[@silviazepf5702]

could you do a video about how you use calmag and for which plants? would love to know more about that! 🥰

[@PlantedinPlatinum]

Glowing and thriving 🥰🥰 It’s fun to see the behind the scenes of the NST lives - thanks for the coverage girlie 💚

[@lisaanglim9588]

My rhipsalis is starting to push out new growth after the winter stoppage. It’s nice to see it starting it up again.

[@cristyandplants]

The closet looks so organized!

[@carolstuff]

Good vid. Thanks for spending the week with us!

[@sikateako]

Pudge is soooo kyooot. Those expressive eyes 💚💚💚

[@Yoliplanting]

The Esqueleto with that adorable mushroom 🍄 on the pole did me in♥️

[@lisaanglim9588]

I’ve like this video. I did some chores through the beginning then sat and watched the rest. I played games for a while then came back to comment. You know I can’t not write comments. lol 😂. Thanks for listening to me.

[@harestyles]

Rewatching because I need my Charmaine fix! I hope you, Vince, Pudge, and Archie are doing well!

[@lisaanglim9588]

You brought it home. It’s a beautiful plant. I like anthuriums that have silver veining and in this one I really like the patterns of the venation.

[@lacieplants]

I learned recently that circles.. specifically concentric circles on plant leaves is typically viral. might be something to check into, for your spotty plants. Love the video!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Can’t wait for part 2

[@Shopgirl2731]

Queeeeen! Here. Great to do whlle I’m sick and saves me from spending money too haha.

[@unplantparenthood]

Omg I feel like everyone is sick right now!! I hope you feel better soon 🥺

[@Shopgirl2731]

@@unplantparenthood thank you 😌 Wth…. That cactus name 🤣 that’s even longer than super calla fragil….

[@lindaedwards4632]

Whoa, doing the living room shelves is a huge job 😀🇨🇦

[@tim_meister]

Hello, I'm struggling with my anthuriums right now too. I get the same spots as on your waroq esmerelda on some of my anthuriums. Right now I have one waraq in a grow tent in semi-hydro at 70% humidity and 80 degrees f. Another on in tree fern aroid mix in room conditions (75f, 30% to 60% humidity). And one in a clear storage box in my basement under grow light, so 100% humidity and around 70f. I cant really tell right now which is doing better since they all basically lost all there leaves and are growing back, but the one in the grow tent is doing the worst, I think because either the temperature or because its sitting in water. The one in tree fern mix is just growing back and hasnt shown any leaf spots yet so crossing my fingers. The one in the basement is also growing back but gave me a perfect (tiny) leaf so Im just going to leave it and see how it goes.

[@Mandi_Hui]

I hate Facebook Marketplace aswell i have literally given up on it. I don’t understand why either they don’t read the descriptions. I have downsized alot of plants more easy going ones. Another reason i don’t collect Aroids cause of the maintenance and hate moss poles too. I like growing plants that suits the aesthetic of my home. You will be a great Mum and great parents. I have alot of experience and knew what i was going to expect cause i looked after young children since i was 18. Also being a Mum you will always have this connection with your kids cause you gave birth to them. Also the love you have for them as soon as you give birth is hard to describe it from day 1. You feel your heart want to explode is very overwhelming. I feel son’s attach to their mums more and daughters with their dads. But the love between a Mum and Daughter is always connected. As i never really felt close to my Dad compared to my Mum.

[@sofiafortuno836]

aww the new diabloense leaf looks like a fennec fox!!

[@ginagutierrez5191]

Off topic in some of your older videos I've seen you use a metal stick to scrape off your plans to be clean. Do you mind telling me what that thing is called? Would gladly appreciate 😅❤

[@sinas.5910]

Its an ear wax scraper

[@lisaanglim9588]

Get a string of pearls. You’ll love it. Let it dry out then water it. If the mine sits on the window sill of the west facing window. It gets full sun from about 2 pm on. And it grows like crazy.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Yes they’re pretty easy if they don’t have colic. But once they can roll over you have to start watching them. Long before they walk or even crawl. And when they can roll both ways, then they can move quite fast.

[@kirstenerickson5063]

2:13:26 the cutest little smile ever☺️

[@lisaanglim9588]

Someone else I follow alternates marphyl with fertilizer and you alternate fertilizer with cal mag. What is the better thing to alternate with fertilizer. What are they each good for? 😊

[@cristyandplants]

I am soooooo excited to watch this! yayyy🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lisaanglim9588]

That diabloense (I probably spelled that wrong) has really cute leaves.

[@cindyleblond182]

Love Pudge❤

[@lisaanglim9588]

I think that silver venation would be really pretty as long as it kept the same pattern of the venation.

[@PetraEmmy]

Sending you a gentle hug.. 😔❤🐾

[@lisaanglim9588]

Aren’t Dean McDowell crawlers? Does it need an oblong pot?

[@Kvikurten]

58:25 I don’t know why, but your “handling the penis” had me laughing so hard 😂😂🤣🤣

[@lucasvermeulen4454]

Hi. Ur appearance is changing, its clear ure becoming a mom! ❤🎉 Thank you for the vid.

[@unplantparenthood]

🥰🥰

[@lisaanglim9588]

The no id plant is cute. Weird but cute 😊

[@JohnnyWin]

Your plant shelf is so pretty. So many different textures and shapes. I love it!

[@unplantparenthood]

Thank you so much!

[@marymiller5824]

Where do you find the large glass vases?

[@unplantparenthood]

Thrift stores and the dollar store usually!

[@Proud3628]

Where did you get the shelf unit???

[@lisaanglim9588]

Can you treat for spider mites with solution of water 99% alcohol and Castille soap on a velvety plant? My fuzzy feather leaf calathea I saw a spider web between a couple of leaves and it looks kinda sad. So I want to treat it but I’m worried about the fuzzy leaves.

[@lisaanglim9588]

Do you really want or need that many seedlings. Especially at this time in your life. Maybe you can share custody of them with Alice.

[@lisaanglim9588]

What does it do if you add fertilizer to a non growing plant?

[@melanieg.9092]

Yay! Just started watching but I bet it'll be great!❤

[@unplantparenthood]

Thanks for watching Melanie! ☺️

[@coffee2962]

Yay new video Have a great next week Charmaine 👍❤️

[@unplantparenthood]

I hope you have a great weekend/week also!! 🥰

[@coffee2962]

@@unplantparenthood thanks 🙏 Definitely will try! ❤️

[@lisaanglim9588]

That’s a pretty plant. Get the plant.

[@vixistixi]

As soon as you baby is born you would die for him!!! As for bonding-don’t feel bad if you think you haven’t! It’s normal not to ‘feel’ it, but it’s deep in your core! Sometimes you may think your baby hates you & you haven’t a clue how to make him content but that’s fine too-you 3 need to get to know how to be a family xxx you’ll be just fine! Xxx

[@cannuck3577]

Is it possible those spots are from your alcohol and essential oil concoction? Tiny drops of oil might lose colour in the light?

[@unplantparenthood]

I thought it might be, but a lot of plants I’ve never sprayed before (especially new emergent leaves) also have it. I’m almost certain it’s something fungal and I’m not even surprised because fungal things always seem to find my anthurium 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m cursed!!

[@cannuck3577]

Aweee you're not cursed hon you're doing the best you can. Listen to your body though if it says it needs then sleep... I would love to buy you something for the baby...or towards a gift. I wish you could open your registry to us ❤ Please ❤️

[@unplantparenthood]

you're sooo sweet!! please please PLEASE don't feel obligated to get archie anything, but here is my registry! www.amazon.ca/baby-reg/charmainevince-varona-june-2024-newwestminster/10EPEC2ZMWU5O 🥺❤

[@ladreys3134]

I've been watching you on KZbin for like 4 months now and, I really like your style an you give me motivation to strive in this plant journey 😊

[@unplantparenthood]

Aww thank you so much for being here!! I’m so happy you’re getting something out of the videos 🥹🤍

[@melanieg.9092]

Just got done watching while doing some plant stuff ✨👌 My begonia rex was not root bound but the new leaves didn't have any room to spread so I seperated it into 3 pots 😅 Now will rewatch and then await part 2!! 🎉

[@unplantparenthood]

Begonia struggles!! That’s why I only own one now- can’t keep up with the growth 😆

[@ThatGirlShelbyy]

I wonder if there's maybe a vent near that area with the woman's perfume... it could be coming from another unit nearby if there's a vent maybe close enough. Some older women go HEAVY on perfume, plus the pregnancy smell might add to it!

[@unplantparenthood]

That’s what I was thinking but we don’t have any connecting vents that I know of! And the only vent in the area is actually an exhaust fan that goes straight outside 🫣

[@YellowPineappleHoyas]

Do you work for North Shore Tropicals?

[@unplantparenthood]

I do! But usually only once a week.

[@joannel1548]

Hi Pudge! We've all missed you ❤

He’s missed being on camera I think 🥹

[@margimorris7360]

Maybe you have a great grand mother visiting. Ask your mum and dad if either of their grandmothers wore perfume

That Billie is in a tiny pot.

[@newleafvibes]

Rylands hair is so freakin cool!

[@Dieppaloveplants]

Youuu look soo gorgeus cute and glowing with your belly ❤❤❤🚼👶🍼🤰

[@MarisaTerres]

You may not immediately bond with your child. I didn't feel any overwhelming feelings right away but of course I loved mine and wanted to care for him right away.. the bonding came over time but was quick, like days. :) don't try to hold yourself or your experience to any standards.. things will happen, if they are meant to happen, whenever it's right for you and Archie.

[@lisaanglim9588]

You will instantly love him but sometimes bonding takes a while. I had a raised temp so I couldn’t have my baby brought to me. Until the day they said I could leave. They brought her bassinet with a baby In it and had to diaper and dress this stranger. But I loved her immediately so I was able to take the time to bond. My dad gave me some advice that helped me. So don’t feel bad if you don’t bond immediately.

How far into your pregnancy are you now? You look great, mama. Hope you feel great too 😊

[@unplantparenthood]

Aww thank you!! I’m 26 weeks now. 😮‍💨 glad to be out of the nausea phase but man this kid is getting heavy!

[@lisaanglim9588]

Why are you wearing a mask but only keeping it under your chin. It won’t protect you from anything that wzy.

[@unplantparenthood]

I was only wearing it when I was near Alice because she was recovering from Covid

[@melanieg.9092]

Same as @Anah-B for Archie (or McDonald's)

[@unplantparenthood]

Thank you Melanie 😭🩵

[@vibe3339]

Wow you are in the 5th month? My belly looks like yours as my baby was born. 😮 as I was pregnant I thought the opposite about the baby in my belly. Your lil alien is the closest person to you that can be in this world. It is literally the combination of you and your husband. What you do like, he/she will like. My daughter is now 1,5 years young and she is copying everything we do. For example she like to eat (now)what we eat. Like the stuff that we like. I always think, she is like a lil running copy of my boyfriend. But she looks in many ways like me. If you hold your baby the first time its like the world stand stil. There is just you and this lil piece of you. (And now, when I remember on this moment in my life, I have to cry. Because its just so magical.🥹(you make literally a human with your body!🎉)) You dont have to be scary about your lil cutie. No one else in the world comes closer to you, in mind and body. (Hope you can understand what I mean, I am german and not a pro in english.😅)

[@nekomantress9273]

Primitive animalistic instincts to procreate are the most disgusting shit that is ever to be, not mentioning the outrageous amazement over a cursed xenomorph developing and slowly turning into a parasite that some humans decide to be forever. Hold on, I need to throw up.
