I feel you! I'm constantly propoagating because it's so much fun, and when my friends come over, they always leave with plants!

The sound quality is great and consistent. I’ve just had a huge declutter, not of plants but general stuff and I can’t tell you how much lighter and happier I feel. I’m enjoying my home life so much more and have got loads more room for plants! This video has reminded me that quality is better than quantity. I don’t need every plant… 😂❤

[Buzzardgirl]

Thank you for making me feel less guilty about parting with some of my plants!!!! I develop these seasonal plant obsessions and buy anything with a root on it and then a year later fall out of love with the way it grows and then have terrible guilt about letting it go 😃 but it does then feel so freeing to have less and enjoy the plants you really love. You will find good homes for all your decluttered plants. Sending love to all my fellow plant lovers out there. Have a fab day everyone 🥰

Thanks for this video I have been feeling overwhelmed with my plant collection lately found this video very helpful❤😊

I'm downsizing too... It's hard, but so needed when it just gets overwhelming!

[mindfully_growing]

I totally agree. YOUR mental health comes first, I’ve done the exact same thing ❤

[carolynross]

I struggled with blue star fern for ages! But I found they like a dry head and wet feet, so I plant them slightly above soil height and keep the bottom really wet. The one in my south facing window does burn but the others do well in the east and west windows.

I’m downsizing myself… getting rid of duplicates and ones that just don’t bring joy. It helps that I have to start bringing my plants indoors because of the weather. I have to find places for my porch plants (favorites ~ the ones that made the cut 😆) so others have to go.

Great video! Enjoyed the indecisiveness with the Hoya as I do exactly the same thing!

I’m proud of you Emma! Although some ppl frown on getting rid of plants, they’re yours & if you’ll feel better without certain plants, 🗑️is ok. Thanks for sharing Emma!

[meredithdavis]

I loved when you said (paraphrase) they're your plants now so you get to decide their fate. Thank you for the reminder! I've been clearing out plants that don't bring me joy all summer since it's too hot here to safely order any until autumn. I want space for an Anthurium Wendlingeri and a few others.

I feel you. Every classroom in my school just got gifted a plant from me this week. Between us they’re the plants I was ready to move on. 😊

I took my big monstera deliciosa, and started 5 different cuttings and rooted them. They did great, and because every cutting had mature leaves with fenestrations, and they all grew in with split leaves. I turned one plant into three and had a couple of awesome gifts (one to one of my daughters and the other to my son).

Go Emma!! This video was VERRRY inspiring for me! Right before I turned the video on I was debating on whether to get rid of my Alocasia Poly.. it’s been nonstop with spider mites and I’m tired of patrolling it every other day. Several of the plants you were debating over I am also. My Cinnamon Opuntia is also looking sickly. No idea why. And I have a propagation from my Monstera that also seems stuck in its growth; the mama plant however, is out of control and humongous! Thank you and I love this sound quality! 💚🌵🪴😊

Take your regal out and put in a south window about 1/2 ft back. Morning light works beautifully

I love this
Feels refreshing after my crummy day! This makes my night end postive

I have recently given some plants to my mom. I have also tossed a few. Thanks for this inspirational video! I was yelling at you to bin the plants (and cheering you on when you did) while riding my bike!

I been in a declutter journey since last year. I’m now more concentrated in style the plants I love and just overall having less. This Friday my town is having a plant exchange and I’m so exited to bring some of the plants I don’t want. They deserve a nice home with someone that gives them attention.

I can see where you would feel overwhelmed. I don't prop unless like a friend or my sis asks me for a baby cause I feel stressed when there is a bunch of containers waiting to become things. Don't hate me comment section but I don't like plants on poles and the work it takes to keep them happy with the moisture and waterings. I see so many moss pole builds and I'm like "You're a braver woman then I lol" I feel if you enter a room and feel streesed and not relaxed with your plants it's time regroup. :) You got this!

I'm all for a plant purge! Hobbies can sometimes lead to burnout, and decluttering helps establish healthy boundaries. 😊
