What an incredible 4 days spent at the RHS Spring Festival in Malvern. It's an event I've always wanted to attend, but Greenrooms Market organising the festival of houseplants this year was the push I needed to actually go. There were the most insane selection of tropical houseplants, cacti and succulents, it was genuinely quite overwhelming (and I came away with a huge haul). I hope this vlog can give you a little insight into the festival if you weren't able to make it yourself!

and I think I have potentially acquired
about 18 new plants in the time that
I've been
away hello everyone I hope you're doing
well I am filming this intro in a little
bit of a rush today because I need to
leave the house in about 25 minutes
because I'm going to Emma's house this
evening to stay because we've got a very
early start in the morning we are going
to the rhs f Festival in molver this
week and oh my God I am beyond excited
it's going to be so much fun not only is
it going to be just like a classic rhs
spread of all things planty they've also
got a house plant Festival that's
happening there this year which is just
going to be incredible so yeah I'm I'm
really excited for it I'm really excited
to take you with me for it I feel like I
haven't taken you out of the house in a
while so it's going to be fun to Vlog it
I'm going for the whole thing as well
I'm going from Thursday all the way
through till Sunday so I will be able to
show you a little bit of everything
which will be
fun but first if you're new here hi my
name's Claire and this is Yoli I make
videos all about house plant care
sharing tips and tricks I've learned
over the years to help keep your plants
happy and healthy and yeah I'm just
going to whiz around with my watering
can very quickly and make sure all of my
plants are on top of because it's meant
to be very warm while I'm away and then
I'm going to grab my bags and we are
going to set off so yeah I hope you
enjoy it let's get into
[Music]
it oh my goodness I'm getting so
distracted already but I just had to
quickly show you my gyo cesium flower
because look at that that is literally
about to pop and very sadly I think it's
probably going to bloom while I'm away I
did toy with the idea of potentially
taking it with me and I just don't think
that's the best idea in the world but
it's beautiful I'm sad I'm going to miss
it but I just wanted to show you it
before I left and who knows maybe I will
catch the end of it when I'm home but
yeah right water
[Music]
go to Lou
[Music]
it was such a beautiful evening when I
got into London I kind of felt like I
was going on holiday and I really wish
I'd left some more time to go for a wand
but we had a very early morning ahead of
us and I was loaded up like a pack mule
so I headed straight to Emma's and got
some rest before the adventure began
[Music]
e
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
I'd never been to moven before but as
you can see it is just absolutely
stunning we got in a little shuttle bus
from the station that took us straight
to the festival and oh my God the views
were just
[Music]
[Music]
incredible walking into the Festival of
house plants for the first time I was
just blown away green rooms Market had
done such a wonderful job with it it was
like its own little world in there there
was just so much to
[Music]
see I was hosting the house plant stage
for the first couple of days which was
so much fun and meant I got to have some
really interesting conversations with
some super awesome planty people next
we've got Ben mule who you probably all
know already Ben is a content creator he
makes short firm content and long form
content on Instagram Facebook Tik Tok
you name it and you've also just had a
book out haven't you
[Music]
later in the day offstage I was chatting
to Peter from wax Wicked plants who
showed me an amazing carnivorous South
African bug plant it's this purple one
here which snaps up its prey using its
roots which I thought was so cool
[Music]
that night we stayed with Johnny aka the
bearded plantaholic and crashed out
right away recharging for rhs round two
the next
[Music]
day day two
[Music]
oh my goodness there were so many
gorgeous plant companies it was
genuinely quite overwhelming I did my
best to cover as much as I could in the
house plant tent but what I'll do is
I'll include a list of all of them below
so that you can have a look at them for
yourselves because they were just
amazing
[Music]
as well as hosting the stage I also gave
a talk on some of the ways I've managed
to achieve really big growth in my house
plants looking at the environment that
you've got looking at your existing
environment in your home and thinking
about the plants that you could bring
into your home without having to make
too many changes obviously some of you
are going to be willing to make pretty
major changes es and if you are then I
personally believe you can grow pretty
much anything indoors went from about
this size that you see here and in the
space of a year not only grew in Heights
to about the height of me but is now
producing leaves that are about that big
the amount of times I've got a plant
that I is doing okay it's not doing
great I feel like it could be doing
better I will Lop it back to almost
nothing and I will essentially regrow it
and half the time it goes oh okay right
let's start again let's get rid of all
the stuff that we didn't need and it
will just respond much better so yeah I
would say don't be scared to make the
chops it's like cutting your hair it
grows back oh what else do I need to
cover I feel like I've just rambled for
a very long
time God it's only been 15 minutes I
won't bore you with my whole talk now
but if you do want to watch it I've
posted it over on my patreon so I will
link that below
[Music]
[Music]
that evening they hosted a little
screening of BBC Gardener world as Sarah
aka the plant rescuer made a wonderful
appearance being followed from her home
jungle all the way to the festival
itself photosynthesize is the most
important thing you can do hey
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
this was the first day where I wasn't
helping out on stage and could just have
a proper mooch about and enjoy the
festival oh and Ross came to join me
too this is everything I want in the
world look
[Music]
there were loads of really great talks
that day too from some of my favorite
planty people one thing though that I
was really Keen to see was a Euphoria
Haley from mint plants had mentioned in
her talk on Rescue and caon succulents
it's such a weird looking thing but they
estimate it could be up to a 100 years
old
[Music]
there was also a stool there called
ottera cacti where I found one of the
weird and wonderful ones I showed you in
my unusual plants video last week
recognize this one
[Music]
as day three came to a close I had my
eye on several plants I wanted to grab
and take home with me for that reason
day four was pretty much exclusively
shopping day and oh boy did I
[Music]
shop day four day
[Music]
four the dangerous thing about the last
day is that Lots ofu were selling things
much cheaper than they'd been over the
rest of the weekend so you constantly
felt like you were getting a bargain and
therefore had to buy things that's my
excuse
[Music]
anyway although I could have easily
stayed for the whole day we had a really
long drive home so when we got to the
point of physically not being able to
fit anything else in the car we thought
it was probably time to stop and head
home
[Music]
hello hello I am back from Moren and you
are currently balanced in the pot of my
allocator Regal Shields because I can't
find my tripod anywhere it's either
still in the back of the car shoved in a
stuff or I've left it in Molin we will
figure that one
out um but I so usually at this point in
the video I will do like a big haul of
everything that I got and I'll show you
lots of plants and I've Come Away with
so many things I honestly think it needs
its own video I was just having a quick
count as I was getting things out of
bags and I think I have potentially
acquired about 18 new plants in the time
that I've been away um which is rather a
lot and it will probably be the biggest
haul I've ever done so I'm going to be
taking you through them in the next
couple of days but one thing that I have
come home to and I'm very excited about
is my gyo colisium
fully In Bloom look how
gorgeous that is and I've got another
one there that's about to open as well
it is so beautiful I might potentially
try and pollinate it if this one opens
as well I'm not quite sure also the
variegation I feel like has gone so much
more like I don't know it feels much
more saturated and kind of vibrant than
it was before I left I don't know if
that's anything to do with the bloom it
also doesn't smell of anything but it's
so pretty so yeah that's been a lovely
thing to come home to after as I say
such a lovely few days I have met and
mingled with the most wonderful people I
met some of you guys there and it was
just oh my God I'm on I am honestly I'm
very tired um but I am on such a high
right now I've just had the most
wonderful time so thank you to all of
you that made it so special thank you to
green rooms Market my God thank you so
much for creating the Festival of house
plants and yeah just everyone that went
and was there it was just amazing
absolutely
amazing so yes I will be doing a massive
plant hul video probably in the next day
or two so stay tuned for that and I
really hope you enjoyed this video and

lovely day and I will see you in the
