I don't think anyone who watches you will be upset that you share your struggles. We all go through them, everything is going to work out : )
I haven't spoken to my sister in 7 years. Trust yourself as you only know what's best for yourself. 💚
Setting boundaries is the healthiest thing you can do for yourself. I haven’t spoken to my mother or my brother in years. My life is better without them in it. Feel free to share your feelings. If your subscribers didn’t like you as a person, they wouldn’t be subscribers. I don’t watch planty videos for the advice because I’ve been growing longer than most of you have been alive. I enjoy seeing everybody’s plants & the planters you choose for them. It helps keep me mindful about taking care of mine on those days I don’t feel like it. Now, it’s time to water 💦

We're all friends here Harli, it's ok to share 🧡🌿
We all know what it feels like to remove negativity from our lives. You are doing the right thing.
"Is this too much to be sharing on the internet? ... Yes." 😂😂
Thats why we love your content, you are so authentic ! 🌱💛
Thanks Harli for being an authentic human, I personally like your sharing, both plant wise and personally too!❤
I was just about to write this exact comment!!
@@yohannaderksen I just love her!
Yes, beginners (like moi) appear far more freq than you realize. Every video I watch I learn something new, doesn't need to be a tutorial. 22yrs ago I got my 1st pot plant, it died. I decided you need to be a gifted type of person to keep plants (no internet back then). Now I soak up as much content and 3 months ago I treid again. The spider plant and wow, it may be the easiest for beginnerd as everyone says, but I'm shocked I didnt kill it. My wife says stop staring at it, it won't grow any faster. Don't care, this is the beauty of nature! LoL
that's a wonderful journey (and so relatable, i also killed my first few plants)! live on, spider plant :)
I thought I wouldn't want anymore kids after my two boys, but I was wrong. My second was about to turn three and it just clicked in my mind and heart that I so desperately wanted to have a third and we did. We had our daughter the following year and couldn't feel more complete. Now I think about having a fourth, but I think we're good on bio kids. Hopefully one day we're fortunate enough to bless more children into our home. ❤
I love a repotting video. I also loved the very beginning, with the sound of each pot getting set down. 😂 I'm also a huge fan of black and white pots. I think any color plant pops in a black or white pot.
You were kinda hard on yourself in this one though, and I was worried about why. Then you mentioned everything you have on your mind. That is so much heavy stuff! I'm glad you've found running to help lift yourself up. I don't have any kids, so I don't have any advice on that, but I have experienced family drama and removing family members from my life. It's not easy, but if it makes you feel better, then it's worth it. Lots of love to you!
Hey Harli! I hadn't watched videos of you (or other plantubers) in months/years and today I felt like trying again but what I truly wanted was a bit of plants and an update on you and your life, and BAM you delivered !☺ Ive been watching plant youtubers since 2018 so of course I enjoy knowing how they are doing and how they evolve you know, so thank you for sharing with us today, I'm glad I trusted my intuition to watch this videos today ♥ And I hope you'll keep sharing personal updates in the future along with plant content !
These are by far my favorite kinds of videos you make! Love the chill chatty vibes. Weve been waiting for this video with your succulents!
The over water and chunky soil tips are always great to hear. If nothing else it reinforces these thoughts for me ❤❤
I love your brain. 🫶🏽 Very relatable thought processes. No sweat about over sharing. We appreciate your genuine stream of consciousness. Those who don't, can fast forward or skip. 🤷🏽♀️ Thank you so much for sharing.
I appreciate that. Thanks for watching!
I love your "oversharing" about thinking about having another baby. Because it's such a personal thing we don't often hear people's thought processes and I often wonder if I'm alone in my doubts or dreams or what have you. I so relate to not wanting to sacrafice your body for pregnancy and everything after. I waited till have my first son was 3 to get pregnant with a second because it was so hard on me and I needed lots of time to recover and rejuvenate.
One more thing then I'll shut up 😂 my mom had two more babies after a divorce and remarriage 9 years after she'd had her last baby. They have changed all our lives for the better and my mom has no regrets. Pregnancy gets harder the older you get, but if you have previously had babies in your 20s, miscarriages and health issues do not go up. You've got time ❤
We are here for the oversharing! This video and your stream of consciousness made my day :)
sending lots of love your way harli, your presence in the plant community is so so appreciated ❤
So nice of you thank you
Hi Harli -- as someone with four sisters and has issues with their partner's sister, I'm right there with you regarding the difficulties of not being on speaking terms with a sibling and how much it negatively impacts your life. I know it's not easy to talk about, especially on the Internet, but your followers are here to listen. ❤
Exercise has always been the thing that heals my brain. It’s hard when you’ve played competitive sports for a long time and then *boom* you’re a mom and the most exercise you get is lifting kids for a few years, running or jogging if you’re lucky enough to be that capable. I’m so happy to hear that running gives you what you need mentally also.
Harli, I've been watching your videos for many years, from before you first got pregnant, and whilst I still like plants, the main reason you are such a great TH-camr is your kind, authentic, oversharing, self-deprecating, reflected and absolutely hilarious (harlirious? hehe) personality ❤ sharing in your struggles (losing loved ones, just generally coping with life) and rejoicing in your successes (opening up a plant shop, combating post-partum depression, getting chickens!!) brings me so much happiness on a weekly basis. I hope you know what a positive influence you have on your viewers, no matter how difficult or elaborate the times or topics may be. Sending you a hug from Europe!
And in order to actually contribute something to the discussion: I used to only buy black or anthracite coverpots because I was struggling with visual overstimulation in my home, esp. once the pandi hit. I still think most plants look good in them but since then, I've grown much fonder of special pots. A marbled glaze sends me onto cloud #9. A weird shape? Y-A-S. matching them with my plants is more of a feeling. Love how you can articulate the reasons behind your pot choices. I would looove to see a hanging Hoya like a Mathilde in that white shroom planter!
That first sanseveria is stunning in that pot. It’s just beautiful.
I love the over sharing, I’m here for it! My husband and I thought we were done after two… and then we both started feeling and thinking we wanted another. We waited a bit, then stopped trying not to have a baby and boom 💥 I was pregnant quicker than ever 😂 you’ll NEVER regret having another. And as long as you continue to run up until you’re pregnant you CAN run that much during pregnancy.
Oh Harley ❤ I went no contact with a sibling two years ago. It's heart reaching and so hard but then there are moments when I remember why it happened and how I am happier and better right now. Sending you all the love. It doesn't go away, it just gets different and you're doing a such great job with taking care of yourself ❤❤❤
Lost my 12 year old Lily the lab a very few months ago…still trying to process the loss. When you are so real in dealing with emotions I feel more normal…❤
Adding to the kind comments- I’m just recently graduated and my husband just got his first full time job. I’m struggling to find a job and am part time and I miss having the time I did with him. It’s super comforting to know that you- someone I see as a bit older and wiser than me, struggles with this same thing. I think I worried people cared less as they were older because “that’s life,” but I love him and our family so much I don’t want that longing to ever go away.
Thanks for your authenticity !!
Sending love to you and your family Harli ❤ 2024 has been rough, and I think most of your followers enjoy these repotting and chat videos because we can see just another human being going through life, just like us! I hope the pain eases soon ❤
I'm sorry you're dealing with family issues. After my mother unexpectedly died 4 months after my grandmother (a legit southern matriarch) passed, my brother and I reacted very differently and I had to take space from him for over a year for my own health. We are good now, talking, and hanging out and such. . . You're doing the right thing. You focus on You and your wellbeing. Do what you need to. It's hard, I know. Hopefully it isn't forever. But even if it is, better a "forever" as a happy mom and daughter and wife and fulfilled joyful self than not. ❤.. also! Dont ever apologize for sharing your struggles or how you feel. Im pretty sure i speak for 95% of your followers when i say "yes, i do care to hear about your feelings and struggles and accomplishments if thats what you want to share!"
i love using busy pots for simple plants, i have my hoya gracilis (memoria) in a patterned blue bowl from aldi that broke so i repaired it and painted over the cracks with gold paint. i also think hoyas like living in random dishes rather than nursery pots. they are to houseplants as cats are to dogs 😂
I say go for it. I have 3 and would have regretted not having the third. If you’re going to do it now’s the time. Then you can rehab your body for good. The longer you wait the more independent your littles become and it may be harder to go back to diapers and dependence. Of course just my opinion and the way I felt. Whatever you decide, enjoy your decision. 💖
So sorry about your sister. Hope things get better❤
Potting choices - I don't think I have something you don't know, I love second-hand finds, I agree about interesting/basic planters etc.
I will just say something that seems obvious in hindsight, so I want to make sure nobody repeats my mistake: I had placed a succulent in a vintage kettle. I put it in the sun, because it's a succulent. The metal kettle heated up and prwtty much cooked the poor thing. So.. avoid metal - beteen heat catching and rusting - avoid metal
It's helpful, in case there are new plant parents who found your channel so don't worry about if we already know. My 2 cents.
The🌿and pot comb.look beautiful,✨ another baby does sound great ! You r still young so your body can recover and get back into shape 👌...
Sisterhood is special I can understand you,maybe time can change things...
💚🌵🍀🌿
Yep good choice with the low pot. Very cute.
I understand that exercise feeling too. And I had my youngest child at 38 and I cannot imagine my life without any of my 4 kids.
My older sister is estranged from our family (her choice) and it is a strange thing. So so hard at first, then as time goes on sadly it becomes "normal". For us it has been 16 years and it is hard to imagine it ever changing. I feel for you with your sister, and I'm sure many others here can relate as well ❤
I’ve also had periods of estrangement from my sister, and it’s really hard. Sending you positive vibes! ❤
Succulents are definitely NOT boring. They are BEAUTIFUL. Especially the Echeverias. They come in so many different colors. And I love propagating them and how easy they are to grow from cuttings. And I also love experimenting with them. Seeing what will grow from leaf babies. And so much more. Succulents are better than tropical plants IMO. Tropical plants are so boring to me. #SorryNotSorry 😅
But seriously succulents are AMAZING plants. They are pretty much the only plants I enjoy and have in my collection. I have over 300 succulents. Including aeoniums, aloes, agaves and cacti. But most in my collection is Echeveria. #Obsessed ❤😂
Can't wait to find some interesting types of sansevieria ! Been looking, but they're quite expensive, since they're slow growers I understand why ❤ love all your plants and planters
I'm 35 and just had my first baby and going to try for my second and last baby in about a year since I'm getting closer to 40 (which is actually fine, my doctor says I'm overall healthy).
I’m not on speaking terms with my mom since this june..it takes up a lot of brain space for me as well and I’m coping with it best I can. I’m with you on learning to set boundaries !
Have the baby!!!! I’m 36 my daughter is 16 and my son is 13 and I regret not having another one. Also congrats to Ryan on the principal job!!! Sorry about you and your sister. I don’t speak to one of my brothers and you are right you can pick and choose who you let into your life. It doesn’t get easier. Love the plants I seriously don’t own a sansivera. I love the 3 part fertilizer. But this would be so nice to just water than mixing all day😂🤣
I wish we all got the summers off. One of the perks of being a teacher. I can see how going from having never not having him around during the summer would be tough but I'm sure it'll become easier. :)
That popping! Regular clover seed pods do this too! I have one hitching a ride in my SOP and I look forward to this exact feeling. I now have them in all of the adjacent pots! 😊 thanks for another banger
I lost my dad back in June. And this summer has been so hard. His death has taught me to set boundaries with people and I’ve learned to speak up for myself. I used to be such a people pleaser but now it’s time to take care of myself. It’s freeing to know you have full control over your life and what goes on in it. You made your decision for a reason. Things will all work out. Keep taking care of yourself ❤️
Hope things work out with you & fam. Thanks for sharing Harli!
I was not expecting you to say that part about your sister... I have been watching you since 2019. I can relate so much with what your said. I also do not talk to my sister any more. It's been over a year. It was a decision I had to make for myself, my mental health, and for my life. Going through the process of that loss and grief takes time.
Hi honey, good for you for deciding what is best for YOU and your mental health. I think our society is ok with us cutting off contact from toxic people, but they are incredibly judgmental if those people happen to be family. I have had zero contact with certain family members for years due to abuse, and it has been the best thing for my immediate family. Stand up for yourself and do only what makes you feel better. Sending hugs as I know it is such a complex and earth shattering decision 🤍
I Just finished really disheartening plant chores - restarting 6 of my anthuriums.. 😩 but it was way easier when I saw that you posted another video! ❤😉 As for the "Oversharing" conundrum: I really enjoy and appreciate your open attitude 🥰, though I don't blame anyone who doesn't share personal information. If I may give you an advice on the 3th Baby issue: As someone who hast struggled with mental problems quite some time, I noticed that I've Always felt some void in my life. As in "if only I could find/get that ONE thing, my life would be perfekt and I would be completely fulfilled. But when I got it, the rush lasted shorter and shorter and the hard reality Struck Harder and harder. For me that was finding the perfekt Partner, now it often is getting the next exciting plant 😉 but i also now know that the void inside cannot be filled with Something external. And it doesn't even have to be filled. As soon as you make Terms with the fact that you are never going to be complete (else you couldn't be growing inside) you don't experience the void as a problem anymore but as a chance of life to surprise you. Or at least I hope. 😉 So instead of acquiring new stuff, new skills, new hobbies or distracting myself in any other way from that hollow Feeling, I more and more dive into it, allow it to be there, without getting torn away. That helps me to be more grounded. 🌳 Please excuse my bad Englisch by the way.. 😅 have of the mistakes are one me, but the other half is on Auto correct which is permanently trying to Help me.. 😂 Lots of Love from a plant friend in Germany ❤
When I choose a planter ( Ive been moving all my plants to Leca so I don’t have to worry about watering so much for travel ) so I like to choose interesting glass usually to put them in or hoard all the salsa and jam jars , but otherwise I go for whatever looks most durable because I’m so clumsy!!
Choosing boundaries is hard. I'm a people pleaser and want everyone to be happy and like me. I have become a hermit and feel bad that I don't like going anywhere. I just realized I need to make a therapy appointment talking about this thank you. I hope you figure everything out. My youngest son I didn't even know about. I found out I was 5 months pregnant at an annual ob appointment having a boy. I was 39 and was not expecting it. I ended up having an emergency c-section and pre eclampsia. I was so happy in the end but it was the hardest pregnancy I had.
I died when you said "is this too much to be sharing on the Internet? 🤔" 🤣🤣 You are just so real and it always makes me laugh!
Great job Harli, those sanseveria are looking so great and you are so good at doing these repots and all of your plant routines. Have a great weekend coming up, sending love and hugs, bye!! 😂🥰💖💜💜💜💜
Hey sweet Holly! Thank you so much! I wore that bracelet you gave me when we met the other day & it made me think of you (: Hope you're doing well!
We loveeee you Harliii
I had to set really hard boundaries with my family and in some cases went months / year without speaking and some of them I still don’t speak to, but others our relationship improved after setting hard boundaries, it was a learning curve for them too because I was no longer tolerating certain behavior
I’m a white pot girl. I like to let the plant shine.
Harli your videos are always full of entertaining and enthusiasm for plant lovers. I'm sorry to hear that you have and your sister aren't in speaking terms, but I have prayed for you guys to find a way to reconcile because wit God, all things are possible. Keep bringing your informative and fun videos. I will watch anything you put out there for content on your videos. 😊
i never really relate when you talk about your chunky mix and overwatering (if anything i'm a chronic underwaterer) but it all clicked for me in this vid when you said lots of your plants are succulents! i don't even keep succulents anymore because i aaaalways kill them with overwatering hahaha
Hey Harli--good for you for realizing the need to set healthy boundaries. It's hard and it sucks, but necessary. My sister and I have been estranged for many years. I wish things were different, but my life is better for it. Thank you for sharing. And you have the COOLEST planters! 😊
I use Osmocote 100% as my fertilizer for all varieties of my plants, and I love it! It's like the crockpot of fertilizers- you set it and forget it, and don't have to even think about fertilizer again for 4-6 months.
Our pups love farmers dog!
I love your style and you give me so many ideas how to use other vessels for planting in other the conventional plant pots! ❤
I loved everything about this-you're so beautiful inside and out, and you add tremendous value to YT. Take it a day at a time, and go with your gut... our first instinct is usually the right decision..Be kind to yourself, and enjoy the process
Love hearing you talk about your life ❤
Beginner here 🙋🏻♀️ thanks for beginners tips!
😃Thank you Harli🪴!
I love your plant and pot pairings in this video, and I will try out your opposites tip next time I need to repot. They're my fav. The short/tall combo is so good. Thanks!
That's all you have to say. I hear you❤
I agree if the plant is tall and slim I put it in a wide pot, it looks more balanced in my mind. Sometimes though with a colourful foliage plant I will pick a pot with one of the colours to pair it with 🤷♀️😀🇨🇦
That's awesome that you run and it makes you feel good. I'm glad you share what you want to. I had that feeling, that there was someone was missing, then my daughter came along.I was almost 33 when she was born, the time really flies. I love your plant pot pairing talks😂 Thank you for the plant food tips.
Thanks for sharing your life with us. I feel like you are a big sister to me so it feels special when you talk about your personal life here. Don't get me wrong, you don't need to but I feel like I am having a catch up with you whenever you post. 💚
I am in a pot renaissance right now and when I buy a planter for my plants, I take a picture of it so when I go to the shops, I can visualize the plant to the pot.
I went no contact with my sister for 3 years. It was difficult because of the backlash from family members, but it was such a healing experience for me. On a lighter note, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE if you could do a video on how you make your soil mix!!! ❤️
Hi , I no longer talk to my siblings and haven't done for a year now best decision I ever made for me .Just know you are not alone. 😊😊
please do a tour of all of your succulents..
Don’t feel like you have to share anything about your sister! That really sucks I hope you start to feel better soon. Always enjoy your content!
Always thumbs up. Its always nice to have reminders.
Oh Harli, I'm telling you, we have so much in common! I too just went no contact with my sister about a month ago and to be honest, I haven't been happier or more in peace than I am now. I feel like what you said is spot on regarding boundaries. I don't know what your issues are but I was sad/annoyed as the sister with children when I watched your camping trip on your mom's channel. A comment was made that made me feel so triggered because I too have 2 boys. Sending you a big ol' hug from California!
Can’t wait to see them grow.
I am definitely here for the oversharing 💕 I have 2 kids and I knew from before conceiving the second one that that was going to be it for me 🤭 so if you have doubts it's definitely worth exploring it and seeing how you both feeling with the idea of more kiddos, for your body yeah you won't be able to do as much but it doesn't mean you have to give up running completely and if you keep working out during the pregnancy it just means you will heal faster and get back to it in no time 💁🏻♀that said I found that the second pregnancy was harder and the first I was 5 years older (37 😬)... so it's also something to consider... but you are a lot younger! I don't know hahaha I'm not being helpful hahaha sorry!
31:48 girl, don’t ever be sorry for sharing yourself and what you want.
I’m sort of in the same boat. I’m 32, oldest of 6 with 5 nieces/nephews. In my adult life and relationships, I’ve felt I never wanted children because at one point, I was a kid raising kids. Not only that, but my health problems are a huge factor to consider. But we just had the 5th baby in the family and even though I didn’t feel this with any of the other kiddos, I cried like a baby holding him for the first time. It made me realize I don’t have that much longer especially with health problems.
I have been thrifting for a while, on pots. Now I am switching to white pots, even if they have blue in them or green, etc. The shapes are what I cannot find. My favorite of yours has to be the aloe Vera plant and pot. I must have that, lol.
When you showed your prop pot, I lost it! 😂 Glad in not the only one with a pot of rando leaves. 😂😅
I’ve taken off with walking 3000 steps a day. So far so good. It’s start for me.
😂great tip on plant neutrion. I've been looking for help. Thank you.
I would love some running content! I got back into running a couple months ago and am thinking about doing my first half marathon next spring!
I learned something from your videos all of the time. ❤❤❤
I’m going to be the odd man out and say that we went back and forth on having a third baby, but ended up sticking with just 2. I don’t regret it at all, ever. Especially with teenagers with mental health struggles, 2 is enough! I think with your PPD struggles and how happy you seem right now, you should start looking into fostering or adopting. Keep your mental and physical health that you’ve worked so hard to improve. Just a stranger on the internet sharing my 2 cents. 😂
My daughter and her husband decided they wanted one more just one more well they got twins! And it was quite a shock so now they have four of their own but her husband had one previously with an X
oh my goodness what a surprise that would be haha
I just love listening to your videos! I like knowing about your life! We all go through things so it can be therapeutic to hear! I hope you find peace with your sister. I also just purchased my second bag of liquidirt! My first is almost gone and I used it because of your recommendation and LOVE! Thanks for your tips! I might have to try those granules 😊
Also have to say my first bag lasted 3 years too! Totally worth it!!
I really like to match one type of pot to one surface, i.e.: my dresser only has plain terracotta pots with all sorts of plants. I think it focuses the attention on the plants while the array of pots are all matching. it’s like talking to someone who’s wearing a nice outfit, you’re looking in their eyes, but you just know they’re well-dressed and it adds appeal to the conversation.
Harli these videos are the best
I use clear pots and then put them in cover pots. I tend to pick either white, taupe brown and at times black pots but textured/patterned so they aren’t so boring. I get a lot of my cover pots from IKEA because I can never find anything while thrifting….sometimes estate sales but not usually and if I do they are terracotta pots. My sister and I took a trip to the Texas border before all the craziness started and we purchased Mexican Talavera pottery. I use those outside because i absolutely love bougainvilleas and I have 5 or 6 different colored ones. They look beautiful in those pots.
So sorry to hear about your sister but there is no perfect family out there. To me, it seems like my sister enjoys putting me down because I have gained weight. I started taking my weight more seriously and I’ve been on the weight loss journey for about 6 months and doing well. It kinda helps I had my gallbladder removed and I can’t eat what I used to so that makes it easier. As much as it hurts, I don’t lash back at her but I don’t go out of my way to spend time with her either. I don’t enjoy her airing my problems with people which she feels compelled to do so I prefer just keeping myself busy with my plants, husband, life, etc. on weekends. I love being at home after a long workweek of driving around town making sales calls. Anyway, chin up…boundaries are good. You’re doing the right thing and the time away from each other will let in a new perspective.
Would love to see an Ikea cabinet update. I recently made my own using your tutorial and would love to hear anymore tips/thoughts you have after it's been established for a long time.
Love it, let's go)
oh my god, I have the same problem with the dried up roots because the prop glass went empty unfortunately my plants are alocasia and maranta, so I think I just have to start over and hope for the best 😅
for pairing plants & pots I don´t think I do anything special. I like to hold the planter up to the plant or place the plant in the pot to see how they look. I then also take the other pots around it into consideration, so I don´t end up with all crazy colors on one side and only white on the other. And if I have a pair I like, I make it work. like planting in a nursery pot and then placing it in the nice pot if it´s too big, or drilling drainage holes. I have a planter where I want to plug up the hole for a water reservoir situation, but haven´t done that jet.
I have like 50% of my succulents in terracotta pots (also a few grey ones) and also love when they have patina.
🎉Amen…. Heal, and
Keep
Exercising!❤
I would love that video. Please do it. I really need help with paring plant & pots. Thanks
It's so hard not talking to your own siblings that you used to be so close with. I had to stop talking to my oldest brother for about 7 years but I saw major changes in him that I regret not getting back into contact with him sooner before he passed. I'm not saying "but she's family" just that if the relationship when it was good was something you cherished, watch for the changes if you think things CAN change and reevaluate in the future. Nothing has to stay the same if you don't want it to
As a mom of 6 I’ll say you need to do how you feel full-filled. But it’s a decision for you and hubby to make together. 🤗 We would love to be with you through another pregnancy ❤
I understand not being able to talk about things because there are things I still can't talk about after 10 years. You feel like you have to relive it to tell about it.
