Not Every Plant Deserves Your Energy | Unfavourites + Post-Holiday Plant Update 🌿✨✈️

#houseplants #indoorplantlover #plantcollection In this week’s video, I’m sharing a post-holiday update on my 150+ plant collection — the good, the bad, the slightly dramatic, and the plants that are officially heading off to Plant Club. There are a few unfavourites in the mix, some root rot, a mystery Hoya, diva Alocasias, scale on a fern (because of course 🙃), and a few really lovely surprises too — including new growth, successful repots, a finally-rooting Aglaonema pictum tricolor and my very first orchid bloom. More than anything, this video became a bit of a reminder that being a good plant parent doesn’t mean keeping every plant at all costs. Sometimes simplifying your collection, letting go of plants that no longer bring you joy, and focusing your energy on the ones you genuinely love can make the whole hobby feel better. If you’ve ever felt guilty about rehoming a plant, composting one that just isn’t working, or deciding you simply don’t want to keep putting energy into it anymore, this one is for you. 💚 Chapters ⏰ 00:00 Post-Holiday Plant Update + What’s Going to Plant Club 01:27 Welcome to Planting Diversity 🌿 02:02 Why My Rex Begonia ‘Rising Star’ Is Going to Plant Club 04:24 Pink Aglaonema — Why It Isn’t Working for Me 06:46 Aglaonema ‘Super White’ + Making a Fuller Pot 07:36 Mystery Hoya — Growing It for Plant Club 08:59 Syngonium ‘Red Arrow’ — When It’s Better to Start Again 09:55 Philodendron ‘Ring of Fire’ — Root Rot Rescue 11:22 All My Alocasias — Diva Plants or Worth the Effort? 11:57 Alocasia ‘Dwarf Amazonica’ — The One-Leaf Club 12:25 Alocasia ‘Frydek Variegata’ — Beautiful, but Still a Diva 12:35 Alocasia ‘Black Velvet’ — The One That Earned a Reprieve 14:55 Alocasia ‘Yucatan Princess’ — Definitely Not a Regal Shield 😂 15:09 Button Fern (*Pellaea rotundifolia*) — Scale Strikes Again 16:30 Quick Holiday Plant Overview 17:12 Philodendron brandtianum — Still Finding Its Feet 18:03 Scindapsus treubii ‘Black Dove’ — Settled In Beautifully 18:17 Aglaonema pictum tricolor — Finally Rooting! 21:07 Spathiphyllum ‘Domino’ — A Repotting Win 23:07 Dancing Lady Orchid — My First Orchid Bloom! 25:31 Kalanchoe beauverdii ‘Black Widow’ — New Growth After the Holiday 27:39 Why Time Away Helps You See Your Plant Collection Differently 27:58 Anthurium vittariifolium — I Think I Found Its Happy Place 28:27 Mixed Alocasia Corms — My Mystery Propagation Box 30:01 Holiday Lessons + What I’ll Do Next Time 31:19 End of Video Grab yourself a warm drink, get comfy, and let’s talk plants. 🌿☕️ Until next time...
