i'm so excited because today i'm going to be giving you guys a tour of all of my plant babies
i know this isn't the typical pet videos that i do but i am uploading this as an extra upload
so i thought you guys wouldn't mind too much
i started collecting plants March of 2020 and
that was when i moved into my condo where i have these awesome, giant windows so that i'm able to
provide all of these plants good lighting, a lot of people don't realize that plants have specific
needs to each different type of plant. A lot of people just think you water a plant and give it
sunlight and that's it when it's not every single plant in here is so different from the other one
some need a lot of humidity some do not like humidity at all some need to have their soil
be consistently moist don't like that word
some prefer to have their soil dry out and be dry for
a while and some need direct sunlight some need indirect so there's a lot of different things
each plant needs
so i'm going to give you guys the tour now i know i have at least over 30 plants but
i don't know the exact number
so first i'm going to show you the plants behind me in this corner
this first plant here is a christmas cactus that was given to me by my mom and uh this
was in a south direct window for a little while so you can see the burnt tips of it but it has come
back with a lot of growth since moving over here
next we have this beautiful money tree as you can
see the leaves are getting quite large. For anyone who buys a money tree like this in the store check
around the base of the roots, sometimes they will have rubber bands that can choke off the plant
and prevent it from getting nutrients so make sure you check and clip that.
Mine and my mothers both had rubber bands on them.
next i have a lipstick plant and this
was grown from a cutting from my mom and i've already actually clipped it to make it thicker
as you can see and uh this yellow thing here is for gnats
next i have two lollipop plants these things grow like weeds um there's baby ones growing out of
both of these pots already i've already given my mom one and she has clipped off three and
then also given it to someone so these plants grow like bananas
then i have a very sad looking orchid
it didn't have the best start of life it was left in a hot car for too long and so it originally had
gotten sunburned and then after that
i had it in a south-facing window and it got sunburnt a bit
but it's actually doing quite well now there's a lot of roots coming in and new leaves that are not
sunburned so it's doing a lot better
i have three plant hangers above me and one of them contains a
spider plant this is a plant that a lot of hamster owners actually put in their cage because it is
safe for hamsters to chew i preferably care too much about my plants and would not like to see
a hamster destroy it so that is why i don't use plants in my hamster's cages.
in the other plant hanger I have this one it's called a
trade-skin-dia? i'm terrible with pronouncing names so
i'll just leave it on screen but it is a beautiful purple pink type of vine um i haven't had the best
luck with it but it seems to be doing decent
and then above me in the large hanging basket, i have
a beautiful hoya that my mom propagated off of her own plant and it is just growing like a weed
to my left of me, i have a west-facing window and in that window, i have three plants
the first one I have here is a rubber plant who has just put
out a brand new leaf for me and that is beautiful
i absolutely love this plant
and then i have an American rubber plant and this actually is
from the same family as the lollipop plants that i have which is really interesting because they look
nothing alike
and then i have my prayer plant this is such an interesting plant and honestly this one
is doing so well it keeps sprouting little tiny flowers which the prayer plant puts out these tiny
insignificant flowers and i keep clipping them because i would rather it put out leaves but it
just keeps blooming
then to the right of me you can see this big beautiful beauty uh this is a
birds of paradise and i'm absolutely obsessed with birds of paradise simply because they can
get as tall as my ceiling and i'm excited for that day
so this one right here is a ginseng
ficus and a lot of people often mistake these for bonsais but if you are in the
bonsai community i think everyone will hate you if you call this a bonsai
then i have a croton? crouton? don't know how to pronounce it
and this one actually had spider mites but it has
regained its strength and it's grown back a lot of its leaves
and then i have a spineless yucca? yucca?
this actually was found in superstore someone had put it in the Kraft dinner aisle on the top and
i snatched it as soon as i saw it
then i have my snake plant here and it is just such a fast grower
i've already split it once to give to my mom but it's just growing so fast
and then i have my baby sun rose
which is growing massive this started out as a teeny tiny plant from a greenhouse
and it's gotten so big i've already clipped it down once but i'm thinking i'm going to clip
it again before winter because it's just it's a monster and i'm sure the roots are
scary looking
in the other corner of the room i have a three-pot hanger and on the bottom
i have this silver sprinkles and this also is part of the same family as the lollipop plants
in American rubber plant
then above that one I have this Goldfish Marlene and i love the backs
of these leaves they're just so pretty
and then at just at the top i have a common ivy
then on my desk I have three plants
I have an orchid that actually is doing well I've already clipped it
back because it stopped blooming for this season
then i have a coleus which really does not belong
on my desk because it really definitely needs more sunlight but it has beautiful watermelon coloring
and it's so pretty
and then in this little bunny pot I have I think it's called Aeonium
and I've absolutely neglected it
over on this side of the room i have another birds of paradise this
is actually in the same pot as the other one but i needed to split them before they
absolutely wrecked each other
and just above me i have a golden pothos and i do have a moss pole
in there for it to climb. If you are a beginner with plants
a pothos is a very good starter plant for you
in this small west window here i have what i recently discovered as a baby monstera de- lo- di-
delotion? plant
originally the greenhouse had labelled it as a philodendron split-leaf which
once I researched a bit about philodendron split-leaves i didn't find that much on them
and most places uh just call these monsteras but the reason it doesn't have its
splits in the leaves is because it is a young monstera and monstera's don't typically tend to get
their splits until they're about two to three years old
then coming into my bedroom this is
where i have my other south-facing windows so a lot of my succulents and cactuses live in here
the first boy i have here is my fiddle leaf fig and this one tried to die on me when i
very first brought him home and i was nearly close to throwing him away and then all of a sudden he-
dripped water on my bed! All of a sudden he grew a million leaves so he has grown about 12 new
leaves in in the summer season as you can see he's pretty big
then next i have my hibiscus and
this one is very sad and very expensive this is my most expensive plant yet i paid 40 dollars um i'm
not good with hibiscuses apparently but i think he's making a recovery so we'll hope and pray
and then i have my little pot of string of pearls and i'm actually very surprised at how fast they
have been growing
so here i have this set of three tiny terracotta pots and these house some
of my succulents that i've grown from a single leaf this one is looking not so great because
he needed some water so i finally watered him today
and then these two here are the exact same
and i actually propagated these off of a friend's plant back in 2017 so they've been really slow-growing
then i have a springtime crassula and this thing is going wild i'm likely going to need to
either split it or get a bigger pot because as you can see it's- it's full.
then we have this succulent
here and actually this was from the mom plant. The mom plant, unfortunately, kicked the bucket
um and she left me with three children so they've actually grown so so much and i love their growth
they've made
next, i have a little bunny ears cactus but this is a singular ear cactus because
he only has one ear currently
then i have a string of buttons i also kind of propagated
the original plant because it was dying but now we have these babies and they're doing so good i
have another bunny ears cactus except this one is got little orange for its spikies and i honestly
have a love-hate relationship with these guys because they stab me
then i have a golden barrel
cactus and this guy's really cool because he's growing a bunch of other tiny cactuses off of him
so i'm going to be loaded with cactuses
i have a perfect example of a bunny ears cactus who
actually looks like a bunny but not for long because he's growing a little friend on his back
then i have a split rock and this guy is super cool looking
then i have a pearl plant
i think this one is getting too big for the pot as well
and last but not least i have two mother
of thousands plants that started off as these teeny tiny babies and i gave my mom some and she
used the soil from her garden and i used potting soil mine started to die while hers was thriving
so i decided to steal the dirt that she has which to be completely honest the dirt that she has from
her garden is like literal concrete it gets wet and then it hardens into a concrete brick
so these plants
thrive in the worst dirt possible
so those are all the plants i have as of right now
i'm scared for winter to come because likely some are going to not tolerate
the conditions but i hope they all survive
so i will see you guys in my next video bye
spikes
there's a fly!
doesn't oh my gosh there's a new leaf coming in
i didn't see that
planter hanger i have a three plant hanger okay
beautiness it's what
