Great greenhouse and lovely video! Don't worry about Paraiso "reverting" - their variegation depends on temperature + light. So you can expect it in summer to have beautiful variegated leaves, and in winter - green leaves :)
I'm just happy to have the darn plant at all lmao. I can play around with the variegation eventually but I'm so happy to have gotten it from a friend *is grateful* But yeah, mine's COMPLETELY green lloll
@@sydneyplantguy They can take some time, mine spent all summer being mostly green, pushed out a variegated leaf and by then it was winter so it's back to green now 😆 they are temperamental
This video has been one of the best to lose myself in beautiful, lush, green growth...we are sitting here in Tuscany with another winter storm coming in, temperatures falling, wind blowing around my poor frosted garden...and yet I can dream of the warmer, better times through your great photography and chat! No problem with the exposure of this episode, either...it's seeing that greenhouse in all its glory that we love...so please keep it going! We'll be sitting right there with you!
You’re the reason I started growing on moss poles, initially found you on Instagram. You’re also the reason I found Grow Vertical and have been switching the majority of my climbers to Tim’s poles. Come to think of it you’re also the reason I found GT Foliage Focus lol. Thanks Jan for converting my collection to a vertical jungle fed by GT haha.
@@sydneyplantguy definitely a good influence….bad for the wallet but it’s ok since I have a wall of green beauties to enjoy now. I also fell in love with the Verrucosum because of yours and have 3 of them now lol.
I think gardening is great for the mind and body! And greenhouses are great for learning different things..I've had my greenhouse for 2 years loved it so much I built a bigger and better one! Lol. PLANTS MAKE ME HAPPY! LOL .. Thanks for inviting us along
The greenhouse is looking incredible, Jan! Your pitcher plant has really taken off. Thanks for all of the care you put into your videos, it’s greatly appreciated 🌿😺🌿
I'm glad you mentioned this...I thought Jan transplanted this into a larger hanging pot before it went into the greenhouse...cause, I have one that won't grow pitcher's and wondered if I needed to do the same...x
Great spending the afternoon with you Jan, everything looks lush & healthy. Your glasshouse is like the tardis machine in Dr Who, plants keep coming out 😂😂
In the summer, I use a "screenhouse" . I just put mosquito netting on the frame of the greenhouse (I take off the plastic cover). This protects them, from too much wind, pests critters, but they still benefit from the rain and airflow, and unlikely to get overheated like they would in a greenhouse. Our winters are way too cold for them to stay outside. (St. Louis, MO, usa) I have many simple design ideas about homes where plantcare would be easier.
I love how you just get in there and get on with it. You make it look so easy and fuss free. I spend so much time procrastinating about repotting just one plant 😂
I also cut alocasia flowers of as soon as I can! I’ve learned that cutting them makes the plant stay more compact, because they spread out the leaves to give light to the flowers, not sure if it’s true tho😁 My greenhouse is under my balcony so it doesn’t fly away with the wind or gets crushed by the snow😆 love that I can watch you have summer when its freezing over here🤩
Liked this video alot. I know you can't possibly work as fast as what the video portrays, but it is amazing to watch so much get completed it what appears to be a short time. Even so I do think you are a natural, so efficient with your repotting etc.
The greenhouse looks amazing! This video motivated me to do a lot of plant chores I had been putting off. The way you are so efficient with your plant care inspired me to think of how I can make my process more efficient. Thank you, Jan!
Everything looks so great! I would leave the paraíso verde somewhere outside with a few hours in the actual sun. It’s super resilient don’t worry about burning it cause it just won’t =). There was a monstera you used to call a “Brazil form” that I was sure was a burle Marx flame, that one also needs direct sun. Haven’t seen it there did you give it away? Happy days from Brazil!
Thank you, might try :) definitely not a butle marx flame, it’s a form of deliciosa and iver here we refer to it as ‘brazilian form’ :) it’s outside so gets a bit of direct sun ever day :)
Thank you so much for this video! The dreem greenhouse. It is beautiful, fascinating cos of plants, but also the way the sun goes through glass. 😍 I'am sure you work a lot to make it become this little paradise. Amazing. 😊
Good days work and great video, thanks Jan 🤩😍 I felt as though we were meeting a large number of new and interesting plants for the first time? I love that you keep it interesting going in new directions.
Wow, a lot of plants fit into that greenhouse! I had some good laughs when you found your surprise begonia (gorgeous), and the moss box etc, I can see myself in these moments, discovering "forgotten starts and projects.
Love the greenhouse! I agree that people overreact to pests. I’ve had spider mites on a plant that’s on a table with six other plants, and none of the other plants had them.
Beautiful greenhouse! And your dark syngonium with burgundy underleaf is Syngonium erythrophyllum "Llano-Carti Road" , named after the location in Panama where it was collected
Thanks for the long video Jan 😎 Would you consider using mainly slow release in your greenhouse rather than liquid fertilizer? Or would you consider adding gt to your misting tank LOL
The misters are attached to a tap so can’t use nutrients through them, also reckon it might block the mister heads in the long run. Will defjnitely consider some slow release in the pot :)
I love the greenhouse. All of the plants look so beautiful. I'm glad that the greenhouse has brought you more inspiration and new challenges which will keep your hobby growing. You will also have more experience with growing plants in different environments. Your indoor plants seem to be doing just as fabulous. I think it is fair to say that you have a green thumb. Thanks again for a fun and educational video!
Awesome, terrible morning but at least I get to 'hang' with you for a bit so to speak :) With a thin layer of snow here, the greenhouse backdrop and summer vibes help a bit.. Good timing!
Merci pour cette vidéo, plus constructive et instructive pour moi, que celles, toujours agréables, où vous montrez vos plantes les plus spectaculaires.. Merci beaucoup ! 👍 et🍀
I don't know if it's my adhd or what, but in the time it takes you to do all the plants in this video, I am still inspecting roots and wrestling with the moss pole like a crazy person, for one single plant. 🤦🏻😫😵💫
if you have a home smart system then that could get weather information from the internet, plus your sensors in the greenhouse. then you can setup rules to decide how the mister and what nor are running. It will either be expensive or you need to figure out and set up a lot yourself (or maybe you have a friend) We have a home smart system for our lights and my husband is constantly improving it, but he likes it and doesn´t mind to spend time on it. For example he has lights setup to turn on based of open doors and the time the sun rises/sets.
Hey Jan , i follow you since a long time , i am from Belgium , i think there in Sydney it can get cold but not freezing as i see you have own a greenhouse , here in Belgium even with a greenhouse you would need to heath it to overwintering most of the tropical aroids, i believe they support minimum 10°C , i have no idee about climat in Australia , we here think it is very hot in the whole country but i presume de Southern side must be a little like in South Africa but not as we have here in Belgium , were i am is still the hottest of Belgium cos i am close to the see side and the see wind makes it little temperate as in landwards as the wind blows mostly from the west side , i have bought a greenhouse but i am afraid i would need a heather , i wish i lives in a more temperate region 😁 but yes humans a never satisfied , gras seems always greener by the Neighbours , so i believe i would have to keep all my plant collection in my living room 😅the problem is that i have accumulate my numbers in my collection that it be came to much , but never enough to me 🤣every time i say , O.K Carl , that's the very last one 🙄🤔🤪 time and time again , it started before covid with Orchids and than it progress to all other kind of aroids , and the lots of video's on RUclips , and than everything was kind of hopeless to find solvation hahahaha , yes i am hit by the virus , i did not knowing Covid had this countereffects 🤭 tanks for your share Bro 😉 i like it ❤❤
Another great video! I have a question? Why don't you tuck the pole extension inside so when you water the pole it runs inside as opposed to outside? Just wondering? That bird was incredible 🐦🐦
you could consider using slow release fertilizer for your greenhouse plants, maybe only a little so you still need to use your preferred fertilizer but if you forget, they still have something available. I think wild fern was doing that at one point, not sure if she still does.
Hello. I totally agree with you on the plant topic of Condition vs Care. Since a greenhouse is a controlled environment, the ideal would be to have an automated system that would regulate the conditions inside. Too hot, windows open and vice versa. Too cold, temperature rises and vice versa Too dry….. you get the idea This Winter I have more lights and I am switching some plants to PON. Since I do not want too much humidity I haven’t started my humidifier yet but instead, I put several containers filled with water around the place and so far no feeling of dryness and my hygrometer keeps oscillating between 60 and 65% humidity. Not too bad. Edit: can you do a plant car video for your rhipsalises
Love it when I can't sleep, and a new video from you pops up. 😉I've been on a plant chore kick lately. Having fun. Your greenhouse is sooo beautiful. I love it!! I'm learning and getting so inspiration from you. I'll be purchasing a home soon and I'm definitely building a greenhouse! I've been raising around 150-170 plants for a few years now, and right now, I appreciate feeling great and enthusiastic about taking care of my collection. (It's not always that way) Where I'm from, Spring is around the corner, and I'm already setting myself and my collection up for a successful season. Super excited, Lol! Much love from across the globe!❤🪴
My paraiso reverted as well since winter, temp is the same in here but I had her on the floor I still appreciate plants without variegation I’m only a year old plant person still, however I did just get a Thai Constellation I found for “cheap” it’s sooo pretty and not so variegated that I’ll lose leaves I sold my big normal monstera cause there were so many plants in one pot facing all directions, I repurchased one way smaller with a single stem in it and put it on a moss pole, I wanna see those mature leaves I hear you about getting to the end of the learning about growing indoors, as with anything, if I’m not learning anything new anymore about whatever it is, including work, I get bored and want to quit, I’ll have to amp my collection up at some point too, for now, I’m still learning
Cool Nepenthes!! A friend mainly grows Sarracenia, bit more suited for the Dutch climate... The plan is to make a small bog garden with them this or next year. Will try a Nepenthes indoors in the future, I've seen some videos of people growing them in a windowsill
You are my inspiration and my hero! My career has always involved horticulture and I, too had to 'switch it up' to stay passionate...you have done this for me. I now collect Aroids, make my own Aroid medium and moss poles! I am once again enthralled. I must ask why you don't use velcro strapping (reusable) for securing the trunks to the poles. It always makes me wince to see you use wire...I am concerned about the wire cutting into the trunks as they grow. I look forward to watching your vids...old and new...you are the retirement I can afford and you give me joy in so many ways!...New England USA has loooooonnnnngggg winters and grow lights are less expensive than heating a greenhouse! Cheers to you...x
Nice to see you again. How are your proteas and banksias doing? I hope you found a sunny spot for them. Can you speak about how to fertilize them? I think they don’t like phosphorus? Can I use regular potting soil?
Hey :) they are doing well on my balcony atm. I have not fertilised them yet but will repot them soon into a natuve mix with native slow release fertiliser. I believe they want a fairly acidic soil so don’t use regular potting soil
Soo nice your greenhouse! It’s lie a dream, really🎉 Alocasia Melo is such a pain in the ass… I am pretty good with alocasias in general, but Melo is particularly frustating
how do ur plants all look so healthy with those misters??? i know you have a fan in there, but i also have a fan in my plant room but the slightest bit of additional humidity and the leaves start suffering from fungal issues, makes me wanna throw the plants in the bin
@@sydneyplantguy I love to see your interaction with Bradley, the way you communicate with Brad brings pure joy to my heart. Thanks for sharing your daily life with us. ❤️ From 🇸🇬
I am only the crazy "burn it" type when it comes to mealy bugs because they are SO EFFING HARD to get rid of in certain plants. Just the thought of mealy bugs makes me want to puke lol. But with other pests, a good dunk in soapy water and some captain jacks dead bug will do!
I think we need a video all about smelling for root rot. Come on. No one has done it, I’m sure. What does it smell like? Thanks for the video- I learn something EVERY time I watch you care for your plants. In this case, I’ve learned root rot has a special smell. Maybe you can train Brad to sniff it out.
Super gorgeous greenhouse with such happy lush plants! I finally put mine together after several months of having it, it’s a used greenhouse. I needed the inspo and had to look at what you’ve done to get me started. Your misters are brilliant! Do you turn off the fan when you put on the mister.? Or do you not use the fan anymore?
So from Trinidad and Tobago. It is not easy to source sphagnum moss here. We do get it but it's either in limited quantities or very expensive. I got some and made some moss poles; my babies have never looked better. The problem is when they outgrow the pole, I may not have any moss to extend. Is there anywhere you think I coulyd source the moss in larger quantities to import it into the island? US or UK preferably
Do you have any help on screen while filming to check lighting, like a curve for lighting for example?? That always gives me some piece of mind, knowing whether I can fix lighting a bit in post. Around 20 minutes the over exposure does not bother me, the entire shot looks fresh and it gives you a bit of "angel lighting"... our plant savior😆🙇♂
I technically do but to get everything in frame my camera is so far away, i can’t see the screen anymore 😅 when filmkng outside it’s hard because the sun keepa coming out etc so exposure constantly changes… i let the camera do its thing 😅
I thought about it but worried a body of water will just make the mossie issue worse … see how I go :) i might look into it when I have a little more time :) i got him over 6 years ago because he was just too cute! Couldn’t say no to adopting him :)
hi jan, i’ve been in love with ur greenhouse for as long as u had it it’s perfect. just one question: some plants in there seem to receive very low light and are shaded. does this affect ur growth in any way?
Hi there from Canada you’ve probably said this before but I’m wondering how do you keep your moss poles moist? Do you put a cup on the top of each one or do you water it separately? Thanks so much.
Thanks again for reminding everyone ( keep repeating for the newbies) the difference between care and conditions and the importance of identifying the cause and effects of said conditions and getting to know each plant to be an effective grower. The misinformation coming from the big box store plants like Calathea " great beginner plant" or not even an ID just an esthetic vibe this plant will bring your space, huh? Then dont even get me started on the rediculous plant aps that supposedly set your plant chore schedule and magically tell you what your plant needs. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of being a plant parent if you're just relying on a screen time babysitter, don't you think? That might make a fun video, debunking a plant app or finding what value or accuracy one could bring? On a different note, the CCS instructions say to be careful not to get on leaves as it may deform them. I use CCS in all the ways you described, except in a sprayer for fear it would get all over. Maybe a close up shot of your spraying technique?? Great value in your content as always.😻
Haha those plant apps are so cringey :D I try (not very hard) to not get it on the leaves but definitely can't fully avoid it and haven't noticed any issues ... suppose the misters will wash the leaves very shortly after anyway so maybe that's why I haven't noticed any issues.
I've been planting directly in the ceramic pots I've bought (with drainage holes) but I notice you put everything in clear plastic pots. Do you have a link to the clear plastic pots you use? I see a bunch of different ones on Amazon but would love to use what you recommend.

Great greenhouse and lovely video! Don't worry about Paraiso "reverting" - their variegation depends on temperature + light. So you can expect it in summer to have beautiful variegated leaves, and in winter - green leaves :)
But it’s summer now :( i would have expected it to be variegated by now :(
I'm just happy to have the darn plant at all lmao. I can play around with the variegation eventually but I'm so happy to have gotten it from a friend *is grateful*
But yeah, mine's COMPLETELY green lloll
@@sydneyplantguy They can take some time, mine spent all summer being mostly green, pushed out a variegated leaf and by then it was winter so it's back to green now 😆 they are temperamental

There is a link to their website in the description :) price depends on size & model and if you want glass or plastic :)
Another great video! I have a question? Why don't you tuck the pole extension inside so when you water the pole it runs inside as opposed to outside? Just wondering? That bird was incredible 🐦🐦
No real reason but making my life easier in the moment. I haven’t noticed any water leaking from the joint so i reckon it doesn’t matter :)

I sold my big normal monstera cause there were so many plants in one pot facing all directions, I repurchased one way smaller with a single stem in it and put it on a moss pole, I wanna see those mature leaves
I hear you about getting to the end of the learning about growing indoors, as with anything, if I’m not learning anything new anymore about whatever it is, including work, I get bored and want to quit, I’ll have to amp my collection up at some point too, for now, I’m still learning
You really need a compost bin or a worm farm now!!
Cool Nepenthes!! A friend mainly grows Sarracenia, bit more suited for the Dutch climate... The plan is to make a small bog garden with them this or next year. Will try a Nepenthes indoors in the future, I've seen some videos of people growing them in a windowsill
Definitely want to grow a few more too :)
You are my inspiration and my hero! My career has always involved horticulture and I, too had to 'switch it up' to stay passionate...you have done this for me. I now collect Aroids, make my own Aroid medium and moss poles! I am once again enthralled. I must ask why you don't use velcro strapping (reusable) for securing the trunks to the poles. It always makes me wince to see you use wire...I am concerned about the wire cutting into the trunks as they grow. I look forward to watching your vids...old and new...you are the retirement I can afford and you give me joy in so many ways!...New England USA has loooooonnnnngggg winters and grow lights are less expensive than heating a greenhouse! Cheers to you...x
Thanks :) really hate the look of the velcro strips :D the small pieces of wire are pretty much invisible and the plant doesn't seem to suffer :)
gottcha'...I need to ask them to make brown strips!...thanks...x

Nice to see you again. How are your proteas and banksias doing? I hope you found a sunny spot for them. Can you speak about how to fertilize them? I think they don’t like phosphorus? Can I use regular potting soil?
Hey :) they are doing well on my balcony atm. I have not fertilised them yet but will repot them soon into a natuve mix with native slow release fertiliser. I believe they want a fairly acidic soil so don’t use regular potting soil
Soo nice your greenhouse! It’s lie a dream, really🎉 Alocasia Melo is such a pain in the ass… I am pretty good with alocasias in general, but Melo is particularly frustating
Another great video. Now I need a greenhouse 😂
Thanks :)
how do ur plants all look so healthy with those misters??? i know you have a fan in there, but i also have a fan in my plant room but the slightest bit of additional humidity and the leaves start suffering from fungal issues, makes me wanna throw the plants in the bin
very nice
Thanks :)
Thanks for sharing ......but where is Bradley? I love to see Brad walking around....😊
He joined us for a short time but he doean’t go out much when it’s too warm outside :)
@@sydneyplantguy I love to see your interaction with Bradley, the way you communicate with Brad brings pure joy to my heart. Thanks for sharing your daily life with us. ❤️ From 🇸🇬
I am only the crazy "burn it" type when it comes to mealy bugs because they are SO EFFING HARD to get rid of in certain plants. Just the thought of mealy bugs makes me want to puke lol. But with other pests, a good dunk in soapy water and some captain jacks dead bug will do!
I think we need a video all about smelling for root rot. Come on. No one has done it, I’m sure. What does it smell like? Thanks for the video- I learn something EVERY time I watch you care for your plants. In this case, I’ve learned root rot has a special smell. Maybe you can train Brad to sniff it out.
Wish YT would have a scent option :D that would make a dedicated video to sniffing root rot a bit more entertaining :D haha ...
Super gorgeous greenhouse with such happy lush plants! I finally put mine together after several months of having it, it’s a used greenhouse. I needed the inspo and had to look at what you’ve done to get me started. Your misters are brilliant! Do you turn off the fan when you put on the mister.? Or do you not use the fan anymore?
Important to keep the airflow up when using misters so it’s on 24/7. Make sure u get a waterproof one :)
Nice❤
Thanks :)
Your greenhouse looks amazing, grat job!
The very first plant is it Rhipsalis paradoxa? It's beautifull!
Hey thank you:) I have no idea, was just sold to me as a Rhipsalis and I know nothing about that genus
@@sydneyplantguy ok, looks like a R. paradoxa to me:)
That thumbnail though! 😂😂
So from Trinidad and Tobago. It is not easy to source sphagnum moss here. We do get it but it's either in limited quantities or very expensive. I got some and made some moss poles; my babies have never looked better. The problem is when they outgrow the pole, I may not have any moss to extend. Is there anywhere you think I coulyd source the moss in larger quantities to import it into the island? US or UK preferably
Do you have any help on screen while filming to check lighting, like a curve for lighting for example?? That always gives me some piece of mind, knowing whether I can fix lighting a bit in post. Around 20 minutes the over exposure does not bother me, the entire shot looks fresh and it gives you a bit of "angel lighting"... our plant savior😆🙇♂
I technically do but to get everything in frame my camera is so far away, i can’t see the screen anymore 😅 when filmkng outside it’s hard because the sun keepa coming out etc so exposure constantly changes… i let the camera do its thing 😅
@@sydneyplantguy can't remember noticing bad lighting in your video's so it seems trustworthy haha
😍😍😍
❤❤❤

have you thought about aquatic plants? A whole new world for you to explore. Also where, when and why did you get Brad?
I thought about it but worried a body of water will just make the mossie issue worse … see how I go :) i might look into it when I have a little more time :) i got him over 6 years ago because he was just too cute! Couldn’t say no to adopting him :)
hi jan, i’ve been in love with ur greenhouse for as long as u had it it’s perfect. just one question: some plants in there seem to receive very low light and are shaded. does this affect ur growth in any way?
I choose the plants accordingly :) it’s still more light than they would ever get indoors :)
Indoors I meant thanks
Hi there from Canada you’ve probably said this before but I’m wondering how do you keep your moss poles moist? Do you put a cup on the top of each one or do you water it separately? Thanks so much.
Check out my watering tutorial linked in the description :)
Thanks again for reminding everyone ( keep repeating for the newbies) the difference between care and conditions and the importance of identifying the cause and effects of said conditions and getting to know each plant to be an effective grower.
The misinformation coming from the big box store plants like Calathea " great beginner plant" or not even an ID just an esthetic vibe this plant will bring your space, huh? Then dont even get me started on the rediculous plant aps that supposedly set your plant chore schedule and magically tell you what your plant needs. Kinda defeats the whole purpose of being a plant parent if you're just relying on a screen time babysitter, don't you think? That might make a fun video, debunking a plant app or finding what value or accuracy one could bring?
On a different note, the CCS instructions say to be careful not to get on leaves as it may deform them. I use CCS in all the ways you described, except in a sprayer for fear it would get all over. Maybe a close up shot of your spraying technique?? Great value in your content as always.😻
Haha those plant apps are so cringey :D I try (not very hard) to not get it on the leaves but definitely can't fully avoid it and haven't noticed any issues ... suppose the misters will wash the leaves very shortly after anyway so maybe that's why I haven't noticed any issues.
Can wood mulch be used as a growing media as a chunky mix with perlite/pumous?
I’m not sure but it might be treated differently causing some ph issues but ultimately that’s just a guess 🤷🏻♂️
I've been planting directly in the ceramic pots I've bought (with drainage holes) but I notice you put everything in clear plastic pots. Do you have a link to the clear plastic pots you use? I see a bunch of different ones on Amazon but would love to use what you recommend.
I buy them in store at bunnings so no link to share sorry :/
It shouldnt cost too much to post a 6ft plant to Birdwood S.A So glad we are friends ....God, isnt xmas time fun ? ...❤ youuuuu 😂😅
😅😅
How do you decide whether to fill the pole with moss or soil mix?
Based on what I have available, where abouts the plant is (indoors or outdoors) and the water requirement of the plant
"Imagine a drinking game..." - Im restarting the video now
:D
Can you tell me again where your greenhouse came from. Thank you
It’s linked in the description :)
@@sydneyplantguy lol. I typed while watching. But still don't know model number
It's the Imperial 1980
"I'm looking for corms!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Worry about your own corms, people!
😅
Hai.. What vitamins name for your plants?
What is the name of that begonia?13:55
