Yeah I have 5 kids girl.. I went through post partum with a few of them… drug addiction… now I’m clean from heroin and addicted to houseplants 🤷♀️ it’s a much less harmful addiction so I’m happy. Omg I hope you get on survivor! I would watch!!
I don’t have 5 kids but I do have one. Her pregnancy saved me from a decades long heroin addiction and I also now redirect that into houseplants! I’m really proud of you. As hard as it is to go through this, it can be harder to speak on it openly so I’m proud of that, too. ❤️
Please don’t ever make excuses for who you are. We’re all here because we enjoy being with you, whatever mood you’re in! Keep being unapologetically you! The people who want to make mean comments don’t need to watch so don’t worry about them ❤️
I love that you don't worry about what your house looks like, or trying to make everything perfect before you film. I think the reason that you are so loved is because you are so relatable and real. That's why I love you!
Ew, who would take the time to comment on your video to say you’re being annoying?!? That says way more about them than it does you. Haters gonna hate. You do you and be proud! Sometimes I feel sad when you put yourself down bc you’re pretty awesome and fun to hang out with on the TH-cam! Keep being you! Glad to hear you’re putting time into finding yourself again 🙂
These are my very favorite of your videos, I love the informal chatty mode, feels like I'm visiting with a friend. Not annoying at all, I ramble much more than you do! Lol if some don't like it, they don't need to watch! I have 4 kids, and I felt after each birth for awhile that a little bit more of my identity was being lost, but it does get better and now they're grown and are my best friends. Always take time for yourself, don't feel guilty about it! It enables you to be a better mom to them! Love your channel, so happy to have a new video by you pop up today! 😊
I'm discovering happiness again but not due to having babies at they're 8 and 14 now; currently getting divorced after 20 years together, it's a very good thing. Ur my favorite TH-camr rn. I just love your style.. you do things like I do for example let propagations sit for a very long time 😂 I love that. And you're so knowledgeable. Love ya girlie, keep making videos please 🥰🥰
I needed some of that energy! THANK YOU for just being you in spite of the fact that you may have been feeling awkward. I've been in a weird funk myself and your vibes are like a breath of fresh air! Embrace the goofy and let the haters hate. 😁
Started watching your channel when the pandemic struck the first time and have been following it since. You are really brilliant in the way you connect with the audience and the only frustrating thing about your channel is that why you haven't reached a million subscribers as yet. You so much deserve that. 👍👍👍
I love plant chores!!!! I had fairly bad depression and anxiety after I had my first kid, it was a little better for my with my second but I totally understand. It’s like your brain is trapped in the body of a mom but your mind hasn’t caught up yet. Something that really helped me was when someone told me every feeling you have is valid, if you are feeling it, it’s a valid feeling for you and you shouldn’t feel guilty about having those feelings even when life is good! Stopping breastfeeding also really helped me regain my sense of self. Hang in there! Do what makes you happy!
I had 2 under 2. I completely know how you feel. 100% normal. Welcome back Harli G. My youngest just turned 1 and I and just now becoming a person again. Not just a mom.
Oh memories of early motherhood! Yes, that feeling that you are getting back to your old shelf is the best. My kids are much older and there are definitely times, even now, when I lose myself again for a period of time. That's why it's important to surround yourself with the things that make you happy. I love your videos! Your humour and personal touches are what make them unique and wonderful.
I just love how chill you are with everything.. You don't get stressed out about brown leaves and I love that you love wonky plants lol ur not obsessed with perfection and I just really appreciate that about you ❤
from a survivor lover… u on survivor would be AMAZING!! i hope u get the opportunity. and youre not annoying, your personality is great… your confidence is contagious!!!
Okay… screw anyone who says you’re annoying! I legit look up to you and vibe with your personality so much! Where you are at in life, is where I want to be! I’m sure I’m not the only one! I have been watching your videos for a while and have been loving the journey!!
There is one specific plant yt that i first heard that bottom watering thing from a while back. Which i thought it was obvious it was the substrate we were referring to but theyre kinda holier than thou about plant stuff anyways. Their persona ig but not my cup of tea. I love these chats. I think most of us can relate to a lot of what youre saying from feeling annoying to losing our identity. These vids are like chatting with a friend😊
Awe Harli, thank you for sharing your postpartum journey. I am feeling the same way after having my baby nine months ago. Hope you continue to feel like yourself and enjoy your trip 💜
I don't usually comment but I really felt compelled to tell you that you're doing a good job! Such a blessing you are on the path of healing and feeling better. Thanks for keeping it real and authentic!
I think the bottom watering issue comes from new plant people that feel like their way is the right way. There are so many plant people giving the same advice online. All basically being influenced from each other; so anything new to them is wrong in their point of view. So you keep doing you, Harli! 🌱
You are not annoying at all, I hope those comments don’t stick with you too much. I love your videos and really look forward to them and have learned so much. Glad you are feeling more yourself and doing things for *you*, it’s much deserved :)
I was totally sad after I had my son. I was one & done cuz it was so hard! Glad to see you are feeling better! It’s truly the best feeling when you start feeling like a person again! & if someone ever says you are annoying, tell ‘em they are annoying back cuz who the Ffffffffff ☠️ does that seriously! So glad to have you back feeling spunky & quirky again! I love your personality & really enjoy listening to you talk cuz it’s real life! Get it gurl! I’m here for it! 🤍💚😎✌🏻
Don’t listen to those people who say that you’re annoying when you speak about yourself on YOUR channel. It’s not their channel. I’m that person who sometimes love to listen to others speak about their lives when they show me what I’m there for. But sometimes I just want to know that important things. So I just speed up the video. So don’t worry! Do what YOU want to do and tell. It will always be people who complains. Your videos and sound are great btw! Which other channels don’t care about.. that’s something people should complain about! 😂🤷♀️
Ryan, I appreciate your honesty! You and Harli remind me so much of my husband and I. It's ok to enjoy different things, but I LOVE how supportive you are. Good luck with your bonsai!
I'm so glad u r taking time for yourself, being a mom is hard sometimes and postpartum is no joke! I totally understand what u r going through, when u have kids and your a mom everyone comes before u and I feel like it so easy to loose yourself and your identity as a person u kind of just become "Mom" and u looses what makes u, u. So I'm glad u r feeling better and recognize that u need time for u💕
The fact that you’re sharing your struggles and acknowledging your own process, filming it, and choosing to keep it in your content, shows that you’re proud of yourself. You should be! Don’t apologize. 💚 We wanna watch stuff grow, n that includes u too! ✨🪴 I’ll say I don’t bottom water often cause I lightly water almost every day, but bottom watering will 10/10 give a plant consistent moisture through the pot! It’s been a life saver for me in terra cotta pots with tight plants! Also, bottom watering gives you an idea of what a “watered” plant pot weighs, especially if it’s thirsty and light to begin with.
Second time watching this video you saying "Kids are worth it but I do not recommend. " I feel that soo much. I love my boys more than anything but omg some days I miss the days of just worrying about me.
Take life as it comes.. You are enjoyable to watch. If people think anything but good things, they can exit. God has blessed you with the gift of gab. Use it! =) Have a great day! Thanks for the video. I've been sick for a couple of days with heat exhaustion and I've been missing your videos. So welcome back into my home!
You are so not alone, it hits every woman different but it hits us and it can be scary at the same time because we start to put the children and husband first and then the house and we lose ourselves in the mist. Congratulations on noticing it early and understanding that “Hey I matter too” because it can be very depressing if we don’t catch it in time… I’m a mom of 5 and I’ve lost myself and forgot what makes me happy for years but watching your content along with other videos of thing and hobbies that I use to love has really helped!!! I SO LOVE YOU GURL, STAY POSITIVE AND KEEP UP THE GREAT CONTENT…. If you feel like crying outta the blue or have to scream real quick because life happens every day as long as we continue to wake up, then do it, don’t feel like you’re crazy, it just means your human !!!! Love ya mama’s and now I’m about to restart your video so I can watch it while doing my plant chores Aloha to you and your Ohana 🙏🏼🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌱🌱🌱🌱
The past few years with the anxiety of covid had a similar effect on me, and I feel like I'm starting to get out of that feeling now! Now that I feel a bit less anxious about getting out of the house, I'm able to go out and do things for me like you were saying. Happy to hear you're feeling more yourself :)
Some of my plants love a good bottom watering! 💫 I think its awesome your taking a trip with your sis! It's so important to take time to yourself as a mama. And yes I feel like it does take a few to regain who you are as an individual after kiddos. Even a 30 min walk or drive alone or alone time in a coffee or lunch spot/ shopping alone, etc. is helpful,.away from the kids. You are so brave and amazing for following your idea of applying for Survivor! Go girl, so inspiring!
Post Partum Depression is a very real thing. It will show its ugly head in many ways. I'm so happy you're feeling back to yourself; it took me years (I had 4 babies and breastfed all of them for 2 years each, which your hormones don't regulate and go back to pre-baby "normal" until after you're done with that, too.) I won't go off on a tangent lol but just know that it is more common than a lot of people are aware of. If you're still feeling off, there are things you can do for it, but it sounds like you're doing alright! Everyone is better when Mama is doing well! 💞
I totally understand being depressed and neglecting my plants at the same time I’m neglecting myself. i’m so glad you were able to get back to yourself, hopefully I will too someday😭
Love this! Since you mentioned it, it took until my oldest grew out of his colicky phase until I started to find out who I was. And he had digestion issues, so “colic” lasted until he was two. My second was adopted, and it was so much easier with more help from family and no hormones and a baby who is a good sleeper. Two very different experiences, so if you have a third, it could be different.
I’m so happy your feeling much better these! Postpartum is real! On a side note….i’m 56 and about idk 6 years ago I went to a BB open call because me and my husband and two girls have been obsessed and low and behold they called me back to sit with the casting directors, record etc. At this point I said to myself “Omg what are you getting yourself Into!” but….that’s as far as it went. It was super exciting and I loved every minute! DO IT!!! Go to any open call you can….I also LOVE Survivor but wouldn’t last a day hahah! Love you and your content Harli ❤️ Also, I just started bottom watering some of my plants and I love it! So easy and the plants love it too
These videos are for you also… not just for our entertainment, for you, your adventure, your life.. whether you’re feeling good or bad. Even if you think you may be rambling on about yourself and your mental state you’re reaching out to others who are feeling the same way. Those who say mean things are the ones you have to ignore because they meant to be exactly that, rude and they’re completely irrelevant. You’re doing great ❤️
Thank you Harli! This is the motivation I needed to do my plant care today! I don't really like using the word chores because I don't want to associate looking after my plants with negativity... plant care is a form of escapism and also therapy I suppose for me, and I want it to stay that way 😊. Also thank you for talking about feeling low and not feeling like yourself. I think it's so good when people are able to express the way they're feeling. It also helps other to feel less alone and encourages them to talk 🥰🪴💚
Yes on the loosing myself after kids and then had to refind myself after each kid. Mine are almost two years apart. I am still trying to find myself. I am excited that both mine are going to school this year so I can really have time to myself with no kids. Your videos and plants helped me have a hobbie for myself that now my oldest likes to share with me. I am also a mom of two boys so it always keeps on my toes.
I have just one child but I definitely had to re discover myself and learn to look after myself separately from looking after the baby and by look after I don't mean just having a shower I mean actually look after myself. Also don't apologise for being silly it's so nice to see you happy and confident. Good luck with survivor I'm not in USA but I hope I could watch it somewhere. I'm doing great thanks for asking, I just started a new career so that's been scary but it's going well. Thanks for the company this morning while I get ready for work 😊
And FYI, I love your voice & personality, you are such a goof ball just like me😂😂😂😂You make me laugh so loud and my children looks at me like mom has officially lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so keep it up 👍🏽
I totally get it. I have a 13 yr gap between my two daughters so starting all over again has been very challenging. I have to remember I was Vee before I was a mother and shouldn't feel guilty about finding time for myself again. I'm no good to my children/family if I'm not happy. I say all that to say I'm happy you're getting on track with your mental health. Proud of u mama.
I had post natal depression with my second which I had no idea was happening.al After my first which was early due to severe preclampsia I got caught pregnant when she was only 6 months. It took me months to feel like myself then it was all taken away again having my second. I'm so glad you've come through the fog and are on the up. Don't feel beaten if you eip down again it's normal and you will go back up too! Much love! Xxxx
It is so great that you are rediscovering yourself. It definitely translates through your videos. You looks great and you seem happier. Your sunny personality is shining thru. And OMG for applying for Survivor. That is AWESOME! 👏👏👏It would be amazing if you made it! 🤞🤞🤞I would totally root for you!!
You do you gurly, u are not annoying to me! I have similar self talk & thoughts so u are not alone. Also, my second babe just turned 1 last week and my first is 3.5yrs old so I'm going thru the same feels that u are. Im finally starting to be able to focus on myself a little more and feel like I catch glimpses of who I was before kids. So I see light at the end of the tunnel and I feel more like myself every week. So glad u are feeling happier lately! Latest for me, my fam and I just moved into a new bigger house. Currently trying to expand my current plants by starting prop boxes in my closet, and looking for new plants to fill up all this space. Also getting used to this north phoenix heat. Trying to get more interested in cacti and succulents 😂 and we just got an au pair last week so that's new.
Love these sort of videos. I feel the same about my plants. I’m going thru menopause and it’s rough but tending and talking to my plants helps me so much. I sure hope you have a blast on your trip.!
Hi ! I really enjoyed this video ! Youre not annoying at all !! Its so true, when you dont feel very well you can see it just by looking at your plants ; I'm glad to know you feel good ; actually you look really good ☺ you seem to have a lot of energy ! Thanks for sharing this. Much love from France.
You're so fun to watch, because you're down to earth, and realistic....not to mention daring! Lol! Love your videos because I'm learning so much from you. Thx :-)
I'm glad you are feeling better, postpartum depression is a mofo for real. Also, thank you for starting a group for us, maybe you could mention it occasionally in your videos or link it in the descriptions. There are a bunch of us waiting to find people in our areas to trade with.
Love you lady and all the helpful info you share, while doing plant chores. As far as, cleaning "as I go" ... I definitely do in the kitchen, all plant stuff, and I cannot function if my bed's not made. 🤭 on the other hand, I've been known to leave clean laundry in a basket for a week or two. Keep being you Harli; you're a gem. 🌿💎
I love your videos! I totally understand loosing and re finding one’s self. I know I’m currently going through that too. And some days are just better than others! Take advantage of those days and don’t worry about what others think. This is YOUR platform. Or I like to say Plant form lol. Anyways. I love your videos, they give me life 💪🏼 Keep it up x Your plant friend!
We love a life update! And personally I love it because I’m also a mom of two boys a 5 year old and 11 month old and everything you say I feel 😂 especially because for months after the baby I completely neglected my plants and they all seem to be thriving now 😄 hope you get on survivor I will totally be watching that!!!
Im not naturally tidy. Just three weeks ago I committed to picking up as a I go for a week to see if it became a habit. I’ve been sticking to it fairly well, but have my off days for sure. As for you wondering why people have been commenting more about bottom watering, another TH-camr put out a video a hole back about why he thinks bottom watering is “bad”. To each their own! I do both, just depends on the plant and how dry I let the soil get. Both work :)
You’re not annoying at all.. I love when your happy and silly!!
Exactly!
I don’t deserve you thank you 🥹♥️
@@HarliG yes thats a huge chunk of why we love you Harli!
Anyone who calls you annoying needs to get off your channel! We love you for you! So happy you’re feeling in a better place :)
Yeah I have 5 kids girl.. I went through post partum with a few of them… drug addiction… now I’m clean from heroin and addicted to houseplants 🤷♀️ it’s a much less harmful addiction so I’m happy. Omg I hope you get on survivor! I would watch!!
So proud of you xx

If you're still feeling off, there are things you can do for it, but it sounds like you're doing alright! Everyone is better when Mama is doing well! 💞
I totally understand being depressed and neglecting my plants at the same time I’m neglecting myself. i’m so glad you were able to get back to yourself, hopefully I will too someday😭
So excited for the grow tent tour! I can't get enough of your tent and I love how you always have so much going on in there.
Yes it seems when I'm happy , my plants are happy
Love this! Since you mentioned it, it took until my oldest grew out of his colicky phase until I started to find out who I was. And he had digestion issues, so “colic” lasted until he was two. My second was adopted, and it was so much easier with more help from family and no hormones and a baby who is a good sleeper. Two very different experiences, so if you have a third, it could be different.
Girl I LITERALLY love hearing you talk, your train of thoughts are similar to mine, so I relate to your talks a lot.😂
I have never felt you are annoying. I've always enjoyed listening to your program!!
I'm glad you open up like that! The same thing happens to me when I'm struggling...my plants struggle!
I’m so happy your feeling much better these! Postpartum is real! On a side note….i’m 56 and about idk 6 years ago I went to a BB open call because me and my husband and two girls have been obsessed and low and behold they called me back to sit with the casting directors, record etc. At this point I said to myself “Omg what are you getting yourself Into!” but….that’s as far as it went. It was super exciting and I loved every minute! DO IT!!! Go to any open call you can….I also LOVE Survivor but wouldn’t last a day hahah! Love you and your content Harli ❤️ Also, I just started bottom watering some of my plants and I love it! So easy and the plants love it too
These videos are for you also… not just for our entertainment, for you, your adventure, your life.. whether you’re feeling good or bad. Even if you think you may be rambling on about yourself and your mental state you’re reaching out to others who are feeling the same way. Those who say mean things are the ones you have to ignore because they meant to be exactly that, rude and they’re completely irrelevant. You’re doing great ❤️
out of my headnut comes not much except happiness with your enthousiasm and your video!
Thank you Harli! This is the motivation I needed to do my plant care today! I don't really like using the word chores because I don't want to associate looking after my plants with negativity... plant care is a form of escapism and also therapy I suppose for me, and I want it to stay that way 😊.
Also thank you for talking about feeling low and not feeling like yourself. I think it's so good when people are able to express the way they're feeling. It also helps other to feel less alone and encourages them to talk 🥰🪴💚
Yes on the loosing myself after kids and then had to refind myself after each kid. Mine are almost two years apart. I am still trying to find myself. I am excited that both mine are going to school this year so I can really have time to myself with no kids. Your videos and plants helped me have a hobbie for myself that now my oldest likes to share with me. I am also a mom of two boys so it always keeps on my toes.
I have just one child but I definitely had to re discover myself and learn to look after myself separately from looking after the baby and by look after I don't mean just having a shower I mean actually look after myself. Also don't apologise for being silly it's so nice to see you happy and confident. Good luck with survivor I'm not in USA but I hope I could watch it somewhere. I'm doing great thanks for asking, I just started a new career so that's been scary but it's going well. Thanks for the company this morning while I get ready for work 😊
Harli G...thats why you are one of my fav houseplant you tuber because of your personality.So dont change a bit.Keep been you.
I’ve never been suuuuper into survivor but I would soooo watch a season with you in it
And FYI, I love your voice & personality, you are such a goof ball just like me😂😂😂😂You make me laugh so loud and my children looks at me like mom has officially lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣so keep it up 👍🏽
I totally get it. I have a 13 yr gap between my two daughters so starting all over again has been very challenging. I have to remember I was Vee before I was a mother and shouldn't feel guilty about finding time for myself again. I'm no good to my children/family if I'm not happy. I say all that to say I'm happy you're getting on track with your mental health. Proud of u mama.
I had post natal depression with my second which I had no idea was happening.al After my first which was early due to severe preclampsia I got caught pregnant when she was only 6 months. It took me months to feel like myself then it was all taken away again having my second. I'm so glad you've come through the fog and are on the up. Don't feel beaten if you eip down again it's normal and you will go back up too! Much love! Xxxx
I'm so happy you're starting to feel more like yourself! ❤️
It is so great that you are rediscovering yourself. It definitely translates through your videos. You looks great and you seem happier. Your sunny personality is shining thru.
And OMG for applying for Survivor. That is AWESOME! 👏👏👏It would be amazing if you made it! 🤞🤞🤞I would totally root for you!!
I can't thank you enough for suggesting the plant food. My plants have been amazing since I started using the food.
You do you gurly, u are not annoying to me! I have similar self talk & thoughts so u are not alone. Also, my second babe just turned 1 last week and my first is 3.5yrs old so I'm going thru the same feels that u are. Im finally starting to be able to focus on myself a little more and feel like I catch glimpses of who I was before kids. So I see light at the end of the tunnel and I feel more like myself every week. So glad u are feeling happier lately!
Latest for me, my fam and I just moved into a new bigger house. Currently trying to expand my current plants by starting prop boxes in my closet, and looking for new plants to fill up all this space. Also getting used to this north phoenix heat. Trying to get more interested in cacti and succulents 😂 and we just got an au pair last week so that's new.
Hi Harli! You are definitely not annoying. I personally find it very entraining when you talk about your life. It’s like talking to a friend 💗
You just need some me time. I enjoy watching and getting ideas for my plants from you. You have great personality.
Love these sort of videos. I feel the same about my plants. I’m going thru menopause and it’s rough but tending and talking to my plants helps me so much. I sure hope you have a blast on your trip.!
Hi ! I really enjoyed this video ! Youre not annoying at all !! Its so true, when you dont feel very well you can see it just by looking at your plants ; I'm glad to know you feel good ; actually you look really good ☺ you seem to have a lot of energy ! Thanks for sharing this. Much love from France.
And also, I love your chatty videos! You're fun and happy and relatable! You be you girl 😍
Hello from Costa Rica Harli!!! I hope you have fun and enjoy when you come!! 🙌🏻🌿🇨🇷 Pura Vida! 🤙🏽
Lovee this type of content, just plant friends hanginnn out
HARLI!! I’m soooo happy to see you HAPPY! And I need to see you on Survivor 🤣
You're so fun to watch, because you're down to earth, and realistic....not to mention daring! Lol! Love your videos because I'm learning so much from you. Thx :-)
I'm glad you are feeling better, postpartum depression is a mofo for real.
Also, thank you for starting a group for us, maybe you could mention it occasionally in your videos or link it in the descriptions. There are a bunch of us waiting to find people in our areas to trade with.
Glad you’re feeling happier! ☺️❤️
Love you lady and all the helpful info you share, while doing plant chores. As far as, cleaning "as I go" ... I definitely do in the kitchen, all plant stuff, and I cannot function if my bed's not made. 🤭 on the other hand, I've been known to leave clean laundry in a basket for a week or two. Keep being you Harli; you're a gem. 🌿💎
i love videos where you’re your own hype man!
Glad you are “finding” yourself, though you may have never been lost, just on a different path for a bit while taking care of the littles! :)
I love your videos! I totally understand loosing and re finding one’s self. I know I’m currently going through that too. And some days are just better than others! Take advantage of those days and don’t worry about what others think. This is YOUR platform. Or I like to say Plant form lol.
Anyways. I love your videos, they give me life 💪🏼
Keep it up x
Your plant friend!
Just moved waiting for my stuff to arrive and trying to keep things organized!
I had plant chores to do today, so this is perfect timing! 😍
I chop my plants if they have the tiniest yellow as well lol. Also, you’re not annoying! Your fun to watch! Glad you’re feeling better!
Dude!! I just discovered your channel - I yelped in excitement when you mentioned survivor!! Best show ever!!
We love a life update! And personally I love it because I’m also a mom of two boys a 5 year old and 11 month old and everything you say I feel 😂 especially because for months after the baby I completely neglected my plants and they all seem to be thriving now 😄 hope you get on survivor I will totally be watching that!!!
Happy to see you, happy! You do you, you’re always awesome! ❤️
Im not naturally tidy. Just three weeks ago I committed to picking up as a I go for a week to see if it became a habit. I’ve been sticking to it fairly well, but have my off days for sure. As for you wondering why people have been commenting more about bottom watering, another TH-camr put out a video a hole back about why he thinks bottom watering is “bad”. To each their own! I do both, just depends on the plant and how dry I let the soil get. Both work :)
So happy for all of us to have you are back.
Love these kinds of videos.
