String of Pearls Care Tips:
1. Lots of light! Mine love south light

3. Chunky potting mix with added perlite, bark and charcoal.

I searched EVERYYYWHERE for shallow hanging terracotta pots with no luck. I finally discovered terracotta "bulb pans" which are shorter pots and I plan to drill holes in the side and add some string myself. I am going to pot up my SOT, VSOH and VSOP in them and I'm so excited! Had to watch this video before I did anything to give me some courage haha. Any advice you want to give or anything you'd change (since this was posted several months ago)?

Melissa - I'm not sure you actually realize how good your videos are now. The lighting is perfect, the autofocus works perfectly, the plant closeups are OMG seriously the best of any planty channel. We have a large TV so your plants are like 4 feet across (lol), and the detail and high definition are just a joy to watch! Also, congrats on 50k! Also good choice with the heavier shirt to accommodate the mic 🙂

I’m really enjoying using it and I’m loving the new software too :) I’m still messing around with settings and I feel I look a little washed out but I’m happy with the progress I’m making! It was a lot to learn how to use new stuff but I’m excited to do more videos now. 🥰 50k is so crazy to me! thank you!! 🙏🏼

@davidreid8835 2 жыл бұрын

Wow, what a plant mat! The iridescence gives it a lot of pizazz. From a style and artistic standpoint It certainly compares very favorably to the piece of grungy old scrap plywood that I use!? I’m kind of attached to the plywood, however, and I’ve certainly done a lot of plant care tasks on it. I’m also very impressed that just a single pearl detached during the repotting. Great touch on your part. Enjoyed this video as always. Thanks.

@cherrydulaney6572 11 ай бұрын

I no longer use pots with “waists” - those with more of an urn shape. When it’s time to repot, you can’t easily get the plant and soil out of the pot to move it because of the fatter bottom portion and the narrower neck/waist.

I really like the way that planter looks but concerned about soil level being so high and touching the knots that are inside the pot. They’ll wick the water from the soil and eventually rot and the planter will crash to the floor. When you watered it I could see the water drip out of the holes near the rim. 🪴❤️
