I use soft bristle brushes on mine and they work amazingly. It doesn't take the wax power off at all
I would add don't give your plants the cooled potato water if you added salt

My best plant hack is… pepper spray! I buy a big bag of dried peppers from the store (super cheap) and leave about ten of them in spray bottles full of water in the fridge. If you spray a few times a week it works great as pest prevention AND keeps your pets from trying to eat your indoor plants! 🥵
Nice, thanks 👍
Oh wow never heard of that. But sounds wonder! That'll burn the bugs butt lol
I wonder if it could be used on cannabis plants without leaving any taste when the plant is harvested?
Cat eating plant: oh it has a little kic- OH SHIT THATS SPICY
"It creates the ideal environment for (the plant) to grow stronger and develop into a responsible adult." Aw...❤ You're a great plant Dad!
Hehe I try
You are soooooooo right when it comes to the NOT NEEDING TO GET RID OF THE SOIL when you up-pot your plants. Having worked for the oldest Greenhouse business in Alaska for many years, there is absolutely no need . Sends hugs from Alaska ❄️❄️❄️❄️
Great stuff 👍
I think it's worth mentioning that the water after boiling potatoes cannot contain salt if we want to use it later as a fertiliser
Makeup brushes are good for cleaning velvet leaves and able it get into smaller areas 😊
Great idea, thank you!
yeah this is a muchhhhh better idea ever for the succulents too. I think the toothbrush will be just as harsh on the plant and is bulky and for super small nooks if wont fit. a small makeup brush would though. great advice.
Yes! I like to use a small paint brush… same idea though.
Neat idea!
I bought some from Temu for that reason.
I stand my plants on vintage glass cake stands. I had collected over the years because I love them but found that they took up a great deal of cupboard space when not on the tea table. Now I rarely eat cake but I can view my collection all the times as well as looking at my plants.😊
Like it!
🎉 lovely
That's a great idea!
I love my collections, you have found the way to keep the collection and make it useful -- and then you can see them every day. Grand idea!
You are officially my favorite “plant guy”! Between your plant knowledge and sense of humor, I’m treleafed!😂 It’s good to hear you have plants that misbehave and it’s ok not to like them. I’m not going to feel bad about that anymore. Cheers!
Great stuff thank you 😊
If you like to thrift: look for pillar candle holders. They come in a variety of different heights & materials and are great to elevate plants. If the holder part is too small you can add a saucer.
Cool thanks 👍
Love this idea!
I’ve used small boxes (Amazon, postal boxes, food boxes) covered in dollar store gift wrap or contact paper to make plant risers 😊
Like it!
I’m glad to see that you are adding moss poles into your collection SMP! Excited to see the growth on those plants in the future!
One more thing to add to your first part if you don’t mind… When you don’t want to touch the Farina on your succulent leaves, try blowing/puffing the dirt off with a bulb syringe. If you don’t have a bulb during handy, a straw and your lungs will do the job! Just be careful to not to blow in the straw too hard or near the potting medium to avoid a mess of dirt on your shelf 😁
Nice hack!
I was thinking of a make-up brush you can get in Poundland or Home bargains but I also like these tips, thanks!
The only time my plants have suffered from repotting is when I’ve broken up the roots. I never disturb the roots anymore and every single repotting is a complete success. The plants don’t even notice they’ve been repotted. Great tips overall!
Thank you 👍
The clear takeaway soup containers are an excellent substitute for clear nursery pots and I use the lids as the drainage saucer! So glad to see your reuse content!
Absolutely!
I do that too! Recently got a hot knife for crafting but I found out it's also good for making drainage holes in those plastic containers, so win win. And to start my seeds I use those plastic trays that come with mochi. They're easy to poke holes with thick crochet hook.
And some of the flatter containers work great as little propagation bins. I also have a lot of plants growing in yogurt containers LOL. Cheers to recycling!
@@christinak9587 Yassss! I have some string of turtles babies in perlite in one right now!
Love the idea of lint roller to check for bugs
Great!
I have a huge collection of artist paint brushes of all kinds & qualities. I clean & dust with them all the time. I think that’s better than a tooth brush for succulents.
Yeah probably softer 👍
I use clean makeup brushes. Lol. I was in an online subscription thing for a few years and I got some sort of small brush each time. I’ve got loads. Haha
If you don't like the looks of your plastic yogurt container, spray paint it!
I love to use tall candle holders to add interest ,and the spike in the middle secures your plant!❤
Awesome idea about the sticky roller! That works well with dogs during tick season too. Deer ticks are so tiny! If the roller is too sticky, giving it a roll on your sleeve works great to take some of that tack off. I bet that would work well for plants too, especially with more delicate leaves. The stickiness on those rollers always varies. (I go through a lot of sticky rollers thanks to my animals)
We go through hundreds per year 😂
Instead of a toothbrush I use a fluffy makeup brush. It makes a mini duster. Works wonderful and won’t make any marks on the plant. 👍🏼
I always listen to you regarding plant care. Since then my plants have been doing extremely well!!! ALSO, I now started a plant exchange program. I root my cuttings and so does my friend, then we exchange them! Amazing idea I got from you, THANK YOU SHEFFIELD!!!!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😁
cake stands and old bowls make great props to put plants at different heights.
💯
Wow love the recycling ideas - also I agree with your method of repotting. If the roots aren’t damaged and the soil is in good condition why remove it. No need. Simply repot using your idea. Fantastic
Thank you 😊
Great tips! I too do a lot of these, but instead of a toothbrush, I use watercolor paint brushes that I bought from the dollar store. I noticed that even with soft bristle toothbrushes, the farina is still disturbed and on my really small succulents I couldn't get into the cracks and crevices like I wanted. But with the paint brushes, the bristles are softer and more flexible and they come in different sizes so I can get in there more better. Also, during the height of the pandemic, I found tons of alcohol hand wipes that I now use to wipe down the leaves of my plants. Not those little ones that they serve you in restaurants, but more the size of actual baby wipes. They help as far as cleaning the leaves and preventing pests.
Paint brushes are a better shout 👍
I’ve also been taught since forever that rice water (the one you rinse and dump) is great as a liquid fertilizer too, some people even let it ferment and says it’s better like that
👍👍👍
I’m definitely trying the potato water! It has every nutrient a plant needs! Thanks!
👍👍👍
Alternate to toothbrush : face makeup brush. Comes in numerous sizes, shapes, densities etc and extremely gentle
That’s a better shout 👍
I don't even have house plants, but I love this videos. They make the perfect ASMR for sleep.
I put the cork mats on glass candle saucers I get at thrift stores. There's always an assortment of microwave turntables there for my larger plants too. Candle stands of varying heights and materials are also helpful to create interesting displays.
Like it 👍
For terracotta pots you can also buy a sealant which seals the terracotta so the water in the dish does not leech through. Not sure about the UK, but can buy the sealant from a hardware / garden shop.
Yup. Just make sure to get the matte/flat finish. Gloss looks really weird, lol.
oh what a brilliant idea! It's really the pot that needs to dry out, so that's a lovely idea. I bought a bunch of terracotta pots and saucers for my snake plants. I knew I didn't want glazed pots, but never thought about glazed saucers.
I absolutly love this channel😻👏🏼
Thank you so much!!
Plant saucers here for terracotta have all been glazed inside and don't suck the water through like they used to. If you have the time you can paint the inside with a clear sealant and get the same effect! I bought a 3 pack of 3 inch saucers the other day at the dollar store and was pleasantly surprised that even the inexpensive stores had the inside of the saucers glazed! Don't worry though, I'm damaging my furniture in other ways with plants, fortunately, if you add another plant it hides any unsightly damage! 🤣
I bought some of that this week 👍
@@SheffieldMadePlants my dog's food and water bowls are 6 inch terracotta saucers! When I got him, he was too little too reach into a normal dog bowl, turns out even though he's 30lbs, that he doesn't eat much and this guarantees he gets fresh water several times a day so he's never got real pet bowls! I did give him a 2 inch tall cutting board just so his saucers aren't on the floor now that he is bigger though! Lol
I was always told to never disturb the roots when repotting unless the plant was severely root bound and then to only loosen them at the bottom.
If you play with the roots you stress the plant and repotting is enough of a shock. If it was really badly root bound to cut one third of the roots off.
👍
these are great hacks! I made sure to share. I did buy a makeup brush to brush off dirt from my plants instead of a toothbrush. And I buy my cork from the dollar store. They're like a pack of 2 or 3 for $1.25 CAD. But someone mentioned glazing the saucers, so I might do that instead.
Glazing the saucers is good 👍
Thank you, friend! As always, brilliant! 👏🏼🌱💚
Thank you pal 😁
I love finding antique little plates that I can use for putting under pots. All of my pots have protectors underneath so they don’t scratch wooden furniture and they look better ❤
Sounds good 👍
You are thinking like a woman
If you have aquariums you can use that water. My plants love that and there's no chlorine. You can also use aquarium dechlorinator to dechlor your water.
Definitely 👍
Brilliant video, as always. Thank you so much for helping me be a successful plant parent! 😊
My pleasure!
For saplings, used yoghurt package is fine for short use, at least our packages are some sort of thin plastic that they get brittle over some time.
I LOVE the repotting hack. I will be using it 🎉❤
Great!
My local pho restaurant 🍜, has these clear plastic containers for your soup whenever you order takeout. I poke holes in these containers and use it for my plants as it’s the perfect shape and size for many of my plants. This ways I can see the soil and roots of the plant and see if there’s any condensation on the pot. It helps me know when to water
Great idea!!
Thank you so much.. God bless you❤
Thanks for watching 😁
Love these hacks - and I'm so glad to see someone else who doesn't break up the root bundle and discard ok-ish soil. Sadly, I've found the concrete pots from certain supermarkets are just as bad as terracotta for the mold and condensation build up.
👍👍👍
I recommend No Pest stripes from Hot Shot to eliminate any flying insects.
Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!
This is weird. I've already seen this one. I think I've watched all.
But I absolutely need a daily dose of Sheffield plants.... its your expressions, your voice, your humor, doesn't matter if I've already seen it and I already have that information from you, I still need my dose. You are a drug. Safe even in high doses, but the withdrawals are wicked and not recommended! 🤑😆🙃
Haha like it! Thanks for watching 😁
Love the new editing style! ❤
Thanks!
Always enjoy your unique tips and tricks!
Thanks 🙏
Awesome hacks ! Thank you !
My pleasure!
Great tips. Keep up the good work on these videos. Looking forward to the next one. God bless you and yours.
Thank you Nora 😊
Thanks! Love the lint roller idea!
My pleasure 😁
I spotted your blooming rattail cactus in the background. So pretty 😍
Thanks for lots of good plant care advice.

Moses in the cradle is stupid easy to grow….. I love it ♥️♥️♥️♥️ ( that’s the deep purple vine )
It sure is 👍
Great tips! Thank you so much.
My pleasure 👍
Great tips and advice, thank you very much
Cheers my dude!
Love youre Videos , Thank you
Thank you 😊
Every thing in this video is useful information, thanks
Great, thanks!
I've NEVER broke up the roots unless there was a problem that needed me to explore in there.
I don't eat potatoes that often may be 2 potatoes every few months. I guess I'll biy some just for my babies. Fantastic ideas thank you!
You bet!
Hi! Just let your potato water cool down before using! 🙂
And add no salt to the water! 🙂
Amaaazing WOW WOW WOW I'm impressed with your Hints, Tips amd Hacks.. I've come away with some really handy things..Thankyou I've subscribed amd hit the notifications bell...
Awesome thank you 😊
Good tips! Thanks buddy
Thanks for watching 😁
Alway so helpful, I got to try the lint roller
Thanks 😊
For tip 1- instead of a toothbrush, you should use a fluffier brush like a makeup brush or fluffy paint brush OR I just got Leca that came with free planting tools and one is like a handheld thingy kinda like a giant eyedropper with a big bladder part that if you squeeze it blows hair through the nozzle, perfect for blowing dirt off a succulent.
I still can't figure out the purpose of one of the free tools though😂 looks like a weird 2 prong fork with the prongs are in a V shape. Any ideas guys??
Also, I prefer using fruit cup containers for little sized pots over the yogurt containers because they're clear and the ones I buy have no writing on them and are same size as normal yogurt cups. Looks prettier and I can see the roots and how wet the soil is. Just punch drainage holes, take off outer label, perfect!
@@seanathanbeanathan thanks for telling me!! That was actually my best guess but I wasn't sure 😅 I really like that little kit, it was marketed as free gift with purchase, but had a lot of stuff in it for free. Plus I got this really cute pastel rainbow mini Leca that looks like candies!
An elementary school tradition (I guess not just elementary school) here is to use a cottage cheese cup to plant Lolium for Easter, as a celebration to nature springing up. So I guess the technique was right under my nose the whole time.
Like it 😁
I spray some Miracle Gro Leaf Shine into a plastic cup and mix it with a little bit of water… then I use (either) an old (but really well cleaned) make-up brush (OR a cheap make-up brush)… The ones that are really for eyeshadow (or are basically bigger than a dinky paint brush that kids get in their watercolor sets for those who don’t use makeup)… The bristles are so nice and soft and really hold onto the liquid nicely, and then I use that to clean my succulents, cacti, and other delicate plants :-)
Great tip 👍
Thanks forgetting straight to the good material, not faffing round! Great content
Thanks for watching 😁
You are amazing ❤
Thank you 😊
Fantastic channel, I LIKE.
Marvellous thank you 😊
Old plastic lids like from cottage cheese or yogurt work under your plants for free!
I make holes in my plastic pots by heating up an ice pick and poking holes. This makes holes with no cracks!
Brilliant!
Great video
Thanks 👍
You had me at lint roller 😍
😁
If I find a small garden spider, I actually put them on my plants. They eat any new pests that have just arrived and they love my moss poles because they are always moist
Like it!
Thank you! I almost never break up my roots. Why would they just stop doing what roots do? I think it makes repotting less traumatizing. I haven’t ever had a plant with transplant shock.
Exactly 😁
I have 4 running fish tanks. I've found plants and fish are the best combo for hobbies. I've got a plant tank I use to raise my cuttings. Which will be a guppy tank, only when the water is ok. My other three get plants that are ready to go. I have some easy fish; mollies, tetras, and my betta gets his own plant kingdom.
That is awesome!
I use the kitchen cork mat for my cat's water! :D Same idea!
😁
I like to use Gatorade bottles for moss poles,use hot knife or drill to make cuts to avoid breaking plastic. One thing though,you failed to mention exactly how to make drainage holes in glass jars. For that you will need a special drill bit designed for glass.
Amazing video thank you so much I am definitely going to do the potato water hack (remembering to NOT add salt) and get a sticky roller too cheers 👍
Thank you 😁
Hi, I am watching you from Pretoria, South Africa. I would like to suggest that you use the tip of a soldiering iron to make as many or few holes at the bottom of the pot of your choice. Thank you for your great channel.
Thanks for the tip 👍
Maybe we should be drinking some of that nutritious potato water….😂. I save it for bread recipes (including any leftover mashed potatoes) but will leave some for my plants now. Loved the video! Thanks!
Thank you 😊
I also use any water from water changes of my fish tanks to water my plants..lots of good fertiliser from fish poo and I have not wasted any water. I also pop any cuttings into the tanks to get them started
👍👍👍
My hero i love love love hoyas.i bought some cheap plastic drawer organisers and can get 3 small plants in one organiser. Came in really handy. I also use my filter jugs water to water my house plants and balcony plants when i change filters
Nice tip thanks 👍
@@SheffieldMadePlants any chance you will add a link to buy me a coffee? Id happily buy you a coffee. Look in to it please .. im sure im not the only one who would buy you a coffee
Good idea! Just set it up, thanks 😁 bmc.link/smplants
@@SheffieldMadePlants hello. Enjoy your coffee x
@@2023oryn thanks 😁
i use an organic fertilizer with sea algae for all my plants apart from orchids and they're very happy! 😊
That's great!
You can also paint the bottom of terracotta trays to stop water bleeding through. It’s not as cheap or easy as the cork trivits (definitely got to get me some of those!), but it’s a great, inexpensive way to match the tray to the pot while still getting most of the advantages of terracotta.
Thanks for the tip
Love your videos...I see you showed an avocado plant in soil....how is that plant doing? I have two and both are in water but I was wondering any suggestions for keeping them happy? One has three beautiful leaves but the other is sprouting slowly...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Thanks. It's doing pretty well. It shot up quickly and has slowed a bit now. Give em lots of light!
@@SheffieldMadePlants do I need to use a fertilizer with it being in just water? I've seen many videos saying don't fertilize, but I was thinking it wouldn't thrive without it
@@kbm4409 yes you should feed your plants in water.
Hello, great channel. Wanted to comment I have started using Neem oil with distilled water and a dash of liquid dish soap to spray all my garden and indoor plants, it not only treats guys but cleans the leaves naturally. What do you think? I’m scared of overusing it but now when I don’t use it in just a week leaves turn yellow, mites come back or plants just don’t seem happy or greener shiny enough
Neem oil is good but I’d be weary of dish soap. I’ve got a video on it coming on Wednesday
Can you do video on propagation?
I don´t like the first tip, you can even see how it scratches the film on the leave. Maybe if you use a very soft makeup or paint brush, they will also be finer and you can actually go close to the stem.
Probably a better shout 😅
Yeah i thought the same thing
If you are a full time YTuber what was your prior profession/occupation? How long have you been a plant guy overall?
I always hear the potatoes/rice/pasta water trick for watering plants, but don't people salt the water before boiling such foods? D:
Some do and some don’t I guess. I only do for pasta
Honestly I would probably use a small soft bristled paint brush instead of a toothbrush to clean dirt off of succulents
That’s a better shout 👍
What are your thoughts on using spent coffee grounds as fertilizer? I drink coffee every day, and I always wonder if I could be using those grounds on my plants rather than tossing them in the trash.
It can be good mixed into the soil but wouldn’t add every coffee you make. Might upset the ph balance if too much
Why buy heavy glass mason jars when you could just use empty plastic bottles with the bottom cut off ?
Good shout
I don't think I've ever broken up the roots of a house plant when repotting and they've all survived it. I do get rough with garden plants when I first plant them because I want them to take to the native soil quicker.
👍👍👍
❤❤❤❤
Hi can you please tell me what plant that is at 1:52 ! That light green plant in the terracotta pot that’s being placed on the cork mat 😁 thanks!
Peperomia scandendo variegated i believe
I’ve had my snake plant in the window with direct Sun. After awhile, I noticed some damage to it & assumed it was sun damage so I just put it under a grow light
Probably something else
Mine is in bright indirect lighting and loving it. It could be it might have a death cage on the roots choking it. I know Costa Farms makes a practice of this sold in big box stores. It is very common now which is sad :(( I feel as though most plantubers when they repot a plant they completely take all the soil off the plant so they can search for that black plastic cage. I guess that would be my only reason to completely take all the old soil off and check its roots before potting.
