#plantchores
I have been repotting all morning and I'm watching this while sitting in the middle ofmy kitchen SURROUNDED by soil and old roots and taking a break to eat my lunch and watch your video...I guess it helps inspire me to get back to work!
Hahaha I feel you! It is amazing what a mess we can make when we start the plant chores. Sometimes it seems to me I will never get out of the mess :D
So far you've kept me company through cooking breakfast, putting on makeup, then dusting plant leaves while I sit here, so you're right on the split attention.
I know the video is long but daaaaamn, that is a lot of tasks to achieve! 😂
Saw the title and felt relieved knowing I’m not the only one who has fallen behind on plant chores :/
Oh no worries, you can ALWAYS count on me to be behind plant chores lol
To my credit over the past month I have re potted at least 50 plants , got a second ikea cabinet and moved everything into one room 🎉
I’m working. I like having plant videos playing while I’m working.
I do this too 😊 glad to know I'm not the only one
I'm sitting on the sofa, drinking cold latte machiatto at 11pm and throwing a look at the tv every 20 minutes or so. It is muted now because there is nothing more interesting than a dose of Miro trying to catch up on chores😂😂😂. I also did nothing today. Disclaimer: because I'm on vacation and not at home. But I do worry how my plants are at home in Germany, they have to survive 12 days without me. Some will probably be very happy, because unlike you I'm a notorious overwaterer. On a happier note I did discover that my sister in law has a Hoya carnosa (according to a plant identifying app I randomly used) and it is beautiful and very long (190 cm) climbing a string hooked on the ceiling and I have finished negotiations successfully and can have several very long cuttings from its multiple side tendrils.😊😊😊 It looks very healthy, has juicy, succulent, up to 13 cm long, splashy leaves and I blame YOU for making me notice it in the first place! Thank you❤❤❤ and greetings from Bulgaria😘🌿🌿🌿
Oh, you are just in the neighborhood - almost! :D I hope you have a nice vacation :) And don't worry, your plants will be more than fine. They can do well without us 😂 What a fun discovery too! I also recently was gifted a H. carnosa but she is very sun-bleached and the person who kept her didn't manage pests at all so she is going to be staying away from most of my plants for at least a season!
@@BasiePlants Yes I am😁. I recently discovered you on TH-cam l and am newly immersing myself in the Hoya world. My sister in law's carnosa will be my second Hoya. I discovered that I had bought my first just a week ago without even noticing: a Hoya gracilis was her name, I believe. I did discover a couple (OK, more like a dozen) other hoyas through your videos, mostly the thicker leaved ones, that sooner or later will end up at home. I totally blame you!!! Space is a premium at my appartment and look what you make me do😭😂😂😂P. S. Good luck with your carnosa; I know you will work your miracle and she will thrive 💚🌿💚
Laundry and plant chores, thanks for making those chores more enjoyable🥰
No planty chores for me tonight. Just in from work, and too tired to cook for myself. So, I watched while eating a raspberry jam & peanut butter sandwich! LoL
Washing the dishes, cleaning out the microwave, reorganizing plant supplies, and repotting newly acquired plants because I have killed so many plants because I've left them in original nursery pots!!!
Oh I am sorry to hear that :( In many cases I also find these plants need to be repotted as soon as possible from the nursery mix.
I found you recently and I love your videos! I am a plant parent newbie from Sweden and I was SO excited to learn about the hoya meetup thingy! I'm SO going next time!
It is so exciting that you made plants from seeds. You are a miracle worker!
Haha, well, they did most of the work! :D
I usually watch your videos through, and put on repeats to do plant chores. BTW, a newer TH-camr Planted in Rhode Island was giving you credit (blame 😂) for making him buy Hoyas
everyone blames me! But I think it is time we start blaiming the hoyas! I am just a vessel for their voice 😂
I watched you while painstakingly gluing the gorgeous aged terracotta pots my mom just gave to me.😮💨
My granddaughters decided to put their rollerskates on while INSIDE the house...and you can guess the chaos that ensued.😑
I will not be admitting to them that they look kinda cool glued back together.😉💚✌🏽
Im just eating/snacking/sipping while I watch your videos every time 😄😄😄 And of course I make lists of new hoyas I want to get 😅😁
Hahaha :D makes sense, considering how frequently things go wrong during my plant chores videos, it's almost like drama TV.
@@BasiePlants The way I gasped when roots fell off 😧🫢
😅😅😅
Btw I just broke off new leaf on hoya deykeae 😅 but its ok as they grow soooo fast 🤣
I too have a beautiful philodendron atabapoenca but yours is larger. Not too many people have that particular plant. I am now watering my 8-year-old Madagascar jewel. I love these videos. ❤
I’m catching up on watering and just retrellised my heirloom carnosa. Glad to see a long plant chores video!
Oh how nice! I need to do some retrellising myself :D
I love watching this in segments. Right now I’m repotting a gold fish plant and a raven zz. I’m a chronic underwaterer too😅
Watching you and Eating supper!!!♥️
I was watering and repotted a philodendron seedling. Also, started more cuttings in fluval (loving it lately). Have a good day!
I'm doing water changes on my fish tanks while watching/ listing ❤
I'm watering and spraying my plants for the day. I'm newly into hoyas and am loving your channel!
Thank you
love watching your long videos while I’m studying, that counts as a chore right 😂
Sewing a bit (makes me feel so old! :) while listening to you. Watering when done. Thanks for the vids love seeing your plants & your sense of humor!
Are you mending clothes or making new ones? I actually watches some sewing videos (I was delusional I could make a shirt LOL) but I think maybe I should try knitting instead 😂
@@BasiePlants I am short so I needed to hem shorts for summer.🤣. I too could not sew a shirt but I am able to crochet a blanket. Hope your week goes well!
You always motivate me to start doing my own plant chores. I love that! So that's what I do during your video's. ❤
If only I was better at motivating myself 😂
I just recently found your channel and absolutely love you! You are so knowledgeable, and I've learned so much, so thank you! I just recently fell in love with hoyas, and I'm binging all of your videos!
Awww, thanks!
No chores, just crocheting! So I didn’t just stare at you 😂. Thanks for the entertainment!
hahaha, I appreciate that! :D oh crocheting, how fun! What are you making?
@@BasiePlants it’s SUPPOSED to be a sweater, but you never really know what it will end up being 😂😂😂
@@barbaraspehar2785 hahaha :D well, whatever turns out, I am sure it will be better than anything I could make, if that is any consolation 😂
Loved this video - I find it so therapeutic watching you do your plant chores - even the difficult moss removal! I have also been doing my plant chores today. A lot of repotting, watering, feeding, trellising and one ejection of a philo with thrips - banished to the garden where I hope they meet their untimely end… Can’t wait for the Sweden vlog/videos. Thanks Miro.
Oh I have to also do some trellising, and retrellising. And a loooot of Hoya untangling. I think next Sunday is the first Swedish video :)
Excellent! Can’t wait! 💚
Well I looked at my plants, considered things… gave water to the ones that needed it, no repotting, albeit I have 10 that needed it last month. Of course I have bags of mix I forgot about that I mix with the rest, who don’t? Thanks for posting always fun to hangout and do plant stuff! 💚😎💚
I had a long bath, so you had my full attention!
Hey, hey!!!
Thank you for the video! Beautiful plants. Watching this makes me want to do some repotting.
Yay! I inspired! 😂
I've been watering and dusting off many plants this morning. I'm glad you are videoing plant chores, but I have a "challenge" that doesn't seem to correlate with what you are doing. But you are one of the ONLY people I trust with my question. Last September, I bought a cute Hoya Globulosa. It had 3 or 4 beautiful leaves that have now grown almost as long as my hand with gorgeous veination. However, because of my lack of hoya knowledge, I did not realize how thick and sturdy the stems would be on this. Thicker than any obovata I have. It's just a little over 2 feet tall now (about 70 cm). It's not top-heavy at this time, but I cannot even imagine how I am going to be able to trellis one of my most favorite hoyas. I know I probably should have thought about this when it was much smaller, but now I don't know what to do. Someone told me to try to use bamboo stakes and clip it to another stake close to it, so that it starts to grow "downward." But I am most certain that somebody else told me if you did that with hoyas...the newest leaves would not grow properly or fall off. Is that true? What can I do to help my globulosa? I just found a video of yours from a while back (30 days of Hoya), and you mentioned that globulosa sometimes does not even want to be attached to a trellis 😵💫😢
H. globulosa is definitely not easy to trellis! To be honest, when my plant got that big I cut her! Globulosa likes to grow upward and the stem can be very firm - but this depends on the clone. Some are faster and more pliable, some are not. I would say to try to let it grow as tall as you can and when you are happy with the growht, try then gently and slowly bending her to the bamboo hoop, with the tip going up. I am sure part of it can be already tied to the bamboo hoop and then let the rest just grow and when you judge it is long enough to go down and up, then do it :) I hope that was somewhat clear 😅
@@BasiePlants Thank you. I will give it a shot. If It proves to be too difficult, it may be time for a chop and prop. 😃
I tried to avoid my plants for two days! I was almost accomplished until 4:00 yesterday
While watching your vid, I'm untangling a newly purchased, severely rootbound, Orchid in sphagnum moss. Oddly enough, my Orchid mix is exactly what you're using... orchiada bark, pumice, and sphag (I think there's lava rock in mine too). That mix should be just fine for baby Hoya! I can't wait to see their progress, Miro!
I'm repotting the plants, drinking tea, and thinking how nice this video is so long! Love it❤❤❤
Oooh, sounds so cozy
Making grilled cheese Sammy's, and then I'm going to mow the lawn ❤❤❤❤
Oh, that sounds delicious!
I am cleaning up the detritus that my plants make instead of cleaning other messes
Sorry to see the roots come off your microphylla. That would’ve freaked me out! Only having one main root that all the roots grow from is always a risky position anyway. Now you’ll have 7 different root systems develop! While I watched your video, I was online trying to figure out what plant supplies I can order online and what stuff is so expensive I have to leave the house to buy it locally. I got my watering (mostly) done yesterday except for about 15 or so on the wall, but I need help getting those down and taking them to the kitchen. So that has to wait. I sold 4 terrariums yesterday so I want to make more, but I’m feeling like a total bum today!
Yeah, that root system was not great and it was really hard to see what I was cutting so that went a bit south :D I do think it would have been better to restart it or get a back up plant going anyway, but I was hoping to leave the base as security :D Oh well! So nice to hear you sold some terrariums! That is a fun hobby! Do you make them in small glasses or slightly larger?
The chores are a never ending struggle.. the question is what chores have you not managed to do..😮
Also chore day! Watering, fertilizing, trellising, not happy with the outcome so ordered more trellises… rewound you four times (not a trellis joke 😂) as I was in the shower with the plants most of the afternoon and kept missing segments.. took a nap and woke up to bigger mess as I didn’t finish anything. Success! 😄 🌱 Thanks for hanging out with me!
Oh what a productive day! I actually need to order more trellises too 😰 Will the plant supply orders ever end?! 😂
I just sit and watch, staring intently... 😳 Haha I tried watching your videos when doing a workout on the treadmill but it only has a small screen and I can't see the plants as clearly so now I exclusively watch only on the big screen TV 😅
Please keep watching on the smallest screen possible. Like, Apple Watch. Thank you.
@@BasiePlants no.
Твоја мајка је бриљантна. "Who knows why this is good?" has just entered my vocabulary. Please tell her she has a fan in the US.
Hahaha :D I often get annoyed when she says that 😂 Perhaps I lack wisdom to see why something is good :D
"The amount of stress I accept to day is zero." Score: Mom - 1, Miro - 1.
I’m watching with a cat on my lap! I want to get up and repot my hoya gracilis but….., cats on my lap 🤷🏼♀️😅
You must not disturb your cat!
I just binge watched nearly all of your channel, so excited that my miro-break was not all that long 😊
hahaha :D Oh wow, that must have took ages! 😂 Sincere apologies for the older videos.
@@BasiePlants
Tbh. Short haired Miro seemed like finding someone's old my space at first but it's part of the journey 😂❤
It’s fun to see the different mixes you come up with for your plants. Thank you for sharing. Over the last month or so, I have been transferring my plants to self-watering pots with the 50% coco coir, 50% perlite. I was wondering if I could substitute pumice for perlite in this mix?
I need a begonia video 🤗🥰🙏
I just posted one last week :D
@@BasiePlants I saw that, I swear 😍🥰 but I would like to see the one you mentioned... care video, your collection video, terrarium begonia species and so on... I need moooore hahaha 🤩
What is the best soil for the sunrise hoya? I just purchased it from a plant traders group and the soil smells funky. And the picture does not match the plant because part of the plant has been dug out.
Did you just call forgetii a plain anthurium? I think the one anthurium that everyone loves is a forgetii. Yeah papis and dressleriis are cool but the peltate leaves are too cute 🥰
Seems to me like calling hoya caudata a plain hoya
Hahaha true, true. I apologize! I mean, plain for Anthurium collectors perhaps. I think Hoya collectors would also call caudata kind of plain, but I do love mine. Especially the gold one! :D
I recently replanted my Hoya compacta which was three years old. It was absolutely fine before this. (The pot had broken). The leaves are now very shriveled and I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s wrong. I’m not over or under watering. Any ideas?
@BasiePlants hey Miro(I hope I spelled that right) I’d like to ask you a question about Hoya retusa- I’ve just bought that didn’t look too happy when it arrived so I contacted the seller and they told me that new growth comes in black and turns green. Do you know if this is right? Also any tips on the best care would be gratefully received- love your channel and videos btw 😆😆😆👍
I usually watch these longer videos when I do eat and need something calm to listen. For example in the morning I may not feel like listening music, but this kind of videos where you talk are way to go.
Do u ship to US? Hoya lover here❤
Sadly no :( Only within the country here.
I think you need to have a serious talk with whomever does your plant supply ordering. This is unacceptable!!!
Honestly! I need to run a more tight ship around here!
