Plants That Have Died | PLANT FUNERAL PART 2 

as plant lovers we often gloss over the fact that plants die sometimes and that's alright!! thank you for touching on the topic💕💓

"I went on vacation and it died" is totally the theme of this video 😂

i used to get soooo upset over losing plants in the beginning of my plant journey, but have learnt recently to be more relaxed about it. now if a couple simple adjustments don't fix the issue i just give up haha it's not worth the stress!

I lost my andansonii, that I bought online, to mealy bugs in 2019. Luckily, I thoughtfully propagated it as soon as I got it. Now atleast I have the propagations left. Protip - Always propagate your plant if it's rare and if you are sure you are going to kill it! It is less likely that you will kill two plants! 😂 Aww, cute Leo! 💞

I did the "throw away the plant before the plant is actually dead" thing to all of my ferns. They were literally the bane of my existence and I needed more pots 🤷‍♀️

Hi becca! I've been binge watching your vids for the last couple of days. I just love your personality. You seem so sweet and so charming. Please don't ever stop uploading content ❤️

i am so glad i am not the only one who tosses a plant when they can no longer bear to watch it shriveling up and die!! leaving most of them at school for almost an entire month for winter break stressed me out so bad but they have all made it safely to the other side!!! love you, your energy, and your videos so so much!

R.I.P. plants I love these videos because it shows others that this hobby is perfect and we just have to learn from mistakes 💚🌿

That really did make me feel better about plant deaths. So funny, I’ve gardened outside for 28 years. Things die all the time in my perennial beds, but I get SO much more invested in the indoor ones.

I’ve been wondering about that alocasia... RIP. I went on my honeymoon this year and my plant sitter FORGOT to stop by and water my plants. Thankfully the damage could have been a lot worse, but I did lose quite a few

I just give my unwanted plants to my mother in law😂

I lost my zebra plant when I went on vacation also. It must of been jealous of something! But, that one is on my "never buy again" list. Thanks for sharing Becca!

Thanks for posting this! Makes me feel a little less bad for also having plants die on my care.

Wow, thank you for this video! it always devastated me when my plants die on me especially those ones that i've ordered online and waited and tried so hard to care for to acclimate... it's nice to see other people's plants die too and to be reminded it's not the end of the world. Love your channel

Some of my plants died when I went on vacation. I kinda grew to accept the fact that death is inevitable among my plants.

Thank you so much for making this video! I felt really sad because a bunch of my plants died in a short amount of time this year and I really didn't know what was wrong despite previously thinking I knew quite a lot about houseplants... so it feels really good to be reminded that it happens all the time to a lot of people! Lots of love from Germany :)

You have my deepest sympathies and I am sending all of my healing thoughts and prayers. :) It is helpful and encouraging to see others who are experienced plant caretakers still kill plants...thanks for your honesty :) Happy new year!!

Wow this actually made me feel better. 99% of my plant deaths occurred because I went on vacation. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I couldn’t help but watch Leo the first half of the video. 🤣😂

Thankyou for making these videos! It makes me feel better about the plants that I’ve killed. No one perfect. This is my first winter season for my plants. I pray they’ll survive till spring!

nobody: my parents: 2:07 😂😂

Thanks for sharing Becca! Its great to know that it does happen to all of us. We've been missing you while you are on vacay! I hope your Holidays were wonderful!!! Happy New Year!!

I’m binge watching through all of your videos and this one hit me. I lost a few plants over winter bc they weren’t pushing out new growth so I stopped watering a lot of them but luckily my favorites all made it. I think I lost like 4

Thanks for mourning with us! Happy new year to you

I'm so glad you made this video! I think it is important to show that all plant people are plant killers, and the best way to learn is to keep going!

Every day is a school day as a plant parent! Leo looking so cute and fluffy after his spa day..

I did a similar video for Halloween. I was assessing my plant losses last week and realized how many deaths I've had in the past 2 months alone 😱 I'm trying to see it all as learning opportunity. Plus it's helping me cull the heard/decide what is worthwhile and what I secretly never liked.

It’s good to know that sometimes plants just die, and it’s not something we can necessarily control. I can’t, for the love of me, keep spider plants alive. They thrive for a while-even managed to hard prune and regrow-only for every single one to die. I’ve got another spider plant now so I’m hoping it’s going to survive for me. Love your videos 💚🌱

I have 2 golden barrel cacti that were given to me. I loved them when I got them because I was young, but several years later I realize how both are very deformed and aren’t too cute. I don’t want kill them or throw them away because they are healthy but I can’t give them away because no one wants them. It’s tough.

I remember when you got that variegated alocasia. I went to the same Lowe’s and got the last one... guess what? Mines is a goner as well. I went home to nyc for a week and came back to a full blown measley bug outbreak that nearly erradicated everything in the area I had it 😩😩😩 don’t worry if I ever find it again I’ll def send you one!!!

i have lost sooooo many plants for no reason at all. ive also lost some because i was gone on vacation, which includes a verigated alocasia and alot of calathea. its a sad time, and when u think of how much money is lost its even more sad. 😭

Adansonii are one of those plants that you have to learn their needs, then they are easy. Mine I use a moisture meter and only water when dry. They also need plenty of light, a light airy potting mix and you are all set. Without a moisture meter, they can be tricky to water. An older leaf will yellow when they are making new ones, but too many yellow leaves usually mean over-watering. Mine also doesn't like my tap water AT ALL.

I'm thinking maybe you could look at the roots when you see it's dying, and maybe repot it? There might be rootrot? One of my plants died once cause my cat decided to pee on it too LOL so sometimes the soil is the issue!

"We're traveling for Christmas this year." *laughs in the future*

I also lost an allocasia, monster adansoni this year. It’s nice to hear you also let plants die when you fall out of love.

Thanks for sharing! Was going to share my plants that died too since I’m sure a lot of people can relate. Rip plants.

I often watch your videos when I'm not logged in, but I'm definitely subscribed. I only logged in now to tell you how handsome and clean Leo looks at the end there. I love watching his sniffy shenanigans. But since I'm here....plant rant. Sometimes the individual plant is just difficult and I must admit I have never really liked my rootbound Phil xanadu. I repotted it, but still don't like it. Maybe I should put it on the patio. Maybe I should give it away. However, I have also learnt not to get too upset when they die. It is kind of a relief and if they are not happy in my home, then I will cherish the plants that are. I have also killed a lot this year with the change of seasons and not understanding the optimal water/light requirements before it's too late or buying a 'rescue plant' (not worth it) or mysterious ailments (browning tips that spread until the leaf softens falls off). Thank God for Golden Pothos. My worst fear is to get some kind of pest infestation like thrips. Also, don't wanna move now you said that.

I Absolutely Love this Channel. So glad you and Harli did that thrifting video. I did subscribe after watching that video. Happy New Year!

I just had to bury a Norfolk pine. I've had it for a year and I thought this winter dryness was taking its toll. I later realized I was watering a dead plant for like a month. Lol!

I had a Boston fern that I had been struggling to keep alive for 6 months. I was so sad but honestly relieved when it died 😭

I remember the plant shelf fail. That was tragic.

This is very embarrassing but I need to get it out of my chest : on my first online purchase, I saw that there were a couple of options for the shipping. Of course, I - wanting to save money - picked the cheapest one, which arrives in 2-4 days. I ordered an Oxalis Triangularis, a Philodendron Brazil, and a Peace Lilly. I thought they were going to pack them in their pots, in a big box. I've never watched unpacking plants videos, so I did not know that soilles packaging was even possible. I was shocked to see that they arrived in a long flat box. They all arrived in a sad condition. Long story short, all of them died after a couple of days, except for the Philodendron Brazil. That happened probably around 2 years ago, and the Philodendron Brazil is still alive and thriving today 😌❤️ Thanks for listening to my story, have a great day! 😂🌻

Lol! I need to do a plants I've killed in 2019 video too! Plenty of content for that. Haha

When I was in highschool- twas a windy day during our algebra test. All of a sudden my teacher gasped and when we looked, her plant was falling out of the window. She gave me and a friend extra credit bc we went all the way to the front of the building (from the 3rd floor) to save the plant lol. #emergencyplantrescue

I've killed a zz plant. A ZZ PLANT. That thing is half plastic half living but I got it when I was new to plant care. It was a learning experience 😭

I just killed my Jade plant. My biggest issue is the correct planter per plant needs 💔. Soo happy I'm not the only one

I'm about to film one of these too. It's nice to know we're not alone in our losses! Haha. Leo is so cute! 💚

I currently have a schefflera which is swiftly going downhill for literally no reason... I got a horrendous case of spider mites and lost a really stunning prayer plant and I was so sad

New subscriber. So true, sometimes plant love just does not last. LOL. Great content 🥰

I moved sept 2019 and I have had a lot of plants die. I totally know how you feel. Most of them were already struggling some of them just could not make it through such a huge change even though my new house is way more lit up than the last.

Leo!!! I wondered what happened to the variegated alocasia. Beautiful plant but I find all alocasias very difficult in the winter. Like you said . . . spider mites. I treat mine with a flea bomb. It's a drastic measure, but it seems to be the only thing to keep them at bay. I have killed plenty as well. It sucks but I always learn something from it. Thanks for inviting us to your funeral.

'If you like this content and want to see more...' yeah can't wait to see more funerals haha

i think that all of us planty people have had failures, but it's ok, live and learn. I think that the houseplant frenzy of 2019 has come to an end, and I bet the greenhouses that shipped all of the plants are having the last laugh.

It's comforting to see I'm not the only one that's killed a bunch of plants. It took me 3 calathea deaths to accept I shouldn't own calatheas 😢

This video helped me so much. I sometimes feel as if I am the only plant killer.

I had a big, beautiful peperomia polybotrya that I did so many things wrong with before I put it on my patio, which is also how I try to fix dying plants lol 🙋🏼‍♀️ I propagated a leaf, and the next week it had thrips. It was the slowest plant death I have ever had in my home, and it was awful to watch. I should have just thrown it away, it was not good for my sanity 😂 the propagation is doing awesome and actually turned into a few small plants, which are so happy and growing so quickly!

Good thing you can find fittonia's easy at big box stores! At least you can here in Missouri, they're everywhere.

Hi Becca, I'm trying to catch up on all of my videos, life got crazy busy and I have missed my plant tubers. I would love to get a Monstera Adansonii, it is on my wish list, and either the long version or the wide leaf version, I just would love one. I have a fittonia and just recently added to it to make a fuller plant and so far it's doing okay, I love this plant and it may not be the most beautiful but it is still a pretty plant and I love her. I refuse to buy anymore ivy's because they start out so great then they go downhill and end up with spidermites and that just creeps me out so no more Ivy's for this gal. You have nothing to be ashamed of, sad like the rest of us that have lost plants, but I have killed my share of plants over the years, I had a very large string of hearts that died, a ponytail palm, a velvet Calathea, and many Ivy's. But over the years I have learned so much about watering and repotting, and a lot of it I have learned from my plant Tubers with the tips and tricks and just the great videos that you and a lot of others have put out. Thank you as always I just really appreciate the content you give us and look forward to each and every video. Have a great day and I will see you soon, especially since I am binge watching the videos I have missed, Love you, hugs and bye for now.

Any tips or tricks for taking care of the plant that is directly above your head? Mine keeps turning yellow! I don’t think I’m over watering. I even bought a meter for the plant and it says the soil is dry. HELP ME PLEASE 😅

I just hope there's someone who talk about me, the way you talk about your dead plant

So sorry. I have a fittonia which I almost killed due to lack of water when I was away for a few days. I cut it back, propagated in water. I repotted cuttings and so far so good. Very thirsty plant. My 3 marantas are dying a slow death no matter what I do.

I killed 3 plants in December because I left them on my patio and we had an "artic freeze" in Texas. I've been actually sad about it because they were all thriving prior. Then to top it off my succulents got attacked by mealybugs bugs so I used the "soap and water method"...which was a huge mistake because they immediately died too😭

My stingray alocasia had thrips and no matter how much I sprayed and tried to get rid of them they would come back. I think the alocasias must be tasty to thrips 😜 I tried all summer, but eventually I let it die back. I did keep the bulb and I’ll try again in the spring.

Thanks for sharing! I feel inspired to finally let my calathea ornata go...she's been going downhill since day 1 lol

I'm killing things but not through LACK of attention. Quite the opposite (except for that lovely cactus - what happened lovely cactus?). I need to find a youtube video where somebody explains how to build a plant sanitorium. You know - like a place to put the poorly plants that will give them ramped up conditions for being healthy. I have an outhouse. I could build a plant hospital in there. We can't have absolutely perfect houseplant conditions all over our homes - but we could have a small portion of a shed, or outhouse, where there is a little hospital. There could be a quarantine area, too. I'm thinking heat pads, strategically positioned grow lights, humidifiers etc. Becca puts sick plants on her patio and it's, basically, a prognosis of death. There has to be a better way.

The exactly same thing happened to my monstera adsonni wide leaf, no pests. It was doing so well now slowly each leave is dying 😭

Does anyone have any tips for a jade and pearls pothos? I just can’t keep mine happy! Maybe in shock after a repotting? Please help 😂

I’ve thrown a nerve plant for the pot before... 👀👀😂 Usually YT notifies me when you upload so I didn’t see this until now. I looked and the bell notification wasn’t on, so if you notice a decrease in views YT probably messed up some channels notifications. RIP plants 2019. ☠️

*lol, I also have a tendency to move plants outside that aren't thriving inside and/or that I'm not super excited about anymore. I replant them in the ground though, in one of my flower beds. I've found that Mother Nature does a much better job of taking care of them that way. Sometimes they thrive, sometimes they come back year after year...sometimes they don't. :-)

RIP little fittonia! Fittonia is on my rip list as well. I can't keep them alive ☹️ 😔

When I discovered amazon ordering of plants I had a major influx of ordering online too! 😂😂

I did the same exact thing with my ivy when it was looking bad.. but the new plant in that pot is happy so.. 😂

I’m with you with the whole loose interest or never really had interest in a plant. I will admit even though it makes me sound horrible but i had a cactus that got mealy bugs and honestly i was so fed up with pests and the cactus didn’t mean much and i kinda maybe just locked it up in a room and “forgot” about it. surly i’m not the only one ? 😬😂

Oommggg! I'm so guilty of not being subscribed! I've been watching you for a while and always thought I was subscribed, sorry! You now have one more subscriber, lol! 😅

I've killed so many 😥 the one I was the most upset about was my burro's tail that my cats murdered. Thanks for sharing!

I wish I could get a a plant sitter I’m broke lol

It is a weird time for my plants. All my vining plants are flourishing and shooting out new growth while I have a few others that are so sad. Especially my calathea white fusion.

My most recent plant death is my scindapsus moonlight 😭

My ferns all die. Idaho is just too dry. I just can’t keep succulents alive either. I think I underwater them which I’m not sure is possible. I lose interest too. I try and give it away before I kill it. Haha

I had almost the exact same experience with my linearis. I just. Could. NOT figure out how to make it happy in my house.

OMG i came home today after a weekend at my boyfriends, and my Aluminum Plant was wilting cause it had dried up a bit. OOPS. but hopefully it bounces back.

I killed an alocasia this year too :( really upset me because I’d been wanting one for SO long but I bought it with spidermites unknowingly and that plus possibly not enough light are what killed it

I have a had a fittonia die on me this year also. A crispy wave fern, 2 kangaroo ferns, 2 alocacias, variegated prayer plant, and a tradescantia, (still struggling to keep my back up tradescantia alive through water propagation.) Oh and a glorious variegated wax ivy and a grape leaf ivy due to spider mites. The others died due to moving accidents, and neglect (spent a lot of time on my new veg garden at new house.) All which hurts more because I have to source most of my indoor plants when im out of town. There is no selection at all in my tiny remote town. Gah. All part of the process right? 🌿

How do house plants get infected with pests though?? So scary! I wouldn’t want my entire collection to die! I just don’t get where the pests come from if the plants are safely indoors.

love all your videos! ❤️️

My patio is also the destination of plants that don’t give me joy.

Well this at least makes me feel a little better about some of the plants I couldn't manage to keep alive! 😂 I feel less alone on the struggle.

Those sky high cheek bones 😍

I just can’t keep adansoniis alive. I’ve tried twice! 😂🤣

I have a pink polka dot plant that I wish would die! It just keeps living despite my distaste for this plant. I had plants that ‘survived’ a home fire, they’re all gone now but I really tried hard.

Yay im not alone lol. I did plant RIP list slideshow on my Instagram.

I have a zebra plant that I've had for a long time and it has died and then come back and then died and I added a new plant to the planter and then it came back with the other plant and it died and then it came back and it just keeps coming back every time it dies...

Ughhh I hate thrips. I lost a cactus to them, weird thing was they were only infesting one plant when there were many next to each other. I’m even a pest control technician and used my company’s product on the plant with the infestation and it did NOTHING -.- I just threw it away, I tried saving a single piece by treating it with alcohol, and isolating it but it died because I forgot about it/gave up LMAO

::moment of silence::

I swear Leo is just getting cuter and cuter 😩😍

My problem is I always over water my plants, I need one that can get a to of water.

Ugh I purposely murdered a two plants this weekend just because I was over them and I didn’t think it was worth giving to a friend. I felt soooooooo bad just throwing them in the garbage. RIP

YIKES...haha guess I won't go on vacation. Thanks for sharing your deaths..I don't feel so bad now :)!

Is it true that zebra plants die during winter?

did you get the idea for this video from plant fb group?
