Tbh I’m not too mad at myself for that spending… it’s almost tempting me to break my plant ban 😈

    I don't want to know how much I've spent. I've never had any plants before and since May I went a little nuts and bought a lot of them. And pots and soil and pesticides and grow lights and a Rudsta. 😬

    The most I've spent on a plant was $38 dollars before taxes at Sobeys for a Calathea Makoyana or Peacock Plant. But I think that was before taxes 🤔

    all in all I feel like you didn't do too horrible I probably spent about that much from the time frame of like March to June I had to rebuild my collection cuz it all died last winter so kudos for you and awesome video as always

    This year I bought about 150 dollars on plants. I started buying on the month of November 2022 because the prices go down. I've got so many wish list plants at a very affordable prices. I'm done due to the change of the weather. So, saving my money plant budget for next year.

    Thanks for this video. I should ban myself from buying any more sensevieria in 2023. maybe for the 1st 6 months. I think I can do that. Hmmm…

    just calculated mine, I'm not surprised it was a little over 3k haha. I'm proud of myself for actually keeping track this year to hold myself accountable! i do NOT want to know what it would have been in 2020

    Due to space consraints, I have seriously limited plant purchases which is a good thing! Just did a summation (in googlesheet) for 2022 and its abt $300, not counting all the substrates I bought for diy pon. 🎄

    I worry about summer shipping(with high temps)as much as winter(at least winter you can get heat packs and insulation). I try to stick with spring and fall during milder temps.

    unpopular opinion: I STILL don't understand the hoya heads🤣
    to each their own, I love that people like them, but whenever I see them online or even in person, they just do nothing for me.
    Except maybe a little one with pink margins, I believe that's the crimson queen or something?
    Hold on.. did I just say I like a hoya after saying I don't like Hoyas?
    Maybe it's starting ..shit. 🤣

    I’ve seen variegated monsteras on sale for £70 and I’m soooo tempted, but I’m going to try and take things slow and get one in the future when I feel more experienced.

    At the moment I have around 80-90 plants, some on the rare side. The rare plants I have purchased have mostly been eBay bargains up to around £35. I’m trying not to spend more than that on a single plant at the moment – it feels too risky and I want to make sure that my hobby stays enjoyable and not too stressful 🐸

    Hopefully the value of variegated monsteras might reduce in the future anyway! 🌟

    I’ve not been doing so good mentally recently, and I’ve gone a bit overboard with buying houseplants :S all the plants I have purchased have been pretty good value though. The leafy boys just give me so much serotonin ❤️

    I’m so excited watching your plantmas videos 🎄✨ they make me so happy :3 you’re awesome! 💓

    girl I thought it would be a lot worst! well done you! I really like this type of content so def 💸💸💸 hoya's are the best!

    I loved this video😂 plants are seriously addictive and expensive, add on top of that substrates, equipment etc. I don’t feel as bad now sat here at 1.30am in the morning, having just ordered a mini greenhouse, extra fan and prop crates to acclimatise my impulse ecuagenera buy that’s arriving this week😳. I have filled my milsbo cabinet already. And I just know I’m going to end up getting another cabinet soon😂. But I’ve worked hard as a single mum to 3 for years, they’re all grown up now so I’m enjoying spending my money on what I enjoy, and treating myself for a change. I should look back on how much I’ve spent this year, but ignorance is bliss lol

    That is a good idea to keep track of the spending aspect of plant buying, I may have to try that for 2023. Thank you for the idea.
