Are you supposed to trim off those bent stems from the birds of paradise?? I have a birds of paradise that I accidentally bumped into with my mattress (long story-moving furniture nyc apartment) Now I have three bent stems. Am I supposed to cut those off because they’re broken?

if they are still green, you can leave them, but it wont hurt to cut them off either as long as the plant still has other leaves.

My vote is for the cactus. You gave some very good reasons as to why, in addition I think another advantage is it will add a interesting change of level in the small cactus garden. This this will create a bit of a focal point and some extra drama in that garden bed too. Gotta love more drama in the garden!

Hey You! So sorry it took me so long to respond, for some weird reason this comment was in the spam section which i only check every few weeks... idk why youtube thought this was spam! Weird! Oh no! You put powdered sugar in the fish tank!? Well at least they have all had thorough water changes now! What a disaster that must have been to have to deal with unexpectedly! I have never put the DE directly into my tanks before, but have occasionally put it into my pleated micron filter pads to polish up the water when the main filter isn't pulling its weight. All of my tanks are in need of water changes, but the water pressure isn't enough all of the sudden to siphon water using the python water changer... i could just use a hose and buckets, but they are massive tanks, would take forever to use buckets to water change a 300 gallon saltwater and a 150 freshwater... need to just get a new faucet i think. ...always something! lol!

Those sweet potato vines blow me away. Calm down, guys! You can't go in the pool! I would go with more palms! Which is so surprising because I love succulents and cacti but you always have such good looking palms! I mean all your plants are fabulous but I love the whole tropical look. Also, I've noticed that a lot of the potting mixes seem to retain a lot of water, even the ones that claim to prevent soggy soil. It rains so much here in the summer that I'm finding so many plants that are just....drowning. Even my cactus mix is retaining too much water and it's so irritating. That Sago is out of control too. He took summer to heart and said, "I got this, fam." Can you guys grow coonties in your zone? They grow really well here and they're like the nice Sago. They don't get that hard and stiff. Plus an added bonus ....they look like dinosaur food. Who doesn't like prehistoric plants that look like a Brontosaurus would munch on? Samsung scares me. I still have my old Galaxy 5 and would love to get an update but I don't trust the new ones. Maybe I'm turning into one of those old buggery people who is afraid of technology. I guess I'm gonna have to get a Jitterbug. I just love your palms. I live in Florida and palms are a dime a dozen but yours look really, really nice. We have Chinese Fan Palms EVERYWHERE. You could trip over them when you go to the store. Ride or die plant party.

HAHA! They are growing like crazy! Those poor petunias are just being smothered, but is what it is, next year i'll just stick with the potato vines but i'll use a dark and light variety for contrast and color. I love how palms look too, but the votes are definetly leaning for me to do the desert planter. No big deal though, i have 3 large palms that all need new pots, so there will be plenty of palm planter videos to come! I've also noticed the soils holding onto moisture for a long time. I like to see it drain out at almost the same speed it is going in, and thats hard to pull off without just amending it. I'm glad the sago got its' ass in gear this year because last year it did nothing! ... which is my fault, needed a new pot, new soil and more sun... my bad! I was busy! lol. I was relieved when it starting pushing out new growth, i've it since i was a teenager, and it is so big! Would cost a fortune to buy a new one as large. No coonties, but i want some! One grower had some this year, but they were tiny and $50 wholesale! Neither one is hardy here, but there have been studies and reports of coonties and sagos coming back from the ground in zone 6 if mulched very heavily. I love how coonites look, i still am keeping an out for some! No you are right about your samsung. I got this new S8 active last summer, and it is nowhere as good as the S6 i had before it. The only reason i even got it is because the s6 only had 32gb of memory on it and i could put an sd card in it for more space. So i got the new one soley so i could put an sd card in it. Having someone in Florida tell me that they like my palms is a huge compliment, thank you! HAHAHA... Ride or Die! lol!

Hello, Michelle! What growing zone are you in? If it has a leaf I'd leave it and maybe tie it to a steak for stability so it doesn't flop around in the wind too much.

Even the largest bowls I'm finding are only about 10inches deep, which makes them 30 inches wide(diameter)..and oh my goodness are they expensive!
