× Yes, me and my family keep uh, plans at home like uh, sunflower plants and rose plants as well.
✓ Yes, my family and I keep plants at home, such as sunflowers and roses.
Use subject pronoun 'I' not 'me' in subject position and place 'my family and I' (polite order). Also 'plans' is a misspelling of 'plants' and plant names usually plural or as nouns 'sunflowers' and 'roses'. Combine with commas for clarity.
× We also have a very nice garden and me and my mom enjoy uh, taking care of the plants there for me.
✓ We also have a very nice garden, and my mother and I enjoy taking care of the plants there.
Replace 'me and my mom' with 'my mother and I' for correct subject pronoun usage and formality. Remove 'for me' which is unnecessary. 'Mom' can be 'mother' for formality, and commas improve sentence flow.
× It's very nice see how they are changing with.
✓ It's very nice to see how they change over time.
Original lacks 'to' before verb 'see' and 'changing with' is ungrammatical. Use infinitive 'to see' and correct phrase 'change over time' to express gradual growth.
× When I was young, I grow a few plants like fruit plants, oranges, lemons and cherry plants.
✓ When I was young, I grew a few plants, such as orange, lemon and cherry trees.
The clause 'When I was young' requires past tense 'grew' not present 'grow'. Use 'trees' for fruit plants and list adjectives 'orange, lemon, cherry' to modify 'trees' or 'plants'.
× We had a patio and then we uh, so growing the plants and I remember it was a very fun time with my family and we also enjoy the fruits.
✓ We had a patio, so we spent time growing plants; I remember it was a very fun time with my family, and we also enjoyed the fruits.
Original mixes fragments. Use past tense consistently ('spent', 'growing' as gerund after 'spent' or use 'we grew plants'). 'Enjoy' should be past 'enjoyed' to match 'remember' and 'was'.
× To be honest, I don't know many things about growing a plant.
✓ To be honest, I don't know much about growing plants.
Use 'much' with uncountable concept 'knowledge' and plural 'plants' or no article. 'Many things' is awkward; 'much' is more natural here.
× I think everything I know it's a thanks.
✓ I think everything I know is thanks to my mother.
Remove redundant 'it's a' and use correct collocation 'thanks to' to indicate source. Place 'my mother' as the source rather than repeating 'my my mom' later.
× It's coming from my my mom and I just try to keep them safe with water with I try they they have the best life they can, they they can.
✓ It comes from my mother, and I just try to keep the plants well-watered so they have the best life possible.
Use present simple 'comes' for a general statement. Remove duplicated words and use clear phrasing: 'keep the plants well-watered' and 'so they have the best life possible'. Avoid repeating pronouns and words.
× MMM I'm not sure about if they send send plans as gifts but in my culture they are usually sends flowers of kids for birthdays, anniversaries and also for Valentine's Day.
✓ I'm not sure if people send plants as gifts, but in my culture people usually send flowers to children for birthdays, anniversaries and also on Valentine's Day.
Use 'I'm not sure if' not 'about if'. Correct 'send send plans' to 'send plants'. 'They are usually sends' is wrong; use 'people usually send'. Use preposition 'to children' and 'on Valentine's Day'.
× I additionally my husband sent me flowers very often.
✓ Additionally, my husband sends me flowers very often.
When describing a habitual action use present simple 'sends' (third person singular) not past 'sent'. Add comma after 'Additionally' and place adverb 'very often' at sentence end for clarity.
