Fall Cottage Houseplant Home Tour - Ep. 397

Since the summer has now come to a close, it's time to take a walk through the Meadow House, and take care of the houseplants to assess both death and growth. We lost a couple plants along the way, but the great majority of them have grown considerably just within the last year or so.

My hoyas love full bright indirect and some even direct sunlight, i am amazed you can keep hoyas alive with that little light.

[@acesomido8425]

idk why, but your videos is my therapy. I have an ADHD, I was diagnosed when i was 9 and i have issues with my attention span and i couldn't even finish wayching 15 mins video without being distracted. But ur video is an exception, i can sit for hours binging your vids HAHAHAHA. mabuhay, summer!

[@RiziaParagas]

I feel the same! as a fellow Filipino with ADHD, her videos has been therapeutic and something I can finish from start to finish. :)

[@MeowItsGhazt]

Beautiful video, I got lucky today. 💜 I adore all your plants and how soft, warm this home feels. Thank you for uploading ❤️

[@leftover_salad]

Would love to see an updated home tour. Your interior and styling is so nicely done!

[@CesMoniqueVitan]

Hi Summer I missed your content your videos kept me company during the peak of the pandemic. I am also comforted when you said you lost a lot of plants. I lost almost all too during the summer. It took me just now, October, to have the drive to get new ones. Still was guilty over the others that died. hehe.

[@melg8475]

I love the way you styled your hoya sunrise!

[@tinah8065]

Any tips to get Sunrise to redden? Even outside over summer and it stays green for me!

[@rickyt3961]

Thank you Summer! beautiful little cottage 🙂

[@carmenmonteavaro9528]

Beautiful collection. Those pots are amazing. I love your sense of decor.

[@Patinoize]

I'm in this video and I absolutely love this! I'm elated to see the Euphorbia is doing well, she's in great hands. Looking forward to Costa Rica 🌴💚🌄

[@judymckerrow6720]

Thank you Ms. Summer, great plant collection ! 🎃🍁💚🙃

[@dai12nao]

Summer i love all your plants and how beautiful the house looks.

[@RachelSilverRae]

Developing solid Mr. Rogers vibes :)

[@janecurtis5726]

All my houseplants are happily growing indoors now (northeast Massachusetts). A few of my Tillandsias have flowering buds. Summering outdoors does them a lot of good. This time of year I’m definitely in the mood for more houseplant videos.

[@justinamontgomery2618]

Enjoyed this watering tour so much….have fun in Costa Rica!

[@sandragoerlich7134]

I like the seeing the great variety of plants, some are new to me, thanks for sharing!!!

[@brigitacerar9315]

Thank you very much for a new video. Very honest. Looking forward to next one how the plants are doing🪴🪴

[@irili100]

You have a very interesting collection of different plants. I also have a similar collection, but because I live in an area where there is no snow in the winter, the plants (succulents, cacti and hoya), can grow without a problem outside under a pergola that protects them from rain and direct sun. It seems to me that indoors, they don't have enough light to grow good sized leaves, that's why they are very long and thin and the distance between the leaves is large.

[@melg8475]

You could definitely do a few beautiful, cottage esthetic lights with grow bulbs to help out a little if you so desired! 🤍🤎

[@StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Love the plants in the cottage house ❤

[@dkulikowski]

Summer, I enjoyed the tour. I am really surprised at the amount of plants you have in this tiny meadow house. You mentioned that they have been in this location for a year and a half. They seem to be in a very 'low light' condition, which I guess will allow them to live but not thrive. Are most of these plants from the outdoors and you just want to keep them alive until Spring/Summer and they will go outside again? I also notice that your watering is very 'shallow'. Is that what you recommend? Could you please think about making a video of grooming these plants? A lot of people can relate to how your plants are not 'prime' looking plants...more reality. Here in Wisconsin, zone 5, my apartment has only west facing windows and at this time of the year the light is minimal. The snow cover gives my houseplants reflective light but no amount of sunlight. Too close to my windows the plants get too cold. The succulents are fine a foot away from the window and all other plants across the room are 'low light' plants. Since my move to independent senior living has sent me in a down sizing life style and light challenging journey of growing gorgeous plants. Mantra ... sometimes less is more. :o) Thank you for sharing your growing knowledge and passion. Ohhhhhhhhhh, what does Sanders think of this indoor jungle?

[@GreenWitch1]

Her watering is very shallow. It’s surprising. Plants need to be thoroughly watered and allowed to dry out between waterings for optimal root health.

[@limakumlapongen]

Beautiful layout of houseplants. Loved watching the house tour. Gives me a lot of ideas as houseplants enthusiast.

[@shelly8779]

UNDERATTED, may the algorithm bless you QUEEN, keep going yt better highlight you.

[@jessr6232]

Cant wait to watch this and relax!

[@ЛенаЛи-х8т]

Dear Summer, could you please make a video on your hoyas: how you place them (with the limited space: horizontally or hanging), what about light conditions (esp. in winter, if you use growlight or not), watering (depending on hoya-type), soil for thin-leaf hoyas (maybe use more peat?). Which hoyas need more light during winter months, which are more cold-tolerant and could be placed near windows? And, if you have hoya villosa (or globulosa), please, could you kindly talk about the specific conditions and humidity (if any)🌹 Thank you, Irina

[@적연-y9u]

멋지십니다 아름답습니다 창가에 놓인 식물들에서 주인의 손길이 보입니다 식물들이 행복해 합니다^^

[@priyankakancharla99]

Such a cozy relaxing space :) As I watched you water I realised I put way more for my plants and I have had them for 4 years and they're doing well. Is that the usual amount of water your pour when you water?

[@kristieoblak963]

Loved the tour! I’m an aspiring houseplant gardener.

[@christineulmer8795]

Merci beaucoup pour ce beau partage

[@emilyinthewoods]

Best way to start my day! Beautiful 😍

[@antonenero]

I think your cattleya orchid's is in Bud summer ready to bloom the new growth has sheets🌼🌸

[@melg8475]

You could totally use one of those shephard hooks of some sort for your linearis to hand on the wall right above the window!

[@jomassey4207]

I also love it when plants naturally shingle....you should try that cebu blue. I use a bit of sellotape to start with and let it do its thing. My philodendron brazil has attached to my art studio wall and is truly magnificent!! My micans was doing it too, but I started to feel overrun by plants. Time for a clear out!! My orchids and staghorn are hanging from my fishtail fern tree outside and look quite good. I can move things into my garden where the hot spots are. New Zealand has a variety of seasonal temperatures....I miss not being able to grow tammarillos when I lived in humid Auckland. Loving your cacti and succulents....such a huge collection of aloe.

[@maxW518]

Hello, Why did you not remove the plant from the planter while watering? I always think we need to water until the water is out from the bottom and empty the tray. Some of my plants are very big and heavy. To save the trouble, I use a lot of self-watering planters. I like the way how you take care of your plants.

[@musicalmarion]

Summer did you keep your Brooklyn appartment?

[@Plantlifewithnina]

Loved the cozy video!! 😊

[@dawndawn6946]

I am running out of space for some of my plants that get huge over the summer. When I bring them inside, they take up so much space! What is the best thing to do? My monstera and fiddle leaf fig have suffered the most.

[@rhodealexandre6583]

Hi Summer, where is your Hoya Obovata?

[@sealife13]

Do you stil have the apartment in Brooklyn?

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

I got in a funk and all my plants are dead except a couple

[@anguista]

It happens. Take care of you first!

[@Agape...]

Вам бы очень подошло длинное платье, для завершения чудесного образа в красивом доме, с множеством прекрасных растений внутри и снаружи💕🌷🌿

[@abrachupacabra]

у хозяйки дома более мальчишеский стиль в одежде, к сожалению

[@raselbx]

Cool house. Btw, during which month was this watering done?

[@sophielussier256]

I have tio bring all my plants in also 🙄 I'm in Southern Québec so, same temperature as you.. they look at me like I'm a murderer 😂

[@anthonylewis62]

do you live there now?

[@rhodealexandre6583]

That’s a very small amount of water

[@angela86753]

I love seeing all your houseplants. They look perfect in the Meadow House 🧡🌿

[@michellechapman8738]

Do you have a China Doll plant??

[@jeanneeguizabal471]

💚🌿🧡🌿💚🌿🧡

[@riawhetstone3725]

Could you do a video on diatomaceous earth? Fighting a scale & mealey outbreak 😓

[@lidiajimenez2728]

😊

[@mariagamboa6249]

💚🍁🍂💚

[@abrachupacabra]

Would be great to see some success stories not just watering the plants which are struggling to survive… 🙏🏼🙄

[@lizmorgia4061]

She's been doing this for quite a number of years, she knows what she is doing. And it seems like she is fertilizing them by diluting the fertilizer with water

[@gasperkanoni8838]

😅🫶

[@leecasey8309]

Get over it! opinion (?) Geezz

[@TripleMoon91]

I love all you’re content but I hate to say it but you are showing a bad example of proper watering 😂

[@bobnicholson3087]

Great video I enjoyed seeing all your plants I noticed most of the pots had bonsai soil in them is that the soil you mostly use in your plants and is it good for them? Thank you

[@hollywilson5695]

TripleMoon91 you can’t just leap in and criticize without explanation! Explain “bad example of proper watering” please.

[@TripleMoon91]

@ that’s her job she’s the one showing the video. And I was criticizing anyone 😆

[@kel2880]

i think she was just fertilizing them

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

Remember that the succulent plants like to be a bit root bound. Since you are fertilizing, I would wait on the repotting. Looks like the "plant collecting bug" as taken hold nicely ;-)

[@parsimoniousplantpeep]

You must be new here. She definitely knows what she's doing and has been collecting for many years.

[@SequoiaElisabeth]

@@parsimoniousplantpeep LOL, We all think we know what we're doing. I've been a fan since about 2016. 🙂

[@abrachupacabra]

@@parsimoniousplantpeepand you must be arrogant here 😊

[@leecasey8309]

Generaly pretty sad .. sprinkling water on most of them will do nothing .

[@GreenWitch1]

Agreed

[@GreenWitch1]

@randymarsh1235 So true! They didn’t look healthy at all.

[@shellym79]

I'm pretty sure she knows what she's doing.

[@GreenWitch1]

@@shellym79 Not from the looks of it

[@shellym79]

​@@GreenWitch1 i guess your personal opinion outweighs her degrees from Cornell. Also this is a tour not a care guide. I'm sure the video would have been very long and boring if she stood there and watered each and every one.
