Persian shield (Strobilanthes dyerianus) care and propagation
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- The persian shield (or STROBILANTHES DYERIANUS in latin) is a gorgeous plant hailing from Myanmar. Its got reptile-like texture on the leaves and an iridescent purple that is unique to its species. The care is relatively easy for this plant, It wants direct sunlight and never allowed to dry out completely. But this does not mean you can drown this plant with water because it will not forgive you for it. This plant is commonly used in landscaping or outdoor gardening and can withstand mild frost. I propagate this plant in water and directly into soil, showing you the results of both propagations in an update at the end of the video. Enjoy!

I REALLY appreciate how you always do a follow up with ALL your propagations in the SAME video! Plus, how you try multiple propagation styles and show us which one worked the best for each plant!! Thank you SOOO much for such informative videos! Keep up the GREAT work!!!
Haha yessss I love documenting and experimenting. I wished someone showed me how to do these in detail!
Same!! 🥰
Thank you for this video. Someone gifted me with one. After watching, I propagated 5 cuttings!
Yayee
I got this plant today, and my first thought was my purple passion plant that’s what it reminded me of.
I so appreciate the amount of time you put into these videos. And I love that you do a whole process in one video. It must take a lot of effort and organization to keep track of everything, but it's so helpful. Thank you!!
😀 its worth the effort! I wish someone did these videos when I was starting out... I killed so many plants trying!
I purchased a Persian Shield plant several weeks ago. I have it sitting on a window sill and it gets good morning sunshine. However, you are right about the watering. One morning I saw it completely limp and right away I watered it. I thought it was too late because the soil was very dry. After a while, the plant came back to life and I was happy about it. So now I am keeping an eye on it. Thank you for sharing the information.
I have this, its beautiful and I was able to propagate it and keep it over the winter. I'm planting it and some of its kids outside again. It produces a little lily like flower
You have soooo much patience to continue putting updates in the same video. It's soo helpful and satisfying to see the results! Thanks!
Thanks for getting me into plants, Sean! I'm an 18 year old student and have a few plants, got a baby persian shield today!
Whoaaaa good luck on that plant. Be sure to blast it with the best light but never let it dry out 😀
So glad I found your videos. I'm learning about so many plants to propagate. You explain the process very well. Hello from Texas!😊
Hello ❤️😀
Sean definitely don’t discriminate plant by it price .. it is a beautiful plant indeed.. 👍.
Price? Whats that? Lol.
All plants are special and beautiful.
Thank you so much for this video I just bought this beauty today from Walmart and my poor baby broke 😢 now I know how to save it😅. Thank you so much and I’m definitely a new Sub
Yaye 😀
Yeah mine isn't doing so well from the 3rd week of acquiring it. The main stem got very dried and twiggy and lost pretty much all of those tiny leaves so I'm going to lob off the top and propagate whatever smaller branches it has going in both water and soil method. Thank you for your video it inspired me to do something (anything!) in hopes of rescuing my Persian Shield
Yaye. They propagate much easier than to rehab/rescue. Good luck!
Thank you for sharing of how to propagate this plant,I do this to my persian shield plant.
My first and only plant my wife trusts me to have 😁 As a form of therapy after a rough time in my life, keeping a flower has helped me appreciate life and nature much more. I’ve propagated many trimmings from this plant, I fill a shallow Tupperware dish with warm water (room temperature) cover top with plastic wrap (thin) poke hole for the stem and keep an eye on the evaporation of the water, keep it topped up. After a month the roots are growing and ready to plant. It’s a wonderful cycle.
Whoaaa thanks for the tips. Hope things are looking up for you now.
This is one I wanted but never bothered to get. Thank you for this video. What a beautiful plant.
Yeah this ones so underrated
Your plants spread out like butterflies.
I just got this at a nursery. Very pretty! Great video!
Thank you
Love the time-lapse instruction you provide all in one view! Brilliant. Feel confident chopping off the top of my single stemmed persian in hopes that it bushes put for me. Thank you!
Out*
😀😀
Great tutorial on caring for Persian Shield! I have 3 new plants & love the look of them ~ Your suggestions are a huge help to caring for, AND propagating these beauties!
Thank you so much for this video. I just propagated my Persian shield in soil after watching your video. Hoping it works this time. And i believe I'm over watering my main Persian shield which is why it has lost its purple sheen, it's more green and white.
I have a feeling its a light issue. More light might bring out more purple?
so so happy to see the follow up in the same video. Thank you Thank you!!!
You’re welcome. I have hundreds of episodes across many species just like this 😀 do give them a look
So pretty. I appreciate that you give us the updates when you propogate.
I am learning new plant from you day by day, thank you for giving us inspiration and instruction
I'm in north Florida and bought 4 of these plants..I have to have raised beds due to the ground holding water (north Florida 😂) I fold mine do better in 5 gallon pots vs in the ground where it's raised... thanks for the video..got a new sub
Thank you, welcome to the channel 🙌🏽
Got one today...I'm scared but I'm gonna try it fully indoors with a grow light on it at all times.
Yeppp they do well with realt good light. But become very thirsty fellas once they get good light
Excellent follow-up 👍🏼💯ty! 🎉
😀🙏🏽
💚Never heard of this plant before...the foliage colour is stunning!
Needed this information. Great video. I see you have the plant in aa small pot
I finally got one today :) hopefully i don't kill it hahahaha. I appreciate the care tips. Thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for this info(how to propagate persian shield). I can now grow more of this beautiful plant.
Tqvm for this video 🙏🏻 I have a Persian Plant and I have not tried to propogate it.. I will try to propogate on soil instead of water. Tq tq
I love your passion for plants! 😊🤍🌺
Thank you ❤️
Tanaman yang cantik, dan sangat gampang di perbanyak. Sy punya banyak di tanam di halaman.
I love Persian shield plants too! We have around 5-7 pots at home. They really make garden linings especially when the foliage is thick!
*One pot was stolen from our garden by some children.
Good plant to make colourful garden. We ❤️ it
i really enjoyed and learned a lot from this video. than kyouuuu
Thank you for shouting out Burma, Sean! I just ordered my Burmese shield today😋😊🙃
a plant that has pretty leaves. Happy listening. Greetings from our hobby in Indonesia🙏👍❣️
This is a very common plant for sale in Florida. Thanks for the tips.
Just bought one today. Thx for the info! 💜
Thanks Sean! I have been waiting for this! My Persian Shield is not in the best shape at the moment. Awesome tips as always! :) Always looking forward to your videos. Greetings from the Philippines!
So helpful to have 2 updates. I love the persian shield. Im going to get on tokped for some of your jungle floor and propagate them today!!!
6:43 the gel on ur propagation is killing it
Thank you for sharing I love that plants beautiful watching from California
It’s a beautiful plant, but it’s sold as a annual here in the summer. (Wisconsin)
The cutting that’s in soil the leaves got huge.
Hello Sean,wonderful foliage indeed,waouh!!👍😉
Have a nice day 🌿
I've always loved this plant, I had initially gotten wrong information from the seller, saying direct light, and she looked bad quickly, so I moved her to bright indirect light and now we are good friends. 😁😁
Ooooo interesting mine did well in direct sunlight 😀
Thank you so much!!
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing sir
You’re most welcome dear
Thank you!!
Yaye ❤️
Omg yessss i need this! Chop mine a week ago dan sudah almarhum 😅😅😅
Terima kasih sean
😀 good luck with it
I love Persian shields. I've been planning to do an indoor potting arrangement with them this spring.
Love the Persian shield.Happy growing and stay safe.
looks like a begonia version of so many tradescantias! i love purple and green foliage
Thankyou
Thank you too ❤️
Before seeing this video I thought my Persian Shield is a very underrated plant since I never saw any posting about this plant. I have one among my full sun coverage plant. I promise to make a post about this Persian Shield asap tomorrow. . 😊
Yeah not many people post about this plant which is a shame! 😀
I dont know why but it seems plants are happier in your care 🥲 so envy...
Haha I actually almsot killed this plant before. It takes time and practice! 😀
Your Persian Shields look amazing. I have been growing them high in the Rocky Mountains and have struggled to keep the plant happy in the dry climate here. I am starting to dial it in and really enjoy this plant!
They are now growing like weed everywhere because I keep sticking cuttings everywhere it shouldnt be lol
Omg this is gorgeous
Love your plants
Btw i am u r fan from myanmar.
Thank you, hope you guys are staying safe there. 🙏🏽🙏🏽
plant guru✨
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Very timely, I just got 4 little Persian Shield plants 😃
Love that beauty.
I got a few Persians this morning and they were beautiful and I'm starting on gardening so I know absolutely nothing about Persians so this helps out so much! I'm gonna put my Persians into pots later afternoon
They get big fast. Prune them often ya!
woohoo get my friday going 😊 and what a pretty plant!
I just bought this plant today.
Good luck with it. Its so pretty... but they need very good light
@@onlyplants
Yes it’s very pretty. I love the color. Thank you for the tip. I’m going to follow the care.
Just purchased 2 plants today. I had never seen this plant before in my local garden center. Another customer was also looking at them and we got talking about them, She knew about the plant and told me the same information you just gave. They ARE STUNNING !! its an annual according to the sticker.Would this plant do well indoors as a houseplant by a very bright window.??? Would hate to have to discard it after summer here in GEORGIA. Thanks so much for the video.:)
Yes they can live well indoors by a bright window 😀
I was gifted one about the same time this video released! At first I didn’t care for it because it was sold as an annual, but it’s so resilient I’ve really grown to love this plant🥲 I just took cuttings and put them w the parent plant to fill out the pot more and can’t wait to see if they take root! Any tips for winter care?
Theres no winters here but some say they do go dormant with low temperatures and bounce back when its warm. However Im not sure what zone they live in 😅
I was thinking he would do the same thing to help make it look bushier/filler! 😊
I got two healthy Persian shields and plan to propagate them. So who did I turn to for expert help? You, of course! So glad you had a video dedicated to this one. I had a few last year outside and they must have been thirsty, like you said, and dried up and died pretty fast. I feel better prepared now and ready to cut the tall pieces off and propagate them. Thank you! 🙌
Haha good luck! They do better in soil propagation than water I find
@@onlyplants Thank you! 😂 I potted up 10 cuttings and dipped them in some hormone and I’ll have to keep an eye on them so they don’t dry up. I hope they root well. 🙏🏻
I enjoyed this video about Persian Shield very much. Your presentation is so clear and thorough. A question: have you seen the bloom this plant produces? I think it is quite pretty yet it is rarely mentioned. The blooms are bell-shaped, purple, lavender, and white about 3 cm high and 2 cm wide at the widest. They do not hang like bells; they generally face upward in clusters of 3~6 flowers. Thanks so much for your detailed and clear presentation.
Oo ive not seen them flower before. But it would make sense that they can. Their leaves are already so spectacular on their own. I’ll keep an eye out 😀
Thank you for sharing💗
Welcome 😀🙌🏻
I had one for 4 years, I wintered it and it grew to be 6 ft tall! Sadly last year it died, I'm not sure why. I did take cuttings. I got a new this year and it is very leafy and looks like it has a flower bud! I am anxiously waiting to see!
Good call on the cuttings. They can be brought back in Spring 😀
I have been growing persian shield outside of my home in California. I have a coastal climate since I live several miles away from the ocean. It can handle mild winters, but during the colder months, the metallic color fades away. The irridescent purple color returns during the warmer months, especially during summer.
My first plant can I leave indoor? I wanted to put it outside but I’m afraid too much direct light will kill it I live in the Valley in California
@@e.salinas6553 I think the valley would be too extreme for Persian shield unless it was in a protected area from frost during Winter and too much heat/too much light in Summer. They prefer partial shade when growing in Coastal areas of Southern CA. They can probably handle high heat but only in high humidity conditions and the Valley is too dry during the summer.
@@roberthemedes1064 ok thanks for the info.
loveplants62 . So pretty yes its lovin the dirt awesome.
I love my persian shield 🙈🙈 lol I named mine barney because of the purple lmao
I couldn't actually see where u cut the plant for propagating. did you cut it from below or above the node? And does it need to have those tiny tiny leaves on it to propagating? Thanks!
Below the node please. And it can be a bare stem without the baby leaves already showing. The baby leaves will appear in every node
can you do a video on plants that get done dirty? like old reliable plants such as the ficus benjamania? its everywhere but no one thinks its pretty, but the variegated form is beautiful.
Forest floor soil...best description ever! Can you share what makes up your planting medium 🙂. Thanks for your great videos!
I think he already made videos about his soil mixes.☺
Please check out my video gallery, I had 4 videos on soil and potting mixes 😀 they are useful across many varieties of plants
Please help!! mine plant has brown edges leaves ,they are in filter light,moist soil why are they brown if you know I appreciate it
Give them direct sunlight, and water frequently as they are very thirsty plants 😀
When I am hesitant to take a leaf that I like, I just cut it in half. ❤
❤️
Thanks for you vidoes. My Persian shield has flowered. Can I still propagate it?
Yess i would cut the flowers before propagating as it can take a lot of energy away from the propagation process
lol I thought I was the only one who apologizes to my plants!!
🙈
thanks for your info, do you have to grow in a pot? can I put it in the ground?
Oh yes they are wonderful in grounds. But they can grow too fast so you have to propagate often
Hi Sean I have 2 Persian shield plants 1 seems to be doing excellent the other I'm not quite sure about. It has begun to flower but it seems like the plant stops growing after it flowers. Any advice?
I cant make any assesment based on this limited information… are they grown in the same area and cared for the same way?
@onlyplants same pot too lol.
What a beautiful plant. I love anything purple . Will try to get one and see if I can keep it alive.
My propagation technique for plants whose stems go barky is to cut from hardened/barked over stems. The ones with soft branches can still make it, but the barky ones take 100%. :)
Whoaaa interesting, I’ve heard the opposite, that the woody old stems rot easily and roots quite slowly. I usually apply rooting hormone to thicker and older stems for this reason.
@@onlyplants If you water them constantly, they do rot. In my experience, there are cuttings that no matter what you do, they will take. Hardy af. Like bougainvillea. Lol
Then there are some that need to air dry out first. I once turned madre de cacao branches into stakes for my philos and they actually rooted and grew. Lol. And they have been lying in the sun for about a month before I used them.
That said, I always just play it by ear like you do, and of course, factor in a little science. :)
Kihaaaaa you just received my subssss
Whoaaa welcome to the channel ❤️
I ordered one just awhile ago.. Hehe
Whoaaa good luck with it 😀
@@onlyplants thanks sean..
My persian shields leaf tips are so crispy, 🥴 I mist and water it so often and doesn't get direct sunlight... I just can't figure out why it's looking that way. Its getting new growth but after a while they crisp up too... help?
Oh never mist it hehe. They love direct light actuallt
@@onlyplants oops 🤭I'll stop misting mine. I do have mine in a bright location though.. but I'll let it get direct sun 🌞
Do you add any fertilizer into the watering?
Sometimes I do. Every 1-3 months when I have time 😀
Instead of removing the big leaves of the Strobilanthe when making a cutting, you can just cut them in half.
There is a window box designer that has successfully used Strobilanthe in mixed plantings. They were gorgeous!! This is in the coastal Northeast town of Newburyport, MA, USA.
Thank youu

Hey sean 👋
Please show me your episcia collection and how you care for them. Thankyou
Will be doing an episcia care and propagation video soon 😀
This is my first year growing Persian Shield, so I have been looking at how to preserve cuttings over winter. It was not easy to find!
I would also like to know about the plant behind you, to your left, below the staghorn. It looks interesting. I have created my own little micro-climate in what was previously a very barren public housing landscape, and I enjoy researching new plants to add to my little jungle.
Is it potentially the huperzia? I should have covered it in a video titled all my plants 😀
@@onlyplants looking that it, it looks right! Thanks so much!
Whenever I do propagation, put it into a soil mix, it does even before their roots began to sprout. How can I solve this?
I think you are missing some words there… but Im guessing you meant rot? Move cutting to bright but shaded area, and water lightly but frequently. Or if in doubt, water propagate instead 😀
@@onlyplants sorry I meant it dies* instead of does 😅
I'm distracted with that medinella/parijoto at the background. Hoping you'd make a video about the care for local medinella (not magnifica. Forgot the latin name for the local medinella/parijoto).
I believe mine is the medinilla myriantha
@@onlyplants I see. Gorgeus! Mine's been blooming but the flowers fell off. Prolly because no suitable (or any) polinators.
Thanks babe
My leaves and wilting...but my soil is moist.
How do I make a soil mix with drainage?
It might wilt when the roots were damaged by dryness or rot. Or if its a recently propagated plant they tend to wilt until they have enough roots to bring moisture to the leaves
@@onlyplants wow thanks. It was a cutting...that i rooted in water (for too long as some fungus occured) and then on a flight it had some root damage. So hopefully you're spot on ... Small growth is coming back at nodes. I think I might add some perlite and use a rock bed for humidity thanks
What is in a forest floor potting mix?
I have a video with that same title. See if you can find it on youtube search bar. You can also mix your own depending on what ingredients are available in your area. The idea is to keep the potting medium loose and airy.
Can you cut/propagate your plant any season/time? Thanks!
Yes you can so long as you give it humidity and light - even if it is artificially
Oh damn it. I just planted a really big one in quite a dense soil mix, 50% garden soil, 50% soil-less commercial peat moss potting soil....grrrrrrrrrrr! Been raining for a month already before I could plant it. Lets see, I wont water it, just let the rain do the watering, monsoons and all. Fingers crossed. I wonderered why my other three collapsed and turned black. They do turn an alarming black when they die, the leaves hanging stright down like goulish bats. These were in heavy ground near a tree fern that needed lots of water. If I do it again I will use 100% soiless plus vermicompost more inline whith what you are suggesting they need. Honestly damn it the pot is too huge to redo in this heat and humidity.......but it's making me fret as it's a focal point planting. I thought I had done enough homework then listend to this video [eyebrow hit the ceiling]! Thanks anyway, vital info.
Gonna change the entire pot tomorrow, just pulled it up and the roots are healthy and white still (after a day), no rain. Im going to use 100% soiless with some vermicompost, no mulch and no watering in the rainy season....fingers crossed, big bloody project its a huge dragon pot.
Its possibly getting too much water?
@@onlyplants It isn't so much that but the drainage capacity is bad. Our soil is heavy. They like moist roots but don't like stagnant soil. So anyway i'm trying 100% peat moss, looking good so far but eventualy the peat moss will break down and compact and then i will have trouble again but hopefully should be goofd fr three years at a stretch. Buggered if I do buggered if i don't. If the roots dry out it will die anyway.
