  2. I'm a Freshwater Aquarist and I just want to say thank you for adding Aquarium Water to the list of Fertilizers, some people may not know that, thanks! ????????????

  3. To be quite honest I’ve been fertilizing my plants year round and they never stopped growing like crazy

  7. I have a question about if you are treating a plant for a disease, can you also feed it? ???? thanks for sharing your videos with us ❤

  8. Oh great Amanda, I know that when spring does arrive that I have fertilized my plants, and our weather here in Idaho has been so crazy, and hopefully spring will get here and I am so ready for great warmer weather. Thanks for your wonderful advise and sharing this great video, I hope that you have a blessed and beautiful rest of your day, sending love and hugs, bye! ????????????????????????????????

  9. Once after I fertilized with fish emulsion, my son asked why our house smelled like Montauk ????

  10. "Captive plants need to be fed like you would any prisoner. You need to be kind to your prisoners."

    Alright, I guess I'll have to get around to figuring out what I can get here ????

  11. Another tip: soil gets compacted over time and eventually quite hydrophobic with age. You pour water into the pot, and it runs straight on through without even wetting the soil below an inch, right? To fix that, just get some of that Seventh Generation biodegradable, plant-based, free & clear dish soap and add a few drops into a gallon of water. Mix it gently and water as normal. The soap is a surfactant. It breaks the surface tension of the water and allows it to penetrate deep into the grains of soil that have compacted and clumped together tightly with age. You'll notice the water "wicks" into the soil very easily with that tiny bit of soap added in. It's called "liquid aeration" and professional landscapers do it to ornamental lawns alllllllll the time. 🙂

  12. Question: i keep fish would it be ok if i use that water ????????obviously i would dilute it but i literally have free fish emulation ????????????

  13. I love to fertilize my plants. ???? They respond so well. My love grew (heh, pun) when I started to take care of my mom's lawn a couple years ago. She was in an HOA. Needed to be pretty. Anyway, I learned all about Bermuda grass and the overseeded Rye. Got the Rye real dark green, thick, and tall by throwing down lots of nitrogen and iron. Come Spring, I punched the Bermuda in the face with a ton of nitrogen and it accepted the challenge. That lawn was gorgeous. So now I fertilize everything, even my propagation cuttings!!! I put the cuttings into distilled water at first, but once they have roots starting to grow I add a hydroponics fertilizer at 1/2 strength. We are asking our cuttings to grow, so we have to give them the supplies and building blocks needed to do it! 🙂 Sunlight is plant food too though, don't forget that. Lack of light will stunt all plants, even if some are more willing to be mistreated than others. ????

  14. I have two fish tanks and Plants. i'm gonna kill two birds with one stone when I do water changes in my fish tanks

  15. I just started my indoor plant journey last year and now that's its spring, everything is giving me new leaves. So i will be fertilizing ny plants

  16. Amanda lives up to the hype ???? I weakly fertilize almost every time I water. I’ll flush them when I put them in the shower to wash off the dust.

  17. I love your videos. You're so real 1st of all. You get to the point. And, I have learned so much from you.

  18. Hi, if I add worm castings in my soil mixture for potting/repotting my indoor plants, do I still fertilize every few weeks or is the worm castings enough?

  19. Thank you for sharing all those beautiful amazing house plan lovely collection you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Easter weekend

  21. No one on YouTube has more gorgeous plants than Planterina. She says fertilize your plants so imma fertilize my ????????

  23. Do you still use worm castings tea? Could you make a video for us on how you make worm castings tea? Or your version of it. Please and thank you! ❤

  27. Fertigate.. LOL thats i guess what i do with the "weakly weekly" thought, except I don't water weekly, I water when the plant actually needs watered! I think my plants appreciate it as they are all putting out new growth and they only stopped for about 2 weeks in the fall before the furnace was on when it was getting cool in the house at night, they all sorta took a 2 week vacation during that time. The only leaves I have lost are the bottom leaves and not at an unexpected rate, so I think they are doing okay. All of my plants have been using an orchid fertilizer that has some insane numbers. I think the NPK is 19-37-17 LOL the one I just bought is a liquid and its a 4-4-6 I believe. I figure if it isn't appreciated inside then the outside plants will use it, if it ever stops snowing! I am in Canada so I plan to get some dynagrow that I see other Canadians using a lot with great plants, but I haven't seen it in our store yet. It's a 9-3-6 IIRC. I had planned to use fish emulsion but last year when I asked about it I believe here, I was told that it does seem to attract pets, my dog has a natural hunt instinct so to save the plants I am saving the fish. I did use a phytoplankton for awhile but I honestly didn't feel it did anything except cost a lot!

  29. They collect bat guano by scraping it up off the floors of the caves they live in. It's a dangerous job, the fumes are awful!
