Hey, Sean, a month ago I saw your video and thought, "What a great idea! It would be so cool to have a bigger house to make my dream come true." Now, I finally have a new place for living and designing a green wall there. I'm so grateful for your video, which inspired me to build a it in my house. Now I'm rewatching it for tips and tricks. Thank you so much for sharing 🫶
I’ve been on RUclips everyday for 10 years and I just made an account today to subscribe to your channel. Your voice is so soothing, video imagery so relaxing and the amount of education you have given me is priceless! I’d love to travel to Indonesia one day just to see all the vertical plant walls. Keep making these amazing videos! Much love from Nebraska USA.
I envy your professionalism and I love your green wall. Vertical wall problems, just give them a bit of space, I know you have to work with it but you've done great. Keep at it Sean.😅
Wow. I can still remember the time you videoed how to set up the bare wall with the mesh and the cocoa coir..now its another total look. If you dont mention, we all will think its superb . Tks for the tips and i share the similar issues you shared on my smaller 2m wall. Cant wait to see subsequent videos abt this wall.
Sean your wall looks great. I really enjoy your content..especially your trips to other growers & conservatories. Gives a glimpse into the ways other countries grow tropical plants. You do a fantastic job..keep it coming 👍🌿🇦🇺
You’re amazing. It is true that I haven’t been seeing as many of your videos! Annoying! I think there have been a few times where I watched only part of your longer form videos. I wonder what the algorithm is doing…. Anyhoo! Today I searched for you and found a lot of videos that I haven’t seen! Yay for me! Hugs from arid Arizona! 😊 Thank you for your enthusiasm.
Looking forward to that special video. I just had my dirty kitchen upgraded with walls I intend for my 2nd green wall. And planting edible crawlers. Which I am protecting fm pests like rats that are plaguing my outside garden. So I keep my ornamental plants outside while indoor wall garden will be for my edibles and herbs
@@onlyplants thanks. Thinking the same way. The heat here is overwhelming for them though. I had charred leaves out in the garden and thought to see first how my transluscent roofing will block most uv rays to protect their foliage and grow as it really is looking like daylight in my dirty kitchen. I'm slowly trying to piece in elementsthe wall. I like watching your wall to see how I can balance mine. You were right about pinning the stalks to the wall as in my garden mice and stray cats jump and cling to my crawling plants roots get detached from the wall and end up cutting them. The garden wall had no mesh wire installed initially and that's when I learned photos grow bigger when they root on flat cemented walls. So I don't paint my walls. (I like them bare gray). They really look nice. Monstera and photos I guess can be mixed as they can grow almost with the same size and are hardy enough to survive if any of them grow larger than the other. I will wait for your next video on balanced layout referencing different types to plant together. Thanks
Saya pernah terinspirasi ikut bikin green wall tapi berubah pikiran krn kuatir entar di komplen tetangga kiri kanan belum lagi suami yg perlu space untuk jemuran baju dsb nya,,,,,tapi setelah nonton video ini saya jadi semangat lagi bikin tapi dibatasi tanaman yg slow growth bukan philo kayak bromed yg colourfull mostly green atau anything tanaman yg kuat panas matahari dan gak manja 😂 salam sehat Sean dan wish me luck 😊
Thankyou Sean for the video of your wall it is beautiful, and I respect that you shared the triumphs and tragedies of doing a green wall.... It is a lot of work to maintain and takes vigilant care for future success. I have always been a garden plant enthusiasts with deep love for all things nature and wildlife, especially trees, which gave me a real passion for Bonsai Gardens. In one of my feeds for Bonsai a video with Irene from Leafing Around where You were both exploring the same botanical garden it was incredible I immediately subscribed to You both and binge watched all your episodes. Thanks Again Elle in Southern Ontario Canada
I always wanted a living wall, but I don't have the time to invest. Just using tiered shelves for now and maybe someday I will have a plant collection as beautiful as yours!
@@onlyplants If you want them, maybe try a reptile shop, they often have them have them because they're put in their terrariums as a backdrop. It's hard to get here too, but I have found one reptile shop that has them. I love your wall by the way, and it works. Much love from the Netherlands.
You need wider glasses frames if they squeeze on the side of your head when you talk. I’ve had that problem before too. But the glasses look great on you!
Thank youu. I consider myself to have a small head/face… its strange that all glasses give me headache… but maybe widening the frames somehow might help 😅
Dumb question, maybe, but would a dripline along the top , watering thru the coconut, dripping down, be of any use? SLOW DRIP with holes every, so far apart, kinda thing. Set on a timer if you go away for a length of time. Or make a " stone/ rock waterfall " system, both sides and place dripline in the center of structure. Curious if this would work for humidity levels.
Hi. When I first started watching RUclips, your channel, along with planterina and wildfern, was suggested. I've been subscribed ever since, and I do actually get a notification every time you post a video. Maybe the person who doesn't receive notifications does not watch plant videos altogether. I watch mostly other content, with about 30% plant content these days, and like I said, I get onlyplants notifications in my "news feed".
I have very little experience with slugs, but there are pesticides that control them, although these pesticides may not be good for the environment. One of the ways is to remove them manually, and also check for eggs around and remove those as well. There are some natural remedies online but I would take them with a grain of salt 🤓
I think they are stretching outwards towards the light. Probably because the direct top of those leaves are covered by other leaves. Another possibility is that some plants simply are not climbers. For example the cane begonia that I clipped in the video would not have otherwise attached itself to the wall, but over time it grew to over 50cm tall from a nice juvenile size
Halo, Sean! I’m an artist from Indonesia (who also love plants, I’ve been hoarding in the past now trying to keep everything simple and managable, I’m sure you can relate hahahah). Currently planning on working on a solo exhibition with nature and plants themed. I wanted to use some of your instagram posts as my reference picture. I want to know if you are okay with that. Pls let me know if you require anything. Thank youu :)
It is 100% ok to use any of my images and clips as long as they aren’t used to harm/manipulate others ❤️ it would bring a smile to my face if you would show me the finished work
call me a Karen if you want... but your Monstera didn't revert to green because of low light. It reverted to green because it had sectoral variegation which extremely often reverts to either fully green or white. Same thing happened to my two sectoral variegated albos, and they were sitting directly under extremely strong growlights.
Having grown thousands of variegated plants, both at home and in a nursery setting, it is 100% set in stone for me that light levels are number 2 factor for variegation, aside from its genetics. And it is a very important factor ❤️
You are right variegation is genetics. But it is very much determined by light levels its getting. Low light will yield low variegation and reversion in most cases (but not all).
Just watching you stand in all that glorious greenery soothes my eyes and calms my soul
Haha thank you 🥹 I love it too
Those glasses look awesome on you, you smart guy! Love your wall and all the tips! THANK YOU!!!!
Haha thank you 🙏🏽😀

Whoaaa this warms my heart ❤️ I love that my work has positive impact on others. Thank you for writing in too.
I have an open, direct sun, west facing wall. Do you have recommendations what plants can I use for this wall?

Wow this is so sweet and kind. Messages like this empowers me to work even harder. Thank you ❤️
Before you mentioned the glasses, I was going to say they look really good
Haha thank you 🤓
I enjoyed this greenwall update.
❤️❤️ I will work hard to build it better
I look forward to a video on the types of plants to use on the wall and to not use! Thank you for sharing your learning “mistakes “ too.
Thank you. Im also looking closely at vertical walls in my travels for inspiration 😀
ty for having the courage to show and explain how the space needs improvement as well as the ways in which it is succeeding.
We learn most from mistakes
Love your green wall! I thing its super beautiful! Thanks for video
Thank you ❤️❤️ It looks even better now. I cant wait to film an update episode
I burst out laughing when you said it smells like an onion 🧅 farted! 😂😂
😅

I really enjoyed this episode
Thank you ❤️ means a lot that you wrote in
Sean your wall looks great. I really enjoy your content..especially your trips to other growers & conservatories. Gives a glimpse into the ways other countries grow tropical plants. You do a fantastic job..keep it coming 👍🌿🇦🇺
Thank you ❤️
Although you’re not very thrilled with your green wall & the lighting, I still think it’s awesome Sean!
Haha thank you. Im still striving to perfect the system. I wish I had more time to take care of it! 😀😀
The wall is great 👍⭐️
Thank you 😀
Love the green wall update and your experience 😊
Thank you 🥰
Thank you.
I am off to look at some of your other videos
Yayeee ❤️
Absolutely beautiful you are so creative
Thank you ❤️
Whenever I saw your wall in some of your videos I have been always curious about care! :))
😀😀 I hope this video explains it!
@@onlyplants oh it does! It actually inspired me to do few "plant wall exposition" in my apt :) thank you for sharing your knowledge!
13:00 It looks like tropical rain 🤩
🥰🥰
You look great in glasses Sean! 😎
Thank you 🤓
For the low light problem, add mirrors. On the walls, floor, tabletop. Anywhere, will help with the light...
Oh yes 🥹 it doubles light naturally
I enjoyed the update. Still remember the day you showed us the bare wall.
Thank you. There shall be more updates. We are only midway 🙌🏽
Thanks for sharing your lessons learned with us!
You’re most welcome 🥰
I love this wall, it looks amazing from my POV, love the updates. Keep it coming.
Thank you ❤️❤️
Gorgeous 👌👌👌... very informative .. love to watch your videos.. 😊happy gardening ..from India 💕
Thank you ❤️❤️
If you need more light you can use mirrors 🌞
Theres stuff all over the place haha, no room for mirrors here. But in most cases yes! Advocate for mirrors
Is this a common idea I started doing this outta laziness my wife said I was crazy but it seems okay to me I am new to plants
You’re amazing. It is true that I haven’t been seeing as many of your videos! Annoying! I think there have been a few times where I watched only part of your longer form videos.

Thank you so much. ❤️❤️ I hope you found some cool vids to see.
@@onlyplants all of your vids are 😎
Good and quick over view!
❤️❤️
Dear Professor and colleague 😉, Very very beautiful green wall!!! All your plants look very happy and so healthy!!! 💚💚💚
Thank you Cathie ❤️
@@onlyplants I wish you a lot of success for Palmstreet!!!
Great description of the neem oil smell😂
I had no idea the wall was that much maintenance for you. It looks great on camera.
Thank you ❤️❤️

Which I am protecting fm pests like rats that are plaguing my outside garden. So I keep my ornamental plants outside while indoor wall garden will be for my edibles and herbs
Interesting… for the edibles usually they require full sun. You might have to amend them with artificial light

Nahhh bromelia cocok banget for greenwall. ❤️ too bad I don’t have them 🙈
True the underside is important as I noticed almost all my ornamental plants dying is with pests that started on the underside.

Whoa thank you Elle. ❤️
Beautifully done!
Thank you ❤️
Would be cool to make something like this one day. In the meantime, I can enjoy yours :)
Yes please 😀
This is so informative. Appreciate your smarts (with or without glasses:).
Thank you 🤓
Thank you for the tip on spider mites!
Welcome 🙌🏽
Maintaining the wall is a lot of work. Only a plant nerd like you will be able enjoy all the work it entails.
I honestly thought it was gona be easy 🥹
So wonderful!
Thank you ❤️❤️

Love the glasses and the hair Sean😊
Haha thank you 🙈
I agree,I think vertical wall needs more attention /guide in development of their growth.
Yes, I was so wrong about it 🥹
New wall…new glasses…lookin good buddy.
Haha thank you 😀😀
I use New Zealand tree fern fiber plates. They love it, and its premade. You have good taste in glasses. 😊
Thank you ❤️😀 those fern fiber are not so available here in Indonesia 🥹
@@onlyplants If you want them, maybe try a reptile shop, they often have them have them because they're put in their terrariums as a backdrop. It's hard to get here too, but I have found one reptile shop that has them. I love your wall by the way, and it works. Much love from the Netherlands.

That monstera took all the light 😅
Yes 😳
"Like an onion farted" 😂
🥵
Dumb question, maybe, but would a dripline along the top , watering thru the coconut, dripping down, be of any use? SLOW DRIP with holes every, so far apart, kinda thing. Set on a timer if you go away for a length of time. Or make a " stone/ rock waterfall " system, both sides and place dripline in the center of structure. Curious if this would work for humidity levels.
I have a feeling the drip will not get into each individual pots. Maybe a sprinkler system would work better
Искала именно такое видео, однозначно подписка и лайк❤
😀❤️ thank you
Maybe it needs vertical grow light in front.
Yes I have been placing 2 more lights in front with stands… so many cables on the floor though 🥺
I love cats videos and plants videos equally😂
Thank you ❤️❤️
If you get mites are there predator bugs you can release to keep them away
Yes but these predator bugs dont exist in Indonesia, at least not commercially 🥺

Bahaha neem oil smells like “if an onion farted” 😆
It doess haha
🥰🥰🥰I like this
Thank you ❤️❤️
Hi, would like to ask you, how to get rid of slugs. It attack my orchid leaves and other flower plants too.
I have very little experience with slugs, but there are pesticides that control them, although these pesticides may not be good for the environment.
One of the ways is to remove them manually, and also check for eggs around and remove those as well.
There are some natural remedies online but I would take them with a grain of salt 🤓
What soil do you use for tropical
I use a new mix burnt rice hull, rice hull, and perlite. Because I water my plants every day so I opted for something very fast draining and airy 😀
beautiful! ;)
Thank you ❤️❤️
If you have to attach every leaf to the wall then they're not really climbing up. Do you really need a coir wall for it?
I think they are stretching outwards towards the light. Probably because the direct top of those leaves are covered by other leaves. Another possibility is that some plants simply are not climbers. For example the cane begonia that I clipped in the video would not have otherwise attached itself to the wall, but over time it grew to over 50cm tall from a nice juvenile size
Yes! Onion farts! That's IT EXACTLY 💯! 😂
🙌🏽 high five!
The amount of plants you have makes me worry you’ll burnout, please be careful
Haha thank you. I am fortunate enough to have help caring for them.
It's not the plants, but human vibes that can spark burnout.
This person will never burn out. It is their passion. It will just take on different forms throughout their life. They’re amazing!!!
What dieffenbachia is that to your right?
No ones been able to tell me the name but its tri color

But it is 100% ok for people to disagree with me. We live in such a divisive world now, we should embrace and celebrate everyones differences 😀
variegation is genetic so it isnt swayed by light. only specific plants fall under this category.
You are right variegation is genetics. But it is very much determined by light levels its getting. Low light will yield low variegation and reversion in most cases (but not all).
All i think of watching your latest videos who takes care of your plants while traveling , it’s always a problem for me 😢
I have a full time gardener 😅
