THANKKKKKKKKKK YOU SO MUCH for doing these experiments and saving thousands of plants throughout the world! yes, on one hand its funny , on the other it is not but throughout all of it, its sad that someone would post horrible things like that and murder living little green organisms that give us soooooooooo much...BLESSSS YOU!
@@desertedenblooms Thank you 😊
Someone woke up and chose comedy! :D
Exactly 😂
🤣
His monstera video is pretty fun as well regarding rotating plants!
‘It gave me Ozzy Osbourne’ 😂
Can I just say that the editing and humor on this video was top notch, you had me in stitches throughout 🤣
Yay, thank you!
😂
Have you ever tried unflavored gelatin? A few pinches mixed with water works well no rot my plants are growing like mad
What does the gelatin do?
@@SheffieldMadePlants
Gives them nitrogen phosphorous and calcium I do it about once or twice a month, a gardener I knew as a kid taught me that trick
Everytime I've seen this "plant hack" I've immediately thought about when my kids were little and I would forget to grab their cup or think I grabbed their cup and it was secretly hiding under the bed and then two days later how I would be throwing up while opening it and then tossing the whole thing... This said, my son is 19 now and I still find the occasional milk based science project in his room, I'm suddenly quite happy he's moved out... 🤮
With the cost of milk here, this would be like fertilizing with gold only to kill the plant... It's about 4 dollars for 2 liters, I wanted to buy chocolate milk yesterday to fuel my inner child but it was 6 dollars for 2 liters so I am letting my inner child suffer BC adult me refuses that price!
Now that I think about it though, perhaps your next experiment should be a strawberry milk, a chocolate milk and a white milk. Also, maybe plants like plant based milk, little cannibals... 😱
Chocolate milk 🤔 interesting...
Your my favourite influencer 😊
You're the best!
Same or death 🤷🏾♀️
This was hilarious! It’s good to stop being serious once in a while! Thanks Richard! 😻
Agreed!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how you are always proving 5 Minute Crafts wrong! I hope your tree survives!
On a mission 😂
Thanks for taking the time to prove these witches wrong ❤❤❤
FUNNY HOW YOU TUBE will docks and cancel the truth but when it comes to 5 minute crafts and like channels disseminating death of plants which are useful and needed by allll...they dont give a damn and allow it...why are is 5 minute crafts still allowed to operate while spreading lies ! thank yuuuuuuuu dear dear Sheffeld. live your channel and accents!
Did it survive?
The smell must be revolting - thanks for taking one for the team there Richard 👍 The only tip I’ve heard about milk is using it in powdered form when planting tomatoes. Seemingly it’s good for stopping blight. It was a tomato grower that told us this so worth a try.
Let's just say never again! Is that on the leaves?
@@SheffieldMadePlants no it’s sprinkled in the earth around the roots
Tomatoes use a lot of calcium while growing, lots of people enrich their soil with calcium before planting, also zucchini and squash to help with blossom end rot
😂 Comedy gold!
Aside from the smell (and killing your plant), it would get awfully expensive using milk to water your plants!
Good point!
As always a great video. I make yogurt, which leaves behind wey, I dilute this way approximately 1/10 water and use it as a fertiliser, but I don't administer it at every watering. I have found this to be beneficial, particularly for a reluctant to flower Peace Lilly. After a few weeks of just one dose of my wey solution, flowers began to develop and the plant flowers generously now. I didn't experience any bugs or fowel smells. Perhaps it was the dilution, perhaps it was the wey rather than the full monty of milk, I actually don't know the answer, I can only convey my experience with diluted wey from yogurt making
Interesting! Thanks
I've used deleted milk and my plants loved it as there in a south facing window but You must not do it to often😮 also during a fungus outbreak I did do diluted apple cider vinegar and it worked great but in both cases a capful in water only 😂🤣😂🤣💖
@@sandieedward993 The Cider vinegar is interesting
This unlocked a memory in my head. Back in the day some kid in my school watered a plant with milk once as a prank. It was last few weeks of school. The stench of milk rotting in the summer heat was unbearable. Someone threw up during the class.
Milk and potting soil might as well be poison lol.
Little brat! 😂
As much as was used to “water ” the plant would cause root rot. A lot was used. I would never pour that much on my plant
I think diluting the milk or yogurt further and giving it once in a while might help like it did after your first application.. it did help in the growth of new shoots.. and then maybe if you had stopped the plant roots wouldn't rot. Just my thought watching this experiment.. 😊
Good shout!
Yes true. An article says to use milk once and a while , not every time
Yes, fresh milk diluted into water is great. BuildASoil sells a product called "Ya Whey" which is Whey from Cheese manufacturing that they make into a product.
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LABS) is Milk that is fermented and that is part of certain Plant Philosophies such as JADAM and KNF.
Well done myth busting Richard, but the thought of how that plant must have smelled after 2 weeks makes me feel🤢🤢🤢 and I wasn’t even there! Mrs Sheffield must be an understanding woman
It wasn’t pleasant!
Don't think it's supposed to be every watering
I just realized I never knew his name was Richard.
Richard, you are probably the most entertaining. informative and creative RUclipsrs out there! I'm watching this in the early morning hours on the Oregon coast. Nothing like starting the day off with laughter. Yeah, I'm probably not going to try this. lol Let us know if the Milky Joe survived.
Thank you!
Were the roots rotting because of the milk, or because of the cover you placed on the soil, which trapped the moisture, preventing it from drying out at the usual rate?
I think you need to do this experiment again, controlling for this important variable! 🤣
I’ll do it again 😅
I can't believe 5 Minute Crafts would just lie to us like that. 😢
And for what? Hundreds of millions of views?
Glad it’s not working 😅
I had no idea people were doing this! 🤯I wouldn't even attempt it mainly for fear of pests! Side note: I always appreciate a good BTTF reference! 😁👍🏾
Best trilogy right?
Egg shells, tomato soup, coffee…people will put anything in their plant soil except actual fertilizer.
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yes!!!!
Your videos keep getter better and better. ❤ You have such a wonderful sense of humor! Great content as always, can’t wait for the soy one. I’m predicting 🌱☠️
Thank you so much!!
I love it when plantubers work with each other. I adore Kill this Plant!
Very funny
Who else thinks of our helpful green friend as Sheffield and not Richard?😅
😂
Gross Richard. Yet as always very interesting. Planterina has nothing on you!!!
Thanking you!
I love the editing style of this video! Your plant care tips are always so useful 🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
Milk if devoid of fat could be a very good all purpose organic liquid fertilizer. NPK is around 0.5
NPK 0.5:0.15:0.15 or so. Fat is not healthy for soil and roots so if you have that in, you should only use as a foliar feed (stinks a bit though). it is advised to reduce fat content if non-fat milk is not available by diluting with water. If you want low risk reduce fat content to well below 0.5% - so maybe use 1:5 ratio with a 1.5% fat milk.
I know this; milk has calcium. Calcium builds up and forms a hard layer. Milk is covering the roots. A bony layer is growing around the roots.
Possible solution?
One watering with milk. The next two with water. 🙂
Please incorporate more of your humor in you videos. The jokes had me rolling. Great experiment!
Will do! 😁
Really using anything weekly even fertilizer would kill it AUKM your example is too extreme😢 😵💫!!!
I think the milky plant will prevail. By the way, lactobacillus is pronounced “lack toe back sill us” 😊
it seems like a workable way to refresh soil in a single dose, but not as a recurrent fertiliser. There's no way that early growth was a coincidence
Yes you are in the ball park water it down and every two weeks is best
I'm sorry but no! Just no! I consume milk in moderation but pouring it on plants is a crime! There are a lot of good things you can use. This is ridiculous!
plants in the wild never receive milk in any form...what would make humans think milk is a good idea for plants?!?
I am glad you tried it so I don't have to 😂👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I took the hit don't worry 😂
Maybe it's just that one plant that is lactose intolerant?
Good point. I need more plants and more milk
This will work for a bit for plants with overgrown roots. It'll rot out potentially "pruning" the roots. At least, that's one benefit of rot eating away at roots... but ofc losing roots completely kills. There are also the vitamins and minerals but the high concentration is not ideal for the plant. It's like adding a dead creature into the soil but in liquid form which acts as fertilizer so adding too many definitely will lead to too much rotting and too much organisms in the soil. Anyways... that's just me thinking too deep about it. Still not recommended to give milk to plants............ hmmm....
I pour milk in my garden of tomatoes, and I have never had pest or critter issues. I don't cover but I water 3x a week.
The benefit is the milk has ready to feed calcium and potassium that the plant can get. I put powdered milk on the top and water it in occasionally. It helps but you just gave way too much. You don't give so much that it comes out the bottom like water. Just enough to feed the roots like at most once a month. It's fertilizer you use it like any other fertilizer...as needed not as a replacement for water.
I felt so sorry for the gorgeous plant that took the hit in the name of “science”… btw did you name it Fauci by any chance…?
My only experience with the money tree was painful and short lived 😢 I took it as a sign that, indeed, money does not grow on trees.
Fauci would have been great 😂
NO MILK! Bad Milk! Good - I would not want my plants stinking of old milk. :-)
Milk is just like any nutrient you'd apply to your plants . Just apply alittle bit of it regularly. But atleast this vid shows it works.
Richard's gone loco and I LOVE it. Also, was I the only one distracted by the t shirt stain?
Congrats you win! The first person to notice 😂 I'll make it free to subscribe to the channel 😉
I went back and saw it, lol. I found dawn dish soap good at getting stains out. 😃
Ozzy snorted a pile of ants as well.. I was wondering where that reference was going 😅 great vid I'll avoid the milk :-)
why did you water the milk down ,what happens with strate milk,ive always wanted to know what happens to a plant because ive always got milk left over that i dont drink,and i hate to waste it down the drain
This so funny and I’m only three minutes in. 😂. I think death and disease.
😅
Immediately I was thinking about over-fertilization
😂
You are madly hilarious
But i think all human brains have this disastrous streak once in a while.
Long ago when we were school going kids with a joint family , one of my cousins used to throw away the glass of milk [ before going to school in the mornings] into a huge rose bush planted in the soil and in 2 years time he killed it.
All elders were worried what went wrong. But we kids kept quite didn't know the value of plants then.
If its now , i would slap my cousin 😂😂😂
The little %&£$ 😂
Lol.
Woodlands don’t live on milk so I think it is nonsense- now I will continue to watch until the end to see if you have concluded the same.
i hear 1/2 milk and 1./2 water for garden don't know abt house plants thanks
Love the new video. And the comedic effect, ur like the mr Bean of plants
Lol that’s a compliment
Wow, thanks
I think it will be alright but it’s pricey and probably smells terrible
Too much of a nutrient can be bad too. Thanks! 👍
Very true!
I saw a video in passing. So the person was feeding plant alot of food things liquids.
Omg! Have to say the entertainment value is high, as always..but, even though you did this inane experiment lol a year ago, i swear I can smell the wonky milk through the screen! I wouldn't have made it through the second milking!! Not to mention using even a watered down version of using milk would add a bit of a cost. I have a hard enough time figuring what water to use!
I'm happy he didn't die tho.
Thank you for all the entertaining and informative videos. Glad you did this one, I definitely wouldn't regards to Mrs Sheffield, or Saint Sheffield.
Keep the videos coming! I don't watch anyone else, I'm relying on you!!
Thank you 😊
Level 1 - I Killed This Plant
Level 5 - I Milked This Plant
Level 10 - I Soyed This Plant
Level ??? - I (goodness-gracious-whatever-those-plant-hacks-stuffs-come-up-with) This Plant
😂
Don't worry, soy will save it
Lmao
That one's coming in a couple weeks and it's a gem 😂
Or curry powder! 😂
I know many people are wiping the leaves with milk 🥛🥛😮😮 and they are shiny😮😮
But I personally don’t like to use anything other than NPK😢😢😢
💯
Is it supposed to dilute the milk and use it sparingly
Very funny! I was surprised it seemed like the milk helped at first, but then it got FUNKY!~
Funky indeed 😂
I really enjoy content like this. Not only because of your lovely humour (😉), but also because this 5-minute junk exploits the innate human search for simple answers to (however complex) questions with bad intentions. After all, there are people who are not badly enriched by this rip-off.
So I admire that you have found a charming way to properly simplify the facts of a very complex question in Robin Hood fashion.
Glad you liked it 😁
Question - watering in the sink (RO water, not tap) always leave soil in the sink...how come that doesn't happen to you? Don't you have chlorine in your water? The chlorine in the tap water can kill beneficial bacteria. If I am forced to use tap water, I must let the chlorine blow off for about 3 hours. My water is very, very hard....278 ppm./mg/L or 16/3 grains/gallon. So I use RO water. THANKS. PS The white cover should be on BOTH plants....you have introduced a new variable!
This video explains it

1 minute in...
I would think that milk causes more alkalinity. So, to milk or not to milk ...er...to *add* milk...depends upon the needs of the plant.
Just my guess.
6:20 The fat in the milk would prevent drying out so soon.
Definitely don’t anointy nointy your plants with milk
Now I'm kinda curious if you would thin iut the milk more and give it to it way less often.
I’ll be giving it a pass 😅
@@SheffieldMadePlants let's say I could see cabbage for example (cabbage is very calcium hungry) have some benefit from it, but yeah milk is also a very good growing medium for bacteria and molts. So that's why I could see it work if you let's say add 20-100 ml to a L of water. And allow the plant to use everything in it before giving it again.
This is so funny and educating as well ❤😂
Thanking you!
Milk? No way… beside the fact milk has gotten expensive! Well maybe to a milkweed plant, lol! This video was your best comedy so far. There is the drama tho… wondering why a seemingly sane person would do such a thing! Crazy baby! BTW, Soy is far too salty! 💖🇺🇸😎
Glad you enjoyed it! 5 minute crafts add it to their plants 🤷🏻♂️
Nice experiment, but I think how it was applied was destined to fail. From what I've seen, you're supposed to dilute the milk like how you do with fish emulsion or compost tea something like 1tsp to 1 gallon water. Essentially, you over fertilised Milky. At first, Milky responded well to the milk but almost died from overdosing (looking at the roots). I've used 1 tbsp to 2 gallons water and the plants are going fine.
Yeah you're probably right 😅
Delightful video. And now your fungus gnats have strong bones and teeth, plus excellent posture 😄🪰
I’m trying my best to nurture them!
OMG, I'm absolutely shocked and disgusted, you are soooo evil. You have done a video of overwatering now giving milk. I thought you loved plants. Please stop this torture, I was sobbing in my snotrag throughout 🤪
Fecking great video, you will be appearing at the globe theater (or maybe the Crucible) soon. "To milk or not to milk that is the questing"
Haha Thanks!
I just LOVE this channel😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh my there is so much to comment in this one😂 I have to say my nostrils scrunched inwards trying to escape the future in pure panic from the very start that milking plant started🤢🐽
My biggest fear was the smell and I hereby give mrs Sheffield the patience-with-hubbys-hobbys awards🤓
THANK YOU for this hillarious video!❤😂
😂 thanks!
Experiment request: which plants can be propagated with stem cuttings vs leaf. Or which plants can only be propagated by division.
👍👍👍
You know what I don’t understand, and I’m not looking for an answer (although if you have it that would help) but Money trees like to be on the drier side. YET THEY LIVE IN MARSHY SWAMPY AREAS IN THE AMAZON???
Hmm I’ve not looked into that actually
Horrible stinky idea. I much rather drink the milk myself. Maybe the plant won't outright die, but I think a regular water watering gives better results. With common fertilizer.
💯
This 5 minutes crafts get a zero Jackie's
My first thought was ,that's going to start smelling,milk belongs in the fridge.Personally I think milk should only be for calves,but good try.Its nice to see a bit of humour in these video's ,nice one.
Great stuff 👍
Hi Richard, this was awesome! Very informative, and love your scientific approach 😄 I was cracking up through the whole vid. It's one of my favourite vids so far! 💜
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😃
Great video brother. Just one thing, a bit of unsolicited advice if I may. Let comedy breathe, you're "putting a hat on a hat", which might throw off the delivery of your comedic timing.
Thanks!
bugs and stinky and generally gross. OK I got 2/3. would have got a trifecta if you hadn't cheated with the cover. you should test between avocado, olive and canola oils so that we can finally find out which is better for you.
Maybe next time 😁
Dilute it with water and not every feeding. Nice video
Good thing I don't have to do this test now that I've seen the results.
On a more serious note, my money plant has a few leaf stems with small beads of what look like water hanging from them. I don't mist the plant and can only surmise that the plant is some how exuding excess moisture. Is that even a thing? Could it be anything more serious? New leaf growth is good, is only watered when my water meter indicates dry soil near the bottom and it gets plenty of light.
That’s guttation I believe and perfectly normal
Here I am, at the start of the video, thinking I don't like the smell of sour milk, rancid fat, and yuck! No matter what you say at the end of this video, I'll pass.
I’m with you!
Growth or death - it’s got to stink like rotten milk!
Was that pure milk maybe dilute it more
Well if you spray roses with milk and water mix you can keep them healthy. So really... I've no idea 😂
I guess on the leaves it's ok
From my experience, milk should be raw, never pasteurized. Diluted & fermented.
For giving to plants or generally?
Im gonna guess it'll give the plant root rot and make your house smell like theres a dead body in the floor boards! Especially with that heat the uk had for weeks 🤮
😬
I will try it. On my money plant 🌱 thanks.
My buddy used to put milk in his bong 😭
You can give milk and yogurt once or twice a month, it works wonders. Just make sure it doesn’t make a coating on top of the soil.
👍👍👍
Worse plus bugs.
Pretty cool. I was thinking it would have been way worse. Like swarming gnats and you couldn’t finish bad.
Of course, you missed one important variable. That money tree may have been lactose intolerant, and the initial success may have been continued if not for the unfortunate digestive issues it clearly experienced after you checked the roots! Lactaid milk for the win!
Look forward to the soy. If that don’t die a couple waterings in, I don’t know….although if your experimental plant was lemon grass, you could be a culinary genius and creat the next big cooking fad!🤔
😂 that’s good!
Imagine... my father added some garlic into the equation! Thousands of years and we're still largely relying on superstition for agriculture
That’s a stinker!
This was hilarious to watch and surprised how long the money tree lasted without roots. Amazing plant to say the least. I'm sure roots will grow with some tender loving care and WATER, ha! Love the video, Richard!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh my gosh I love this video it was so funny did a great job I would have never thought about using milk and I'm never going to do it
Thank you 😊
I think milk is going to be gross and smelly. Also! LOVE the added doses of humor 🤩🤣
Thanks!
I definitely wouldn't even consider it! even just not properly rinsing out the empty container leaves a pungent smell
Sure does 😬
Fantastic Richard! great experiment hope Milky Joe survived.The two plants must have been having great conversations with each other!😆
Thank you 😊 it’s not looking good for joe
So glad milk was the wonder grower because I hate the smell of it.👎🏼🍼🥛
It was grim
Your dry humor cracks me up! I noticed you use the sticky things for your bugs. How well do they work? I saw a tip with matches. You stick the bit that ignites in the soil. It works for a little while.
Yellow cards are pretty good at getting the adults. Doesn’t solve the problem though. Not heard that hack
Try growing a garlic bulb in the plant. Allium from garlic will deter bugs and disrupt the larval stage
I think your plant will smell sour
