Hi Jan! I know why your Manjula got so many shoots...Manjula pothos are absolute beasts! At least in my experience. I have one and I think it's the most vigorous plant I have ever owned. I have just made preparations to put a couple of cuttings on a moss pole. Just waiting for a warm day. I really like how you have categorized "care" and "conditions". I have never heard it explained that way (Not even in college where I studied plant science!) The one thing that care and conditions have in common, is that each care, and each condition is a limiting factor. If any one of these factors is lacking, it can limit growth and vigor. Most likely it is rare for a houseplant to have all care and conditions met at all times, conditions especially can sometimes be out of our control. But with a little trial and error, and perseverance, we can give care and conditions sufficient for a beautiful plant. Thanks for pointing that out!
Well said !! Another thing conditions & care has in common is consistency - no point in providing your plants with great conditions or good care for a short time only. If you want your plants to thrive continuously you need to continuous provide good conditions & care for them :) definitely not a set & forget hobby :)
My heart skips a beat each time you do a Manjula vid. Your yard also looks stunning. Can't wait to see you in your own house. It's going to be paradise. 😍
I am so obsessed with the Manjula plant I buy them in bulk when I see them in our big box stores. I’ve tried growing many plants on moss poles and planks to no luck. Your plant is beautiful! You’re very inspiring but I’m happy just to have the Manjula in variegated collection
Great video. I appreciate the effort you go to explaining your process and rationale. I am learning a lot from you. The proof is definitely in the pudding.
I think you are the most expressive, genuine and open person I have plant watched. I hope you don't get bored and find new ways of inspiring we the audience and your plant friends❤
Jan, I think this is the best documentation of PROCESS you have done to date. I appreciate you showing what's happened to the plant 2.5 months later, with details on where individual leaves were and where they are now; as opposed to many of your videos, which I would characterize as BEFORE and AFTER, since they show less details of what's happened to the plant and the time frame is wider, say 6 months to 1 year. PROCESS videos are the difference between you being an inspiration for our own indoor gardens, and you teaching us exactly how to achieve the best results. ❤ Congratulations on your greenhouse and on your growth as a content creator. Please keep the PROCESS videos coming. I know it's time consuming, but I'd suggest taking the extra time to include more and clearer closeups of the stems where you're getting changes in growth. i.e: when the leaves you pointed out were getting smaller, and also in the 4 new growth points.
Thank you for showing us moss poles over and over again. I know you feel you've already said it all but some of us (me) are watching this like we're lost in the car and have to turn the radio off! 😅 I finally got the nerve to plant my manjula on a pole last week and it rotted and had a fit so fast I didn't even get a chance to water a dry pole !
Hehe I’m always worried my content is too repetitive but maybe I have no need to be concerned :) sorry to hear about your manji … don’t give up :) next time you’ll have more success :)
This was interesting. I was amazed at his chop, placing the plants side x side for a fuller appearance. The plant was lovely. I would like to try growing a plant on a pole or stake in the future. I prefer this side x side although, it will probably depends on the plant and each situation.
I've been watching your videos since Christmas and I'm delighted with the plants. I live in Poland, so you know the climate here. I have about 200 plants and decided to try using stakes. Thank you 💚
Wow to your Manjula, I recently bought a Manjula after watching one of your videos - one of the most difficult plants. When I re-potted I discovered it was actually three cutting 2 of which immediately rotted, I am now trying to repropogate from the one remained survived leaf. Pothos are usually so easy.
Nice sponsor, I like rain forest sounds as well in my home made jungle (accompanied with plant 'sounds' recorded with electrodes, something big that produces bass. Helps me relax for sure). My mind definitely needs some help to calm, like I imagine more and more people do with all the screaming distractions :) Will keep Aura in mind for when I'm done at the veterinarian (always fun when the bills keep coming, luckily there is no big threat of health declining right now so only moderate stress).. I wish you and Bradley a healthy and calm year!
Thank you for once again sharing your efforts. I might try cutting new growth earlier on the first pole to encourage more stems earlier. We’ll see how that goes. Happy growing. 🌿🍃🌱
What a surprisingly successful chop and extend! Im curious, would you consider moss poles care or conditions? When repotting my newly aquired Manjula Pothos, I put a couple rooted stems on a moss pole and the rest in its new pot with your awesome aroid mix recipe. Both plants got similar indoor conditions, but in the 6 months of growth now, the moss pole Manjula leaves are twice as big as the other pot outgrowing its grow vertical . Now i need to rewatch your suggestions on taking plants off to put onto a regular moss pole 😹 which reminds me ( its the dead of winter here) making it much harder to keep optimal conditions. I may have to wait to repot/pole my Manjula? As well, I want to wait to video my moss poles for you after they've recovered from the near disaster of below freezing temps and broken furnace. Hopefully a video of Spring growth here will still work for you?😻
Thanks :) moss poles are definitely care :) they mimic the trees in nature so in my opinion it's the best way to grow the plants true to nature & realise the potential the conditions have set :) Yes, avoid too much stress/shock all at ones :)
Hi Jan. I’m a newbie subscriber and am ramping up my plant collection, care, and conditions. I would LOVE you aroid potting soil recipe. Thx, MaryPat in California
good call mentioning to subscribe. I e been watching your channel for years & I swear I had subscribed, but no!Well done! Keep doing what you do my friend. It’s inspirational.
Thank You for Explaining the whole processes and solutions with the reasons why it works or not 😢 It's A Very Nice Video 📸 You've created and such a beautiful purchase to have a green house practically pays for itself Over Time Are You contemplating with food prices rising growing food in a well maintained hydroponic system Yet ??? 😮❤ within this greenhouse environment 🤔💡💞???? As that would definitely Help You & Your Friends ,in the future if You did This 😮 Sadly though these plants are Beautiful Their not Quite 😢eatable 😢 and surviving 😭 in all of our Futures is going to be a very necessary thought process 😮❤
As a vegan, I eat a lot of veggies & my garden would never be big enough to grow enough veggies to survive :P but I have started growing some herbs, cucumbers & tomatoes :)
I was going to ask you if you still use GT foliage on your outdoor plants now that you use a sprinkler system, but you answered it for me, your manjula is just amazing, my Nelson has some growing to do 😕
Wow 😍 she looks more beautiful every time I see her, ❤️ but now it looks like she really love her new place😊 is it a slow grower you think? Mine is growing sooo slow! But there are multiple plants in the pot though. Do you think I have to separate them so it's only one or two?
I keep getting brown spots on my manjula I’ve moved it repotted it but I can’t figure out how to make it happy any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
I tend to underwater mine because I’m so paranoid and I can say I have zero brown spots! I truly think it’s from too much water. My plant is huge too! It’s also under grow lights.
It's hard for me to trouble shoot without knowing the conditions the plant is growing in, seeing the plant & understanding what happened historically., Have you checked the root health? Are you potentially misting your plants but have sufficient airflow?
@@sydneyplantguy I have it growing with a moss pole, clear pot and a chunky mix(orchid mix, perlite, worm castings) I thought I was giving it too much water I’m thinking that after watching you video multiple times the moss pole has been drying out between watering I’m going to to check the roots to see if there’s any root rot. Thank you your videos are educational and much appreciated
Hi, Jan! I’m one of your new subscribers and am still catching up on previous videos. Please, forgive me if you have answered my question before. When you do a “chop and extend” and plant the top and bottom together, how do you adjust your watering with the bottle technique? Do you reduce the water on the bottom side? Do you put a bottle on both sides?
Hey :) was I water both poles like I would water them if they were potted up separately. i assess the need using the crunch test - but haven’t really noticed a big difference in watering requirements between top & bottom once they are planted next to each other
@@sydneyplantguy Oh, okay. Do you have to be more careful about overwatering the potting mix and roots that reside in the pot? Do you adjust the mix for the pot to have additional drainage to your normal aroid mix?

What a great example of what happens with "conditions vs. care"!
Nothing like seeing the results and continuing to be inspired to chop my own!
😄

I’ve tried growing many plants on moss poles and planks to no luck.
Your plant is beautiful! You’re very inspiring but I’m happy just to have the Manjula in variegated collection
Crazy!!!! I have a global green that just threw 5 growth points!!!! Definitely not expected!!!
Pothos are just rewarding plants to grow :)
Great video. I appreciate the effort you go to explaining your process and rationale. I am learning a lot from you. The proof is definitely in the pudding.
Thank you :) appreciate it!
That is wat I'm talking abaut just a quick updait on some plants nothing more. Love it!!
I just bought my first Manjula. This video hasbeen fantastic. I can’t wait to watch my plant grow, grow, GROW.
Happy growing :)
🤯 Look at that thick plant stem and huge leafs!!! 😍
Those HUGE leaves!!😍
Caught you again!!! Need to make coffee 1st then watch my fav plant guy 😍😍
Thanks :)
Such a beautiful plant, I love your crystal clear info it gives me the confidence to do my first chop and extend ❤❤❤
Thank you :) glad my videos are helpful:)
You are incredible Sir! I wish you were my neighbor 💚 we could talk plants all the time. I love your enthusiasm for your plants
hehe thanks :)
What a gorgeous manjula!!! Looks like you found a perfect home for it.
Thanks :)
Thanks Jan! I'm excited to chop and extend
Happy growing :)
Wow 🤩😍. That's crazy leaf growth. It's found where it wants to be. I love the way that manjula tells us it's life story.
Haha yes she really does :D
10 weeks ?wow ,is gone fast,and so this leaves that have grown huge so soon ‼️
💚🌱🌵☘️💚
Yes she hardly skipped a beat :)
I think you are the most expressive, genuine and open person I have plant watched. I hope you don't get bored and find new ways of inspiring we the audience and your plant friends❤
Thank you :) there's so much to learn about plants - doubt it will ever get boring :)
That manjula is insane! 😫🪴
Thanks :)
I love your Manjula, I cant wait for mine to grow that big.
Thanks :)
My heart just skipped a beat! 😍
Beautiful Manjula Pothos! I can certainly imaagine multiple plants climbing the pole, creating a beautiful, full display.
Thanks :)
I saw this plant in Spain (south) growing as a Hedera. covering a large wall. It was amazing!

I gave the thumbs up before I even watched the video 👍
Hehe thanks :)
Thank you
Thank you!
Wow I love this idea of putting the pothos top and bottom together ❤️ 👏 😍
This was interesting. I was amazed at his chop, placing the plants side x side for a fuller appearance. The plant was lovely. I would like to try growing a plant on a pole or stake in the future. I prefer this side x side although, it will probably depends on the plant and each situation.

Suppose it might be trickier than the average pothos due to the large amount of white it has 😊
Wow! What a beautiful pothos! I love watching your plants, and this is so informative!
Thanks so much 😊

Jan most nice praise for all your advice. I love all your flowers that are wonderful. Greetings from Slovenia 🤗
Thank you:)
Nice and terrific plant
Thanks :)
Man I wish I lived in a warmer and sunnier climate 😅
Thankyou for such a wonderful explanation. I’m learning so much from you Jan. she’s gorgeous and your greenhouse is so inspiring. 🌱🪴
Thank you :)
Great advice! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!:)
Love your Mandula is awesome 🤩 Nothing beats the color or variegation on this plant! 🫶🏼💚
Thanks :)
great information thank you.
Thanks :)
I had no idea there are any Pathos varieties that could get leaves that large. Live and learn....................
I love these videos where you go into detail about your process and where you think the success comes from. Also do you have any Florida beauties?
Thanks :) Yes I have a small one :)
Happy to reach your channel! Have you tried copper antennas on your plants? I guess you should give it a try! I have tried it on my own and it works!
Thank you :) never heard of it ... what's that?:)
Cảm ơn bạn rất đẹp 👍❤ thanks ❤❤❤
Manjula 😍😍
Is that Brad’s bell at the end of your opening jingle? Awesome plant. Great video… that’s my nice comment:)
It’s just a sound effect but it’s supposed to sound like his bell :)

How about fertiliser ? when you give the plants ?
Low dose of Foliage Focus with every watering :)
Wow 😍 she looks more beautiful every time I see her, ❤️ but now it looks like she really love her new place😊 is it a slow grower you think? Mine is growing sooo slow! But there are multiple plants in the pot though. Do you think I have to separate them so it's only one or two?
She was quite slow at the beginning but since she’s in the greenhouse she’s also super fast… so I reckon slow growth might be due to light issues :)
hello ,could you please tell me the Hight of you poles? I know when you add on its an even amount. Thank you for your time
two 90cm poles stacked on top of each other :)
thank you@@sydneyplantguy
I keep getting brown spots on my manjula I’ve moved it repotted it but I can’t figure out how to make it happy any advice would be greatly appreciated, thank you
Same here, I just purchased one and it’s turned brown on every one of the 8 leaves 😢
I’ve tried looking for answers and all I get is either overwatering or underwatering. If I ever finds solution I’ll post it here.

Do you tie the pot to the moss pole somehow? How can you lift it up without the pot falling off?
I don’t :) the chunky aroid mix keeps it all together :) (and eventually the roots)
The manjula i have on a mosspole is getting black spots on the white parts. Do you use silica for your manjula? Many people say that helpes.
I’m having the same issues with my Manjula
It's hard for me to trouble shoot without knowing the conditions the plant is growing in, seeing the plant & understanding what happened historically., Have you checked the root health? Are you potentially misting your plants but have sufficient airflow?

No :)
