Lauren Olson (she/her): um can you guys see it okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Alright, so today's workshop is on indoor gardening um so we're going to get started with the presentation and then we're going to do a small craft and then we're going to do a Q amp a.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And since it's mid term we're going to really try and get you guys out of here like within the hour try not make it too long.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Before we get started.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Already did that do the land acknowledgement so as an organization within a land grant institution dig the campus garden coalition acknowledges that the GAVI Lino and tanga peoples are the traditional land caretakers of the two longer.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): All right, and then Emily is going to go ahead and get started with a little video so i'll stop sharing now.
Emily (she/her): Okay, so.
Emily (she/her): The video that i'm going to be sharing with you guys it's about four minutes long um.
Emily (she/her): and hold on i'm trying to like.
Emily (she/her): Work i'm getting to work.
Emily (she/her): Okay, let me know if the audio is weird and I can stop the share and then like redo it.
Okay.
Emily (she/her): Sorry i'm having such issues right this moment.
Emily (she/her): Do you guys see it.
Emily (she/her): Like.
Emily (she/her): yeah do you hear things.
Emily (she/her): Okay.
Yuerong Xiao (she/they): guys go.
Emily (she/her): Over to urban garden.ca as fall takes hold on the garden outside South for the winter I love to start to grow inside my house.
Emily (she/her): On today's video i'm going to give you some quick tips on getting set up growing indoors hopefully growing outdoors growing indoors does not have the complex for expensive.
Emily (she/her): In order to grow indoors you'll need three main things soil light and the seeds.
Emily (she/her): So unless the most important part about growing indoors typically I grown a very simple mixture of one part soil is potting mix and one part compost.
Emily (she/her): The soil is putting makes will hold water, while allowing free drainage in the pot.
Emily (she/her): This is important, as most of the issues indoor growers encounter has to do with overwatering and the soil being too saturated for too long, there are usually enough.
Emily (she/her): In the compost to completely eliminate the need for fertilizer products during the indoor growing season I typically like to purchase these products.
Emily (she/her): near the end of the season when they're on sale, the reason that I like to purchase these products, as opposed to make the myself is that they're fairly devoid of life.
Emily (she/her): Specifically, this is important for pests, if you bring in a past from say accomplice that you've made.
Emily (she/her): And it is able to get going in doors it's not regulated by the predators that would regulate it outside.
Emily (she/her): I mean can cause a lot of damage very quickly now that we have the soil dealt with the next most important part is the light the plants need to grow.
Emily (she/her): light, as you can imagine, is a very important part of growing indoors if you have a self or south west facing window in the northern hemisphere or a North facing.
Emily (she/her): window in the southern hemisphere, you can take advantage of the free sunlight I built a shelf under myself facing window to take advantage of the natural light coming through it in the winter.
Emily (she/her): If you don't have access to a window like line, you can use girl likes to grow indoors during the winter.
Emily (she/her): If you start doing research and to grow lights are going to find terms like nanometers wavelength kelvin lumens lots.
Emily (she/her): Well, I have gone into great depth into this subject in the past, inner row lights can really be boiled down to two simple tips.
Emily (she/her): pick the right type of light bulb incandescent bulbs don't work very well, but compact fluorescent and fluorescent light bulbs do work very well.
Emily (she/her): There are more expensive options such as led and high pressure sodium let just to name a few but for what I want to achieve, I will stick with a more affordable fluorescent lights.
Emily (she/her): The second thing I recommend is to look for a bulb that has the hot what's available in the right kelvin rating, you were looking for kelvin rating of 6500 or 2100.
Emily (she/her): There are tools online that translate the Descriptions such a soft white.
Emily (she/her): into the kelvin rating lights, with different kelvin ratings may work, but they will be far less efficient and you may not be able to harvest any crops from under them.
Emily (she/her): The final thing you will need is to grow, unlike outside inside your House using either window or grow lights, there are a few limitations to what you can grow winter light by its nature, is a little bit weaker.
Emily (she/her): And once it comes through this glass it loses a little bit of its power as well.
Emily (she/her): And there's no real light that can even come close to replicating the natural light during summer, you can push the limits with some very expensive equipment, but for the most part, I like to keep things simple and focus on the cross I know work well indoors under lower light conditions.
Emily (she/her): a cornerstone of my winter garden is herbs and leafy Greens.
Emily (she/her): leafy greens and herbs are well established to grow and lower light areas, making them perfect candidates to grow indoors later in the season, I do start some of my summer crops inside, such as peppers and tomatoes.
Emily (she/her): But I don't really push them to produce well some of the smaller body peppers and tomatoes will produce inside.
Emily (she/her): Generally, the crops are quite small.
Emily (she/her): Well, the plan takes up a lot of this valuable grow space that I have with that in mind, I do like to experiment and enjoy harvests of peppers and tomatoes, when I have the space available over the long cold winter months.
Emily (she/her): Korean doors during the winter allows me to harvest fresh herbs and leafy Greens like a wonderfully with the preserve crops from my summer garden or more in depth look at grow lights or anything else that i've spoken about today check out the link on screen now and.
Emily (she/her): Okay, so before we move on, I just wanted to say that the reason I chose that video.
Emily (she/her): was because I thought he gave a lot of good ideas on.
Emily (she/her): Not only he talked he talked mostly about producing plants, but when you consider what you want to grow inside there are multiple factors that you want to consider.
Emily (she/her): such as the soil, I feel like something I hadn't heard often before, watching that video was like.
Emily (she/her): If you're going to grow something inside you probably shouldn't take dirt directly from your garden because there's no way to get rid of those pests, so that was I thought that that was a valuable piece of information um yeah lauren do you want me to share my screen.
Lauren Olson (she/her): I can go ahead and again.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay um.
Lauren Olson (she/her): All right, Emily if you want to go ahead and get started talking a little bit more about houseplants.
Emily (she/her): yeah.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Of course, thank you.
Emily (she/her): So.
Emily (she/her): Even though that's not really what the video was on that's okay houseplants very, very fun um but to get started with the indoor gardening basics for houseplants.
Emily (she/her): you're going to want to make sure that whatever plant you do decide to get or that you already have that you're not over watering it.
Emily (she/her): And to do so, you can look up the kind of plant that you have you can look up the watering schedules, you can look up you know.
Emily (she/her): The kinds of soils that you might use or make sure that your that your soil has a good way to drain one way to test, if you have a really good.
Emily (she/her): If you're overwatering are under watering is like it says to stick your finger one to two inches into the soil to feel if it has dried out.
Emily (she/her): I was talking to a gardener a couple months ago, when I had gotten a houseplant and she said to like take the tips of your fingers.
Emily (she/her): And kind of like press down, and if you feel moisture you should not water, yet that was kind of that was kind of how she explained it to me, but there are multiple ways to test.
Emily (she/her): And then also, of course, seeing feeling how heavy it is if there's a lot of water stuck in the plant still it's going to be heavier.
Emily (she/her): And then I feel like this bottom point is also very important, depending on what kind of plant how big your plant is what kind of soil you're using.
Emily (she/her): If it's in direct sunlight, it will need more water but oftentimes it doesn't matter how much water you're doing it matters how often.
Emily (she/her): yeah and then this is a helpful little chart on the right of signs of overwatering and signs of under watering for plants and not all plants will have the same.
Emily (she/her): Like signs, I guess, but that's it's more general.
Emily (she/her): For soil.
Emily (she/her): Most plants use regular potting soil, but for cactus cacti and other kinds of very particular plants that have certain soil specifications.
Emily (she/her): For cacti, for example, you'd want to mix with paralyzed or small rocks for better drainage.
Emily (she/her): I know that when you're doing.
Emily (she/her): When you're like making like cuts like we talked about a couple.
Emily (she/her): workshops ago you'd want to use sand at the bottom because sand is a very good it's very good with drainage.
Emily (she/her): You can put topsoil with small rocks to keep pests and fun guy away or you can use compost and then for sunlight.
Emily (she/her): I would say that the cacti soil specifications would be similar to succulents, but I think it might depend on the cacti like that's probably something that you could look up and like find, for your specific cactus.
Emily (she/her): um for sunlight.
Emily (she/her): Just like.
Emily (she/her): You know, just like with outdoor plants, you want to make sure that the plant that you have is in a place where it will receive the proper amount of sunlight and like they said in the video.
Emily (she/her): it's going to be important, like where you have it, so if you have an ability to put a plan in a window so that gets a lot of sunlight put that plant in the window so because it's gonna want that.
Emily (she/her): 12 to 16 hours a day about, and then the same amount of time whether you're using natural or man made light.
Emily (she/her): And then try not to put plans in direct sunlight, so they aren't overexposed but with grow lights you don't need to worry about that as much.
Emily (she/her): Okay, and then for fertilizer.
Emily (she/her): I feel like at my own garden at home i'm always trying to find good fertilizer.
Emily (she/her): So you're if you have a fertilizer that you use often and you decide to change it, make sure to slowly adjusted so start using small like bigger and bigger increments like it says to wean them off when heading into winter.
Emily (she/her): Start fertilizing as the weather warms and use fertilizer every eight weeks.
Emily (she/her): In summer fertilized according to your fertilizers instructions and do not fertilizer and winter something else about.
Emily (she/her): fertilizers is that you're if you're using a.
Emily (she/her): Chemical based fertilizer you're going to want to make sure to be very careful, where you put that on the plant, because some fertilizers, can have the tendency to burn leaves and you don't want your leaves stubborn if you're using fertilizer.
Emily (she/her): Easy DIY fertilizers.
Emily (she/her): i'm ready made sorry i'm reading alexander's like comment for ready made liquid fertilizers, are mixing them yourself, I personally use I started using this after I saw.
Emily (she/her): People at the dig garden use it, but I use fish fertilizer which is just like ground up fish and you dilute it yourself, but I find that works really well with my garden.
Emily (she/her): um but it's like a concentrate and you can buy it at.
Emily (she/her): Like garden supply stores.
Emily (she/her): um and then other easy do DIY fertilizers or coffee grounds eggshells and banana peels.
Emily (she/her): houseplants for every situation.
Emily (she/her): plants that are easy to care for include snake plants host piece lily plants that like lots of light aloe Vera jade plants.
Emily (she/her): plants that do well in low light are include IV plants, I don't know how to say this, but as easy plant i'm just gonna put that out there.
Emily (she/her): plants that need little water or spider plans and saga palm I would say, for when you have a plant that says it needs a little water.
Emily (she/her): The easiest thing to do is to kill it by overwatering it and you're like oh i'm going to water this amount of time.
Emily (she/her): i'm not this amount of time i'm going to water like once a week or whatever, and then you just kind of get into the habit of like watering once a week.
Emily (she/her): And then forget to like check your plant to make sure that it's not being over watered that can be one way to kill a plant that needs very little water.
Emily (she/her): And then cool and then usual indoor plants.
Emily (she/her): Martin you're gonna have to help me with this.
Emily (she/her): Mary mo Mary mo Is that how you say that.
Lauren Olson (she/her): i'm not exactly sure I think it's more remote but.
Lauren Olson (she/her): tick tock so that's where i'm getting my knowledge on this matter.
Emily (she/her): Oh funny.
Emily (she/her): Okay.
Emily (she/her): Thank you, Marina last fall's so.
Emily (she/her): They can be ordered online, and you can cut them into smaller pieces to create even more mothballs, let us so cute and then you can use them as often decoration I think that is so adorable I love, how it has like the photo has little pieces of wood in it.
Emily (she/her): And then also Venus Flytrap you can keep them in your kitchen to get rid of flies and other insects.
Emily (she/her): To fertilize all you have to do is feed it insects and then.
Emily (she/her): In the spring, when they flower remove the flowers for larger traps, I did not know that, but that is so cool.
Emily (she/her): that's very interesting I like it, I like.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah and I actually have a friend who just got a Venus Flytrap for.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Her apartment and because they had a fly problem, like in there, like right next to their fruit bowl i'm like where they kept their fruit on your counter they put out a Venus Flytrap and now they like don't get any flies at all so.
Lauren Olson (she/her): it's very useful plant Okay, so now we're going to talk more about growing food indoors.
Lauren Olson (she/her): um so one indoor gardening setup is obviously natural light like he was talking about in the video, and it can help with like small plans and limited quantities of food.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Because you're using natural light you're probably not going to have that much space it's likely you're just growing on a countertop or maybe a shelf like.
Lauren Olson (she/her): That guy was so it's a good option for small things like herbs and whatnot and then the only thing about gardening with.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Will another limitation of gardening with natural light is that it's not great in winter months, and especially not if you're living in like a really cold climate because you're not going to be getting that much sunlight.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So your plants aren't going to want to grow, or if you're starting seeds they're probably not going to want to sprout.
Lauren Olson (she/her): But if you're living somewhere that's really warm and sunny especially like California has been this year, you might be able to get away with it.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then you're just going to want to place your plants near a window or on a window sill and indirect sunlight.
Lauren Olson (she/her): In the colder months, though it doesn't matter so much whether the light is direct or indirect, but if you put a plant in the south facing window in the summer, it might get a little bit toasty.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And because still facing windows, are the ones that get the most sunlight and then, as far as energy costco this.
Lauren Olson (she/her): This type of gardening setup is free of course you're gonna be spending money on things like seeds and pots and whatnot, but you can also like save money there by collecting seeds are propagating or like reusable containers, or like egg cartons like this picture.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, and then another option is led grow lights or grow lamps, so this is also, if you want to be growing in like a smaller format indoors.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And it can also help out with your House plants, if you see some that are like kind of struggling put them under the girl light for a bit and help them out.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And the only thing with this option is that it doesn't.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Provide light super evenly like if you're just going to be putting an led light bulb in like a desk lamp like this it's convenient, because then it's really portable and it's not taking up that much space, but.
Lauren Olson (she/her): you're not going to get a really even distribution of light so some plants might be doing better than others, you might have to kind of move it around.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then there are other larger lamps like this.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Where it comes with like big strips and that's going to help cover more area but.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Again you're still not going to be able to be growing that much with a setup like this, so you can put like an led light bulb or a.
Lauren Olson (she/her): fluorescent light bulb and a lamp and then just pointed at your pots or your plugs if you're trying to.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Start seeds and then this option is like pretty cheap it's pretty affordable so like for an led light bulb it's like about $11 per bowl.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then, a cheap option is just to stick it in like a lamp you already have or get like a cheap desk lamp but then bigger lamps like like this one, here they go for about $45.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, so, then you can also garden indoors with light straps or DIY grow light shells, this is a bit more of an undertaking, but.
Lauren Olson (she/her): With this format, you can grow like larger amounts of food, just because you know there's there's more space to do it you're getting more light.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You can also grow higher energy foods i'll talk a little bit more about what I mean by that later, but yeah you can grow like a wider variety of things it doesn't just have to be things that do well and, like the cold or sprout really easily.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So you can buy these like led light strips.
Lauren Olson (she/her): For like 40 ish on Amazon.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then you can choose like how you want to mount them i've seen them where you like by shelving kind of like over here, and then you match it to the shelving i've also seen somewhere you just.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Now that underneath your kitchen countertop that's a really nice way to save space to.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then, a lot of them come with timers and brightness controls so, then you just set a timer for how long you want to be on.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Then you don't have to worry about it, you don't have to worry about how bright it's going to be.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Some of them also come with like different color options, so if it's nighttime and you don't want a super harsh light shining into your kitchen living room wherever you can change it to maybe like a red or a blue light.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So yeah this operating costs like 40 to 100 that's not including like shelving or.
Lauren Olson (she/her): However, else you decide to send up.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, and then there are also a lot of very fancy and regarding setups these are pretty costly, but some of them are all are also.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Pretty cool you can grow pretty much anything that you could grow with light strips it's just that you don't have to go through the hassle of like coming up with your own shelving unit and putting it all together.
Lauren Olson (she/her): which would be especially hard if you're like in an apartment and don't have like tools available.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And there are also options to get things like a hydroponic setup.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So it comes already equipped to grow in that style it's just a really nice like hands off way of gardening almost.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So yeah you can just search like grocery shelves and a million different options will come up, there are some that are like small enough to fit on your countertop and then there are other months that are like.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Like the one on the right that take up a bit more space, but you can do a lot with them yeah so they range like $152,000 so pretty pricey but.
Lauren Olson (she/her): If you're really interested in growing indoors on a large format might be something you want to look into.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, and so, then foods, you can grow indoors so low energy foods, these are things that you can grow, like any time of year pretty much using like a bulb or natural light and.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So these are things like micro Greens or leafy Greens like Aruba and baby lettuces or herbs and then I also saw this really cute idea of growing fairy carrots so it's.
Lauren Olson (she/her): it's this picture here, and you just like plant carrot seeds and like a little mason jar or something and they grow these little add carrots and it's some of them turn out like.
Lauren Olson (she/her): like the ones you may have seen in like imperfect foods, where it looks like they're hugging or like it looks like a little person.
Lauren Olson (she/her): might not be the most effective for growing like lots of food to eat, but I think it's like you'd idea and can also grow radishes kale bok choy so i'm for low energy foods and foods, where you're not going to need like as expensive or as much light.
Lauren Olson (she/her): These are things that are like quick growing and don't really flower or fruit, these are things where like while you're eating or while you're growing it's pretty much just like leaves and route.
Lauren Olson (she/her): That tends to do better with less light and then you can also grow some higher end, excuse me, high energy, food So these are things that you might want to use like an led lighting setup for whether that's like the light strips or you're purchasing like an inclusive system.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So these are things like tomatoes and strawberries and peppers and you can also grow like dwarf citrus trees i've seen people do that.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You for the dwarf citrus trees, it might be better to have like a grow light bowl or something that you can just like point one source of light at the tree directly on to make sure it's getting all the light it's need needed can also grow peas and other routing plants.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then for high energy foods, these are also things that you can grow like in the summer, using natural light, but these are things I like if you're trying to grow them indoors in the winter you're probably going to need a lot of light to do that.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay um so for potting you're going to want to use deep containers for things that like to grow underground where you're going to need a lot of root space so things like carrots and turnips, but it can be done, they just might not turn out super big or you might get.
Lauren Olson (she/her): them kind of tangled up like I was saying, with the ferry carrots.
Lauren Olson (she/her): can also use plug flats to maximize space, and that also works really well for things that.
Lauren Olson (she/her): don't need to grow that big so like if you're doing micro greens and that kind of stuff.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You can also reuse old plastic containers or paper towels you can see here like on the right they kind of like turned an old toilet paper roll into like a little pot.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And what's cool about these I seem like if you start seeds indoors this way.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You can just plant those like straight into the ground if you want, because the role is biodegradable but then i've also heard that like that way.
Lauren Olson (she/her): it's harder for the roots to grow out because they are a bit constrained but.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Even so, if you end up planning out of these, then you can throw the old role in the compost or whatever, and then, if plans get too big to grow any larger in their pot.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You might notice like roots coming out of the bottom, or it stopped growing then just plant them into bigger part with more soil.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then same as like houseplants you can just use like a normal potting mix.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then, if you have like especially deep pockets, that you don't necessarily need, like all that depth for roots or whatever.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You can use like upside down yogurt cups and place them in the bottom and then just poke holes in them and then put the soil over the top, and then that saves you some soil.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Not that soil is that expensive obviously like your gardening indoors on a budget, maybe you want to get the most out of it that you can.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, so now we're going to move on to our craft So if you.
Lauren Olson (she/her): got supplies, or have supplies with you go ahead and grab those now, so I was just the string and then.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Your potted plant and then some tape also might be useful um if you are going to be doing this, maybe you can use this time as like.
Lauren Olson (she/her): A little bathroom break or go get some water or something and then we're going to come back for questions after okay so i'm going to get my other video setup so I can do the tutorial will everybody goes and get supplies okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): well.
Lauren Olson (she/her): i'm away until.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Thanks amanda.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, wait until some more people come back, I know there were others that had signed up for supplies.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, maybe like when you're ready to go if you're planning on doing this, just like give me a little thumbs up.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay looks like people are ready, so go ahead and get started.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, so to start you're going to.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Just take all your strings kind of like this was hard it's hard watching myself on two screens.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So you're going to take your string and you're going to just.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Take a few inches from the top.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then you're going to tie it into a knot, and this is going to be the bottom of the planter so you can make the strings that are dangling longer or shorter, if you want just kind of depends on the look you're going for.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Because this is going to be like hanging from the bottom, and then the weaving that's going to hold your plantar is going to come up from it okay so.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Should just look like this just a simple not and then, if you have tape now is probably.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Oh sorry.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah So if you didn't see the supplies us or didn't sign up yet.
Lauren Olson (she/her): you're going to want eight pieces of string and they should each be like 100 centimeters long or so.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then also, I believe there was a link to a video the video that i'm kind of like going off of your.
Lauren Olson (she/her): If you want to make this later.
Lauren Olson (she/her): As far as material goes.
Lauren Olson (she/her): I think you could probably use either Alexander but it just should be something that's durable.
Lauren Olson (she/her): that's not going to like break as soon as you put a plant in it so maybe not like yarn or something but um any like twine or string or like thicker string should do okay so then you're going to take your tape.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And tape it down it kind of starts to get like a friendship bracelet, if you remember, making those it's very much the same kind of logic so just tape it down so it's a bit easier to.
Lauren Olson (she/her): to tie the other strings together.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So everybody got that step.
Lauren Olson (she/her): All right, i'll give a minute.
Lauren Olson (she/her): everybody's back um okay so go ahead and type it down that's where we left off, and you don't need to either, but it just makes it quite a bit easier.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Then just kind of straighten them out a bit and then what you're going to start doing is planning out your strings which you can kind of see him better and then you're just going to take two pieces, at a time.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So to start you're going to take two pieces together like this, it can be any two pieces it doesn't matter and then you're going to kind of like just take your plan and like eyeball measure.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Like the radius of the bottoms are it's kind of hard to see but you're going to want it to be long enough, that it can kind of go across the bottom part of the planter.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Oh so like this part you should just be like this long in relation to your planter so then you're going to take those two strings at that length and tie them in and not.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Just pull it through and then you're going to take the rest of them in groups of two and tie them at that same length.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Also, let me know if i'm like not being clear at any point, or you need more time.
Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): um i'm using what i'd say is a small pot.
Lauren Olson (she/her): I don't know exactly and inches or anything but um this has like.
Lauren Olson (she/her): This.
Lauren Olson (she/her): What am I saying the strings for this should be long enough to accommodate like a small or medium sized spot I also I did it earlier.
Lauren Olson (she/her): I did it before on this planet, that I have, and you can see it's like quite a lot bigger and there's still plenty string to do it with apotheosized so um.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah so I wouldn't worry too much about.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Size just as long as it's not a giant plant um okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): finished time those off.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Alright, so then.
Lauren Olson (she/her): you're going oh taking.
Lauren Olson (she/her): hold on okay so then you're gonna kind of spread them out.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So each is going in a different direction kind of like this.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You can see and then what you're going to do is you're gonna take.
Lauren Olson (she/her): one.
Lauren Olson (she/her): From.
Lauren Olson (she/her): One from each you're going to do it to the one like right next to it so i'm going to be connecting a string from this one and.
Lauren Olson (she/her): This one this one, and this one, this one, and this one, this one, and this one, if that makes sense, so then i'll start with these two so i'm going to take one string from each.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And i'm going to.
Lauren Olson (she/her): kind of smooth them out of it and then you're going to end up tying it at kind of the same length as you did this, so I tied this these knots this long i'm going to start tying these ones, about the same way.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So start by tying these two together.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, and then, if you need to you can kind of like open it up as you're going to make sure you're attaching the right strings.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So now i'm going to connect these two.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Again, just at kind of the same length as the last ones.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, you can kind of see starting to form a bit of a pattern here.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Alright, so now i'm going to connect to these two.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Last two together.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So when you open it up, you can kind of see oh it's hard to see that way you can kind of see it's like a little square ish.
Lauren Olson (she/her): um how's everybody doing.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Do you need more time on the step, are you good amanda you look like you're stressed on a bit.
Amanda Sirisoma: I need to do the last.
Lauren Olson (she/her): night and then okay yeah that's fine i'll give a little bit more.
Time.
Vanessa: So you're just connecting to adjacent strings to each other is that right.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah you just time, no, no.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, and so, then the next step you're going to be doing the same thing just time to adjacent strings together but it's just going to be a little bit harder to tell.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Which to you're supposed to be tied together now, so I like to open it up and look at it like this, and then you can see kind of here.
Lauren Olson (she/her): i'm going to be connecting this one, and this one, and then this one, and this one, this one, and this one, this one, this one, you get the general idea and then again you're just going to be kind of doing at like the same length as the last two.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So pull these together.
Lauren Olson (she/her): kind of look and see how long tying it up okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah so just kind of kind of do the same thing as the last.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Step again.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Open it back up again to look.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Not do these two.
Lauren Olson (she/her): open it up to.
Lauren Olson (she/her): connect these two now.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, so that was pretty much the last of the naughty made it through so just let me know when you're done that, and there's just one more step.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Go ahead.
Lauren Olson (she/her): So then, when you open it up.
Lauren Olson (she/her): In a separate out.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You should see like this little.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Little basket kind of structure.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, and then i'm just going to go ahead and show the last step because it's it's really easy it's easy to remember, so, then you just open it up and then you stick your plant in the mill.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then you just bring all the ties the top guys can see their.
Lauren Olson (she/her): turn off my back.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Okay, so then you're just.
Lauren Olson (she/her): This This is like a couple pounds, but the other planter that I have is like it's pretty solid it's pretty heavy it's like a terracotta pot, and it did find it held up when I put in this.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah so then you're just going to take all of your strings kind of bring it up to the top and then you're going to tie it, however high you want it to be hanging and then just do it in a not like that first not we did, and then you're done that's it.
Okay.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah, so there is can see.
Lauren Olson (she/her): can isolate planter.
Lauren Olson (she/her): yeah.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Oh, thank you um yeah and then you can kind of cut the bottom, however long you want to cut the top however long you want it.
Lauren Olson (she/her): And then you can just hang this from wherever you want.
Lauren Olson (she/her): You might want to just kind of check the bottom and make sure that all of like the ties are kind of like evenly spaced out so it's not going to fall through or anything but it shouldn't anyways.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Thanks to the NASA I cannot take credit for any of this this is somebody else's tutorial i'm just showing you guys.
Lauren Olson (she/her): Oh man, thank you.
Lauren Olson (she/her): All right.
