Why Owning Over 100 Houseplants Isn’t What You Think

#HouseplantReality #IndoorJungle #PlantParentStrugglesOwning
Owning over 100 houseplants sounds like a dream, but it’s not all lush leaves and perfect greens! In this video, I dive into the reality of plant parenthood-watering routines that never end, propagation stations taking over, and how quickly they can overwhelm your space. If you’re considering expanding your plant collection, here’s what you really need to know before going all-in.

Even with all the chaos-fighting for space, constant watering, and the endless propagation stations-I honestly love each and every one of my plants (well, most of them, lol). 🌿💕 It’s not always easy, but the joy they bring makes it all worth it. I hope you can relate to this plant parent struggle! Let me know if your leafy babies ever take over your life too! 😄🌱

I can relate. I’m sure I have over 100 house plants. When I started propagating , my thoughts were how happy it’d be to give away the new plants to friends/family. Unfortunately, none of my friends/family appreciate nor care for house plants. So, I’m torn with giving away a well loved and nurtured houseplant to certain death, or keeping it in my already crowded space. 😊

Definitely keep um 😂

I feel your pain 😂😢 It's so tough when you're excited to share your plants but no one else gets it. You're not alone in this! 🌿🌿

Everything you said is so true. I just did inventory and turned out that I only have 149 plants so I have room in my head for more. My family and friends agreed, so they are looking for plants I don't have for me. The apartment is saying otherwise. Table plants definitely have to scooch.

Hi, Nick! Thanks for sharing your plant parent struggles! I myself have recently paired my collection from 60 houseplants down to 25. You're totally right, plants CAN become a burden, so I decided to only keep the plants that I absolutely love and to learn more about them, in order to better appreciate what I already have. Incidentally, your plant architecture videos have helped in that regard! 💕 I would love to see at some point one on the Platycerium or on the Dracena reflexa, if you feel like it. Good luck with your channel and with your plant collection! ☺

Thank you, so much for sharing your experience! I completely related - sometimes less really is more when it comes to plants. I am thrilled to hear that my videos have helped you appreciate your collection! I am definitely loving my Platyceriums right now, and a video on them is coming soon! Your support means a lot and is super motivating. Thanks again! ♥️
