📣 3+ HOUR LONG 📣 week of plant to-do's #10

is your head okay jeez your skull is hard i'm stuck dude do you want a pillow or do you want to sit on my lap okay thank you again come on come up here look we're recording i don't have all day sit your ass down boy hi guys we're back with another rest in peace rest in peace my patience hey shut up over there i said shut up over there we can do this you guys are you not going to film this intro with me then part is right here he's just on high alert welcome welcome back to cut take six seven i don't know if you guys can hear the noise outside but we gotta get we gotta get this going so i'm gonna try and talk a little louder even though my voice is not fully with me after just massive massive amounts of filming anyway i'm back welcome to another week of plant to-do's the last week of plant to do's was it was almost three hours long uh congratulations if you made it through the whole thing took me like a week to edit it which is not my norm i can usually like film and edit within two days and move on with my life but that was yeah i was honestly a part of me was trying to hit three hours long just to just to see on my channel that i have a three hour long video and people can be like what the hell is wrong with this chick but i couldn't do it there wasn't enough footage and obviously i wasn't gonna just a bunch of footage just to like make it three hours long but i think one day we'll get there honestly it's just a matter of time three four five hours who knows um but i don't think this one's gonna be as long although this week of plant to do's is gonna be a little bit more i don't want to say action-packed my life is not action-packed trust me but like i'm going to see plant friends this weekend i'm going to north shore tropicals and that's it no i have a lot of stuff to do around the house um there's i mean i feel like i'm finally getting like in a good place with a lot of my plants um the spider mite and thrip situation is like i want to say 80 revolved revolved resolved and it feels so good honestly it feels so good to make it through that without once breaking down without really panicking and just just kind of cruising through it and yeah i feel like i just want to try and normalize in this plant community how common it is to get pests and how it's honestly going to always be a part of this hobby it's like i i just expect it every year yeah it was a net so i made it through that it's been a long few months of just treatments and more treatments and more treatments and more treatments but i'm feeling really good i just my goal was to kind of get things under control by the time i leave for california which is maybe in about a month or two i'm we don't really have dates yet we're also going to go to alberta and we're just kind of trying to align our work schedules with these trips coming up so um yeah i have a few weeks to kind of get the rest of the collection under control and make sure that everyone that needs to be urgently repotted has been repotted so that's been the goals really of these plant week to do's because i feel like extra motivated to do things because i know that you guys really love the long videos and not that i'm trying to like fit a criteria or fit a mold or like a like a format for these series it's kind of become a thing now where i sort of expect myself to at least publish an hour and a half long video for the week of so yeah i mean as much as it sucks to have to like get ready every day and honestly film every day i just when i reflect back i get so much done and like yeah you guys definitely helped motivate me to [Music] to get my order that was a reminder to contact my credit card company because last night i think something was going on with doordash like canada wide um just started quick this is the longest intro ever oh my gosh i've been recording for eight minutes hurry hurry hurry okay so last night i tried to order thai food right and i was trying to order trying to order i was checking out and it just kept saying error i pressed that thing like five times i tried to like submit the order five times all of them got declined it says it was a payment issue and i was like am i that poor so i got my credit card thing thing which other mobile banking and i'm like no there's no way like girl my credit i don't have great credit but i'm definitely not ever like maxing out stuff like i know where i stand with my credit cards i'm like this can't be right so uh yeah i go on a credit card i see that they charge me five times so i paid like 150 for meals that i did not receive and then so i was like whatever we ordered pizza instead and that arrived fine but yeah now i have five charges for this thai place that i need to dispute even though i did order it but it just never came anywho um this intro has been way too long um today is friday it is a great friday i've had a pretty amazing mental health week with a few sort of hiccups here and there but um just overall generally doing much better than the last week of plant to do's the weather has been so nice and i just feel i feel good so today is a very very very busy day i am going to be filming another youtube video but after i film this video i'm gonna have a lot of vessels to clean i'm going to have a lot of substrate to clean and i already have piles and piles and piles of pond that need to be repotted not repotted pond that needs to be pawn that needs to be sterilized from the video that i did with my rehab ethereums i've just got so much washing and sterilizing to do today so that's what i'll be doing in today's week of we're just going to kind of get reset i'm going to get all my vessels cleaned i want to prepare this new batch of pond so that this week we can do a ton of repotting and we can do a ton of rehabbing and whatever needs to be done so with that said my gosh i've been recording for 11 minutes let's just get started i'm going to film my video and then i will meet you in the kitchen and we will start doing the chore that i hate doing the most in this whole world so anyway welcome back to a week of hopefully it's a good one pudge has been such a cranky butt to me today i don't know what it is um i just finished filming that video and it was flipping exhausting it was a lot of repotting it was a lot of mess and now i need to spend another few hours sterilizing pond cleaning substrates cleaning my kitchen guys look at this i can't even believe i'm about to show you this right now look at all of the overflow recycling that we have not taken out not only have my husband and i managed to put off grocery shopping for like a week and a half and have just been ordering way too much takeout and just finding scraps around the house we've just been we've just been kind of lazy to be honest this is one of the reasons why we don't have kids because there's no way that i could find the willpower to cook for children and to make sure the house is clean all the time like i'm just we're a mess we are a hot mess and i think we've been very responsible to not bring children into this world for that reason but you know time's ticking i've also been out of coffee so i've been drinking earl grey tea that is not strained very well and it's like going in my throat but yeah i'm just trying to power up for this next few hours of filming and just straight up work i'm also doing laundry right now and like fridays and sundays are my days of just getting my life back in order i don't usually film this much on friday because yeah like i said friday's laundry day friday is the day that i make sure that the trash and everything goes out um but yeah i just i've been filming like crazy and i'm i'm actually making a dent in my schedule it's just whenever i think that i'm ahead it like creeps up on me and i'm like oh no i only have like two videos in the queue now whereas before i had six because i get a little too lax or i'm like oh i have so much in the bank i can chill out so i'm just trying to keep like a good steady pace um so sometimes it does require me to film two videos in a day i did film three videos in a day a few days ago never again never again that was that was that was terrible but uh yeah um so over the this next part i'm honestly not gonna be chatting i'm not gonna be talking because the last thing i want to do is chit chat while i'm doing my least favorite chore so um i will just kind of give you sort of a far away view of me just running around the kitchen cleaning it's going to be a lot of boring just me at the sink and you see vessels piling up i will give you i will give you a closer look um in the stove area or at the stove area once i start uh cleaning my la choose upon just i don't know give you something else to look at but yeah it's just gonna be a lot of time lapsing and i feel like it's kind of nice to have parts where you you don't really need to pay a lot of attention you just kind of know i'm doing something and you guys can be doing your own plant chores too so yeah i guess it's now or never what time is it i'm fading fast oh no i'm just talking so that i don't have to work so let's just get this done [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] i am exhausted and i'm not even done i did finish washing all the vessels which is really good but i still have to sterilize the perlite um you guys would have seen that i threw up some blurbs about what the process was but yeah it's just a lot easier for me to sterilize the pawn and the perlite separately because you saw how that perlite just floats the top and kind of blocks everything so um if i have any energy after tomorrow's event i will finish up what i was doing if not i will finish it up on sunday but for now i'm going to get out of here i gosh i'm sweaty i'm tired i need to redo my manicure before tomorrow i need to go grocery shopping i need to finish laundry um i need to take a shower like it's a disaster it's all a big freaking disaster so i'm gonna go i'll see you guys tomorrow um the next time you see me i will probably either be in the car with alice or at north shore um but either way tomorrow should be a fun time probably going to be an exhausting day but um good nonetheless i haven't seen alice in quite quite a bit so um yeah anyway good first day but we've got a long week ahead so i'll see you tomorrow morning everyone happy saturday i am exhausted i was um editing until 3 00 am didn't get to bed till about 3 30 and yeah i'm tired but i am in a good mood because it's super sunny today it's warm it's going to be like i think at the hottest it's going to be like 80 fahrenheit i don't know what that is in celsius sorry guys i'm just on my way to alice's house right now and we are gonna head over to lauren's together i'm not quite sure if we're gonna do our car talks today um i know alice has kind of gone through a little bit of a rough patch she's just really stressed with work i don't think she'll really be up for vlogging and i kind of just want to catch up with her and see what's going on because i haven't really um seen her seen her in a while like she came by once to drop something off but that was about it so anywho yeah we are aiming to be at lauren's around 10 30. i think that the plants are being cleared right now um apparently they were supposed to land at 10 the event starts at 12 so we're just gonna get there a bit earlier to see what we can film and um obviously help lauren out a bit and maybe i don't know if the tropicals plants aka the ecuaflora team will need any help but yeah we'll be there regardless so yeah i'm excited to see what they bring hopefully the plans are in okay condition i'm sure they will be but yeah there was a little bit of a delay they were stuck in panama i believe for a little bit and lauren thought she might have to postpone the event luckily it got to canada in time i don't know if i'll be getting anything to be honest like i really should not be spending money right now like i am i really shouldn't be like i've been doing so well at like paying things down and um just being in a better place financially so i just kind of want to keep that going but who really knows if anything maybe i'll limit myself to one plant that's what i say but yeah anyway i'm almost here alice doesn't like people knowing where she lives so i don't want to give too much away in the background so yeah gotta go see you at lawrence [Music] [Music] ah [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hi frankfurt oh [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] uh [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] um [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] hmm [Music] ah [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] ah [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] um [Music] ah [Music] do [Music] [Music] do you want a photo with your hands in the middle [Music] oh my gosh like i just yelled that out loud everyone everyone [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] i don't know okay i don't know okay i look so haggard and disgusting i look like i've been working i was working yeah you were working i was just walking around with my hands she is the most adorable human being ever who's gonna wear this planet i'm so damn excited to go home i'm actually excited to just take a nap and then go clean i want a clean apartment for next week because next week's gonna be a stressful week for me cannot have a messy apartment yeah i like to i love cleaning on sundays those yeah that's why i was like on my schedule day off eating clean all day yeah is there anything you don't like to clean yeah the stove and the oven oh yeah well how often do you clean your oven i clean it like max once a year ever since i've lived at the apartment i've cleaned it once okay so i've been there for two and a half years now it's so cute so cute maybe i should just grow it for a little bit no i've seen her tomorrow gonna be scared i know maybe she should just leave it in loss the thing is like the her ace mag seedlings she moved i think she moved them because they weren't growing in moss and that's the reason why i remind pawn too yeah mine mine were not doing crap in moss they were staying so dinky and tiny that's why i moved it to soil and that was drying up so dang fast so pond's the best pond is the best um tree fern fiber actually makes it have a really really nice root but the size growth is not as robust as soil and pond interesting my seedlings are still in moss though like the ones that i pollinated oh i'm surprised about that i need to take care of those just don't have time i feel like you haven't done a repot video in a long time i know because like those end up taking the longest to edit so i'm like i can't i can't do it and i've been doing so much reporting off camera alice yeah prime content i know i just like it's the cleanup for me i don't care about editing it's the freaking cleanup oh for me it's the editing like and then my lazy way is just to time-lapse it and like not talk because like i think editing myself and what i say is the thing i hate the most about um editing i feel like you'll get better at it though because i feel like it was i kind of had that same experience too in my first few months and then now i'm just like whatever and i hate how i talk why it's so normal they're so weird i think i stutter too much and i don't hear it well as i'm stuttering and then i hear it when i'm editing there's so many mosquito things raise your hand if you've ever heard alice stutter because i haven't stutter and like mumble and like trip over my words well i do that a lot don't die yet you can die when you get home oh no i forgot it what my dreams sour watermelon i bought caramel corn yesterday from caramel caramel oh popcorn so freaking good i'm getting my period soon so i bought chocolate covered pretzels caramel popcorn so many sugars dorito hot cheetos um the watermelon sour gummies i got oreos classic oreos i got so many freaking snacks i know it's still shaking oh that's awful you know what we're gonna have to we're gonna have to end this because it keeps shaking because alice's car is too squishy right now so uh everyone say bye bye bye alice in my week of the plant today see you later bye charmaine's friends charmaine spring it is like insanely hot um dude i wanted to give you guys an update before i got home because i don't plan on filming um but yeah just on the way back from north shore i am so tired i look nasty it was hot today which was awesome but also excruciating at the same time but i yeah i'm gonna take a day off tomorrow um i think i've decided that every sunday even if i'm filming week offs are just gonna be my day where i don't do any work at all my apartment the state my apartment is in is probably the worst it's been in like a long time and i have a crazy week next week with filming and then also with um some projects that i need to start for a client with an insane deadline so i just want the house to be like snatched like i want it to be like and span like not nothing out of place because i feel like if i go into next week with my apartment in the state that it's in i'm just going to be in a foul mood so uh yeah on monday we'll pick back up on b gov and i'll show you the stuff that i got from north shore tropicals so that's the update um it's funny that i give you guys these updates like oh you're not going to see me tomorrow and then it like cuts and then it goes straight to the next scene so it's just funny because it's a totally different experience when i'm actually filming it but yeah i'm gonna enjoy the rest of my weekend it's gonna be a really really nice weekend so i'm looking forward to not having to film until monday but we've got a busy day monday so i guess i will see you then good morning everyone say hi pudge this is what he does every single morning when i'm like preparing my husband's breakfast stuff and whatever he sits right there and he just waits and waits until it's time for him to have his breakfast and he's just so quiet such a good boy and he's just such an angel i don't even know what i did to deserve you buddy oh no the rocket's coming out um you want to say hi to your friends say happy monday everyone so we [Music] hold on babe we are going to just do a few things this morning i'm going to take him out a little bit earlier than normal because it's going to be very hot today and i don't want him to burn his little paws on the pavement so we're going to just have a slow morning and then we will jump right into plant stuff [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] and then you can say hi sorry [Music] oh my big boy hello everyone um i know i feel the same way hello everyone can i eat your pot smells like fritos oh we've just had a day a long day i have been editing all day i finished i finished one video it's currently uploading onto youtube right now so i'm feeling really good i'm about three weeks ahead now and yeah just i haven't been this far ahead pretty much since i started youtube so it feels feels pretty good um but the plant room is a bloody mess like you can kind of see the chaos behind me i have kind of a lot to do i do have a meeting scheduled for tonight we don't have a specific time yet but i just kind of anxious for that so before my meeting tonight i'm just gonna get the plant room cleaned up if i have time i might do a repot because i do have some things that i need to address badly uh let me just let me just kind of show you what's going on over here and i'll show and also show you what i got from north shore tropicals can i put you down now you don't want to go down how can i hold the plant and have you on my lap at the same time i don't think i can have a kiss i think that was a no all right so here's one thing i need to get potted up is this philadel that i got from jing i used to have one of these before i got rid of it because it was just plagued by extra floral nectaries and i just couldn't keep it happy so i'm going to try again this was one of the first plants that i fell in love with when it was being sold in our stores i just thought it was so fun um if you guys follow this channel you know that i love the caramel marble so this is the closest that i'm ever gonna get to it although they did just started it they did just start selling ring of fires locally for like nine dollars which is crazy so i think eventually i'll try and get my hands on one of those because i have been wanting one for a while i just wasn't willing to pay the price that they've been what is under here um something else that i need to repot oh um let me show you another thing that's needed a repot for a while have you ever seen such a sad and pathetic looking philadelphian el choco red because i haven't so this is one of nick's plants that i've been caring for it had thrips and then we got rid of it and then it got spider mites which it still has which is why it's not near any of my plants right now but it's just needed a repot for all it's just it's just needed a repot for a long time like look at this stem there's so much of that like husky sheath on it i was actually going to repot this in a totally like separate video like just do a whole like el choco red repot because there were so many other leaves on it it was like this it was a whole thing it it's bad it's so bad so bad but then the leaves started dying off so yeah i was like okay maybe not but i did want to save it for this month's week of so that's something i have to do this month um i have two plans that i need to sell that are in very bad looking condition that i want to get spruced up but i did get a few things from from north shore tropicals i can't remember if i've mentioned this already but i didn't end up buying anything from um tropical's plants equiflora because of the fact the boxes were delayed and i wasn't able to get there on sunday when the rest of them showed up oh yeah update all the boxes showed up um crisis averted but yeah it was just too bad for the people who came on saturday like myself who weren't able to see what actually came in so anyway let me show you what i got the first one is this nasty disgusting scum of the earth ancient dumpster hoya that lauren gave me i think it's like a hoya undulata something i'm not quite sure i think that she didn't have an id when she got this one in and it was a brand new import when i saw it at the shop and i was like what is this i need one and she's like well i don't want to give you one yet because i don't know if they're alive because like look at this leaf it looks guided um so she's like let me wait and see if it roots let me make sure it doesn't die right away um and then yeah like once i feel like they're showing signs of life then i'll give one to you i mean i don't know if it's just the scumminess of it but like there's like little yellow spots i'm i'm not quite sure if it's happy i don't think she quite knows if it's happy which is why she hasn't had these for sale but i told her i wanted one and she put one aside for me so um thank you lauren for this beautiful gift i love it so much it's gonna look so amazing in my hoya cabinet but i think i do want to get it out of moss i can see some i can see some new roots happening i just don't want this to be a plant that gets really root bound in here i hate wrestling with hoya root and moss it has to be like one of the worst things ever um the next thing are two little gifts from her as well one day she oh no oh no oh no okay we'll definitely have to repot this one now ow sure one day she texted me she's like do you have a hoya rotunda flora and i was like no no i don't and then i showed up at the shop and she was like this is for you and i love it it's so fuzzy i kind of feel like this is a great replacement almost for my for my serpens that recently died is it dead where is it what the heck oh it's right there still not dead but yeah it's kind of like a long string bean looking hoya serpent it doesn't feel fuzzy but there is fuzz on it i don't know if you guys can tell um it's got little little tiny peach fuzz but it's not fuzzy to the touch it's not exactly like a serpent because the serpents does feel fuzzy but these are just so cute and i'm so happy to have another sort of long traily hoya in the cabinet because i did want to add more stuff to the wall i am starting to get things trellised but i don't think that this is one that i would actually enjoy on a trellis i think i much prefer as a trailing hoya so this is one that i will for sure get on the wall and we'll see kind of how wild and crazy it grows but yeah this thing's got like there's like three plants in here or something or like two plants with like three growth points each it's so freaking bushy the last front she gave me i completely freaking mangled geez louise i completely upgraded this thing in moss so this is some kind of deschetia and she knows that i love plants like this and i also think this is going to make a great addition to the plant cabinet again not one that i think i would enjoy trellis but i mean it does look kind of cute like if it was like half trellised and half trailing i mean we'll see i'm not really sure i'm pretty open to the idea now of trellising plants that i otherwise would have always wanted to be a trailing plant but i still i think i still much prefer a trailer but yeah it would be kind of interesting to see if i got into it and if i got into a nicer pot and then had like the trellis going upward but then just had a few of the strands kind of hanging off and then it's just like hanging on the red stuff that might be kind of cool so yeah thank you so much lauren for these plants i love them so much my redstone cabinet video is slowly but surely coming together next payday i am going to try and see if i can buy a few hoyas from jing because i do want to fill it in a bit and i said that i didn't want to just add random plants to my to my red stuff but jing has hoyas that i really like so that's just you know that kind of solves that problem the last thing i grabbed from her was another can of this spider-mite knockout spray i do not know where this spray has been my entire life but i am just i'm never gonna be without this now especially during the warmer season when spider mites run rampant through my apartment i feel like my spider mite situation has significantly reduced in a very short amount of time since the use of this spray i also have been using predatory mites so far i'm not seeing any uh bad interaction between this spray and my mites because i have mites everywhere especially in my tent where it's hot and humid they just hatch like crazy and they're all they're crawling all over the place and my spider mite situation is pretty much completely resolved in my tent which is amazing but yeah i've been using the two together and i i don't know if maybe it's killing off some of the the might but i still have a significant amount throughout my collection so yeah so far so good i'm really happy that lauren i'm so itchy i'm glad that lauren suggested this to me and i just had to grab another bottle because again maybe like 20 percent of my collection still has a little bit of spider mites or like recurring spider mites so i just want to make sure that i have some on hand for um when i need to treat again uh i don't know if i i kind of wanted to wait until i did like a dedicated video but again i try and sprinkle in some goodies for people that watch these super freaking long videos so do you guys remember um in the uh now wait hold on i have to think about if this video is going up before week of yeah okay so if you guys watch my video where it's like plants i don't show very often i would have shown an ethereum hybrid that i was seeing online being circulated as like a viroquian and pappy hybrid so i just very very quickly i mentioned i got this from alice and i didn't really love the plant but i was so for some reason i was just so curious to see how it would turn out to be in like its full mature form if i could ever grow it that big and i kind of just wanted to see it through so it's one of those plants that i don't really really love but just have in my collection just to like observe so here's that plant in that video a new leaf was emerging but it was still a little taquito so you couldn't see it i'm gonna try to not show you the new leaf right away so i was showing you how the leaves all looked like this kind of i don't know unsuspecting i said that it kind of reminded me of a mad verde all of the leaves in my care since i've had it have looked exactly like this and i did mention i felt like this was not its mature form i felt like it still had a lot of like evolving to do and like you'll notice this sinus it's like nice and tight but look at this new leaf look at this sinus it's huge like it's so wide like that's a that's a pappy hybrid if i've ever seen one so i'm just so like reassured in my decision to have held on to this thing for so long despite wanting to kind of get rid of it i just felt in my bones there was something good to wait for so yeah it's just so incredible how it was such like a vast it was such a quick sort of evolvement of the plant like it went from this straight to that like these look like two totally different plants insane it's insane and i feel like this is gonna be a good sized leaf but this is this is so beautiful i like was so stunned that this was what showed up like i kind of figured yeah it's probably a papi hybrid although i didn't really see that much papi in it but it was like hold on hold my beard let me show you i'm coming so yeah that's really exciting another thing that is very exciting is uh this new crystal leaf is huge this was that plant that um pushed out like a million bajillion growth points and i can't remember if i showed it in this video or if i was thinking of my instagram stories but yeah this new leaf it's pretty much hardened off now like i don't think it's going to grow any more than this but i do think that this plant has the potential to get quite large if i just continue keeping it healthy i'm not quite sure if any of the other growth points are gonna wake up but that would be pretty cool to have like a little crystalline bush so anyway um i think for today i just want to get cleaned up um i'm not feeling great about going into this next week with a super messy plant room and i do have a lot of things i need to do this week for week of and just in general for filming other videos so i think a clean plant room is where i want to start and then if i have time before this meeting starts then i think maybe we'll repot a thing or two and just see how far it gets so for now yeah just going to time lapse clean up a little bit might do a little bit of watering it's been ages since i've even opened up this um mills bow honestly so yeah all right let's get started [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] for some reason i have not been summoned to my meeting yet even though it's almost 9 p.m but i'm still standing by but the plant room is as clean as it's going to get for now but i think in the meantime i can try and save some of these seedlings that are looking very very sad i have lots and lots of dead city things i can see four three four probably 25 dead seedlings okay maybe more like 35 but you know such as life um these have been outside of the greenhouse for way too long because i pulled it out to show it in a video i was like i'm gonna handle this later and then never did so um anyway i've got these in tree fern fiber so dry they fall right off though and like the roots are so nice and like fuzzy but i think that once i get these into pond they should bounce back um pretty well because these root systems are actually still very healthy despite being really dry oh my gosh pudge he's been so like extra knee lately like usually we go out twice a day that's like the sort of normal for us and at night vince often has to like drag him out because he's already sleeping and like doesn't want to leave so he has to like pull him out of bed force him to put his leash on but lately it's like he sits by the door and just wants to go out like all the time and i'm like dude what is up with you and it makes me anxious because i feel like he's uncomfortable or he like needs my attention and i can't focus on my work oh man this one is not looking i think i'm gonna chuck this one so we got some dead seedlings honestly like i ended up with way more seedlings than i ever expected like when i first um pollinated my inflow i was like oh like i'd love to get like 20 seedlings and then i ended up with like 150 or something i don't even i don't know it was just too many so i kind of knew there would be some casualties i knew that i didn't want to sell them as like little tiny plants because i didn't know if they would die a lot of friends who have purchased seedlings from uh people local have killed their seedlings and i just wanted to make sure they were large enough to go to new homes and i felt comfortable that they had like a good enough root system and were like strong enough to to move out of my my my conditions so yeah okay here's i'm gonna pull out my tray i've got quite a few left i have one two three four five six seven eight nine ten i have probably about 12 trays left of seedlings still i think this view is better but it's all it's either going to be i'm cut off or the plants are cut off and i feel like it's probably better that i'm cut off rather than the plants oh my gosh he is seriously like hey lady take me out okay this one is dead sorry little fella so this one is still nice and strong oh man i needed to address these seedlings for a long long long time and they've really been stressing me out to be honest but i think i'm slowly but surely getting them into individual pots or getting them into um like a denser substrate like pond or really heavy soil not like this super super dry aerated aerobic mix i don't know why i chose to use my aeroid mix off the bat um because yeah they just dried out way too freaking fast so lesson learned and i think i showed you oh yeah i showed you guys my pawn pond my latuza pond pond in the beginning of this video i think so hard to remember i'm just oops filming back to back to back now and i really don't have an idea of what's in what video anymore but yeah i'm planning to make another pond so that um i don't have to worry about them so much every time my phone vibrates i'm like no it's my meeting i'm just like i'm just really tired and i hate monday meetings but this meeting was already pushed back from friday and kind of has to happen so some of these roots are getting really nice and chunky which makes me very happy because i've come to realize that i don't like working with seedlings i would love to pollinate again and try and hybridize something else but i don't think i would want such a huge inflow next time i'd love to pollinate something a little bit smaller um but yeah that inflow on my crystal mag was freaking ginormous and i didn't even think the entire thing would take but i had a full we had a full infestance peepee and yeah pretty much 100 of the seeds germinated and i didn't lose any until they kind of got a little bit bigger and i was transplanting them but i was like oh for my first time this can't go very well because i underestimated my my abilities look how sad these are you guys bad sherman dead dead and gone also dead and gone uh pretty much dead and gone [Music] nope done four got two reliable ones here of all of these super rehab seedlings if i can save like 20 of them i would be really really happy and then i think that i would have like a really good manageable amount and then i think maybe over christmas i'll sell them i'm actually planning to take them to the states to sell them on marketplace there because i think that like the like more people are buying down there um because there's like an abundance of plants here in canada and i feel like the selection isn't as fast in sacramento i could be wrong it's not like i'm checking the market there all the time but all i see is pretty much what my sense what my sister sends me but she is getting some pretty good deals on things like she just got this she really loves the stanley anna monstera san leanna and so she just got an oreo one for like five dollars she got like three of them for five not three of them for five but she got three for five each and yeah that's like crazy crazy cheap i think that pretty much all of these seedlings are dead in this one like they're still viable like stems but the stems are so tiny that i think if i even chop the stem or like chop the leaves off i don't think that the stem is gonna make it because it's so tiny so i'm not even going to bother so these are going in the dumbaroo last two in this cabinet got probably about four here that can be saved i think this one's dead these three aren't are these two are dead and i think this one might be dead as well let's see um yeah not gonna bother with that one but these three should be okay not in the best shape but i think savable maybe all right the pond is going in i'm just gonna lay them out and then just start filling them with pond [Music] [Music] can you take him out because he's been sitting at the door for like 30 minutes and he's been farting and i think he might have to again [Music] did you eat dinner already [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so there's a very high chance that a lot of these won't take the to won't take to the transition well since most of them came from soil and we're we're working with very very delicate roots on a plant that's not very strong and going from soil to passive hydro so yeah there's a chance that maybe half of these or more might not make it but we're just going to see what happens but anyway i've got most of these new pods filled um [Music] let's see i'm just i just want to see how much space i have to work with because oh my gosh this one's so flimsy so i want to see like how much space i'm working with here because i have these ones for my pond some of them are not doing very well some of them are doing okay i can see some new leaves like it looks like this one completely died there are new roots but it's dead that's weird okay transfer this one kind of remove dead leaves but i am pleased with how much some of these have perked up because a lot of these that went into the pond were sadder looking than these and now they look like they've got a little bit of life in them i even see a new leaf so that's good this one has one leaf and it's like dying but i don't know i'm not going to give up on that one quite yet this one is looking pretty okay you can see some new leaves some dying leaves but [Music] wow not all hope is lost i feel like i can see some spider might damage on a few of them i'm actually going to be treating these ones for thrips and spider mites preemptively so once i get everyone into their pods i'm going to take them to the bathroom and i'm going to spray them just in case okay so that's kind of perfect i've got about four pods left in my humidity dome so they should all be able to fit in here perfectly and um yeah then i'll treat but first things first i'm gonna have dinner i'm gonna see if this meeting is still happening because it's getting kind of late but i think i do have it in me to keep going tonight and just get this seedling thing um situated and treat my seedlings preemptively for thrips and spider mites so yeah making some progress i am so sleepy now after that dinner [Music] these are sad but alive minus maybe one she's a goner [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh my god man some of these seedlings are looking so so sad like i would not be surprised if so many of them took a big fat cocka like this guy who's like just put me in the trash just i'm calling it quits all right so i'm not gonna i'm not gonna take you into the bathroom because it's so hard to film in there um but i'm just going to take these into the shower and i'm going to give them a good spray with my spider mite and thrip spray and then i'll leave them in there overnight and then tomorrow i will clean out the mills bow and kind of get everything settled so i think that's all i have in me for the rest of the night so tomorrow should be a pretty full day i will kind of show you how i put everything back into the prop area i'm going to clean out my mills bow i think because it's looking a little crusty in there i need to water my ethereum shelf i was going to do it tonight but i i don't know i try to not water at night if i can because then in the morning i wake up and like everything is like perspiring and sometimes i get like those like bursted cells in the plant because all that water just kind of like rushes into the plant and like it's just like sweating it out so maybe we'll save watering for tomorrow or possibly even wednesday but for sure want to kind of get more of these things repotted probably most of this week of plant to-do's will be mostly repotting i think just because i'm feeling very determined to get everything like all my rehabs all my seedlings like everything that's in moss still like i want all of those to be kind of handled by the beginning of july if possible so anyway i'm blabbing um i'm gonna go to bed i will see you guys tomorrow hi it's wednesday i took a day off of filming because i had work to do and i wanted to just kind of get caught up with my editing when i film week of i actually edit every single day after i film so that like i'm not bombarded with like 15 hours of footage to edit all at once so i kind of wanted to get caught up and just finish all of my editing up to monday so i took tuesday off because i actually had some unexpected plans come up for the end of the week lauren has asked me to help her get the shop back together because she's just having she's just had such a crazy time she needs help kind of getting the storefront back together alice is going to help out in the warehouse in the back so i figured i could definitely spare a day of filming since i'll have some extra stuff to show you on friday i don't plan on doing like a full shop tour or whatever even though she has tons of new plants i'm going to kind of let alice take reign of the back of the warehouse to get the content she needs but i will show you highlights around the warehouse like new plants she's brought in um try and show you some of the overflow plants from the echo generator from the tropical tropicals plant slash equiflora show and just some plants that are kind of like standing out to me right now in her shop but um i do plan on filming a separate video getting the store back together but i'll give you some little peaks in this video before that video goes up yeah again i'm not really feeling up to editing another three hour video for this week of so took a day off but i'll still have definitely enough stuff to show you this week last night late last night i did end up coming into the plant room and just sort of zenned out because after just 16 hours behind the screen i just needed i needed something to kind of like make me not feel like a corpse so i went through my tent i cleaned it out i took out some things that need tension that needs some care so i figured we can do that today but the first thing i want to do is get the mills bow back in order because my seedlings are all potted they can be put back in here i used to have the seedlings here but i think that they do much better inside of the mills bow and then that way i can reclaim this space for my overflow props which are in my smallest exo and then i think i'm going to convert my smallest exo into the plants that i'm specifically growing for my family that i'm going to be taking to california so that i just kind of know who needs to go there um and i just think that'll be better because i have props in there right now and it's just not really being utilized um correctly well it's not being utilized in a way that i would like so anyway i'm oh this thing's sweating um i'm just taking out all the allocations right now because i just want to do a quick spider mite check and uh kind of see who needs to be watered and stuff so let's just take these out and i'll kind of give you guys a peek at what's going on so you can tell that i kind of struggle in this corner i can only open the door this far because of this shelf which is another reason why i want to find a smaller table because it's really really wide and so i just need one that's a little bit shorter so that this mills bow can shift this way a little bit and then i can swing this door all the way open because right now it's like it's so awkward to work here especially i try and film in this little corner a lot and yeah it's like the most uncomfortable place ever to film so yeah and i'm just really like always like super cramped and smushed in here and it's just not it's not great so anywho doing a little check we got the alocasia black velvet and [Music] i'm trying to decipher what is a predatory mite and what are spider mites so the thing when you buy the um where are they where is it so when you buy the predatory mites inside of the little packet i believe it comes with bran which is food for the mites if there's nothing for them to eat and then there are the actual like spikal mites ultimites risky mites whatever you're using and then there's like these like feeder mites which are much smaller they don't grow very large and it's basically other mites that the predatory mites can feed on just so that like they're like the colonies or whatever lasts longer and they don't die off as fast if there's nothing for them to eat so those are the ones that can kind of spread very very very quickly around your plants and yeah sometimes they can almost resemble spider mites but i'm just trying to like i can see stuff on the back of this and it's moving like i can't tell if these are predatory mites or if these are few or might other either way they're not they don't they're not spider mites they're definitely some kind of predatory mites or at least these like little feeder mite guys so i'm gonna leave those don't see any webbing not seeing any damage on the leaf so this one is looking okay i actually have a corm right here that i can pluck out do i want to pluck it out um i feel like it can grow a little bit more before i pluck it i have these allocatious and water synewaticorms i was going to i was going to bring these for my family but they have both expressed that they're not super into allocations so i'm not sure if i can get anything for this in terms of trades and stuff but i don't really need another one so um these are kind of just like i don't know i'll keep it for now just to see how they do and maybe i can just throw out some feelers in the group and see if anyone's down for a trade um my syningia leukotrika is getting really long i don't know if this thing is super long because it's looking for light but it's getting plenty of light in here so anyway i'm just glad it's growing it just looks a little bit silly it's flailing around everywhere this is my alocasia green dragon i'm not seeing any spider mites i'm just honestly like sorry my contact has been bothering me all day um i'm just like so happy to see the results of months of spider mite treatments and just kind of persistence and not giving up you know so yeah like where most of these allocations had spider mites and some of them are pretty bad it's like i'm almost not seeing any anymore which is so great i definitely will be topping up on my predatory mites once lauren gets more in this one has yet another corn this thing is just like always pregnant what the heck um my mellow looking so cute i can see some stuff crawling around but i do believe those are the little teeny tiny feet on my guys too oh that's nice [Music] i should get a little trash can but yeah i gotta i gotta water these guys because some of them have not been watered in freaking ages gosh this thing is so dry this is a zero assist use seriousness use zero sistius zero sisio zero systeos dengue eye that i was supposed to give aaron but she has been trying to downsize her collection so i'm not quite sure if she even wants it anymore but i've been hanging on to it if she doesn't take it then i'll just give it to my mom um here is my maharani [Music] i'm still a little guy but you know slowly slowly but surely cupria that was rehabbing definitely has been rehabbed it's super rooty i can probably get this thing into um new pawn again but yeah this one has struggled a bit i don't find this one to be super super easy like my uh like my scalp from or whatever but uh alocasia mikuliziano maxkowski i is rooting and tooting along just fine it's in that pond that i got from ina it did drop like two leaves but um we have another one that came out doesn't look the greatest but honestly i think this guy is gonna hopefully glow up over the summer i have a good feeling silver dragon is pushing out lots of little pups or like little corms down here none of them are large enough to harvest but again i wouldn't even know what to do with them i think eventually i'll just if i if i have too many props or too many quorums i'll just give start giving them away got a nice sheath opportunity here i checked this one not too long ago i didn't see any spider mites on it it's just so so nice to see pest free plants yeah i would love to see this one size up um i think it's fern that has a really large silver dragon i know she has like a huge like green dragon and hers is like beautiful so we're manifesting um this is my scalp from just kind of this one has this one pushed out like three flowers in a row like three inflows in a row and i've just been chopping them off i actually think this one coming in is another one and it hasn't given me a leaf in so freaking long i'm like come on guy it's been it's been it's been a while you know and then my white princess i think i showed this leaf recently in a video i can't remember or maybe it was i can't remember filming too much these days but yeah this leaf is like pretty sizable compared to the rest of them and this new leaf doesn't look like it's going to have any sectoral variation but it looks like it'll be speckly with maybe like a little strip of white so oh checking for pests checking for pests man nothing it's amazing this is amazing okay so now that we have inspected the entire team we're gonna just clean up in here because it is looking crusty and i really would love to give you a closer view of the clean because i feel like it's like really satisfying to see all the dirt being wiped away but i i can't fit i can't fit anything in here if i put you right here i would knock the camera right over i have to open this the whole thing so i think i'm just gonna stick you right there and we're just gonna get this cleaned up but yeah look like this is this is the space i'm working with i gotta be right here [Music] so [Music] foreign [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] okay [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] foreign [Music] so [Music] here is the finished whoa seedling tray and ah door closed no no a part of me wants to keep the dome on oh i look like a little head that's just like hello um so part of me wants to keep this the dome on the top of it to enclose humidity since some of these are just not doing very well but then i've got like big seedlings like this that like don't need the dome on anymore nor do i want to get them used to like higher humidity look at this cutie leaf i'm deceased so i don't know i guess we'll just see how they do and uh hopefully they're all right i do need to fill this guy with water though [Music] [Music] okay so i put i put about four of these into this seedling tray and we'll see how they do i might need to add more a little bit later but they should be okay for now and now i just need to add the rest of my seedlings into here i cannot wait to get out of this corner oh i did it again stupid necklace i could feel my tummy rumbling look at how big this seedling is getting i think yeah this is the biggest one so far it's so round um i don't know if these need water i think they do okay let me just water some of these really quickly ah i just furs in here oh well extra proteins and minerals [Music] [Music] [Music] and i think i can put some of my scalp rooms in here too um sad news in the scalp room world i lost one of them already and i think another one is on the way out it was i think the two in soil that took uh kaka but i've still got i've still got a good amount here so we'll see but like look at this one i think we'll work on that today see what's going on this one has not done anything so i kind of want to see what's going on in here too and same with this one um the two in moss are still going strong and same with the ones in pawn although the smaller of the corm does not look does not look well but this one is this one's okay so they're dwindling down a little bit but i mean i've got i'm pretty sure i have more scalp and corns in my mother plant so nothing to worry about today's chores are going to be like 10 times more than i had planned for okay um i'm just trying to get like all my little props down here i think i can move this one down i'm pretty sure i had more allocations propagating i'm going to have to find oh i forgot my nicoletiana whoops uh where do you want to go guy so everything is okay so far in there um i am going to what's the plan here i don't know if i want to start moving my props in here now or if i want to start repotting i'm gonna figure it out after i have lunch because i'm starved but yeah lots and lots and lots to do today okay so full all right let's check in on some of these props what even are these oh this is my dark phoenix that's where it went look there's a leaf oh my gosh it's so freaking teeny tiny that is the cutest little dark phoenix ever i plan to give this one to my sister because i think that this is one that she would really enjoy even though i could get a good amount of money for it or at least like a pretty solid trade i would uh much rather go to my sister and then i don't know what the heck this is truly i hate when propagations do these little bushes you know like why for what um and then this variegated this variegated hai is also going to my sister so randomly she had that on her wish list well she actually had a hay on her wish list and i was like let me do you one better got a variegated one for you um [Music] my serpens is somehow still alive in here even though it's flooded in water single leaf going strong then i've got some type of chunk in here and then i think this one's a jose a jose bono maybe oh this is a nasty pop box okay so what i need to do is just start moving some props over here and i almost want to get some of them into a humidity dome i think so let me go grab it i actually just cleaned it last night did you guys see him do you guys think should i let him in all right baby you look so sad my poor thing you can sit on this little towel i have here don't sit on the towel no you can sit right here oh my hair hi i know we're gonna go take our nap soon i just gotta finish up in here okay i know how about you sit on this towel sit there don't eat that that's a leaf so i'm gonna move my own props from this prop exo into the prop area but everything that is going to my parents are gonna why do i keep saying my parents my family in california will stay in here so we can do some watering and moving at the same time the first one is this philodendron palmanii this one is actually staying with me and then i have a this is my alocasia long long galoba langelova sorry if you guys don't like pug snoring you might want to skip through this part because i just going to be honking in the background this sheath was hard to take off jeez it looks like a little nipple there's one more sheath it looks so funny it looks like a little target um so this one's staying with me as well and then i have a dean mcdowell i'm really hoping these don't oh no it died they both died my dean mcdowell please tell me i have another one in here i'm supposed to be giving a dean to lisa i think i still have one more if not i can definitely um get a cutting for a friend from a friend oh here this one was for i think this one was for lisa okay okay lisa we still got one left hasn't rooted or done anything but we're not giving up i think i need to bury this deeper let me go in there okay so yeah lisa is a long time subscriber slash follower on my instagram and she's always leaving such nice comments and stuff so um actually i'm gonna keep this with my family stuff so i don't forget um and she is on the way when i go to california so i'm planning to just stop and go visit her this one's a little bit soft i don't even know what this is look at this weird lego it looks like a poo so this one's not mushy all the way through but it's soft up at the top okay and then these skin daxes are going to my family i use a little bit of water oh this one stays here oh wait what why am i so confused oh oh oh i see okay this monster escaletto was supposed to stay with me for research and study reasons i just wanted to see sort of the growth difference between growing a plant in pond and in a tent versus soil and the one in my tent is so much bigger but my sister wants an escaletto so this one will be also going to california and then i have this philodendron ernestia i just had a brain fart i have a philodendron genienum that is also going to my family i don't know if this is going to go to my mom or my sister but they can they can figure that out no clue what this one is i think it's some kind of crawler though of sorts and then i have oh my a philadelphia what is wrong with me i have an ethereum orocleanum this one is staying with me as well and i have a philodendron myoi that is going to california i think my mom already has hers if it's still alive if not this one will go to my sister a clara nervium stump still feels firm kind of looks like it's getting a little bit moldy though it doesn't look good but i'm just gonna water it i don't even know why i have this but or where it came from i have my variegated serpents that is not pushing out any leaves oh it is oh they're so cute this one has not seen the light of day it's always been in my prop um bin so hopefully one day she'll be big enough to go join her friends in the red stuff oh i labeled it forget eye white stripes nice stem is nice and firm so let's just get that water this one's gonna go to my family if i'm not able to grab a forgetty eye for my sister before i go this is a philodendron mexicanum i think this one is going to go to my family as well ethereum mag verde this one's staying with me oh this is that skin dapsis i was working on i think these are feeder mites i don't think these are spider mites but in any case this one's staying with me as well i have a pink princess that's not doing too hot it still looks alive the stem is still firm so we're going to leave that this one is also staying with me um more skin types is going to me familia this is a stump but i think it's dying oh yeah that's toast this this is all toast that's all gotta go oh no i didn't label this crap it's this oh it's corn i don't even know which corns these are okay then is this just a thing of pond oh well it used to be a corn oh it's still firm i don't know what corn this is but it's going back in and i'm gonna add some water there are too many allocations in here what the heck oh this is that hoya croniana that i got for my mom from north shore tropicals it freaking threw a fit as soon as i took it home so that one's not doing very well but hopefully i have something to take home to my mom this is my begonia malachostica that has been rehabbing because it was looking really sad but now it's like super perked up so i actually need to move this into pond it actually took a dump from when i moved it to pond so then i took it out and then i re-rooted it in water so now i need to try again because i don't want it sitting in water this is a philodendron sp columbia that is going to go to my sister this one was actually from jing she just dropped off a bunch of like stumps and was like here see what it gives you and uh yeah i was surprised to see this one so my sister will be getting one lucky her oh no my sad milano well it's not mine i was supposed to give it to my sis sister but this thing won't freaking root for me i don't know what the deal is roots good old tree fern fiber okay let's get that guy back in there so dry though and then i have oh screw you buddy this is that stupid homologina thai splash that i could freaking care less about still oh roots ow i should probably just leave this thing the hell alone and stop fussing with it and then i've got some like random guys in here i don't know what the hell ow i don't know what this is does this look like a gloriosum to you guys i think this is a gloriosum and maybe a something mixed caneum yeah i'll just keep it cause i don't know what it is oh i forgot about my dead seedlings in there um this is a unlabeled aetherium i guess we'll see what it is once it wakes up it's in the largest freaking wendy's cup though and then this is another one of those stumps that jing dropped off for me it's got two growth points waking up i just scraped the stem a little bit to kind of like give it a little nudge like hey what's up oh sorry my husband's in a meeting so i'm going to keep that to see it through but i totally freaking forgot about all these seedlings i put in here which are now all guided they're so mushy i had too many i just had way too many it was like insane so okay getting those out of there now what i'm gonna do is just put the plants back that are going to my family just checking for thripsis is [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] okay guys so sorry i started blabbing and doing stuff and realized i wasn't even recording but um first off i figured out a solution for the potting situation here i've had this like attachment for my tripod that i've never used and it's like the perfect thing it brings the camera closer without um me needing to like lean the tripod over or have it touch my table so it doesn't shake and yeah now we're much closer uh i think i might need to angle down a little bit what if i move my i think this is the lowest my chair goes i think that's a better angle but anywho um i've got roots on these i have not i can't remember if i said this already but these are my these are my orchids that i got from the echogenera pop-up show at bandula i have never imported or acclimatized an orchid before so this is my first time if you guys watched that video you would have seen that the root system and the entire stem was gnarly it smelled so bad it was all rotted but we have roots signs of life so i'm not quite sure if i want to keep it in this substrate or if i want to move it to tree fern fiber but since it seems to be doing somewhat okay in here i think i'll leave it but i do have a lot of dead leaves that i need to sort of clean off and just make sure nothing is rotting in here now these leaves are really stuck i just don't want to break off any new roots i'm so happy to see you guys thank you for joining us okay must be very very very careful i'm gonna get poked in the eye here they are really on there they don't peel off really easily like the plants i'm used to this guy's like completely dyed i'm just gonna chop this one off this one inside here has died as well that's okay because this plant was way bigger than i ever intended i was really hoping to only bring home a small plant after that show i'm just gonna chop it off i don't wanna accidentally rip some roots off just for the sake of cleaning up this plant okay so this one is cleaned up it does not look great the stem doesn't look great but it's actually it's actually firm it's not it's not rotting it's not mushy it's just a very ugly color and it was an ugly and it was an ugly color when it came in so i'm gonna quickly do this one because i don't want that one to dry out [Music] oh my gosh i am so happy i feel legit so accomplished right now like i can't even begin to tell you guys how good this feels i'm not gonna really touch those like they're doing just fine but i am just gonna do a little cleanup so that it doesn't make me so sad to see it in the in the tent but yeah right now i just have this one on the floor of my um my tent sitting in these little trays of water and never let it go without water and wow these are beautiful i want to take a photo of it yeah let's do that okay you're back if you guys watched that video it was a very very invasive clean it was an invasive chop and i was like well it wasn't that expensive if it dies but obviously like i would i would hope it doesn't die so this mix has actually been pretty great i think the only thing i'm gonna do is the substrate is very very wet like it's definitely wicking up that water really well the the orchid bark is because these are soaked i'm wondering if i add tree from fiber what would those properties do together work yata and tree fern fiber it's a great mix i'm just unsure how i feel about it for an orchid i like that the perlite sort of um breaks apart some of the orciata and allows like airflow to pass through the vessel still i'm almost considering no drainage because it likes to just sit in a pool of water hmm my hair is bothering me i think i'm gonna try it i think i'll do like lots of coarse perlite down at the bottom and then maybe add more orchiata orchid is magical though i love this stuff okay i've got this big one that can go into here and then this smaller one that can go into this one actually i don't think this is tall enough because i'd like there to be a reservoir down at the bottom i'm going to switch this little exotica greenhouse thing oh my gosh it's already started rooting was i doing that in this video no i was doing it in my plant giftaway video if you guys watched it it's been here for like two days it's already rooted geez louise okay so let's get that back so it keeps rooting and this method seriously is like it's foolproof oh maybe i should add the water back one for this one one for this one let's work on this guy first since it has the fuzziest roots let's do this coarse pearlite down at the bottom rest in peace manicure okay that's good and then i'll get a little bit of this orciata on top and i think i'm even now going to add some no you know what i think it might be two oh no i was going to add some microzone oculus but i think i'm going to just leave it for now watch me spill this all over the place why don't i use a scoop seriously i just why do i always choose chaos ow i just got one of these new scoops from planthappens.com which is jing straw and i love it such a great little scoop [Applause] so i think this will be way easier to manage as well when i'm in california because i have to refill those little drip trays like every two days and obviously i'm not going to ask whoever is caring for my plans while i'm away to refill it every two days if anyone will even be able to watch my plans all right so feeling really good about that i can't wait till i can start seeing roots along the vessel like the edges of the vessel because yeah it's just way easier to kind of like see what's happening so then this one let's try tree fern fiber for kiana and this perlite with this [Music] so i've been hearing things for like three days but uh we'll save that for halloween [Music] so [Music] all right hopefully these two appreciate the new pants but also kind of nervous but i think i think they'll be okay next up let's do some of these smaller ones just to like get them out of the way this is one of the scalpum corms in tree frame fiber it is not soft but i am going to peel this layer of sort of like husk off so that it can root oh my gosh it almost went flying [Music] so [Music] foreign [Music] peeling back these corms have to be one of my favorite things ever ever ever it's just so satisfying just like it just peels off like skin um so yeah perfectly healthy corn under here it looks really great and now i think that this one's gonna have an easier time rooting i think that's why this growth point came out and it kind of just stopped because it's just like okay well i don't have enough strength to keep going i'm gonna need some backup here okay so let's see what this guy is doing i think i have two corns in here yeah so [Music] feels feels firm you can literally sometimes just peel them like garlic let's see if i can do it with this one oh there perfectly healthy corn as well well this one's not the greatest color but it's definitely alive my face is probably gonna look so ugly while i'm trying to concentrate peeling these back but yeah i think these guys just needed a little bit of uh assistance because the other ones didn't really have a thick layer of bark over it um so i think they should kind of wake up now all right this one looked like it rooted but it's completely dried now so we're just gonna start over feels firm and squeeze it and sort of loosen up the the outer layer and just peel sometimes it's easier to just use your finger than a scraper but i don't like when it gets stuck under my nails this one has super thick bark that flew at me oh yeah it's like peeling a walnut wait do you peel walnuts these guys are peeled and ready to go just wondering what substrate i should use now i think i have i think i've got one in moss one in pond so maybe i'll stick to tree fern fiber these three oh i have four actually this one is sad i'm just gonna chop that one off we're starting over oh that was so nice oh yeah i love when it just like peels off so easily like that unlike anything you've ever experienced okay so this is good news because what i thought were four dead scalp rooms were actually for alive scalp rooms what to root them in now i really am okay how about tree fern fiber and pond [Music] all right scalp rooms are in fingers crossed for them please let's just keep tooting along here i've got this oh gosh we're gonna try this again this is begonia maui chastica we're gonna put it in this cutie little pot and i think i'm gonna try pawn again we can do it and i don't have my mic at the table and i'm not moving so oh oh the tiniest little leaf at the bottom broke off new okay sorry these roots are just so hairline and tiny like they're just so delicate begonia roots scare the crapola out of me oh it looks so cute in this little pot so who should i think we should do wait what's today wednesday thursday i'll be at or friday i'll be at the shop thursday tomorrow i need to film another youtube video i kind of did want to get all of these repotted in this video though gosh i just don't think i have it in me truly let's just tackle this big guy because this one has been stressing me out this is a philliga philigendran philodendron gigantium this is one of nick's plants and it has needed a repot since [Music] probably last year first things first let's peel off this husk get you a little teeny bit higher i've been wanting to rip off this sheath for so long but i wanted to save it for filming [Music] that's i haven't had to untangle moss roots in forever i think i'm just going to time-lapse this whole thing because it's going to take me until tomorrow so see you thursday [Music] so [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] my arms are on fire okay so here's what's going on with the root situation it's not great but it's not terrible either i am extremely excited to clean this chunk i would be lying if i said i wasn't so that's what i'm going to focus on right now and i'm going to try and angle the camera down because i don't have what did i say i'm going to try and angle the camera down so that i don't have to hold it up while i'm cleaning because my arm literally might explode so gosh these are like demogorgon roots [Music] [Music] so [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] oh [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] so [Music] so [Music] okay [Music] [Music] so [Music] all right i think i'm gonna do pawn because it did have a bit of pawn in it before so i think i think it's gonna be okay but man this stem looks so much better guys i don't know what that was before that was probably one of the gnarliest chunks i've ever cleaned [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] did i want to use all of that pond on a plant that's not even mine no did i do it for a friend yes because i'm such a good friend oh i missed this ariel he was hiding i didn't even see him there you go buddy now find your way now all right go play with your friends okay well that was way more work than i wanted to do right now but we got it done hopefully it was all for something and it doesn't take a crap on me um shortly after this but never really not do i have it oh my gosh i'm not even gonna attempt that el choco red that is gonna be a part two of what i just did and probably even worse so i think i could handle maybe like a hoya right now how would that ahoya and then i'm calling it a day for today's tour because i am beat i haven't even watered my plants yet maybe we'll do that tonight okay maybe i'm not done done maybe after tonight's meeting when i'm feeling all stressed and puffy and puffy i can de-stress by watering some plants with no talking just a relaxing water with me let's do this massive hoya guy so that i can get it into my tent it is really hard to describe the sheer size of this hoya like look at it in comparison to the size of my hand it's unreal like what okay so let's get this into here even though this is nasty moss and this is good moss whoa there's another growth point down here it's like uncovering treasure promise i'll show you guys in a bit i know you can't see anything but these roots are the same exact color as the moss and i can't see what i'm doing it's like driving in the rain lots of roots what is this stem i don't even know what i'm looking at here it's like a tree trunk what in the world like what is this this is just like dead roots or what okay so we've got a nice little growth point right here let's oh my gosh fingers crossed i don't knock this thing off you guys know how i am especially with hoyas i'm notorious for just snapping off new hoya growth there's like little chunks of stuff i think these are like import roots like old import roots look at this like these aren't good right oh that looks brand new i don't know i can't see a stem this is wild like where's the stem it's like bark what the heck look at all this cutie live moss down here adorable it's so dense and there's like live moss in here that it's like actually healthy and there's definitely like soil in here i'm guessing from the importer because air or aaron lauren doesn't use soil to um sell or acclimate her plants i feel like that's as good as it's gonna get i really don't want to break off more than i need to good root system though like pretty solid these are unrooted these are unrooted and brand new the last time i saw them in the shop and lauren did a great job so i know i'm cut off a little bit but this vessel isn't ideal but i do want to hang this in my red stuff so i need to use a plastic vessel obviously i can't use glass oh this is so sticky [Music] [Music] so [Music] all right it's in feeling [Music] i don't know i don't know i actually don't know how i'm feeling about that repot it was very aggressive i removed a lot of what i think are dead roots but sometimes hoya roots just look nasty and disgusting but um the good news is i didn't break this growth point in this little corner this little tiny peepee so hopefully it keeps going i'm going to poke another hole down here further and reinforce it because this is quite heavy this is going to just rip there's no way it's going to hold so i've got to find a way to make it stronger and then i'm going to get it hung in the red stuff and i'll show you what it looks like in part two of my redstone video which should be going up in the next few weeks a part of me is like go to sleep like just remove your makeup go to sleep don't wake up till the sun goes down or lay in bed and watch teen mom till you fall asleep but then another part of me is like you're already here you only have three more plants to repot like you're gonna regret it actually i have four oh gosh i'm gonna do it i'm gonna do it at least i'm gonna try and do it um who do we have here to be honest this one doesn't even need to be re-potted i mean some of the root no that's moss it's already in soil um it looks like the root system is just getting going so luckily this one is good i am going to spray it with some bug spray just in case never know not that my red set is pest free or anything but um so i'll take that to the sink and handle it oh that was an easy read cut oh gosh i have to do this one now though because i uprooted it when i freaking pulled it out of the bag idiot oh these are little spider eggs i should be in rem all i want to do is lay in bed and watch videos of my new nephew oh i didn't even tell you guys okay so let me tell you um saturday after the event i was like i'm gonna go to sleep all night i'm gonna just rest rest rest then my mom well i did fall asleep i slept for like maybe what was like an hour and then i wake up and i have like a bunch of missed calls and face time calls from like every single one of my family members and i'm like oh my gosh the baby is coming i just know it so then when i talked to my sister earlier that afternoon she was like saying that her contractions were so bad and i kept telling her to go to labor and delivery i'm like dude it's like so regular like go she's like no like there's long breaks in between i bet you i'm still three centimeters dilate dilated she went to labor and delivery because the pain was so bad she was nine centimeters i was like i told you so yeah she was like in active labor and of course i couldn't just lay in bed and go to sleep i was so anxious i was just pacing around so you know i did plant stuff and i was up till like maybe one baby was born around 11 30. she didn't text us or tell us anything until about 1 1 a.m um we facetimed the baby i think was it the next day or was it that night i don't know i was up really late though and yeah he's just so freaking precious he looks so much like millie but like they look very very like different still in their own way he has this like precious little birth mark on his on his hand and we didn't know the gender the entire time they didn't either it was a surprise not that it matters but it's so like surreal to think that there's like another baby in the family i think that you guys by now if you've if you like kind of keep up with all my videos you probably know how obsessed i am with my niece i feel like she's my child so i'm just absolutely like blown away at this second kid that sometimes i look at his photos and i'm like it still doesn't like feel real yet that he's like her son and like part of our family you know it's always been millie for almost three years so it's so strange that there's now another baby in the equation and he's just such a good little baby he's been sleeping well through the night he's latching really well eating really well so i'm just really glad because um you know with millie she went through postpartum um pretty badly and i'm just kind of hoping this time around it'll be a little a little bit better for her i think you know she definitely is more prepared this time but those hormones will do things to you so i think it's great though that she has such um a good support system down there like she's got her husband's parents um my parents my sister and her boyfriend she has her best friend like she definitely has support if she needs it like if she just needs a break if she needs sleep but yeah i won't be meeting him until august which is going to be torture but uh i kind of knew that the baby was going to come early but i didn't want to go there right away like i wanted my sister to kind of settle in i didn't want her to feel like she kept having because i'm going to be staying with my mom this time since the new baby is there i think it's just going to be too chaotic if me and vince stay at her house so we'll be with my mom and you know she said she'll try and bring the kids over like as much as possible and then we can go there but like if we came too early i didn't want her to feel like overwhelmed with like having to pack the kids up go to my mom's house or like clean up the house because we were coming over you know like at least in august she'll be a little bit more settled sort of have hopefully a good routine with um his name is ansel ansel brooks hopefully they'll have a good routine by then and um it won't be too much of like i guess a disturbance to have us visiting for those however long we're gonna be visiting this one's not rooted but i think i actually might give this one to my mom so i'll let that callus over and then because this is more than enough for just me i just don't know there's like roots growing everywhere i don't really know what to do here i had mentioned when i showed this to you guys that i was considering doing sort of sort of a trailing slash climbing thing but i just don't know i don't know if that's going to be too difficult to oh that's a spider spider eggs i don't know if this one's going to be big enough i could potentially give my mom more than one cutting so that she has like a a fuller pot maybe i can give her these two and then keep this one oh this would be such a cute little trailing plant obsessed with it so i'll just kind of do or maybe i'll like do two facing sort of upward i think i could do like a trellising thing okay how about let's just try it so i've got oh my gosh i only have one more clear trellis okay this pot is probably pushing it a little bit but now to figure out which one should climb so this one looks like a good one to trail like that over the pot and so does this one maybe we can like overlap it something like this it looks stupid yeah and then these two can be trellised i think okay so let's get this in and stick my trellis in and then i want one of them to crawl upward i think as well as this one i have no idea what it looks like from the front it looks crazy it's looking a little bit wild but wild is good sometimes okay i have a vision sometimes i feel like i have a lot of great ideas and then i like do it and i'm like oh what happened there i at least have to get it out of my system or else i can't sleep okay so that is pretty in there so now i just gotta figure out where you can't even see anything on the screen i'm still really far away um let's do this one and this one together like this i'm trying to use the least amount of clips for this and then this one can go here [Music] these two somehow have to be clipped together did i do it kind of i mean it's not like clipped all the way but it's still holding on to it guys that actually looks so cute this like half trellised half hanging i'm sort of into it i might have done something there i'm into it i like it i like it i like it a lot good work i i high-fived myself stop dripping freak did you gave me two of these philadelphs i'm not sure if this was like for my mom oh it's variegated well that's interesting i don't even know if she noticed that any of these very good came from the same plant all right well i think if this was not an accident i will be giving this to my mom so i'll leave it in this little cup and then this one i actually don't even think this is rooted i believe she just cut this oh it's starting to root okay cool um but what do i want to grow this in long term definitely not moss oh the roots are so cute oh that's a spider spider spider you see it no i don't want it to crawl on me do you see it crawling around where is it oh it's right there okay i have to trap him ah oh god should i put him in my i'm gonna go put him in my exo because he can be helpful but how am i gonna grab him oh where'd he go oh there you are buddy nope come up here good job buddy you guys probably can't see it oh it's so cute it has a red little belly i don't know what kind of spider that is i just don't want spiders that will bite me and give me itchy scars but i could put it in my exo so i'm gonna go do that we don't have any other guests we can continue on um i think i want to do pond for this one as well just get something nice to put it in i guess this is probably my ugliest vessel that i have but i'm planning to just put this on my shelf anyway so i'll just tuck it in the back no one will know i also see a plant in my exo that needs my help desperately [Music] that was pretty easy besides the little spider situation hey we have a major problem it's all of these damn plants and moss okay let's see how bad the damage is because this is one that i really really wanted to save this year no the more time goes on the more i just hate moss even more and more like truly it's just been nothing but a headache for me in the last several months you gotta start over again on this one these roots are just dried the hell out oh gosh even this stem i don't want to lose this plant this is my fillet engine ezreal dense narrow so if you're wondering how that's going it's just it's tough to oh god i don't think all hope is lost in the stem but we've got to start this root system over again so dead and gone damn it it was doing so well it was starting to size up and i think i just showed this in a video and then i took it out of my tent and i stuck it in my exo and i just i guess i forgot about it i'm gonna stick this in water overnight and just see what happens but it's not looking it's not looking it's not looking good we were doing so well like the leaves were getting a lot bigger like this leaf right here was the biggest one i ever had back into water this goes stat oh my gosh it is a huge mess here i'm stressed i'm stressed okay this guy is in this too and before i lose this one as well oh no my goal over the next two weeks is to get all of my moss plants out of moss i don't want to see any freaking moss plants anywhere unless it's in a provin this is a sign that i have too many plants because i can't keep up with watering i'm telling you most of the plants that die in my care from whatever reason but when you're talking about like root rot or just dead roots it's because i forget to water this root system sucks too didn't suck when i got it from lauren it's just because i freaking let it dry out so fast this one was also in my exo it was living in super high humidity it was not drying out as fast as it did once i took it out but sometimes i forget that there are no doors on my exo so that xo is not as humid as i am used to it being so it's kind of like an unconscious thing where i'm like oh it's in the greenhouse like once a week waterings we'll be fine but no it's like so hot in here everything dries out it's like a desert i'm just gonna chop off some roots off camera really quick guys it's such a mess okay it's not great it's not great at all but i'm gonna try pawn and tree for the fiber with this one i think i have a mix of tree from fiber pawn and orciata [Music] now i'm just like in panic mode this is not what i had planned for today but plants always keep you on your toes don't they all right oh geez louise i'm just gonna make sure nobody else is like dying on me in that exo i'm somewhere behind here i still have to replot my el choco red but things are getting too crazy here and i'll show you in a little bit um i think if i have time still in this week of plant to do's either tomorrow or friday or if i keep filming till saturday which is kind of unlikely then we will repot the el choco red if not i'll probably just do that off camera or um in a repot in chat but i think just for today i'm going to time lapse the rest put the camera aside get everything cleaned up and then i'm going to go to sleep [Music] do [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] do [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] do [Music] so [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] hello it's friday um obviously i took yesterday off because i was a lazy piece of but um i'm here with my good friend alice and we are gonna go to uh lauren's at north shore today to help her clean the hurricane that went through her um her shop so she brought a bunch of plants from her greenhouse into the shop and now everything is a disaster and she has to reopen on saturday so tomorrow yeah oh okay so um alice is gonna be filming like a overhaul of the shop i'll tell you the plan in a little bit so alice is gonna show you sort of the before after like the process of getting it cleaned and then today i'll just show you some highlights from the shop like some new plants that she got in some plants that i'm like eyeing or whatever and then we're gonna end this week of because it is three hours long already it's three hours long why do you do that i don't know how do you have so many chores because i don't have a life and too many plants so anyway we're gonna go to the store to buy a bunch of cleaning supplies which i'm so excited about um and then we're gonna go get coffee and then we'll be at north shore and then we'll do all the things and then i'm going to end this week of because it is too freaking [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] my [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] so [Music] do [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh they're so cute i wish i had duck food it smells like though hi duckies do they attack nope good morning happy sunday i am so tired this video has just taken everything out of me i know it's three hours long because i've been editing as i film so it's pretty much almost done i just need to add the footage that i'm filming right now and yeah we're right right at the three hour mark i wasn't trying i promise you i really wasn't trying the idea of having a three hour video was a little bit appealing to me but i was not trying to do it so soon after publishing a two hour and 50 minute long video sorry guys i got my eye on the river today it's supposed to flood we had to move our cars out of the arcade because they said water was gonna come in or something i don't know and it's pouring right now so i'm like i'm beat i'm so tired um my body is so sore from cleaning on friday and like i have bruises all over my legs my chest is sore my armpits are sore i think from all the like scrubbing and just i'm so out of shape but anyway let's end this freaking video i'm just going to show you guys some of the things that i got from lauren and yeah it was a pretty pretty great haul so uh there's one two three four five six seven eight nine there are nine plants i feel like i'm missing like two of them but i can't i can't remember right now so let's start with the small hoyas the first toya is this hoya fungi eye and this was the hoya that lauren has been trying to get me to get for the longest time every time i see her she's like do you have a hoya fungi yet do you want to grab a hoya fungi eye you need to get ahoy fungi eye so i finally got a hoya funky eye i'm not really sure what changed in me this time but these leaves are just so freaking dark and i love the slight speckling um she said that it was sort of starting to resemble a carnosa but like look at how dark these leaves are it's incredible she had a bunch at the shop there were so many cute ones she still has a lot more and i was like let's just do it so this guy is going to be crawling up the wall in my hoya cabinet and i'm just really excited it's got two new leaves coming can't take credit for this because they were already emerging when i purchased it but yeah this one is really really fun the second hoya that i got i am slightly just fell off the table i am slightly more excited for this next one that i'm going to show you and it is a hoya finlay sony eye i have actually had my eye on this plant for a very long time i've seen them at her shop i've seen him at her greenhouse and all the leaves looked like this and the reason that i chose to not get it was because i felt like what this plant was giving was very close to what my hoya callisto hoya callistophylla is giving i have to answer this it's my niece's birthday you got all of us okay i'm just gonna mute them so um or not meet them i'm gonna turn the volume down and then i'm gonna talk to them so anyway i felt like these leaves were giving very hoya callistophilla and i love my hoya callistophila i felt like it looked so similar that i didn't really need another one but then like all of the new leaves on them at the shop were pushing out these leaves and i'm like okay this looks nothing like my hoya callistophylla and i feel like the only difference was that she's been growing them in much darker conditions like they're not getting as much light so i think that i'm going to keep this one at the very bottom of my red set and not let it get a ton of light because i love this like whereas on these leaves the leaf is very green it's like the same color as my hoya calista fila and then you can see all this dark venation come through right and there is this slight speckling but on this one you can see it has the dark venation but because the leaf is as dark as the venation it's like invisible and you can just see sort of how sunken in it is and then the speckling on this like the variegation on this it's like this light silvery green and it is just incredible i was like okay sold need this one thank you very much load it up and yeah just so so happy to have this one so i'm hoping that the new leaves that come out on this look more like this rather than like this because although this is beautiful this is this is what i'm sold on so hoya finlay sony i don't sleep on these i'm going to talk to my family now because like i said it's my niece's birthday she's three today and i just yeah gotta give her some attention and she's eating right now so um i will be right back had a little cry i can't believe my little baby girl is three already okay moving on so the next one i'm very very excited about this one was a wishlist alocasia i don't know if i've ever talked about it on my channel before but it is an alocasia bisma i love you [Music] guys i have been after this thing for so long there's another alocasia i think it's called a alocasia heterophylla or something like that something hetero i think and it looks very similar to the bisma except i think it's more narrow and has like a super pointy evil looking leaf but the bisma is way more attainable in my from my knowledge and i knew that lauren had her personal plan it's not this one she was offering me her personal plan she said to take this one and the other one but i made an executive decision i left it where it was because one i don't need two two i think she would regret it three i don't have space but i opted to get the smaller one and i it's just it's everything that i knew it would be and more i love this leaf shape oh it's a little dusty i love this leaf shape i love the color it's this very sort of like what color green green is this it's like like a dark sea foam green and then it's got this really sunken in dark um venation that goes all the way to the edge of the leaf margins it's got this really really deep dark sinus and then on the abaxios it has this like reddish dark is it red yeah it's like a dark red um like leaf margin and it just goes around the entire thing it's unreal it looks fake it looks like this looks photoshop look that looks like it's photoshop doesn't look real um and i even really love on the more juvenile leaves how like the sinus doesn't fully develop and it's just like this funny looking bunny ear thing but honestly i just please i hope that i can keep this happy why is my hand i really hope i can keep this happy because this is one that i've really loved so much i just never really had it in my budget for when they first started to come out and yeah i'm just really glad that i finally got my hands on one i am hoping that there are some corms in here i would love love love to grow this from corm but i think what i want to start doing with some of my allocations is just potting them in one pot so that it looks like really big and bushy so since this is just one stem it would be really nice if i could have some corms grow them and then pot them in the same pot so that it's like nice and big and full but yeah i'm so happy to have this one thank you so much lauren it's literally everything look at that like matte pillowy texture of it like it's unreal it's truly unreal i love it so much so yeah this is the only allocation that i got but it was man it was a great one um this next one i purchased and this was one of the leftover plants from the tropicals plant show equiflora show and guys when i tell you i am in love i am in love i did not actually know this plant existed i have never seen one before i don't think but i saw it in the back of a box and i was like this is apparently a philodendron esmeral dense af what in the hell is this it is so freaking beautiful like it's everything that i love in a philodendron like and it's so dark it's like hard to capture like the color of it it's so so dark i haven't taken it out i haven't taken it out of here yet i need to do it today my gosh i'm filming like three videos today um because i wanted to repot it on camera and just kind of show you what the root system looks like it's got another new leaf coming it looks like it's going to be pretty sizable so i want to get this one on a pull asap this is not one that i'm going to slack on i want to keep the growth going i think the stem is long enough to chop if i can chop it because this is one that i would really love to share with um alice i think that she would enjoy this one so yeah i i can't express i actually have not been this excited about an import in a really really really long time i think the last time that i was this excited about a new plant was when i got my gloriosum my uh it's actually up up there now on top of the oh no it's not it's in my bedroom i yeah since i got like my round form gloriosum white vein whatever it is whatever i don't know it doesn't identify as any kind of gloriosum it's just it is what it wants to be but yeah i have not been that excited since um since then but gosh fingers crossed this one does not take a dump on me because it is a new import it's been sitting in here since last saturday it came in a box it's been it's just it's gone through a lot some stress um i did remove two of the leaves down at the bottom because they were just completely like brown and just shriveled but these look pretty okay kind of hoping that there are some roots that i can work with i can already see this one right here that's gonna give me like a good head start as long as it's not rotted like on the part that i can't see but yeah this one is so so exciting and i'm so glad that no one grabbed this at the show there was another one it was much bigger than this but i'm just trying to be mindful with my space because i do plan on acclimatizing this in my tent so i just knew that i wouldn't be able to fit the larger one in the tent but the one that was left over at the shop the leaf was like this but maybe like it like went up to here so the leaf was much bigger and yeah i was a great specimen i think that one's gonna sell really fast so if you're watching this video and lauren still maybe has that plant at her shop um ask her about it because it's it is everything it is everything i think i even like this more than the i think i even like this more than the esmeralds incredible okay the next few plants that i'm gonna show you i'm gonna just record it with my iphone so that i don't need to like move my camera around but she had an excess of crystal mag from the greenhouse and she doesn't have enough space so she literally was like take them and i would have taken them all because i don't want to see any of them suffer or be neglected because she just has so much to do she has so many plants she needs to care for that came from the greenhouse but the reality of it is i don't have enough space and i'm not gonna just take them home to watch them die here so yeah i couldn't grab all of them i really wanted to though because i love crystal mags it's one of my favorite aetheriums and i did grab four five of them i think i grabbed five i thought i grabbed six but i guess i only grabbed five so i'm just gonna take my iphone and just show them to you guys so in this corner i have four of the crystals um they're just sitting in this little stand thing that i always get questions about i cut one of my drip trays um or my my uh what is that propagation dome trays to fit it perfectly so yeah i was actually originally going to pot them all together in like a rectangular planter and then put them up there but then i think that it would just be such a pain to water i feel like i would have forgotten about them and also the idea of trying to repot a plant that has like five six plants in it just kind of gives me the ick so yeah i decided to just do this for now i think eventually i'll get them re-potted and put them in pots that will actually fit in this little thing but i kind of like them here it's nice to just sit on the couch and just see a little wall of crystal but um yeah they all look they all look pretty different this one is a brand new leaf it's got the cutest little sinus and it's still a bit floppy it's still hardening off but it looks like it's going to be a good size this one is i think this was the biggest one that i grabbed and she did cut off a lot of the leaves so that they were one leaf cutting so that they could fit in the truck easier fit in the shop better so all of these have had their leaves chopped off so they're all just one leaf plants the last one that i grabbed is also a crystal mag but this one has very like silvery venation it's like almost like bleeding into the leaf but yeah just it is a crystal mag farm in here don't mind it looks like a hot freaking mess in this corner i was doing stuff last night and uh didn't finish those are the plants um i originally was going to film like a lot more of the shop i was gonna do like highlights of the shop new plants that came in and stuff like that but honestly there was a lot of pressure to get the shop in um a shoppable place by the next day so i ended up just not filming at all really besides what i showed you guys and i really only filmed some parts of us putting the shop together i was so tired i'm so sore we were done by the end of the day we were like we're not vlogging i don't want to see a camera we're done and on saturday i just i was in bed like all day i didn't do anything well i felt i edited a little bit but my body was just aching i was just mentally and physically drained so yeah spent a lot of time in bed which is why i'm filming this today but uh yeah overall it was a great time the shop looks really good we are going to try and make it sort of a regular thing maybe like every month we'll go to the shop and do like little projects and we want to help her get sort of the back area like really neat and tidy because they don't really have time to do that kind of thing on a day-to-day basis it's like you know the just the things that they have to do in the shop are way more important than just making sure that it looks neat and tidy but you know alice and i are kind of neurotic that way and um lauren's like hey come over whenever you want so um yeah hopefully we've got some good stuff coming up at north shore um i really love filming there i love showing you guys the plants if you guys didn't know i was a visual merchandiser for like 10 years and it was like it was so much fun and yeah i missed it a lot there's so many things that i loved about that job i felt like i was really good at it even though a lot of my bosses didn't like me um but yeah it was a it was a definitely it was definitely an interesting experience this time because it was with plants whereas before i was only working with clothing in a lot of ways it was a different sort of not learning curve but it was just a lot different than what i was used to in my old career but because i do it like all the time here it felt really natural to me i think just um i always have it in my head that like i merchandise or i style plants the way that i like and that i feel is good for revenue good for sales um good for foot traffic you know when you're shopping stuff it kind of all has to make sense but uh you know lauren's got her own sort of idea of what she wants her shop to look like and there's that pressure of like is she not gonna like this like is she gonna hate this so i was a little bit in my head but i was also kind of in my element too so just filming just did not it did not seem appealing to me i was like i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do it well and yeah i think it turned out great hopefully she liked it if you guys go visit the shop let me know how you guys like it too um but anyway i'm gonna get out of here this video is now how long have i been recording for oh my gosh i've been recording for like half an hour so anyway i'm gonna go thank you guys so much if you made it through this three three and a half hour long video if you guys watch the whole thing in its entirety please comment that below so that i can personally thank you i know that a lot of you guys watch these really long videos in like pieces over a few days which i totally get and so with that said because i've filmed a two almost three hour video last month and now a three hour video this month i am going to be taking at least one wednesday off i might even take two wednesdays off just because the editing part it's so fun for me but it really takes everything out of me so i might need to take a little bit of a break but i've i have some really good stuff coming up for you guys and i've been prepping a lot
