THIS soil mix is absolute GOLD I use a 3 part mix that I homemake myself. It consists of a super rich soil packed with worm castings, and kelp (to name a few) plus orchid bark and perlite. I buy 3 specific sized bags and mix them completely together for the perfect ratio! I linked everything in my bio under “my soil mix” or you can comment those words and I can message you if that’s easier! I’ll also link the container that I keep my soil in to keep it fresh and free of fungus gnats! Several years ago, I did what most people do and bought the generic store bought soil that’s labeled for houseplants. I was being flooded with gnats and my plants were dying left and right. It wasn’t until I understood how essential proper airflow and drainage is for the health of the plants roots that my plants started THRIVING. You cannot underestimate the importance of this step! All 250+ of my houseplants are in this mix and they are happy as can be ❤️ Follow for more houseplant help on your jungle journey 🥰 xo - Chantel

A repot that was long overdue ❤️ I’m so ready for her to get back to her best self! After we moved from Arizona to Iowa in the middle of winter she took a lot of cold damage, which I had to cut away. She’s been thriving though, constantly giving me new growth since Spring arrived! I figured I’d do her a favor and give her the repot she deserves since I found the perfect planter FINALLY. I’ll link the planter in my bio with my soil mix if you need it! Or comment “plant one on me” and I can message it to you if that’s easier! This planter is lightweight and an absolute steal for this size. You’ll have one happy Fiddle moving forward! Follow for more houseplant tips! xo - Chantel

Nothing could have prepared me for what joy our little Bird would bring ❤️ In case you’ve missed my stories lately here’s a new face you can expect to see 🥹 Birdie was given to us by a family member and we got to watch her grow from the time she was born until she was ready to come home. She is a mini Goldendoodle & Schnauzer mix ❤️ It absolutely melts my heart seeing my kids look at her the same way that I look at them 😭 nothing but love and admiration for this sweet girl. Such a precious thing deserves a permanent spot on the feed ❤️ plus, a jungle isn’t complete without a little Bird around 🤭 Head to the comments and welcome Birdie to the gram, plant fam! xo - Chantel

“Mom can I take some plant cuttings for my teacher?!” Had to reshare this video because as we near the end of the school year this would be a perfect teacher gift!! Little things like this feel extra special with my kids and I plus it’s easy and is totally free! In this case I bought a blank book vase and added “Surviving Third Grade” by “teachers name” and thought that was clever lol. We added a gift card to the side and gifted it on the first day of school! It was pretty amazing to see how these cuttings grew with the class throughout the year too 🥹 This book vase is linked in my bio under “plant essentials” and they come with letters to personalize it however you’d like! You can simply comment “plant essentials” too and I can message it to you if that’s easier! Follow for more tips and tricks on your houseplant journey ☺️ xo - chantel

I still remember the day I found her. Covered in spider mites in a local grocery store. I treated her and she absolutely thrived for years. Until we moved and she was exposed to freezing temps. Honestly, I’m shocked she even survived so this new growth brings me so much joy!! Should we keep her growing forever in water or plant her in soil? Follow along and watch her grow ❤️ If you’re new here, hi! I’m Chantel and I own over 250 houseplants and teach nearly a million fronds how to easily grow home jungles of their own.

This is the ONLY way I’ll grow a Calathea! I created this video when we lived in PHX before making the 1,000+ mile trek to Iowa. She survived the move however, she was buried in boxes and… 🥲 I have over 250 houseplants and I put off owning calathea for years to avoid the heart break. Growing calathea in water was absolutely unheard of at the time. I developed a love for growing plants in water (it’s beautiful, you don’t have fungus gnats, and it’s far less care compared to plants in soil), and a few years ago, I figured I’d try my hand at growing Calathea this way! At first I tried LECA and it was insanely easy and my Calathea thrived! I then decided - let’s go full hydro and only use water! My Pin Stripe Calathea here went into water, roots and all 7 months ago. She’s absolutely thrived ever since (aside from the one time she ran out of water for a few days and I didn’t realize it 😬 she lost alotta leaves and got crispy at the time). She’s got constant new growth, that’s healthier than any soil grown calathea I’ve ever seen! Heres my routine with her: I always add 1/4 strength HHHP fertilizer whenever the water is low (linked in my bio with a discount code). I typically just top the water off and keep it right at the base of the plant. Unless, the water/vase looks dirty, I’ll do a full change out! I try to only use distilled water and avoid tap. The salts and minerals and tap can potentially make her leaves get crispy if you have super hard water. I give her a full bath every few months to clean the foliage, (this increases growth because she’s capturing the maximum amount of sunlight she can). It also keeps her pest free because Calathea are a Spider Mites favorite snack, and they’ll pop up out of no where. I use Plant Soap for this which you can also put into a spray bottle and spray the plant down instead of submerging it like I did! That’s linked in my bio too under “plant spa day kit” If you’d rather me send you any of these links, comment “happy and hydro” and I’ll message you! Follow for more houseplant help!
