Sean, this is the first time I've seen you so relaxed when presenting, even when you are filming away from home, that nervous energy was not there. Could be because you are now in your own environment, and a lot more relaxed mentally. Congratulations on all you have achieved so far. 💛
I usually get impatient watching long plant care videos but you're such nice company that I love watching your long videos! I don't know how the hell you managed to keep making videos and updating us during the move, but kudos to you and I hope you're having a better time settling in to your new place
😀🙏🏽 I have the best time doing it. Next episode where I repot hundreds of plants is also very satisfying. We learn a lot from the root structure and care history!
Your voice and your passion for plants makes all of this overwhelming information much more easier to process! So thank you for that!! It was so enjoyable to see all the plants! 😊
thank you for showing how to tell the difference between over and underwatering. I am battling a couple plants that i have been thinking are over watered and after watching your video I think they are completely underwater ed ! thx so much for the time you take to really explain things…
Thank you for this incredibly soothing video! I'm having with my first experience with pests after 7 months of being a plant parent- thrips, extreme difficulty. This is while we're getting less daylight, a lot of rain and cloudy days, and a cold front where temperatures will drop to freezing for about a week. I know that pests and death are a natural part of plant life, but it's hard not to be discouraged when a lot of my plants that weren't doing well last month are pushing out new growth (in particular, a root rotted calathea medallion that I rescued from a local nursery, which I split up into individual rhizomes and almost all of them sprouted new shoots! Couldn't have done it without your videos). I'm scared for my plants, but the biggest lesson I've learned from your channel is that plants live, they die, and they live again (to quote Mad Max lol). So it brings me comfort to see someone else's plant collection recuperating!
😀 thrips are some of the trickiest, more so than spidermites. Find a pest control regime that works and you will find the process calming. I love pest control days… its like hunting down pests and really trying to read signs by looking carefully
Hey, Sean. Was looking for a good video on this topic since my plants lookd kind of overgrown. Right on time! Huge thank you for your channel and informative videos!
Thank you. This was very informative on the many illnesses of plans and how pruning can help: Leaves have their own life cycle and decay: doing maintenance pruning on dead leaves will allow the energy of the plant to go towards new growth. Illnesses: Browning on tip with yellow lining: -Plants expel water to the tip of the plant, so when it's over watered the excess can't escape and it turns brown and dries up. -solution: Browning on the side or middle of a leaf: -Likely fungal or bacterial infection -Make sure not to let the leaves touch other plants Solution: cutting along the dried brown so that green isn't exposed (or else the open wound can become reinfected) Fully dried up leaves (underwatered) Solution: prune off dead leaves completely if more than 50%, because it's using more energy to sustain a sick leaf than it gains from photosynthesis Brown or black crisping on leaf without yellow line: -underwater Repotting: When repotting, some of the roots may be stripped away (perhaps if you have root rot or in his case moving) -Now the plant is sustaining the same amount of foliage with half as many roots Solution: trim away some of the green so the energy from the roots can sustain the plant
Very satisfying plant make over! 🪴😂 your camera woman did a great job! I know that frustration when cutting off a brand new leaf on a maiden hair fern. 😫 Hope you are well Sean! 💚 Natalie
I have SO much work to do in my yard, it's a huge block and it's sub-tropical where I am. It's been so hot and humid and intermittently pouring rain, the creek is so full... basically it's a jungle out there 😅😅 you've motivated me to get out there... once the heat backs off and it dries up!!
you had my attention from the beginning till the end.. had good tips and info that I never knew about. I couldn't stop laughing at "The caterpillar "... Thank you #onlyplants for taking time out to make this Video.
Yellowing on the side of leaves could be bacterial or funfal infection. Usually water related stress occurs at the tip of the leaves towards the front.
I loved this entire video. My only disagreement is where you mentioned sheering away the "brown" edges for a hot date or any other company. Next level plant betrayal right there.
I have a lot of cattepillar in the garden. If they get into the house, I use a broom or tissue paper to help them out again. I never kill them coz I believe that they r exist for a reason. 🌻😊
Ooh yes actually theres rust removal solutions which I use from time to time. The new vids have clean pruners 😀 Ive figured to store the pruners in the living room instead of the backyard where it gets high humidity.
Yeahhh but this one has died maybe more than 10 times in the 3 years I have had it. It kept coming back of course… but I think I needed a change from this vicious cycle. Ive got 3-4 pots of lush maiden hair ferns actually 😀

I think the anxiety I felt in the last few months have come down as I settle into my new life 😀

I don't know how the hell you managed to keep making videos and updating us during the move, but kudos to you and I hope you're having a better time settling in to your new place
also using the silent portion of the vid as a meditation, everytime you trim a plant i imagine all the bad energy being cut off of my life hahah
He has a nice soothing voice. Often fall asleep during his videos lol!
Yes that is the purpose hehe
Whoaaaa 🙈 that is such a compliment, thank you
Thank youu. I enjoy sharing knowledge and sending out positive energy into the universe
It’s satisfying even watching someone else prune and groom their plants! I’m sure your plants thank you!!
😀🙏🏽 I have the best time doing it. Next episode where I repot hundreds of plants is also very satisfying. We learn a lot from the root structure and care history!
So satisfying… trimming up plants and making them look beautiful again. Your new place is looking great. Thanks for taking us along
Thank you for coming with 😀
Your such a gentleman 😊 love your information in your AWSOME videos. I make a cuppa & watch & learn from your videos.. thank you so much…
Thank you ❤️❤️
Your voice and your passion for plants makes all of this overwhelming information much more easier to process! So thank you for that!! It was so enjoyable to see all the plants! 😊
🥰🥰
Sean, your smile is beautiful. 😇 And I really like the silent part, very relaxing.
Whoaaa thank youuu
thank you for showing how to tell the difference between over and underwatering. I am battling a couple plants that i have been thinking are over watered and after watching your video I think they are completely underwater ed ! thx so much for the time you take to really explain things…
😀😀
Do check the soil too, the best way is to stick a finger in or use a moisture meter
I love this video so much! I LOVE pruning plants it’s so satisfying!
Thats right
Its an incredibly healing process. Hope the plants will recover soon, it was an incredibly stressful move for them.
Glad to know that you should squeeze and shake your calathia. Learned something new. Thank you Sean
Yaye, they hate being suffocated in compacted soil
Maybe I can keep them alive now lol

Thanks very much brother Sean for sharing how to purn and rehability the beautiful plants
Thank you kak
Good vid. Thank you Sean.
Every stage has every dressing room.
A green room? Yes.
😀
Enjoyed this. I May have to request other plant vloggers to do same content, this way I get to see their plants up close
😀
Really appreciate the time u take to help everyone out with ur advice and time! Thank u so much
🙏🏽🙏🏽
You definitely look much happier in this video!
Yes things are finally looking up! It was a sad 3 months seeing the plants decline day by day and feeling powerless
Hey, Sean. Was looking for a good video on this topic since my plants lookd kind of overgrown. Right on time! Huge thank you for your channel and informative videos!
I agree with you
Whoaaa thank you 😀🙏🏽

Thank you. This was very informative on the many illnesses of plans and how pruning can help:
Leaves have their own life cycle and decay: doing maintenance pruning on dead leaves will allow the energy of the plant to go towards new growth.
Illnesses:
Browning on tip with yellow lining:
-Plants expel water to the tip of the plant, so when it's over watered the excess can't escape and it turns brown and dries up.
-solution:
Browning on the side or middle of a leaf:
-Likely fungal or bacterial infection
-Make sure not to let the leaves touch other plants
Solution: cutting along the dried brown so that green isn't exposed (or else the open wound can become reinfected)
Fully dried up leaves (underwatered)
Solution: prune off dead leaves completely if more than 50%, because it's using more energy to sustain a sick leaf than it gains from photosynthesis
Brown or black crisping on leaf without yellow line:
-underwater
Repotting:
When repotting, some of the roots may be stripped away (perhaps if you have root rot or in his case moving)
-Now the plant is sustaining the same amount of foliage with half as many roots
Solution: trim away some of the green so the energy from the roots can sustain the plant
Thank you for this ❤️

Thank you ❤️
I too am merciless in pruning. Plants look better and don’t expend energy on the dead and dying. 👏👏👏
Yess, it encourages healthy growth, and a renewed future ❤️

Thanks for coming along 😀
Arghhhh i screamed along when you accidentally cut that baby leaf!!RIP..😹...Hello from KL..Loving ur channel so much!!
Haha this plant is fast growing on the bright side 😅
Love to see how you do your cleaning-up!!!❤️👍
😀
18:07 woah what plant is that, it has a cool stem on them 🤩
Its a rabbits foot fern, in the Davallia genus. Theres quite a lot of species of them, not sure which one I have but its a very common variety
Helpful video.thank you Sean😊
❤️❤️
Lots of love from St Lucia.
🥰❤️❤️
Very relaxing and informative!
😀😀
4:18 good to know I've been cutting them wrong. I've been cutting the fresh tissue. ty
😀😀
Sean, the stealth planter! ; )
Hehe
very good info! Thanks!
❤️❤️
What is the plant at 24:55 ? I cant get over the white stem and hot pink.
Its an aglaonema pink legacy 🙌🏽
ah... the rush sound of dried leaves pruning is so therapeutic.
Yes I wish I can do a ASMR video soon. When theres no more construction noise going on. Or maybe I can prune leaves in the forest 😅
@@onlyplants perhaps turn off the audio or add free smoothing music to mask the noise. Like those of ig, i don't kw really.
Woww, what is the name of the plant with green leaves at 17:09, Sean?
It is a begonia manaus I believe 😀
omggg shawn lots of live learnt alot from your videos love from nepal
Yayeee 😀
Extra....belle demonstration merci.....
🙏🏽😀
Can i sterilize my pruning shears by washing them with soap and water? And what if theres a little yellow on the side of the leaves but no browning?
Yes you can but they do rust over time especially with repeated washing. You can try burning sometimes, and maybe alcohol spray works too
Yellowing on the side of leaves could be bacterial or funfal infection. Usually water related stress occurs at the tip of the leaves towards the front.
I loved this entire video. My only disagreement is where you mentioned sheering away the "brown" edges for a hot date or any other company. Next level plant betrayal right there.
Lmaooo
What potting mix u use for aglonema? I already killed 3 due to overwatering. U really love that white fusion
I use the forest floor potting mix. Or general is ok too. They hate water actually… and is extremely drought tolerant.
Amazing how I find cutting bad leaves so therapeutic 😂
I really enjoy the process. I wish I can prune every plants I see in public sometimes lol
The "caterpillar" impostor 🐛😅
Haha good thing birds dont swoop in to take a bite
Yes!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Omg the caterpillar almost gave me a heart attack 💀
My soul jumped out of my body for a second lol
I have a lot of cattepillar in the garden. If they get into the house, I use a broom or tissue paper to help them out again. I never kill them coz I believe that they r exist for a reason. 🌻😊
So helpful!!
😀😀
Are you associated with Aroid Market? I’ve imported from them a few times and they’re in Jakarta. Their plants are always 10/10.
Ive not heard of Aroid market. They may not have a presence here in Indonesia… ill keep an eye out
Hi Sean.. how are you doing..
Im good here thanks 😀 but the plants have suffered a lot during the house move and on the way to recovery. Hope you are doing well!
Yess Im also doing well.
Nice 😊😊😊.
Thank youu
wouldnt it be a good idea to buy some new pruners? i allways see you work with those super rusty ones
Ooh yes actually theres rust removal solutions which I use from time to time. The new vids have clean pruners 😀 Ive figured to store the pruners in the living room instead of the backyard where it gets high humidity.
My angel hair totally died, but it resurrected after a week . So don’t throw the pot yet
Yeahhh but this one has died maybe more than 10 times in the 3 years I have had it. It kept coming back of course… but I think I needed a change from this vicious cycle. Ive got 3-4 pots of lush maiden hair ferns actually 😀
