Oh my goodness, when Pablo came trotting in with his toy, I laughed out loud for real. How adorable was that! "Mom! Mom! I have the toy! Is play time!"

[@PlantswithKrystal]

My whole heart just lit up when I saw that when editing!

Today has been such a hard day. My Dad passed away after a 12yr. battle with cancer on 9-20-23. About a year before he passed he had given me a cutting from his fig tree in the back yard. It was thriving & beautiful and then we had a hard freeze that it just couldnt take. Just like with my Dad I had done everything possible to ensure it's survival... but it still did not make it. It is literally the only plant I have ever fought for and nourished to the best of my abilities and lost. God can be funny like that I guess. Now I love each and every one of my plants differently though. I just focus on enjoying them. I spend time admiring them with a heart full of gratitude because I am getting to love them at all. No matter if they make it or not. So tonight I am up and sleepless, missing someone I still love so dearly. However, knowing that you have had loss and probably have a similar relationship with your plant friends makes me feel not so alone. I cannot thank you enough for just being on this platform. Sending lots of love, hugs, and prayers sis. ❤-TX

[@phenixwars1]

I appreciate you mentioning that if you keep your plants clean and healthy you should have less pests. So many KZbinrs scare me with their pest horror stories, so it's good to hear that although it can happen it doesn't have to be catastrophic. I love plants but I don't need more stress in my life.

[@Mamafish68]

I get this 100%. being in the fish hobby for years!!

[@pandalyn2267]

Pablo is so adorable running in happily with a toy in tow ❤

Good morning everyone! Or good afternoon or night! Remember to water your plants…..🌵🌱

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Yes! A great reminder!

[@ckarenpadilla5740]

Krystal, is this the same plant you eventually placed outside in one of your later videos & you mentioned that the sun changed the leaves to like a very light purplish/pinkish color? If it helps you made like a cute cactus 🌵 trellis to support the plant?😂 No worries gonna pull up the old TikTok. But if it’s, then I want to purchase one from the same manufacturer you mentioned because I was truly impressed with their packaging!! Love ya Chica!👩🏻‍🌾🏝️

[@hummingbirdinSoCal]

Awwww... a new plant baby!!😍😍😍 Love these longer videos! You are so wonderful to watch! Your calm voice and how you talk to your plants, so awesome! Love it! Sending you some southern california sunshine! 🌞😎Spring is on the way! 🌷😃🌷

My fav KZbinr posted right on time!!!! I’m folding laundry thinking about what I need to propagate 😂

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Happy to join you along with laundry! 🥰

[@tinabeall22]

You are absolutely not alone in sniffing your plants! It's a lifelong habit I have to sniff everything before using or buying it; I can't even pour a drink into a cup without smelling the cup first 😅

[@onism8906]

13:50 fun fact always try to look for leaf cleaners with camphor or peppermint because camphor is know to repel thrips from the strong scent. camphor is found in peppermint thats why its so popular to use as a cleaner

[@AshCash0629]

Thanks for the fun fact!

[@danijordan8122]

lol Pablo watching you open the box like it’s something for him is cracking me up

[@zdenkablazejovska3180]

I always am so excited to see when you post another planty video!! You are such a delight to watch! Makes me think how I'd love to be friends with you!! Thank you for all your videos, the information you share and for being you!!

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Yay! Happy your enjoyed! It’s been great to get into a routine of filming!

[@stonerified]

I'm so happy you're making videos now. I've be following you for years and one of the reasons I began to love plants. Thank you for being unapologetically you. And can't WAIT to see more and your journey ❤

[@hightunnel2723]

I like smelling plants and flowers… it brings me a lot of joy

[@thevnsdrkangl]

People have come to believe I have a green thumb because of you so thank you for the lessons. If I may, I think a dope short series on dollar general finds would be dope. I'll be here regardless 😊

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

Thank you Krystal! You're always so calm and kind in your videos. Even when you get a little crazy, there is an inner calmness that is very soothing. Love this video, as I struggle very much with leaving new plants be. I had an mpromptu repotting till two in the morning today. I was being very good at not fussing over the new plant, until I saw a mushy aerial root in the soil. In my sleepy state, I made some mistakes and had to repot twice. When I went to bed there was still soil and mud everywhere.😅

[@PlantswithKrystal]

🥹 I appreciate you! Im a little weird but overall my personality is pretty calm 😂 thank you for your support!

[@meveve93]

Hi Krystal, I can't believe your plant room is carpeted. I make a mess every time with soil water everything

[@rhodealexandre6583]

I agree with you. Take all the precautions to avoid pest infestations

[@marcelagarnica7076]

Hooray, another video from you!!😊🎉😊

[@PlantswithKrystal]

Yay! I said I needed to be more consistent and I meant it 🙌🏽😂

[@jenfillow7111]

If you use citrus castile soap it works as a gentle pesticide. I used it to treat a spider mite infestation while everything was shut down. I couldn’t get insecticidal soap but we always keep a variety of castile soaps. It worked great and my majesty palm is still here and still pest-free. I need to stock up this weekend. The orchid show is next weekend and I want an army of dwarf orchids.

[@BLANKU2]

I am the same I do not play when it comes to bugs. I don't rush home and repot I come home see whats going on under the hood lol then I treat every new plant with Captain Jack Dead Bug brew and the new guy lives in a day spa bathroom for a month. I'd rather do this EVERY time then to play"Let's save the Villagers from Godzilla!" and have to spend sooooooooooooooooooooooo much time and money on trying to save the other townfolk in my collection. I don't need the stress. Plants are my happy not a Marvel comic needing heroic big budget scenes.

[@marisolcorona9728]

Buenos días! I looked for a video like this, thank you for going in detail for us plant newbie’s 🫶🏼♥️🪴

[@kassiegross3608]

I’m so glad that I found you ! I love 🪴 plants and you make it fun!

[@user-wb3oo6hs7b]

Christal I love your videos and have learn a lot about house plants that I did not know. I’m not so frighten about those white bugs etc. anymore I just put on some disposable gloves. I have about 25 house plants so far and the larger the better but don’t have the room for those at the moment. ❤

[@Oorangeade]

Krystal, hi!! I squealed when I got the notification.😂

[@badeds100]

Me too! ❤

[@cecitriestoyoutube3411]

Krystal! New follower here, such a fan of your shorts. I recently inherited a angel wings cane begonia that was outdoors, but noticed the soil in the pot was straight up MUD. Like boggy af. I carefully removed it and washed its roots and potted it up in a mix similar to what u use. Fingers crossed!!

[@greenmatton]

❤ Wishing I had learned about isolation earlier lost collection.

[@naiehlyramirez1116]

Pablo is so adorable 😍 he just wants to do plant chores too😊

[@PlantswithKrystal]

He’s always my partner in crime!

[@anro8659]

We appreciate YOU @Plants with Krystal❤🙏...Saving this vid to better explain "quarantine/isolating" to plant newbies.

[@pinkyysk]

I'm so glad it's not just me that has help in that way. My cat feels he should be a part of everything hehe I cant remember what cutting I bought but the seller added a free leaf cutting of that hoya. I must admit I was not over impressed. Stuffed it in my Prop box and left it. Nothing happened. Needed room in the Prop box so pulled it out stuffed it in a pot and forgot about it. Then noticed a couple of new leaves. It's grown so well and it's now one of my favourite plants. I look at it every day. Its so stunning. I do smell my philodendron as I love the smell of them. Great video hope it does well Have fun

[@autumnann2165]

You inspired me to Bonsai an oak tree I’ve been growing! It’s so cute! Thank you for the video today, truly a great one! ❤❤

[@DelightfulDissident]

I commend your efforts to avoid pests coming in on new plants. Most of my experience has been the pests coming in through my windows and finding my plants! I'm currently battling several thrip situations 💀

[@Suspiriaweirdo]

Ugh I adore your channel SOOOO much! I'm on year 2 with my very first flower and succulent garden! You have literally kept me sane and informed with my all my babys' health ❤

I love that! Those sound like great ones to have in the garden!

[@joanneklaus9242]

@@PlantswithKrystal yes I love them. They’re tough and they come back every year with very little upkeep!

[@psycobasschick]

I actually got a philodendron ring of fire for $5 on clearance at Walmart! She needed help, but she is going! Cut off the rot on top, drained her out really well, and then waited to see what was happening before checking roots. She has. 1 torn up leaf, but she's going! I've been doing my best to not mess with the soil. I did get a new fiddle leaf for myself for Valentine's Day and decided to bottom water. Centipedes! I almost threw her outside! She got down potted because of what I had available, but I don't want those in my house! She just about to pop a new leaf, so I think she's good

Your castile soap mixture is the same ratio for hummingbird feeders 4 cups water and 1 cup sugar with no red dye ( it harms the birds).

[@ConnieP92]

Not a Hoya person but enjoyed the calmness with which you spoke and explained your process for bringing in a newbie 🫡 Pablo was adorable too racing in with his toy as well as sniffing every part of your plant package🤩

❤KRYSTAL❤ just messaged on another comment and video. But if you're to grossed out on feeding live insects to the VFT. Grind up dried meal worms (can mix fish flakes) when ready to feed grab some and add water almost like a paste or applesauce consistency. With a toothpick with some food on it. trigger the plant and when it closes, carefully massage the leaf so it triggers again and completely shuts close and statst the digesting process. I feed my serrancia, pings, VFT and sundews like that. Just make sure the food doesmt fall into the soil. I did so much reasearch cause i couldn't feed them live insects.

Thanks for your video it was really good. I love your dog so cute they are just so much fun. I typically just use water to wipe my leaves off after watering. I have been a little leery to put anything on them.

[@kpepperl319]

It so important to see what the soil the plants come in... Generally, the few i bought, i do find the online orders have the right soil type. The other day, i stopped myself from getting a cuddle cactus from trader Joe's because it was sitting in coco coir 😰😤... All of them were soaked. I didn't rescue any of them because I had a hard time dealing with cactus death 😅... They make me feel really guilty if they die. PSA: if you are thinking about a cuddle cacus from trader Joe's, please make sure to take them out of that coco coir and transplant them into cactus soil mix. People have been saying the plants die after a few weeks.

I caught myself sniffing the plants at Lowes the other day😊

[@crackerjack010101]

I’ve learned if I buy from a box store, dump it out of its pot and check the roots, I often find plugs of death. I bought a figgy vine that I didn’t repot/check and it was NOT doing well at all, it was awful. Finally had time to do the deed, 1/3 of the pot had heavy silt in the bottom. SILT! MUD!! Not any kind of potting soil anywhere should be using. Once I fixed that, what was left stabilized and is doing great. I’ve found plants that have the tiniest hair roots and nothing that would ever last if not attended to quickly. Needed some good soil, rooting hormone and TLC. Some of the crap out there is so awful.
