I wish there were more indoor container garden videos. Plants look great when they're planted together
YES!!!! And PS I adore your user name. GAWD such a luxury!!!
The channel 'legends of monstera' has a few videos called the "collector-seller series" and those ppl did tons of group plantings! They're a little older and I think group plantings used to be very common in the 70s so it makes sense
Yes! I mix plants in containers all the freakin time!! Love the look of the different textures and shapes together!
@@pottymouthedplanter associating plants can be so interesting, some messy with more structured ones can reveal their beauty
Im not quite sure why youtubers stress so much about background noise. Unless someone is using a leaf blower or jackhammering or there's a 5 alarm fire next door, I never really pay any mind to the background noises. That being said, Im excited about the move for you, Nick, and I hope it's quieter for your own peace of mind.
Great idea to consolidate, even if you’re NOT moving! Makes every pot more lush and beautiful, cuts way down on the watering chore, and makes more room for new plants! Win, win, win! 💖💖💖
May I suggest to build a skinny line table at the height of the new window sill & width in the new apartment to aid your to fit your plants. So that plants will still have space & light to grow.
That's what I did just to extend the one I had I actually went and got my very skinny older fish tank stand because there is an electric heater underneath this window which I cover with massive jars of water and have the heat pushed away from going straight up. Where were moving there's no anything it's just off grid. I'm going to have to consolidate mine just to make it. I'm so afraid they're going to freeze in the winter! I am literally going to build a greenhouse in my attic! Until we get things in order proper with all the off grid everything that's all there is up there. I'm not complaining I love the idea I just have my houseplants to worry about. In five years everything will be under control and beautiful. But in the meantime they have to have a consistent environment so I think that attic is going to become a greenhouse with its own little solar heater and of course all use an LED light
I love stuff like this. Even if you’re not moving, consolidating and combining plants in a pot is a great space saver and very aesthetically pleasing if you do it right! 💗🪴☀️ loved watching!
I’ve never been good at that, and it’s a skill I wish I had. Just like those amazing florists that can do such awesome stuff...mine always looks like a 3 year old made a bouquet from trampled stems in a ditch 😭
@@nolaray1062 oh I know!! ☺️
The amount of dirt being flung around in this video makes me feel seen.
Lol yes! I feel that, i make a M E S S
How many people like 👍 the video before they start watching because he's my fave and I already knew I'd appreciate it? Wish I could like multiple times!
“I’m a pot spanker”
hahaha me too Nick, me too 🤣
Quote of the video
The commentary while potting the cebu blue sounded like a guided meditation. That would be a fun niche to get into, guided potting meditation
Guided meditation is the greatest thing, it puts me to sleep in just a few minutes😂
"My friends are expecting pots from me." Boy I knit...and all my friends now expect from me is socks, mittens, shawls, scarves and stuffed animals. Wanna trade? Nothing like a warm pair of snuggly hand knit socks.
I would love some mittens and shawls.
I'm so happy I'm not the only one who uses a spoon as a mini shovel
Yes, and my "potting bench" is my washer! What can I say? The light is great in my laundry room & the utility sink is right next to the washer. Logistics.
“Pot Spanker” & “Spoon Gardener” = Merch Ideas 😆
Love this video, so chill, no annoying music with ukuleles, and just plants, don't worry about it being rough.
I'm getting overwhelmed just watching. Goodluck and power on Nick.
I have no idea how you are going to consolidate your whole collection in just a few days. Best of luck to you Nick and I look forward to seeing your new place full of plants.
Do you have a vid on how you make the pottery? I would love to see that.
I think you have great instincts. Your combining plants will end up with great lush results once they all recover from the transplant and then adjust to their new home. Bravo.
The Cebu Blu is on my wish list.
If you want to order try bros with hoes! That’s where I ordered mine from. Decent size for $20
If you’re close to me I will give you a rooted cutting!!! I’m in North Bay, Ontario. Cebu Blue is one of my favourite plants.
Having to move with such a big mess and so many plants, it's hell on earth to me ! I did it so many times, I am fed up with it now ! I wish you some courage and patience and a lot of friends to help !
I have a small apartment in nyc and the “BAOYOUNI 7-Layer Indoor Plant Stands Spring Tension Pole Metal Flower Display Rack Space Saver Corner Floral Pot Hanger Shelf” on Amazon has been a dream! I put all my pothos/ Philodendrons on there and they look beautiful without taking up valuable space.
Haha Wow that’s quite a name! I just looked it up & I think it’ll solve a specific problem area I’ve been struggling with. Thanks for the recommendation! 👍🏻
@Just Sav , you are a champ! Thanks for this!
😂 a pot-spanker! Such a good word for it I’m going to use that from now on
Love watching you repot, combining is such a great idea.
Thank you I've been very much a plant snob about keeping my species separate which I was not before! But I watched a plant show that said I should because whatever the reason was and I believed them. But I am moving such a long-distance up to an off-grid Farmhouse that is going to be very difficult to keep my plants at a consistent temperature because it is off grid! So much light so beautiful but if I don't have some sort of enclosure that has its own environment meaning its own solar panel and its own temperature control. Because until we get situated we're 100% wood stove heat and I do not want my plants freezing when somebody sleeps too long in the fire goes out. I lost a hoya that was show-quality it was huge and it bloomed hundreds of blooms constantly it never stopped! Once it stopped for about a week and then it went right back to Bloomin 24/7 always. I moved into a house with slumlords no heat except for there was a hole in the wall for a fireplace meanwhile it got so cold that my Hoya actually froze to death and I am devastated still to this day I kept its roots and the shape of the stem because it looked art nouveau Oh, I thought I'll make it into something one day it was huge I worship to this thing it was my baby I bought it for $0.05 when I was 4 years old a leaf in a cup at my soon-to-be school carnival. One day when I had somebody there helping me clean they threw it in the garbage and I will never forget it it got taken before I knew. They didn't understand. These plans I have only one is super sentimental the rest I just adore. These couple months of Summer they'll be fine it's a hundred degrees but then after four weeks of fall it starts dropping down into the low twenties Fahrenheit during the day and then single-digit at night or at least low low teens period by October it is lower than 0 at night. It's going to take about five years to get the house regular. LOL regular haha anyway as best as it can be for an off grid house in the middle of nowhere. Eventually I will have a wood heated Greenhouse or Atrium connected to my house. But all of this stuff takes time it's just two people learning new skills. Luckily the other person nose electrical and can harness our batteries and solar power into something usable. I'm having just the worst day of anxiety. So I probably am just babbling thank you so much for this video you're making me feel like I can do all this and get it done and be okay the problem is... I cannot work outside because I have somebody who's quite violent above me dropping things on me and I need to do the same thing with my outdoor plants and some of those belong to my mother who passed away not all that long ago. I am so devastated by my parent's death that I haven't been able to cry because of the harassment I've been through here, hence the moving up into the middle of nowhere where there's literally bears and cougars within two miles I have two Neighbors on my 40-minute driveway that is rough and rugged spiraling up a mountain. Then it is 4 hours to town but I have 20 acres to make beautiful gardens and food outside once I know how to fence them in properly to deal with the deer and everything else I'll have things digging underneath but luckily some of it will be kind of wild crop I will go to the land across the street from the 20 acres and so it with things like oats an edible grasses for the deer to eat over there so that they've got things to do other than raid my garden. I'm going to try it the nice way because I'm not killing anything we're vegan for 56 years plus one of us is older. I wish you such good luck with your move I think you probably already have by now I didn't even look at the date of the video. The phone was listening so it picked this for me period that is always so creepy.👣🐾💜🐸🌱🥦
This was such a fun video to watch. Felt like we were FaceTiming!! I love to watch repotting and such. Good luck on your move, can’t wait to see your new place!
Good luck with your move. You should actually make this type of video an annual event. Always a good idea to consolidate.
I can't believe how soft his soil is
“Changing spaces” can be so much fun! Feel free to send the ones you don’t HAVE TO take, my way! Especially ANY trailing plants. 😉 I’m a Newbie.
Enjoyed this video, as always! It’s a joy to see your plants and listen to your advise and comments. I’m very happy for you! 👌🪴🥰
Dude I've watched several of your videos and this is the first one where I feel like I really get to know your personality a bit.
You're a likeable dude. Good and a little sassy personality.
Please PLEASE do more videos where you move around a little and talk with a little less scripting/pre planning. I can't stress enough how this one video made me more interested in your channel.
Looking forward to updates on all these plants Nick once you are settled.
The neon pothos and cebu is such a vibe. I put mine next to each other while watching this video bc it’s a power combo!
I love this consolidating video! Please make another one if you plan to do more combining 🥰💚
Great idea about bunch potting, I’m going to do this
Ive move with my plants before and firstly, my plants have move to my apartment on a table next to a window with most sunlight. Then I begin moving furniture to my new place. Its stressful, but I had friends help me with just my furniture's only.
Best wishes for a smooth move and safe travels for all your plants! Looking forward to seeing your new place.
I hope we get cebu blues here soon. Have never seen one in person before but love the look and hope to have one someday.
Ahhh I love videos like this! So satisfying seeing you combining plants.
I've loved underplanting this year! It's saved me so much space and I don't feel like I have to adopt out plants just because I'm bored of them for a bit.
Looking forward to seeing them in a new home.🙋♀️ plant stalking
This is the most soothing 30 minutes on TH-cam right now.
Great job so far on consolidating. You've made good choices. Really looking forward to seeing you settle into your new place. New beginnings XXXX
I moved 2 floors up in the same apartments building last month, and stressed out for 2 weeks wondering if my 35-40 plants would be ok. Can't imagine having to move 400... I would need a full 10 wheeler truck of Xanax.
Hugs to you, using a kitchen spoon. We have all done that too!
Hi Nick! This was another fun video. I love the way you consolidated some of your plants. I'm hoping that you have another video doing this, or will show us the other ones you consolidated. I'd like to see more to get more ideas for consolidating some of my plants. I like the look of more than one type of plant in a pot, but haven't figured out which ones I want to consolidate. I'm anxious to see more of your moving videos and then a tour of your new place. I hope you took us along on deciding how you decorated. Thank you so much for sharing!
I'd love to know how you water everything. I have almost 100 plants and it takes me forever!
That Cebu pot is going to be EVERYTHING one day!😍🤤❤
I love your hanging basket it's very pretty🤟🤟🥰😍🤩 you really have some great plants there's nothing wrong with reusing what the plant already had when you're repotting I do it all the time and it comes out great
I loved watching this. It was soo cool to see what the root looked like.
I'm so excited for you and can't wait to see the finished product
Thanks for sharing and your not alone I also use spoons and nursery pots to plant with ❤❤❤🌻🌻
That cebu blue is to die for, so goregeous 😍 Unfortunately here one leaf cutting goes for $30 :(
Fun, fun, fun! So satisfying to watch you consolidating. I think I should do this nearer my move too.
Smack the bottom of the pot to loosen roots. Works for me.
I like to combine a couple of different plants in one pot. Also like to add rocks & small knick knacks like animals & elves. Really cute. Easy to find in thrift stores.
Wow!👏🏿 Great video, Nick! This is exciting!🌱
Love this laidback and flow of consciousness style!
A quick plant question - ever heard of anyone saying they're seeking a plant "in the wild" but they are actually referring to finding it at a nursery? I was told it's commonly used in the hobby but I never heard of it before.
I didn’t know it was a thing, but I started calling plants I found in person, “wild caught” haha especially when I have to self ID b/c it wasn’t pre labeled.
I got nothin' 🙃
love it! So many people don't seem to like multiple houseplants potted together, but I love it! thanks for the inspo
Loved this content!!! All of us run out of space with our collections... I’m going to give it a try with some of mine!
Thanks for the consolidating ideas!!
Really enjoyed this video. Love combining plants 🌱
I have always thought Raven ZZ & Moonlight Sansevieria. 🖤🤍. Ying and yang.
Rewatching this and actually wanting to cry at your Cebu Blue, after a year of wanting one of these plants and seeing how fast they grow I bit the bullet. For a single leaf cutting with 2 roots was £10… a small plant in the U.K. is so hard to come by and is upward of £80 at the moment! Even with plant prices decreasing 😭😭😭
I always pack my plants last when I move. I want them to experience the least amount of time out of their normal environment because I grow them under LEDs so theyre used to pretty stable conditions. In the orchid community, we call it "compotting" (community potting) when you put multiple plants in one pot.
Oh boy , you got your work cut out for you . Can’t wait to see your new place !
Greetings from New York!
I'm moving as well! This came at a perfect time!
I repot just like you 🤣🤣 the messiness on the floor and the spoon haha
I love your enthusiasm! If it’s not too late, can you show us your place once it’s empty?
Video idea. Plata that make great house plants that are commonly sold in the outdoor garden area.
I thoroughly enjoyed this! Makes me feel motivated to also consolidate my plants, like I've been meaning to (so can free up some space and make more available pots, haha).
I love this idea! I have a couple combined planters inside that look amazing. But I hardly ever see people doing this & I don’t understand why. They look so good as arrangements & save on space. It’s so much more of a statement IMO
yes yes yes, i needed this video today. i'm planning a huge cross country move, and i'm so terrified of losing some
Stop with the Humble your sooo good! 🥰🌞💕🌿🌈😻😎
I enjoyed seeing how you combine the plants. More of this please 😊
Thank you for taking us along with you during this endeavour. I am learning a lot.
love what you did - thanks for making this video!
My plant collection has doubled to well over 200 plants since my last move so I was really excited to see how you planned on making moving easier. Happy to have some ideas for my next move!
Ok different kinds of plants in one pot is my next ultimate plant goal. Such a jungle vibe!
Love this , feel like we're sitting on the floor with ya!!!🌱💖🌱💖🤗
LOVED this video Nick! Good luck with your move, can’t wait to see your new space and plant arrangements. Will be anxiously awaiting a tour! ♥️
Fantastic video as always nick! Excellent preparation for a move that I have not seen anyone else really tackle before..plant consolidation 🙌💚👌
I would love a planter that you made! 🤩🤩😍😍
I started doing that with like species. I think I’m going to try to mix it up a bit because it does look really nice💚🙃
When Nick was twirling that Gloriosum, I was like “yasssss bit**”
Your like the “Bob Ross” of plants
I like to use butter knife for repotting, but spoon is more sophisticated for sure:)))))
Wow that's the 1st time I've seen you get your hands dirty lol. I use spoons at times but my hands do so much better. Your plants are awesome and i will be doing this as well cause i hope to find a new apt and move thus warm season. I plan on getting a storage area to put my stuff away i don't need readily. Spring cleaning my kitchen this week. Getting rid of old can food and pots that stick. Putting my small appliances i don't use up. 1 room a week or closet. While in evening doing container gardens to make less planters. And getting rid of broken down worn out furniture. I so hate moving
I could watch you work all day💚💚💚!
The way I would buy your pottery so hard like, i'm HERE for it
What a treat Nick!! I'm gonna put this on the 65in T.V.😘
I wondered why you used spoon instead of your hands...then you used your hands. A lot of work and care taken, great job Nick.
I could watch this for hours, so satisfying 😅 hope you filmed more of the consolidating but understand if you didn't because moving is a lot already!
LOVE this video. I am right now making a big move many states away to a smaller apt in a bigger city and am stressing about moving my orchids & house plants. I also do not own a trowel. I ALWAYS use a spoon. lol This video made me feel so much better
I loved this video. 😂 I don't know what it was but I really really loved it. It could have been way longer haha.
Match made in heaven, so cute!!!💖🌱💖🌱it is🤗
I'm loving this video! My plants need some TLC too. I'll do it with you!
Nick "omg this cebu blue and the phil. Lemon lime look sooooo good together, i dont want to separate them"
Also Nick: does not put them into a planter together 🙈😅
"I'm going to be selling some of my pottery soon. Please don't hold me to that."
Everyone: too late...
Oh, and the Clips, I just cut up the wire coat hanger and bend it with pliers.. works for me.. #life hacks
Yay the series has started i’m so excited!!! good luck with everything !!!
so jealous on your multiple Cebu blue plants! Where I live they are very hard to come by! $50+ for a two leaf cutting if your fast enough to snag them. I got lucky and found a two leaf cutting for $15. It now has 4 leaves. I cant wait for it to grow big!
Wow that’s crazy! I had no idea they were so expensive. What area are you in?
@@WoodlandT I live in Alberta Canada. I plant store an hour away from me recently had 5 leaf cuttings for sale in 4 inch pots for $160!
Spoons are my number 1 gardening tool as well 😂
