Im from bihar india, my mom regularly watches your videos, even though she doesn't understand english. Your videos and tips/techniques have helped us achieve humongous bloom of Chrysanthemum last year. All of our verandah was covered with yellow and purple pimpom ball like flowers. Big thanks and love to you.❤❤❤❤

Dang, my insomnia had me up an hour and a half before GA posted. You know it’s too early when you’re up before the daily posting. 😊

[@niteshimmeror9847]

Same 🙂

[@brandongill5376]

😅Same here!!!!

[@dianegougelet1829]

Hi~ I was up before posting as well. It gave me extra time to make my coffee & cuddle with my Husky. Enjoy your day! I hope we can get in an afternoon nap to catch up.🙋

Rain falling while working in a greenhouse feels so soothing. Also the fact that irrigation on everything is being done by God!❤🎉😊

[@suekrebs3497]

As someone who also grows lisianthus from seed and knows the long journey, I was happy to see you pot them all up and save them!

[@laraemitchell9064]

I love hearing rain, also. Maybe it’s common for many people to enjoy, but especially being from the high desert climate (same as Laura) makes it extra special. Also nice to see Russel and Cheddar sharing a chair for a cozy nap. 💚💚💚

[@ja-uh9gz]

The idea of using the original pot inside the new pot...then putting in the soil is genius! Making the hole the same size makes it much easier to transfer the plant into the new home. A custom made hole. Great idea! So simple...but would never think of it.

[@robertbrewer2190]

Using pot to create quick planting well.....one of the "why didn't I think of that!!!" ideas.

[@chompers11]

Its called slip potting, you dont always want to do it as plants get larger as they will remain rootbound without removing dead soil

[@lisahowell3468]

Aww.. the cats were in the shape of a heart..so sweet!❤🐱🐈

​@@sheilastromberger2275Thank you so much for letting us know! Last time I checked their shop, they didn't have it yet. I just added it to my birthday wishlist! 😁

I can tell you are happy to be planting, transplanting, and taking care of all those seedlings. Some of my tomato seeds have sprouted and basil. Preparing new planting beds for all my peppers and tomatoes this year with the help of my daughter! It is good to have help and someone to share the joy of gardening. Thank you for all of your inspiration.

Good morning, Laura ☕️ I about spat my coffee out when I heard you say the fertilizer smells “minty” because I think it stinks something awful 🤢😂😂 Another great video. Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈🐈

[@Andrea-si2vs]

I laughed when she said that. I don't find it horrible like fish fertilizer, but I wouldn't really say minty. I'll have a think on it next time I fertilize 😆

I love the house plants. They look so happy. All those trays of plants in the greenhouse that you have been working on will be ready to go outside before we know it. I love rainy days when you can work on thing you love and just listen to that beautiful music. Have a blessed day.

[@valerieoster8049]

Whew! I gasped when I heard you say you were going to thin and discard the Lisianthus seedlings! I sighed from relief when you changed your mind. Those babies are precious!!

[@jemmaleofitz1152]

Hi, I went to Home Depot yesterday & found they carry some of the Proven Winners Leaafjoy series. I was so excited. I only had the budget to buy 2 because I was there to buy other home maintenance items(new flooring). I lucked out & found them on sale. This is the 1st time I've seen them here. We don't receive a lot of Proven Winner products. I usually have to order online. Thanks for all the videos.

[@kimmileusnic3249]

Love watching your videos and I have become a better gardener because of them. Thank you!

[@rosavargas539]

The sound of rain on the greenhouse …. Music to my ears😊 can sleep to that like lullaby

[@juliesummerfield9784]

You saying you weren't going to keep the small lisianthus...I was like....those are a lot bigger than mine keep them. Haha. Beautiful happy seedlings all around. This video has me excited to complete our greenhouse, it's very similar in size and style as yours & I cannot wait for days in there like you have shown in this video.

Oh, I had to chuckle when Laura said, “I don’t need too many snap dragons, so we just have 72x3!!!” 😂😂😂😂 Would love to know the brand and where I can find some of those rocks you top dressed the house plants with. I see you have three bags, we’re they different colors? Do the rocks help control fungus gnats? They sure made those plants look beautiful! 🌱🪴

[@JamieNowicki]

Your video did not show up today in my subscribed video list, I had to go directly to the channel. My notifications are still set on all. No worries, you guys are so consistent I just checked the channel directly🥰 Blessings abound!

[@michelesimpson2237]

Awe Cheddar and Russell reminds me of my C’mere and C’mon (orange tabbies) when they were with me. Laura thank you so much for the Lisianthus update. I just potted mine up a week ago. They are precious since they take so long to grow. I started mine December 23 but I think I will start mine this year in November by the way yours look. It’s gonna be 90 degrees here today in Austin.

[@newt52864]

Cute names 🤩

[@kelleywright486]

Love those names! Too cute. I should have named my cat Stop That!😅

Good morning Laura and 🐈🐈 I wish I had patience to do seedlings yours are so awesome, the house plants are beautiful the rain would put me to sleep in the greenhouse I'd probably cuddle up with the kitties LOL thank you Laura for sharing as always Have a wonderful rainy day, 👋 🙂 🌱

[@camicri4263]

Thank you Laura for a peaceful, happy work day! Blessings!

[@beverlylee-thompson5417]

Thank you for that 3rd tray of lisianthus! I started with 200 seeds and I am now babying 35 seedlings. Throwing those extras out would have hurt me😂

[@bryghian]

We have the regular Epipremnum here in my country, Cebu blue is a cultivar also from my country from an island province called Cebu, and it grows outside under direct tropical sun with no fuzz at all. Sometimes, they would cover a whole tree

[@iartistdotme]

Bravo for the pretty blue shirt. When you went into the studio I noticed it as the blue behind the plant stands and the blue of your eyes really set off the blue shirt. So pretty! The variegated plant is my favorite - perfect pot, also.

[@angelagill75]

That syngonium three kings is beautiful. I have the Cebu Blue Pothos along with the Snow Queen, Marble Queen, Golden and Global Green.

[@brendachance7647]

Laura, I don't know how you toss a lisianthus seedling they take so long to grow. I just don't have the heart and I can always find a spot. So glad to see you made an additional tray.

[@debbyrennock8435]

Good morning from Green Bay. I love to see you keep the lisianthus seedlings. 😊Spring will be here soon and you'll plant them outside before you know it. The cats resting is cute.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

Very busy time of year. I’ve been trying to stay on top of my seedlings, so I’m not overwhelmed by them during Spring cleaning of the house and outdoor furniture. I like how you have your seedling pots organized in the crates.

[@alcg3981]

Thx Laura, for explaining about snipping to thin seedlings! As opposed to gently pulling the larger ones apart. I wondered about that from time to time.. Kitties so cute nestled (almost) together😊. Strength in numbers?😅...regarding Douglas ...

[@judystahlman1620]

I loved watching you and your sleepy kittys today ❤

[@LifeHomeandGardenwithAnaRica]

So many great seedlings, you are so organized.

[@RealBradMiller]

18:38 Yeah, I had a cebu blue on my back porch in a hanging basket... In four months, it grew up thirty feet in to an oak tree, and the weird thing is the way the water trickled down the vine from the rain, would water the entire pot. I still havw a cutting I'm about to pot up, but I'll have to keep it in check this time. 😂

[@susanmeanslily]

Thank you for an excellent video, explaining what you’re doing, how to do it and why. I learned quite a bit!

[@VirginiaMathews94]

Very helpful video on this stage of seedlings, as I’m in need of thinning and separating too! Also, I love the mix of rock you top dressed the house plants! 🪴

[@upnorth21]

Amazing roots on those Lisianthus! Wonderful to see Cheddar and Russell cuddling!

[@DebbieRoycroft-gj9hg]

Laura, while you’re planting seeds and separating seedlings, what do you think about, do you dream of where you’ll place each seedling and the beautiful blossoms they’ll produce? It’s so fun and I love the promise of planting and hoping,

[@railiedouglas3018]

You inspired me this morning to go get a big bag of potting mix & some perlite & repot the Philodendron Birkin & Epipremnum Marble Queen I have growing on a stand out on my front porch. Marble Queen had attached itself to the house at one point & I lost a flake of paint unattaching it. Gave Birkin a new stake. Such pretty plants. Also bought four seedlings in tiny pots from Bunnings this morning. Don’t know if you have Bunnings over in America but they’re big here in Australia. Epipremnum pinnatum variegata, Philodendron brasil (which I know you’ve got), Philodendron Silver Sword & Philodendron Brandianum. Will pot them up shortly. Cheap as chips.

[@kris_klo]

Always enjoy my morning coffee and watching GA. I feel like it has been quite awhile since I’ve seen Douglas make an appearance in a video…Hope he is okay? Love when the kitties have cameos.

[@muddove9214]

Hey Laura! I got an idea for extra space in your studio! I’m not sure if your grow lights (the black ones) have a top shelf but you should have Paul build some sort of shelf that runs the length of them, that way when you do have plants that are transitioned from the studio to the house, they have a place out of the way. I mean WHO DOESN’T NEED MORE SPACE, RIGHT! Love love love your content and your whole family!❤

[@suziperret468]

Thanks Laura! I’m starting seeds and need to thin and separate some soon. Appreciate your tips!

[@amber_bloom]

You can overwinter lisianthus in your greenhouse. I'm a zone 10 and your greenhouse is warmer than our lows. Dig some up and pop them in a pot for early blooms next year. Mine are 3 years old.

[@Autwalk13]

I don’t want a lot of snapdragons… just 72 x 3 only equals 216. No big deal. Says no one but Laura! You are always making me giggle my lady! ❤❤❤

[@michaliareeton3247]

Great video today Laura. Lots of get advice. And just love your new plants you potted up today just beautiful and love the pots you put them in.

[@debs-more-plants]

Thank you for the seed steps- I get so nervous before I start! You give me hope!!

[@raleighrobinson6399]

Not saying you’ll have any problems with burle Marx but if you do, try an aroid mix with bark, charcoal and perlite. They are all beautiful. Do you thin you lavender down to just one tiny plant per square? I thinned my down to two or three per square but it’s so sad to kill what I worked so hard to grow. I just don’t need large quantities.

[@ac42405]

Agree on the aroid mix for the Burle Marx, also might need to remove the topdress of rocks.

[@uponcallicohill3096]

Lisianthus are going to be new to me this year!

[@mstewart9231]

Even if your geraniums just stay this size they are beautiful. The leaf shapes are just lush and healthy looking. I like to work in a vest too. It keeps my neck and body warm but doesnt restrict my movements when I am gardening.
