Good job kid...:)) Many of the things you mentioned in the video i did and am afraid to do because it didn't work out favorably. A humidifier can cause mole.... I tried that and spent a long time cleaning it up... Try an oscillating fan to keep the room cool and spray the plant every once in a while. When it was in the 90's, my windows to my living room was close and i had a fan on the entire time... It kept the heat down. Maybe it's the way plants help keep the temperature down. I love your video and just subscribed...:)))
Hannah Zanghi I here you. I'm 18 and started loving houseplants just this fall. I'd say I've spent upwards to 1000$ on I'd say,, about, 160 plants over the span of 6 months. Im a plant addict
Love your plant tour💚 your dracaenas are turning brown because of over water or sitting in wet soil for too long. I bought two of those on sale for $3 & SCRAPED the black off the stem LOL (& hoped for the best) & it lived! I potted them in cactus soil to help with drainage;)
Nice tour! Excited to see the rest at your dad's. Lol I use to overkill my plants too. I have been kill free for over a year! Yeah I was in the too much water, too much fertilizer, too much direct sun, and over potted group for awhile. Thanks for sharing :)
Really admire the clean hair cut your plant got :) Trimming off the dead leaves is a part of hygene keeping plant healthy and look good as well. Good looking for video. Keep up the great job.
I really like your video, and your plants. Its so refreshing to see a younger person loving and taking care of plants. make sure that the plants that are turning brown are getting enough drainage when watering. Too much water can be the kiss of death for most plants. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ben, I feel the same way about fertilizing, so I have a suggestion or three for you since we know that the nutrition in the soil does get depleted after a while. You can easily use a compost tea for watering each time you water. I'd make sure to go with a really high quality compost though and definitely stay away from the really cheap stuff which is sometimes infested with insects that can be harmful to indoor plants. Another suggestion would be to add a little bit of worm castings to the top of your pots every once in a while. Too, I hope you are making use of the water you remove from the fish bowl. That's wonderful for plants also. I love that you found a way to avoid using chlorinated tap water. I have to collect rain water, but my plants look like they appreciate it. You have an impressive collection of plants and I'm sure you'll be teaching me a thing or two in the future.
Oh, I forgot. I wanted to say that you should give lessons to almost all of the other people on youtube on how to do a walking tour without making those of us who suffer from motion sickness ill. Most of them swing and jar the camera so much and so fast that I can't get through the whole video sometimes, and this bothers me because I love seeing all the different plants and can use all the tips and advice, etc. I can get. I just watched 3 of your videos in a row with no problem. Loved them and subscribed.
Melinda Gore thank you for the tips! I will definitely try the fertilizers. And also thank you for the nice comment, I thought my camera skills were terrible but maybe not lol.
Great video of your plants. And to see that you're young and interested in planting. That's rare and unique. Keep up the good work and also in my experience, if I'm not successful with a plant I just don't buy it anymore and always go for the hardier plants.
Me too because I'm like,"ughhh!!!" I bought this plant for no reason. But then I redeem myslef with buying another plant. And I'm happy once again. Good thing I live in Florida and it's always hot and humid and plants seem to enjoy that, especially my tropical plants.
I watched this again because you have some great ideas for your hanging plants. My fittonias are doing really well with more moisture. I spritz it every morning and every couple of days I put it under a cloche or bell shaped cover...like a little spa day lol I look forward to your videos 😊
Barbara M thank you! Yeah I have noticed that fittonias like to stay quite moist, sometimes I put them into the shower and spray them with water and they seem to really like it. (-:
I really recommend you to buy a mist fogger (usually for fountains decorations) is going for about 9to13 dollars and you can place it inside any water source you manage to place around; that makes you confortable. After a while using it you can clean it with a soft toothbrusher under the sink to maximize performance. Leave it on the whole day and disconnect it at night.It is low cost.
Hi Ben Glad Gisele u made a new video. Sorry about your banana plant see u r using the pumice stones. To get good drIng soul. Try mixing your potting soil with cacti soil or peralite. Good luck
Great video, I just have a few tips. Your Draecenas seem to get brown tips due to over watering so I would suggest allowing them to dry out between waterings. Also, African Violets don't do well in terracotta pots, the material sucks moister away from leaves. I would repot it in a plastic or glazed pot.
I have a hard time with that plant also..... I took a friend of mine to have hip surgery..... and while at the hospital, I saw a very large Draecena about 5- 6 feet tall...:)) It gave me hope that I may be able to do the same...:))
Having house plants is a addiction lol I already have 15 lol and I'm 27 years old. My favorite is placing baby spider plants in cuts of water all around my house
I didn't notice if you have different types of plants in the same family. i.e. so far I have 5 different types of Pepperomias and 6 types of Begonias.... I just love the different textures to each and every one of them. My latest that I am enjoying is Mother of Millions that is a succulent. Check out the local green house because I just flipped when I saw it fellow plant lovers...:))
We must be Plant connected. My two favorite plants are the same as yours and they sit in the same locations next to each other as yours. I have two dracenas that don't do well as you. I found that if I put mine in the shower or my big sink and spray the leaves for watering and the browning and such is decreased
Sarahs Salvage Shop lol we're like plant twins 😂 and literally dracaena are such a pain /: I used to put many of my plants (including the dracaena) in the shower and spray them like twice a week but I feel like it didn't do anything so I stopped doing it. Idk lol
Do not water Draecenas any more. Wait until the soil really dry out, then water again. Draecenas hold water in their stems. Only water when the soil is dry out (around every 1 month, or longer ). Remember the less watering the more beautiful their leaves look.
Second comment: Not gonna be preachy about it but do you know the recommended care for goldfish? They really shouldn't be in bowls, goldfish really need something about the size of your spiders tank to be healthy. Just figured I'd say that in case you weren't aware, they're very large fish and can live very long in the right condition. Anyway it's your decision either way. Really like your plant collection and your room looks sweet with all the foliage
I would love to see more of the younger generation get into the habit to embracing plants, gardening etc. So proud of you. Keep it up.
Maureen Gordon thank you! Yeah I wish I knew more people that love plants /:

Don't know what you are trying to say annie lee
Yeah, over the summer I started to really love plants and I have started a plant family :) im 14 so all my friends thinks its kinda weird

Thank you! (: & wow! I'm surprised that your dracaenas survived, that's really cool!
Your video was very inspiring...I do have most of the same indoor plants n it was extremely encouraging to watch....thanks for sharing....love it!
Farida Ramdhanie thanks! It's good to know other people have some of the same plants. (:
i love how you are able to sprinkle the plants around your room and they still get good light im v jealous
Michelleisamazingful yeah lol I'm lucky, my room is nice and bright.
Nice tour! Excited to see the rest at your dad's. Lol I use to overkill my plants too. I have been kill free for over a year! Yeah I was in the too much water, too much fertilizer, too much direct sun, and over potted group for awhile.
Thanks for sharing :)
Sokey Ridge How do I get out of that group!? It's so hard 😂
Really admire the clean hair cut your plant got :) Trimming off the dead leaves is a part of hygene keeping plant healthy and look good as well. Good looking for video. Keep up the great job.
missed you glad to see another video from you glad to see your plants are doing fine
Anna Frazier thanks ! (-: I can't wait to make more videos

Patricia Grant thank you! And yeah I have struggled with both over and under-watering, hopefully someday I'll get it right 🤷♂️
Again a nice plant tour...I really enjoyed 👍
Happy to see a new tour. I love your plant collection. You're doing awesome with them, they're all so healthy!

Isak Soliz thank you! Yeah I tend to do that too, I get so frustrated when a plant dies /:

Jorge Ovalles I'll have to look for one of those. Thanks! (-:
Cool idea to run the pathos across the ceiling, do the aerial roots dig into the drywall?
Nodnarb Rekab lol nope, not yet at least.
my big palm tree died because my cats kept attacking it 😧 great video 😊😻
Elizabeth LLAMA sad! My big palm tree isn't looking so good, but it's summer now so I'm going to put it outside and hope it gets better!
Hi Ben Glad Gisele u made a new video. Sorry about your banana plant see u r using the pumice stones. To get good drIng soul. Try mixing your potting soil with cacti soil or peralite. Good luck
sherron gilling thanks Gisele! Yes, the stones work very well. (-:

Also, African Violets don't do well in terracotta pots, the material sucks moister away from leaves. I would repot it in a plastic or glazed pot.
alarm35m thanks for the tip! I probably should do that
you noticed that also about the clay pot...;))
Victor Glasgcow it's okay, I re-potted it lol
I have a hard time with that plant also..... I took a friend of mine to have hip surgery..... and while at the hospital, I saw a very large Draecena about 5- 6 feet tall...:)) It gave me hope that I may be able to do the same...:))
Ben.... I forgot to tell you that you helped me identify a plant that I didn't know the name of....:) THANKS!!!:))))
keep it up I love your vids
Austin Campbell thanks! (-:

Shawn Jobin omg I love spider plants! For some reason they're kind of hard for me to grow tho :/
I didn't notice if you have different types of plants in the same family. i.e. so far I have 5 different types of Pepperomias and 6 types of Begonias.... I just love the different textures to each and every one of them.

we have a lot of the same plants. I need to do a up date. great plants.
omooshun94602 yeah you should, and thank you!

💖💖💖💖💖💖 please make more plants videos
Indra Yudha Kusuma I will 😆
How do you care for your Jade plant I have one but if I touch the leaves will fall off what is wrong with them
Judy King lol I had one a while ago and I killed it /:
Do not water Draecenas any more. Wait until the soil really dry out, then water again. Draecenas hold water in their stems. Only water when the soil is dry out (around every 1 month, or longer ). Remember the less watering the more beautiful their leaves look.
