Unexpected milestone 🥹😭 I started long form content on YoüTube 11 months ago and had no idea of the incredibly supportive community that would come from it. (I also had no idea of the sheer amount of really unhinged people that would also show up to my page and tell me things like how I should be more concerned about my empty womb than my plants??? 🤔 BUT the support FAR outweighs the crazies 😌) I truly don’t have any goals or internal milestones I’m trying to achieve when it comes to my social accounts. My thing has always been to just share my happenings via storytelling and if people laugh and learn something along the way, then yay. So I guess my goal then is to just keep on keeping on and I hope you find some laughter and joy in my chaos 🥰. As a sign of my gratitude for this amazing community, I am going to run a special YoüTube subscriber g i v e a w a y via YouTübe livestream on Sunday 10/27 at 9am PST. There are some amazing goods worth over $1k generously donated by my favorite plant and plant-adjacent people: 💡 PlantSpectrum 32 Grow Light from @mother.life.official 🛒 $1000 shopping spree on @palmstreetapp 🌱Monstera Mint plant from @succulentsempire (Definitely check them out and give them a follow 💛) Plus a surprise bonus gift 🎉 Check out my YoüTube to save my upcoming livestream (or see the 🔗 on my Iinktree) and I hope to see you then! 💕, Michelle . . . . . . #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantgram #plantparenthood #plantparent #plantmom #plantcollection #plantcare #houseplants Vlogger

My most expensive tampon to date 👇 You all know that “tampon” is code name for “plant” in my house. I explicitly requested this Philodendron Carmel Marble from @rareplantfairy be shipped in a box labeled TAMPONS, but my husband wasn’t fooled. After we rented an entire U-Haul to move all my plants to the new house, the gig is up. I have no more secrets 😅. 👉👉👉I’ll be doing a LIVESTREAM of my home and plants with a Q&A this FRIDAY 4pm PST on @palmstreetapp and to spice things up, I’ll be G I F T I N G $100 every 5 minutes 🌶️. You too, can get a collection of tampons. To join, comment “LIVESTREAM” or check out the 🔗 in my Story or L!nkTree. See you sooooooon 👁️👄👁️ . . . . #plantsofinstagram #plantgram #rareplants #plantcollection #houseplants #livestream #plantparenthood #plantparent #plantmom #plantcare #philodendroncaramelmarble

I think he likes it - don’t you? 🎀 👉Comment “DETAILS” for the full length tutorial on my YoüTube and list of materials/dimensions for this super fun, easy DIY project for your Christmas tree! (P.s. had to delete and repost because of the weird meta outage yesterday). I was inspired to redo my holiday home decor by Sabrina Latoya (tiktôk) when she first shared her tutorial and I saw how easy this was! I don’t know about you, but I could NEVER properly affix a star on top of my Christmas tree. I think this huge foam bow is so much cuter 🎀!

2k Plant G I V E A W A Y 🎉 ⤵️ 👉Comment “LIVESTREAM” and I’ll send you the details on how to join my livestream on @palmstreetapp this Friday 12/13 at 4pm PST with @dandi_plants where $2000 worth of plants will be given away! Christmas is early for plant lovers 💕 I’m so excited to partner with Dandi plants this month. She has an amazing selection of plants, and I’ll be sharing how these little babies are doing on my livestream! Growing plants from tissue culture seems daunting at first, but it’s actually a super fun and rewarding science experiment. I documented my last tissue culture on my YoǔTube and that plant is now one of my favorites! Which one are you rooting for: 1. Variegated Alocasia Zebrina 2. Variegated Alocasia Jacklyn 3. Variegated Alocasia Black Velvet Albo I can’t decide! . . . . . #plantsofinstagram #plantparenthood #plantmom #plantparent #plantgram #plantcare #houseplants #plantcollection #rareplants #alocasia #tissueculture #unboxingplants Tissue culture rare plants, unboxing, rare plant collection, livestream, Alocasia Zebrina variegated, Alocasia Jaclyn variegated, Alocasia black velvet variegated, plant care tips for beginners, giveaway

I want my kitchen back 👩‍🍳 For the first time ever, you can save up to 25% sitewide on Lovevery until Sunday, 12/8 including this Real Life Play Kitchen - Iink is on my Iinktree 🔗. Both of my kids have been using their Montessori-based play kits since birth and it’s something I regularly gift to friends/family. Isn’t this working sink brilliant?! This was an early Christmas gift and it’s really a gift for ME because my little gremlins now entertain themselves for hours AND they water all my plants in the process. I call that a win-win 👌 . . . . #playkitchen #montessoriactivity #toddleractivity #lovevery #toddlerhood #independentplay #plantparenthood #playroom #playroomdecor #kitchenmakeover

Me as a trad wife. 👉If you comment “DETAILS” I’m happy to share everything shown here (my nutrient mix, grow light, light meter, and a handy dandy guide on the lighting requirements for different plants ☀️). While my home gets good light, I still gaslight my plants into thinking it’s always summer year-round because I supplement a good chunk of my collection with grow lights. As a result, I continue to fertilize year-round. I also repot year-round. And by “repot year-round”, I mean when my plants are busting out of their pots, I procrastinate about 3-4 more months 🤪. Ps no husbands were harmed nor poisoned in the making of this reel. Had to just clarify that because there’s always that ONE person who will say something 🧌 . . . . . . #plantsofinstagram #plantparenthood #plantmom #plantparent #plantgram #plantcare #houseplants #rareplants #housewifelife #planthomedecor #growlight #fertilizer #monstera #ficus #birdofparadise #minimalisthome Grow light for houseplants, nutrients fertilizer plant food, housewife humor, plant care tips for beginners, home decor, how to water houseplants, bird of paradise, ficus, monstera Albo

It’s TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME 🌲 Growing up is labeling my coffee cup with today’s date so I don’t accidentally chug a cup of mold from a previous coffee cup because I lose my coffee about 17x/day and I have at least 3-4 cups lying around my house on any given day. Pictured ⤵️ 💕My variegated string of hearts propagation from about two months-ish ago. It’s starting to trail. 💍 handmade trinket dish made by @fifth_season_studio 💡🌲 the cutest little Christmas light! It folds flat and it opens up into a 3-D glowing tree! (I’ll share the 🔗 in my Stories and biö) Who else has chugged old coffee? Just me? Okay cool. . . . . #plantsofinstagram #stringofhearts #plantcollection #rareplants #plantparenthood #plantmom #christmashomedecor

I FORGOT THE PILEA 😩 👉If you comment “DETAILS” I made a FREE guide on how to repot plants along with everything I used here (the self watering pots, soil, root crâck, etc). I can send the guide straight to your inbox and the FULL version of this reel is up on my YoüTube 📺 I propagated two different kinds of scindapsus, a philodendron cream splash, and a pilea. The pilea pups I still have not repotted to this day 🫠. Everything did go into self-watering pots though, which I love love love because it makes my life easier when my plants can go weeks between waterings. I have never had a plant rot on me inside a self-watering pot (which is a top criticism) because I give my plants plenty of light ☀️💡 (sun or grow light). I did this all right before the Thanksgiving holiday when I was out of town for a week and everything thrived beautifully while I was away! Are you a fan of self-watering pots? . . . .

I put together a curated guide of small businesses I’ve been supporting over the years along with their Black Friday deals and discount codes. 👉Comment “GUIDE” and I’ll send directly to you! I’m proud to support the individuals behind these businesses 💕. P.S. Excuse my MIA-ness. I’m away with my family for Thanksgiving fully enjoying the opportunity to revert back to my childhood self because my in-laws feed me and play with my kids like they aren’t mine 😂. Does your family do traditional turkey 🦃 or eat whatever food your culture specializes in OR a combo of both? (I’m both!) . . . . . #plantsofinstagram #plantgram #plantparenthood #plantparent #plantmom #giftideas #blackfriday2024 #smallbusiness

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 Pictured: proof that I have more than just a lot of plants 🦖 💛, michelle

For the record, I’m allergic… 👉If you comment “MEOW” I can send you this cute propagation setup from @propagatingmonsters along with the plant probiotic drops I use when propagating plants. I have these cute prop stations in a few other designs and I love them! Plus, they’re on Black Friday sale right now so they make the perfect gift. I currently have my Dischidia Million Hearts variegated plant propagating in here. It’s been growing so well and even though I swore I won’t make duplicates of plants I already have, I couldn’t help myself. Propagations also make great gifts! What is a plant you can’t stop propagating? Please share! . . . . #plantsofinstagram #plantparenthood #plantmom #plantparent #plantgram #plantcare #houseplants #plantcollection #rareplants #diy #homedecor #propagation #succulents

I’ll just…never leave my house. 👉Comment “DETAILS” for my FREE GUIDE on prepping plants for vacation including Iinks to my favorite products (watering solution, pest soap spray, grow light automation, etc). As a teacher I remember whenever I was out, prepping lessons for a substitute teacher was always way more work than just staying…preparing plants for a vacation seems similar 😭 P.S. everything I share is simply my experience. As I always say, do what works for you and your environment and life style. (Translation - my chaos doesn’t have to become your chaos). What do YOU ALL DO when you have to leave for an extended period of time? . . . . #plantsofinstagram #plantparenthood #plantmom #plantparent #plantgram #plantcare #houseplants #plantcollection #rareplants #homedecor #pothos #philodendron #monstera Plant care tips for beginners, how to water houseplants, fertilizing plants, plant collection, rare plants, pothos, philodendron, monstera, moss poles, houseplant tips, plant parenthood
