THROWING OUT MY PLANTS

This video is pure perfection: the editing, the snark, the new camera angles, everything. It just seemed like you had a lot of fun making it! I also appreciate you posting on this topic; I wish more people would normalize imperfect collections and purging plants.

I second this! 😊

Yes, more personality and sharp editing.

I love getting rid of clutter and things that just don't bring joy, good for you! My motto is, "life is too short to wear an itchy sweater" and this is the perfect representation of that :)

[@dixiechick6652]

Stop 😅😅 I just did that

[@veraveresk5573]

yesssssssssssssssss :)

[@emilymajeski]

I’m so glad you said this! I live out in rural Illinois, 45 minutes from anything. Any time I’ve had plants to sell or give away on Facebook, people don’t want to come out here! I’ve even said, like, “come to this Walmart at 1pm if you want these plants” and still people say, “oh but can you come meet me here Tuesday at 5pm?” Etc. like nooo I can not spend $125 in gas to run crappy $5 plants all over the countryside. Lol! Sometimes it’s more sustainable to throw them out.

[@msladyjune3285]

I agree. I take to work and leave in the break room. They go quickly. It’s quit a workout to walk with plants and a lunch bag. Just glad someone else will be happy.🪴💚

[@jfuentes9188]

Kudos to you for trying to give them away on FB!

[@LittleQueenie64]

I hadn’t tried fb. Why is it so hard to give plants away?

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Yes! Too much stress AND gas 😪

[@greymomma]

I have people meet me in a store parking lot, not only to save gas $ but for safety reasons. Plant people or not, it's safer to meet in a public and busy parking lot than someone's private home.

[@jaclynsplants]

This was the video we needed! Love how it was filmed and edited. Not to mention everyone needs to be reminded it’s ok to throw plants away! Plant keeping is about enjoyment not stress!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks! And I totally agree!!

[@goingslightlymad7172]

This was so theraputic, Nick. thank you for giving me the courage to purge the sick plants!🥰🥰

Of course! I'm so happy to hear 🥲

The side camera, very nice little detail you've added for that bit of Nick spice we love! Your energy is contagious, I'll be carrying it with me through the day. What a great video ❤

[@marfiofamily4228]

Thank you for sharing this. I have a bunch of plants waiting for me to finally let them go and I’ve been avoiding it because of guilt. Gonna tackle this today!

[@daveoverstreet5148]

The purge will set you freeeee

[@meganwalker27]

I gave away 150 healthy beautiful plants last year, babies, doubles, plants that just didn't make my heart sing any longer - Now it's go time, I'm chucking what ever is left that doesn't make me smile or is giving me problems. I need to help the landfill trash decompose with more organic materials! 😘

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Lmaooo exactly! 😅 That's quite the plant purge!

[@eronhonez]

Aha! Planty KonMari!

[@lynnlambert863]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. I'm doing the same thing with my plant collection and feel good about it. In the past I've always felt sad and guilty throwing away my babies. I am able to compost mine so that makes it a little easier. I can't for the life of me grow philodendrens of any kind so today out they go! Last summer I got rid of half of my hoya collection due to mealy bug infestation. I fought the good battle for 3 years and surrendered. It's very freeing to get rid of the ones that don't bring you joy. Thanks for making me feel better about purging. Love your sense of humor!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Hey, you fought the battle, and that's more than I'm willing to do lately 😅 Thanks for watching!

[@kat1984]

I've been downsizing as well as focusing on the plants that bring me joy. Dracaena + snake plants, oxalis, kalanchoe, aglaonema Siam Red, and orchids bring me the most joy. I spend most of my time in my bedroom, so it's filled with blooming orchids, my biggest snake plant bloomed 2x in 2023, and my Ishida have been in bloom nonstop for a year. I also have my indoor tomato plant that is over a year old and has never stopped producing new leaves and fruit. Purging is hard, but it does open up space and planters.

[@darkartsbyadrienne]

Gurl yasssss!! Saying the stuff no one else admits to! I've been getting rid of stuff that depresses me or makes me anxious, asking the same questions you're asking, "does this spark joy?". No, it makes me sad and anxious and I just don't need that. Thank you so much for making this video!

[@kathrynrobinson670]

That purge was overdue. Your editing was impeccable.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thank you! 🥹🥲

[@pattheplanter]

I would scrub those pots as soon as possible before anything walks away and infects something else. Great video.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Very smart idea!

[@vanessagates7735]

[@NickPileggiPlants]

🥹🥲 thanks!

[@kaylakitty3814]

You have motivated me to look through my plants today to purge those sad, half dead ones as well as those that just don’t excite me anymore. I like the idea of having fewer plants that I will give better care to and appreciate more. Happy New Year!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Right? And now I have a lot more room for more..... 😈

[@AmyEldridge-p9s]

Thank you! I really struggle with this. There was one plant I just hated, but instead of tossing it, I snipped it into 4 cuttings and put them in water. And guess what…I ended up with 4 rooted cuttings I hated!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Lol damn.... 😅 a learning lesson, for sure!

[@danamiceli4948]

It is so cleansing to clear out the plants (or former plants) that bring a frown instead of a smile. Glad to see I'm not alone.

[@1101naomi]

Sometimes after throwing away a plant, I feel bad about it but after two days I’ve already forgotten it. Lol. I guess I wasn’t as attached as I thought.

[@tessie7e777]

Absolutely LOVED your video. Missed Nick’s when he posted, but caught yours. It is definitely this year’s energy to purge stress. Thanks for your support, Nick & Yvette!

[@GrantGreetings]

Yay! So I'm not the only one with dying & dead plants. I think we hang on to them for so long because we feel bad that they died or are dying in our care. We keep hoping to perform a miracle and bring them back to life, but it never happens. I have learned that when a plant doesn't make me smile anymore it has got to go. That just leaves room for those that do. Thank you for this video! You have my upmost respect for your honesty. To be truthful, others need to know that some plants are going to thrive, and some are going to perish. You just deal with it cause you love plants. Anytime you deal with any living thing you take the good with the bad. No matter what profession you're in. Doctor, farmer, and so on. You can't let the sadness take away the joy of loving what you do. It's that simple!

[@miguelvali79]

This is giving me life!!!! Best thing I've seen in a long time. Always struggling to get rid of nearly dead or no longer-in-love plants is so affecting my mental health. Not worth the struggle. Thanks thanks thanks for this content. Just brilliant!!!

[@LittleQueenie64]

You did good! I have so many extra plants because I haven’t thrown clippings away… in the past, but I’m turning over a new leaf! Now I need to purge.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

It's so hard to throw clippings away sometimes!

[@Infrawgnito]

I hear you, Nick! My plants know that they thrive/survive or they're off to the composter. Fussy plants don't even get a three strikes grace in my house. Happy New Year!

[@betsymaltby6788]

Love the purge! Recently did the same and it felt so good...even freed up a few Berg pots as well. How about as a followup video tell us your current favs and the ones that are least susceptible to pests. Simplifying my plant collection brought me joy!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

I definitely want to make a video about plants that I find to be the most pest-free!

[@carolsmith7951]

Thanks Nick, what a relief for you. I've done this now and then and it can be a renewal of the collection and ourselves. Happy New Year 2024!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

[@meganpinero8348]

Yay for plant purges. I usually try to salvage so I can move the plant to semi-hydro without having to wash roots, since I'm an underwater person (what's killed most of mine). Feels good to make space for more things on my wishlist, most of which are types I succeed with more easily. I sell what's healthy that I've lost my love/joy of & cuttings I give away.

[@shischenkredemption8002]

I find this video particularly therapeutic, i think this is my 3rd time watching it. You give me the drive to trash any plants i regularly give the finger to. Thank you sir 🙃

I immediately thought of Katya and Trixie when you said that line..... the croton is now in a better place, thank you 🎉​@NickPileggiPlants

[@mestimac]

Crotons have to be the worst plant to have indoors. I took one in when a friend was going to compost it. It looked stupid and leggy, but I held onto it for over a year out of guilt. Finally threw it out after it got spider mites for the third time.

[@lelfah]

Sooooo leggy, the leaves are gorgeous but its just a leggy, twiggy thing, i also kept mine out of guilt but its a gonner now ​@mestimac

Thank for sharing makes me feel better about the plants I have struggled with and lost

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Of course! 😄🪴

[@roxrey2482]

I threw away my staghorn fern and a goldfish plant after finding them infected with scale. I could have treated them but now that I have a little kiddo it's too much for me right now. It made me sad throwing them out but your video made me feel better.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

You can always start fresh with a new one that won't cause you stress... at first, at least 😅

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks!! I appreciate you appreciating that 😄😂

[@louiseahmedtropicalplantgr5000]

I've thrown out plants that have severe scale and mealy bug infestations. 1 to stop the spread to my other plants, and 2 because I don't have the space to isolate them. I usually chuck them into the green wheelie bin for compost.

[@Learehart]

So sassy today! lol sometimes I keep plants because they are in cute pots, I can appreciate a nice planter!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

💁🏼‍♂️💅🏻💋

[@christmassnow3465]

I get into that situation too. My plants are in the garden. (My climate allows that and my house conditions are not suited - too dark when everyone is out and there is a load of furniture). My garden often looks cluttered if I'm not planning ahead of time where to put plants to be salvaged. Often plants remain in limbo long enough to say "Enough with all that clutter". Most of the time the garden looks fine, with the exception of few pots which lay in "temporary" locations on a permanent basis.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Oh I'm familiar with the permanent "temporary" 😂😂

[@michellecastro2475]

As I'm watching I'm looking at my plants saying who can I combine and who can I get rid of and who has pests. Ty Nick. I do feel guilty when a plant has unloved itself but it is life and just learn from the experience and either try again or don't. I think that's why majority of what I have is snake plants, variety of pothos and spider plants and orchids and monsters delicious and string of turtles and a micans. It's a lot to remember who needs what and when. Now that I mention it. I should write it done. Time to journal in the plant book.😊 Happy new year!!!!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

No need to feel guilty, but I fully understand that! It can be hard to get rid of them sometimes. Happy new year 🪴

What a great way to start the new year, Nick! Out with the old and tired. You are an inspiration. I use one of those same "decision-makers" when I toss out plants. If I can get a new one if I really want it, it's readily available, etc. then I don't feel as bad throwing it away. Sometimes it just has to be done!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Absolutely! Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed 🤗

Great vid. i love a plant purge, my friends always have a go at me but i dont give a toss, when im done with a plant im done. And then i love buying something new.

[@CookieDr007]

I'm about to do this! Also a thing no one talks about it's incredibly difficult to get rid of dirt in the city vs having a big yard to just dump. We had to dig up 6x20 plot in our yard when we moved in because the previous owners never walked their two giant dogs so the soil was urine soaked/nothing grew and it smelled like urea. I had 3 trash cans full, like hundreds of pounds. We had to rent a truck and take to a friend's house in the burbs because it would take years to toss via garbage bags

[@tierrawilliams4849]

Love this video. I don’t feel bad when a purge needs to happen with plants. Working on my own purging. Thanks for sharing

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Thanks! 🪴💚

[@MikeyDonna]

I agree, I do it. No plant is worth keeping if I have to pamper it. A friend of mine had over 100 beautiful plants and was downsizing to a warmer climate a couple thousand miles away. She placed all her plants outside knowing that it was going to be way below freezing at night and told them goodbye. A few days later she put all of them in the trash and put the pots at the curb to give away.

[@debbiefrick4380]

Love this. I have a croton stalk and 2 dracaenas that I keep telling, "Just die already." On the other hand, I have a pretty 2 inch pot with a with a winy green "string" and a small flattened pearl that I keep spritzing on occasion to see if my pearls will return. It doesn't take up much room and I find joy in the hope. LOL. Fun video, Nick.

[@florance17]

I just got rid of a few Alocasias that had spidermites and they kept coming back... I just got so tired of the constant battle and the leaves were starting to look very sad. It felt so good afterwards, like a breath of fresh air, and I collected lots of corms!

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Oh, yay! Not all hope is lost there then. And at least the pests are gone!!

[@jmchatfield1]

I LOVE THIS ❤️ I had a begonia that I struggled with for far longer than was good for my mental health, and when I finally decided to just chuck it in the trash, the giant rush of relief I felt for finally getting rid of it was unbelievable 😊😊😊.

[@joyceforbes2137]

Hi Nick, .. Happy New Year. I too have had some plants that were thriving so l had to throw them away. When you have too many plants in different areas of your home it is some times difficult to care for them. l do a Monday for my bedroom plants, a Wednesday Living room, Friday in Kitchen works, also l cutting down on plants that don't grow for me is key. You had a lot of plants to throw away. but it is for the best, Its nice visiting with you again

[@angelasangels]

I love this. I do this as well. I have one alocasia left and it’s on strike 2. All of my other alocasias are in the landfill. They are the worst. I love your attitude. ❤

[@andreeawhatever]

I have been doing this exact thing for the past couple days! I did chop and prop couple things, but I am not planning on keeping those plants, I'm thinking I will use those props during the upcoming plant swaps in spring. If nobody wants them then, they will go straight to compost. I am also so tired of the vining aroids, I do not want any plant that requires a moss pole, especially things with long internodes. After the pandemic madness of collecting ugly vines that all look the same, I am back to my initial passion for colorful weeds :D (pilea, nerve plants etc). I also feel your pain regarding pests. When you have many plants, pest control can be difficult. I spent a lot of money on predatory bugs during the past year, trying to get rid of thrips. Vining plants look awful once the bottom leaves get damaged and get yellow and die, while things that grow in a bush/rosette shape are much more resilient. Some of my calatheas / alocasias get spider mites every year, but once I treat them they grow new leaves and I can cut the ugly ones and you never know they ever existed. So something to keep in mind - collect plants that don't look sparse when they lose leaves. Also related to underwatering plants - I also occasionally forget to water plants on time, and they end up losing leaves. I am now only potting things based on watering needs. I do not use any terracotta at all, just plastic and ceramic, and if I see a plant ends up underwatered couple times, I bump up the pot size. I am also in the process of moving some plants (eg couple peperomias) to terrariums made in glass containers with lids that I got a goodwill. This is all meant to minimize the damage that I can do with neglect.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

Colorful weeds, I love that! That's my kind of plant 😂 Great tips here! Thanks!

I have a few plants waiting for people to pick up. One friend keeps saying I will be over soon. Not seen them in well over a year hehe. But I don't feel bad for for getting rid of plants if they don't do well. But my rule tends to be one strike and never again. You look way more chilled after each plant. It was nice to see

[@meganwalker27]

It can be frustrating, I had the same issue with people saying yes yes yes I want that it's mine don't give it to anyone else.. and then they never pick them up!

[@pinkdiamond345]

I have had to do this and even though it’s hard I felt better afterwards. And it’s not always that easy to find people to take every frikin plant you need to get rid of. Especially when you need them to go away immediately for your mental health. I think the plant community needs to be more accepting in general.

[@NickPileggiPlants]

All my friends would rather me throw them out then me give any of plants to them at this point 😂😂
