#plantupdate #plantcollection #houseplants
I need to stop watching you! (I won't lmao) I always run immediately to Mercari or Etsy to buy plants that you have in your collection! But you've also inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and get into alocasias again, as I've had such rotten luck with them in the past!! Def feel more experienced and have the proper tools to deal with them now. Rip my wallet tho. 😂😭
haha thank you!! 🥹 they’re definitely worth another shot. I think they’re such beautiful plants! I know they can be finicky but start with one and see how it goes 🫶🏻
Your plant room looks AMAZING! I really enjoy your content. 😊
Thank you so much for being here 💚
Its really comforting seeing you so calm about the plants that are now just stumps and were struggling. I've been in a full panic about one of my syngonium that have lost all their leaves and are now just a stump, so its nice to know I'm not alone in the planty struggle 💚
Thank you! Setbacks definitely happen to all of us and some things are out of our control. If you really care about the plant then putting in work to regrow it can be so rewarding! 🥹
I have a Pink Splash Syngonium that is almost dead and idk why. Bc I have a regular generic Syngonium in a 14" pot that is thriving and they both are in the same light (west side) and get the same care. I would love for my Pink Splash to thrive, any advice is greatly appreciated. I live in zone 7b US
All your Plants (and house) in a perfect state, as usual...
❤
That’s so nice of you to say 🥹💚
I love your plant room, you can clearly see all the beauty in every plant. I think its inspiring me to really look at how I present my plants. 😊
Thank you! 🥹 I love coming in here and truly looking at them and how beautiful they are
Pour Vinegar on your doorsteps or were ants are entering at. Simple and easy and TOTALLY works!😊
I used some vinegar to clean my window and haven’t seen them come back since. I moved the Hoya away too 😂
I'm having trouble with ants getting into my rats cage. Vinegar is safe for them, so I can't wait to try this. Thanks for the idea 😁
I love that you chat about the different issues you run into with your plants, it’s incredibly encouraging to see how beautiful your collection is despite the random problems that pop up! It gives me motivation to not give up on some of my problem plants lol. 🥰
Thank you so much! I really try to not give up on them. Sometimes they have a rough start or a setback but it’s so rewarding when they do start growing well.
Sooooo excited for this video!! At home sick so this plus a cup of tea is making my day 😊♥️
Feel better soon! 🥹
Great plant update tour!
Enjoyed this vid. You are comforting to watch and listen to. I most of all appreciate the transparency with your plants. Not that I enjoy the frustration and sad moments of plant parenthood, but it helps to know I am not the only one struggling. I am not as experienced as you yet, but I am learning. Thank you Melissa💚🪴
Thank you! I appreciate it! 🥹 I've had a lot of struggles with some plants lately so definitely feeling that and happy to share the good and bad moments 💚
I just love your videos. I love your attention to detail, and I've learned a lot. Your channel is officially my favorite!! Your plants are sooooo beautiful, but I love your personality and vibe. I'll prob join your Patreon. Never joined one, but I'd love to support you in any way I can, plus it's more content, yay!!
Thank you so much! That's so kind of you to say and it really means a lot to me! 🥹
Your Ficus tineke looks so good! I just adore those leaves, they are soooo beautiful
ENJ💚YED SEEING Y💚UR PLANT UPDATES!!!
Have you ever thought of doing a colab with Sydney Plant Guy you both have such similar collection with such impressive growth. Love your plant room💚
Thank you! Not really, so many people think I copy him and he doesn’t follow me and we’ve never spoken so he probably wouldn’t want to 😅
Melissa your frydek is sad but your saving him,be happy.
FINALLY!😍😍😍
🥰🥰
Love your collection 💚 It inspires me to getting new plants 😅
Thank you!! New ones are fun!!
Your room if beautiful. Love the plants.
Thank you so much! 🥰
All I can think to say is WOW!! Thanks for the tour. I think a good name for your house would be “Plantmore Estates,” a spoof on Biltmore Estates but perfectly appropriate. Great video.
I love that place! 😂
yay love your long vids 💚💚💚💚💚
Thank you 💚
Gorgeous plants an home 😍 Exciting to see your Mag xChrystal babies growing an your Clari having babies!! My Clari has its first inflow! Thanks for sharing 🫶🏼💚
Thank you so much! Yay! Congrats on your inflo!!
@@plantsbymelissa Thank you 🫶🏼

💚🌱☘️🌵💚
Thank you so much 😊
Beautiful plants🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you so much!! 💚
@@plantsbymelissa try to take it out once every two weeks to get the morning sun, so the leaves are more beautiful,,🤩🤩🤩
nice collection
Hi Melissa! Your collection is stunning as always! If you are needing some heavy pots for your taller moss poles Hobby Lobby typically has heavy cover pots for a decent price when they are on sale. 🌿
Thank you! I haven't checked their pots before. I actually have one I can go to. I'll have to check them out :)
I discovered that the previous owners planted Regal Shield in my tropical garden here on Dauphin Island. Before we had a freeze i decided to dig up and a few babies and they LoVe being in a pot. I find they really thrive when i give them room to grow. Your pot is really full and with the wilty leaves they appear to not have enough water too. Plant that baby up and watch it thrive I say!!! Love love uour content and plantie babies.
It’s getting a little snug with the root system! I think I’ve had so many issues with rot and stuff that I’ve been worried to upsize some plants now.
@@plantsbymelissa so what do you feel is the root of the root rot? No pun intended. The media?
All of your plants are so healthy and beautiful! 🌿🌱 Love those kitties in the mix!! 🐾
I'm wondering how often you use thrive? I saw it listed below, do you have a video on it? I was thinking of buying some for my plants. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you so much! I use it mostly for repotting. It’s like a multivitamin but for plants lol. It gives them some extra nutrients but not a replacement for fertilizer. I feel it helps reduce any shock.
I think it would be super helpful if you make a video on fungal infections on plants. It would really help us know what to look out for, if you have pic of how your Alocasia looked with the fungal issues. I have a leaf on one of my Frydeks that is a bit questionable 🥺
I love watching your repotting videos and sorting sad plants. Would have loved to have watched you repotting monsteras. Do they do better in pon or soil ? Mine keep getting rot too.
Both of my Anthurium Magnificum are doing great in PON in no drainage. All of my anthurium imports are going into no drainage either in PON or a tree fern fiber PON mix (for the more thirsty plants). Yours will love it.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Hello! I absolutely love your room. I'm new to your page and was wondering what kind of lighting you use. I'm hoping in a few years to be able to turn a bedroom into a plant room. My husband doesn't like my plants so......... yay
Awesome update Melissa! Loving your plant room...it looks so pretty 👌🏼✨ I really love the white shelving with the 'ladders' on the ends (the one that houses your Pink Princess, Florida Ghost, Mandula) Is that from IKEA? It really houses a lot of plants👏🏼👏🏼 Your plants are looking great and has beautified your house so nicely!🥰
Thank you so much! I purchased it from overstock but you can find the company on amazon too! I have an amazon link for it here: www.amazon.com/dp/B082R4JY4Z?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B082R4JY4Z&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2JYY2NMZQQCOE&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
@@plantsbymelissa Thanks so much 🙏🏻☺️
Halo Melissa love all your videos I was wonder where did you buy the “neoseiulus califomicus 250 mites thank you
Thanks to you I harvested my first corms today do you have to plant them right away or can you wait a couple of days. Loving your channel Thank You so much for all you do 😊
Thank you so much! Yay!! ☺️ as long as they aren’t squishy they should be okay to wait some. I tend to pot them the same day or the next. I’ve stored caladium bulbs dried out over winter and they regrow in the spring but haven’t tried alocasia corms drying for too long.
Fun update! Love this kind of video. How long can a propagation live in stratum? I propped my out I’m tricolor in it and I’m wondering how long I can let it stay in there?
Thank you for watching! I’ve had some in stratum several months now and they’re loving it. It starts to get more compacted over time which can lead to lack of airflow so once you have a decent root system you can transfer ☺️
Def let us know if you decide to sell any props! I’d absolutely want to buy a good bit of them! I like starting my new plants from babies because I find that when I get them from big box stores, they are extremely over watered and die back before I can get them healthy from the being in a peat based soil. Soil like that is fine for hot/dry climates like Florida, be here in New Orleans, it’s wayyy to humid and it stays wet for wayyyy toooooo long. And you have sooo many of my wishlist plants!
Thank you! 🙏 I will definitely let everyone know when I am ready :)
@@plantsbymelissa great!! Thank you! ❤️ patiently waiting!! I’m not usually one to ask but I just want you to know you def have a buyer here!
Hi Melissa! Love plant updates ❤
I am so puzzled as to what got all your Alocasias. It just seems so weird that most of them were affected. Do you think it really was the gloves? I really hope they all bounce back to their former glory soon - I’m sure they will with your care 💕
I’m not sure! It happen shortly after I cleaned all of them. If my rainwater was tainted then I wonder why most of my other plants seem fine. It’s so odd.
Hi Melissa, can you do a more indepth update on the Monstera Dubia!? Can you include info. on if your know when the leafs becomes Bigger and Fenestrated and does its
Metamorphosis change!?
Do you think you could do a video on the process you did for your poles?! Like how did you continue to get them so so big and beautiful!?
Very nice update! Are those two mother vertical grow lights enough for the wall of moss poles to grow happily?
No in my opinion they’re not enough. I have overhead lights too on both sides but even that I feel isn’t enough. Some get more FC than others but the plants need to be within a foot or so of the light for it to be getting enough which is hard to do!
I’m fairly new to your utube so I’m binge watching all your videos. Your White Knight on pole, what is substrate and also it looks like its roots inside pole are growing upwards. Mine is doing same thing. What should I do once they grow out of the top of the pole? Thanks. I am learning so very much from you. Love Luna,Chia and Star. Makes this dog person want a cat. Lol
Hey Melissa 🌹 gorgeous plants. Questions please. How long will you keep your Jacklyn in fluval stratum? And what will you transition it to, after fluval?
Thank you! I actually just upsized her stratum cup lol. It was drying out too fast. Probably a couple more leaves and a decent root system. I’m not sure if I want to do soil or pon. I’m worried about doing too many in pon and then not like it 🙈
@@plantsbymelissa ahhh I see. Ok so, can I ask you what will be the deciding factor when choosing between the two substrates?
What type of gloriosum do you with red petioles? Also reddish on leaves... Why does my new gloriosum have green petioles..no red on leaves.
How much light does BOP get outside? You should have a store to sell all your propagations.
Can you please show us how you cross pollinate plants and how you took care of the berries?
Yes! I did :) I made a video a few weeks back on it! ❤
@@plantsbymelissa I found it right after I watched your video lol sometimes I forget to look before I speak I went ahead and and did my corms last night Thank You so much love your videos 🤗
You need a nice plantsy rug in the middle of the room ❤
Yes!! I need to look for a big monstera one 😂
I hope my variegated Frydek will bounce back from its stump-state. I bought it online as a baby in late May and it promptly lost all 4 leaves. It was in stratum so I watered it and put it in a reservoir but didn’t notice it had holes in the side so I guess it got dry. Ugh, moved it to soil, then moved it back to stratum, then the top of the corm got mushy so I put it back in soil, but the roots look ok😑I don’t have high hopes.
aww oh no! Hoping it pulls through for you!! 🥹
May I ask where the shelf unit next to the closet is from? I like that you can move the shelves so it can be used for taller plants. So many of my plants are getting too tall for my shelf unit.
Yes!! I had that problem too lol. I ordered it from overstock but they have it on Amazon too! Here’s what I have: www.amazon.com/dp/B082R4JY4Z?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B082R4JY4Z&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2JYY2NMZQQCOE&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m_asin
@@plantsbymelissa It looks like the overstock shelves fit on the unit instead of in the unit. Probably going with that one. Thank You.
Enjoy your trip !
Would the golden Pothos get more yellow with more light or does it stay green once it loses the variegation? Your plants are doing so well. I love that you put a pearls and jade on a pole. Curious to see how big the leaves get. Love how you decorate with plants.
Thank you! More light can definitely help bring it out. I had a mostly green golden that had more variegation come back on new growth with more light ☺️
I had a mosty green golden pothos and after it spent last summer in my garden it got very highly variegated, like a hi-colour
Love your channel! I was wondering what happened to you zz chameleon? Did it make it?
Do you think if you took cuttings of the SOP amd stick in water to root they might rehydrate?
I might try some to see what happens to root them on top of some moss. Kinda bummed about it 😔
@@plantsbymelissa fingers crossed
My anthurium "fingers" gets yellow tips, do you think low humidity or overwater? I just checked roots and they are thick and healthy.
Mine does too! It’s annoying lol. I haven’t quite figured it out with that one yet. I upsized it recently so not sure if it’s a watering issue or not.
Do the peduncles on the hoyas fall off because they dry out too much in between watering??
Yes! Definitely can happen!
Everytime I turn around another of my plants has mealy bugs.I’m starting to get really discouraged.Any great advice??
Try beneficials out 🫶🏻 i haven’t tried lacewings yet but I know they do a good job at them. Ladybugs are an option too if you don’t have cats. Males can fly so they can spread around to nearby plants. I try to be really thorough. It takes awhile to treat and check them but it saves more work down the road. Alcohol and a Qtip and a systemic pesticide to kill the eggs in the soil. That combo works for me. You just can’t mix a pesticide and good bugs though. You’ll have to wait a few weeks.
Are you doing a video covering rot? I’ve just watched this and now I’m convinced my calathea has root rot 😢 he has browning edges and fragile/brown lines where the leave meets the stem.
Have you seen the monstera aurea repot video? I talked about rot with that one and how I treated it. Sorry about your calathea!
@@plantsbymelissa thanks I’ll check it out
💚 🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚
Just curious why you don't put your monsteras on moss poles? 😊
The aerial roots grow straight through them. I used to have some on poles but I removed them. I use a stake now to support them :)
When you have plants with root rot, do you avoid watering for any amount of time? Or water as normal..
I let them go pretty much dry before I give more. They won’t be able to take up water like they would normally so as long as the soil has some airflow that will encourage new roots to grow along with light and humidity.
Sweet, thanks for the response!! ❤️
What brand of beneficial predatory mites do you use?
I order from natures good guys website and have been pretty happy with my orders from them. Going to order another round next week!
@@plantsbymelissaThank you for the response. I use Nature’s Good Guys too. It’s hard to tell if it’s working … LOL I guess it is. I will also probably buy more. How often do you buy them? Can you tell me the type of sachet you order? I think mine is for certain mites and thrips. It’s the Neoseiulis Amlyseius Cucumeris.
In summer I'm trying to buy them every 3-4 weeks. I'm about to order more today now that I'm back. I've used a few different kinds of mites and nematodes. I've seen mites active over 6 weeks out and I think they recommend leaving them on for 4-6 weeks. They'll hatch out at different times and I don't want to get rid of them too early. I usually leave the sachets on for awhile and just add new ones when I get them.
I leave mine out for awhile too. I ordered more over the weekend and still waiting for them to be delivered. I end up moving my sachets from plant to plant every few days hoping that I can get some good mites on a few plants at a time. Do you know if there are sachets for mealy bugs too? I don’t have any at the moment…but would like to know which to get if I do see them again. Your plants are beautiful! I’m allergic to moss. I tried it once and oh boy…my hands itched so bad! I wish I could do moss poles. Maybe I should try a different brand.
Nette Sammlung❤
cant wate fr those seedlings i want to bye one off u if u dont mind
