Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel. If you're new here, hi my name's Claire and this is
Yoli. I make videos all about houseplant care, sharing tips and tricks I've learned over the
years to help keep your plants happy and healthy and this video is another early morning one when
it gets to about nine o'clock here at the moment it gets so unbelievably warm and it's near
impossible to film so I thought I would just wake up early, show you some plant updates,
do some plant chores, have a chat and yes I hope you enjoy it, let's get into it.
So there's a lot going on with my plants at the moment and I could do a full updates video,
in fact maybe I will at some point soon but I've just chosen a few to show you this morning and
the first one's my Hoya Angelata Reds that I got from Arid Market and as you can see it's got two
new beautiful leaves coming in and I'll pop a picture in but they only started coming up literally
like a day and a half ago and they were so teeny and every single day I've just looked at them
throughout the day at various points and it's like you can just see them growing they are growing so
unbelievably quickly and I've just woken up and I've looked at them this morning and they've
pretty much doubled in size from how they were yesterday so yeah I'm really excited about this
plant it's such a it's such an unusual one and to be completely honest I don't know if it's one that
I would have chosen for myself if I'd seen it because I don't know it just it doesn't it didn't
it wouldn't grab me but since I've had it I have really grown to love it and especially now that
it's giving me new growth I'm I'm very excited and it's very different from anything else that I own
so yeah I'm I'm really chuffed about that and I'll keep you updated because I can't really imagine
how my bigger Hoyas are going to grow because all of the Hoyas in my collection that I had
before my Arid Market order I know I got some crazy ones in that order but before them were
quite small quite immature immature and I feel like they were just a little bit more predictable
in their growth pattern but for example like this one my Sarawak as well I have I have no idea how
they're going to grow so this is quite exciting for me and the second one is a bit of a weird one
so I have decided that I would really like to grow an indoor fig tree and my mum's got a big fig tree
out in the front garden and I decided to take a cutting about two weeks ago I had no idea if it
would work I've never tried to propagate a fig tree before when I first bought it inside the
bigger leaves that I took the cutting off died off in a couple of days and I kind of thought ah
okay probably not going to work and in the last few days it's given me a beautiful little leaf
there and it's actually got some new growth coming behind it as well so yeah I'm really excited about
that I know they're not conventional indoor plants but I googled it and I saw a few people were
growing them as indoor plants and I would just love a big indoor tree when I move to my new place
and I know it's probably going to take a little while but I thought it was worth giving it a go
and I just love the shape of its leaves they're just so so so beautiful I'll put a clip in of
the fig tree outside actually so that you'll get an idea if you haven't seen one before but it's
just such a stunning plant and I'm really hoping this one's going to continue to do well so yeah
again I'll keep you updated there's no sign of roots or anything like that yet but I'm guessing
it's doing something and then the next one is my Skinlapsis Silver Hero and this is the one that
I was really really worried about when I first got back from my time away because I came back
and the leaf had curled I was like oh I just I just got this plant to a place where it was starting
to look a little bit healthier and I thought it was doomed and it's actually now as you can see
it's got a really nice root system on it in there and I kind of did a little bit of digging down
into the moss and finally it's got a new growth point and that makes me so so so happy because
I really at one point thought that all hope for this plant was lost and yeah I'm really excited
she's giving me some new growth so yes and then the last update that I'll do is that I put my
Monstera Dubia oops on a new plank and I was actually going to do this for a repotting chat
but I've never done it before and I wasn't I kind of wanted to try it myself before I did it on
camera because I didn't really know how to go about it but it seems to have worked and actually
already oh in fact I don't think I'll be able to get this on now I won't be able to get this in
shot but I will take a clip and I'll put it in I can actually see already she's starting to put
little aerial roots out and grip on which is so so so good so what I did for this because as I say
I'd never done it before I'd seen people doing it different ways some people were just kind of
extending the current plank I gave her a completely new plank and I was so so so worried about taking
her off the plank I was really worried about accidentally damaging her snapping her breaking
the kind of bonds that she has with the old plank but I just very very gently from the top down kind
of peeled her off honestly it took me absolutely ages because I was being so so so so careful but
then I got the new plank put it in the soil tied her on and it's really hard to tie her so that
she's flat against the plank and obviously I wanted to make sure she was as flat as possible
so that she could grip on and so I tied some wool fairly loosely as you can see like there and then
to kind of tighten it up and this looks a bit silly but to tighten it up at the back I just
put like bits of kitchen roll to kind of help the string pull it in a little bit if that makes sense
and I'm sure there's a better way of doing it but for now it seems to be doing the job and
she's also there we go you can see at the top giving me a new leaf and that's literally been
in the last couple of days since I did this so I'm really hoping that she's gonna she's just
gonna go crazy now she's gonna completely climb because she's so beautiful I just really really
adore this plant and I was actually going through questions because I thought in this video when I
start repotting I might go back through some of the old questions that I haven't answered in other
videos and one of the questions was why do you need so many plants and I was kind of thinking
about that I mean it it kind of it feels obvious to me but I was thinking about it and I was like
oh I was like what is the actual reason and I think because I just I've said it so many times
before but my self-care my kind of like meditative routine is pretty much completely surrounding
plant care like I can be very bad at being still and just kind of grounding myself being with my
thoughts and I find it so easy to do when I'm doing things with plants I find it really easy
to tune into myself and it has just been the most incredible thing in the world for my mental health
and on the days even now when I wake up feeling quite angsty because I've spoken about it before
I do suffer with anxiety and often in the mornings is the time where I will feel it the most I will
wake up I'll come through here and even if I'm feeling a bit I'll be like okay right what
shall I do what shall I do and I'll go around I'll see what's going on with my plants I will
do some watering do some pruning do some propagating and it just even if it doesn't
completely get rid of it it just puts me in so much of a better headspace and it's something
that and I've said this before as well but it's honestly something that I wish I'd found sooner
and to answer the question I think the reason I have so many plants is because firstly it's
an addiction I can't stop like I cannot stop buying plants but also I run out of things to
do if I don't have loads of them and I need things to do because it is it is my routine it's what
keeps me going so I I've got I've got a lot of them and I feel like I will especially when I
move I will continue to kind of build my jungle until it feels that it's at a point where it's
not overwhelming if that makes sense because some days I will kind of spend a few hours doing like
watering or whatever and then I'll run out of things to do and I'll be like ah okay I need
more I feel like I need more today and yeah that's why I have so many because I really enjoy
plant care but yes so right I'm gonna get my potting mat out that is that question answered
I'm gonna get my potting mat out and I'm going to do some potting up of things before we continue
I just wanted to pop in here and say a huge thank you to today's video sponsor BetterHelp for those
of you who don't know BetterHelp is a flexible online therapy service that through a series of
tailored questions matches you with a therapist that's right for you you can select your preferences
for example if you'd like to work with somebody within the LGBT plus community and let them know
how you'd like to communicate for example if you'd like to do weekly video sessions then that's
absolutely fine but also if you just prefer to speak to somebody via text or phone from time to
time then that is fine too I'm personally having weekly sessions with my therapist and whether I'm
going through something specific having a bout of anxiety or just feel like I need a little bit of
extra support I honestly get so much out of them as you guys know I've spoken a fair amount about
mental health on my channel and having been in therapy with BetterHelp for the past couple of
it's honestly a service I couldn't recommend highly enough if anybody fancies checking them
out I'll leave all the details in the description box below right on with the video so the first one
that I think is probably going to be ready for a repot is my fishbone cactus this one this one has
been ridiculously fast growing and I have always had to stop myself from buying a big fishbone
cactus one of the ones that kind of trails down and looks beautiful because I'm like no Claire
you have one it will get to that size and she's getting there like look at this she is getting
there so I want to kind of encourage her to keep growing big and full and healthily so I think I'm
gonna just take a look at her roots and hopefully get her in a slightly bigger pot as always I
forgot and as I say for this video I went back through some of the questions plenty questions
that I haven't answered in other repotting chats and picked a few out that I thought would be quite
fun oh wow yeah quite fun to answer so I will I'll go through them in a moment
okay so her root system's quite thin and fine I do think yeah I mean oh okay she hasn't had
a water in a few days so you can see okay there we go I don't think I'm gonna break it up that
much just because well maybe I'll maybe I'll do a little bit of breaking up it's just it looks
quite delicate and I don't want to mess with it if it's gonna set the plant back in anyway I should
have really given her a water last night quite a lot of the time if I'm gonna repot a plant I will
water them the night before just to kind of help soften things up a bit it just makes it makes
everything so much easier but I I completely forgot about that so yeah it's all kind of quite dry and
not very easy to work with so the first question was house burning you can only save five plants
which do you choose ah I'm so indecisive you know I'm so incisive and my favourite plants change a
lot um I think just like going with my gut I would say right now if I could only save five plants it
would be my peperomia hope that one is bringing me so much joy at the moment and I I love it so much
my aglaonema silver bay I think that plant is just beautiful and again I'm really loving it
at the moment I've kind of got to say my big variegated monstera because I'm so proud of her
she's so big although that might be a difficult plant to save because of how big she is my big
anthurium clarinervium would definitely be one oh and then I guess I'd say my white princess
philodendron there would be a lot more that I would probably try to come back for if I could
but yeah right now those are ones that are bringing me a lot of joy I mean there's ones like
my variegated monstera my white princess they always bring me so much joy I mean all my plants
do but you know what I mean they're kind of consistent favorites of mine but yeah ones like
the peperomia hope at the moment I I think it's since I did the growth update and I realized just
how quickly she's grown and I just feel so proud of her and so yeah I just also love her leaves I
think she's just like the cheekiest most beautiful plant I also would love to save my
fishbone cactus because I love this one so much and I feel bad not including it while I'm holding
it so yeah let's see this one as well I really wish I'd watered this last night when the roots
are really dry they're just so much they don't have as much flexibility and they're so much more
prone to breaking and although a little bit of root breakage isn't the end of the world
because her root system isn't that full I don't want to break too many the next question was which
plants have you struggled with the most there's plants that I'm having struggles with at the
moment and ones that I've struggled with recently but I would say as like a type of plant over the
years I really really struggled with peperomia I think I've said that before but I had quite a few
peperomia plants and none of them seemed to like me I'm sure I was doing things wrong but
I just thought they were gorgeous but I could never get them to survive touch all the words
in the last year couple of years I have added quite a few to my collection and they are okay
they are doing well but it's taken me a while to get to that point and I think maybe because when I
first discovered peperomia I got I got quite a few of them and and I probably didn't properly
research or kind of monitor them in the right way and they all went downhill fairly quickly but I
think because I've kind of gradually built my peperomia collection up now I I propagated my
peperomia frost and I think because I propagated that one from a leaf cutting I kind of got to know
it from a very early age if that doesn't sound too weird like I was able to kind of really know
it from a very young plant and be super vigilant with it and once that one got going then I added
quite a few others to my collection and touch all the wood they have been they've been fine
they're actually doing really well now so that's one that I definitely struggle with for ages
calatheas as well and I know that's kind of classic they can be such dramatic plants and
to be completely honest even nowadays there's always something going on with my calatheas they
they just I don't know they're so temperamental so although on the whole again I'd say they're
doing well they can also be they can also be a little bit of a nightmare in terms of specific
plants that I've struggled with recently I think probably the biggest one I mean there's been a few
but the biggest one would be my philodendron melanochrysum so that plant had thrips really
badly last summer I chopped that plant up I had to completely essentially start from scratch take
some cuttings and then got the main top cutting back to a point where it was a really decent
beautiful beautiful plant and then before I went away on holiday I wasn't quite sure whether or
I mean it wasn't quite ready for a water it probably needed to be watered in another few days
but I was like oh would it be better to water it now or would it be better to risk coming back to
it completely dried out and I took the risk I watered it and then I went away for a week and a
half and then came back to that plant looking really unhappy and when I checked the roots I did
this as a video over on my patreon but when I checked the roots they were black absolutely black
yeah it was totally my own fault but I feel like it's been kind of one battle after another with
that plant and I am propagating it again I've propagated some wet sticks I've propagated some
leaf cuttings I've got a beautiful top cutting actually in my cabinet that you can see oh there
and it seems to be doing okay I'm not quite sure if it's rooting yet but it hasn't died back and
I really hope it's savable I love that plant so much but it is one that I've had
ongoing struggles with there are some slightly bigger thicker roots kind of in the middle in
the root ball so I'm just going to kind of encourage them where I possibly can to just
loosen up and branch out a little bit the fishbone cactus is definitely one of my thirstier cacti and
also definitely fastest growing I mean it's ridiculously fast growing and has given me so
much new growth in the time that I've had it I've also propagated it several times and
it's done really really well and yeah as I say I just think it's it's such an unusual such a just
such a great plant and it's super easy to come by it's not that expensive and I just think it's
awesome I think it's awesome the next question is have you ever snuck plants into the house
many many many many many times so when I was with my ex he always was saying okay I've got
too many plants clay I need to stop now and I would always oh I was so sneaky and this is why
I say it's an addiction because I was so unbelievably sneaky I would find so many ways
to get plants into the house I would I mean the easiest one was to wait until he was at work and
I had a day off and I could be like oh okay right to plant time what I would do a lot is if I had
new plants and I didn't want him to notice them I would take all of my plants either into the
bathroom or outside to water them and then I would just bring the new ones in when I brought them all
back in and I'd be like oh I might have a rearrange so that you might not notice that there
were new plants in places um I have done it here as well at my mum's which I know isn't good because
I know bless her heart she's been so unbelievably amazing at letting me keep literally take over her
conservatory and letting me keep all my plants here but I don't know sometimes I just see something
and I'm like oh my goodness especially if you see an amazing plant for a really good price like a
and you just have to get it you just have to get it so yeah like for example when I went to Exeter
and I did two houseplants or UK episodes in the space of two days I came back with
oh my goodness I think I came back with about seven or eight new plants and I bought her a
garden plant from Fairmoor's garden centre to kind of butter her up a bit but the other ones
I kind of I was bringing my bags down the steps and I would just kind of have a plant in a bag
and I would kind of tuck one behind my back and yeah it's it's the people around you that don't
get why you need to keep buying them and yes I as I say have definitely done that many times I'm sure
I'm sure I've thought of other creative ways to sneak plants into the house as well if any
of you guys have like funny ways of sneaking plants into the house then comment them down
below because I think it's hilarious like I know I know you need to respect the people that you're
it's quite funny so let me know in the comments right okay so I need to decide
what size pot I want to put it in I mean that's not a huge difference and I feel like
I feel like because it's so fast growing I might go up one more so I've got that
oh so this is wider as you can see and this is deeper just in case you couldn't notice
um and I'm kind of thinking that because its root system doesn't go down that far
that's the one that's next on the list perhaps it would be better yeah I think that would actually
work quite well the next questions what is your fastest growing plant oh I've got a lot that are
being very very speedy at the moment it is growing season here in the UK and I've got some that are
giving me incredible growth but I think probably top of the list is my Reptifora Tetrasperma that
one is oh my goodness it is just out of this world fast and I know I've had people commenting before
saying that that plant isn't particularly fast for them and what I found is when I first got it
the first kind of couple of months that I had it and it was still quite a small cutting
it was quite slow but once it got going there was no stopping it once it got going it's giving me at
least at least a new leaf a week and sometimes leaves will come out and there's already a new
one coming out of that one and it's just being insanely fast so yeah I'd say that's probably my
top one but then I've got other ones like for example this one this has been for a cactus very
fast my spider plants as well one of them I'm going to be tackling in a moment they've been
quick but yeah as I say I think my top one would be Reptifora Tetrasperma someone also asked what
my favourite common plants were I've got absolutely loads like I I know I've got quite a few rare
plants in my collection as well but I I don't kind of I don't know value is the right word I
don't like appreciate them any more than I do my common ones if that makes sense like if I like a
plant it doesn't matter if it's common or rare I'm not ever someone that would just buy something
because it's like oh wow that's insanely rare I must have it in my collection um I really just
go off like what I think about that plant like for example this one I love it so much and I'm pretty
sure you can pick these up for a couple of quid nowadays and I think it's awesome one of my all-time
favourite plants is my oh can you see it isn't that is it my string of pearls my pothos plants
as well especially my marble queen pothos at the moment she is just producing the most beautiful
variegation and she to me she always looks like a rare plant she looks like she should be rare
because the balance of variegation and the beautiful kind of splashiness of her leaves
is so unusual that you wouldn't expect her to be so cheap and easily accessible again peperomia
hope I said that was one that I would save from the burning building peperomia hope is just
oh my goodness it's it's so great oh my god I'm such a dork um but no I think it's really amazing
I think it's just oh it's I was gonna say too good to be true right now it's one that I am
constantly kind of like my eyes are on it all the time I go through phases with different plants if
they start doing something exciting or I kind of have a newfound appreciation for them in some way
I will look at that plant like obsessively I will check on it like five times a day and I'll be like
oh what's new with you what's changed and that is what I'm doing my peperomia hope at the moment I
am just so impressed like I did a growth update of then versus now recently and putting it next
to how it was I think just over a month ago it has grown insanely fast and I think its leaves
are just beautiful I think it's so unusual looking and yeah I would say that's definitely
definitely one of my favorites right cool yeah I think that pot was a good choice I think she
I think she's looking good I feel like once she gets going in this pot I might have to
move her up again fairly soon because I feel like she's getting ready to just go
poof and turn into turn into a beast but for now I think that will do just fine for her
but yes right I will water her after I finish this video and you'll get her potentially back
in a hanger again because I've got her and I well I had her in a hanger before and I just think she
looks beautiful as a hanging plant and I would like to keep her hanging ideally I have got so
many more of my plants into hangers over these last few days um the day that I filmed my last
video when Yoli had woken me up at one in the morning when I woke up I was like I'm gonna I'm
gonna get some plants and hangers and I think I got about maybe nine more into hangers and I mean
I don't think I can actually fit any more up there at the moment it's very very very crowded
I'm just kind of preparing for the move to my new place which again at the moment there's no
update apart from the fact that things are moving forward I don't know if it's going to be a few
weeks I don't know if it's going to be a month I don't know but it's all looking good it's all
looking much more hopeful than the last place but yeah I will be getting lots of plants into
hangers for the time being so that I can get them all hanging as soon as I move in yay
but yes so this is my variegated spider plant and at the moment it's just it's in a nursery
pot and this is actually I've ran out of stuff to decorate pots with and wasn't feeling particularly
creative so this is an old sleeve of a t-shirt that was going to charity and I thought I'll
make a little pot cover with it but it's got a little bit water stained and gross so I think
that can go in the bin but yeah this one again probably should have watered this okay it's got
a bit of moisture in the soil so it might be a little bit easier but as you can see she is
flowering and getting ready to give me some lovely new babies but whoa yeah she's going
pretty crazy at the moment and this is another one that I propagated from my mum's plant
wow oh my goodness wow look at that yeah I propagated this one from a little pup from
my mum's plant just over a year ago I want to say I think just over a year ago and
she's grown so so so quickly and as I say is now starting to get ready to give me
give me some pups of her own so I'm very very very excited about that oh I'm tempted to soak
these roots for just like now okay I'll give it a go I'll give it a go yeah definitely if
you were planning on doing a repot especially if a plant is quite root bound then it's a really
good idea to just give them a water the night before because as I say it just makes everything
so much easier the next question is if you had to get rid of one plant what would it be
okay I actually I thought this would be really hard but I've actually got two that I think I
could part with fairly easily and I feel bad saying that because because I just feel bad
saying it but my philodendron golden dragon I really like it but I just I don't know I don't
feel like I've built a relationship with that plant in the time that I've owned it and I only
say built a relationship with just because a lot of my other plants like pretty much all of my
other plants I feel like I really get them I really I don't know I just kind of feel like
I've got a connection with them in some way and that plant I did it's just never really done it
for me which I know is such a shame and I know it's relatively rare and I have actually I've
sent out quite a few cuttings of it like my um giveaway tier over on patreon I sent out a cutting
of it for someone last month um I swapped a cutting of it with someone for something and
I sent a cutting out to one of my instagram plant friends as well it's not that it's there's not
nothing wrong with it it just doesn't do as much for me as most of my other plants do so
I feel like I will probably continue to give cuttings of that plant away and hope that it
brings someone else joy um and the second one is my again another one that's quite rare my
philodendron squamiferum and I don't know if it's just because it hasn't looked that healthy for
the time that I've had it like it's given me new growth and the new growth has been
a little bit anti-climactic and it's funny actually because I know I got a philodendron
code 69686 or whatever it's called I got one of those in my arid market order and
that one looks really quite similar like it's leaf it's leaf shape and the structure of the
plant is really quite similar and I absolutely love that one there's just something about the
squamiferum that I just don't think is really clicking for me and so yeah again I think
there's no point in keeping plants if they're not bringing you joy I think I'll probably
find somebody that likes that plant and send some cuttings out and stuff like that
um if any of you are uk-based and I I said this last time about my peperomia frost and oh my god
my messages on instagram just absolutely blew up and I hacked that plant's pieces and I sent out as
many as I possibly could and I will continue to try and spread the spread the plant love like so
many of the plants that I got and have in my collection have come from people just being kind
and giving me things and I would like to kind of continue that as much as I can
but I can't I can't hack its pieces anymore for the time being so
yes I will cautiously say if anybody is interested in either of those two plants
potentially drop me a message um and if I don't get back to you maybe just assume that that's
I don't know Instagram I mean I really I'm not a massive social media person and I don't really
although like I've got some lovely plant friends on there I've got some lovely people that I chat
to that side of it I love when especially like with either group chats or requests or like plant
issues and stuff like that when my messages build up and I do let them build up like I'm very bad
at staying on top of it I just find myself getting a bit overwhelmed and I don't know if
anybody else gets this but then I will have this like list of messages I know I need to respond
to and the thought of responding to them makes me really really angsty to the point that I just put
it off put it off put it off and yeah so I don't really know where I was going with that but
uh I don't even remember what the question was plant that you could get rid of that's what that's
I was talking about so yeah if I had to get rid of a plant or two right now it would be those ones
but the rest of them I mean to be honest and I was actually I was saying this to
my mum I think the other day I think it was my mum I can't remember um but I was saying that because
I am just so obsessed with my collection and because I spend so much time as much time as
I possibly can each day with my plants I feel like I would notice more or less instantly if even like
one little one little thing went missing or a cutting was taken of a plant I feel like I would
notice very very quickly and yeah the golden dragon and the squirmy phaerom I feel like just
kind of lift down to that a little bit like I don't think I would be devastated if they weren't
there anymore so that is my answer to that okay we are getting there with this but god I mean these
roots I love spider plants roots so much like the mature ones that are just so thick and succulent
they're almost kind of anthurium and how dense they are if that makes sense but I just think
they're so gorgeous and it's just so satisfying to see such full healthy roots as well and I don't
know why like looking at the plants looking at a spider plant you wouldn't necessarily
and not that you can tell but you wouldn't necessarily think it would have such big beefy
roots because it's quite a kind of fragile delicate plant if that makes sense and yeah
they're absolutely amazing somebody asked do you ever have dreams where your plants are all dead
I don't know if I've had that specific dream but I have 100% had dreams about my plants and things
happening to my plants and quite often like as just shows you how much my mind is on it but like
quite often when I'm falling off to sleep and you kind of you know when you're in that that half
half awake half asleep kind of dream state and you have like the thing where you fall over and
you wake yourself up or something like that so many times I have had I can't think of like
specifics but ones where I've just done something to a really a really expensive really rare plant
or something like that and then I've tripped and it's fallen and it's broken or yeah I can't I
kind of can't think of specifics but I know that I've had dreams about plants there's been times
that I've woken up and I've been like oh god uh have any of you ever had dreams about plants
and if so let me know what they are I'd love to I would love to hear I've definitely had it when
I've been away before like when I haven't been able to be with my plants and it's obviously been
on my mind a lot like wondering how they're doing especially if the weather conditions aren't great
and I've had like horror nightmares where I realized that something awful's happened to
them or something that's just totally out of my control so I guess yeah I guess that's kind of
what you asked but yeah as I say let me know in the comments if any of you have had weird
planty dreams okay right I think I am happy with that those roots are just so incredible
and I really hope that this plant is going to continue to get bigger and bigger and bigger
because again towards the top of it now some of that growth coming in is really quite big and
mature it's really really hard to believe that this was such a teeny tiny little baby plant this
time last year um did I just take it out of that pot yes I did right I guess maybe I could put it
in the pot that I was gonna put the fishbone cactus in yeah I think that would work I think
that would work well and the question is do I have enough soil or am I gonna have to mix up some more
I was gonna say I actually and this goes against everything I usually say but this morning I am
using the same soil mix for the fishbone cactus and the spider plants and it's just because I
had some mixed up I am running quite low on soil at the moment so this is houseplant potting soil
a bit of cactus soil as well which has got kind of extra sand extra grit perlite coconut core
and horticultural charcoal I think that's it I mixed it up about a week ago but yeah I feel like
both of these plants like something fairly well draining and something that retains moisture
fairly well so I think it's gonna be fine I think it'll be fine if I was doing things correctly I
probably would have put a little bit more sand and grit and kind of chunkier stuff into the
fishbone cactus but to be honest the mix was potted in before was pretty much the same thing
and that seemed to work okay for it so I think we're gonna be okay what's your top wish list
plant at the moment oh that's a really good question I've got a notes thing on my phone
which is basically a list of all the plants that I would love to add to my collection
I'm trying to think so I think probably at the moment one that I am ogling over so much and I
keep looking online and I keep looking at pictures of it is it's a what's it called a piper it's a
piper like a piper silvaticum but piper it's a tie silver or something like that I can't actually
remember the name of it I'll put a picture in because oh my goodness it is so beautiful and
that's one that I just I feel like I need in my life I think it's just so so so gorgeous and
I've been looking at it for a while and I know I think it was grow tropicals website I was looking
at recently and I was like they have it and I was like do I do it but I'm trying to be really
really good as of my house of code your order I'm trying to be good about buying new plants
at the moment especially until I move out like when I move out I feel like I'll do a little bit
of a splurge if I can afford to and kind of deck my place out with a few more plants but
because no one will be able to tell me that I can't which is something I'm so excited about
yeah going back to the um sneaking plants into your house thing like I so firstly I've never
actually lived completely by myself I moved out of home when I was 17 18 I moved to London and
stayed there for a while came back about a year and a half later when I finished my course
then moved out again then came back again uh moved up for drama school where I did my degree
and then after about three and a half years moved in with a did I move home first I moved home again
first then I moved in with my ex and then we broke up and I oh oh hello and then I moved back here
again oh my goodness there's a little hoverfly go away please uh so I have moved and I have
come back many many many times and I am very very excited to have my own space to be able to just
kind of not have to work around flatmates or mums or partners or anything like that and just kind of
do my own thing for a bit be a bit selfish I guess and just me Yoli and all my plants that is
that's what I'm really really really looking forward to so yeah what was I saying decking
my place out with plants that was it so yeah that is that's what I'm very very excited about I'm
just super excited to be able to not have to tread on anyone's toes like I think especially
at the moment because I'm trying to do more content creating make more videos for youtube
and stuff like that and I'm so my mum's friends are also currently staying so I've got my mum
her boyfriend her two friends and I'm filming this early and I have to say to them sorry
I need to use this room please can you stay upstairs for 45 minutes while I film a video and
then I often feel like I'm not that I'm putting out half-assed content but I feel like I can't
do things in the way that I would probably like to do them if I was able to be like right I'm
going to film a really cool video I'm going to spend all day doing it because I'm kind of working
around other people and that's fine like I get that that's what happens when you live with other
people and I also get how incredibly lucky I am to be able to be back at home but sometimes I'm
just like oh I'm like I would just love a bit of my own space I really love a bit of my own space
but yes right don't even know what the question was but that was my morning vent that was my
morning rant I actually am really glad that I filmed this morning because I feel like this
has kind of been my waking up process I don't know if it's just been ridiculously waffly if it
has I'm sorry but I feel like I feel a lot more energized and awake than I did when I started
so yes so that is that one and again I think I'll probably get this one back in a hanger because I
love the look of it hanging I love the texture of it I think it's just so gorgeous so yes I will
probably make some more hangers tonight but yeah that's I mean I've got other things that I could
have done but I am approaching the time that I need to stop filming so that people can come and
make breakfast but yeah I will I'll probably save the other things for another video soon if you've
got any other like questions you want answering the next video obviously I will put a thing on
my Instagram story and you can let me know there but also comment them down below and I will try
and include them in my next video but yeah I really really hope you enjoyed this video if
you did please make sure to give it a thumbs up why did I just forget what I was saying
