"...and if he breaks through your barricade and follows you out of the basement we need you to shoot him in the head or chest okay, here is a shotgun and one of the kids should be able to show you how to use it..."
That is genuinely terrifying!! Who in hell leaves a 15yo babysit three small kids in a situation like that. There sure are some crazy people out there. As always, love the planties! And your hair looks very cute :)
I bought a little watermelon peperomia two months ago and it’s starting to sprout a bunch of new growth. Don’t tell my other plants but I think he’s my favorite. 🤫
That is so scary! Thank goodness you knew the neighbors. I have a babysitting story that was scary to me but I will never live down. My dad’s buddy has twin boys. They were about 3 or 4 when I babysat them. I had watched them one time prior and I remember being anxious bc the last time they were all over the place. And when I mentioned “outside” they immediately stripped down naked. Lol. Anyway I was about 15. We were out for spring break. And their mom was a nurse so there was going to be about 4 or 5 hours where neither parent could be home. My dad dropped me off. And at first everything was fine. We played. We went out in the backyard. And to my amazement they didn’t remove their clothes. So I started becoming comfortable and not as uptight. One of the boys asked me for a snack and I went into the pantry which was like a pretty deep closet. I remember having a fruit snack in my hand and hearing the door slam behind me and the door knob jingling. Turning the door knob I was in utter shock to find the door was locked. They had locked me in the pantry!! The milder twin came to the door and started asking me what’re you doing what’re you doing. I said unlock the door buddy. I could hear him fumbling through the drawer right next to the door and started pounding on it with an object saying “I fix it, I fix it.” I felt in my back pocket and a miracle was there.. my phone! I called my dad. He rushed over. I just kept talking to the boys and tried not to freak out. When my dad got there and let me out the object that the milder twin had was a screwdriver. Still to this day my dad and his buddy joke about it. And his buddies wife always asks me if I could check in their pantry when I’m over there. I learned two important things that day. Never turn you back on children and to laugh at yourself.
Wait. So you say that you have a ghost 👻 in your house and then you leave us hanging like that? , Ah, details please 😄. And yes, that was a scary babysitting experience; what?! Nice job with the plants tho 👍🏻😊
That’s the most insane babysitting story I’ve ever heard!!!!! Those people are psychos for leaving you in that situation. So glad there was a neighbor you could reach out to.
That is a terrifying story and thank God nothing happened. Omg I'm like seriously so excited right now!! I'm so glad you got the plant and it arrived safely. Thank you so so so much 💙💙 Love your channel and I can't say it enough but you and your mom are an inspiration to the plant community on TH-cam. You engage with your viewers and make us feel like family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do!! 💙💙
Now that is a scary babysitting story. You sure handled it better than I could have. And I do want to hear about the ghost too! Is it messing with your plants?
OMG Harli, you tell a gripping story!!! My father died and we got rid of a lot of his clothing, including ALL of his shoes. I was there when we gave them to the thrift store. The next morning a pair of shoes that we gave away was on a kichen chair. Another great video Harli!! 😀
Hi Harli! What a scary story! I can't believe the grandparents did that to you and their grandkids! Crazy! Ok, now I need to hear more about your ghost...☺️Please????? Good repotting/story telling video. TFS!
Harli! You are crazy girl!!! So I decide to repot a few plants with you at 2am and listened to your story. Creepy story, but the idea of story time is way cool. But... Ummm..... What in the world was this?!?!? You have a ghost in your house, but wow, look at this pilea??? I almost fainted laughing so hard! Keep the stories coming! Love you and your parents, especially when plant shopping! Robyn
Half of the time I’m potting plants I listen to the my favorite murder podcast, it’s two women talking about true crimes stories and they often end with feeding a vocal cat a cookie so it balances out the scare factor haha. But they also have “hometown murders” where they talk about emails of people retelling different murders that took place near them or to people they knew it’s crazy and amazing. Anyway love your videos 💚
Would you consider doing a video about the size of pots and how you determine what size pot a plant should use. I order bare roots plants because I don’t pot in soil but I have no idea how to tell if a pot is too big or too small.
I'm obsessed with the growth and size of your Pilea. While mine continued to push new growth all winter, it equally dropped as many lower leaves at the same time. I just tried repotting in in a smaller container...hoping that maybe that helps...not sure what else to try. :-/
I kept getting a weird image flashing up for like a frame randomly and it’s freaking me out 😂 don’t know if it’s a phone glitch or a video issue, but definitely adding to the creepiness 😱
@@HarliG it was an image of you in mid talk. I thought it was the thumbnail but its just you. It was really weird lol nothing too spoopy!! It might have been caused by a bad internet connection or something!
Ok yeah, I would’ve been terrified as an adult too! Do you reuse the soil when you repot your plants? And every time I get potting soil it’s completely soaked in the bag. Any advice on how to dry it out a little?
The only really scary babysitting story I have is from a few years ago. I keep my 4 younger siblings for my mom and our house is already kinda creepy as it is (idk about any ghosts, but it’s definitely weird), and I was keeping them the night before open house for school. There was an old baby toy in the back screened in room and it was one of those little pianos. We sleep in the living room and that screened in room is right beside the living room. It kept going off for like 40 minutes straight and then stopped and started again and played periodically ALL night. I didn’t know if it was like a ghost or someone outside of our house messing with us. Me being the smart person I was, I went upstairs to get the oldest of my sisters so if somehow something happened to me the younger ones wouldn’t be alone. I go and check the toy once she’s downstairs and there’s literally nothing there. It’s close enough to a hole in the screen that someone could have been messing with it. My sister also thought she heard someone on the front porch so we stayed up all night because we were scared. We were smart enough to at least text our parents and they told us to call 911 if we needed to. I ended up making my fiancé come stay at the house a couple months later bc the toy started going off again! He threw it away for us. I’m scared to go outside at my moms house at night so there was no way I was going to
Let me tell you something about the Crown of Thorns (which in Spanish I call "Corona de Cristo") that might help you to improve it. First of all, you should treat this plant like a cactus or succulent, so low watering and soil should be completely dry before watering again. Also, place it where receives too much direct sunlight, this plants love it. Hopefully, following this advices you should not only get the plant to grow again, but also to bloom. Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.
Hi!!! Could you please suggest a liquid weekly or monthly fertilizer that doesn’t stink? I have lots of plants around my couch and don’t want something gross and stinky ❤️❤️
Youre so pretty!! I love your plant vids! I aspire to have my house as full as you one day! I would love you to do a video on indoor pest control (fungus gnats, moldy tops of soil, mealy bugs, etc)
I just bought a silver pothos from Walmart today and the soil has a greenish tint to it and its pretty dense. Do you think I should repot it now or wait for it to adjust to my house first?? Also should I make a special soil mix for it? Your videos are so helpful and entertaining! :)
Sounds like the soil might have some algae growing on it?? That or some other kind of bacteria from overwatering and humidity??? Otherwise it could just be the soil they used? But just in case...I 'd repot it
When you said sorry this video is all over the place I thought most of your viewers are all over the place, probably. Or just me. Either way, no worries. I enjoyed it! It is extremely scary to be home alone with kids at night... I cant imagine how you felt at that age. My husband used to work rotating shifts so I'd be home alone at night for 2 weeks at a time... at that time I only had one and every night was nerve racking. Then I got my pitbull and he eased so much anxiety. Crazy how pets have that affect on us. Also, I ordered alocasia seeds on Amazon. Only $5 so I'm not expecting much lol
That’s crazy. I would have been freaked out too. Especially at that age! 😖 I like scary stories around a camp fire. 😬 Also... you have really pretty eyebrows!!! #eyebrowsGoals One of these days you should give a peak of that macrame hanging thingy on your wall (black&gray). Macrame and plants go hand in hand. 😍
Hi Harli!!! Yas pizza and coffee vomit! I noticed that you potted the Pilea on the white pot that I’m pretty sure is a pot from ikea. That one doesn’t have a drainage hole right? Just wondering how you change your care for them if it doesn’t have drainage.... or did you drill a hole in that one?
Harli I liked hearing your story. Do you have anything in you bowl but potting mix? I use Black gold,but for my Calathea etc,should I add orchid mix or charcoal ?
Thats terrifying, especially as a young kid. I relate when you say you were too shy to speak up about the uncomfortable situation. Its weird analyzing things like that as an adult
What I took from this story was how crappy my parents & grandparents were with all their "loving me". You'd think if they really loved me they'd have left me with an older middle school girl to look after to me overnight! I seriously would've been all "thank you, Universe" 🙏 😁
This was only scary when it was happening but when i was 15 i was babysitting a 2-3 months old baby in a small apartment overnight because the parents were out of town Once it was time for the night sleep i put her to sleep on the couch and everything was good until about 30 minutes later i felt like i needed to check on her, so i went there to touch her chest but i couldnt, something (maybe my own mind playing tricks on my body) physically kept me from touching her, my hand just got stuck 1cm above her. That took like only a couple of seconds so then i got really nervous and just picked her up, trying not to wake her, and tried to put her to sleep in the parents' bedroom but for some reason as soon as we entered that room she started crying, she would stop and go to sleep when i stepped out, and would cry again when i stepped in At first i thought it may be because she knows that room means "sleep" and maybe she didnt like to sleep there but she barely slept in that room anyway. And she was fine even when i was right outside that room. Im 20 now but remembering that moment still terrifies me
Hi Harli , I know this is an old video but do you think you could tell me what the second plant that you repotted is? I have the same one and I cannot figure out the name it was gifted to me.
I'm so sorry that you had to experience something like that anf I don't think you were being over dramatic at all. Situations like that are terrifying, even if nothing bad happens. My aunt had a similar experience while babysitting me when I was young and she was probably the same age as you were. My dad, who has no custody over me, kept calling the house and threatening to send people over to take me from her and hurt her. I would suggest that everyone who babysits avoid families with drug abusing parents who do things like my father or the father in this story. 😬
@@HarliG They are super cute especially the pastel colored ones. Thanks! Will look out for them online. I don't think i can get them in my local stores here. :( Love your videos! I just got into gardening and i am totally obsessed!
How often should I water my spider plant, the tips of her leaves are browning, and should it be filtered water . I’m a beginner. I’m also propagating a monstera deliciousa what soil should I pot it in when it grows roots ?
Wow scary story, you are not being over dramatic, and when you're younger like you were it was super freaky. You have a ghost in your house? now that is scary. My best friend had one or more in the house they sold, and it was really creepy. I love your videos, they are always so interesting and real, Lol, thanks Harli, see you in your next video, bye for now.
You're most certainly not being overly dramatic. You were placed in dangerous situation and the grandparents were very aware of it. You handled it well, and I'm glad you're ok.
Hey Harli, I’ve recently repotted some plants a mixture of mature and baby plants. Should I have put the baby plants in small plastic pots or was it okay to put them straight into medium sized plastic pots?
Alright buckle up. When I was pregnant with my second daughter me and her dad moved into a less than move in ready house. It had been vacant for 3 years and there had been problems with squatters. So my bf worked 3-11 and I closed a grocery store at 9 then I was home alone with my daughter until around midnight. By less than move in ready I mean there were saw horses in the living room and paint cans and stuff. It did look rather not lived in yet. So I got home from work put the baby to bed and started reading a book in my bed and I hear the back screen door pop open and start swinging against the frame...slightly weird but not a big deal. Weird enough that I stayed in my bed until my bf got home. I mentioned it to him and he said yes the screen door wasnt latched and the back door was unlocked(odd but whatever). The next day I go downstairs to do some laundry and the coal chute room door is open. It just a little room with no windows and a metal door to outside where the stored coal for heating in the winter. Anyways it's never open theres nothing to do with it, mostly just a spider web den. So I think hey Christmas is coming up, maybe my bf hus my presents in there ima go check it out. These just one plastic Walmart bag in the room. I open it up and theres a human feces in the bag....... someone had broken into my house to squat and I showed up and he/she was trapped in the basement. Nature must have called and I get left this most thoughtful of presents. So after that I had to clear the basement when i got home with a flashlight and blunt object it was a bummer. Pretty sure someone came and stay in my garage as well after that but I wasnt going outside to check. And that's my scary home alone story.
Do you think next time you do a repotting video you could show us how you loosen up the soil from around the roots? I’ve ruined the root system of so many otherwise healthy plants 😭
Awww the peperomia is so cute! Story was pretty freaking creepy idk what I would've done. How did your friend find such a big-leafed watermelon peperomia? Mine is a hanging plant from Japan it has the cutest tiniest leaves.
Ohmigod no that family was definitely in the wrong! That responsibility should not have been placed on you, absolutely not! Glad that guy had his parents go with you, and no that is definitely a scary situation but glad to see you made it out. That was very nice of them to send that plant. Also you’re just great, I very much enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much Brian! I really appreciate that. I am glad it turned out okay in the end too, it just drives me crazy to this day as to what the whole situation actually was! I wonder where they are now.
Not scary but I babysat these two terrors one summer when I was 16. Long story short, did you know that if you rip open batteries you get a huge flame and battery acid burns on your hands? Yeah, I didn't either. That's what I learned from those kids. I had to hide all the batteries in the house.
My scariest babysitting story is one time when I was baby sitting, I heard shouting and so I peaked out the window. I saw SWAT cars and cops and shields and semi automatics on every person! I closed all the blinds and locked the doors and took the kids downstairs to the play room. No shots were ever fired and eventually they left and so we were all fine. But I found out later that there was a domestic violence situation in the house next door and the man of the house was armed and holding his spouse hostage and threatening to shoot her because she like crashed his car or something.
I've got a good one! I was 16 or 17 and had a bf who was allowed to stay over.(bad mom,I know,but at the time she seemed so cool to me and my friends). Anyways it was like,5:30 or 6 in the morning and I was awake bc my bf had just left for work. Oh, and I had my room in the basement. It was still mostly dark and I was halfway sitting up. I'm looking at the door,and all of a sudden the doorknob starts turning. My heart jumped but then I thought it must be my bf coming back for something. So I'm sitting there frozen,so scared watching the doorknob turn ever so sloooowly . It was seriously like something out of a horror movie. Finally the door opens and there is this tall figure with a trench coat standing there! I can't remember what I said,but it was something pretty meek like,who is it? Or who are you? The man just took off thank God,and unfortunately this was the start of me not feeling safe in my own home. I was voted best looking girl in school and had all the creepy guys semi stalking me to prove it. This was the late eighties and people just weren't as educated about stalking,date rape,etc as they are today.
Well,it took way too long and probably 6,yes, 6 more freaking times(one when I was so angry I chased a guy down the street in just my underwear and t-shirt!!!) We got some motion-detector lights,which worked on one side of the house but not the other!? Hmm,thinking back I think I just got kick-ass!! Haha I remember one time these guys from school stole our VCR with a movie in it. The movie was coocoon,(is that how you spell it?) Worst movie ever and we had to pay back the video store $100. Funny now!
I have a lot of my smaller plants in medium sized pots in anticipation for them growing larger... and I too tend to accidentally water them as if they are medium sized plants : Z Might give changing some back to smaller pots to avoid myself saturating the poor little guys : Z Awesome tip... thank you : )
Speaking of Cactus and Tropicals and repotting. I go there pretty often but recently I went to the Draper location and the lady that was helping seemed to maybe be giving me false information. I bought a pretty big golden pothos and it’s roots are like coming out of the pot and the pot is warped due to root growth. It’s way too big for it and she said not to repot it because pothos prefer to be root bound but like... it’s going to break out of this pot. What should I do? Do you find their staff are usually pretty correct? She said that “the growers” that Cactus and Tropicals use have all their plants in their pots for a reason and it would be bad if I repot this thing. Help!
If its growing out of the pot definitely repot it. You may have to cut the old pot away. Generally you'd just size up an inch or two but if it's that full you may be able to give it a little more room to let the roots spread out some. I bet they're wrapping around the bottom.
That's so scary!! They should not have put you in that position as a middle schooler! 😳 and tell us about the ghost in your house that was such a cliff hanger! 😂
Hey h Harlie ....hadn't seen your vedeos (I have an accent 😫)in a while....I almost p in my bed laughing while watching the video of the additional string of pearls that bloomed seen it..and will watch it again and again...u guys should charge for us to watch these videos it's like a movie comedy....this one was mystery to die for...causeI really started hearing someone tampering with the entrance door nob of my apt ...my heart started beating Real fast ...after a while thank God it was my daughter . Please tell us the one of the ghost in you house ....that one I'll watch during the day like for real and I'm an old lady🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽 we llllloooovvvee ❤️👏👏👏 You !!!!!!!
I definitely will do another story time repotting of the ghost stories! I am glad it was your daughter haha A lot of stuff has happened in my house with the ghost. I love you! You are so great. Thank you for watching!
that’s so cool, you & i received a watermelon peperomia around the same time! LOL, repotted mine not too long ago, when do you think is a good time to fertilize them after repotting? because i’m already starting to notice a calcium deficiency occurring 🥺
This is TERRIFYING!! Like, as an adult this is scary. Also, any tips to take care of an alligator fern? I bought a beautiful one and I don’t wanna kill it
The scariest babysitting story I know of is actually pet sitting. Basically, my mom’s neighbors went away and asked her family to feed the cat. Anyway, the cat was trapped in the basement and didn’t like it down there so my mom was trapped in the basement for ages and had to wait until the cat got bored and wandered far enough away, so she could sprint up the stairs and escape. She made my grandmother feed the cat after that 😂
I’ve lived in 2 houses with ghosts. One pulled pranks all the time. Like opening and closing doors and hiding clothes and harmless stuff. Drive my dogs crazy !!!
That’s terrifying, for real!.... What kind of people would put a teenager in harm’s way?!...... But wait, did Harli G just say there’s a ghost in her house?... That’s even scarier!!!😳😩
about 2 years ago, i was babysitting my mom’s best friend’s kids. their family lives in a neighborhood and one of the mom’s friends lived up the road, and he was terrifying. he was a drunk who only had one leg and was always yelling.. one day while i babysitting, he came to get the mom’s car keys because he had permission to borrow her car for an hour or two. about 8 hours later after i was done babysitting, he still hadn’t came back with her car and i told her. she calls him and starts screaming at him to bring her car back or she was going to call the cops. she then asked me to drive around town and look for him, and i did. i got back and said i didn’t find him, so she told me to watch the kids while she walked down to the street to his house. he was there, but her car wasn’t. apparently, he was high from huffing paint thinner and she tried to pour the paint thinner out in his yard, but he threw it on her while she had a lit cigarette in her hand. after that, the police was called and him and the mom stopped being friends lol. the craziest thing that’s ever happened to me honestly. oh, and she did get her car back.
Once when I was maybe 10 or 12, two unknown men came and knocked on the door, I was at home alone. Don't ask me why but I opened the door and they asked about my family and I had a big dog. I think they even asked what kind of breed. Like I said, I don't know why I opened the door, but when they left the house, I ran around and locked all the doors and windows. It was quite late in the evening and I was afraid of the dark. I didn't know what to do, alone and scared as I was. My mind just thought that as soon as they come back they will do something to me. By coincidence, my aunt calls and I answer, trying not to cry but after a few words I burst into tears. Like I said, I was just thinking that something is going to happen to me so I didn't think to call my parents. My aunt asked her husband to call my parents while we were talking. They came home shortly after that. I'm still afraid of the dark, and i'm 25..
"...and if he breaks through your barricade and follows you out of the basement we need you to shoot him in the head or chest okay, here is a shotgun and one of the kids should be able to show you how to use it..."
OMG HAHAHAHAHAHA I'M CRYING ACTUAL LAUGHTER TEARS
Lmaoooooo
For reeeallll what the hell lolll
From someone who loves the true horror community/narrators here on TH-cam, seeing you repot and tell your story was so perfect for me today.
I LOVE TRUE CRIME & SCARY STORY TYPE STUFF. I'm definitely not a great story teller, but it was still fun for me to film (: Thank you for watching!
That is genuinely terrifying!! Who in hell leaves a 15yo babysit three small kids in a situation like that. There sure are some crazy people out there. As always, love the planties! And your hair looks very cute :)
Maria Sudermann thank you! Yes there are lots of crazies out there for sure haha
I bought a little watermelon peperomia two months ago and it’s starting to sprout a bunch of new growth. Don’t tell my other plants but I think he’s my favorite. 🤫
OMG! Can u do more videos like this. You have literally combined my two favorite things, plants and horror😂❤️
That is so scary! Thank goodness you knew the neighbors.
I have a babysitting story that was scary to me but I will never live down.
My dad’s buddy has twin boys. They were about 3 or 4 when I babysat them. I had watched them one time prior and I remember being anxious bc the last time they were all over the place. And when I mentioned “outside” they immediately stripped down naked. Lol. Anyway I was about 15. We were out for spring break. And their mom was a nurse so there was going to be about 4 or 5 hours where neither parent could be home. My dad dropped me off. And at first everything was fine. We played. We went out in the backyard. And to my amazement they didn’t remove their clothes. So I started becoming comfortable and not as uptight. One of the boys asked me for a snack and I went into the pantry which was like a pretty deep closet. I remember having a fruit snack in my hand and hearing the door slam behind me and the door knob jingling. Turning the door knob I was in utter shock to find the door was locked. They had locked me in the pantry!! The milder twin came to the door and started asking me what’re you doing what’re you doing. I said unlock the door buddy. I could hear him fumbling through the drawer right next to the door and started pounding on it with an object saying “I fix it, I fix it.” I felt in my back pocket and a miracle was there.. my phone! I called my dad. He rushed over. I just kept talking to the boys and tried not to freak out. When my dad got there and let me out the object that the milder twin had was a screwdriver.
Still to this day my dad and his buddy joke about it. And his buddies wife always asks me if I could check in their pantry when I’m over there.
I learned two important things that day. Never turn you back on children and to laugh at yourself.
Harlie Lynn oh my gosh! That is scary! I would freak out! But I also don’t blame your fam for messing with you about it 😜😂
Wait. So you say that you have a ghost 👻 in your house and then you leave us hanging like that? , Ah, details please 😄. And yes, that was a scary babysitting experience; what?! Nice job with the plants tho 👍🏻😊
Rosemary B. Bernard haha I will tell about the ghost later on 😋
Dude this IS scary! You’re not being over dramatic
Diamond Ross it really was!
I was literally on edge the entire time. And like, I do have anxiety so I get scared veeery easily but I was like WUT
That’s the most insane babysitting story I’ve ever heard!!!!! Those people are psychos for leaving you in that situation. So glad there was a neighbor you could reach out to.
Thanks, love plant friends too. Plant people are so kind. Wouldn't it be a nice world if everyone was a plant person!
Very very true! Every single plant person I've met is an angel!
You are definitely my favourite planty youtuber 🌱🌵🌴 your personality makes me feel so warm inside ☺️
That is a terrifying story and thank God nothing happened. Omg I'm like seriously so excited right now!! I'm so glad you got the plant and it arrived safely. Thank you so so so much 💙💙 Love your channel and I can't say it enough but you and your mom are an inspiration to the plant community on TH-cam. You engage with your viewers and make us feel like family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do!! 💙💙
So glad I came across your channel recently, I've been binging your videos :)
I recently got really into houseplants, and I'm learning a lot from you!
Thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. I am glad you enjoy the videos (:
I loved this video. I loved that it was longer and I loved the story time! More of this pleaseeee 😊💕
Amanda Bortle okay! I will continue doing this kind of video 😊
Now that is a scary babysitting story. You sure handled it better than I could have. And I do want to hear about the ghost too! Is it messing with your plants?
OMG Harli, you tell a gripping story!!! My father died and we got rid of a lot of his clothing, including ALL of his shoes. I was there when we gave them to the thrift store. The next morning a pair of shoes that we gave away was on a kichen chair. Another great video Harli!! 😀
oh my goodness! That gives me chills!
Wow! Wasn’t expecting a scary story! Loved it & the repotting!
You should do more repotting videos that are also storytimes!! I love this video and have watched it like 10 times!! Lol
Hi Harli! What a scary story! I can't believe the grandparents did that to you and their grandkids! Crazy! Ok, now I need to hear more about your ghost...☺️Please????? Good repotting/story telling video. TFS!
Yes! I will definitely talk about the ghost in the next repotting video (:
OMG that story is TERRIFYING!!! who are these psycho people out there???
I KNOW HUH
I planted my watermelon plant in a small pot and it did fine, but produced nearly no leaves. I reported into a bigger one and BAM - 5 or 6 new leaves!
2 of my favorites: Harli G + Story Times!! Yay!!!🙌🏻 Dude...that was scary, middle school me would’ve peed my pants.😂😂😂
Deya I would even today if it happened haha I don’t think I understood how dangerous it really was back then
Harli G Same! On the inside I probably would’ve been like soooo...we’re going to my house instead😂 Or at least I am, y’all decide what you want😂😂😂
Enjoyed the scary story and the repotting of some beautiful plants. Thanks for sharing
Kathy Gilbreath thanks for watching Kathy! 💕
Harli!
You are crazy girl!!!
So I decide to repot a few plants with
you at 2am and listened to your story. Creepy story, but the idea of story time is way cool.
But... Ummm.....
What in the world was this?!?!?
You have a ghost in your house, but wow, look at this pilea???
I almost fainted laughing so hard!
Keep the stories coming!
Love you and your parents, especially when plant shopping!
Robyn
HAHAHA Thank you for your comment. You made me giggle :P
This storytime /repotting video is so good ! I want some more ! 😍
Thank you! If majority of people seem to be enjoying them, I may make it a regular series on my channel!
Wow thats freaky. I wouldv'e been scared too. Love your plants.Thanks for sharing😊👍❤.
Thanks for watching!
@@HarliG You're very welcome Harli😊👍❤.
Half of the time I’m potting plants I listen to the my favorite murder podcast, it’s two women talking about true crimes stories and they often end with feeding a vocal cat a cookie so it balances out the scare factor haha. But they also have “hometown murders” where they talk about emails of people retelling different murders that took place near them or to people they knew it’s crazy and amazing.
Anyway love your videos 💚
Wow, you are a really good story teller. I was so captivated by the story I didn’t even notice the plants 😂
Would you consider doing a video about the size of pots and how you determine what size pot a plant should use.
I order bare roots plants because I don’t pot in soil but I have no idea how to tell if a pot is too big or too small.
1st time watching and keep me filled in about the watermelon peporonia I just purchased one. Nice video
Oh I definitely will! It's such a unique plant, I am happy you were able to snag one too! (:
Best video ever ! So relaxing & calm ! ^^
Yay! Thank you! They are relaxing to film too (:
Fantastic ! :D ^^
Wow, that's quite the story! Also, your watermelon peperomia looks so so cute in terracotta. Makes me want to repot mine in a terracotta pot
I'm obsessed with the growth and size of your Pilea. While mine continued to push new growth all winter, it equally dropped as many lower leaves at the same time. I just tried repotting in in a smaller container...hoping that maybe that helps...not sure what else to try. :-/
I kept getting a weird image flashing up for like a frame randomly and it’s freaking me out 😂 don’t know if it’s a phone glitch or a video issue, but definitely adding to the creepiness 😱
Me too, i was trying to pause it at the right time but had a hard time doing it 😅
So weird! I just watched the video through on all of my devices & I don't get a flashing image on any of them! I am so freaked out!
@@NerdyRaindrops OMG if you got it LMK I watched the vide on 3 devices & I didn't get a flashing on any of them! Sooooo freaky
@@HarliG it was an image of you in mid talk. I thought it was the thumbnail but its just you. It was really weird lol nothing too spoopy!! It might have been caused by a bad internet connection or something!
@@HarliG for some reason its not doing it anymore >.>
You’re giving off 90s vibes today 😎
I tried! :P
I love your videos I’m so happy I found your channel. 💚
Love the watermelon peperomia, just bought one today so I'm watching all the videos I can so when it arrives I don't kill it...
Ok yeah, I would’ve been terrified as an adult too! Do you reuse the soil when you repot your plants? And every time I get potting soil it’s completely soaked in the bag. Any advice on how to dry it out a little?
Omg pls make more repotting videos while also telling scary stories so much funnnnnnnnn
The only really scary babysitting story I have is from a few years ago. I keep my 4 younger siblings for my mom and our house is already kinda creepy as it is (idk about any ghosts, but it’s definitely weird), and I was keeping them the night before open house for school. There was an old baby toy in the back screened in room and it was one of those little pianos. We sleep in the living room and that screened in room is right beside the living room. It kept going off for like 40 minutes straight and then stopped and started again and played periodically ALL night. I didn’t know if it was like a ghost or someone outside of our house messing with us. Me being the smart person I was, I went upstairs to get the oldest of my sisters so if somehow something happened to me the younger ones wouldn’t be alone. I go and check the toy once she’s downstairs and there’s literally nothing there. It’s close enough to a hole in the screen that someone could have been messing with it. My sister also thought she heard someone on the front porch so we stayed up all night because we were scared. We were smart enough to at least text our parents and they told us to call 911 if we needed to. I ended up making my fiancé come stay at the house a couple months later bc the toy started going off again! He threw it away for us. I’m scared to go outside at my moms house at night so there was no way I was going to
Let me tell you something about the Crown of Thorns (which in Spanish I call "Corona de Cristo") that might help you to improve it. First of all, you should treat this plant like a cactus or succulent, so low watering and soil should be completely dry before watering again. Also, place it where receives too much direct sunlight, this plants love it.
Hopefully, following this advices you should not only get the plant to grow again, but also to bloom. Greetings from Monterrey, Mexico.
Thanks for the care tips! I think I'll move this one outside for the summer so it grows better (:
Hi!!! Could you please suggest a liquid weekly or monthly fertilizer that doesn’t stink? I have lots of plants around my couch and don’t want something gross and stinky ❤️❤️
Youre so pretty!! I love your plant vids! I aspire to have my house as full as you one day! I would love you to do a video on indoor pest control (fungus gnats, moldy tops of soil, mealy bugs, etc)
oh yes! I will definitely start doing more videos about pests! Thanks for the video idea (:
I just bought a silver pothos from Walmart today and the soil has a greenish tint to it and its pretty dense. Do you think I should repot it now or wait for it to adjust to my house first?? Also should I make a special soil mix for it? Your videos are so helpful and entertaining! :)
Sounds like the soil might have some algae growing on it?? That or some other kind of bacteria from overwatering and humidity??? Otherwise it could just be the soil they used? But just in case...I 'd repot it
Thank you!!
I would definitely repot!
Loves the story time 😍😍 love you!
THANK YOU LOVE YOU
When you said sorry this video is all over the place I thought most of your viewers are all over the place, probably. Or just me. Either way, no worries. I enjoyed it!
It is extremely scary to be home alone with kids at night... I cant imagine how you felt at that age. My husband used to work rotating shifts so I'd be home alone at night for 2 weeks at a time... at that time I only had one and every night was nerve racking. Then I got my pitbull and he eased so much anxiety. Crazy how pets have that affect on us. Also, I ordered alocasia seeds on Amazon. Only $5 so I'm not expecting much lol
harly you are queen of wonders
the queen of plants
and the queen of beauty
thank you harly for this great video and you have a nice plants 🌹🌹
Cat Rat you are always so nice to me 😭💕
That’s crazy. I would have been freaked out too. Especially at that age! 😖 I like scary stories around a camp fire. 😬
Also... you have really pretty eyebrows!!! #eyebrowsGoals
One of these days you should give a peak of that macrame hanging thingy on your wall (black&gray). Macrame and plants go hand in hand. 😍
Oh thank you!! Yes I definitely can show the macrame thing! I actually made it last year with my sister! It was soooo easy to do!
Harli G DIY Please!!! 😬
Hi Harli!!! Yas pizza and coffee vomit! I noticed that you potted the Pilea on the white pot that I’m pretty sure is a pot from ikea. That one doesn’t have a drainage hole right? Just wondering how you change your care for them if it doesn’t have drainage.... or did you drill a hole in that one?
Harli I liked hearing your story. Do you have anything in you bowl but potting mix? I use Black gold,but for my Calathea etc,should I add orchid mix or charcoal ?
I add just a bit of perlite to the soil for my calathea, but that's all I use for them! They prefer a slightly dense potting mix.
Thats terrifying, especially as a young kid. I relate when you say you were too shy to speak up about the uncomfortable situation. Its weird analyzing things like that as an adult
What I took from this story was how crappy my parents & grandparents were with all their "loving me". You'd think if they really loved me they'd have left me with an older middle school girl to look after to me overnight! I seriously would've been all "thank you, Universe" 🙏 😁
HAHAHAHAHAHA OMG
This was only scary when it was happening but when i was 15 i was babysitting a 2-3 months old baby in a small apartment overnight because the parents were out of town
Once it was time for the night sleep i put her to sleep on the couch and everything was good until about 30 minutes later i felt like i needed to check on her, so i went there to touch her chest but i couldnt, something (maybe my own mind playing tricks on my body) physically kept me from touching her, my hand just got stuck 1cm above her. That took like only a couple of seconds so then i got really nervous and just picked her up, trying not to wake her, and tried to put her to sleep in the parents' bedroom but for some reason as soon as we entered that room she started crying, she would stop and go to sleep when i stepped out, and would cry again when i stepped in
At first i thought it may be because she knows that room means "sleep" and maybe she didnt like to sleep there but she barely slept in that room anyway. And she was fine even when i was right outside that room. Im 20 now but remembering that moment still terrifies me
love the video.. couldn't find a watermelon pepperoni couple weeks ago now they all are all over the place
have 3 of them now ..lol
It's funny how that happens! That's how I feel about Pilea Peperomoides! For a while they were so elusive, but now they are just everywhere.
What kind of potting mix do you use!?
this shirt is so beautiful on you !
Harli, what is the first plant you potted? It is the tall plant. Leaves were green with maybe dark red splotches.
Sonja Massey synadenium euphorbia!
Hi Harli , I know this is an old video but do you think you could tell me what the second plant that you repotted is? I have the same one and I cannot figure out the name it was gifted to me.
I'm so sorry that you had to experience something like that anf I don't think you were being over dramatic at all. Situations like that are terrifying, even if nothing bad happens.
My aunt had a similar experience while babysitting me when I was young and she was probably the same age as you were. My dad, who has no custody over me, kept calling the house and threatening to send people over to take me from her and hurt her. I would suggest that everyone who babysits avoid families with drug abusing parents who do things like my father or the father in this story. 😬
I found a watermelon peperomia yesterday too!!! 😍 funny how things happen
Yay! They are so beautiful!
Definitely interested in this ghost you have!!!
What potting mix do you pot your plants in? Wanting to repot a philodendron pink princess but not sure what the best soil mix would be to repot in
I use black gold all purpose potting soil, perlite, & orchid bark for my philodendrons!
Where do you get your coloured terracotta pots from??? They are so cuuuute!!!
I get them from a local nursery! I have seen similar ones from pistils nursery online though!
@@HarliG They are super cute especially the pastel colored ones. Thanks! Will look out for them online. I don't think i can get them in my local stores here. :( Love your videos! I just got into gardening and i am totally obsessed!
How often should I water my spider plant, the tips of her leaves are browning, and should it be filtered water . I’m a beginner. I’m also propagating a monstera deliciousa what soil should I pot it in when it grows roots ?
If possible I would use filtered or distilled water! I only water mine when the soil is almost completely dry!
What?? 😳That’s insane to involve you in that situation! I like this video!
Wow scary story, you are not being over dramatic, and when you're younger like you were it was super freaky. You have a ghost in your house? now that is scary. My best friend had one or more in the house they sold, and it was really creepy. I love your videos, they are always so interesting and real, Lol, thanks Harli, see you in your next video, bye for now.
That story was nuts!😳
You're most certainly not being overly dramatic. You were placed in dangerous situation and the grandparents were very aware of it. You handled it well, and I'm glad you're ok.
Loooooved this story-time videos!!!! I vote more pretty please! :)
Hey Harli, I’ve recently repotted some plants a mixture of mature and baby plants. Should I have put the baby plants in small plastic pots or was it okay to put them straight into medium sized plastic pots?
It more depends on the plant type! Some plants like a lot of root space, some prefer a more compact container. What kind are they?
Yay a new video I love you harli
Omg I’m dying to know what town! I used to live in a super small town in Utah too!
Alright buckle up. When I was pregnant with my second daughter me and her dad moved into a less than move in ready house. It had been vacant for 3 years and there had been problems with squatters. So my bf worked 3-11 and I closed a grocery store at 9 then I was home alone with my daughter until around midnight. By less than move in ready I mean there were saw horses in the living room and paint cans and stuff. It did look rather not lived in yet. So I got home from work put the baby to bed and started reading a book in my bed and I hear the back screen door pop open and start swinging against the frame...slightly weird but not a big deal. Weird enough that I stayed in my bed until my bf got home. I mentioned it to him and he said yes the screen door wasnt latched and the back door was unlocked(odd but whatever). The next day I go downstairs to do some laundry and the coal chute room door is open. It just a little room with no windows and a metal door to outside where the stored coal for heating in the winter. Anyways it's never open theres nothing to do with it, mostly just a spider web den. So I think hey Christmas is coming up, maybe my bf hus my presents in there ima go check it out. These just one plastic Walmart bag in the room. I open it up and theres a human feces in the bag....... someone had broken into my house to squat and I showed up and he/she was trapped in the basement. Nature must have called and I get left this most thoughtful of presents. So after that I had to clear the basement when i got home with a flashlight and blunt object it was a bummer. Pretty sure someone came and stay in my garage as well after that but I wasnt going outside to check. And that's my scary home alone story.
Do you think next time you do a repotting video you could show us how you loosen up the soil from around the roots? I’ve ruined the root system of so many otherwise healthy plants 😭
Yes definitely! I actually have quite a few other repotting videos & in the one with the monstera I think I showed a little better how to do it!
Awww the peperomia is so cute! Story was pretty freaking creepy idk what I would've done. How did your friend find such a big-leafed watermelon peperomia? Mine is a hanging plant from Japan it has the cutest tiniest leaves.
Hi beautiful love the story time. I been trying to get a Pilea and a watermelon peperomia it hard to get over in Norwalk California
It is really hard where I live too! I got really luck that they sent me one! I am so grateful of it!
Ohmigod no that family was definitely in the wrong! That responsibility should not have been placed on you, absolutely not! Glad that guy had his parents go with you, and no that is definitely a scary situation but glad to see you made it out. That was very nice of them to send that plant. Also you’re just great, I very much enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much Brian! I really appreciate that. I am glad it turned out okay in the end too, it just drives me crazy to this day as to what the whole situation actually was! I wonder where they are now.
Not scary but I babysat these two terrors one summer when I was 16. Long story short, did you know that if you rip open batteries you get a huge flame and battery acid burns on your hands? Yeah, I didn't either. That's what I learned from those kids. I had to hide all the batteries in the house.
Shari Nakagawa oh wow! You’re kidding 🙀 that’s so crazy
When did you actually started with plants, im 13 and i just started and i have 17 plants hihi🙃😍
My scariest babysitting story is one time when I was baby sitting, I heard shouting and so I peaked out the window. I saw SWAT cars and cops and shields and semi automatics on every person! I closed all the blinds and locked the doors and took the kids downstairs to the play room. No shots were ever fired and eventually they left and so we were all fine. But I found out later that there was a domestic violence situation in the house next door and the man of the house was armed and holding his spouse hostage and threatening to shoot her because she like crashed his car or something.
I've got a good one! I was 16 or 17 and had a bf who was allowed to stay over.(bad mom,I know,but at the time she seemed so cool to me and my friends). Anyways it was like,5:30 or 6 in the morning and I was awake bc my bf had just left for work. Oh, and I had my room in the basement. It was still mostly dark and I was halfway sitting up. I'm looking at the door,and all of a sudden the doorknob starts turning. My heart jumped but then I thought it must be my bf coming back for something. So I'm sitting there frozen,so scared watching the doorknob turn ever so sloooowly . It was seriously like something out of a horror movie. Finally the door opens and there is this tall figure with a trench coat standing there! I can't remember what I said,but it was something pretty meek like,who is it? Or who are you? The man just took off thank God,and unfortunately this was the start of me not feeling safe in my own home. I was voted best looking girl in school and had all the creepy guys semi stalking me to prove it. This was the late eighties and people just weren't as educated about stalking,date rape,etc as they are today.
oh my gosh that is so scary. What ended up happening?
Well,it took way too long and probably 6,yes, 6 more freaking times(one when I was so angry I chased a guy down the street in just my underwear and t-shirt!!!) We got some motion-detector lights,which worked on one side of the house but not the other!? Hmm,thinking back I think I just got kick-ass!! Haha I remember one time these guys from school stole our VCR with a movie in it. The movie was coocoon,(is that how you spell it?) Worst movie ever and we had to pay back the video store $100. Funny now!
I have a lot of my smaller plants in medium sized pots in anticipation for them growing larger... and I too tend to accidentally water them as if they are medium sized plants : Z Might give changing some back to smaller pots to avoid myself saturating the poor little guys : Z Awesome tip... thank you : )
That’s terrifying. I’m sorry you had to go through that
Speaking of Cactus and Tropicals and repotting. I go there pretty often but recently I went to the Draper location and the lady that was helping seemed to maybe be giving me false information. I bought a pretty big golden pothos and it’s roots are like coming out of the pot and the pot is warped due to root growth. It’s way too big for it and she said not to repot it because pothos prefer to be root bound but like... it’s going to break out of this pot. What should I do? Do you find their staff are usually pretty correct? She said that “the growers” that Cactus and Tropicals use have all their plants in their pots for a reason and it would be bad if I repot this thing. Help!
If its growing out of the pot definitely repot it. You may have to cut the old pot away. Generally you'd just size up an inch or two but if it's that full you may be able to give it a little more room to let the roots spread out some. I bet they're wrapping around the bottom.
Pilea are illegal in New Zealand. I am watching you repot it with major envy lol.
That's so scary!! They should not have put you in that position as a middle schooler! 😳 and tell us about the ghost in your house that was such a cliff hanger! 😂
Hey h Harlie ....hadn't seen your vedeos (I have an accent 😫)in a while....I almost p in my bed laughing while watching the video of the additional string of pearls that bloomed seen it..and will watch it again and again...u guys should charge for us to watch these videos it's like a movie comedy....this one was mystery to die for...causeI really started hearing someone tampering with the entrance door nob of my apt ...my heart started
beating Real fast ...after a while thank God it was my daughter . Please tell us the one of the ghost in you house ....that one I'll watch during the day like for real and I'm an old lady🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽 we llllloooovvvee ❤️👏👏👏 You !!!!!!!
I definitely will do another story time repotting of the ghost stories! I am glad it was your daughter haha A lot of stuff has happened in my house with the ghost. I love you! You are so great. Thank you for watching!
that’s so cool, you & i received a watermelon peperomia around the same time! LOL, repotted mine not too long ago, when do you think is a good time to fertilize them after repotting? because i’m already starting to notice a calcium deficiency occurring 🥺
This is TERRIFYING!! Like, as an adult this is scary. Also, any tips to take care of an alligator fern? I bought a beautiful one and I don’t wanna kill it
Why do you change the soil?
Watermelon peperomia is on my wish list as well.
I have my fingers crossed that you find one!
Do you or does anyone know any care tips for the lipstick plant? Xx
Yes! I keep mine a few feet back from a south window & I only water when the soil is dry! I also bottom water it!
The scariest babysitting story I know of is actually pet sitting. Basically, my mom’s neighbors went away and asked her family to feed the cat. Anyway, the cat was trapped in the basement and didn’t like it down there so my mom was trapped in the basement for ages and had to wait until the cat got bored and wandered far enough away, so she could sprint up the stairs and escape. She made my grandmother feed the cat after that 😂
Hahaha that's actually really funny, although I'm sure sitting in someone else's basement for however long would NOT be fun & definitely really scarY!
You crack me up!! 😂🤣😄
I’ve lived in 2 houses with ghosts. One pulled pranks all the time. Like opening and closing doors and hiding clothes and harmless stuff. Drive my dogs crazy !!!
That’s terrifying, for real!.... What kind of people would put a teenager in harm’s way?!...... But wait, did Harli G just say there’s a ghost in her house?... That’s even scarier!!!😳😩
There really is a ghost in my house! I didn't even believe in them before moving here! So many scary things have happened!
about 2 years ago, i was babysitting my mom’s best friend’s kids. their family lives in a neighborhood and one of the mom’s friends lived up the road, and he was terrifying. he was a drunk who only had one leg and was always yelling.. one day while i babysitting, he came to get the mom’s car keys because he had permission to borrow her car for an hour or two. about 8 hours later after i was done babysitting, he still hadn’t came back with her car and i told her. she calls him and starts screaming at him to bring her car back or she was going to call the cops. she then asked me to drive around town and look for him, and i did. i got back and said i didn’t find him, so she told me to watch the kids while she walked down to the street to his house. he was there, but her car wasn’t. apparently, he was high from huffing paint thinner and she tried to pour the paint thinner out in his yard, but he threw it on her while she had a lit cigarette in her hand. after that, the police was called and him and the mom stopped being friends lol. the craziest thing that’s ever happened to me honestly. oh, and she did get her car back.
We just watched the movie The Visit I think it was called where the grand kids went to visit their grandparents they never met.... 😳
Oh! I will have to look into that!
You are not being over dramatic!!!!! That’s terrifying!!!!
Once when I was maybe 10 or 12, two unknown men came and knocked on the door, I was at home alone. Don't ask me why but I opened the door and they asked about my family and I had a big dog. I think they even asked what kind of breed.
Like I said, I don't know why I opened the door, but when they left the house, I ran around and locked all the doors and windows. It was quite late in the evening and I was afraid of the dark. I didn't know what to do, alone and scared as I was.
My mind just thought that as soon as they come back they will do something to me. By coincidence, my aunt calls and I answer, trying not to cry but after a few words I burst into tears. Like I said, I was just thinking that something is going to happen to me so I didn't think to call my parents. My aunt asked her husband to call my parents while we were talking. They came home shortly after that.
I'm still afraid of the dark, and i'm 25..
