just enjoyed the whole of it! Thank you for your time and passion.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Aww thank you so much Heather! I love zoning out to planty content whilst I'm repotting, so I'm really glad you got your pothos repotted at the same time. Pothos roots can be CRAZY! Hope it's doing well now 💚

[@taeganrichards7770]

I always put one type of plant per pot indoors but my outdoor plants are always a mish mash of different plants in a pot 😅

[@TheJungleHaven]

Yeah I don't mind it outdoors as much, not sure what it is about it indoors that freaks me out 😂

[@Carey.S75]

You're right about plant care helping with anxiety, for me it keeps me grounded and in the moment. I haven't tried passionflower tea so will give that a try although I find Melissa tea helps greatly with anxiety. I love these repot and chats 💚

[@TheJungleHaven]

I totally agree! Ooooh I'll definitely give that a try, thank you 💚

[@avamarshall1209]

LOL. I was yelling at the screen telling you “use the bigger pot!“🤣

[@TheJungleHaven]

Ahahahah!! You were so right! That was a BAD call I made (tired tired brain) 😂

[@lauravelazquezlopez-ibor6466]

Great video!!! Helped me to pick up my room. 🥰🥰🥰

[@TheJungleHaven]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, and yayyyyy to the tidy room 💚

[@rosewagner4018]

Your heart leaf is beautiful, I think it will be very happy 😊

[@heathersink2339]

I’m the same way with combining different plants in the same pot. But these two look lovely and should be happy together for a while. I love and enjoy your videos, thank you 💚

[@TheJungleHaven]

They're doing really well actually and I do love the look of them! 💚

[@plantfan668]

You can use aquarium water conditioner- you only need a few drops so it works out cheaper than distilled. Also if you run a dehumidifier you can use the water from that.

[@jathziafarro3265]

I love your videos, I listen to them all the time! I thought you were already a full time content creator and was so surprised to hear that you weren't!

[@talyamoyer8087]

Great video - love these chatty ones ☺ as i'm sitting here ready to pot some pothos cuttings! Joli reminds me so much of my one rescued girl name Dizzy lol esp that clip of her "punching" your face. We've been working with our girl over the last year for the pawing and she's cut it down a good bit! Love that you have the patience for a rescue 💛🐶🪴

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thanks Talya! Aww bless, Dizzy sounds adorable! Joli's got so much better, but really doesn't have much spacial awareness bless her (forever work in progress) 😂💚

[@mwatson4970]

I just found u about a week ago, and then this video is so me JUST THIS WEEK- from putting off repotting for fear of hurting/upsizing my plant babies, the Italian and Japanese cuisine, and even the Passionflower Tea for my anxiety! Are u sure we aren't separated twins?? Love your chats so much.

[@locumdo]

I think it was a good idea to put both crawlers together for a while. They can keep each other company.😊

[@sallyedmondson9275]

Wow, that vine is a beast ! Gorgeous. Can’t wait to see it flourish once it gets going 👍🏼🌿

[@TheJungleHaven]

It's crazy right!? I love it and am fully accepting it will one day dominate my home 😂

[@shelleywaggoner1474]

Least favorite plant(s) my Money Tree and Lucky Bamboos...

[@TheJungleHaven]

I feel you with lucky bamboo. Although I do love mine, it's given me agro over the years!

[@samrush3111]

What does Passion flower tea taste like? Very interested. Hearing you talk about how plants have helped with anxiety has made me realise that yeah it has helped me too. I’m very careful of not buying to many too quickly though because I know myself, I can get major overwhelm when surrounded by too many things that need my attention and that triggers my anxiety.

[@TheJungleHaven]

It's not delicious like some herbal tea... It kind of has a grassy taste? I usually put a spoonful of honey with it, and over time I've actually grown to really like the taste. It's more soothing that tasty 💚 I also completely get the not feeling overwhelmed with plants - when it starts to feel too much it's definitely an anxty trigger for sure x

[@scottanthony6269]

The honey would be soothing in it's self

[@scottanthony6269]

Yes you have done the right thing you've given the large plant weight at the base and stopped it getting top heavy you may find you will have to train it up a pole your doing a great job

[@mwatson4970]

@@TheJungleHaven Agree. Though I will usually mix another tea in to mine and make a pitcher to use as iced (sweet) tea. That helps cut that almost nothing taste. Thanks for sharing!

[@shadesofidaho]

I studied crystls and found several that are good for anxiety. I built a nice shield of crystals in necklaces and never take them off. It is so fun when I come across another that understands the crystals I am wearing and comments on them. Most just think I am a necklace freak. I am a new sub and been binging on your videos. So glad you chose that larger pot. LOL I was going NO NO NO the larger one. That plant will have it filled up in no time.

[@Kaaris]

Thank you for mentioning passion flower tea. After going down the Google rabbit hole I'm gonna give it a try. I've been in treatment for severe anxiety for years and it has never been brought up. Thank you again

[@TheJungleHaven]

Not at all, it's great stuff! 💚💚

[@MsOpium]

Only way I’d plant different plants together in the same pot is if they are in the same family or have similar looks. I wanna do this with a few different pothos breeds in one big pot or long planter like you have and make them climb and intertwine! I think the differnt colors and patters between a marbled and golden would be gorgeous

[@JudiDi]

Amazing video! Thank you.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you so much, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! 💚

[@Wyvernn2000]

for my pots with larger drainage holes, I use window screen to just hold it all in. still gets air and holds all the small things in lol

[@TheJungleHaven]

That's such a good idea - I'll remember that! My friend also uses the netting from packs of onions which I thought was pretty nifty 💚

[@calgirl5973]

Yay you did go with the bigger one! Hahaha 🤣

[@TheJungleHaven]

😂💚

[@irenapostolovska1754]

I would love to see Joli birthday video🐕❤

[@TheJungleHaven]

Ahhaha awww ok maybe I'll do a little birthday vlog 🥰🐾

[@Wyvernn2000]

my red maranta prayer plant is the one I would get rid of, keeping the humidity I need for it is a pain lol

[@TheJungleHaven]

I know, marantas can be super fussy about their humidity! 💚

[@Aquamarine.Aubrey]

I love these so much! I just bought a huge mason jar with a terrarium in mind! How much light do you give them. Just buy a window or a grow light?

[@cozyjackie]

I'm a Hufflepuff! I know they seem lame at first but they value friendship and kindness and I think that's really important 💕

[@TheJungleHaven]

Whooooop whoop! TEAM HUFFLEPUFF 🥰🙌💚

[@patricethomas5368]

Yeaaaa for Hufflepuff!!! Love them

[@laurenervin1404]

I've noticed that my string of hearts strands root really quickly like the SOP did! I used to do the butterfly method with the SOH, but that takes a bit of time and I just DON'T always have the patience for that😅

[@TheJungleHaven]

Yeah they can be super quick to root! Love a quick rooting plant - I'm so impatient 😂

[@brennacole2080]

Ur plants are so pretty, im also going to the plant swap sooo excited but very nervous 😬😅

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you so much! Ooooh yay how exciting - can't wait to see you there 💚

[@codielane]

I would love to see an update on the big Sodoroii pot.

[@TheJungleHaven]

I'll do one soon for sure - it's growing like crazy since I potted it 💚

[@josephinejones9392]

❤️ u claire!

[@TheJungleHaven]

💚🥰🐾

[@anastaciatisdale8869]

I’m the same way with houseplants. It just doesn’t seem right lol

[@kayla9165]

I have an angel wing bengonia and I honestly can’t stand it but I can’t get rid of it for some reason I would have to like chuck it and I feel bad lol I also have a tea tree which I do like but it just isn’t thriving and constantly loses leaves but somehow it’s not bare but I feel like I never see new leaves 😅

[@calgirl5973]

I 100% would’ve gone with the larger pot for the philodendron, but I hope it does well.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Yep, you're right! 😂

[@jakiblu1]

Your plants are beautiful. Also wondering where did you get the white plant container?

[@stephanieprstgaard1490]

do you have a video, where you show how you make youre pots?

[@PlantsNPaws]

I feel you on combining plants. It bothers me for some reason…. Although now I’m imagining putting my gloriosum and pastazanum together because the pasta is sooooo much taller that’s it could look cool. I just filmed a potting video for my Ecuagenera import of the pastazanum and now you’re making me reconsider using a basic pot…. Anyway, just wanted to say I enjoy your vibe girlfriend! This is my first video and I subbed during the intro 😆 I can’t wait to see more of your content

[@TheJungleHaven]

Yeah I'm not sure what it is about it... Maybe just that you can't totally appreciate one plant? Haha I don't know. Thanks so much for your kind words - I'll have a watch of that vid later (I've been eyeing up Ecuagenera for a while now) 💚

[@emmanetts]

My least favourite plant is my aloe Vera, it’s just that plant that is never happy no matter what I do, doesn’t grow, looks all droopy, I’ve tried more water, less water, more light, less light, and she still hates me! I’ve given her a new potting mix today, if she doesn’t like it then she can go back to the friend who gave her to me and live in her greenhouse 😂 great video! Love your repots and chats! Xx

[@TheJungleHaven]

They can be quite tricky! I actually looked at mine and thought about saying it was my least favourite too, but I've had it for so long now I just couldn't 😂 The best way I've found with mine is finding a bright spot and pretty much leaving it alone to do its thing. Water it only when they soil is super dry - once or twice a month and then just forgetting about it x

[@emmanetts]

@@TheJungleHaven thank you! She’s gone on a window sill, if she doesn’t like it she can leave 😂 x

[@writegirl2937]

Hey Clair! So glad I found your channel a few weeks ago! I must ask, how in the world did you get the leaves of your Heartleaf Philodendron to grow so big?? The leaves on mine are small, and I am disappointment by the slow growth this summer, even after putting it outside (under a tree) for a while. I thought they were considered fast growing plants. I mean, the leaves looked healthy and there is new growth, but the growth is very slow and the leaves are small. It is not root bound because I checked that at the beginning of the summer. Any suggestions? BTW....all of your plants are gorgeous! 🙂💚

[@Layeredworld]

Hiya do you always break the roots up when you re-pot? Why should you need to do this?

[@heathersink2339]

If I had to give one of my plants away...😬awful to talk about...I could part with one of my smaller snake plants and for the same reason as yours. I’m not as “emotionally attached” because we hardly have connection time. One of my larger snake plants is next to my reclining chair and I “pet” it often, I could not part with that one. But I stand in the middle of the room, talk to all of them 😁 or go to all of them individually just to express admiration and gratitude. It seems silly but is so genuine! Haha

[@TheJungleHaven]

That makes so much sense - I could actually probably part with a snake plant if I had to as (like you said) I don't have as much emotional attachment to it 😂💚

[@francemartineau5104]

I love weird!!

[@charlensing3120]

I don't like plants mixed either! Unless its succulents or cacti... then for some reason I am okay with it.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Yeo, I totally get that 😂 hahah very funny!

[@josephinejones9392]

Re: the anxiety, your articulate, authentic “ramble” on the challenge giving voice to / your experience on anxiety *IS*, imho, what is the most human or useful on this topic. Like, an overly manicured / ‘perfect’ response can't be as helpful as that human confrontation given experience to something that darkens the whites of their eyes. Something you can tell reflects your humanity Is this too deep? Probably! Xx Josephine

[@TheJungleHaven]

Thank you 💚

[@TheJungleHaven]

And also, no not too deep - that was so poetic 🥰

[@shayzoo2]

You’ve got to take the test so the sorting hat can put you in a Hogwarts house. On the plant front, I’ve just gotten more into plants. I’ve bought quite a few in the last few months but I find learning what each one wants is a bit overwhelming. What do you think is the best way to learn and keep track of what each plant needs, and when you’ve done it? With so many plants, how do you keep track of when you’ve fertilized, repotted, watered?

[@TheJungleHaven]

Haha I know I definitely need the sorting hat! It definitely gets easier as you get to know all the plants (I find I actually remember what I've done to most of them nowadays and I've got 350+) but when you're first starting out it can be good to group plants with similar care requirements together so that you can monitor them as a bunch if that makes sense. For example, high light plants that like their soil to dry out in between waterings in one spot, and low light plants that like their soil consistently moist in another 💚

[@shayzoo2]

@@TheJungleHaven thank you. I’ll try that. Now to get the puppy to leave them alone so I can get some plants that aren’t dog safe. All the ones Im wishing for I have leave at the store for now.

I have a straight up anxiety disorder that's residual from long term PTSD. While pregnant I can't take my anxiety meds as it could cause a lot of issues for fetus. I am very hard to live with right now, but my toddler is so awesome we decided to go through this crap one last time. I have two months to go and plants have straight up kept me from having premature delivery. I have Braxton Hicks contractions and am having a really complicated pregnancy otherwise. Every time I am having issues I start working with my plants to distract myself.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Wow that must be incredibly tough for you right now, but a brave/very rewarding decision to make 🥰 I'm so happy to hear your plants are keeping you going - plant care is honestly so healing/calming and can be an absolute saviour! You've got this, keep going and stay planty, it'll all be worth it 💚

I would think that any variegated plant would need less water because less of the surface of the leaves are performing photosynthesis and thus use less water? Not a botanist, but makes sense in my brain.
