Such a lovely video. People often tell me my plants look perfect, but truth is I am always trimming them and checking on them in a daily basis. I have a lot of time to dedicate for my plants and I am so grateful. It's all about how much time you have to dedicate to your plants.
I think i overwater my plants, i think they call it "loving my plants too much" i need a plants that needs water everyday and my attention everyday because i look at them everyday, you know how people watch fish in a tank ? I do that with my plants i stare and stare until i notice they need somethibg like a leaf remove or water lol
@@yocomment4707 you can give plants attention everyday... By trimming them, misting them, propagating them, adding a humidifier, repotting, cleaning leaves, giving them showers (not the same as watering).... LOL believe me once you have over 100+ plants you get overwhelmed by giving them attention everyday that you start neglecthin them on a bad day. Just get a bunch of plants and you will see how much attention they need every day lol
I love your channel SO much!! Always to clear in what you're teaching, and to the point. I honestly love/adore the small language mixups/mishaps every once in a while, and think it's a touch of your personality showing when you correct yourself in just trying to be as clear and helpful as you can. Thank you SO much for always breaking everything down to simple steps and thoroughly explaining everything you're doing and showing us. You're so incredibly helpful, and my green children have improved so much since taking on many of your tips :) Much love from Texas!!
I use banana peels to clean my broad leaf indoor plants (monsteras, philodendrons etc - even fiddle leaf ficus) and they seem to love it. I also mist them with a weak epsom salts solution twice a month.
I can’t shower my plants or use a hose because where I live the city puts fluoride, chlorine and other nasty chemicals in our water system. I will however continue to use a microfibre cloth that has been soaked in distilled water to wipe off my plants. (I buy distilled water in small jugs from my grocery store). LOVE ALL your videos, very informative. Thank you.
Oh my, I'm horrible about trimming! So afraid I'll cut too much. But I've vowed to be almost brutal with the spearmint that I just potted or else it goes crazy! *You asked for suggestions on what plants to do videos on.... How about Platycerium bifurcatum "Netherlands"? As I live in Florida I will have the option of hanging it outside but would love to try growing it indoors. Appreciate any information you gentlemen could provide. Thank you so much for such a great channel!
is it okay to mix the last bits of different bags of soil into a rubber maid storage container and use it to repot? keeping in mind that some of the soil is a year or so old?
Thanks so much! Im a little bit worried about my Boston fern I got 5 months ago. I have pruned it but not cleaned it. Its doing fine but not growing at all.
How do I clean African violet leaves? They hate having water even touch the leaves. I've tried using a soft makeup brush to remove the dust and dirt but I'm not always able to get all of the leaves clean.
I just bought this plant and it came in a self watering pot but i took out the water because she seem too wet all the time and brown spots starting showing on a few leafs, what should i do. Also what type of light does she need? Bright indirect or ?
New subscriber here. Love your channel! Of all your videos I have watched, I have not seen you mention misting plants. Question: Do you encourage misting plants? What are the advantages/disadvantages to misting different types of plants? Thank you.
Good day. Why do you not use neem oil and soap during the wiping process? Is the reason similar to why we do not use "leaf shine" products? That it will collect debris and clog the stomata? I have several plant that I want to clean in the way you describe, but I was thinking it might be a good idea to add some neem oil and soap to the water as a prophylactic.
@@maryskakun6904 I had the same problem. Put it outside this past summer so it could grow a lot and feed predator bugs outside. Left it outside thru a couple of light frosts cause it looked good. Still saw thrips so it is now in a compost bin.
I am so sad! I have thrown a few out. I believe they have affected many. Trying to save some. Came in with an infected philodendron, of course you can't see them until the destruction.
.. 1 liter of water, 1 good tea spoon of neem oil, 5-10 drops of peppermint oil, 2-3 drop of dish soap and a good shake.. Spray on plant as in all over the plant and the top soil (until top soil is soaked) once a week for about 1 month.. You only see the adult pests, but you never see their eggs and larvae hidden in the soil.. You get them from overwatering, most of the times, and they spread to your other plants too.. And then you have a whole lot of trouble.. No mater what plant you might have, they need to dry out half way through before you water.. And never leave them standing in water as that will give the pests perfect conditions to live and spread.. I wish you all the best of luck 🤗
Often ficus benjamina, or Elastica or Lyrata are sold as multiple stems/trees in one pot. Is it harmful for a plant? Do I have to eventually separate those trees and move them into their own separate pots? Or can I just keep getting larger pot to accommodate growing roots? Thank you.
thelaughging face: One more question - I have been using filtered water on my Calatheas because my tap water is hard and has chemicals. Do I have to use filtered water when I am showering the leaves, or is tap water OK for that? Love your videos. !!!
Thank you for this video. I am sure you are right about wiping the leaves, but that is impractical for me with 120 plants, many with small leaves. Also, my water is too hard for showering. I don't want white calcium spots on my leaves, so I just give them a rainwater spray whenever. I had moderate success with Neem oil. Spider mites were repelled but returned in weeks. I had much more success with MissOrchidGirl's recipe: 1% paraffin oil in water with a bit of dish soap as an emulator. My Alocasia, Monstera and Fatsia are now free of spider mites and they had a great shine from the oil for months. It will likely kill some delicate plants though.
Hi Can you please help me with the bromeliad plant because it is dying due to over watering. I have repotted the plant but not sure how it is going to be 🙁.. please help
I use a neem oil solution to clean my leaves to help with pest prevention. It also has the benefit of making the leaves shiny. But is this bad for the stomata?
Many big box stores in US actually don't allow staff to care for plants. They DO require daily watering of all indoor plants. Directives from mgmt, not usually from someone who knows plant needs. Trimming can get one fired, really.
I check all plants as often I can. Isolate the ones with pests in the bathroom. Spray them with soap/oil solution every other day in the bathtub. Thoroughly. All the other non-quarantine pests, and previously-quarantine plants I spray or shower once a week. It's hard work but I will conquer the thrips this time. I learned that you think they're gone but they are not. This time I will not lower my guard but keep my suspicious eyes wide open. Magnified on the phone is helpful.

Hi there, do you have suggestions for what’s the best humidifier for indoor plants?
I have thrips, what can I do? I have used insecticidal soap, systemic granules and need oil. Everything but a bomb!
I had thrips on my split leaf Philip, I ended up throwing it out. Just got tired fighting with them 😃

.. No it is not bad at all.. Just add peppermint oil (5-10) drops and 2 drops of dish soap to your spray and just give them a good shower 🤗..
@@aingealtara1479 why the peppermint oil?
👍🏼🤩😀
Do you use cold or lukewarm water when showering your plants?
Not cold and not warm. Basically tepid. Too cold or hot can shock them
My local 'big box' obviously fired their trim staff. Some of the plant look so sad.
Many big box stores in US actually don't allow staff to care for plants. They DO require daily watering of all indoor plants. Directives from mgmt, not usually from someone who knows plant needs. Trimming can get one fired, really.
I have 2021 summer time thrips,so many things use like a need oil,predator but not working please help
Same here. Damn thrips. And all pesticides against thrips are now forbidden.
I check all plants as often I can. Isolate the ones with pests in the bathroom. Spray them with soap/oil solution every other day in the bathtub. Thoroughly.

Dead seed pods.....
MOST plants leaves wont turn green again, and if you shower it with hard water itll leave stains so be careful
I always end up watching your videos completely, although I start thinking they're too long! Always learn such a lot, thank you!
