hi everyone it's marianne
welcome to My Wasteless Life
in this video i'll be sharing with you how i set up my propagation wall
with the wall hanging plant stem stand from the Hilton Carter by Target collection
thank you so much for joining me today
and if you're new this is My Wasteless Life
where i take you along my plants and sustainable lifestyle journey
and share with you some of my tips and tricks along the way
if you don't know who hilton carter is
hi friends i'm hilton carter plant stylist artist and author
and with my collaboration with target my goal is to help you all become better plant parents
hilton recently released his collection with target and it's for a limited time only
and is available in all 50 states
but only in select targets and not every target would carry the entire collection
and like the live plants they're only available in store
and some of the items in his collection are actually only available online
so by the time you're watching this you've probably seen other people's videos of the tour
of the hilton carter collection in their targets
and you're probably even seen it for yourself already
so i'm not going to show you a full tour of it i did post
it though in my igtv if you want to check it out
but here's a quick montage of the hilton carter collection that i found in my local target
there's very limited items from the collection that i found at the target i went to
but it did carry live plants and mostly it was the succulents it was for
five dollars and it did come in the ceramic pots
and this is the only terrarium that i found it's the smallest one i think that's for $25
the snake plant it came in a terracotta pot which is the same ones that
i bought from trader joe's to be honest
so they didn't really design a pot specifically for the collection
when it comes to the live plants
and with the larger plants like with the monstera and the fiddle leaf fig
it came with a plastic pot which is a little bit flimsy to be honest
i thought it was going to come in a ceramic or terracotta pot but that's fine
and majority of the collection in stores were the fake plants
personally i'm not a big fan of fake plants
so i didn't care for them especially the hanging plants they look really fake
but if i have to pick from the collection i would choose the philodendron congo
and also the scheflera
i think even though they're fake and look very fake they still make really good home decor items
when it came to the plant accessories i didn't really like them i preferred the planters more
i especially love the large ribbed ceramic white planter
i was tempted to get that one for my monstera deliciosa
it did cost 40 though but that is my favorite among the planters in his collection
the smaller ones they're nice they're just not my aesthetic
and that's the only propagation station that i saw in store
and as far as accessories they're also great well made reasonably priced just not my aesthetic
but the item that i really want is from his propagation line
like i said i only saw one in store so i got this online
and this is the metal hanging
plant stand from his collection and it is the most expensive one in his propagation line
aside from the large terrarium i think
and i got this one even though it was the most expensive among his propagation stations
because the smaller ones that come with one test tube maybe up to five
already cost between ten to thirty dollars
maybe even more and this one costs fifty dollars i get three rows of six
it comes with basically 18 test tubes
so there's a lot more
vessels for propagation as opposed to the smaller ones and they're pretty much close in price
the only thing that i didn't like about this is the color
it doesn't really match the accents in my room
so i decided to spray painted gold
so how to hang this up on the wall it's pretty easy to be honest
i know it might be scary because you have to drill
walls in it and you have to get it right the first time
but essentially find your middle so mine is here
it doesn't have to be like real exact for me anyways
and then take your level put it on one of the rows and just check if it's level
and according to this this is level this one is also level yeah
okay so now i'm just gonna go drill the holes
and here's the anchors that i need to put into the wall
it's hard to do it one hand but you get the idea i have to put
the anchor into the wall before i start screwing
yeah and it did come with a couple of extra test tubes just in case which is great
because i was actually worried what if one breaks then i'll be SOL
but fortunately they did provide two extra test tubes
which hopefully i won't have to use but it's great to have them
so here's what the metal hanging plant stem stand looks like once it's all set up it's pretty easy
the hardest part was probably the drilling and screwing
i had filled up some of the test tubes with water already
and what i use is this one this water bottle with this nozzle up in here
this just makes it easier for me to
fill it up with water as opposed to taking out the test tubes filling them up first
and then putting back in or using some other watering can or something else to put water in it
so it's pretty easy i just squeeze the bottle and water comes out and fills up the test tube there
and i'm not using a special type of water i'm just using
regular old tap water to fill up the test tubes with h2o
top off a little bit more
there you go you get the idea now
let's go make some cuttings for my plants to put in this propagation wall
the first plant i want to take a cutting from is actually the plant
right above it which is my philodendron lime
which is in between these two reverted manjula plants and i just kind of want to even it out
because you can see this one is just like hanging down here
so i'm just going to make a cutting from this all the way from
here oh there we go and here's the first cutting
all right let's see if there's something from
ikea greenhouse cabinet that i want to make cuttings from
uh not really like maybe the string of hearts but it just started trailing again
so maybe we'll see i kind of want to
but let's see what other cuttings that we could make first
all right so i'm thinking of maybe this one the snow queen pothos
let's try over here okay there you go
so here's another cutting that we're gonna put in the propagation station
i think from this side probably not
i'm trying to get that to trail all the way there as well as this monstera adansonii narrow form
so probably nothing from here so over here
i definitely want to take some cuttings off this pearls and jade pothos
just to even it out with the one over there
so this one i'm gonna make a cutting i think over here
there i go
yep so the last one i want to take cuttings from is my philodendron micans
so that i could have something velvety and different color looking in the propagation station
there it is and i'll see how much i have because i
already had some cuttings that i already made prior
so i'll see if i still want to make cuttings off my neon pothos
because i could definitely make a cutting from here
but we'll see if we'll need it
so this is what hilton carter posted on his instagram
this is how he set up his wall hanging plant stem stand
he has like a different varieties of plants not just pothos plants
so here's what i have so far the cuttings that we made together
and some of the cuttings that i already have and then i'm gonna go ahead and arrange it over here
so let's start with the cuttings that we made together
it's looking good already
and i have this emerald pothos that i've been trying to propagate
so this is probably like the only single leaf cutting
that i'm adding so i'm just going to put it up here oh
and it's the cebu blue pothos they can chill together since they're both rehabbing
moonshine sanseveria and this one is good because this one is a little bit small at the bottom
so i could fit it in the test tubes one thing that i would want from this propagation station is
if the test tubes were a little bit bigger
so that i could fit in more plants that have like a wider stem or a wider base
like like with this snake plant i had to cut the bottom so i could fit it into the test tube
here is another spider plant i could put it over here for now we'll figure it out later
this is a cutting from my mango plant
i wanted to cut it on top because i wanted to branch and i saved this one
and i know it's not gonna propagate in water but i'm gonna put it in here just like for
aesthetics not really for propagation
let me put it over here
and you can see the effect that it gives it lightened it up almost immediately
but i can see that we still have some
empty test tubes so let me figure out what else i could put in here and i'll be right back
and i'm going to show you a close-up of the cuttings that i placed in this propagation wall
first off at the bottom row is the pink syngonium
right next to it is the philodendron micans, a spider plant, a golden pothos, and another one
and here's a scindapsus pictus exotica
and up here is that mango cutting with some more spider plant to fill that area
and the scindapsus jade satin i added that one last minute
because i figured i'm gonna need it for a future trade anyway
so might as well start propagating it now
and here's a philodendron brasil
that i cut from the plant that's in another room that honestly i haven't paid attention to
ever since i moved there
but look at the variegation it has put out there's even a half moon here
and right next to that is another scindpasus pictus exotica
and then the moonshine sanseveria cutting
and up there is the snow queen pothos and in this test tube is this philodendron brasil
another one that i just looped around this side
and some more spider plant cutting and another snake plant the pearls and jade pothos cutting
cebu blue cutting with the philodendron lime
so that's how i set up my metal hanging plant stand from the hilton carter by target collection
and how i designed it with the different plant cuttings
