I’m glad to hear you also water your plants about once a week. I hear so many people saying they water them 2/3 times a week but even though I have a very chunky soilmix, I can’t water more often than once a week because the soil stays moist
Love your videos! You really inspired me to start some legit moss poles and work towards bigger leaves on my climbing philodendron 😁 I hope mine turn out like yours one day!
I'd be tempted to throw a stout (manzanita or Prunus serrula?!?!) horizontal branch into the end of the pot with Dean McDowell and let it climb/crawl along it dry. The root system is definitely large enough to sustain it for a while. Great plants and great video.
5:12 i did similar experiment but with anthurium radicans (the pure species one, not the radicans x luxurians which sometimes sold as radicans). I made little "pole" from half of plastic cup and put wire over the cut side, then fill it with aroid mix. So far, so good... It definitely rooted to the "pole" and starting to climb. The reason i did it : since anthurium radicans is a crawler and have relatively small leaf and short petiole... the optimal viewing is from the top and i put all of my anthuriums on a shelf atm. Some people actually let them trail down from the pot, which is nice too. But the hanging part of the plant won't likely to put out any roots and i feel like it's a waste of nodes 😂
Philodendron plowmanii is a great example on how a plant adapts according to its environment. Based on my experience, P. plowmanii would produce leaves with more silver streaks if placed on a brighter light and vice versa.
looking at the growth pattern of the Silver Cloud I bought a couple of weeks ago (12 bucks at the local nursery!!), I would agree with what you're saying in the video. Mine's definitely more of a climber than a crawler. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that there's e.g. a Sodiroi in the mix here, that would explain its more heart-shaped leaves and also why it sometimes can be a crawler like the Mamei but other times more of a climber
How can you tell which philos are climbers and which are crawlers? I just bought a Blushing Philodendron do I let it climb or crawl? It almost looked like it wants to crawl! 🤷🏻♀️
Hi Jan, what do use on yr velvet leaves to deter/kill spidermites? Reason I'm asking is because when I wipe my velvet leaves with my natural pest mix the leaves get linty and become dull.
Good video, what a great idea with the rectangle self watering….here is my question, I’ve never known for my plants to have spider mites. But at times I’ve had pests eat part or leaves or sucked the life out of a leaf. I am not familiar with spider mites, do you think it’s possible to get them on video so we can see what they look like? And what do they do to the plants ? Thank you in advance
Thanks :) They are very small so you probably won’t really see them but you can usually tell by small ‘spiderwebs’ forming on your plant edges or yellowing edges of leaves with lots of tiny dots. They essentially suck the life out of the plant :P i’m sure you can find some close ups of them on google :)
you are my plant guru and I am following your advice on soils and moss poles. once I live in a place with more space I would love to add crawlers to my collection. They are stunning
Enjoying your video & Just looking at your aroid mix , mine looks chunkier, thinking I am using the wrong Cocoa peat ? I have used Coir potting 65 litre brick from Bunnings $29.0 You just said Cocoa peat that is very fine ?. I have used this for my mix ?? The coco husks is dominant ,equal NZ bark /coco potting brick Please advise ? I will go watch your aroid mix making video for the third time Thank you for taking my indoor plants to a healthier/ fun level
I use coco chips from growing grounds and coco peat from bunnings (www.bunnings.com.au/brunnings-15l-coir-peat-brick_p0274283?region_id=117174&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADtbEB8AwgrC2aCymq4c5KyGLubvK&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjPSirsuvhAMVGtEWBR0RuAiNEAQYAiABEgKgr_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds) :) your chunkier version might end up being very similar. happy growing :)
WOWZERS! Do you make your own aroid mix, or purchase a bag of it? I mixed up some orchid mix, perlite, with potting soil? My plowmanii doesn’t even look to be growing, for the past year! 8” inch long petiole, no ruffles yet. Not one leaf yet! Had one leaf, when I got the starter plant. Lost it! I’m going to try a terra cotta pot for her?!
I have a baby gloriosum, in a 3 or 4 inch pot and it’s kinda taken over that pot. The smallest rectangle pot I have is about 4”x7” inch, is it too soon to put it in that? At what point should I put it in? Should I let it be in a round container? Uppot it as it crawls into larger round pots and then once it’s bigger, put it into a rectangle? 🤔
I think you're overthinking it :) Don't give it a ridiculously large pot but especially with the rectangular pots you don't need to worry too much :) Happy growing :)
How do you manage them when they crawl towards end of the pot ? Sure, its easier to grow climbing plant, we have 2.5m ceilings but not 2.5m wide pots. Do you just cut it and let it be ? What will happen then ? They will be like that for years or they will push new leaves from existing node ? Im basically interested how long crawlers can live in pot before totally limiting them to grow more. ♥
I added the Dean McDowell and Pasta to my wish list ❤ I have the others. Can't wait for mine to be as fabulous as yours. My Mamie though is much more silver in it. My silver cloud hated me so it's currently chopped and propped. I bought it as a climber, though. I can't find straight answers about them! Lol.
It's been a while... But how is your silver cloud doing? I just got one and from the growth pattern it looks like it's climbing and not crawling 😅 it's repot time and I don't know if I should give it a pole 😅
I dont know why it never occurred to me to cut my Gloriosum like that and leave it in the pot. I've cut "top cuts" many times to sell to make more room but never did mid cuts. Great idea! Mine is so big at this point it's outgrown the usual long/skinny pots like you use and I've got it in a gigantic square pot. But it's not very filled out. That would be a great way to fill out the width of the pot. Crawlers are the only tropical I grow that make me wish I lived further south in Florida so I could put them outside in the ground. They are so amazing but take up so much space.
Sulphur powder gets rid of mites quick, knotdude on RUclips talks about it. And I’ve used it with success. Definitely worth a shot. It’s cheap and easy to find. Also works on other pests and fungus too
my plowmanii has started going yellow at the edges of the leaves it's in a cbainet, so it's not humidity.. it's growing in sphag, so I'm thinking maybe it need potting into aeroid mix?
I bought gloriosum, thinking it was glorious, not realising they were different, after watching this I'm actually ok with having gloriosum. Time to embrace the crawler!
WRT ground crawlers being climbers of a sort... yes they often do in the wild. They're not going to skate 15metres up a bole to the canopy - like those zippy true climbers. But they can handle themselves on corky low buttressed etc.
Hi! I recently got a super small baby gloriosum. It doesn't need a long pot from the start, right? It's so small! I have no idea when I should expect it to crawl 🙃
Just started my crawling philo journey. Started with a gloriosum and pasta silver. Now have a new McDowell, peltatum and Columbia sp. Silver. Loving all of them. Most are 2-6 months and they are so easy. Had a little spider mite attack on the gloriosum but it was easily delt with
Hi I love your Video! I have a big Problem with my gloriosum and I have no idea, what I am doing wrong. I would feel blessed, if you could give me a tip. its only in spaghnum moss so far, the leaves are very narrow to each other, so Light should be enough.... My problem: every time a New leaf comes, an older one or even two are going to die 😥 is it lack of nutients? every two weeks I give it some fertilizer. or is it two moist?
Mm very hard to say why but usually if the plant drops leaves it means it doesn’t have a large enough root system to sustain the leaves. Is there any reason it’s just growing in moss ? Maybe consider potting it up :)
Another great video! Thank you! Was wondering… when you made the cuts along the stem of the Gloriosum , in the pot… I could see that they started “ budding“… could you just leave them in the pot there and would the leaves grow on that end as well and eventually, fill out that entire pot then instead of removing them to propagate?
When is best time to repot my dean into same rectangular planter. It only has two leaves and is in 100ml pot but root system looks healthy tho not rootbound yet. Many thanks 😊

One of my McDowell leaves is looking very sad. It is the latest leaf to come in. It almost looks like it is wilting? The other leaves are fine with a new one coming in. I have no idea why this is happening. Any ideas?

Is pond water good for plants? I have a type of tree in a pot on my back porch. I was thinking to give it some pond water from the pond in the back of my neighborhood. There's fish, turtles, and ducks in the pond. I was thinking to fill a 2 liter bottle of pond water and feeding to my plant. I was thinking it has more nutrients than water from my sink.
True as far as nutrients but not sure as it is not a filtered pond by the sounds of it. I use water from my fish tanks and I’ve heard of using pond water from man made ponds without issue. I’d stay away from stagnant water for sure.
My Dean McDowell is doing a 45 degree climb as well. i want it to crawl... not sure what i want to do... I dont think it would like a moss pole. I was thinking maybe just add on the aroid mix below it to make a "hill". So that the roots can touch the soil.
I wonder if the spidermites are attracted to that substrate? Since you only have your one plant in that mineral substrate?.....that is what came to mind.....your collection of crawlers look amazing.....those long pots actually look pretty nice....your plants look happy and love all those roots! It is nice your plants are giving you surprises! You looked like us watching your videos for the first time!! Have a great evening :) excited to see whats next.....
I think it was the first time I picked it up in months so my surprise was genuine :D in theory the mineral substrate would reduce the likeliness if pests (obviously only if all my plants were in it). The mamei was a spidermite magnet even when she was in aroid mix before :( her leaves must be yummy
@@sydneyplantguy good to know! Yes I love how you caught your surprise on camera.....yes it must just be yummy leaves that the mamei has that those buggers bug for.....a world without pests I cannot imagine anymore either! Nice chatting with you :)
The Philodendron Pastazanum can definitely withstand more light! Mine is 1.5 - 2 meters away from a south facing window, the internodes are really short and the leafes are getting sooo big😍 ~40cm
Hi Jan, another super educational video! Question: is there any easy reference as which types of Philodendrons are crawlers vs. climbers (in addition to your collections here) and what about Monsteras? Are they are all climbers? thanks Calvin
Have you ever considered predator bug packs for your spider mite problem? Most of the bugs only have a short life cycle and chow down on spider mites and you can just hang a little pack of them on the plant and let them do all the work.
@@sydneyplantguy fair enough! I haven’t personally tried them at home but I know some people who have had good luck. I think they also don’t like to venture too far from the plant. Anyways love the videos and the plants man always look forward to watching your videos!
@@sydneyplantguy thank you! Someone told me to put one on mine as it will encourage growth but I found I had to manipulate it so badly to attach to the pole so I took it out and let it be free
Thanks to you I have started using GT FF and every time I am mixing it up to use I say to myself in your voice “weakly weekly” 😄😄 your first Merch slogan perhaps? I am going to try and grow some gloriosum in my garden (sub-tropical Oz) come spring. Fingers crossed it works. 🤞🤞🤞
It looks so much easier than growing a relationship
😅😅
yup good one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good one😅😅

I just bought a McDowell so I'm pretty nervous about caring for it so thanks for your advice.
your macdowell looks so great! like your video! but I think I will choose to be a tyrant and force my madowell to climb a mosspole😂
You are such an inspiration. Makes me want to try more different plants in my home
Thanks Keith :)
What is that red plant next to your crystallinum?
Mm i don’t think there is a crystallinum in this video but you’re probably referring to the oxalis triangularis
Where's Brad? Love your videos!
He was sleeping in the bedroom :P didn’t want to wake him
Have you ever considered having a moss pole that ran horizontally? Or do you think that’d be too difficult to water?
Kind of defeats the purpose in my opinion. If you’re after a horizontal surface for the plant to crawl along just use a pot right?!:)
Haha, yes … if you can find a big enough pot if you wanted to have a larger plant. The moss poles look nicer than pots imo.
I have a silver cloud, it is definitely a climber, not a crawler
Hi I want to get some advice regarding my Philo prince of orange please
Never grown it sorry
How can you tell which philos are climbers and which are crawlers? I just bought a Blushing Philodendron do I let it climb or crawl? It almost looked like it wants to crawl! 🤷🏻♀️
You can google and look at the way others have grown that plant or you just let the plant tell you by giving it a bit of time :)

Hehe thanks :)
loving your videos, let me ask how do you treat spider mites with your crawlers?
Vitality plus :)
Might be that the mineral substrate is best for the Mamei due to the spidermites: so regular showers are possible without having wet soil.
WRT ground crawlers being climbers of a sort... yes they often do in the wild.
They're not going to skate 15metres up a bole to the canopy - like those zippy true climbers.
But they can handle themselves on corky low buttressed etc.

I wish I have the room for large plants like these. I wonder if they actually come in small sizes too.

The Philodendron Pastazanum can definitely withstand more light! Mine is 1.5 - 2 meters away from a south facing window, the internodes are really short and the leafes are getting sooo big😍 ~40cm
Good to know :) thanks :)
Hi Jan, another super educational video! Question: is there any easy reference as which types of Philodendrons are crawlers vs. climbers (in addition to your collections here) and what about Monsteras? Are they are all climbers? thanks Calvin
Hey :) not to my knoweldge
@@sydneyplantguy I see. What about monsteras? I assume most, if not all, mostera varieties are climbers? thanks!
How do the roots not get root rot sitting in the water in the pan?
Root rot is caused by bacteria, not water :)
@@sydneyplantguy That makes sense, thank you!!
Have you ever considered predator bug packs for your spider mite problem? Most of the bugs only have a short life cycle and chow down on spider mites and you can just hang a little pack of them on the plant and let them do all the work.
I’m just not sure how I feel about releasing bugs in my apartment 😬 but have been thinking about it a lot haha
@@sydneyplantguy fair enough! I haven’t personally tried them at home but I know some people who have had good luck. I think they also don’t like to venture too far from the plant. Anyways love the videos and the plants man always look forward to watching your videos!
Put charcoal to avoid mites
Incredible!!!!!! As always!!
I would love to see your anthurium collection
I have recorded my anthurium collection already :) check out my ‘plant collection’ playlist :)
Omg 😱 finally RUclips. Subscribed 🤗
Thanks:)
Which pots are you using for your gloriosum? Is it lechuza?
They are linked in the description :)
@@sydneyplantguy ah thanks for the fast answer I must overread it 😅
Your channel is truly amazing 🤩
Thank you :)
Love your 🌱🌿!!! What a fantastic plant parent, you are!
Thanks:)
Would a moss pole benefit the plowmanii?
It’s a crawler so it doesn’t need one :)
@@sydneyplantguy thank you! Someone told me to put one on mine as it will encourage growth but I found I had to manipulate it so badly to attach to the pole so I took it out and let it be free
Thanks to you I have started using GT FF and every time I am mixing it up to use I say to myself in your voice “weakly weekly” 😄😄 your first Merch slogan perhaps?
I am going to try and grow some gloriosum in my garden (sub-tropical Oz) come spring. Fingers crossed it works. 🤞🤞🤞
Hehe happy growing :)
🙏🏾👍
