hi everyone it's marianne and for today's video let's do some plant chores together
thank you so much for joining me today and yeah so today's video is going to be a series of plant
chores first we're gonna check in on some of my plants that are in my ikea greenhouse cabinet
some of them do need pruning and we're gonna have to water a couple of plants that are due for
watering as well as fix the mini greenhouse that i just got um a part of it got broken i'll show you
later and we're gonna fix that and then i'm going to share with you a plant haul yes i bought some
plants recently and some plant supplies for an upcoming plant project so i'm going to show you
what i plan to do give you a little preview maybe create a sample and in a future video
i'll be doing the entire project with you together that's what we're going to do today but before we
get started if you're new to my channel hi my name is marianne welcome to my wasteless life
where i take you along my houseplant journey and share with you some of my tips and tricks
along the way i also create lifestyle content that is focused on sustainability productivity
and wellness and also share with you some of my personal and travel vlogs here and there
so if those type of content interests you please don't forget to subscribe to my channel before
the end of this video and also like this video and comment down below i would love to hear from you
but yeah let's go ahead and get started okay so let's go get the monstera standleyana albo
that right there is why it needs pruning because the last two leaves that it put out
it was not variegated okay so there's not going to be much into it these are the two leaves that
just have green variation on it and i am going to try to cut it right below the node which is
right here and let's do it one two three oh there we go so she still looks good and she's going to
be fine and this is the cutting that i cut and as you can see it does have a little bit of aerial
root already showing trying to attach itself to the like a pole as it girls so with this one i'm
just going to let it callous and then i'm going to water propagate it maybe also use sphagnum moss
because i recently got sphagnum moss i'm gonna show you later but yeah but i'm just gonna let
it callus for a bit first before i do anything to it but it is a beautiful leaf look at that
see it's very pretty and i don't need to change the water i just did change the water the other
day but i'm going to miss the poles over here just to encourage the root growth
into the LECA as you can see it doesn't really need the velcro tape anymore so i'm taking it out
so here i'm just gonna spray the LECA pole so that it has moisture i do need to refill it
soon and spray the leaves as well this one is ready to go back so she is back there she's
gonna do fine this one is doing fine this one is doing fine here everything does need to be watered
and so are the plants up here so let's collect the plants that need watering
string of turtles definitely the shangri-la pothos definitely the my kids are recently
watered as well as the catastrophes so no need for that and the syngonium confetti definitely needs
watering as well as the watermelon peperomia but since this two have their cache pots and they all
have their self watering wig what i'm going to do is refill the water inside their decorative
pot or cache pots and water them like that and this too probably also need watering but i'm just
going to pour water directly on top since they also have their decorative pot slash cash bows
but yeah so let's go ahead and water this ones so i also added some plants from the
mini greenhouse because i noticed they also need watering and i also saw that my silver
lady has pushed out a new leaf and it's so beautiful so yes let's go ahead and water them
and then wash the leaves
and then i'm just going to put our dress on the tray so that they can continue bottom watering
there you
home for go while let me feel the light
nothing to hold me back take my time just enjoy the pride
i know my passing by life is good best i've ever felt
so for this three the cebu blue pothos definitely need watering i'm gonna bring them down
the manjula pothos it still has a little bit water in it but i'm just going to refill
it anyway since i'm bringing it down the cebu blue pothos anyways this one is not really true
until the end of the month it has a week to go so i think i'm going to leave it up there
my it is currently raining so i just brought them out so that they'll get watered and some
rain water accumulated on a couple of my watering trays so i'm just placing the thai constellation
monstera right here and i'm bringing out the ficus audrey next and placing it in this one
this fiddle leaf fig definitely needs watering as well it is trying to grow a new baby fiddle
and the top is not looking so good because the leaves are crisscrossing as it tries to go
as it tries to grow new growth so you can see this one i might cut them off because
they're not looking too good anyway but we will see what happens when they mature
so here's my mini greenhouse and if you see any fingerprints or dirt sorry about that we will
clean it after i fix it so what's broken is this lid part and as you can see this one has been
detached from this and what happened was because i like to open this in the afternoon especially when
the sun is hitting directly the mini greenhouse it gets very foggy so i kind of like want to let
air in and i will leave it open like this but i guess this one is too heavy for the handle
and it kind of broke off so i could glue it back welding it back would be much preferred but that's
something that i'm not capable of doing right now so i'm just going to try to glue it and i got this
from target yesterday which is equivalent of e600 it even says like it's like e600 so hopefully this
would work it just says it works on metal glass etc so hopefully this would work so let's go ahead
and do it so i guess it's going to be like when i put lashes on or when i put press on nails on
so it says to put the adhesive on both surfaces that needs to be partially glued so i'm putting
it here and then kind of let it dry for about two minutes before joining them together so that's
kind of like a bit of a long time but oh i think that's a little bit too much we're just letting
the two pieces dry for two minutes kind of like a long time but we're just gonna trust the process
okay that should be enough time i'm just gonna align them together yep and it is tacky i'm
just gonna let it dry i don't know overnight before i put it together or at least a few hours
so for the last part of this video let me share with you my plant haul and talk about the upcoming
plant project that i am doing so a part of this plant project is me getting new plants
and the first one is peperomia i'm not exactly sure what the
name of this pepperoni is but as you can see it looks very similar to my watermelon peperomia
but the leaves are a little bit more elongated and there are several plants in here and one of the
big reasons that i picked this out because it will go really well with basket of syngonium and this
one is a really full basket as you can see also lots of plants in it that i can use for my project
so what is this project that i'm talking about and it involves this terrarium kit that i got
from joann crafts and i forgot like nine of them because they were on clearance and i'm using them
to create centerpieces for my dad's upcoming birthday here's the content of the terrarium
kit and essentially what i'm really paying for really is just this glass bowl and you might
think why not just buy like bulk glass bowls on amazon or elsewhere they're very expensive
even individually so this one discounted is about nine dollars it's still a bit pricey if i can find
cheaper ones between now and by the time that i actually need to do the center pieces which
is not a lot of time because the event is in three weeks so then i would like exchange it
for that but i do want to do a sample with this one and see how it looks like at first i want
to use succulents on it but i would need a lot of succulents to make it look really good and not too
simple and succulents can get very expensive as soon as i've seen in my plant shopping video even
wholesale they're pretty pricey so i'm thinking of just using foliage and also with foliage it would
add more height and more volume as opposed to just using succulents and with the plants that i think
this one and the syngonium i do think they go really well and what i did learn from i think
it's either planterina or nick pileggi if you are going to make a plant arrangement you need
three plants at the very least a high plant which would be this one a low plant and a trailing plant
i didn't get a trailing plant because i do have a lot of trailing plants in my plant collection
that i could get some plants off to add to this plant centerpiece that i'm trying to make so i'm
just gonna pick off from my collection instead of buying a third plant plus when i was at home depot
and lowes yesterday i didn't really see a nice trailing plant that would match this peperomia
and with this single new but this division i don't know how well it would work that's why i want
to create a sample first before i make a final decision so i'm gonna see if i can do that today
with you so with the terrarium kit what it comes with aside from the bowl is it came with some soil
and some of this white gravel which is not going to be enough for what i need to do
that's why i've gotten additional supplies so first i've got well i got some moss that i may
or may not use for this project but i actually bought this for another project that's coming up
so watch out for that and this is the one that i do intend to use for the
terrarium slash plant arrangement centerpiece which is spanish moss i also got this
this one is five pounds and this one is five dollars the spanish moss was around three dollars
and this one was around five dollars as well and then at target i got this black pebbles lowes also
had them but they didn't look good so even though the lowes or the home depot one is much cheaper
i went with this one this is ten dollars i got two bags of it i don't know if i'm gonna use all of it
but i just got two bags just in case so when i was still initially thinking to use succulents
instead of foliage i wanted to add additional decor aside from the moss or pebbles so i got
this one and i'm thinking of either keeping it as is or spray painting it gold because the theme is
kind of like black and gold but i was kind of like i don't really want to go heavy on the black and
gold because i do really have the black pebbles so let's attempt a sample and see how it looks like
okay so i'm outside doing this so excuse the background noises so this is a terrarium bowl
i washed it because it was a little bit murky and i have the plants here the peperomia and the
syngonium and then once i've arranged it i'm gonna think of the third plant that i'm gonna use to
finish them off so remember i'm gonna be using this as centerpiece not keep plants in permanently
so and this is going to be like giveaways as well at the end of the party so if people
decide to keep it it's up to them to repot it or try to keep it alive i'm just setting for
as long as possible but i do want to give it a little bit of um drainage per se at the bottom
there you go off camera i took the plants out of the soil and separated them into individual plants
so they're easier to work with and initially i was using the sphagnum moss because it just helps me
situate the plants better and kind of determine where i want it to go but eventually i'm pushing
the sphagnum moss just to the side of the bowl and still use soil in the middle because i'm
trying to make this project as cheaply as possible and if i use a lot of sphagnum moss it's going to
be very expensive and for the third plant i got a snow queen pothos rooted cutting that
i am adding to it and then eventually as you can see i have like soil there and i
added this fourth spider bonnie plant propagation that i wasn't sure of but i felt like the back
was too empty and this was going to be in a round table so i'm not sure about that part but i added
it anyways just to see how it looks like and then i'm going to be adding pebbles on it on this side
and then eventually moss it's not arranged as perfectly as i want to but like i said this is
just a sample just to see how everything comes together it's also kind of hard to do this on
camera without like blocking the angles so you can see my arm blocking a lot of the parts so yeah so
and there's like gaps there that needs to be filled out eventually i mean on the actual piece
i'll do like a better job of arranging it okay so this is the centerpiece be honest tell me what you
think about it does it look good i know it can be arranged a little bit better but is it arranged
nice like this and i did add a fourth point which i don't know if that's awkward
and then the pebbles here should i put more pebbles should i put something else
but and spanish moss and yeah let me know but that is the sample centerpiece in my experience
monster steadliness even when they're pushing out green leaves eventually they would produce more
variegated leaves as it grows i'm propagating it using moss that i have pre-moistened
and hopefully this one reads and i'll keep you updated uh here's the update to the terrarium
i got it fixed although i had to redo it because once i glued this part back in i couldn't put it
back on so i have to like fix it while it is on the terrarium so that it would fit back in but
yeah i just have to be careful from now on and i did put the monstera stnadleyana that i propagated
in there and i placed back all the plants that i have watered also up here and here i bought
back the ficuses and there's my constellation monstera and over here is the sample centerpiece
that i created and those are all the plan chores that i'm doing today i'm pretty sure i'll laugh
over some tasks that i need to do because that's what always happens there's always some leftover
tasks but i really appreciate you joining me today as i do my plan chores as much as i love my alone
time with my plants sometimes not necessarily lonely but it's such an alone activity it's always
nice to be spending it with you all when i do this plant chores it just makes it a lot more enjoyable
but yeah so thank you so much for watching if you found any value in this video
please do consider sending me a super thanks the button is down below but before i go
