HUGE Plant Haul & New Plant Care Routine Tips | Houseplant Chores | Social Media Trolls

I don't think I can order feminine products anymore and pass them off as plants 🥸

Now that it's officially spring time, I'm so happy to refresh my plant collection with some fun newcomers. The plants I unboxed include the following:
-Calathea White Fusion, Green Goddess, Medallion
-Monstera Thai Constellation
-Alocasia Variegated Frydek
-Variegated String of Hearts
-Pothos Golden Hi-Color

When bringing home new plants, my plant care routine is simple:

1. Inspect for pests
2. Clean the leaves
3. Pre-Treat for pests
3. Check soil moisture
4. Quarantine

Depending on the circumstance, I may repot the plants (if the substrate they came in was poor), but usually I leave plants alone for a few weeks to let them acclimate to my environment before I start un-potting and re-potting.

I used to just sprinkle some systemic pesticides on new plants and call it a day, but I found that a little extra care makes a big difference. I just assume new plants will come with pests either on the leaves or in the soil (or sometimes both). A simple wash/soak in a soap solution (linked below) and some diatomaceous earth have seemed to be sufficient for me to ensure my new plants don't transfer any unwelcome pests to the rest of my collection.

The reason plants look so amazing in nurseries and then show signs of decline once you bring them home are due to a variety of factors. In a nursery, the plant was in its ideal environment - high humidity from surrounding plants, ample light and feeding. Once you bring a plant home, the biggest difference is likely humidity and light. If you can replicate the tropical environment as much as possible by supplementing grow lights and keeping the humidity above 50%, your plants will likely show fewer signs of shock. With a little TLC, they will acclimate to their new home in no time.

Any wish list plants on your mind this spring?
