Also, your videos definitly deserve much more love than what they're getting. The content is very infromative and intertaining, yet almost no one is seeing it
I’m so glad I found your channel! I have about 50 plants and love them. Now I can grow them even bigger. Thank you thank you thank you! You’re enjoyable to watch very knowledgeable and make it simple to understand!
I’ve seen a lot of garden RUclipsrs make that claim, that air pockets in soil mean the roots will dry out. But scientifically speaking it’s not true unless we’re talking about air pockets at the outside edge of the pot where the soil pulls away from the pot. Air pockets in moist soil will be very humid, and should cause no problems whatsoever. In fact there are aeroponic systems (a specific type of hydroponics) which rely partly on air humidity to function. Not to mention, many of the tropical plants we keep in pots are naturally epiphytic, and grow in rainforest tree canopies where they receive irregular flow of water and nutrients with their roots in (humid) air most of the time. So the idea that air pockets in soil would be a problem doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. With that said, I did find this video helpful. One of my tropicals was drowning and I’ll be getting it back on the path to recovery this afternoon. Thank you for the walk-through.
I appreciate the thoughtful comment! It’s true, small air pockets are a hugely wonderful thing for root development and health! What im trying to avoid are very large gaps. The goal here is to let the size of the air gaps be dictated by the ingredients used in the soil so that a standard is maintained. By settling in the soil we avoid bottlenecks that can leave roots so far away from any source of moisture that they dry out and die off. I’ll admit, this isn’t a super common occurrence, but when troubleshooting it’s nice to know that all precautions were taken in the soil because it’s not something you can see unless you take the soil apart.
🌹🌹🌹🌹!!!! Dear, I am facing the same problem with the same aglaonema since 15 days and was looking for remedy. Fortunately I came across this nice video. I am from North of Pakistan and the weather at my location is cold (Temp=3-15 deg C, Humidity= 20-47%). *I will do as you did but where to keep the plant, in a greenhouse or under the roof in indirect bright light.*
I've always feared cutting off the root or pulling the soil from the roots, or repotting when wet with HP, cause last time I did, it died. But I'll give it a shot.
Update: They are alive, they yellowed and was put into a bigger container. Lost some of the roots while repotting, gave a little over 1/16th of a cup after transplanting, and fed another 1/16 today after they got light. They seem to be surviving. 😊 Overwatering is my biggest fear, and root rot/mold are my biggest concerns.
I would love for you to do a repotting on overwatered string of hearts. My tubers always turn to mush. I honestly don’t think I’m watering too much but maybe I am. Maybe my soil isn’t packed tight enough. I often squeeze the pot to aerate it so it dries quicker.
Wish I would have known this before I lost so many of mine last year! It took me until the last few weeks to realize it! once I move them all outside getting more sun they are perked up and thriving! Doubled in size in less than a week. that was the whole problem. It was causing me to over water them.
Is it a bad idea to seperate plants from pots that are crowded, if you got them from a big box store? I bought a pothos plant and realized it was 20+ cuttings in one pot. I know they can survive together for a while but I feel the over-crowding in some plant's cases can be a big problem if left alone.
Hi! I followed your advice and left my peace lily’ roots drying overnight; to kill the bacteria because I didn’t have hydrogen peroxide. Next day my plant look dead and eventually died.. Please do not try this method on a peace lily. I’m extremely sad. I tried to repot it; cut the leaves but it still died.
Our plant sitter drowned all our plants over the holidays. Thank you for this plant rehab video!!!

He has a huge following on tik tok

@@raeelliott2314 i love hearing that- exactly what I’m hoping to do on this channel! Make plant care easy!
I can hear my plants thanking you for posting this… from, a chronic over-waterer
My new favourite YT channel
Thanks for demo. Will come in handy!
Hi nice one and thanks. Would like to watch one about how to get the plant wall behind you. Really good idea
Your energy is positive,🌿🌿 thank u 🫶✌️

Okay first off, i love the editing of this video! Second, thank you for the general topic and third, LOVE the aroid. BANGER all around Tanner!
Thank you! We hired a new editor to help me out. He’s WAY better than me 😂😂
Lol group effort, your confidence in these videos has been shining through too
Slap that pot montage was giving Tim and Eric energy
“.. the lower the light the plant is in, the slower the water is going to be processed…”
_cactus and succulents have entered the chat_
This was really helpful! Thank you.
Great video, very concise but comprehensive
I dont think you need to tap the pot though the water will compact the soil next time anyway
You are the best, fantastic information thanks 👀

Outstanding!! I’ll be following up
Can you fertilize after root rot

i can't do a reppoting now without slapping the pot while making eye contact with an imaginary camera
