I finished a project I had been putting off for months, and now I'm rewarding myself by going to my favorite local nursery. I hope to find a mature Lemon-Lime Philodendron that I made the perfect spot for. If not that one, then a Micans. I already have a Brasil. Wish me luck!
@@ByBrittanyG I did, and rewarded myself abundantly! I got the Philodendron Lemon I went for...and then I saw a big Silver Stripe all by its lonesome self...I couldn't leave her there. She came home with me!
Your amazing where have you been all my life You are the. Est teacher Wow Keep going. Love it Love your explanation and you explain it well Your plants are amazing never seen such lush plants I’m in Australia I really love your teaching and just your knowledge Look forward to watching some more Thank you
I just wing it! lol. Whenever I notice a stem that has a bare node where a leaf should be, I snip that off. Or if I notice that the leaves are a bit smaller than I'd like, I'll trim and adjust the lighting :)
Thank you for this video! I have one that has been in the same pot for over 2 years and huge, but has very long vines. I have been thinking about re-potting it and cutting the vines, but I'm not sure how big of a pot I should use. Any suggestions? I'm hoping I can propagate the long vines.
You'll want to repot it in a pot that's just slightly larger than the existing one. I usually size up about an inch or two. And make sure to use some fresh well-draining soil...I'll put in a little later in the bottom, add the plant, and then fill in around it!
I have a Brazil plant and she’s been doing very well since I got her in September. I think she’s still pretty young, only seven leaves and not too big either. But I’m concerned about a few things: 1) she has a few spots/holes on a couple of her leaves and I’m not sure why. She just got some on her most recent leaf and I think it might be from the sun exposure. 2) One leaf has a brown spot on the edge and is curling. 3) I’ve noticed a few leaves have been curling lately. I water her every 7-10 days and I read that they’re native to warm/humid environments so I take her into the shower with me every now and then. I’m in college in Nashville but I’m from Chicago and plan to take her back home and I’m worried she won’t do as well. Do you have any tips on how I can take better care of her?
Hi! I'm also from an area where it gets pretty cold in the winter, but I find the the tropicals do okay indoors-they just slow their growth or go dormant when the days get shorter, the air gets drier, and the temperatures in our house are around 68 degrees. It's possible the spots could be from sun exposure if it is getting too much direct light. You can try moving it a bit away from the window it's in. But the brown spots and curling make me think it may need more water. I suggest checking the soil moisture before watering, I like to let at least half of the soil dry before I water again. I usually just stick my finger down into the pot to get an idea of the moisture. Some of my philos in medium light conditions need watered much less frequently than the ones in higher light conditions. Good luck!!
The one I had always have only have green healthy leaves around the root. In the stems the leaves are turning yellow and falling :(. Any idea of why and how to fix it?
generally I find that yellowing leaves is either a lack of water (if the soil is dry and caked) or too much moisture retention, which can be due to soil that's too dense, lack of drainage holes, or watering too often
It really depends, has the soil been consistently wet or dry? If wet, them it's likely due to overwatering, which prevents the flow of oxygen to the plant's roots. If dry, it's probably underwatering and needs a good drink :)

A fantastic idea for a reward!! Hoping you find one!

This is awesome thank you! That neon philo is gorgeous. How do you know when and where to trim so it gets bushy and full?

Great video.
What is the size of the pots you have used for the three hanging plants in this video?
Thanks! They are 8-10 inch pots.
Brilliant video 👍🏼 thank you
