Winter 2024 Houseplant Home Tour

[@geetagssw3343]

Of all the videos I watch online, I resonate most with you. My house and garden is our green paradise in the middle of the city. It's mine and my family's peace and sanctuary. Thank you for being you and sharing your beautiful life with us. Lots of hugs from Zambia

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Oh my gosh, thank you SO much, my friend! Big hugs back! 🤗 (and your house and garden sound amazing!!)

[@KSoul9292]

Absolutely loved every minute of this video. Work has been keeping me so busy and this is the first chance I have had to watch KZbin. Thanks for sharing you houseplants. Your home is beautiful.

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Thanks so much! 😊

Hi, Alex. I usually don't devote 49 minutes to a KZbin video but you are the exception. Not only are your plants lovely and thriving, your collectibles satisfy my aesthetic fascination. Two interests of mine in one fell swoop (plants and objects of interest.) I see you wear shorts in winter. A nod to the attire here in San Antonio year 'round. I have a large calathea prayer plant not thriving well this winter. Any tips?

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Thank you! Shorts in winter….old habits die hard. But also, the pajama bottoms I usually wear are so old and torn that I’d be embarrassed if anyone saw them! 😂

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Oops! Meant to ask about your prayer plant….does it dry out often? Mine has been tolerant of me not watering it as often as I should but I hear they generally don’t like that. If the leaves have crispy edges that might be the issue. I move mine around but right now it’s in a north facing window, so it seems they might like gentle light. Hope this helps!

[@lose999]

@@alexdesignsstuff yes, crispy edges and leggy growth. It was lush but is now spindly. Thanks for the response. p.s. I love your collection of quirky objects, especially the little mushroom sculpture.

[@alexdesignsstuff]

@@lose999 thank you! I love quirky things. I’d guess a possible way to help with leggy growth is moving your plant to brighter light. I wonder if a humidifier might help too. I’m thinking of getting one myself!

Hi Alex, of course I'm watching❤. I'm more than happy to share my orchid rebooting tips with you! My number 1 tip is that the phals do need a bit of temperature drop in early fall. I try to have my grow room around 62 to 65 degrees from mid October to Thanksgiving. This drop normally will initiate spikes. Once you have spiking, you can go to your normal fall indoor temperature. I hope this helps, and I love your collection. ❤

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Thank you so much for the tips, Wanda!! 🙏😊

[@wandashaw3551]

You're very welcome, Alex. And I'm so glad to see one of your orchids re-bloomed for you. 🎉 Congratulations.

[@olr121811]

Wow Alex...49 min. Your coming out of the gate strong. Love it.❤

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Thank you! Turns out, if I’m allowed to ramble I just keep talking and talking. 😅

[@alicjatront6780]

Beautiful plants. There is always a cozy, heart-warmed feel to spaces with plants. Love your chair -- bravo! I would like one.

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Thank you! 😊

[@YerThao-e4p]

You have beautiful plants! I love all your collection!

[@melg8475]

i absolutely love my asparagus fern. it has its own spot so that i can enjoy its simplicity, but i love the way it texture breaks up foliage.

[@melg8475]

i love the white vase idea for the orchid!

[@orangeheart9399]

Beautiful collection. You can always do a reverse google search to identify the plant

Subscribed immediately, such a beautiful plant collection and placements ❤🔥👍🏾👌🏾

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Thank you so much!!

[@Paula-sw2tt]

Most of my moth orchids need cold in December/January to set their flower spikes.

[@melg8475]

The alocasia love a ton of light as long as it's not straight afternoon sun. They can't hold onto more leaves without the energy for them, so you're inkling is correct! Hope it gets more leaves for you!

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Ooh, good to know. Thank you!! 😊

[@VioletGreen-v5s]

Hi just letting you know that amethyst can fade uder growlights as it does when positioned in direct sun

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Oh wow! I had no idea. Thanks for letting me know!

[@melg8475]

water with arber insecticide for mealy bugs as a secondary treatment to the alcohol spot treatment. they also help with gnats and i feel you might enjoy their esthetic. they are an organic option, which is always nice

[@alexdesignsstuff]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the tip! 😊

[@Hiyaaydi]

Thank you for sharing! I love watching your plant set-ups

[@jamiroland698]

I live in Puyallup and struggle with having enough light for my babies, I am new to plants

[@alexdesignsstuff]

@@jamiroland698 yes, it’s hard to get enough light but here, especially in the winter. I use grow lights to keep my plants happy. I have a video about that if you want to check it out! :)

[@debjanibhowmick5870]
