TIMESTAMPS:
I work for a isopod company in the USA, the springtails will be easier to keep if you pair them with the isopods! They will break down the isopod waste and keep the soil fresh (they also eat the same things as the isopods). They are really cool and you would be surprised at how much your plant knowledge can be applied to isopods. Also it was really cool to see isopods that you have available in the uk!
ooh interesting to know! I defo feel like I could handle isopods, but I worry a bit more about killing them than plants
It's great that you give us an overall impression of the festival. I always find it a shame that other TH-camrs only show what they like and you never get a really good overview of the entire event. So, thank you for that
My pleasure 😉
Isopods are super easy! I just keep mine in a plastic shoebox and I don't do anything for them for weeks at a time, and they're still fine. Way easier than many of my house plants! There's great videos on how to keep them on TH-cam. Fun fact, they're not insects, they're crustaceans!
Just a tip, you might want to store the springtail food in the freezer. Grain based springtail food can attract mites that could overrun your springtail colony. The freezer keeps the mites from getting in the grain and reproducing or persisting in it.
Springtails and isopods are great. Be careful though or it becomes a type of "gotta collect them all!". Have fun and I love this video style!
oooh good shout! will put in the freezer now! thanks for the tip
RIP springtails :-) Thank you for sharing.
Can you do a video of how you created another plant swap and the trials and errors you had to work through!
I second this! I would love to do a plant swap in my area there are not very many I’ve seen only 1 in my area and it was still a 40 min drive away! I would love to be able to host one and create one that we would be able to do every few months!!
The springtails should be fine in enclosed terrariums as long as you have enough plants to refill the oxygen. Many people completely seal terrariums shut and the isopods, springtails, and other small insect/bugs and live for years like that no problem. Serpa Design on YT does terrariums all the time, and his bugs are fine as long as they have enough plants in the jars. From my personal experience, I tend to lose springtails when I let the soil dry out too much or don't feed them enough. :/
Emma I loved seeing you Claire having so much fun!🖤🌸
I went Saturday it was awesome I got to see Jonnys talk along with some others and got to met Claire which I was happy about would have loved to see your talks but maybe next year 😜. Hope RHS do more
Yeah I was defo bummed I couldn’t stay longer, but glad you had a brilliant time 🥰
Oh, I am soooooo jealous!!! ❤
So amazing! Just a weekend with a pack of friends like that sounds great to me!
Exactly 🥰
Thanks for the video. It really gives you a great impression of what the exhibition was like and whether you might want to go there yourself.
So lovely to meet you on Friday Emma!! I was in the front row of your 11am talk with Lisa, and introduced myself later in the day with my partner James. What a fantastic weekend!!
It was so great to meet you as well! thank you so much for coming out and supporting 🥰 I hope you had a brilliant day out at the festival!
I like how you sound English when you were speaking to the bug people and then switch back to an American accent on your videos.Hi from the coast of Maine❤
it's totally unconscious 🙃
Springtails just show up in all my (airtight!) terrariums and I don't do anything😆 I also find common grey house isopods crawling around my place every now and then and I'll just chuck 'em in one of my terrariums. I guess they're happy cause they're freaking huge!
yeah I have springtails just show up in some of my plants as well so idk... 🤷♀️
The leather hangers look interesting, but I feel like they aren't very flexible with different pot sizes. Macrame hangers are more forgiving with sizes I feel.
And if anyone is going to say stuff about leather being bad, leather is a byproduct of the meat industry (at least a big part of it). If you want to advocate for better treatment of animals support meat alternatives and stuff like that ^^
oh certainly, that's why he usually sells them with the pots included, similar to if you bought a hanging cache pot. I just said I didn't need them as I have so many pots at home already
Thanks for sharing this with us ❤
It was really nice to meet you on Friday…thank you for making this wonderful video. Fond memories of a lovely little holiday 💚☺️
so nice to meet you too! 🥰 I hope you had a brilliant day out at the festival
It was a such a good festival. Shame I missed you though, we went on the Saturday. Loved your video, very impressed you only bought half a plant!
I know! I totally wish I could have stayed longer but I probably would have died of exhaustion 😅 I hope you had a great day out anyways! did you get anything?
Oh no, I don't blame you...I was exhausted after just the 1 day! I bought 2 small monkey tail cactus that I'm going to pot up together and a gorgeous pepperomia hope. Both wish list plants and then Phil fell in love with a dieffenbachia reflector so we also got one of those!
You did a great job showing us that did not attend what it was like! Thank you!
I'm so happy you had a lovely time, and I am so happy that you got yourself a plant!!
Looked awesome 😀 So great you got to go with your friends 😀🇨🇦
What a great experience! Thanks for sharing... That Begonia looks gorgeous, and I was super distracted by your beautiful Peperomia in the background of this video! 😍💚
yeah I'm currently obsessed with that pep so I'm not surprised it's stealing all the attention!
Really enjoyed watching this video and glad to hear you had tons of fun. The begonia is stunning, never seen any begonia like it 😊
The best time was had! 💜
Looked like a lovely time!
I’m such an introvert, I’d be exhausted by that too 😂
yeah it really was tiring!
Very exciting event! Love your video.
Great video Emma, loved watching the RHS festival through your eyes, I was very tempted to go but work came in the way 😔
Hatacoa silver is a really stunning begonia, Dibley's do them often 😉
Like you, I was also quite confused while researching this one but they do grow vertically which I love ❤️
Not to send you down a begonia rabbit hole but have a look at the range from Dibley’s. 😊
oh god im scared to look because I'm sure I'll love them!
Have you moved begonia into pon before? They have such fine roots. I have been afraid to try it. Please let us know how it goes?
I don't think I've actually moved them but from prop straight to pon... yeah now I'm a bit nervous, I might take some safety cuttings just in case!
I had thought the same thing.... bondage
😂
Hmm other parts of your bedroom that are private from the videos 😅
I love that leather look though we do have the macrame ones.
Hahah nope! Yall have seen every inch of my home 😅
Hi Emma, I'm having a real fungus gnat infestation right now that is driving me crazy. I've tried mosquito bit tea, I've tried hydrogen peroxide 3% AND have sticky traps all over my house!!! My question is can I transfer all my plants to either solely water or solely vermiculite? I want to eradicate the use of soil, but don't have the budget to be able transfer them all to leca? I really hope you can reply and help a plant parent in need 😢 P.S Love love love your content
oh no! fungus gnats are such a pain! If you don't want to go and transfer everything, I'd highly recommend giving beneficial nematodes a try first. I did a video fairly recently on them and how I use them to get rid of fungus gnats!
The prices on those terrariums... Wow! I know the price of metal has risen, but 180 £ for a small amount of glass and iron? I wonder what the profit margins are on those. I suppose the fact that they are all handmade will make it very hard to keep the costs down, but still.
Lovely video, though! Don't mind me being a negative Nelly.
yeah I spoke to the guy about the prices because I also found them to be quite steep... but as a handmade item in a small business, like you said, it's hard to keep the costs down. Hence why I went for the smallest one he had because that was all I could afford
@@GoodGrowing Thank you for letting me know!
Hi, where did you get this tshirt? It's such a funny design.
the Monstera shirt is from Tropics Narcotics, I think you can use code GOODGROWING for 10% off as well 😉
It is wonderful you are grateful but don't downplay yourself. You were a presenter and that is a big deal.
naw thanks! 🥰 yeah it's hard to remember that it was actually quite a big deal
