Repotting and fertilizing my plants for Spring! I'm very excited about this growing season since it's going to be my first spring/summer at this apartment. I'm a couple plants, fertilizing, and doing a few other things I've been meaning to get to. Also, thank you to Notion for sponsoring this video! I'm using notion to keep track of important plant care dates. I hope y'all are doing well :)
best,
benji

I've revived dried sphagnum moss that I bought at home depot after watching that video. It worked for me, so I guess probably need to try more to find the right conditions. I put the dried sphagnum moss inside a salad box with closed lid on the window sill. I actually used my aquarium water to soak it and almost never open the lid again until I saw the revived ones.

Hi Benji just some advice sphagnum moss has limited nutrients so plants can absorb that nutrients very fast making sphagnum moss great for carnivorous plants but live sphagnum moss has nutrients like normal soil so the long term affects can affect your carnivorous plants growth.

Ahhh I love your videos so much Benji! They’re so soothing to listen to and I appreciate the very candid talk about how you care for your plants. I’ve only recently gotten into spagnum moss since I started using it to propagate my Monstera Delisiosas which has SUCH amazing success. I didn’t realize there were sustainability concerns about it though. I’ll definitely be looking into most sustainable high quality sources. And I haven’t checked yet, but I hope if you haven’t created one that perhaps you’ll share some details regarding how you grow spagnum moss. And I was wondering what your thoughts are on algae / oceany (?) fertilizers? I was sooo scared of using synthetic fertilizer from when I first began caring for plants and I burnt some of them. But I haven’t had any issues with the kelpy/ algae based fertilizer. Also how are you getting your reverse osmosis water? From the store or do you perhaps have an in-home filtration system? Thank you again for creating such lovely videos. ✨

I don’t know what harness you’re using for Theo, but as a dog trainer I recommend Brilliant K-9. Semi-custom fit and plain or patterned fabric. Slips on over the head, protects the chest band from cutting, and has a single magnetic snap. Fast and easy on and off. No copies need apply. My 25 lb dogs are collar trained but my husband prefers the harness. I’m not connected to the biz at all, just like it when I find a decent product actually engineered for function and comfort. These are working dog harnesses. Also, this was a nice, relaxing Sunday morning video. Thanks.
