Good Morning Mr Sheffield!!! Congratulations to you and your Mrs on your new home!!! Moving is such a busy and stressful time, but ya'll will knock it out and enjoy your new journey in your new home. Can't wait to see your updates with the move and where all your plants end up in your new home!!!
Yes! Your fans will want a new house walk-through...maybe a vid of the plant move-in too! Hey, you've got a big family here and we all want to be in on the events! (Good luck with the move...I've moved many times and I've come to hate it more each time.)
And did you know that you can make your spider plants go to seed? When there are two or more flowers at a time, take a q-tip and very gently rub the flowers like a bee would do in pollinating a flower. You spread pollen from one flower to another, even if it's on the same plant. Then leave the flowers be and watch what happens in a few weeks as the dried up flowers turn to seed pods. Then again, keep a close watch on the pods as they turn from green to brown. Then you must keep a very close watch on the pods, as once they turn brown, they will burst in an effort to spread their seeds. Their seeds are black. At this point you can plant the seeds and grow new spider plants. Try pollinating all the different varieties of spider plants and see what you get. It's a fascinating experience to learn even more about the world of spider plants. Sorry this was so long.
I like to use paint brushes to brush away any soil that gets between leaves and stuff especially before it gets wet because it's easier dry. The longer the bristles the easier it is, I like the "spike" shaped tips better than the wide tips for more control and reaching into crevices better :)
I have to tell you, I saw your tip about using tap water conditioner, and now I know why my plants were dying. Holy mackerel! No more dry, yellowing edges. New growth is coming in so green. Now I have work to do on my outside garden
Congratulations on your new home! I hope your move goes smoothly and everyone settles in nicely, and all in time for Christmas. Happy holidays to you and your family and your green family, and all the best in the New Year. Super video, as always, I love my Saturday mornings, coffee and Sheffield Made Plants
The tip for the Aloe is good if you want to have a bunch of smaller plants. But if you want to have it grow big there is a better way. I've been growing cacti and big Aloes for several years, in autumn (end of September) I stop watering them , and I try to keep them somewhere a bit cooler, the ideal would be 5-10°C, but I don't have such a place indoors so they get around 18°C. They go dormant, stop growing so they don't need light almost at all. This also helps Cacti flower next year. End of April-Mai I bring them back to the light and start slowly watering . Maybe try a side by side experimet whith your Aloes to see how they do with/without water/light in winter, you will be pleasantly surprised in 2 years.
I've been watching you for years and came back just to see how you're doing and your collection has GROWN and is looking gorgeous. I have hundreds of rare plants now and complex hybrid Antheriums and collectors offset, etc.. and I wouldn't know what I do if it wasn't for you teaching me in the beginning.
Thanks for your very important information about plants .went I’m watching your videos I don’t want them to end.like always sending you and your family lots of love 💕
I remember watching one of your videos saying the zz plant is slow growing. I've had mine for about two months and there is not 1 but 5 new stems growing. Im a beginner so Im ecstatic about it. Oh and he is about 3 feet from a south facing patio door. Guess it loves it 🥰 Thanks Richard! Your the best!!
I love this channel! And I mean absolutely NO disrespect by the following question! I live in the United States. My sister-in-law teaches at a nearby college that has many international students. We have teamed up with a few other faculty members to give away houseplants to them. We have a private Facebook group to provide advice in caring for their houseplants, and I've shared several of this channel's videos there. I would like to help the international students feel even more welcome to the group by including reliable houseplant care videos from RUclipsrs from other countries or ethnicities. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh good ideas again. I make all my macrame hangers myself,with cheap cord. But to put the pot easily in a macrame hanger i knot each string seperate,(not bind)so you place the pot in the net and the seperate 3 or 4 macrame strings (with each a noose) on a hook. I hope you understand this explenation. 😊.
13:31 😂😂😂the look of glee when you chopped his head off. Mrs Diver gets the opposite look when I do that to any of our plants. I’m twisted like you…they always grow back so chop away if need be. Good luck with the move🤙
Another fantastic video, so helpful for us beginners! I’m very excited because I have those same pothos and philodendrons and will make a mixed planting - those are some of my favorite plants!
OK......Rich you shocked me again when you chopped the aloe. I was praying you picked up one of the thanksgiving cactus's also, that would have been a huge win for us followers. Maybe next year. I'm so excited for your move to your new home, CONGRATULATIONS! It would be so neat if you could film some plant action, placement, etc. if you are not to busy. lol I hope and pray all goes smoothly. ADVICE: wear a hat so you don't pull anymore hair out Love and Peace.
My concern with using the odd container with plants is getting it out again without damage when it needs repotting. I leave plants in a nursery pot and put that in the container instead. Easier to water too. Thanks for the fertilization tip. I try to remember to fertilize a little every watering.
I also like to put plants together as well! Particularly my snake plant and pothos with some generic sedum. The snake grows upward while the pothos grown "down." The sedum fills out and take over the open spaces of soil. Sedum is a succulent but gets pretty thirsty here in South Texas. They help make sure the snake plant or whatever else they're planted with doesn't get too wet. Bit it's a great texture!
I have a Frankenpot just like yours! Mine has Pothos Cebu Blue, Marble Queen, Manjula, and Neon, and Philodendron Brasil, Micans, and Heartleaf. The only one that doesn't thrive is the Micans---it often has dried leaves, while the others don't. I love seeing all the diverse leaf forms clustered together!
@@hnelson5609 My pleasure. I think the Micans would do better if I waited for it to have a more robust root system before I plant it together with its "cousins". It's almost like the others take all the good stuff and leave poor Micans to fend for the leftovers. It grows, but looks puny and papery, while the others size up and stay glossy and healthy-looking.
I like your idea of mixing the different plants. I’m going to try that when I need to repot my pathos (devils ivy there). I hope your move went well. That’s a lot of plants to move. And everything else. I hope your new place is wonderful.
I have some spider plant pups that I plan on putting in soil in a couple of weeks. I didn't expect any this year so it's exciting that I might have some baby spider plants to give to college students! I'm using some vacation time in December to prepare for Christmas, but I will absolutely be using some of that time to do some extra work on my houseplants! I work in a factory under bright lights so when I go home I tend to like most of my lights off. I also prefer cloudy over sunny days unless there's snow on the ground. Since becoming a plant parent I have many grow lights and I leave lights on longer in the rooms I spend the most time in...I also catch myself hoping for sunnier skies even when it's blistering hot outside. I appreciate you talking about cold damage to plants near the entrance. It's similar to cut flowers being sold in the produce section. I know companies have done extensive research in how to get customers to spend more money in their stores, but it is very annoying when you know they're selling you sub-par products because of this.
Love the macrame makeover. Perhaps it would be easier to "redress it" while it's still hanging , from its plastic straps. Once sorted with macrame cradle ,then remove the plastic clips.
18:01 omg that’s a great idea!!! I was thinking of that too or putting some pothos with my snake plants or with my arrowhead plants … my albo is just a brown mess it was so pretty 😕 has a solid white vein leaf section basically like blooming flowers lol
My string of hearts I just take that extra cutting and spiral it at the top and pin it down with bobby pins and it eventually roots in and that’s how I get a very full top.
Thank you for sharing. I am going to cut my string of hearts today and try to propagate it. With the spider plant, do you leave the stems on the plant after you cut the tiny "spiders"? Or should I cut the long, hanging stems off the mother plant?
I just put the baby in the soil. Spider plants will grow tons of babies especially once they’re root bound in their pot. They grow very quickly. I put 5 babies in a hanging pot, 4 months ago and now I have a nice size specimen
Congratulations on the move to your new brighter space. Will you be doing a boxing up video for moving your jungle? I am looking for a new place just now and light requirements for my twenty odd plants is high on the list although watching your content i have learned much about adding grow lights should natural light not be as generous in the next . I currently have a large sliding glass door with a southern exposure.
Just a suggestion from a fan, can you please repost these videos with the title Winter Plant care, etc because December for us down under is summer. It was over 100 degrees F yesterday 🥵🥵🥵🚿🚿🚿
Good morning and thanks for a great video on a blustery day!! My Spider Plant is living her best life and looks great, but she's not giving me any Pups. Whhhhhyyyyyy??😭 Congratulations on the move!!
Patience, Grasshopper. I rooted a pup a year ago and while it's grown tremendously, it has yet to make babies. (No, you don't need a 'Daddy'....no birds-and-bees talk required). Two factors: Age and being a bit root-bound. My mother plant went into an eight-inch hanging pot three years ago and hasn't been reported since. I give it a bit of fresh soil once a year, just sprinkling it on top of the old soil. She produces dozens of children. Mine seems to drink a lot of water and I do mist the babies from time to time, since they do have small aerial roots. I'm sure yours will crank out children as long as it looks happy now.
@ You’re the best!! She is still just a baby herself; grew her from a cutting from a Home Depot floor freebie in August (a manager gave her to me); so the knowledge to wait is appreciated. Just like life.☺️
My Ponsettia is 6-7 years old now (looks like a little tree now...). My feeling ist, if it makes it through the first winter, it will be okay. Fingers are crossed.
2 Qs; I'm a tea drinker myself and have these nice tins, but won't they rust if used as pots for 🌱? We don't want that.😉 Also with re to the hanging plants... How do you water the darn thing without having it drip all over? Just bottom watering and then waiting a day till it dries? 🙈 Ponsettia... 😑 Given up years ago. Such a diva. It never lasts past Xmas at my house. Bought a really nice fake one a couple of years ago and I whip it out every Xmas season and store away with the rest of decorations in Jan. Season"s Greetings! 🎄✨
Spider plants: if you don’t do something with those pups, and they grow to the ground, they will root into carpeting. My parents took some from me when I moved out of state, years and years ago. None of us had any idea what we were doing, and the plants were thriving via near neglect…and then my mom realized they had grown into the rug. Ultimately, they had to replace the carpet. Uh, sorry, Mom!
Love this channel, just a quick question about planting your plant in a metal container as you did: what about rust? I used one metal container before as a cute pot to put my nursery pot in, but it started to rust on the inside from the water. I ended up putting a plastic bag inside it. Do you know if rust is harmful to the plants?
I just subscribed to your channel. Love all the information . So I’ve had a green Shamrock for a few years. I didn’t know that you were supposed to let them go dormant in the winter. It’s always been a full plant that gives me many flowers throughout the year. Do you really have to put it in dormant??? Thanks USA Niles Michigan
I did put it in a cool dark place. I will try it this year. It doesn’t seem to want to go dormant itself. So I will do it this way from one of your videos.
Hello Master of the Sheffield cult- I've discovered a new interesting plant that I think you should try to grow, the "monstera subpinnata"... Have a look at it please 🙂
That tea tin is going to rust in a short time if it is indeed made of tin. Please replant that gorgeous little snake plant into something different. I'm sure Mrs Sheffield wouldn't like her retro tea tin to rust and have to throw it out.
Mrs. Sheffield is going to be angry when her tea tin rusts out from being damp! Also, how are you going to up pot that, with the tin being so much bigger than the hole in the top?
I love your videos but sometimes it’s a spectator sport for me. I’d just go buy another String of Hearts rather than mucking around with tiny cuttings 😂
I remember watching one of your videos saying the zz plant is slow growing. I've had mine for about two months and there is not 1 but 5 new stems growing. Im a beginner so Im ecstatic about it. Oh and he is about 3 feet from a south facing patio door. Guess it loves it 🥰 Thanks Richard! Your the best!!

That jar hack for humidity is GENIUS!
Wouldn't the plant get too humid & possibly rot? I wonder if it would be better to have some ventilation?

I just tried to revive my aloe today and your tip is sooo timely. Imma going to let her callous over! Thank you!! 🪴
I started using clear food containers from take home places. I punch holes iin the bottom to creatw drainage holes
Like it!
Sometimes I buy food just for the container🙂

I don't know actually. I just leave it i guess. Not sure what happens to it
Congratulations on the move to your new brighter space. Will you be doing a boxing up video for moving your jungle?

There'll be something to watch
I was under the impression that Candelabra Aloes are supposed to grow like that
Can you have one session on Poinsetta, types, propagation light, water requirements. Thanks
I bet Mrs Sheffield would appreciate a macrame Owl art piece on the wall of your new home.
Congratulations on your new home! And i always start spiders in water, good to know i can just plunk em in the soil 😊

@@SheffieldMadePlants Grateful I have plenty of both, 🤣especially now knowing it's a longer process. Thanks!!
I haven’t seen any videos about moss poles .maybe you can think about about that 😀
Thanks for the video❤🇨🇦
I jumped mid way into your video and the way I GASPED when you cut that aloe vera :))))))) I was so out of context.
😳
My Ponsettia is 6-7 years old now (looks like a little tree now...). My feeling ist, if it makes it through the first winter, it will be okay. Fingers are crossed.

Rust could happen but i'll deal with that when i need to. I water over my sink
very nice
Good luck moving house

Take a shot for every 'Dead easy!' 😂😍
Spider plants: if you don’t do something with those pups, and they grow to the ground, they will root into carpeting. My parents took some from me when I moved out of state, years and years ago. None of us had any idea what we were doing, and the plants were thriving via near neglect…and then my mom realized they had grown into the rug. Ultimately, they had to replace the carpet.
Uh, sorry, Mom!
That’s wild
Doesn’t your propagation success percentages drastically decrease if you propagate in the winter or cold months?
As long as light is good and not freezing it’s fine
What brand of water conditioner do you use, think I missed where you mention it. Thanks 😀🇨🇦
API
Thank you so so much. Now I know what to do. 👏🏾 ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
How far down the stem of the Calathea elgergrass should I be chopping please?
All the way
Can I do the same thing with my string of pearls as you’ve done with your string of hearts?
Yes.
Yep
Love this channel, just a quick question about planting your plant in a metal container as you did: what about rust? I used one metal container before as a cute pot to put my nursery pot in, but it started to rust on the inside from the water. I ended up putting a plastic bag inside it. Do you know if rust is harmful to the plants?
Don't think so but a snake plant won't need much water, which is why i chose it
Help! Tell us about bromeliads. I've been fussing with them for a couple of years now. No bloom, just pups. Why does it do that???
Can someone please recommend the best moss pole to use for a large monstera?
Yes use a cheap coco pole. Monstera doesn't need a moss pole to size up. Light is more important.
I used kratiste biobased climbing pole and I loved it. it can be easily extended, doesnt need water and it's 100% organic
Mossify
My Monstera is a large one. I bought a cedar fence picket(5') to support mine. Using velcro straps to hold it to it.
Does the aloe remaining in the pot after you cut off the top keep growing? Ending up with two aloe plants?
It should do yes but it'll probably be lopsided
I just subscribed to your channel. Love all the information . So I’ve had a green Shamrock for a few years. I didn’t know that you were supposed to let them go dormant in the winter.

You don’t have to no. Eventually it’s probably a good idea though to refresh it

Vintage tins are a great look for plant pots, however they do rust and the graphics fade from the sun...
Hello Master of the Sheffield cult- I've discovered a new interesting plant that I think you should try to grow, the "monstera subpinnata"... Have a look at it please 🙂
10:26 someone has emotional scars from spider mites. Same bro
what does one do with the Aloe that you made Headless ?1?
I use a shallow pot for all SOH. Their roots are shallow. No need for all the soil.
Aren't mineral and salt build up might be a problem without drainage?
That aloe is starving for more sun. Its etiolated with smaller than normal leaves. If it can't have the space for sun, now there's two.
Gonna try iy for my string of dolphins
Great stuff 👍
My string of hearts got bare at the top too. I used one strand and circled it at the top, added top soil. No one will notice. Shhhhhhhhh
That tea tin is going to rust in a short time if it is indeed made of tin. Please replant that gorgeous little snake plant into something different. I'm sure Mrs Sheffield wouldn't like her retro tea tin to rust and have to throw it out.
Mrs. Sheffield is going to be angry when her tea tin rusts out from being damp! Also, how are you going to up pot that, with the tin being so much bigger than the hole in the top?
I love your videos but sometimes it’s a spectator sport for me. I’d just go buy another String of Hearts rather than mucking around with tiny cuttings 😂
