You're getting married?! Congrats! I had no idea... I've missed a couple of videos these past months. How exciting! It's going to be a planty wedding, isn't it? I already know you're going to be a gorgeous bride, and the decorations will be outstanding.
You should fully enjoy your wedding day and not even think about "working" totally have the day for the two of you and your family and friends ❤
@leanneneal2009 You're correct. The wedding day should be organic👰♂🤵
1:04:28 I think it’s so hilarious how us cat people are sooo polite to our cats. Like pleases and thank yous! We all do it! ❤❤
Plant chore I wish was always done: poles always watered. I don’t even have that many poles, but having them stay eternally moist would be so nice 😂
Yeah I was thinking of that while I was editing 😂 or all plants magically perfectly watered
I have Philodendron Brazil, Rio and Silver Stripe in the same pot. 12 different Syngoniums in the same pot and is absolutely GORGEOUS. 👍🏾Video.

🪴Happy Planting🌿
I did this with my Pothos. I put about 6 or 7 individual pots into a huge window box type planter. So glad i did!
Yeah window box is probably the next bet once it grows out of this! Glad to hear the pothos worked out well!
Interesting...I decided to repot three of my alocasia together, and I got a lot of flack...and told to wait till spring. But I'm in the middle of doing it today. 🙃😉
It’s defo a bit more stress on the plants in the winter and with alocasias being more stress prone, I get the nervousness. I’m sure they’ll be fine once they get over the change 🥰
I transfered my Alocasia to semihydro in November last year and had absolutely no Problems with it, no one dropped a single leaf. But I must admit that they have grow Lights and some of them are on a heat mat, but not all of them. So I am not that stressed about this anymore xD
Such a great idea, to put similar plants together!
Cacti and succulent growers do it all the time, so why wouldn’t we be able to do it with tropicals!
Plant chore that would magically be done by itself forever: pest treatment
Mainly because it usually needs to happen straight away, cant be planned (unless you are in a country that sells systemics to non farmers)
Haven’t had to do any in ages, but I would really appreciate it if it stayed that way 😊
Changed opinion:
- I don’t like Hoya, except a few (like half my plants are Hoya now)
- I purged most Philodendron, Alocasia, Syngonium, and Scindapsus, theres only a few of each left while I used to think they were my favorite
I think Id pick Indonesia as well (or another South East Asian country) for the Hoya (and Piper and Begonia and Aglaonema and Alocasia and Staghorn Ferns etcetc)
You do need to consider the plants' roots may be hard to separate to re-pot especially when they grow faster in the Spring and Summer.
I did plant about 3 different philodendrons together in each pot last fall. It has saved a lot of time in watering.
I just potted my ficus elastica robusta and tineke together because of this video! They were both just one stem and looked a bit sad, and now I have a full plant that looks interesting because of the two different leaf colours! Now I want to do it with everything 🤣 I also tried to put my two monstera borsigiana together, but unfortunately I didn’t have a pot big enough for that one and had to abort the mission 😂 One had a root ball that was way bigger than I expected!
Loving the scindapsus mixed pot. They will look fab once they've all settled in and started to fill out. I have only done with my black velvet so far, but will combine more!
I literally just finished potting 2 different kind of maranta's together. I love putting similar plants together to downsize 😊
I don't have nearly as many plants as you but I have been combing same like plants for awhile now and I love it. Hope you find it worth your while as well. Have a blessed week.
I am soooo proud of you! That Scindapsus pot...I may need to do that myself! Glad my mixed pot of Ficus inspired you!
Hahaha idk why it was stressing me out so much while I was doing it 😅 but glad I did
Emma you are brilliant! Can’t wait to see that planter fill out with those plants!
I did the same all summer until last fall,now it’s your turn 😂I love ❤️ watching you as it’s snowing here in Maine..Give Cleo a smoosh from me.Stay well 😊
I’m in MA .. looking forward to snow again on Sunday/Monday.
Watering would definitelyyyyyy be a chore I’d love to eliminate lol. Always such a mess 😅
I put my cast iron plants together my milky way and plain green like them so much better this way and dont have any problem with potting together as its a nice way to get some complimentary colours together which makes all the plants stand out more
Yeah! And it’ll make the variegated ones stand out a bit more too
I love your content and have been a long time subscriber and will continue to be (by way of closed caption).Unfortunately I have recently become aware of a voice phenomenon called voice fry that I have quickly developed a strong aversion to. I wish I never heard of it because it's ALL I can hear now😭
Anyways, congrats on the upcoming wedding. Love the plant combos! And I'll be sure to check out your new channel😊
The plants all look great together! I do have some combo pots as well. My ‘weirdest’ combo must be my anthurium Clarinervium and a Scindapsus pictus argyraeus, but somehow the leaf textures make sense together. And the Scindapsus can handle a little drought, which comes in handy since the anthurium is big, they both get watered right on time. ✨
Oh my goodness idk how I’d handle doing something like that. I’m sure it looks great though
Magical pest control!
I would go to Madagascar. The most unique flora and fauna that can’t be found anywhere else on 🌍
The cast iron plants look so good!!!
Yeah pleased with the result 🥰
End result with the sindapsus is gorgeous !!!
Yeah I’m actually really pleased with it 🥰
Definitely my most dreaded chore is pest treatments- spraying down all the leaves, front and back, on all my plants, every week or so when confronted with an infestation is so tedious! That’s one of the reasons I use beneficials but they aren’t 100% 💚💚💚
Oh yeah beneficials do help
Congrats on your wedding !! A question, you're putting together all your sindapsus plants to reduce the number of plants and make a fuller plant. But when you encounter a few long vines you save them for propagation. Do you ever just through long vines away when you prune instead of propagating?
I’m hoping to prop them to put back into this pot later. And I saved some wet sticks in a prop box to hopefully swap later 😉
That’s so crazy that you’re joining your Scindapsus together! I literally was telling myself yesterday that I wanted to add a variegated scindapsus to my standard and see what happens haha.
Honestly I think it should be fine 🥰 go for it n
That was the driest moss I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂🌿💚
Yeah… was not taking care of those poles 😅
@@GoodGrowing 😂😂😂
I love your videos!!!
I've found that Scindapsus don't do as "well" on moss poles as people think - they do fine, but don't particularly size up more than they would anyway, and like you I prefer a "bushier" look even with vining plants. I love combining the same genera in pots! Especially if they have different colors and textures, it saves space and time and can give such nice visual interest. 🥰💚 I hate dusting my plants too. Repotting is my favorite thing to do, if I could get paid to repot plants all day I'd be in heaven!
Yeah I’ve not had any luck with scindapsus on moss poles. Glad I’ve taken them off now. I actually like the silver lady now 😂
Wow Emma, I would have bet money you would have said Pest Management to never have to do again 😂😂🇨🇦
Also, I have 3 different types of Scindapsus together in the same pot. 😊
Great vid Emma! If I had to eliminate one plant chore it would be watering; it’s a chore to do all the prep: ph test, nutrient, moss pole bottles etc.
Yeah but then what plant care would you do 👀
I’d like being able to repot plants whenever I want…even when they don’t need it😑
The scindapsus salad pot will definitely look beautiful once they all start bushing out and trail.
As a hoya nerd, I have definitely seen people combine variegated + regular H Bella and they look adorable. Definitely would not suggest combining any hoyas unless the light and watering requirement is the same as each other- hence variegated and non variegated of the same hoya variety could be cute for instance Hoya latifolia albo + regular latifolia or polyneura + poly albo. Although I do understand saving space but hoya care and blooming care can differ so much to each other so please air on the side of caution.
Thanks! And yeah I don’t think I’ll be potting many hoyas together at all. Thinking maybe my krohniana splash and super silver but most others, yeah I’d keep separate
Cast iron came out lovely
Thanks 🥰
Indonesia for Hoyas. 😊
Thank you for answering my question on grow lights 💕 can I ask where you got your lamp from that is behind you? I think the plants looked so much nicer all planted up together btw ❤
My pleasure! I defo think I’ll do a full video on it at some point too 😉 the lamp itself behind me is a random dunelm one. If you’re in the UK, I can try to find the link if you remind me on IG
@@GoodGrowing thanks so much amazing 🤩
Great video. I love this type of content, I've been thinking of doing the same thing. It is scary, though
Honestly, having done it, so worth it!
I found having a mix of soil and semi hydro plants didn't work for me. The watering is different ie, amount of time between watering and the fertiliser used for each. Hydro fertiliser is more expensive so it's just easier to go with one type of medium and setup. Do you like the Elho self watering insert. Do you believe they sell the outer pots here in Australia but not the inserts. I ordered one on Amazon, not cheap. I haven't received it yet but hoping I love it for the price.
Yeah I absolutely LOOOOOVE the elho inserts. So easy and durable. I hope you love them too
FUN I put philodendron violin together with violin aurea, i want to put together my ficus audrey with tineke. My philodendron jade with brazil.
great job, looks waay better
Potting all your scindapsus should go well, but would they grow slower as they compete for light, and the riots for nutrients
Hahaha 😂 you said natural habitat = Indonesia growers and not central and south America! Oh good, you circled back around to central and south America.
Love the bushy cast iron!
You probably know already that your Scindapsus might curl a bit from being repotted, mine do sometimes, but they'll fix themselves again in a few weeks! 😊
Yeah gunna keep an eye on them for a bit. Hopefully they bounce back fast
A Cleo cameo! 😸
I thought that the dragon scale alocasia was a jewel alocasia. Why are yours so tall? Mine have short stems and are bushy growing.
Dragon scales do indeed Count as Jewel Alocasias although they can get pretty big leafs, I had one twice as big as my Hand O.o In my experience it depends very much on the light how long the stems get, with more light they shorter.
If i wanted to downsize my collection i would only cut the runners and throw them away 🤭
🫶
Ugggg wiping down leaves…. It’s so tedious
Don’t be scared. The worst thing that can happen is they die and you’ll have downsized before you know it 😂
This is a completely unsolicited advice so please ignore if you don't feel like reading it:
Emma, keep your wedding private, for yourself your partner and your loved ones. I'd say actually keep as much from your personal life out of the internet.
