Girl you are so hard on yourself! We all have shame plants and that is what makes your channel so relatable. I have zero interest in seeing a cabinet full of rare exotics that I don't want and couldn't afford even if I did. I have a funny glasshouse made of plastic inside my house where I keep some jungle cacti because its warm and steamy and they love it. Buuut I also sprout my microgreens in there and use it as a hospice if the bathroom is too full. No such thing as a perfect plant parent. Love your videos

I just told my husband the same thing when he asked me why I don't just get a grow tent to keep all my plants in. I know he lowkey doesn't love having plants all over the house, but I told him that I have plants coz seeing them all the time makes me happy. So, having them hidden in a tent doesn't help me. I do have an ikea greenhouse cabinet where I keep all my small hoyas. Why? Because I have a toddler who likes to pull leaves. 😅

I have cats that like to eat leaves 😂 so to protect them and my plants, I got a little 5ft tall indoor greenhouse. It actually helps me to see my smaller succulents because they’re all laid out nicely under the grow lights so I can just admire them every time I walk by, but I also love to have nice hanging plants too! They just have to be hanging from the ceiling so my kitties don’t get them 😂

The four little ones I bought because they were on clearance (at separate times) for really cheep at Walmart. All needed desperately to be saved AND ALSO, a few even had moss poles in them. 😁 Now, I will be combining those four! What a good idea you had!

I got a 5" tall monstera when I found out I was preggers with my first son. It has 5 vines in it and the longest leaves were 3" long. It's been a year and I had to up pot twice. Both times there was LITERALLY no visible soil left. It had been so root bound I had to run a butter knife around the pot after letting it dehydrate. It was just unbelievable. I didn't do anything to the root ball and gave it a 2" larger than 1". I gave it lots of sun and when I went through PPD I don't think I watered it more than 3-5 times in a 6 month period. It's got some crispy edges from that episode but now it's around 3' tall and has inner fenestration. I think it's going to break the 4' mark by the end of next month. I really think monstera if given the choice will want light over water. It had a spot in the corner of east/south windows and is currently putting out somewhere around two leaves a month now that she's getting consistent water. My leaves never got stretched petioles like that. I know they say it's a good low light plant, but I truthfully don't think that's right at all. If you look at pictures you can see them climbing up trees and walls where there's a clearing in front of them a lot of times. These have been my personal findings. I have a 35+ year old vine that's currently fruiting indoors that just put out two new leaves. They're a tiny bit smaller than the old leaves but I think it's because energy is going to the fruit. It's one of my favorite plants. I know it's super common but there really isn't anything else like it. It's just perfect to me. If I had to choose one plant it would be the monstera. I might change my mind when I get my hands on a P. Maximum but who knows

that wayettii looks like it might be too wet. it's very easy to overwater after repotting, especially these plants. my wayettii looooves to dry out until it's just BONE dry also, i can probably answer that speculation at 23:20 for you. you're right in assuming it's a growth hormone. nurseries use hormones that can either lengthen or shorten internode spaces. most often this is used to shorten them for bushier plants. the internode spaces get stunted, as do the petioles sometimes. it can also be used for growing cut flowers, though the long stems with single blooms are often also produced mechanically, by removing any side shoots the plant produces and forcing it to focus all its energy into the main stem and flower. this is used especially with chrysanthemums, as they grow very bushy if left to their natural growth pattern. also! 24:05 when i worked at the nursery, we'd actually intentionally make little indents on the root ball to damage some of the roots when repotting. this encourages the roots to branch off instead of producing just one long root that would just end up winding in the bottom of the pot really quickly.
