👋 I’m here to watch 70 year old Sherman repotting her beautiful plants 💚

[@oliviaplants]

Me too! I’m hoping I’ll be 70 years old repotting mine as well! 😂

[@debbie7671]

I 3rd that were all going to be in our retirement village jungles watching Sherman showing us the best way to repot our plants on our modified Walker potting tables lol

[@unplantparenthood]

I found my people 👵🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@kpope3996]

Do u know how honest and transparent u are? You say such funny one liners and you just keep moving never stopping to think you made your fans laugh. I want your channel to grow you are so good with sharing your content and again your honesty. Your cramps depression death of plants ones you don't like. How long it takes to grow scams and so on. Please keep planting for us Charmaine

[@cristyandplants]

Charmaine, you're the best! You inspired me to try glass vessels and semi hydro, and it has transformed the way I grow my plants. Yay for Sherman! 🎉

[@cristyandplants]

Also, regarding the trip, I think it's a wonderful idea! You wouldn't be forcing anyone to go, it would be for interested people! I suggest Costa Rica as a destination. I went over the summer and it is the plantiest of destinations. Truly gorgeous.

[@wisconsinaquatics]

Once you step outside your comfort zone you will find new begins and opportunities are waiting for you. About 13 years ago i applied at the local snow blower factory when I was 21 were I became a Powder Painter working on the paint line. I never would've imagined factory work was my gig but here we are and I haven't been happier! Give it a try brake that comfort zone wise open. Follow your heart girl!

[@emilyrustin2231]

I relate to this career talk so much. Everything you said is what goes through my head. Glad to know other people feel this way. It's so hard being an adult.

[@sallyhealey]

I love your long videos so much! They’re definitely my favourites atm along with Ferns vlogs- I just love watching how normal people live their everyday lives.

[@beckycocotas5648]

You talking about cleaning up succulent leafs reminded me of this KZbin channel I like watching called Bonsai Releaf. He transforms bonsais and his videos are so relaxing and satisfying!

[@yororo0820]

The succulent terrarium to no drainage pipeline makes so much sense!! It’s so wonderful to see how refreshing and well-rounded you are as a planty youtuber. This is a wonderful video

[@unplantparenthood]

Stopppppp why are you so sweet 😭 is it possible to love a stranger?

[@quiquiqui]

I dont know if you know, but I love how real, self aware and low key super funny you are!!! :)))

[@unplantparenthood]

🥹🥹🥹 thank you for making my morning with this comment!!!! Idk if you felt it but I just tackled you to the floor with a hug

[@danaghostlaw3322]

😂 I would watch 70 year old you repot plants. I would also be interested in watching a collaboration with you and Fern. 💚💚

[@danaghostlaw3322]

Also, I have a very large rubber tree I wanted to send a picture of, but it would let me.😔

[@ssssundae]

"Respectfully, I find myself to be very annoying" I laughed my ass off at this. Same, girl, I find myself to be annoying as hell. If I somehow hear my own voice in a recording I want to literally fling my computer out a window. On a more serious note, I find it absolutely wild that people think it's "mean" when you respond to haters with the same energy they brought. How is it mean to defend yourself?? Very strange take honestly. Also, I saw that yifang cup that the glad hands was in 👀 Edit: As a personal anecdote, water flossing is a really useful for people like me with TMJ where opening my mouth big enough to floss thoroughly is incredibly painful so usually I just water floss, and then once or twice a week I use actual floss!

[@nuclearrabbit9821]

I live for your genuineness 💚🌿

[@reynagray5110]

Thank you for sharing your talents and wisdom about plants and life. Your content is wonderful!

[@Plantsavvy]

Being who you really are, and showing how you care for your plants that’s what made me hit “subscribe” And I look forward to learning more about the Greenlife you share 🍃🪴🌿

[@leaffuzz]

i love listening to your longer videos while i get ready for bed and start to go asleep!! 🖤super relaxing and keeps the anxious thoughts away!

[@qtleaves6830]

best videos to just sit down and knit 🙏🏻 thanks sherman

[@lisaanglim9588]

I enjoyed the long repot and chat. Can’t wait to see the next one.

[@you_gullible_fucc]

These plant chore vids + the QnA are literally the best types of videos to put on whether I'm doing plant chores, or regular chores, or even just doing other hobbies, please keep them coming

[@Shopgirl2731]

I have it on repeat background at home!

[@unplantparenthood]

Got another one comin this weekend!! 🥰

[@Yoliplanting]

Watching this again to relax and I have to say you would make a great guide to the Amazon basin or to Panama and if you add Alice, Jin and Lauren it would be so much fun💚

[@scottfletcher1956]

Very quickly this channel became my favorite because of these videos. Partly because your cute but mostly because I find it relaxing. I love the long form content videos.

[@seara-beara]

this is exactly what i needed to focus on my homework this afternoon ♥️

[@kaylas2622]

Love the long vids!!

[@Shopgirl2731]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Yay! Obsessed with long vids! So I started to do plant chores along with you and then I knocked over my entire bottle of promix rooting hormone so there is pink powder everywhere 😅. Shits expensive too! Kuds on running again. I’ve just starting my “lifestyle change” and 4 days in, I got my period after 6 months (TMI). Love hearing about your 2023 refresh journey. I’m on my own journey too. 😊. Oh that gladhands glass vessel mix really is a party!!!

[@sprkinles32]

I love your Squami!!! I have a small one in a 4 inch pot, and yours is now my inspiration for him

[@ididit36]

The Dracena Marginata was one of the first plants I bought and I was just looking at it last night. My stalk is really growing I can’t wait for it to be a tree.

[@gingercaudill4513]

I ❤your style and I am an old woman rock n roller, love your rock T-shirts and I am learning so much about plants by watching your videos! I am very new to actually wanting plants in my life, everywhere all the time! You have a beautiful spirit and keep on keeping on!!

[@MugethiGitau]

The shelf with longer internodes is sending me 😆😆😆 Also re: matching energy, that's that Libra ♎ energy, come through 👏🏾

[@a.girl.has.many.plants3743]

OMG!! We are “weird sound sisters”!! I hate it when my friends drink anything while they’re on the phone with me it’s sooo disgusting, it infuriates me!!🤣

[@lauramorales2927]

Thank you for standing up to the trolls and bullies! I know everyone says to rise above, but there are just some people that need to be called out. Constructive criticism and verbal abuse are not the same thing! Tolerating it only breeds more of it and I appreciate you ❤

[@nikkiheeftplanten]

Love u and ur long ass vids ! Also u got me really excited about plants again ( like at the start of collecting my passion for houseplants was never gone ) bc of the glass no drainage stuff and just a new world opened for me with more thing to try ❤❤❤❤❤

[@cristyandplants]

Same!!!

[@unplantparenthood]

this makes me so happy to hear 😭 thank you for sharing that with me 🩵🩵

[@lookinright]

I love your story times❤

[@joanvelasco2465]

I love long videos of Sash back to back videos. I’m just gonna wash dishes and listen to your voice. Omg so secksiiii 😂😂😂 LOVE YOU!!

[@jccn1728]

Also is on my wishlist!! I need friends like your 😂😂

[@cannuck3577]

That Albo in soil turned out absolutely 💯 👌 gorgeous.

[@jpgypsyxo]

1:29:38 I wish I could attach a photo of my yucca for you!! I rescued it from my moms, neighbors trash! It was sooo rootbound, busting out of the pot! It’s so beautiful now and it’s got sooo much character. I love it! Ps. Love your content (it’s so comforting and natural to me, like I’m just sitting and chit chatting with a friend) and can’t forget lol pudgie pie!❤I’ve learned all I know about semi hydro/no drainage from you! So thank you!

[@debbie7671]

Omg dry socket is the worst! I had it for days thinking the dentist broke my gaw lol, but when I finally went back to my dentist he packed it with deer something I don't 100 percent know what its called, but it was like night and day..... the pain was instantly gone. So definitely ask your dentist about it

[@jorlandia4363]

Love a long Saturday video. You could start small on the trip thing, a botanical garden for a weekend trip would be fun. I would totally buy a shermanator anthurium

[@newleafvibes]

Don’t be so hard on yourself, gurl. I like the way you talk; you seem really genuine and real. And at least you don’t always have the exact same inflection pattern in every sentence like some people. That’s drives me absolutely insane 😂 Clap back to hate when it’s deserved, but I’ve learned to just not even give those people the time of day. It’s too shit for my mental health to give it any energy. Check their attitude and then ignore for your own sanity ✌🏻

[@riritful]

Thank you, yes, I’m half way though my plants chores😂

[@par3433]

Wait a second… are you telling me Vince ISNT a model?! Now that’s some injustice

[@tynatheunicorn]

the veitchii shrine behind you 😂😂😂

[@unplantparenthood]

Me: UGH I don’t have anymore space for plants / veitchii: um 🧍🏼‍♂️

[@lleo9703]

OMG Dry socket! Had it when I had 5 wisdom teeth removed (all at the same time) The side with the two, got dry socket. When I woke up crying and in pain the nurse told me to shut up and stop acting like a baby. I was 18! It was awful! Sorry you had to go through that with your dental experience! Love your repot& chat videos!

[@Universityofjamon]

I would definitely watch 70 Y/O Charmaine lol

[@zandrawostel3765]

Loved the video. Also loved the story regarding your teeth. I'm 61 and just had my first wisdom tooth removed today so I'm sitting here watching your video and I'm at the part where you are talking about your teeth. I'm in pain and totally get the "DO NOT TOUCH MY TEETH".🤪

[@leis.6701]

Watching here in Manila, Philippines. I love ur videos, more of realtalk compared to others out there . Learning also not only about plants but about life. Looking forward to more videos and yes , I'd still be here to watch a "senior Charmaine" .😊👍🪴

[@anythinggoesc33j4y]

My Peeps!!! Subscribed!

[@tattedkc16]

You're awesome 😂💚

[@Kim-ts8nq]

Can you please explain with Anthuriums why it matters which one is the seed and which one is the pollen parent? Will the babies take on more characteristics from one or the other? Thanks

[@gforgarden]

Lots of hard work there

[@SuperUsername147]

Okay but I got one would love to see 70 year old Charmaine and Alice still doing tortilla slap videos. 😂

[@ibsunshinesu6011]

Thank you for another enjoyable and informative episode 🤍 can you touch upon, how you water tree fern fiber?? I know you prefer to work with dry. Albeit dusty. It’s not messy. So how do you gauge watering vessels w tree fern as primary substrate … by touch? Sight?

[@lisaanglim9588]

It’s still cold in oregon. We’re still getting new flurries down low in the valley hills and some places in the higher areas above the valley floor.

[@MC-zg8ch]

I work as a nurse. I truly feel like I’m annoying and being out the irritation / annoy others… I’ve just accepted it because this is just me & im trying my best 😢

[@margimorris7360]

Hello. I have just found your channel. It saddens me to hear that people even think they have the right to put someone down/ criticise for how they plant plants, what is the world coming to. At the 1hr 40 mark you plant with soil in a non draining glass vase. Not sure if you have covered how you water, how much etc what fertiliser you use for semi hydro, soil or tree fern fibre but would love to see you do a video on covering all of that. I have been doing semi hydro for six months, still so much to learn. PS. Haters are just angry people who can not deal with their real issues and take it out on others, sad but true

[@Howle250]

I don’t like Hoya flowers either I also don’t like just the vine no leaves thing too I think the vine will come and get me lmao!

[@liselyngasprestmo2456]

Yeyyy 👏👏👏

[@LordanJauzon]

I ordered TPS Billions here to Ontario, Canada and it was held at customs until I could get TPS to provide me with a "revised customs invoice" and once I emailed that over to FedEx, it was released to me! No extra charge. Took about a week.

[@PetraEmmy]

You are an incredible human.. Thank you for these longer, personal videos. 💚🌿 Hi Pudge 🐶 Hi Vince ☺ I appreciate you not having a patreon because I feel bad that I couldn't support you..

[@marymorris9421]

🌵

[@mayahs792]

Great vid as always! I might have missed it, but was curious why you planted your El choco as a crawler? I thought they were climbers? Thanks x

[@unplantparenthood]

Hi maya! They are climbers, but since it already had a crawling pattern to the leaves I decided to just plant it that way to see what happens! It’s already starting to push roots from the top and root into the substrate which is kind of exciting. I’ve also seen some hobbyists make crawlers climb poles, so I figured it might work the other way around 🙂

[@mayahs792]

@@unplantparenthood thanks for taking the time to reply. That’s actually a really cool idea! You’re right, I’ve seen crawlers get trained to climb but not the other way around. Really looking forward to updates on this! Btw, I love your lazy moss pole idea, got some of my Philos to really size up that way! I’ve shared your pole tutorial vids in a lot of my FB plant groups! X

[@cannuck3577]

Where did you get that plastic container that you put the El choco red in? It looks awesome 👌 👏

[@unplantparenthood]

I’m sorry this is so late, but it’s just a storage bin from muji!

[@futuroid]

Omg have you tried the Waterpik to CLEAN ROOTS?! It’s kind of incredible..

[@damarisvega865]

I got double dry socket after 4 wisdom teeth were pulled 😭😭 they got infected too… I never went back to that dentist. It lasted almost 1 month. I lost like 15 lbs bc of it

[@bellauncensored8834]

Innas is expensive and you get a small bag. If you are in the US a good option is DD’s plants. She’s a lechuza trusted reseller. I don’t know if she ships to Canada though 😔

[@katiewilliams9273]

OMG I know how you felt with the dry socket. I got it with a root canal also and it kept coming back like three times. I wanted to die

[@plantypittsburgh]

Someone tell me which KZbinr was passive aggressively attacking in their posts. Every time they bring this up I get so curious. 😆

[@dezeraysantiago8496]

Where did you get both long vessel in the video?

[@lisaanglim9588]

Go to your dentist and have them tell you exactly what would happen. During the procedure and answer all your questions. Make an appointment and just talk with him.

[@plantypittsburgh]

Also, I need some more plant tubers to follow. Can somebody comment with their faves? I really like Charmaine, Fern, Alice, Nick Alexander and Kill This Plant. The last two don't post often though and actually, I don't think Alice posts much either. My planting style just doesn't mesh well with Becca. I really like Sean in Indonesia (but not super relevant lately) and pretty in green. For some reason, I need more plant content...I always play someone while I'm doing plant chores. 🤷‍♀️

[@digitalwindowz]

Try Only Plants. He lives in Indonesia and is very close to the growers and innovators there.

[@margaretcalifano1617]

Pete vs Plants is a hoot

[@Eileen-xk6wt]

Some other channels you might like: The Leca Queen, Benjiplant, The Swedish Plant Guys, Sydney Plant Guy, The Jungle Haven, Pretty in Green. (and yes, I watch too much KZbin!)

[@plantypittsburgh]

Thank you!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Is it wildfern that you’re sending the esqueleto too?

[@saraialegria]

I got dry socket after my wisdom teeth removal and sat at work with my head on my desk until I couldn't handle the pain anymore. I very much dislike dentist visits. I can't believe your dentist was watching TV while doing work 😬

[@natashaoreilly7072]

I would die for the Sp silver angel. That has been on my radar for eons 😂 Please tell us how you met Amanda!! 🤍

[@1293jessica]

pinoy gang💯

[@lookianna1]

Ok, so I don't know how you find yourself annoying, I really like watching your videos, I like your voice (besides your content), it gives me calm vibes. I understand you though as I cannot pronounce correctly the R and I hate hearing my registered voice.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Patreon is for people who want extra videos and a chance to talk with you or get some Planty advice. No one would be required to sign up for patreon if they want. I know I’d sign up

[@katiewilliams9273]

Have you heard anything about mico needing to be in dark or is it ok to be in a see thru container? I know this is random but your the first person I thought of that would know the answer

[@unplantparenthood]

I believe there are so myco that needs to be stored in a completely opaque container, while others like great white, can have something a bit more see through but not 100% clear. I would just follow whatever the original package is! (For example: TPS billions comes in a completely dark bag so I don’t store it in a container that allows any light in) I hope that makes sense!

[@blahglklsk3051]

please do an entire anthurium collection

[@vibe3339]

I like longer videos. So I can do something boring beside them and hear what are you telling us. :)

[@hottropic9479]

I’ll watch you when you’re 70. I’ll be like 75, so perfect, lol

[@lisaanglim9588]

Aren’t Dean mcdowells supposed to crawl?

[@lisaanglim9588]

Can your family buy it for you and mail it too you? You either reimburse or send money ahead.

[@YellowPineappleHoyas]

There is nothing wrong with the way you speak, sound or look. I will say having a massive blood clot with no pain management is the worst pain i've experience and it went on for over a year and hasn't ended. I'd take dry socket over my clot and the pain that have happened as a consequence

[@lisaanglim9588]

We hen I first started my Planty page I would go on people that I was following and told them I started a Planty page and would they follow me. I got a number of them started following me.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Why is that one lonely plant all alone in the cabinet?

[@lisaanglim9588]

You have influenced me in the plants I want to the other KZbinrs I follow. But I’ve never paid for advice from someone.

[@judithmoran9777]

What is the name of this plant?

[@lisaanglim9588]

A big box

[@Rudy_Lucia]

i went through the same thing with being filipino and the culture wanting you to be a nurse 😂

[@matthiaslow8533]

Interesting...

[@arihikes]

Slug plants, trying to find the KZbinr, can you clarify please!?!

[@unplantparenthood]

Hi!! Everyone i mentioned is linked in the description 💗 (slugg plants is James Armstrong)

[@arihikes]

Thank you!!! Love your content! Please never stop the long vids! Totally love that you grew up in SJ, me too, im still in the bay! ❤ Lucas is delicious lol

[@ronjakh]

I don't find you annoying at all! I also think that women get more hate. If you're a woman who is good at something, you're knowledgable about a certain subject, stick your head out, dare to be different, don't take shit...I think people don't like that.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Your “s” sound like “s”.

[@arkendubanerjee5218]

u r too adorable to be hated

[@charmainerichards6801]

Hey Charmaine it’s me Charmaine, thank you I enjoyed 👏🏼awesome infro u killed me when u said don’t look at your camel toe and I’m like what camel toe or when you show that little tiny of perlite with the root going through and it dropped out your hand I was rolling 🤣😂 video ended Saturday night 12 midnight for me nyc🇹🇹👒🧤
