    Her passion for gardening is palpable. I appreciate her wonderful and energetic spirit. She’s such a beautiful person! I adopted a ficus that’s at least 4 years old recently and was struggling to understand why it was so damaged and sad looking and I wanted to help. I’m so thankful for the knowledge and tips so I can help my plant feel better again. 🌱

    I bought one in Ikea, never really understood what "Don't water it too much and too often" means in numbers, but I water it with 0.3 liters of water every 7-10 days, depending on when I remember to do it. It's still alive and new leafs are growing, so it's a good sign :)

You can see it on her face, just like sooo many comments are saying as well. THIS is what you call TLC people. Lol This Woman LOVES what she does. With such care and Meticulous detail.

    Bought one at Whole Foods. Put it in too much soil and it got root rot. Would suggest being careful when they say “water until water runs out of the tray” not to put the plant in a big pot because then that leads to too much moisture in the soil and encourages the growth of fungus/blight. I notice all of hers are in relatively small pots and others I’ve seen in person that are happy are in a pretty compacted soil bed. This is something I learned the hard way.

    I got mine from Ikea early this year. It hated its first place I put it. I think it didn’t have enough light. All the leaves turned yellow and fell off. It was literally just twigs. I refused to give up so moved it to near a bright window with a few hours of sun in a morning and it’s growing all it’s leaves back now and thriving. Mines called Mandy (she looks like a Mandrake from Harry Potter haha) deffo going to try the pebble thing though thankyou.

    Great video. The explanation and visual description were terrific. I learned very much.
    I have just inherited one of these little guys who needs rescuing. It was half dead and now after a few weeks is making new leaves. Instinctively I did trim dead branches and dead roots although I did it with great trepidation.
    But now I see I must do more and bring balance with pruning. This video has given me the courage.
    I’m curious as to whether the leaves contain the Ginseng remedy? If yes how do you use it for medicinal purposes?
    Thank you 1000 times for this great video. Cheers
