The best way to not be a helicopter plant parent is to get so many plants that you can’t be hyper focused on them all 😋

I find a good way of using that helicopter energy is to dust the leaves with a little brush. (like an old makeup brush or soft paintbrush) It satisfies that fussy urge but without actually fussing with anything too hard.

Such an interesting concept to think about plants having their own separate 'lives'! And always good to be reminded that they are living things and will not always bend to our will. Really enjoying the vlogging content mixed in btw :)

I’m in Australia and so opposite seasons to you. And like USA, we have all sorts of climactic conditions throughout the country, from alpine to tropical. My particular house was built to be a holiday house near the coast, and is on a hill. So it’s freezing (for us) in winter as there is next to know insulation. Yet my plants seem fine because it faces north and has so many huge windows, so it has great light! Anyways, I agree with your tips.
@BeccaDeLaPlants
@BeccaDeLaPlants 4 года назад

Gotta love that you are telling people to stop hovering over their plants, as you are standing in front of a dying looking plant on the shelf behind you. I'm totally guilty of being a helicopter plant person, which was bad in the early years, but after decades of taking care of plants, and only killing 3 plants, I'm totally cool with being a helicopter plant parent . I love your videos and how you keep it real , unlike so many others.

So for the longest time... i WORRIED SO SO MUCH about my plants. For example, if a leaf turned yellow, or i would see so much as a spot on a leaf, or if i saw browning tips, or even edges, i would dramatically change the way i'd water, id even go as far as thinking it had a viral disease, or i would completely change its substrate, i'd drench it in antibacterial soap, or insecticide thinking it had some type of pests... and ... i stopped because it gave me so much ANXIETY, and i wasn't having fun having plants. and thats not what i wanted. i love plants, and i want to enjoy them because they have the ability of outliving us, and thats fascinating to me. so I stopped worrying i stopped over analyzing everything, and i stopped inspecting them every single day, because plants are plants, and theyre going to do whatever they want, no matter what, theyre on their own vibe, and we just have to accept it. Thankfully a lot of my plants that literally took a beating from their over worried plant parent are alive and thriving lol and they're much happier now that i enjoy them from afar, and only water when they're dry.
@BeccaDeLaPlants
@BeccaDeLaPlants 4 года назад
I definitely agree with you on it becoming stressful and not fun. That’s a big reason I just kind of let things go if it seems they’re going south 😂 it’s a much easier perspective!

facebook purges are so risky because you have to buy quickly, before you may have even looked up the seller’s reviews. i just had a not great experience because of that, so other people: definitely please learn from my mistakes!!

Great video Becca, awesome advice. I think when I first got into plants I tended to hover a little bit, but then I realized that not all of my plants are going to be perfect, and things happen, and I can only do the best I can for my plants. i totally agree with #2, I will listen to the things that are said about lighting and water and such but I do live in Idaho and we have 9 months of colder weather, and my south window could be different from your south window, I just have to find the lighting that my plants like and go with that. I have never taken any advice too seriously, because what works for you may not work for me. And #3, when I first started buying plants I did buy a whole bunch, and luckily I only lost maybe three, but I learned from those plants and will more than likely repurchase them, and when I say I bought a lot of plants, I bought with in 6 months about 80 plants, it was excessive, but they were so beautiful, and some I had grown before, and did have experience with those particular ones. Now I am to the point where I am looking for my wish list plants and I have taken a step back and have been enjoying all of the plants I have now, and since it is winter where I live it is too cold to buy plants online, so I will be patient and wait for warmer weather, and buy from the vendors that I have bought from before and trust. Thank you so much Becca, this was a really good video, I hope everyone loves it as much as I do, being a plant parent is a learning experience and not everyone's experience is the same, I have just found that having and growing plants has given me so much joy, and for me it is an everyday thing, lol. I hope that you have a wonderful day and I will see you soon, love you, bye for now.

Really good informative video!! Love the sweater!! New to ordering plants on line, for most part been disappointing. Bought one Hoya I told person it was cold, they said you don’t need heat pack. Plant about froze, so ordered it again it came an it has black spot. 😞Not sure what to do? Smh
@blakea.e.1681
@blakea.e.1681 4 года назад

@sherryporsch9349 4 года назад
Blake A. E. It’s just not black spots. They start out small an enlarge as leaf turns yellow an falls off. None of my other Hoyas has any spots, I’m afraid it’s gonna spread even though I’ve treated it.
