So some jealous Karen neighbors out where I stay out called the fire marshal and complained about my plants on the balcony I now I have to bring in all my plants. They can't be outside. The fire marshal said it was a fire hazard and somebody might trip. ðŸĪĶ‍♀ïļ. My plants have been sitting on that balcony in the summer for 2 years. Never any complaints. I had to bring in 30 plants. So of course I had to order another grow light 🙄. Not too sure about the placement. I feel like just the front ones are getting light. I might have to crawl my old fat butt on top of the fridge to play around with placement of the light. #happyplants #hoyahangout #hoyaheads #plantcorner #plantlove #plantsmakepeoplehappy
That's so annoying, I would be so mad ðŸ˜ĄðŸ˜Ą
@planthoe40 Ugh, sorry to hear about your busy body neighbor 😒 Your plants look great all nestled on top of your fridge though!
That’s wild. Is the balcony the fire escape? This seems off.
@planthoe40 some people are just angry at the world and look for people to drag into their misery. ðŸ˜ĪI’m so sorry you had to deal with this ðŸ˜Ē
I’m so sorry that happened Misty. Some people just have nothing else to do but be miserable and try to drag other people into their misery. On the positive side your plants look great. If I may suggest do not place the grow lights too close. Place your arm at the point where the plant meets the light if it’s too hot on your arm it’s too hot for the plant. Good luck and all the best. Bob 👍✌ïļ
@8elephantsdance the balcony is a shared balcony for 4 apartments. It's the only way up and down. But they've been out there during the summer for 2 years. The property manager said 2 years ago it wasn't a problem. There was plenty of space to walk by.
@FunBoglaurel81 trust me I am. Karma tho.
Haha, true...
I am so sorry to hear that, Misty. I am surprised your landlord agrees with them! Many apartment dwellers use their balconies for plants. It makes no sense!!
Karens?? Well that was quite a bit mean about what those neighbors said
@AC73LoveCats my landlord came to give me a plant the other day that I had ordered from etsy and made a snarky comment that I didn't need any more plants and that I had reached the limit and shouldn't be buying anymore.
Aww Misty neighbours can be awful. Your plants look great ðŸĪ—
@planthoe40 oh my gosh! I am so sorry; I really don’t understand why people can’t just let people live. If it’s not your home or your property, then please just move on. Not everyone has the same opinion or the same taste. Plus come on; it’s a balcony, not a fire exit. Maybe you need that plant pot to step on so you can get over the balcony! 😂 I mean come on. What terrible people. Karma needs to do some butt kicking: ðŸĶĩ 😂
@Sassylimey hey girl. I haven't seen you in awhile. How are you doing? @Idplantthat there jealous of everything. They ran up in hubby's face calling us rich and bougie because we grill tbones on the grill every Sunday and they're mad about that ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ I went on Etsy and ordered more plants ðŸŠī ðŸĪĢ. Getting 3 today. Just ordered another one. Told hubby I need to order me one of the cold hardy Florida palm tree ðŸŒī to stick outside in the side yard. ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ
@planthoe40 ha ha ha 😂 I ðŸŦķ you!
@planthoe40 That is horrible!!! What an awful landlord! If it were me I would be looking for another place to live.
@planthoe40 Are there really cold hardy palm trees?? How far north will they grow? I am in love with them. any info you have is welcome!
@AC73LoveCats I saw them on etsy. Give me a few and I will go back and look.
@AC73LoveCats the eucalyptus one I'm not sure but the description was gorgeous and now I want one ðŸĪĢðŸĪĢ
@AC73LoveCats rent prices are so high. We can't afford it. I only pay $688 a month here and that includes lights, water and cable. So I'm going to stay and be petty ðŸĪ·â€â™€ïļ
Hey missy, yes it's been a hot minute. The last two years have been rough, thankfully this year is better.
My plants are doing well, and I have three hoyas blooming. My plants keep me going and happy 😊
@planthoe40 Wow, I will have to look into these!
@planthoe40 Time to MOVE!! I know that isn't always possible but it's a balcony. Is there an exit through your balcony? This upsets me so bad for you. I am so sorry 😔 people need to mind their own business. It's zero business of your landlords what you are spending your money on! I worry every time we have balcony inspections to make sure there isn't anything out there junking up the place, which is understandable however plants are beautiful and only makes the property nicer. Of course in my opinion. Again I'm sorry Misty. This hits home HARD. ðŸ˜ĄðŸ˜­ @Idplantthat @DreamMachine
@planthoe40 @AC73LoveCats There totally ARE cold hardy palms!! This website wasn’t the original place I found out about them, but I can’t remember where I heard it first! 😅 Here’s the Northeast Ohio Palm Trees website, they specialize in cold hardy palms

@princesspitstop @planthoe40 Misty I’m so sorry you’re dealing with such a ðŸ’Đ landlord. I can’t imagine what makes them think they can make comments and judgements about your (plant) mail. That’s nunya business!!
@DreamMachine Thank you, I will check this, I live in southwest Ohio!
RIDICULOUS!!!
@princesspitstop yea rent prices here are ridiculous 😒 I only make $14 and hr and I fight each week for a few hrs of overtime. Hubby's job is closing down in December. So my next door neighbor got mad because I complained to the landlord that he was coming outside at night in nothing but boxer shorts and it's in the lease that you can't so he complained to another neighbor that he thought I had too many plants. My landlord instead of being a man and a grown up and coming to me and asking if I could take some back in the house he called the fire marshal to make it official. Then to cover his a$$ when i started talking ðŸ’Đ he claimed he was going to see if the owner could call the fire marshal to work something out. But that was all a lie. He never called the owners. He has said nothing to the neighbor who has a massive plant sitting on the balcony about taking his plant in the house. I stood on the balcony while everyone was outside and said very loudly for everyone to hear that since people out there were jealous and wanted to complain and my plants couldn't be outside then nobody's plants would be outside if i had to make daily calls to the fire marshal
@planthoe40 Stand your ground woman! 💊 So much drama over plants. I don't even talk to my neighbors other than a smile and nod when I see them outside. I hate that you're going through this. I pray things get better 🙏💞
@princesspitstop thank you
