How many plants do you have now and when did you start your plant journey?

[@lisapettit7334]

I have over 170 plants and I began a year ago.... Well, I actually began again. While in university and in my 20's I had a mini jungle, but NOT like the one I have now!

[@yadi79]

I have 23 plants. I feel so happy caring for them. I started buying plants about 2-3 months ago, so I'm def a newbie.

[@yayas1675]

I have 33 plants and I started my journey about 3 weeks ago :) I have released a inner monster that will not be stopped, you can never have TOO many plants right?

[@Aweeshi]

New plant mom here! I have now a total of 19 plants 🥰

[@ddharper4841]

So weird you just made this video today!! I’ve literally just found mealy bugs on my seedling cactus today 😯 googled it and I’ve made a dish soap spray but I’m ordering some rubbing alcohol too! I also had the fungus gnats on one of my bonsai and that was the first type of bug and now the mealy bugs. Twice your videos have been relevant to me at that particular moment, thank you for all your videos and sharing your knowledge , I love my plants and we appreciate you 🙌🏼

[@harvindersinghuppal2162]

I have zero houseplants (i'm an outdoor gardener) but took in a whole bunch of videos yesterday following a request to buy a houseplant for my dad (who has dementia), and boy oh boy I have been surprised by the level of care needed to make it a success. I thought you knocked it out of the park with this video which provides the more holistic needs of looking after plants in order to be successful, really impressed ....the whole quarenteening business makes perfect sense but there is definately initial shock about how seriously you have to take bringing any plant into your home. Keep up the good work dude ...

[@Restonation007]

Plant parent! New word of the day. I'm now a new plant parent!

[@Mastiffmom1574]

I'm in Michigan so we're neighbors! 😂 But I just wanted to say thank you. I've learned more from a handful of your videos than I have reading article after article, and watching other videos. You don't ramble, to hit alot of points in a short time and I am SOOOO thankful for your "newbie tips". I only wish I would have found you sooner! Thank you! And I've told ALL my friends about your channel!

[@arelysg.3249]

I started my little plant obsession this year January and I have about 19 plants? Thanks to you and all the other PlantTubers that have provided all your knowledge and advice so that all my babies can thrive 🥰

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Yay. Welcome to plant parenthood. Lots of good info out there to help you and your plants thrive together. 😊

[@anad.5674]

I started with a Zz plant in January. Still only had one until May. Now I have almost 30... and I found myself talking to my plants yesterday.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Bwahaha sounds like you’re living your best life. 🌿😆

[@Asdfgqedfglo]

Lol I recently got into plants. And a few weeks I took my friend with me to a nursery and he got a little bored so he went off looking at other stuff and when he came back, there I was in the nursery talking to the plants!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I didn’t even realize I was doing it.

[@cindyveliz7409]

Started April & maybe a good 50+ plants & they help me with my stress and anxiety 🌿♥️

[@cherrylynsera4339]

Watching your youtube videos got me inspired to add houseplants..ive been to 21 seven market twice already since i watched your vlog on plant shopping last thursday. Then i hurriedly drove to Valleyview Garden after i saw your new post on youtube yesterday.. You got me addicted to collect houseplants that in 4 days i bought more than 40 and close to 50 plants.. My daughter who is just 14 yrs old also got interested in collecting and loving to take care of plants especially the succulents..Now, I cant stop watching and stalking you on youtube and ig..😅😂..keep us all inspired by posting your vlogs..

[@eugenieqs]

Thank you for again a great video! I use a hairdresser continuous mister for my plants. It produces a stream of sustained mist that lasts a few seconds, allowing large areas to be covered quickly and easily. Besides, the ergonomic design reduces hand fatigue compared to traditional trigger and fingertip sprayers. For propagation, I re-use the dishwasher resistant take-away white boxes with a clear lid from restaurants. I fill them with moist sphagnum moss. The closing with a lid causes a warm and moist environment and causes faster rooting. It works great and makes the transition for the new roots to soil a lot easier.

[@myserenitycrafts]

Newly here. My collection is really growing and this video comes at the perfect time. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and experience. Sara

[@woodywoo4042]

I just discovered you Christian the crazy plant guy and love your shows.... your exuberance for the plants is infectious and you go the full gamet from basic tips to more involved, plus you are so easy on the eyes..thanks and keep up the great work!

[@PlantsPotsWhatNots]

Hey Love. Great video and advice. If I had to add anything, I would say a small squeeze bottle or a syringe for watering succulents, filling prop containers and wetting moss poles. I couldn't love without mine!

[@melissacorey755]

I've had plants for years but I've definitely upped my game since guarentee. Including my outside vegetable garden.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

That’s awesome. I actually just started my veggie and fruit garden this year too. 😊

[@melissacorey755]

@@CrazyPlantGuy you're going to love the satisfaction of growing your own food. There's nothing like a fresh tomato.

[@Hannah-ko7qd]

I started in May and have 10 plants now! I love taking care of them and looking forward to watching them grow!

[@kat1984]

I've found bamboo skewers to be more accurate than either of my moisture meters. If there's soil on the skewer when you pull it out of the pot you know the plant doesn't need water. If the skewer comes out of the pot without any soil stuck then you need to water. It has helped me a lot. I use mason jars and vases to propagate plants. I think cleae plastic saucers also come in handy. I use them as saucers and I also fill them with soil in order to propagate succulents. I currently have jade and a gasteria sitting in the soil to root them I'll transfer them to small ceramic pots.

[@spathecadet42o]

I’ve always kept six or so plants my whole life...but over the last five months my collection has definitely increased to over thirty or so. With a couple new Hoyas on the way. 😁 It’s a wonderful hobby and I’m obsessed for sure. Also having to take up carpentry to build shelves to store all of my greenery! Thanks for the interesting video 🌱

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

That’s awesome. Love how it’s also opened up other interest and things you can do like building shelves. It’s definitely added a lot to my life. 😊

February 2020 I had about 5 ot 6 plants, June 2020 I have 160. I cought the Covid19 virus and the plantvirus but the last one I will not need to recover from. Watched about every plantvideo on youtube for proper care and love to see the enthousiasm of other plantaddicts. Love your videos , you are always smiling 'Happy Crazy Plantguy' your videos are fun to watch and very informative and practical, thanks for sharing! Hoping you will get my favorite 2 plants: a Verrucosum and a Gloriosum so I can watch your caretips for those plants too.

[@nottigyrl]

Love watching you thank you!!! I would also add rainwater to the list always be collecting some rainwater and keep it handy for the tropical plants that are sensitive to tapwater I started to believe that water through the britta wasn’t necessarily as purified as we think for our plants

[@markeric8153]

Love all the content Crazy Plant Guy! I’m a relatively new plant parent, but I got a pro tip from a grower who raises bonsai. He sent me a metal chop stick with a round end! It’s been such a helpful tool... so much so that I bought more. I use them to aerate the soil (mimicking the work of worms) if I’m concerned about moisture levels, to stake up little propagations, to help inspect leaves for compact plants where your hands may damage the foliage. They’re readily available and super great :P

[@Mario-is6sk]

I’m guilty!! My collection has increased very fast over the last few months! I ordered that propagation station just want I needed! Thanks!

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Haha, all good. Lots of us are guilty for adding a lot more plants since quarantine 😆.

[@cynthiabrown842]

Good afternoon: Thank you, for all the vital segments that you provide. As a new plant parent, I am grateful for all the information that you provide.

welcome to plant parenthood 😊🌿

[@AsToldByAmber121]

Thank you for all of your tips/recommendations! I am a new plant mom, currently have a total of 4 plants, it’s only been a week since I’ve had them but so far I am learning a lot and they seem to be thriving. I purchased the yellow sticky traps you mentioned and they work great and have helped a lot of with all of the fungus flys/gnats. Thanks again!!

[@7puggiescyndycarruthers193]

started with my plants around 20 months ago. what a journey! have learned so much and met so many wonderful planty people online. i have approximately 250 plants (gulp!). i may “thin the herd” a bit this summer as my tastes refine and i focus on species i prefer. i enjoy your channel very much.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Wow. 250 plants, that’s amazing. 😃

[@blacktazze]

Look what you have just turned me into? A plant dad in an instant. Plus the quarantine. Haha! Your plants are such goals! And we call ourselves in the Philippines Plantito/Plantita (plant uncle/plant aunt). Haha! Love your videos! More tips please! Thank you.

[@addison9774]

I got my “first” plant about three years ago, and my collection has grown to 75. Thankfully I have not had any problems, except for an aloe that is to big for its space. I will admit that my collection has grown quite a bit during quarantine, but I think it was bound to grow soon anyways. Thank you for preparing me for future pest outbreaks🕷🌿

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

lol...so true. Quarantine might have just sped up your plant collection. Once you got your first plant last year, there was no going back 😆

[@celinef.9627]

Hey C! I've Always loved plants...but I didn't know back at the Time what I know today...so I used to kill them a lot!Since then, I learned so much...from books,internet,YT plant channels etc ..Now I 'd say...I've got Maybe around 70 plants...most of them in my bedroom + kitchen,the Only 2 spaces I have.I live in a small appt in town...And as far as propagation stations and misting plant are concerned,I upcycle absolutely everything !(from kitchen jars to beauty bottles etc etc ) and usually I note that plants prefer dark bottles to grow Roots better ,and add a Pothos in it and it will grow faster thanks to the growing hormons released by the Pothos,for example. Voilà !🌱🌿🍃☺😉have a nice night !

[@StuffedAvocado]

Light meter and grow lights, aeration sticks, leftover butcher paper for keeping your potting workspace clean when you repot or remove plants).

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Oh yes the aeration stick. That is definitely a good one. I sometimes will use chopstick 😆 and the butcher paper is helpful for sure...I keep making a mess when repotting.

[@dianeblack6866]

I have a substantially large collection and it is good that you mentioned the peroxide..I think it should be spoken of more than it is, since most people already have it in their home as a first aide product..now it can be a first aide supplement to their collection as well.

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Thanks Diane. You’re absolutely right the peroxide is first aid for you and your plants too.. 😆 really works wonders to heal a sick plant.

[@yyou3312]

You should also consider getting fertilizer especially now that most plants are in their growing season. If you don't have, maybe try some DIY fertilizers (e.g. coffee grounds for orchids or banana peels aloe).

[@standfaye1612]

Hi Christian, i started my plant journey 2 yrs ago with succulents, I have now dented my bank account in branching out to more plant genus. I just received my moisture meter yesterday (and few more plants) 😁

[@CrazyPlantGuy]

Succulents are great to start with. You can control your overwatering and will do well as you venture into other tropical houseplants 😆 moisture meter helps

[@Abbyvzla]

I had 0 plants before February. Then I moved into a new house, quarantine started, and so did my plant obsession. I have almost 40 now 🥰 Id say need oil is very handy and important. I clean my big plant leafs (like monstera, bird of paradise and snake plants) with neem oil to avoid pests and I spray all my other ones as well. I’d also recommend fertilizer of course, I use worm castings and fish Emulsion. I already have the moisture meter. Now I just need the humidity meter. Just bought a humidifier as well. I live in Arizona, where it’s hot and dry. It was well needed.

I always felt I was opposite of a green thumb. I’ve had a succulent & a sad looking bamboo for a few years that I’ve managed not to kill. My daughter and son-in-law had to move from Southern California to New York about a month into the quarantine & didn’t have room for all of her plants, so she left them with me😂 She bought me a meter just like you have & it’s been life changing! She left 10 plants, including one that she was going to throw away, saying it was dead (it’s alive!!). I have also bought 2 of my own since. I think I probably drowned my previous plants. I’m now a convert! I already have several plants I’m looking forward to acquiring! 🌱🌿

Christian, how dry on my meter do I wait to water plants that say like to dry out before watering I find waiting till it reads 0-1 is much too dry. Calathea for instance do I water when it just starts hitting red 3? This can be confusing 😆 also humidity level in my home is only 45-50% right now in the summer. And I have my humidifier running.
