My Houseplant Home Tour: Spring 2020 - Ep 169

[@tanpokio]

We need another 2023 home tour if anyone agrees :). I feel more connected to this kind of content even though I also like watching the new upstate content from time to time, maybe it comes from living in small apartment in busy cities :) :) :)

[@iffatieshaa]

Yes! I keep rewatching these videos, over and over again. Summer Rayne's houseplant decor has so much character, uniqueness. I wish she made such videos again.

[@diogoflopes1882]

Yeah

[@ratmannlibertyhound6755]

Does she still live in the Brooklyn apartment ?

[@m4rkist]

i get genuinely emotional whenever summer talks about kippee. the amount of love she had for her little chicken just warms my chilly little heart. rest easy little one.

You should do a video on how you organize your watering routine so you don’t miss things. I’d love to see your process

[@fannyng4120]

Melon Face oo

[@JustLouns]

Exactly what I be thinking when I watch her. I have a garden and few indoor plants and it’s still rough. And having plants is like being surrounded with so many different personalities.

[@BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

Wait.. People have watering routines? That might explain why I have so much more trouble keeping my plants alive, no methodology to it, I just do it by eye/by feel..

Summer, you have such a gentle life affirming vibe, it's no wonder plants and birds flock to you, thrive in your care. You're the best.

[@jovanessavf164]

The part with the homage to Kippee and stories of her made me cry... and also made me realize how long I've been following you. Whoa! I'm sure Kippee misses you, too! She would always relive those memories of going with you on your plantscapades.

[@1213ebr]

Hi Summer. My name is Becky Ryan. I live on Singer Island, Fl. Many years ago, while living in Middletown, NY, I had lots of plants. However, after moving down here full town in 2005, I did not have ANY plants in my house. Tried plants outside, but, living on the ocean, nothing ever grew outside because of the salt and sea. However, after 14 years, decided to GREEN up my house because of a couple of things. One, going to visit a botanist who is 98 and walking around his property, replete with plants and also living in Florida, I decided to plant some cuttings he gave me. Then I came upon Homestead Brooklyn and watching your "plant one a day." I know this is a long entry, but I am now up to about 300 plants in my house. I'm totally amazed at my progress and the progress of my plants. Lots of succulents and various others. I'll buy anything that is different.I LOVE observing the light as it moves in my house. I've learned so much. I'd love to take you on my tour. Lots of thanks for encouraging a follower to start my own plant journey. My best. Becky Brown-Ryan

[@damondominique]

These plants are literally giving me life

[@summerrayneoakes]

Beautiful tour! I love to see all the personal touches - the bird feeders, the fireplace bulbs, the metal chickens, the photos of Kippee, the tea garden, the artwork and the pretty pots. It was so nice to see the footage of Kippee sleeping on her perch. I miss seeing her in your videos. She was such gorgeous lady.

[@summerrayneoakes]

Ah Paula, I miss her too. She made such an impact on my life in such a short period of time. I miss her spirit.

Posted an hour ago... it is 8 am for me. The first time I am early for a plant video, its the holy grail of videos (a tour!) all my plants look alive and lush today. I feel accomplished! 💪🏼🤩 Who else?

[@glen4075]

This is the most joyous plant tour I have ever seen. Summer just makes everything seem so effortless . There’s no plant “ snobbery “ if you know what I mean. Just the most planty heavenly space I could ever imagine. . Just the absolute best ❤aah.

How you maintain all these plants and keep them healthy is truly beyond me

Summer Rayne, I came here to watch your plant tour, and you really touched my heart... Your place is full of love for your plants and so many heartful details... My eyes teared up with all the memories of Kippee... she lives through all of these memories, in your mind, your heart, and I am sure now in many of ours as well 💚 sending a big big hug to you, dear friend, and thank you for telling your story and a little bit of Kippee's 💚

Now I want more plants 🥰

[@DorianParpari]

This video is right on time. Not only am I here for the gorgeous plant home jungle, but the bird feeders. I made up a ghetto bird feeder in my back yard only to watch two squirrels take the tray out and lick it clean a few feet from where I set things up. I put a planter tray in a hanging wire basket and some bird seed for the purpose of attracting the blue jays and cardinals. I was only able to enjoy watching these birds, the chickadees and starlings for about 2-3 days before the squirrels ruined the day. I need a proper bird feeder and will see if I can find one this week. Nature is so beautiful and I love seeing colorful cheerful birds when I'm washing my dishes from my window.

You are the NYC fairy. Your personality is so whimsical. Children must be drawn to you.

[@voxpopulitotheleft]

I have been discovering a list of houseplant KZbinrs for quite sometimes and there are always reasons to go back to you, Summer. There is a beautiful spirit that makes your house is always alluring even though it's not a super luxury apartment. Your mission in sustainability is organically practical and you showed it. Now I know this urban jungle is a definitive luxury for its inhabitant and knowing that you have been there for at least 15 years is the work of mother earth. As Indonesian, I knew a lot of native plant species from my country by watching your channel. I can't thank you enough. Terima Kasih (Thank You). I wish I could visit the Homestead Brooklyn someday. Please don't get rid of this house if you move to the country. Make it as a laboratory for our children.

[@summerrayneoakes]

I'm so pleased to receive your comment; and that you've learned some of your own native species through the channel. Noticing the plants around us-both inside and out-shows that we take time, slow down, and tune into a different wavelength. My best to you.

[@Sahiko]

42:14 I have a hoya like that, and I used to keep it in a southish facing window. It bloomed all the time, but the bright light really bleached the leaves, until it had more or less lost its dark, veiny leaves in favour of super light leaves. So I moved it a few feet away from the window and now it's starting to look like yours again, but it hasn't bloomed even once. I don't know if the stress of the sun made it bloom so much, but since I like the leaves more than the flowers I'm not too sad.

I'm in south Mississippi and the common birds here are the male and female Cardinals, Mourning Doves, Tufted Titmouses, Chickadees, Blue Jays, Northern Mockingbirds, Brown Thrashers, and Red-Bellied Woodpeckers. I also recently saw a Finch. And there are a few other birds I forgot the name to that don't visit as much as the others. Aside from the bird feeders, in March, a large flock of Cedar Waxwings came around eating the berries off of bushes. They were so cool!
