Welcome plant friend, I'm Kristina. 😊🌿 You'll find plant care, propagation, styling & shopping tips as well as my experiences on my journy of becoming a plantfluencer here on this channel. I collect houseplants obsessively since 2018 & live in Germany in a plant filled, small 60m² appartment together with my fiancé.
If you have any video ideas or content that you would like to see here on youtube, feel free to leave them in the community tab or in the comments of any video. I read each & every one of them :)
This video inspired me to rescue my neighbour’s monstera as a fun experiment. It had dropped all its leaves due to neglect and wasn’t in the best state. I brought it home, cut up the stems for wet stick props and repotted the remaining bare stem in a smaller pot. Thank you so much for such a fun and amazing video!! Wish me luck with my rescue🧿🪴
Great job on the win Kristina! But I really want to know, what happened when the monstera outgrew the wood? Did you cut it back? I also just want to know in case I try doing something like this. But once again, great job and plant!
Das ist und bleibt eine BORSIGIANA! Es gibt keine kleine und große Deliciosa. Aber das nur nebenbei. Meine Pfähle fülle ich inzwischen mit Soil aus grober und feiner Rinde aber statt Perlite, mix ich Sphagnum mit rein. Ist wesentlich günstiger, wird von den Pflanzen gut angenommen und sieht auch noch gut aus.
I just took a 2m PVC pipe for my last one, wrapped it in burlap and called it a day. I don't water it or anything, and my Golden Pothos takes it quite well. It's almost reached the top and the topmost leaves are about 25ish cm long. Will try 3d printing one now, though. I'm thinking of combining the 3d print with a thinner pvc pipe inside, mainly for stability, because I want it to reach 2m again as well. Not entirely sure what to fill it with yet. Not a fan of sphagnum moss. Maybe something non-organic might work, such as pumice or expanded clay. I want it to be able to hold some moisture but I don't want it to be able to rot, if that makes sense.
You won the plant competition, but you also win hearts with your fantastic storytelling. You really captured your great efforts. This was so nicely presented.
What a great way to colaborate on youtube. Looks like so much fun! Congrats on your win, you have a wonderful presentation. I hope you update us on how it looks now. And congrats on all the participants.
Hello kristina❤❤. Can you tell me please do you use compost in your soil mix? I find everything what you use in your mix, but I could not find worm castings. Can I use compost of this?
Hi Diana, I don't, but I don't see anything wrong with using compost. It's just a way of prefertilizing the soil a little. Use what you have, sometimes I also add those osmocote long term fertilizer pearls.
The soltech lights really are incredible. The price is worth it if you’ve got demanding plants. To build the same light output by buying leds and connecting them to a heat sink and driver is actually not all that much cheaper. And it would look like garbage without a lot of work. I’d do a DIY light for a grow tent, but certainly not my living room.
That's a good point Steve. I Agree, you put it quite well. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I also started out with cheap led bars from the hardwearstore because I wanted to save money, back in the day. I've tried lots of Amazon lighting and It's definetly not all bad, but most of it isn't pretty or very functional at all.
id love to sell plants but i just dont see how clones of plants that you can get at the grocery down the street are going to interest anyone. and if im going to buy some rare plant online i feel like potential customers would just also go and buy that plant online. i just made about 10 wandering jew clones but i cant see why anyone woild want them when you can get a much bigger plant at any store for like 5 bucks.
Ohhh nooo I feel your pain. I have this Monstera that I got off Marketplace. It was growing huge leaves and my cat knocked the pot over onto the plant. Most of the leaves died. I literally was in tears.
Today I harvested some Queen of hearts x (besseae x BVEP) seeds from the dying inflo, 21 total which is fairly high for QOH lol I'm super excited and thank you for the video!
I like this video. I have an Albo, watching and came across this. But just put the blue I also the strong accent, almost like Swedish/Danish/Finnish/Norwegian. Then the pronunciations also have strong Sanskrit/Hindu or German influences. Please enlighten me lol.
