@@andysplantysnstuff4272omg yes! They’re so cute. I’m contemplating getting the necklace version for my sisters for Christmas. It’s between the lotus one or the reprise necklace with the 3 dangly arrow things. They’re so different so it’s hard to choose 😂
@HarliG You're a planty lady who gifts planty gifts. Definitely Lotus! Lol The arrows are really pretty though too. Tough call! Either way, I'm sure she'll love your choice! ❤️ You're a good sister!
Can we just appreciate that Harli truly does give us her whole self and her real self! It's not just the social media worthy stuff and i absolutely enjoy it! Keep it up girl! We love you ❤
You recently asked what type of videos we like. This is definitely one that I prefer. Plant chores and care tips are exactly what I like. I prefer when there is more a point and focus for the video like this versus just random stuff. This video reminds me of your older content. Hard to say why but it does.
Took a box full of plants to the local swap and came home with ZERO! Been feeling overwhelmed and having been focusing on only keeping the plants that really excite me in hopes of having a more manageable collection to take better care of without stressing myself out. It's hard to be mindful of more than you can handle and that number is different for everyone in each season of life
I just wanted to let you know, that fighting to stay alive sucks, and your passion and love for nature has really supported me in finding a spark to try and indulge in this hobby again... thank you so much for your effort and time in making this content ❤🎉 It's part of what is saving my life.
Harli's channel has done the same for me for the past two years. I've been really ill but starting to be on the up now. I'm sorry your having a rough time 🙏❤️ nature definitely has a captivating calm and peaceful motivation for living 💕
@@holly782 wow, thank you for being so kind. Makes me want to cry. I really feel worthless and helpless. So grateful that it has helped you in your own ways and also that you feel you're gett8g healthier. Such wonderful wonderful gift. I hope that you keep healing .. thank you again for reaching out ... really touches my heart and feels so rare ...♡
@@leebee9819 it definitely does feel rare..... Someone who has definitely been where you are, I promise you it will get better.....but honestly, only when you KEEP fighting. Anything at all, anything you can find to keep going, grab it with both hands and keep pushing on 🙏❤️ sending lots of love ❤️
I used to hate moss pole maintenance as well, I find that it helps to use those little plant watering birds with the terra cotta base to keep them moist, just stick it in the top and fill it with water, it doesn't totally keep it watered, you will still have to hand water, especially with the poles like yours that are open all around, but it helps dramatically. The biggest thing for me though was switching all my moss poles to the kind with a solid plastic back, they dry out MUCH slower, and almost don't stress me out at all anymore.
This vid hit me on the right day since this whole week for me is plant care and rearranging the house for winter care. I ordered a whole new rack systwn for my bedroom window and a grow light for my succulent babies. I got Monkey cactus in the mail today as a late season gift to myself and am super excited about it. Anyone else like this when winter is a impending doom you have to make that one final purchase to get you through winter lol...
For the fertilizer: if your plant is growing you can fertilize, if you are unsure or it slows down, you can simply dilute the fertilizer more or fertilize less often. If your holseplant keeps growing in winter like normal, then keep fertilizing like normal. They don´t experience winter that much inside our house, especially if you use growlights. I have over 10 plants and they are scattered around in groups. I want to be able to see all my plants on a more daily basis, If I had a grow tenet I would probably forget to go there and everything would dry out constantly. But I´m thinking about getting a cabinet, and that could also be a recovery zone if needed, or I just plop it in a big clear plastic bin. I have 1 mosspole right now, wasn´t sure if I like it so I wanted to try it out with just one. Mine has a closed back and I water it every 3-5 days (maybe even a little less in winter) I would say. You could wrap the empty top with cling film and it will dry out slower, I did that in the beginning and then just make sure you water the moss well and don´t let it get bone dry because the moss will get hydrophobic.
My plant set up is the majority of them are in a loft plant room with smaller amounts throughout the other rooms. I have four different ikea greenhouses and a small greenhouse with clear cover. I don't think I could have a grow tent because I like to see my plants everyday and don't care for the grow tent esthetic. I use a 2gal pump sprayer to water,much easier than refilling containers and going back and forth, also better for reaching in tight spaces and less mess
Being flexible is actually really good advice cause I have a habit of sticking to the same routine and then wondering why one of my plants has an issue when I refuse to get out of my routine to take care of it 🤦🏻♀️
Me too Taylor, but I'm branching out since most of my houseplants got root rot. 😢😮 I lost a few, saved a few (prop), and just threw one or two out because it's too much to keep alive (Polkadot plant). I moved some to see if there's a better spot for them. I've only been into plants 🌿☘️ for a year now so I'm still learning 😊 I appreciate Harli for all her tips and sharing her knowledge with us. I'm learning so much...🌵🌼🌱💋
HARLI, TRY A D-SHAPED MOSS POLE! You have to make them, but they hold moisture far better than the normal moss pole. Also, water them with a plastic cup with a small hole. It keeps them watered for longer as it drips water in slowly.
I would add that you should look up specific care for certain plants. Some can't tolerate cold or drafts (African violets, some hoyas and orchids), while some benefit from a cool winter or need a cooldown to flower (some orchids and holiday cacti). I actually moved my dendrobium aggregatum to my uninsulated sunroom that we just run a small space heater in, because I found out they need a cool, dry winter. On the other hand, my episcia is still recovering from me leaving it in there last year.
I don’t drink out of plastic water bottles very often, but at parties I gather some up. Then I put little holes in the lid and stick on top of moss pole. The water slowly drips into moss. I still have to water them every other day, but it’s easier to fill the water bottle up and put it on the moss pole, and let it do its thing.
I moved from a house with lots and lots of windows to a house with not much space and not that many windows. However, the grow lights have been my savior. I wish I had known about them a long time ago, I could have saved so many of my favorite plants, but I had no clue grow lights were affordable and easy to install.
I don't have room for a grow tent, but I have two plant shelves in a corner of my kitchen. I have plants sitting on my window sills, and I have plants sitting on my desk where I work from home. I like to be surrounded by them while i work, and I have plants sitting at the end of my bed and in the floor.
to your question around 19 minutes! I have a designated plant room, mostly because all the other rooms in my house have terrible light. I wish I could spread them all out, but it is nice to be able to go to one spot to 10 to them all!
I watched Sydney Plant Guy and he has lots of BIG moss poles and he just keeps plastic water bottles filled and ready for use. So, I grabbed a few 20 oz water bottles, tapped 3 holes in the caps, filled them up, turned them upside down and the water will drip in. You have to use a really chunky mix in the pot and I also used net pots just to be safe. After the water drips out of the bottle, I drain the pot after 30 minutes or so and check it again in an hour so the plant doesn’t sit in water. Sometimes the moss doesn’t need a ton of water so I might leave it on for 10 oz of it 🤷🏻♀ then I fill the bottles back up and wait til the moss needs them again.
Girl you are the cuuuutest. I love the excitement and little giggles. 😊 I’m definitely a snake plant girl i absolutely love them they’re easy and satisfying as a plant keeper. Same with syngonium and hoya. They make my heart so happy. As for moss poles, definitely try a closed back (d shape) pole. It helps tons to keep moisture in. Think of it like this: you wouldn’t just stick a pile of moss down on a table, stick a plant in and call it good. That would dry out soso fast. Same thing with a moss pole. The uncovered poles are like having moss sitting open on a table with a plant stuck in it. More work than it’s worth. The covered ones retain moisture. For the open poles you already have, you could try covering the backs with plastic wrap. Its also easier to water them if you spray the moss first with water so it’s not so hydrophobic, then take a water bottle and tip it over so the opening is touching the moss and let it seep out. Sorry if that was a big ole ramble 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes a huge mess when reporting 😅🙈🙈 oh and i have a greenhouse in my bedroom along with a bunch scattered everywhere in my bedroom.
I have had green houses my whole life!! So a few years ago I bought a 12 x 20’ steel and Polycarbonate greenhouse. So my 600+ plants live out there. It makes moving plants in spring and fall lass stressful about bringing critters into my home. I love my homemade moss poles. I have tons. I use a sprayer like a 2 gallon to water the poles to keep moist. Add my fertilizer into the sprayer too. Just mix well to the recent clogging!! It works so well!!!
Another shout out for Sydney Plant Guy video for keeping moss poles wet I don't have a grow tent. I have a small room with south and east windows i had most my plants in, love it. My 15 year old has started loving it and took it over 😢 so I'm seeing how pothos and heart leaf philo will do in my lower light bedroom so i still have a place of peace
I live in a small house.. I have SO MANY plants… not as many as you, but probably over 150-200 in a single wide trailer… luckily the light situation is pretty good. I do have a few grow lights here and there. I also have lots of mirrors and I honestly believe that the mirrors help to bounce the light around 😂
You asked about our "planty situations" - I doubt many people have the luxury of a grow tent?? I live in a large flat, every windowsill is full of plants, as well as side tables and freestanding plant stands.. Also recently I converted my empty fish tank into a terrarium 😊
I dont love moss poles either so i really dont have any. I recently got a coco pole instead to see how that does, so its not something that needs to be kept moist since it's not alive like moss. Well see if it still let's the plant grow as much though. Buuuutttt i have these little like drip system things that i would use for a moss pole. You screw in a bottle of water onto it and stake it in to your medium and then adjust this little screw it has which controls the flow of water. So it can flow slowly all the way down to slow drips just every few seconds. Super easy way to keep the moss moist!
You need to water your moss poles, ideally, from the top of the pole. If you have a plastic water bottle slender enough to fit down into the hardware cloth, drill 3-4 holes in the cap, fill the bottle with water, recap, and turn over into the top of your pole. Make sure you have enough space at the top empty to accommodate the bottle. Water as often as necessary or when the pole dries out.
I went to find the grow lights in hopes of receiving one for Christmas. I cant believe they just sent you $500 worth of lights! that's amazing! thanks for all your helpful plant tips this season!
I just love your energy and your animated expressions! You are so much fun to watch!! And just about hour before I started watching this video, I gave about 20 plants to a friends daughter who just got a new big plant stand arrangement plus about 10 or 15 of the white plastics pots I acquired over the last few months! Really helped me weed out some of the genuses I'm no longer interested in growing and gives me space to do some rearranging and plant housekeeping!! Win-win for us And the plants, too!!😀🌿👍🪴👏🪴😅 🌵🙌🌱
I didn't find the video of your mom's plant collection, but I came across another video you did with her and her channel name was on there so I just went to her channel to see her collection. Only 10 minutes in and so far I'm in love with her plants 🌿🌵🌱❤
Woohoo! Great job on getting the grow light all fixed. So happy that it was such an easy fix. Your plants are looking good...and I love your Winter care tips. You're looking awesome. I love that color sweater on you. Ive seen you in lots of different greens and blues tops. And Giiirl..they make your eyes just Pop! Such pretty eyes❤. Always a Magical Time when you post a new video! Hope you have an awesome rest of the night, Harli.❤
Thank you for the fertilizer tip! That was why I came to watch your winter care video. I am still a pretty new plant parent & I have been wondering if I should fertilize in the winter. I have many plants that are still putting out new leaves right now, but I kept hearing mixed info about winter fertilization 😅 Thank you!
I've seen people use those self watering spikes on top of their moss poles. It's the ones that you attach a water bottle to. It slowly drips water into the moss and keeps them watered - so they say....🤷♀️
Totally agree on the grow tent being the biggest game changer! You inspired me to get a big one last year (8x4) and it’s a great investment. It’s so nice to have a backup plan for all of my plants when crispy winter comes around. It also holds me over while my outdoor greenhouse is empty due to weather. Cabinets and terrariums are amazing too but they can only hold so much 😅
I can't thank you enough for introducing me for "liqui-dirt. I have been using it for over two yrs through out the year and my plants are doing very well.
Love your videos! My planty situation is I have a designated room for them mainly but very few spread around the house, we like to go for the more minimal look but still enjoy nature. We also have a 4 month old puppy right now so plants be up high. He is doing really well with his training and is leaving them alone but every so often he gets curious.
Enjoyed this video so much. Actually I enjoy all your videos. I love the idea of doing a downsizing video. I am actually trying to do that right now. If I see a plant that is really struggling and doesn’t bring me joy after too many tries at resurrecting it I am going to get rid of it. Like your mom says be flexible. We can’t save all of them.
Thank you so much for your planty show at the end. I'm here for it and you are my all time fave planty You Tuber! They are all looking gorgeous. I just got my first grow tent and I'm hoping it will turn into a great little rehab area for some of my more challenging plants.
I have a small greenhouse ( 2 x5.5 feet) for props , and a 8 x4 grow tent, but I purged over 600 plants this year including over 200 Hoyas so the grow tent is going to be for seed starting and propagations. I'm now only growing all types of Cacti and Euphorbias Carrion plants and a handful of other Succulents. I only have 100+ atm 😂 For growlights I use around 6 Barrina T8 sets. I'll probably switch to a few Spider Farm or Mars Hydro next year.
I have a 4ftx8ft grow tent for most of my tropicals and propagations. This will be my first winter with it. They've been in there about 6 weeks and seem to be loving life so far. 🤞
I would love to have a grow tent someday! Right now I have plants scattered throughout my house, (some being supplemented with grow lights), and a 4 tiered shelf with grow lights in my bedroom which has the sansevieria cuttings I showed you 😊 I potted the cuttings up and hoping they still keep growing 🤞🏻
Hi Harli. Love your videos. I love sandsavaria too. So easy. I moved one of mine to a east window and after having this plant in a dark corner and now in a window, put out a huge spike of blooms that filled my house with an amazing smell. I now have all my sandsavaria in bright windows. Love to see your kids. Wow they are sure growing fast. I watch your Mom's videos too. I used to watch your sister's video's but she isn't posting anymore. Please tell her that I miss her. Hugs Bette❤❤❤
I'm not a moss pole person at all either, but I've seen people stick an empty plastic cup with holes in the bottom into the top of the pole, and then water into the cup! I'd like to have a grow tent or a cabinet but honestly don't have the room at all right now haha my ROOM is the grow tent atm 😂
My planty situation - I live in a one bedroom apartment with my husband and cat. We have outgrown this place and my plants are all centralized on 2-3 stands in the living room. I do enjoy spreading them out around the place though, but my apartment doesn’t have great lighting. We are hoping to get a house soon (or at least a bigger apartment!)
Girll, there were some parts of this video that was making me laugh. 😂 Very relatable moments, down to the huffing and puffing and pushing furniture with the feet. 😂 I loved doing chores together, even if my chore at the moment was washing dishes. 💗🫧🥄
Try a self watering moss pole! The ones with the PVC tubing and wicking rope. There are tons of DIY versions on TH-cam. Also, love your channel, keep up the great work :)
I was just told liquidirt helps the plant take in nutrients, made for older dirt potted plant if that makes sense. She said fine but use a fertilizer too or switch it up for the plants to be properly fertilized 🤷♀️ I’m on vacay donuts my plant care lady that told me, from the Philippines shes got a plant import company helping vacationers on the side. Seems legit but I’m not sure of course.
Hi Harli!, great as always! I have an unused bathroom (app 8' X10") with a humidifier and small electric heater to keep things at 60%and 75F. My favorite other place is a snake tank that became too small for "Spots". I used plastic wrap to seal the top screen with a grow light from Lowes, and that thing works wonders for smaller starters. I hardly need to water. My tortum and Strawberry Shake will need to move to the bathroom soon. (I am in South East Colorado. Way dry, Cold in winter and Hot in summer.)
Buy the small plastic drinking cups maybe a 12oz or whatever you think will sit on the top, poke a hole through it and just set them on top of all your moss poles. Then, just walk around with a gallon just and put in the cups. It is def way easier than anything else i’ve tried. Does it keep them moist longer? ya, I think so…but way easier than any other way. I got this idea from Hakuna laplanta……he’s amazing!
I think moss poles in Utah are way hard!! I have one of those continuous fertilizer/ poison sprayers that I ONLY put WATER in to spray my one moss pole plant. I would have to soak it daily to keep it damp… also I have has some luck shoving those decorate terracotta self watering globe things in the top to help me when I can’t mess with it every day…
I'm going to try the plastic cup with the small hole in the base, wedged in the top of the moss pole when I need to fill them to the tippy top with moss. the hole is small enough that the water drips in gradually, or so I understand.
Harli your plants always look so good! Could you please tell me what you are using for fertilizer??? I missed what you said it was you used. My plants need help!!!!
Harli, when making your liquidirt base gallon, how many capfuls do you add? Then, how much of the base do you add to each gallon of water you use to water your plants? I’ve been using 1 capful for the base and 8oz per gallon of water to water my plants. I’m wondering if I need to use more.
I put a bottle in my moss pole u keep the lid to the bottle on and drill a hole in the lid put water in the bottle and flip it upside down and put it on top of your pole you also have to drill a hole at the bottom of the water bottle for air flow
I’m here for you I love you’re videos I really love plant hauls at Lowe’s and home depot but to the honest my local one has brought zero plants and I been buying online 😢
I have a south facing room upstairs that is my “plant room” it’s like a grow tent I guess. I will put a humidifier in there in the winter and I just have shelves with lots of grow lights. In the winter I tend to move a lot of down stairs plants up there to get better light and humidity for the winter. I would love to have an actual grow tent. 😊 Also I saw a TH-camr who grows huge plants on moss poles and he used water bottles on the top. Mind you he lives in Australia. 😢 lol
Plastic back moss pole..100%easier..honestly if a plant struggles too much here,i dont bother with it..theres so many plants that do love my conditions..im not going to stress myself trying to keep something that isnt happy..lifes too short for fickle plants 😂.. random videos are great..just do you ❤❤❤
No grow tent and no dedicated plant room here 😩😂 For now I’m strategically placing them through the house. But very slowly because my husband isn’t into plants 😅

Same here. Working on being better, it’s just soooo easy to be like “nah, tomorrow” haha

You have to make them, but they hold moisture far better than the normal moss pole. Also, water them with a plastic cup with a small hole. It keeps them watered for longer as it drips water in slowly.
harli please do a tutorial on this if you end up trying it haha
I really enjoyed this video, it felt like chatting w a friend. 😊
I'm so glad! That’s what I really want my videos to be ❤️

THE STILLS AT THE END ARE SO CUTE!
You are so genuine I love your approach to plant carr❤❤
Si nice of you, thank you ❤
I don't have room for a grow tent, but I have two plant shelves in a corner of my kitchen. I have plants sitting on my window sills, and I have plants sitting on my desk where I work from home. I like to be surrounded by them while i work, and I have plants sitting at the end of my bed and in the floor.
to your question around 19 minutes! I have a designated plant room, mostly because all the other rooms in my house have terrible light. I wish I could spread them all out, but it is nice to be able to go to one spot to 10 to them all!
I love the 'Tuscan Raider pump action' you do when excited. 😄

I'm glad I'm not the only one who makes a huge mess when reporting 😅🙈🙈 oh and i have a greenhouse in my bedroom along with a bunch scattered everywhere in my bedroom.
I love your quirky, silly, honest self! You're the best❤
😊 thank you. You made my day
Thanks for the nice relaxing video 📸 I like those grow lights. Yes, please give us a video of grows light soon🎉❤😊
I have had green houses my whole life!! So a few years ago I bought a 12 x 20’ steel and Polycarbonate greenhouse. So my 600+ plants live out there. It makes moving plants in spring and fall lass stressful about bringing critters into my home. I love my homemade moss poles. I have tons. I use a sprayer like a 2 gallon to water the poles to keep moist. Add my fertilizer into the sprayer too. Just mix well to the recent clogging!! It works so well!!!
Another shout out for Sydney Plant Guy video for keeping moss poles wet
I don't have a grow tent. I have a small room with south and east windows i had most my plants in, love it. My 15 year old has started loving it and took it over 😢 so I'm seeing how pothos and heart leaf philo will do in my lower light bedroom so i still have a place of peace
I’m finally getting back to really caring for my plants almost a year after having my baby and catching up on all your videos!! 😊
Welcome back! Congrats on that first year! 🙏❤️
Moss pole tip...fill a water bottle, put a hole in the lid then place it upside down in the top of the pole. Voila moist moss pole! 🪴💚
Smart! I wonder if it would be fine with a 2 liter lol
The mustard planter is beautiful. Thanks for the video.
I live in a small house.. I have SO MANY plants… not as many as you, but probably over 150-200 in a single wide trailer… luckily the light situation is pretty good. I do have a few grow lights here and there. I also have lots of mirrors and I honestly believe that the mirrors help to bounce the light around 😂
Oh my gosh! That’s sounds amazing & so jungley 🤩
The puppy was such a good puppy, looking over you when you were moving the dresser. ❤
He’s always keeping watch of me ❤ the best boy
My plants are everywhere in my house!!!! I do have a few cabinets for some plants!!!
You asked about our "planty situations" - I doubt many people have the luxury of a grow tent?? I live in a large flat, every windowsill is full of plants, as well as side tables and freestanding plant stands.. Also recently I converted my empty fish tank into a terrarium 😊
I had so much fun watching 😊 favorite plant youtuber 🌿❤️
Your knowledge of plants makes a lot of sense to me.
Yay! Thank you! 🫶
Love your videos! I kinda just have all of my plants spread out through my house but have an ikea cabinet for extra warm and humid conditions
I dont love moss poles either so i really dont have any. I recently got a coco pole instead to see how that does, so its not something that needs to be kept moist since it's not alive like moss. Well see if it still let's the plant grow as much though.
Buuuutttt i have these little like drip system things that i would use for a moss pole. You screw in a bottle of water onto it and stake it in to your medium and then adjust this little screw it has which controls the flow of water. So it can flow slowly all the way down to slow drips just every few seconds. Super easy way to keep the moss moist!
You need to water your moss poles, ideally, from the top of the pole. If you have a plastic water bottle slender enough to fit down into the hardware cloth, drill 3-4 holes in the cap, fill the bottle with water, recap, and turn over into the top of your pole. Make sure you have enough space at the top empty to accommodate the bottle. Water as often as necessary or when the pole dries out.
I went to find the grow lights in hopes of receiving one for Christmas. I cant believe they just sent you $500 worth of lights! that's amazing! thanks for all your helpful plant tips this season!
I just love your energy and your animated expressions! You are so much fun to watch!! And just about hour before I started watching this video, I gave about 20 plants to
a friends daughter who just got a new big plant stand arrangement plus about 10 or 15 of the white plastics pots I acquired over the last few months! Really helped me weed out some of the genuses I'm no longer interested in growing and gives me space to do some rearranging and plant housekeeping!! Win-win for us And the plants, too!!😀🌿👍🪴👏🪴😅 🌵🙌🌱
I loved your video you can invest in smart switch you can manage in mobile not need to switch on and off daily .. you can manage timing on and off etc
I didn't find the video of your mom's plant collection, but I came across another video you did with her and her channel name was on there so I just went to her channel to see her collection. Only 10 minutes in and so far I'm in love with her plants 🌿🌵🌱❤
Oh yay! Her plants are so beautiful! I love how she displays them.
“Just gonna go and mindfully care for this room.” You’re the best harli. 😂😂😂
I have an 8x8 grow tent and I love it! Wish I could fit more than one in my basement.
Woohoo! Great job on getting the grow light all fixed. So happy that it was such an easy fix.
Your plants are looking good...and I love your Winter care tips.
You're looking awesome. I love that color sweater on you. Ive seen you in lots of different greens and blues tops. And Giiirl..they make your eyes just Pop! Such pretty eyes❤.
Always a Magical Time when you post a new video!
Hope you have an awesome rest of the night, Harli.❤
Thank you for the fertilizer tip! That was why I came to watch your winter care video. I am still a pretty new plant parent & I have been wondering if I should fertilize in the winter. I have many plants that are still putting out new leaves right now, but I kept hearing mixed info about winter fertilization 😅 Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching & best of luck on your planty journey :D
Would love to see a houseplant tour of your mom's houseplants
If you check her past videos, there is one! I think it was earlier this year maybe?
Now this was a great video, love seeing collections and how you take care of them.
Your videos make me happy! 😊
Yeah, I have a few plants that are not bringing me joy, please advise about downsizing.
Thanks Harli!
Sure thing! Coming ASAP (:
This was definitely a fun video. Thanks for sharing Harli!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've seen people use those self watering spikes on top of their moss poles. It's the ones that you attach a water bottle to. It slowly drips water into the moss and keeps them watered - so they say....🤷♀️
The Begonia is so cute 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Totally agree on the grow tent being the biggest game changer! You inspired me to get a big one last year (8x4) and it’s a great investment.
It’s so nice to have a backup plan for all of my plants when crispy winter comes around.
It also holds me over while my outdoor greenhouse is empty due to weather.
Cabinets and terrariums are amazing too but they can only hold so much 😅
I can't thank you enough for introducing me for "liqui-dirt. I have been using it for over two yrs through out the year and my plants are doing very well.
Love your videos! My planty situation is I have a designated room for them mainly but very few spread around the house, we like to go for the more minimal look but still enjoy nature. We also have a 4 month old puppy right now so plants be up high. He is doing really well with his training and is leaving them alone but every so often he gets curious.
Enjoyed this video so much. Actually I enjoy all your videos. I love the idea of doing a downsizing video. I am actually trying to do that right now. If I see a plant that is really struggling and doesn’t bring me joy after too many tries at resurrecting it I am going to get rid of it. Like your mom says be flexible. We can’t save all of them.
About your mosspoles: put a cup with a little hole on top to keep it moist all the time 😊
You are freaking gorgeous. Just natural no-makeup needed typa gorgeous. Yes queen
Thank you so much for your planty show at the end. I'm here for it and you are my all time fave planty You Tuber! They are all looking gorgeous. I just got my first grow tent and I'm hoping it will turn into a great little rehab area for some of my more challenging plants.
As a therapist I have to commend you on your awesome body mechanics with moving the dresser !!!
ripping roots is a good thing, it helps promote healthier root growth:)
I have a small greenhouse ( 2 x5.5 feet) for props , and a 8 x4 grow tent, but I purged over 600 plants this year including over 200 Hoyas so the grow tent is going to be for seed starting and propagations. I'm now only growing all types of Cacti and Euphorbias Carrion plants and a handful of other Succulents. I only have 100+ atm 😂
For growlights I use around 6 Barrina T8 sets. I'll probably switch to a few Spider Farm or Mars Hydro next year.
I have a 4ftx8ft grow tent for most of my tropicals and propagations. This will be my first winter with it. They've been in there about 6 weeks and seem to be loving life so far. 🤞
I love the baby blue planter!!
I appreciate what you teach, thank you.
I would love to have a grow tent someday! Right now I have plants scattered throughout my house, (some being supplemented with grow lights), and a 4 tiered shelf with grow lights in my bedroom which has the sansevieria cuttings I showed you 😊 I potted the cuttings up and hoping they still keep growing 🤞🏻
I really enjoyed this!❤
Hi Harli. Love your videos. I love sandsavaria too. So easy. I moved one of mine to a east window and after having this plant in a dark corner and now in a window, put out a huge spike of blooms that filled my house with an amazing smell. I now have all my sandsavaria in bright windows. Love to see your kids. Wow they are sure growing fast. I watch your Mom's videos too. I used to watch your sister's video's but she isn't posting anymore. Please tell her that I miss her. Hugs Bette❤❤❤
Mind sharing where you picked up your sweater? Love the color and style! Also, those 🦵🏽+🍑 when moving that dresser! Yesss Giirrl! 💪🏼🫵🏼🙌🏼
I thrifted it a while ago but the tag says “Rhythm”
& thank you 🙏
@@HarliG Thx, Harli! 🫶🏼
I'm not a moss pole person at all either, but I've seen people stick an empty plastic cup with holes in the bottom into the top of the pole, and then water into the cup!
I'd like to have a grow tent or a cabinet but honestly don't have the room at all right now haha my ROOM is the grow tent atm 😂
My planty situation - I live in a one bedroom apartment with my husband and cat. We have outgrown this place and my plants are all centralized on 2-3 stands in the living room. I do enjoy spreading them out around the place though, but my apartment doesn’t have great lighting. We are hoping to get a house soon (or at least a bigger apartment!)
Ohhh I bet the shelves look so pretty with all the plants 😍
Girll, there were some parts of this video that was making me laugh. 😂 Very relatable moments, down to the huffing and puffing and pushing furniture with the feet. 😂 I loved doing chores together, even if my chore at the moment was washing dishes. 💗🫧🥄
Um so happy to hear that! Dishes are my absolute least favorite house chore 😂
@@HarliG mine, too, haha. The dish soap is so harsh! 😫 Yet I can’t bring myself to wear gloves, haha. 😂
Try a self watering moss pole! The ones with the PVC tubing and wicking rope. There are tons of DIY versions on TH-cam. Also, love your channel, keep up the great work :)
I was just told liquidirt helps the plant take in nutrients, made for older dirt potted plant if that makes sense. She said fine but use a fertilizer too or switch it up for the plants to be properly fertilized 🤷♀️ I’m on vacay donuts my plant care lady that told me, from the Philippines shes got a plant import company helping vacationers on the side. Seems legit but I’m not sure of course.
Hi Harli!, great as always! I have an unused bathroom (app 8' X10") with a humidifier and small electric heater to keep things at 60%and 75F. My favorite other place is a snake tank that became too small for "Spots". I used plastic wrap to seal the top screen with a grow light from Lowes, and that thing works wonders for smaller starters. I hardly need to water. My tortum and Strawberry Shake will need to move to the bathroom soon. (I am in South East Colorado. Way dry, Cold in winter and Hot in summer.)
Great video! You remind me of myself lol.
Buy the small plastic drinking cups maybe a 12oz or whatever you think will sit on the top, poke a hole through it and just set them on top of all your moss poles. Then, just walk around with a gallon just and put in the cups. It is def way easier than anything else i’ve tried. Does it keep them moist longer? ya, I think so…but way easier than any other way. I got this idea from Hakuna laplanta……he’s amazing!
Oh that’s a great idea! I’ll try that. I’m subscribed to Hakuna la planta, I must have missed that video 😮
try moving the lil big girl that you were gonna repot from the corner and into where theres more light like by a window maybe. love this video slay!
I think moss poles in Utah are way hard!! I have one of those continuous fertilizer/ poison sprayers that I ONLY put WATER in to spray my one moss pole plant. I would have to soak it daily to keep it damp… also I have has some luck shoving those decorate terracotta self watering globe things in the top to help me when I can’t mess with it every day…
I'm going to try the plastic cup with the small hole in the base, wedged in the top of the moss pole when I need to fill them to the tippy top with moss. the hole is small enough that the water drips in gradually, or so I understand.
Harli you are so strong moving that dresser jeez 😮
This is such a nice compliment 🙏 I want to be strong
Thank you 🥹
I loved watching this video especially the grow tent! So fun!!! I have a baby baby siltapicana (sp?) and I can’t wait to watch it grow.
Harli your plants always look so good! Could you please tell me what you are using for fertilizer??? I missed what you said it was you used. My plants need help!!!!
Hey! I use liquidirt with every watering & twice a year I add a small amount of osmocote granules to each plant
It was a blast!
Moss pole tip some of them put a plastic cup with holes in the bottom at the top of the moss pole and keep the cup filled with water
Would like to see an update on your mom's plants also like the video you did with her I love all your videos
I’ll ask her to film an updated tour 😁 her setup has changed a lot
Harli, when making your liquidirt base gallon, how many capfuls do you add? Then, how much of the base do you add to each gallon of water you use to water your plants? I’ve been using 1 capful for the base and 8oz per gallon of water to water my plants. I’m wondering if I need to use more.
I put a bottle in my moss pole u keep the lid to the bottle on and drill a hole in the lid put water in the bottle and flip it upside down and put it on top of your pole you also have to drill a hole at the bottom of the water bottle for air flow
I remember your scary story of that girl climbing up your stairs and I wonder...how are you not freaked out to b in basement alone? I would be lmfao!
I am scared a lot of the time but I just act tough for you guys 😂
I like these chatty videos
I’m here for you I love you’re videos I really love plant hauls at Lowe’s and home depot but to the honest my local one has brought zero plants and I been buying online 😢
I have a south facing room upstairs that is my “plant room” it’s like a grow tent I guess. I will put a humidifier in there in the winter and I just have shelves with lots of grow lights. In the winter I tend to move a lot of down stairs plants up there to get better light and humidity for the winter. I would love to have an actual grow tent. 😊
Also I saw a TH-camr who grows huge plants on moss poles and he used water bottles on the top. Mind you he lives in Australia. 😢 lol
Your plant room sounds awesome!
I’m for sure gonna try the water bottle thing 🤞🤞 thanks!
Pretty nail polish 💅
Thanks!
Plastic back moss pole..100%easier..honestly if a plant struggles too much here,i dont bother with it..theres so many plants that do love my conditions..im not going to stress myself trying to keep something that isnt happy..lifes too short for fickle plants 😂.. random videos are great..just do you ❤❤❤
No grow tent and no dedicated plant room here 😩😂 For now I’m strategically placing them through the house. But very slowly because my husband isn’t into plants 😅
But, when my kids start leaving the nest I am for sure getting a plant room 😊
I bet they look so nice 😊
