Check out my houseplant collection tour 2022! I show the various areas where I house my plants. It is a fabulous houseplant collection 2022 if I say so myself! An engaging 2022 houseplant tour. My new home is very dark and this video shows how I have my plants arranged so they get as much light as possible. I show my plants in leca and my few plants in soil as well. You also get to see some houseplant updates!

You and Sydney Plant Guy have definitely mastered how to make plants grow huge up moss poles. Your Monstera el salvador is absolutely stunning. I've never seen one fenestrate in a house setting before. Thanks for sharing ❤

Galantica Thank you! Yeah my El Salvador is pretty insane! Those fenestrations are just amazing! Also, @sydneyplantguy is a plant god!

WOW, that's a lot of plants! I feel ya on the lighting situation. I'd love for my next house to have a sunroom. Thanks so much for the tour. It's fun to see how others have their plants situated.

A lot of plants right! I am really saddened about the light situation. The growth has really slowed down.

Do you ever question yourself like I do? Today when I brought home 3 more plants that I didn’t need (but really really loved!) I thought, when will enough be enough? When do I start to worry about my sanity?!! Maybe once I have more than 200?🤪😂😂

I question myself all the time. The mistake you are making is putting a number on it! ☺ As long as you are happy and not harming anyone, you do you!

It would be super cute if you took all the spider pups and grew them vertically on a pole. I know that they personally don't get tall but the living wall idea would be a good way to just toss them up and use the vertical space while making a more basic plant very unique! You could even pop in other small cuttings and get that mixed salad of plants over time 🤷🏼‍♀️

I truly enjoyed your plant tour. A lot of your plants are exquisite to me. My home isn’t conducive to good lighting at all, so I wouldn’t be able to collect as many as I would love to, however, I do make do with what I have. Especially my orchids and African Violets. I do need to purchase more grow lights for my growing plant room. Thank you so much for your tour!

Hi Nora, you are doing a great job for your plants. Here in the uk its summer but never as hot as your. Its dull most of the year so I know where your coming from I have the same issue. Yet we all some how manage to get by. I rotate some of my plants to get extra light. Its hard to do with children and pets. You haven't got pets but maybe one day you will.

I think the fact that you have so many philodendrons is a good thing in low light areas, but you're doing a great job of providing light wherever you can! How do you keep up with so many plants? And those HOYAS! What a beautiful sight when they bloom, huh? Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful collection! I'm a new subscriber!

Thanks for the great tour and for opening your home. Have you ever counted you plants? I think that after seeing your plants that I will purchase some grow light. I’m most fortunate as I live in Western Australia and I face mostly north so have a good light in front and ok in the back. Would have loved to have all the plants like you have when I was younger but now that I’m older I’m unable to manage that many. Thanks again. Really enjoy all your videos.

My O my O my!! I certainly envy your green thumb! I understand the lighting situation. I have 50 of my hoyas in one large South facing bay window It seems as tho the sun positioning, however, has changed! No sunlight falls on my hoyas. Strange... No trees in the way. The other windows hold other plants but only the west window has sunlight pouring in late afternoon. I imagine you get enough privacy from the plants since covering the windows doesn't appear to be an option. I'm about to pull out that grow light now. You have done a fantastic job with your plants. Thanks for sharing. Love it! Dee, New York USA

Diane B Thank you! I love how you picked up that closing the blinds is sometimes not an option! I am sorry to hear about your Hoyas, I hope that changes soon. I was thrilled to learn that you have 50 Hoyas! People think I am crazy but 50 Hoyas is nothing right?
