Planttok 🌱 Part 8 🌱 tiktok compilation 

Thank you!

The soil has nothing to do with them growing leggy tho, that just means they get too little sunlight

Also, they can’t survive in just rocks. I did a mix of rocks, sand, and dirt.

I usually water mine towards the end of every month and they’re all thriving

I have one Golden Pothos since kindergarten and I named it Hector 🤷🏼‍♀️

You’re not alone, Fred and friend.

I name my plants pflanzita. :D

i have nine plants and i shall name all of them in this reply: allie sandra bernard dolores katie philemina caleb cami and shelby

Omg I have a bush in my yard named Fred

@@jomsies it’s literally no different than emptying a Saucer…..either way you have to catch the water and if you water them in the shower that’s just a whole world inconvenience more than simply emptying a pot

@@chickenstripper7755 Watering in the shower is surperior because you're removing dust at the same time. I water all of mine in the shower except for my big fiddle leaf fig.

Nursery pot inside of a cover pot is a big-brain move.

It also makes no difference either way, the plant gets drainage.

Yea I never understood why they plant it directly in the pot

Yeah you definitely shouldn't shake them like that. You can damage the roots or the plant itself. What you're doing is the right thing, either a fan or (if it's warm enough) putting them outside.

I don’t know why, but I really love this. Lol

I leave my succulents and cactus at home during lock down, after 4 months they even grow bigger

They don't care I have 12 different succulents and two big cactus that I had for 3 years now and I've always watered them in the showerrrr

-spider plants -ferns (almost all kinds are cat safe, not super beginner friendly) -hoyas -calatheas (not beginner friendly) -ponytail palm -peperomia -echivera (type of succulent) -pilea peperomoids -haworthia -palms (most are safe but double check before buying) -prayer plants (not super beginner friendly) -air plants -christmas cacti -banana tree -burrow's tail (succulent) -american rubber plant -string of hearts -african violets -venus fly trap -string of turtles -orchids (most are safe, double check before buying though. not beginner friendly) -string of buttons (succulent) -pileas (most are safe but again check before buying) -lithops -cacti (most are safe, be careful with spikes) -swedish ivy i forgot some but if you have any questions i would love to answer them! **this was copy+pasted from another comment i answered- hope it was helpful :) idk if they are safe for dogs but all of these are safe for cats

first of all, don't get a lot at once. i made this mistake when i started and it was overwhelming to care for all of them. i currently have about 50 but have been growing my collection for almost a year now. second, im 14 and have a cat too! thankfully mine don't chew my plants but don't risk it with plants that aren't safe. **also before i share a list u can get grow lights for the light- there are some pretty cheap ones on amazon.** okay on to the list (all of these are cat safe) **if you have any questions about care there are lots of great videos about plant care, i love the channels Planterina, Get Planty With It, Good 'n Planty, and Summer Raine Oakes -spider plants -ferns (almost all kinds are cat safe, not super beginner friendly) -hoyas -calatheas (not beginner friendly) -ponytail palm -peperomia -echivera (type of succulent) -pilea peperomoids -haworthia -palms (most are safe but double check before buying) -prayer plants (not super beginner friendly) -air plants -christmas cacti -banana tree -burrow's tail (succulent) -american rubber plant -string of hearts -african violets -venus fly trap -string of turtles -orchids (most are safe, double check before buying though. not beginner friendly) -string of buttons (succulent) -pileas (most are safe but again check before buying) -lithops -cacti (most are safe, be careful with spikes) -swedish ivy i forgot some but if you have any questions i would love to answer them!

I think most plants are safe for cats, I usually look up if a plant is safe for my cat after I've decided I want it. There are more safe plants than there are unsafe plants. Also, a tip, if your cat won't stop chewing your plants, get it some cat grass! In my room I currently have a pilea, random succulent (?), and pothos. My cat doesn't go near any of them though. My mom is also an avid plant enthusiast, so we have a LOT of plants... I'll even admit one of them is toxic. The good thing is that my cat doesn't chew on any of the plants because she just eats her cat grass instead.

whatever you do, NO STARGAZER LILYS please they are so deadly to cats!!!! if your cat takes one bite it’s gone by morning. NO LILYS!!! (i’m pretty sure peace lilies are okay lol)

also i’m twelve and have 9 plants so far, if you don’t want your cat to chew on things, put lavender tea bags on it. i have an aloe vera plant and i tied lavender tea bags to it and my kitties leave it alone. you can also rub citrus juice around where your plant is, cats don’t like citrus juice.

what about lack of sun?

@@Calleigh979 they CAN live in low light, they just won't be happy. They'll start to stretch really bad

phew because i have a spray bottle and it’s REALLY hard to get under the leaves

wait i haven’t been watching a lot of plant tiktoks or videos… why was this recommended to me right after i got my plants?

they may just be taking awhile- i don't really know much about flowers but i'm sure there's a youtube video explaining it

Assuming you are on the northern hemisphere, which window are you putting it in? By that I mean how much light is it recieving? Also are you checking your soil before watering? Were there any signs of damage when you bought it?

@ Izzy Ha wait wait does the window really matter?!?!? can i still grow my plant facing east??

@@Calleigh979 yes! I know it sounds crazy but it's how the sun rises and falls during the day time and different sides of your house get different lighting. And yes! Just be aware of how much sunlight it would be getting. East and west facing usually get less sun than a south facing which gets bright light. A north window usually doesn't get a ton so if anything a low light plant would be okay. Keep in mind low light doesn't mean it wouldn't do better or grow faster in indirect light. It just means that it would survive with less than the average houseplant.

if you have a home depot near you, that’s where i got mine

peace lilies i’m pretty sure are okay. it’s stargazer and easter lilies you have to worry about.

Get a grow light :)

@@goosler2032 those can give you canser cause of the uv rays so I want plant recommendations

grow lights are SO helpful. they shouldn't give u cancer unless u sit with them directly on u all day- i have some that i've had for years that i love so much. if you absolutely against grow lights, then things like ZZ plants, snake plants, pothos, heart leaf philodendrons, diefenbachias, peace lilies, dracaenas, haworthias, spider plants, and some ivy can do pretty good in lower light environments

POTHOS

its depleting natural moss in bogs iirc :(( maybe some are responsibly sourced though?

@@Ash_Wynn I’m trying to find some brands that sustainably source them, cause they are great for plants, and I also need some for my snail. So I’ll tell you if I find some:)

@@Ash_Wynn it is true that some are responsibly sourced. Hand picked and regrown, I know that that is where you tubers like benji plant get their sphagnum moss.

you can either grow moss by yourself (but you won’t get a lot from it) and there is a brand that sells peat, Moorland gold, and it gets peat sustainably from what I’ve read, (i think it collects peat and decomposed leaves at river dams where it got stuck) but coco coir is also a great alternative for peat. About the moss, other than growing it yourself from a bit, idk 🤷‍♀️ I don’t really use moss that much, but i think people should reuse their moss other than the times when it has pests ect.

Spider plant doesn't always resemble what they are named after but that is why they're named that way. Mine does look like a spider sort of, her leaves curl over the edge of her pot like a little spider would to hold on.

It do works to grow tomato plants from fresh tomatoes, but it's not easy to get it fruit, I could say that's fake

Yes it works, I do it when I eat tomatoes and now I have a lot of tomato plants around my house

@@knt8133 Thanks!

@@megaparsec7910 Ty!

No.

unless its sustanable

Why not?

​@@xxannabeloliviaxx its just generally not good for the plant roots, because it dries them out, so using it gives the plants a pretty unhealthy living condition.

@@_ruehle6033 no it depends what plants i have a nepenthes that loves it

@@tiktokfaves1267 Thankyou🤩

Ty I was actually going to ask that

"imagination" or "pure imagination" depending on the version :)

I think it‘s called „Epiremnum Aureum Jade“ or „Jade Pothos“. From my understanding it has none or less parts of yellow than a golden pothos.

i think it's a jade pothos
