The new camera and location look great! Love the silver sword in the hanger! WildFern has a florida ghost trailing down her fridge and i LOVE it! Waiting for mine to be big enough to trail! Trailing plants that aren't necessarily meang to trail always look so natural and wild, it's awesome!
I love this type of video ❤ it’s so fun seeing the growth! Especially on plants and succulents that it may be harder to notice growth on a daily basis ☺️
The camera looks amazing!!! As soon as you opened up the video I thought " Something's different..." in a good way. Your makeup looks so great, too. Plus I love these videos 💚🪴🌵
I’ve never had Mealys ever, then a couple months ago found a mammoth one on my Jaclyn. I treated it with all I could and just today found an even bigger one just chilling on her leaf!! I’m kinda glad I’m not the only one but so strange none of my other plants have them.
The camera looks so good. Watching the patreon video and this one back to back, its honestly such a difference. Well worth it in my opinion. Your content is going to get a huge upgrade and I'm so happy for it and you!
Love your new filming set-up & even with the back-light from your window, your new camera is giving a beautifully picture & can't wait for my Red Coral Cactus to fill out like yours - I've only had mine for a few months, so I guess next year will be its time. On a completely different topic, dresses 2 & 3 get my vote - stunning.
Good day! Hello Uulee and Claire from New Mexico USA. I very much enjoy your videos and use a lot of your pro tips for my small plant shop. I have a plant that's a pest magnet (Black Maranta) she now has her own extra large terrarium, and it's THRIVING. The terrarium looks like a cake plate with a top. It works wonderfully, and it can be on disolay and not tucked away where her beauty can be shared. Hope this helps. I also grow my Silver Sword as a hanging plant rather than climbing. It's huge.
Hey Claire, have you tried Silicic acid on your plants, before? I think it would be good for some of your more pest-prone plants (including the ones in semi-hydro). Basically, Siliclic acid is a type of chemical that plants consume which helps with overall resilience to everything, including light, pests and drought. The only thing you need to do is balance the pH when you mix it with your nutrient solution. So you put the water in first, then the silicic acid, then you balance the pH to 6.4, then you add the nitrition, pH balance again, and then you water your plants with it, and it's supposed to massively increase your plants overall health. Just do some research on it if you do start it, doing it wrong can ruin your nutrient mixture and turn a cloudy white colour.
Love to see the comparisons! As someone who loves the verrucosum but can't seem to keep one pest free, my new love is my verrucosum x fibrosum! With rounder, brighter leaves than the splendid, and so far free of pests...
Looks really good Claire with the new camera. I like a good comparison, I scroll back on my Planta app to see how much all of mine have grown. Especially good with the cacti and succulents that sometimes don't look like they're growing much, but they really are!
I like the new camera! I noticed something different right away, initially I thought it was the lighting! I like seeing the updates and you explaining what the plant growth and care was like for you. It helps give me an idea of what it's like to grow that plant.
I received a couple of Hoya carnosa cuttings from an older neighbour who has had his plant for decades. They rooted up really well and they are growing beautifully. It's such a gorgeous plant and has a different look to the more 'modern' forms that I have seen in nurseries. Mine looks like yours!
Love the camera and your vids!, Would really like list of plants you talk abt in your description so I can refer back/search for them in my local market. Thanks!
I can see your new camera has really good autofocus. And now I can see almost all your plants in the living room :) Yes, my Silver Sword in my office is also a hanging plant. It's not so big as yours but looks nice in that shape. There was simply not enough space up to grow it vertically. Thanks a lot for the video.
I like the new camera and I love how you're growing the silver sword. I don't like climbing plants and have avoided philodendron as a result even though I love the color of the silver sword. I've also seen a narrow form that doesn't have deep lobes that I prefer more
Love this new angle and love your new camera! You can really appreciate your beautiful plant collection!! For my Verrucosum and a few other plants that are up high on a shelf away from my fur babies I have started using systemic granules because I am so tired of spider mites and mealy bugs. I have no idea where they come from because I haven’t introduced any new plants in forever! I’ve actually given away some plants that just aren’t doing it for me anymore. I’m puzzled…but so far the granules have been working.
Your plants look lovely! I have a question. I have an alocasia that I've grown from a corm and now i need to acclimate it. Can I just brute force it and if it looses leafs so be it? Or do I have to slowly acclimate it? Because the current leafes aren't very pretty and I don't think I'll remember to open/ close the lid to acclimate it.
Another GREAT video! Love the new camera and location. A big step up. No more kitchen shots? And, maybe it's just me, but with this new camera you actually are looking at the camera versus off to the side. My jacklyn seems to attract spider mites. All I've tried is to go outside and use a soft paint brush, then predatory mites. seems to be working.
Lovely video! 🪴But can you make a tutorial on how you used you Phone for RUclips? I have one of the newer iPhones but struggling with video quality when it’s The slightest dark, even tho I using ring light and filming in cinematic mode. I’m also struggling whit the space on my phone for longer videos. It could be really helpful with som advice ❤ Sincerely someone who would love to make more content 😅
The reason I've never filmed from this angle before is because of exactly what you're experiencing with the iphone. Lighting on a phone camera often looks much different, and I found it often made things look really dark and grainy. I would always find spots with a window behind the camera lense to shoot from and it helped the quality to look much better 💚
I put my Phil. Verrucosum in semi hydro and had it in great light in the Same room as my other Phils. Almost every leaf turned brown at some point and i was kind of over it. So i brought it in my kitchen to throw it away some time soon and kinda left it there to die, but it did not want to, so I watered it every now and then. And all of a sudden it started to bring me one immaculate leave after another and i kept it there and it is thriving. Standing in a north facing window and slightly cooler temperatures and a slightly more humid enviroment does a verrucosum good, i guess. 🤷🏼♂️😊
that camera quality is amazing!! quick question… if you have a hoya cutting that’s been cut on both ends, does it take longer to push out new leaves? i’ve had mine almost four months and no new growth other than roots. i’ve kinda hit a brick wall with it as never experienced this before.
It can take longer in my experience. I've had a wetstick section of my hoya krimson queen in a prop box, and it's only started putting out new growth in the last couple of weeks (it's been in the box for about 8 months)
I would talk to Sydney Plant Guy about the Verricosum. His is huge & beautiful. He’s doing something right. Regarding all the pest issues, Bronide mixed in the soil takes care of most of them.
The green really pops with your new camera! I have a question about the Alocasia Jacklyn. I would like to transfer mine to Pon as well. I received some pots with a reservoir and a wick with a recent purchase. Would the wick keep everything too wet? Should I just use the container without it? Thanks! Love your videos.
With your verrucosum, I think you'll just have to resign yourself to chopping the top and replanting on a regular basis. My Verrucosum has four or five gorgeous top leaves but loses the bottom leaves no matter what the humidity. The bottom will resprout....hopefully, and you can keep adding them to the same moss pole for a fuller looking plant. I honestly think it's just their nature. HIGH MAINTENANCE!!
Hi! New subscriber here and I have a question. I just got two little Alocasias (a bit less than the length of my hand) and they’re rooted in soil. I want to transition them to pon but not sure if I should water propagate them first or just transfer directly to pon. So many different recs online and it would be helpful if you can give any advice based on your experience with Alocasias. Your videos have been so helpful!
Hello! I just recently got hooked on houseplants and found your awesome channel. Your plants are gorgeous and I love all the information you provide in your videos. I wanted to ask if you had a reason for giving away your Silver Dragon Alocasia (as stated in your alocasia video from a while back) and if you would get one again in the future? Also, if you have any tips for caring for them. I just picked one up the other day at an amazing price and it's beautiful!
Hi Claire, my name is Elaine, I’m in the uk South Yorkshire and watch loads of your RUclips videos. I’ve only just come across this side by side growth comparison video. I have fallen in love with your Hoya sp burtoniae aff. I have looked high and low for the same Hoya as this but none of them seem to have the same stunning leaves as yours. Would you please be able to recommend where I can get this particular Hoya from. I would be greatfull. Thanks, Elaine
If you like jungle cacti, have you tried schlumbergera/rhipsalidopsis (christmas/thanksgiving/easter cacti)? Appreciate they might be 'old fashioned' but I like them ^_^
Wow, this new camera makes such a difference! ❤
The lightening etc is terrific! And you look even more adorable with the new camera as well! Make more videos Claire!
Absolutely love the new camera and angle 💚 everything looks soooo beautiful 💚

You plants and You look absolutely beautiful 🫶🏾🪴

Jolie is gorgeous 🥰 I wish we could see more of her 😊
She's a sweetie isn't she!? She loves getting involved off camera, but often tends to sleep when I film 😂
Love both hoya and jungle cactus, your plants in backgound look great, love your video's
Great camera view. Your plants really sized up. Thanks for sharing Claire!
The new camera has you glowing! Loving this angle too!
TFS Claire 🎉

just started watching after 7 months? Plants in your flat look BEAUTIFUL!!
i really love a before and after video. It amazing to see how much a plant grows over a period of time.
Thank you for sharing
Love the new view!
I love your new camera it’s nice to see all your plants in the background ❤
when you said, "representative of howd they be in nature, in my home". Im like yup u get a sub

Ooooh very interesting! I'll look into this, thank you!
Love this. Thank you for including how you acquired, substrate and other growing conditions.
I absolutely LOVE! this set up and angle! It gives you the perfect view with maximum Plantage for the space!!❤
Love to see the comparisons!
As someone who loves the verrucosum but can't seem to keep one pest free, my new love is my verrucosum x fibrosum! With rounder, brighter leaves than the splendid, and so far free of pests...
My verrucosum went CRAZY in my high humidity greenhouse cabinet, I DEFINITELY recommend putting yours in your cabinet!
I enjoy the updates. Great to see what's possible. Have a lovely day.
Great advice about the use of pon for Alocacias. None of the ones I've had in soil have done well.
Your sound is SO much better!!
Looks really good Claire with the new camera. I like a good comparison, I scroll back on my Planta app to see how much all of mine have grown. Especially good with the cacti and succulents that sometimes don't look like they're growing much, but they really are!
The difference since you moved to your new flat is drastic and amazing! I noticed the video quality immediately, chefs kiss 👌🏻💚
New camera is amazing! The clarity and color is fab and you look radiant!
I like the new camera! I noticed something different right away, initially I thought it was the lighting! I like seeing the updates and you explaining what the plant growth and care was like for you. It helps give me an idea of what it's like to grow that plant.
Love the view!
Love the Red Coral Cactus, love the new camera, love that you're looking at us during the video! Wonderful to see the growth updates!
Whoa!!!! The quality it outstanding!!! What’s the name of the camera!?
Thank you, I'm so happy with it! It's a Sony ZV1
Love the new background and your new camera is great. ❤❤❤
Love the New angle ❤ looks stunning!

Thanks for the great video. I love seeing the progression of your plants like that. So nice to realise how much plants can grow in not that much time.
Love the camera and your vids!, Would really like list of plants you talk abt in your description so I can refer back/search for them in my local market. Thanks!

Hi Jolie 😊💫
Grow lights don't relocate the UV spectrum of light. You would have to try it in sunlight to see if it shows red.
The new camera looks fantastic! I love comparisons like this and wish I was better about taking pics when I get new plants.
Love the new view😊
Cute hair 😍
The camera is amazing 😍
I like the new camera and I love how you're growing the silver sword. I don't like climbing plants and have avoided philodendron as a result even though I love the color of the silver sword. I've also seen a narrow form that doesn't have deep lobes that I prefer more
You look pretty 😊
I love growing videos!
Does anyone else voice Claire’s intro with her as she does it? 😅💚
Love this new angle and love your new camera! You can really appreciate your beautiful plant collection!!

All I've tried is to go outside and use a soft paint brush, then predatory mites. seems to be working.
I can film from all angles now and luckily it comes out well - yayyyy! The jacklyn can be a nightmare for pests!
I like comparison videos, good job showing the b4 and after. Ngl the silver sword looks like it would be unruly eventually.
I am pretty sure the red refers to the flower color.
Love the glow ups! #algorithmcomment ❤
