  • Dear plant lovers,
    If you are ever curious about how I manage to water over 1,000 plants in my tiny Indonesian home, this is an episode for you to watch. I divulge watering techniques, and secret tricks across many plant species and living environments.
    I start of with foliar spray for orchids and hoyas, then show you how to properly water tillandsias, better known as airplants.
    My favorite part is when I hose down my green wall, drenching them in watery goodness!
    I share watering tips for water-sensitive plants like anthuriums and aglaonemas, as well as plants in my critical care section
    Since it rained on us, I digressed by sharing with you exactly why rain water is much more superior than our tap water.
    We spend a bit of time outdoors, showing you how to water carnivorous plants, bromeliads, and more.
    Finally, I spend a bit of time with watering my platycerium, showing you a lazyman’s hack to water them!
    The full episode is in the description, see you there!

      Its glassed in and i put in wood floor with isolation beneath so its quite warm, also sun beyween 11am to 7pm
      But yeah... lots of plants indoors too. Always been into plants but for almost ten years we went away each summer all summer to our summer place, meaning i couldnt really keep too much at home. So I'm still on my way growing plants up again, meaning i have A LOT but most are still fairly small. Livingroom alone is 32 plants at the moment 😂 South facing windows 4.5meters wide and 1.2 high. Recently built custom sized plant tables to fit my larger plants that no longer could fit in the windows and those that needed a bit less light.
      At the moment building pidestals for my 1.2m (4 feet) high Zamioculcas zamiifolia because their 35cm wide pots cant fit on the window zill any more 😂
      Garden hoses that expand and shrink is gold 😂

People need to learn their own plant care needs just like what you have done. What works for you there in hot Indonesia would be different care needs in some other countries. It is all based on trial and error.

    I’m always amazed that so many planty people do not keep name labels or tags with the plants…and then can’t remember the name! 🪴

    Can you use foliar fertilizer for all houseplants? There isn't much info online on foliar spray.
