hello welcome to this home updates so
I'm going to Vietnam in a couple of days
I'm going to be there for 10 days I'm
going with my dad and we're going to
stay at my grandparents house on their
Farm just visiting family and we're also
going to go to a wedding we're going to
a Vietnamese wedding so I'm kind of
excited for that cuz I've never been to
a Vietnamese wedding before I'm only
going to be there for 10 days so it's
not too long um but I do have some
things at the house that I want to get
done before I leave so it's just like a
mix of random things um I'm going to
also give some updates on the balcony
garden and what's been going on up there
also my parents and two of my brothers
are coming tomorrow we're just going to
hang out my mom's going to give me a
haircut before we go to Vietnam um and
we're going to like take care of the
Garden together and just hang out I'm
going to Vietnam with my dad but I'm not
going with my brothers or my mom the
first little update I wanted to do is in
the living room over here on this side
of the living room we used to have the
left seat here but then we gave it to my
little brother so now I'm mostly just
using this shelf as a growout area for
some of my plants so I have these track
lights up here these Soul Tech track
lights and then I have some other um
under the-shelf grow lights so because I
was struggl Ling with the space design
wise I decided I'm just going to use it
practically so I'm using it to grow some
of my plants that need a good amount of
light that I don't really know where to
place inside of the house for example I
have this cocama that I made recently
and it's growing so well looks very good
the Moss is also um growing out super
super nicely and then I have some little
seedlings that I'm growing out as well I
have a California morning glory and then
an Ever fres tree oh and then there's
this plant it's called
um white star grass so I'm getting this
plant ready to use for a COC display
that I'm going to make and I'm going to
make a video about making
cocas um so I needed to prepare some
plants so that's what I'm doing with a
lot of these plants I'm like preparing
them for something I'm going to do in
the future I have this gr light here and
I want to add another one underneath
this shelf because I have another girl
light so might as well use
it okay
[Music]
nice so I have a few plants that I want
to put down there underneath that grow
light um and then I'll also probably
have some little seeds that I start down
there too these two I'm the most excited
about um this is a this red one this is
a Euphoria conap foia also called smoke
bush tree and it has this really pretty
red foliage um I feel like it's not easy
to find red foliage
like this in a lot of house plants so I
love this deep red color um it lost a
lot of its leaves in transit but I'm
planning I think I'm going to chop one
of these back so that way it bushes out
a little bit more this next plant is
something I haven't heard anyone talk
about before it is a sparm Mania
Africana and I found this while on
Pinterest so I like a lot of like
British style interior design and I
noticed that a lot of them have this
tall ated Leaf house plant tree looking
thing inside of their house I reversed
image searched it and I found out that
it was this mine doesn't really look
like the Pinterest pictures yet but um
yeah I just need a place for it to grow
out and I might end up putting it
outside I'm just waiting maybe like a
week or two for it to um get used to
these conditions and then I'll look into
putting it outside but this is one I'm
pretty excited about I also received
some new furniture pieces from a brand
called song mics who is the sponsor of
this video so they recently launched
their Echo collection and from that
collection I got the shoe bench and the
lounge chair so the idea for this
furniture piece was to house the filter
for my aquarium and also the wires that
I need to keep it running and also as a
shoe storage however the doors on this
cabinet are not easy to open um they're
very like oh yeah doesn't sound good
right they're not very smooth and we end
up not actually putting any of our shoes
in here because it's just a hassle to
use it um so yeah they just end up on
the floor near the entryway so I got the
shoe bench from song miks and we are
going to use it to store our shoes it's
just like a lot more functional and it's
easy to get access to our shoes so this
is a good storage option for us and it
just cleans up this area and tights it
up um the it always like looked very
messy having the shoes all over the
floor and hello
Theo this was also super easy to put
together the instructions were very
clear I put this together in less than
like 15 minutes and also the materials
on this and the cushion um it's all
really nice and sturdy and then song
miks also sent this very comfortable Lou
oh hello
Theo and then um yeah they also sent
over this very comfortable lounge chair
also in the Echo collection the material
and the feel and the cushiness it's all
very nice I'll put the link to the chair
and the entryway shoe bench in the
description and thank you so much to
song mics for sponsoring this video okay
Theo we got to get up got to move on to
the next topic here's the money tree the
pure Aquatica that I repotted in my last
plant repotting video um let me move it
out of here because we don't have that
much sun right now so it's difficult to
see it I like how it looks a lot like
the light green with um the darker green
leaves I think it works well I wish the
trunk was a little bit bigger cuz
there's so much of this area that isn't
filled up um but that's
fine hi Theo he's Theo you're being so
clingy
lately but I added live moss on top and
I think it um looks pretty good it's
been on here for about 2 weeks now I
think um so it's doing pretty well it
still needs to
settle and establish a little bit more
but overall it's doing well I have live
Moss for sale now on my website it is
the same Moss that I use for all of my
plants and I package it and I ship it by
myself check it out it's on my store
I've been working on adding more
products to my storefront I got a lot of
like enjoyment from selling products I
don't know why but it's always been
something that I've been interested in
when I was like in third or fourth grade
I was selling Yu-Gi-Oh cards on eBay
um so I've always had like an
entrepreneurial spirit in me that's part
of the reason why I haven't been posting
as much this past month it's been kind
of hectic with me going to Vietnam in a
couple of days and then plant design
client stuff and then sponsorships and
um business things like trying to add
more products to my storefront and then
also doing my taxes I hate I hate doing
taxes but yeah I'm not really
complaining um cuz I I enjoy doing those
things other than taxes I don't like
doing tax but I like doing the other
stuff um but yeah look forward to more
products on my storefront the has been
so clingy lately so I think this started
when we had Thunder um when we had
Thunder was the first time that Theo has
been exposed to that and he was so
scared and like trembling and he would
always want to sit on my lap um and then
also when we had the winds that were
super loud and crazy he was also the
same and like so skittish and um yeah I
don't know ever since then he's kind of
just been like more attached to me which
may not be a good thing but I don't know
he just so cute okay so we have some new
plants here on this bench I moved the
books that over here cuz people were
like your books are going to get faded
from the sunlight so I moved them into a
less Sunny Spot over there um but let me
show you these new plants that I have
cuz yeah they're pretty cool I think the
First new one is this plant it's in a
Hami porcelain planter um but this is
called pesia the new leaves emerg this
reddish pink color um and I'm thinking
of Cho okay this whole video is just
Theo like jumping on me like this look
he just wants me to hold him look at
this see now he's content and then this
next plant is a strepto carpella and
look at these very beautiful purple
flowers I don't know if I've shown this
to you all already um but I can't
remember but yeah isn't this so cute and
it's a flowering plant indoors which is
really cool because typically you can't
find that many plants that flower indoor
and this one also flowers all the time
year round apparently and look at these
cute little flowers they look like
pinguicula
flowers um I also kind of like the
foliage it's like fuzzy and kind of soft
looking so my next plant is a cocama I
just made this maybe a week ago um it is
a Sephora prostrata and then the ball is
made with sheet Moss really like how it
looks so far and it's actually already
starting to put out new leaves which is
a little bit surprising to me I love
making COC Damas right now I'm really
into it um I have this cocama book that
I've been looking at for inspiration it
is called mosall
bonai and my favorite part is the end
where it gives a bunch of different
plans that you can use for cookie Damas
um a lot of these I can't find in the US
because
this book is written by a Japanese
person so they have different kind of
plants available to them in Japan this
is a south facing window so we get a ton
of direct light that comes in but I
think this is like double painted glass
and it has UV protection or something
because nothing ever Burns here even if
I put like um a plant that hasn't
acclimated to direct sunlight like
nothing ever Burns in this south facing
window because of all of the crazy winds
um all of the leaves on my lemon tree
blew off and almost all of the leaves on
my flowering Maple also blew off but
it's okay because I think those leaves
were on their way out anyway because on
the flowering Maple the only leaves that
are left are the new growth that's
coming out here is my tomato plant I
think this is like my plant that I'm
most excited for right now um yeah I had
to bring it inside because the wind was
just destroying this thing
also um I was already thinking this but
I did a lot of comments about it and
they're pretty much saying like you
shouldn't leave your pots on the wood
without a saucer um because you know it
can rot the wood because of all the
excess moisture so I am bringing up a
bunch of these bricks and I'm using them
um to elevate the planters that way the
moisture isn't just stuck on the bottom
the entire time in this planter I didn't
know what I wanted to put in here so I
decided let's just put in um California
native wildflower seeds so I had a seed
packet from Hardy Californians of people
that helped design my um native plant
garden um so yeah they gave me a seed
packet with a bunch of different wild
flowers so I just spread them around in
this bed and a ton of them are already
sprouting I think I might have put too
many seeds in so might need to do some
thinning out later I'm really excited to
see what all of my plants are going to
look like when I come back from Vietnam
because you know when you like see your
plant every day you can't notice the
change as much but if you if you're gone
for like 3 days or more um when you
return you really see you really see a
difference okay and then in this planter
oh there's always a ton of bees in this
but I planted the Rosemary and um it's
actually growing pretty well it's like
setting out new new growth and I like
how or I'm excited to see how it's going
to look when it kind of grows over this
um raised bed and then I had another
little tomato plant tomato seedling and
I just put it in here I don't know how
well it's going to do but yeah I just
have that in there um and then in the
middle section I planted a bunch of
water spinach seeds and they are
starting to sprout a little bit I see
some coming out of the ground and then
over here on this side I put a ton of
cilantro seeds so these are actually
cilantro seeds from my dad's Garden he
gave me these cilantro seeds last year
and I just planted them now but yeah so
many little salant plants and um cantro
is used a lot for Vietnamese dishes so
it's good to just have access to it all
the time I need to do a little bit of
reorganizing up here on the balcony I'm
going to do that off camera and then
later today Chris and are going to go to
Ikea and then my parents are coming
tomorrow morning and that's going to be
fun we're just going to like garden and
hang out I think it feels like it's been
a while since yall have seen my parents

and my brothers

so we have Big Bamboo over there Big
Bamboo over there yeah so I wanted to
cut that and then here I have um this is
the water spinach ra ra ra
[Music]
ra beautiful flow smells
good well I don't know do you think it's
too thick this is the bamboo that we're
going to use for the clothing line and
also to use it um to put up the
lights
[Music]
oh it's really
light you think it's
stuck
[Music]
okay 5
ft
oh
oh
bite
[Music]
okay okay we're actually going to go to
the Ace Hardware and get the clothing
line wire cuz we don't have the wire
we're going to look for different
options instead of using the Rope
because we think it'll look nicer and
also um it'll be more longterm which I
think would be good so we just got back
from the hardware store we have some
clothing line some clothing
pins um what is this and then here's
some Hardware we're going to try using
these and some washers to attach the
bamboo um to the support beams and then
this is what we're going to use
oops Christoper is laughing at okay and
then this is what we're going to use to
attach the clothing line to the
[Music]
bamboo now we're doing the holes for the
clo
line um so we drilled the other side
already so now we're just finishing this
off my dad knows like all types of
different knots I don't know where he
learned it from wait didn't we buy you a
knot book one time for like Father's
Day yeah let's go
back yeah there lot of different way of
doing it just one way and then it ties
oh yeah just yeah so now you tie it all
the way yeah yeah okay I remember I
think there you go one slide back here
you so we actually don't have a washer
or a dryer at our house so we go to the
laundromat so I feel like it'd be nice

lights up look at the clothes line I
