hi everyone it's marianne welcome to my wasteless life
for today's video i'm sharing with you my fall houseplant tour
thank you so much for joining me today and if you're new this is my wasteless life
where it takes you along my plant and sustainable lifestyle journey
and share with you some of my tips and tricks along the way
so for today's video i'm sharing with you the rest of my houseplant tour
if you haven't seen it yet i just released my fall plant bedroom tour video
which i would link up here and also down description so if
you'd like pause this video and watch that first
or you can watch this one and then watch that video it doesn't matter
but as a continuation from that video let's find out if i actually was able
to hit my goal of downsizing my plants to under 80
plants from having over 100 plants at the beginning of the year
so before i take you downstairs and share with you the rest of my houseplants
i just want to give a brief overview of the plants that you're about to see
so most of these plants i actually
have outside during the growing season so they're normally not inside the house
and some of the plants that you would see in the video but i probably
will not mention or talk about are plants
that do not belong to me so i'm only going to go over the plants that i do own
which honestly still most of them are my plants and some of
the house plants are not technically house plants
but are plants that i'm just winterizing because i hope to grow them again
next spring to produce more produce for us
but yeah so come with me downstairs and let's check the plants that i have
and let's take a look at the plants in the family room
and here in the console i have two plants my scindapsus pictus argyreus
this is actually the only scindapsus pictus plant that i have most of
the duplicates that i have i already gave away
and the mother plant is actually in the prop box which i'm going to show you later
and in here is a scindpasus pictus exotica that i was growing in pafcal
you probably seen that in a previous video
so here is my pineapple plant it's usually outside but i'm bringing it in for the winter of course
and this is on its second to third
year so i'm hoping maybe next summer it would actually start to bear fruit
but we would see and this is my holiday cactus
yep it is starting to bloom i'm very excited i actually
placed this outside because to get your holiday or christmas
or thanksgiving cactus to bloom
they actually need the cold so for a while i was actually placing it outside
even though i put all my plants back inside already
and it started to bloom but now i have to bring it inside it is
because it is getting too cold
and here is my golden pothos that i staked up
in a pole right over here and i think i did an ig reel re-staking this up because
it has grown too large and too big for itself so and i actually might have to do it again next year
they're underneath this lamp with the grow light
from SANSI full disclosure the company sent it to me if you want to
purchase one for yourself i'll link it down in description
and behind the christmas tree here's my dog hi baby
and right behind the christmas tree we have my spider plants
at first i was gonna give this away but it survived the culling
and back there is the spider bonnie the curly version of the spider plant
and here is my original haworthia the very first one that i got
even before i started collecting plants
and right here by the kitchen sink i have this pothos njoy
i think pearls and jade pothos that i propagated
but since i propagated them i think from node or very small leaves it just retained its small size
so i really like that about it so it's been compact like this and stayed compact like this
and i'm trying to do the same with my scinpdapsus argyreus that's in my prop box
and here i have a pink syngonium
propagation that i've been meaning to combine with my syngonium confetti
that i also combined with another pink syngonium so i might do that sometime
and this one is another scinpdapsus pictus
propagation the propagating water for a while and this one i probably pot up
as a plant by itself and give it to my brother for his apartment
and now let's check out my plants in the living room and let's start with
over here these are my most prized and favorite plants
starting of course with the thai constellation mastera that i won from costa farms
it's right over here it's doing well so far except
that it has a few tears on the leaves because it keeps getting moved around
but like over here but so far it's doing good it has so far only produced one
leaf for me which is this one with lots of
fenestrations
and there's an incoming one over here but i think it has already moved to dormancy so
but you can see up here this large leaf has a little bit of curling
i think that is from the cold that's why i try to keep the
windows down at night whenever i can
and this one is my fiddle
leaf fig also doing well and what's fascinating about this one is as you can see down there
it has sprouted a new leaf at the bottom so that's really interesting
but also doing well i know a lot of people have
problems with their fiddle leaf fig but for me so far i never really had any issues with my
fiddle leaf fig ever since i've
gotten it for like almost three years now knock on wood and here is my monstera deliciosa
and this one is actually not my mother plant this is a propagation
of the mother plant but this is the one that has
the more mature fenestrated leaves
like this one and because i separated this from the mother plant earlier this year
like at the start of the growing season
or right before the growing season this one hasn't really produced any new leaf
for me except for this one i believe and at the base of it
i placed some of my pothos propagations like my manjula my philodendron brazil
pearls and jade some snow queen and
marble green and also some golden pothos
over here i have my ficus audrey i did a video on this on how to get your ficus
plants to branch which applies for any type of ficus plant
but for the ficus audrey i was really successful with it
as you can see i made it branch over here and also right over there
and back here is my mango plant which is my pride and joy because this one i grew this
from seed and this has also been
with me for like two to three years now
and it really grew this year grew several branches on top so i'm really excited about
that i put that out outside during the summer
but now since it is the cold season it has to be brought back in so it is right
between a west and south facing windows so i try to give it as much light as i can
but during gloomy autumn days like this
we do have the chandelier light on to give a little bit more light
for the plants down here it's not exactly a grow light but more
light for the plants and as you can see
outside it is fall and behind the sofa and right next to the south facing windows are
some of my plants that i normally keep outside at least for the most part
this is my zz plant this one is normally inside
and i did pot my zz raven together with it just to save space
and here is my avocado plant this one i almost culled this year too
but this like the mango plant i did grow from seed
so i also don't want to regret giving it up since
this is the only avocado that i was able to successfully grow from seed
and below it i did plant the tradescantia
linen which is not um which i'm not a big fan of but since it survived underneath
there it's not really bothering the avocado plant it is there
and over here is my moonshine sansevieria plant
i think this is the only snake plant i have these snake plant that i own
and this was not exactly a house plant it's my jalapeno i
am trying to winterize it so i brought it back in
i had this for a couple growing seasons now and when i brought it back this growing season
it did produce a lot of fruit so i'm hoping to winterize it again
so that it would grow again next growing season
but as you can see it still has lots of fruit that needs to be harvested
and here is my eucalyptus plant my second attempt in having one
but as you can see the leaves are drying out so i also probably need to prune this
here is my autograph plant that i potted with the aloe vera again just to save space
and this one i've also been trying to let go
but i also hesitate because i might regret it because this is also one of those
cuttings and propagations that i originally got from miami as a cutting
from aside from the sidewalk of a hotel in miami
and i was really surprised that i was successfully propagating this from that cutting
and my aloe vera plant this one produced a lot of
baby pups for me so every spring and every fall i would harvest all those
pups and just give it out to my neighbors so
over here is the thaumatophyllum bifinatufidum
normally i have this outside but of course i had to bring it back in for the winter season
i do need to prune it down
though so that it's not using up a lot of energy
to sustain itself and right next to that is my monstera deliciosa mother plant
actually and when i repotted this early spring right before the growing season
this was essentially all just nodes
and i just had it outside let it do its thing and it grew all the leaves
during the growing season while it was outside
so come next growing season what i'm going to do is as you can see
there are different grow points all over this node
so what i'm going to do is just chop it off
in the internodes and let it be its own plant i would definitely bring them outside
but not sure if i'm going to be keeping them
the entire growing season or i'm just going to be selling off or giving away some
of the plants and propagations of this one
and right over here is my prop box so let me show you what's in it
so first off is my monstera adansonii i had to chop it off because it was suffering from root rot
but if you watch any of my previous videos especially my care video
on the monstera adansonii had this growing up on a
pole really trying to grow up and grow large leaves but
it's suffered root rot this it was previously in leca
but i think i let the leca dry out and then tried to
put water in it it led to root rot so i just have to chop it off
and it was also suffering from scale so i just had to chop it off
and save what i could and now is the prop box doing well
starting to produce some roots i can already see some roots
already poking out of the drainage hole so that's a good sign
so when this one has fully established itself as a plant
i would likely stick it up like i did with the golden pothos plant
and another one in my prop box is the scindapsus pictus argyreus this one
is actually the mother plant i had to repot it
a couple months ago because it was very root bound and i had so much
yellowing leaves something that usually happens
with my scindapsus argyreus when it's transitioning to colder weather
so the other one survived i gave that away
and this one didn't so i just had to like chop it off and start all over
and i just put in a prop box and now it's starting to sprout
out new leaves and over here is my monstera adansonii narrow form
and i gave out my original monstera adansonii narrow form
in my fall plant purge and i did keep some of the nodes
and put it in here and now those nodes have sprout it out
new leaves so i guess i have another monstera adansonii narrow form
not sure what i'm doing this if i'm gonna keep this
or i'm just gonna give it away or sell it but right now it is in the prop box
and it's actually doing well especially for something that were just
fully nodes when i stuck it in this pot t
the next prop here is my scindapsus silver hero
and this one is pushing out a new leaf as well so and the mother plant is in
the ikea greenhouse cabinet well technically that's the
mother plant but actually this was also part of my etsy import that
was a fail this was one of the nodes that i was able to
salvage and rehab and propagate and now it's producing new leaves
so that is awesome and i don't know what i'm going to do with
this i don't think i'm going to combine it with the mother plant
but i might use this for future trades or sell it off next spring
this is my scinpdasus pictus argyreus propagations
these are smaller leaves that i purposely put all together in this pot
and make it compact like i did with the pothos pearls and
jade that i have by the kitchen sink
so hopefully when this propagates and i think it's propagating well it would remain
small and compact and more of a terrarium plant
like the pearls and jade pothos that i just mentioned
this one is a i forgot what this is i think this is a monstera standleyana
but i might be mistaken it could be the
epipremnum pinnatum variegata
i will know once this new growth has produced a new leaf and unfurled
i do think it's the epipremnum pinnatum variegata based on the node in the stem
but we will see when that happens
i'm actually surprised this one also survived
because i think the last time i checked this prop box the leaf originally has
rotted off and then i just kept it in there just in case the the node itself because it's
it has some root growth already it
would survive and push out new growth and i'm glad that it actually did
but yeah that's the one and last but not the least is
my syngonium albo if you've seen my syngonium albo prop video
basically kind of like the monsera adansonii i had the
syngonium albo really trailing really really high already
but it just became too lanky or leggy for me so i just decided to cut
it off base nothing was wrong with it no root rot no anything
but i just want to cut it from the base and as you can see it
started to push out new leaf this one
has lots of green in it but the next leaf that is trying to produce is pretty much albo
kind of like with this one it's completely
albo and this node over here has two new growth points which is exciting so i'm
not sure if i'm going to keep this one
or keep the single leaf cuttings that i have in ikea greenhouse cabinet and prop that
up into a new plant not really sure yet
that's something for me to decide next growing season i might just sell off or trade off
the single leaf cuttings or keep that one and sell this
one off we don't know yet but this is technically the mother plant of
my syngonium albo so those are all the plants in my prop box
they're essentially going to stay here during the entirety of the
winter season they'll be right next to the south facing window
i don't have any problems with humidity for this because it is in
a tightly sealed box and the box is transparent so like just go through it
and this one has a little bit better temperature
control than the ones that are just sitting right next to the window so
i think it's going to be okay but we will see and
check back next spring and see what happens to them
so that completes my houseplant tour so by my account i do have 21 plants
downstairs that belong to me and propagations
so i have 21 plants downstairs and 50 plants in my bedroom
so in total i have 71 houseplants that belong to me
so that means i actually reached my goal of downsizing my plants under 80
and hit my ultimate goal of keeping it between 70 to 75
with 71 total houseplants so i'm really happy that i was able to
reach my goals but as you can see i still have
some duplicate plants and plants that i could potentially get rid of next year
which i plan to do since there are plans that i still want to add to my collection
but i really really want to keep my plants
under 70 next year we'll see what happens
i actually the plant nerd that i am i did a data analysis of my plant collections so
basically breaking down all the numbers of how many plants i have
how many died how many are propagated how many
plants i bought how many of those plants that i bought actually survived
how many i traded sold gave away so all the
stiffness sticks of my houseplants i did and i'll probably share with you in an
upcoming video during vlogmas in case you're
interested with that kind of
plant nerdy stuff and as i mentioned in my fall time collection video the numbers don't
tell the entire picture but it's also fascinating to look at the numbers to
check the statistics and analyze the data of my
plans this year and i don't know i might even come up with pie charts
and graphs to show you in a future video during
vlogmas when i do my year-end evaluation for my houseplants and plant journey this year
i have a black friday sale going on so please do check that out the link is down description
but yeah so thank you so much for watching if you like this video please give me a thumbs up
and if you're new here i hope you subscribe i come up with videos every week
thank you so much i see you i appreciate you
take care of yourself and each other
and have a plentiful holiday season bye
