@

@stephaniedagostinolast year For fungus gnats i swear by neem meal (sometimes called neem cake) you put the powder/pellets in warm water for several hours to make a tea. Then you id="hidden8" water with it. Repeat for the next 3-4 waterings. It works! I have tried everything. This is the only thing that did it. Smells a little funny but worth it. You can also mix the dry meal into the potting mix when repotting plants. ...Expand 9

@autumn5852last year Omg i just got my moisture meter and i have no idea how my little friends have survived this long without it being autistic my brain is wired diffe id="hidden19"rently so my senses are not experienced in the common (im trying to stop saying normal) way but i naively thought i could improve my sense of touch by using the finger method and oh, how wrong i was, which is obvious when i think about it i thought my first plant that i tested was ok for moisture but it turns out, it was bone dry and not only is this great for testing moisture but already its taken all the stress out of watering which is good for me and i can hear my plants cheering and saying its good for them as well
i think this is my best plant purchase buy ever its definitely taken my plant life to another level i highly recommend and cant wait until the next watering day and i havent finished this one yet thats the adhd brain, always ahead of the game, or so it thinks
plant moisture metre for the win. ...Expand 3

@MrJorgia11 months ago A few months ago i only owned a few plants, and couldn' t manage to keep them looking good and healthy. Thanks to your videos, my knowledge (and obsession) just a small suggestion: you often post links to other videos at the end of your video. When you finish speaking, the videos usually end pretty quickly leaving just little time to press on the suggested links. I often find my self rewinding the video to find these links. It would be nice if you could add a few more seconds at the end of the videos so we have more time to click them!. ...Expand 1
