Tools Every Houseplant Beginner NEEDS!

[@Maya-Mayooshka]

If you’re worried about the water wicking out of the terracotta saucer onto your furniture, a great tip is to cut felt floor protectors for furniture and stick them on to the bottom of your saucer. It’ll elevate them and stop the moisture coming into direct contact with your furniture. Love your videos ! ❤️

[@LarissaVeloso-Planttubber]

That's a really good idea!

[@janinebean4276]

I bought like a houseplant tool set from Amazon that had a repotting mat, two baby spades and a hoe, two different widths of bucket shovels, repotting tools, little pruning shears, a brush, an air bulb, and a water bottle with a long bent spout. I’m not quiiite sure what to do with everything but some of them have already proven quite useful! It was like $30 on Amazon for all of those

can we talk about the thumbnail ----- woooooo guuuuurrrrrrl this is noiiiiiiicccceeeeee

[@Meraxeshandler]

I love that the velcro is reusable! It feels so much less wasteful! I save and reuse my grow pots for seed starts for my outdoor plants and rapidly growing props. I use a lot of the plastic saucers during the winter because you can get different depths which makes bottom watering super simple. And gives you more grace if you're top watering.

I literally ooo’ed and ahhh’ed out-loud when I learned that Terra cotta means Baked Earth. 😮

[@rainbomg]

I like to use the lil bulbous POM juice bottles, maple syrup jars (they look like mini jugs) and soy sauce/hoisin sauce bottles look really nice. I sanitize my cutters with those little alcohol wipes for shot prep that you get in the first aid section of a store. It’s like a dollar for a big pack of them, I keep em in my plant tools bin, so it’s easy and I won’t skip it.

9:08 I love how you refused to use the word "moist" 😅😅

[@byg0lly]

yes my plant is regular

[@elizabethgaddis8713]

LOL i thought the same. "Regular" is the best alternative in this situation hahaha

[@PlantWithSophieVlog]

Reuse glass jars are really good in propagating, then you can see the roots growing. I am addicred with white color pots for my plants. Who else is addicted with white colored pots?

[@StitchesbySharonH]

I’ve actually wiped my leaves down with straight alcohol on a makeup wipe pad, especially in the case of mealy bugs. So many great tips! Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴

[@lgarden7086]

I glazed the inside of my terracotta saucers with clear polyurethane and found that to be helpful. Thank you for all your helpful tips!

[@Bondi07]

thank you for the advice and knowledge about plant for beginner🙏☺🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀

[@ashleybrown8047]

My boyfriend got me little baby plant snips for my birthday this year! They are so tiny and cute and work so well on my plants!! (Maybe a little too good because I take so many props and don’t have any room to put them 😂😅)

[@Kelly-th4dn]

I got your book and I love it! The care instructions are straight forward and the pictures are beautiful ^_^ when I was switching from day shifts to night shifts it was a great read to keep me awake!

[@JohnAdams-we9gs]

Great video! Good to see you shook off the bla that attacked you in your last video!

[@murphdawgswizzle]

becca your videos somehow always come out when i need them. i love you !!

[@rhondafisher72]

I always enjoy your learning video's, I can see you as a teacher, but really glad you are doing what you love. Loved it when you found veggies in your garden the other video, it made you so happy.

[@c0ldlight1]

Oh my goodness I’m excited for season 3 of Potted Together!! And this video reminded me that I need to water with the 209 again because I’m slacking and I have fungus gnats again.

[@sherrykumar2883]

I didn’t realize there was an organic systemic! Thanks for the info 😊

[@sarahmeg4811]

I use a large, shallow plastic storage bin instead of a potting mat. It works really well & I can also store a bag of soil and a few other supplies in it!

[@VickyHafler]

I bought three rows of the Velcro…. Who knew it went so far! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I love terra-cotta too, I’m 50/50 with white ceramic and terra cotta. I love the “white” look, so when the terra cotta gets patina I love it. Thanks for the new video 🥰

[@jennifercooper-wilson8969]

Thanks Becca 😊

[@cathanina1]

I use a plastic shoe tray from Ikea for repotting

[@RLAnkrum]

Wonderfully thorough & solid video!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Thank you sm!! 🥰

[@jasminelopez4087]

OMG I didn’t know you moved to Columbia Missouri! I too live here and would love to see your winter routine on how to keep your plants alive.

[@natjoy22]

I am not a beginner, but I NEED your book! :)

[@sej2630]

Thank you so much for providing all of these thorough videos! I appreciate how genuine you are. We had to put our sweet fur baby down in January and the heartbreak was unbearable. We purchased our first indoor plant roughly two months ago..and maybe a few more since..to mend our hearts. Your videos have been so helpful! I purchased your book last week and so excited for it to arrive! 🪴🌱❤️

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

So so sorry to hear of your loss :( Pets home such special places in our hearts. And now plants do too ❤️❤️ thank you for your support!

[@isabelhong6331]

Oh Becca, you magical planty wizard! You have seriously influenced me to invest in all sorts of planty goodies for my plant babies. Love your book! 💚 now I need to buy that sns 209. Thank you for providing links!

[@Sizeinclusiveyoga]

This was a great video!! Do you have a link for that plantfolio you showed?

[@cherylfaulkner7991]

I love your earrings!!

[@Nightmarehoeesz]

I use a plastic ikea serving tray for repotting

[@brookesoltis4537]

Just bought some SNS 209! I’ve been looking for a systemic for my passive-hydro plants 🥳. Thank you!

[@arthurzackaryabrin]

This is perfect! I just started my plant journey a month ago and this is really helpful!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

ahh yay!!! So glad to hear that :)

[@anthonymciver9541]

You give strong English teacher vibe lol 😆

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hahah! I was an English teacher a few years ago so you hit the nail on the head :)

[@avaf1084]

Dollar Tree has great houseplant snips for $1.

[@elizabethgaddis8713]

Diatomaceous earth is also effective against pretty much all pests. I don't think it would damage more sensitive leaves, but I'm not positive. And it's messy and only works when dry, but it's less time consuming lol. I've never heard of the 209 though! That sounds way easier. PS I'm excited for season 3!!! PS for anyone else needing the moisture meter - the link doesn't work, but it does take you to their website and it's under accessories.

[@tracys_plants]

Ooooh. Need a whole video on the sns 209. Do you use it every time you water or on a schedule? Any ill effects on your plants?

[@nataliehale96]

you can use bicarb of soda to remove the rust on your shears just scrub at the rust with it

[@Regina_RockBudgets]

Great tips! Great video!

[@rainbomg]

Rockin dem zenni’s GORL

[@heatherbnice7457]

I just got in two more bags of your soil! 😊. I need the cactus one, is it good for succulents too?

[@BogoljubTeofilovic]

veery educational! :)

[@zanetwiesman9079]

I have a question. People always show or talk about moss poles etc but I am just baffled about how do you attach that thing to or into the pot without damaging the roots? Then if you add the huge pole thing into a medium pot, what and where can the roots go?? I just cannot visualize this.

[@Cbas619]

no watering pot?

[@maricelacortez7]

Me looking over at all my different colored pots and miss matching 🤣😮‍💨 I hate terracota look oh well 😆

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hahaha if that’s your vibe go for it!!!! I support ❤️

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

I use a kitty tray from the 99 😂 talk about cheap 😂🙋🏻‍♀️

[@punjabseth260]

nice

[@lisadevries3225]

I thought you already made a video almost exactly like this one with a lot of the same products… I was excited a new video came out until I was about 1/4 through and it felt like dejavu

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I very we’ll might have 😂

[@awkardbutawesome]

Good luck finding organic systemic pest control products that ship to Europe. It's been a year and I still haven't found one...

[@kendravoracek3636]

💚

[@anthonymciver9541]

Not me watching this instead of doing my apush hw lol

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

LOL! Worst class ever, I feel you

[@Ch33Ch22]

👌🌿

[@jennifer_loves_8766]

I just realize that my poinsettia is infected with whiteflies 😬😬🤨🙄

[@beschall7682]

Just to give something to make you aware although some information provided seems helpful, but I got quite dizzy watching your video as you move your hands and face eyes plus your voice too fast and your topic moving continuously without pause! By the time you finished, I got a big headache trying hard to follow! You need to be a bit more relax and calm as you move along in your presentation … thank you for sharing . Since this is my first time watching your video I would rate it 2 stars out of 5 … hope your video improve as you are going along !!!
