Thanks Michael!!!
I love your dogs! And your plants! And your tour and care guide!
Thanks so much!!!
Thank you so much for showing us your zone. What a chill vibe. Totes comfortable, thank you
Thanks John!
You have a lot amazing healthy plants very beautiful and amaze
I appreciate the support!
Your dogs are absolutely adorable! :D
Thanks!
Love the dogs!
Thanks!
Oh man, your basement has turned into such a pretty jungle! The fancy philodendron collection is looking great--so many pretty varieties. thanks for another great video 🪴
It's pretty crazy what has happened to it in a year!!!
So happy to see the dogs again!
Good video. Cute puppies!
Thanks Tonya!
I love the shirt!! The fam did well!! Thank you for the video it's good to compare everyone's routines to make your own from what you learn.
You are so welcome!
Great shirt, yellow pencil is looking good. I like how you go into detail it is so satisfying for an indoor plant nerd like me. I have always fertilised all year round and then I just backed it off a bit in the cooler months. This year I changed (purely as an experiment) and gave no fertilser over winter even if there was active growth. I started fertilising again 3 weeks ago. ( I am on the other side of the planet and we often use s instead of z in words eg fertiliser/fertilizer and that's not the only weird thing about us). Already some of my plants are booming now and I am thinking that a rest time may be good for them. Time will tell but some of the growth I have seen has been astounding.
Wow....that is very interesting about letting the plant rest for a bit. Thanks Leanne!
Thanks for your shearing.
Thanks so much for watching!!!
@@EverythingPlants I love very much
Like the shirt! I live in a studio Apt with one window blocked by a garage in cloudy Oregon. I bought two 5 head medusa floor lamps with shades & each arm can be moved independently for the plants in the window, plus 15 farmhouse pendant lights. I also replaced my kitchen light shade with a clear glass decorative plate so the light shines thru to the kitchen plants. All fixtures have Feit A19 full spectrum bulbs. Over 60 plants stuffed in here. You just have to be creative from a decor standpoint. LOL..I have two hummingbird feeders outside the window and the hummers like that the plants are lit up...when I do plant chores, the hummers come to the window to check out what I am doing with "their" plants. Feit bulbs are inexpensive, low energy, work great and last forever. My plants love them...including Fiddy who grew another foot this summer. Your plant care is as always inspiring!
Most of my bulbs are feit as well and they do work great!!! I would definitely recommend them if you have a suitable fixture for them. Everything in my videos just looks cluttered all the time.....talking about all the grow lights haha
Lol...God help us in a power outage.
@@humbleservant9313 hahaha...great, now I need a generator
Hey! I live in equally cloudy Seattle, although this summer we broke records for the number of days above 90 degrees: 13! Stop laughing rest of the world. I noticed that hummingbirds look in my windows, too, and seem really nosy.
I like that shirt, looks comfy!
It is actually!!!
Oscar has grown sooo much!! Lol & Pickles is sweet💕
Love your plants & tips as well...totally real!
Yes he has lol Thanks Dana
Your cuprea looks so good! Mine put out a new leaf, but it's still pretty small.
As it ages it will increase in size!
Love plants & love dogs! My 2 favorite things! Both in one video is awesome. Love the plant chores & winter prep videos. Thanks for the tips. Just got a Jade plant so have high hopes one day mine will look like yours.
That is so awesome Linda. It will be beautiful in a couple years.....just follow my tips 😂
Good to see Pickles and Oscar, sooo cute!
Thanks R H!
Plant room looks so interesting and welcoming.
Thanks John! My wife says full and cluttered 😂
Memo to self: hide label maker & pencil.
😄
No.....lol
I slow down fertilizer at this time of year because I don't have the furnace on yet and it is much cooler at night, but as soon as the furnace starts coming on and the temp goes back to a fairly steady deal I fertilize through winter and tend to get growth throughout. Unless the plant is very obviously having a break I fertilize. I call this in between season the plant "winter" because it is the coolest it will be in the house, and honestly the darkest as I don't quite need to switch to lights yet but will be in the next few weeks. I tend to generally water "weakly weekly" but obviously that really means every time I water instead of weekly as not all my plants want a drink that often and others want one more often...
Thanks for the comments Marisa! I agree with your winter care and how some plants continue to grow....I will occasionally fertilize lightly to growing plants
Another informative 👌 video shows what a good plant dad 👨 you are. I've heard that you should water the plant before applying the fertilizers so roots don't burn,???
I do water before adding fertilizer with some plants that are extremely dry so that I don't waste the fertilizer as it just drains through. Otherwise I have never had any issues that I've noticed without watering first. I usually dilute the fertilizer anyways, so it's not usually full strength. Hope this makes sense.
I always enjoy these plant chore videos. Great footage of the puppies, makes me miss cocker spaniel. Great shirt😁
Aren't they wonderful dogs!
I'm so good to forget things that I bought slow release fertilizer and it's really perfect for me😅
I have plants on grow lights, I bought some out on Amazon, I needed one who clip.
I wish I have money for the soltech tho 😅
I didn't buy the cheap white one you talk about, I bought 2 of the ones with 4 long arms and one with 3 and so far they're okay! 😅
I hope they last at least 1 maybe 2 years
Oscar & pickles ❤️❤️ I have an Oscar too😆. Cuprea is gorgeous !
It is such a distinguished name haha
👍💚🪴 the changing seasons means lots of plants will be moving in my house…out of the 3 season sunroom, off the deck, away from the fireplaces, it’s a lot of work and I try to make the changes gradually so they aren’t shocked. My cellar is too chilly for my houseplants but the figs and amaryllis will be happy down there. Thanks for the dog fix I miss my dog…yours look so happy hanging out together. 🙏
Sounds like you have a lot of work ahead of you! Enjoy the nice weather while you have it
I bring my porch plants in to the basement for the fall/winter and have them under a grow light with mirrors. I like to keep them separate from my plants that don't go "outside" for pest concerns and lack of space in the house.
Have you ever had any major pest issues after bringing the plants back in?
No matter the season I fertilize almost monthly. Of course I live in North Carolina where we pretty much only have 2 seasons. I have a growing season pretty much year around. When I lived in a different state I only fertilized monthly during the growing season. In the middle of “winter” I have been known to repot. It is also humid here almost year around. I am so jealous of your jade plants. I have tried and just can’t keep one alive lol I use liqi dirt as my fertilizer and they have flourished with this fertilizer
Hey Bobbi! I wish I lived in a place with only two seasons. That is why I me tinned in the video that my plants under grow lights really have one season lol and I occasionally fertilize.
What do you think is the issue with your jades?
@@EverythingPlants I have no clue why I have such bad luck with Jades. I will try again someday lol
@@bobbiroberts6788 I live in Georgia and have the same issue with Jades. That and any type of fern have not survived in my home. The Jade plant drops leaves and the stems shrivel up, and nothing I have tried has worked. So maybe there is a trick to it. I had trouble with pitcher plants until I was told about placing a tray of water under them. And now mine is huge. So hopefully someone will show us where we've gone wrong with Jade plants in the South.
@@jerrywhidby. lol I have no luck with germs either. As for the jade plants I have watched many videos. I have done everything I know to do followed advise on this channel which I find to be the best and they still die. I even use a moisture meter and all to know avail. Lol
@@bobbiroberts6788 same here. Someone said that they are like fiddle leaf figs in that they do not like to be moved, so I did that. I also used a light meter. I have dozens of house plants that thrive. I would love to have a big Jade in our living room.
Your dogs are just adorable 🥰 🫶😌 Jeff
Thanks! We think so too haha
I saw a jade plant at safeway and I was going to grab it but I had a bunch more errands to run and it was going to have to sit in the car for like 5 hours so I didn't get one.... BUT you're making me braver Jeff!! I think if I see one that is already starting to be a bit of a tree form I will snatch it up and just make two trips! Thanks for the reminder that I should water my sons cacti!!
You must get a jade plant! Hahaha they are extremely fun to learn from.
That is awesome you are starting them young with learning about plants!
@@EverythingPlants lol he isnt young but he was started young! He is 18 now and he and his GF went to Italy for the summer! They are out East now for her birthday so I am babysitting the cacti :D I forget about them because they are in his room, but i hear cacti love heat and neglect so YAY! They were very much hydrophobic though so they got a good rain in the bathroom sink. Shouldn't need watered again until 2023 right? :D
I love my Soltech aspect lights as well. I struggle with the other lights not looking as good as the Soltech lights. They are just so decorative and beautiful.
Yes they are! How many and which ones do you have?
@@EverythingPlants I have two Soltech Aspect lights. I have Barrina T5’s and T8’s from Amazon on multiple shelves and grow tent. I hope Soltech ends up making additional options like floor lamps to keep that luxury home decor aesthetic.
@@melissadarnall399 I just filmed a grow light video based off this comment.... stay tuned
@@EverythingPlants oh fantastic! Thanks Jeff for taking the time to ask for replies!
💚💚
🥰
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I LOVE THE INTRO,sun stressed Jade and Hoya, so beautiful!!🥰. Your Cuprea is so beautiful as well!!💗. The Soltech grow lights are so pretty,thank you for the discount code!!🥰🥰. I love Dyna-Gro products! I use the GROW version for succulents and flowering plants....orchids,begonia and Hoya. Your Hoya are doing wonderfully, so I wouldn't change now. Since I am apparently the spokes person for your fan base in my area😁💓, the chickens (to comment or ask questions) love your shirt😍🤩and want to know when you will have merch!?!? Pickles is a huge hit and dew drop faced Oscar!💖💖. All felt a cool relaxed vibe in you, more chill, talking freely.💓💓. Apparently they don't read the comments ROFLMAO!! Everyone was shocked to learn that you have a daughter as we have seen toy cars mostly. I said that Pickles is a daughter!😁. The overall consensus was that you were so chill in this video, like talking to friends.DUHHH! Jeff( from here) is going to print cards and distribute them to all of us, like a challenge. To see how much we can boost your numbers! He is an EMT and sees way more people than most of us, so it's almost not fair.🙃. I am not dumb,I can play too. My cards will come with propagations!!!😁. LOVE CHILL TALKING YOU!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖!!!!!
Oh wow!!! Thanks so much Kimberly....there is alot to dissect in this comment as it is so wonderful and I don't know where to start. I think I should be doing another Q and A video soon to answer some questions that people might have.
Firstly....it blows my mind to hear I have a fan base in your area/group. It definitely made me smile and I am sure my wife would laugh LOL
Secondly....I think about merch all the time, but then think meh no one would want it. Sounds like that might not be the case. What would you like to see as merch? Design and even what type of merch....shirts, bags???
I would love to see what kind of cards you are talking about....feel free to send me it on IG. Thanks so so so very much for the support and I feel like this group will need a shoutout in the video sometime so it would be awesome if you left the names and this is extremely touching and important to me.
@@EverythingPlants My gf has a Trader Joe's Pickle shopping bag that she has had for 6 months to send to you!
First, you need a PO BOX!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰.
We all love you over here,I already told you that!!!
If you spray painted your utility light cones a matte black you probably would be much more satisfied with the appearance
This is actually brilliant.....thanks so much Syphira!
Love the pups!!!! 💚
Thanks!!!
I ordered some basic wall sconces and a sansi grow bulb and a bracket. I wish I could have went for the light you have but money is money... so I got 2 plug in fixtures for around 20 bucks and then two brackets for another 20 bucks and then the bulb I went with was like 30 dollars I want to say. I need to get some cord management going and a second bulb but I have a basic LED in the other one and then I popped a piece of wood I had hanging out as a shelf over the two... it is like I smashed a window hole into the room but I guess that's the point :D I got the white light type bulb so it definitely feels like a window. I turned it on for the first time yesterday and put the thermometer thingy under it and didn't have any dramatic heat difference so I am pleased with that as I don't want to be heating the house with lightbulbs! It is hot to the touch, but I think its like 300 watt equivalent so that is expected. I am impressed that it didn't shoot my temperature through the roof though. As a child my grandma's grow spaces were always unbearable and I get sick from heat soooo easily (it triggers full on migraines). So I am pleased with my makeshift space for now!
That is so awesome you are able to make the light and space work for you. There are so many different types of grow lights sometimes it all gets confusing. Haha I wish youtube would allow viewers to submit pictures in the comment section....I think that would be awesome to see everyone's plants
@@EverythingPlants I was thinking of sending you some on IG but its def rough because the basement is roughed in but def not finished, like the drywall is up but not painted or patched and there is furniture HAHA but what can you do? Do you have any clue on how to know when to repot a string of turtles or what type of soil to use? Mine has literally only needed watered twice since I got it a few months back, but it seems to stay moist because the soil is covered by the leaves. I would like to switch its pot since I don't think it needs a standard 4 inch grow pots depth? I am trying to figure out something tall to place it in without having so much soil that it isn't drinking from, if that makes sense! I was considering moving it to perlite in a clear tall wine glass type of setup but I am not sure how that would work for staying moist? GAHHHH
@@MarisaAndChew you should definitely send it on IG! I'd love to see.
I use a cactus succulent mix for my turtles. They generally don't need alot of water that's for sure. They typically have shallow roots, so that's why I don't pot ilthem in something too large or deep....the roots won't be able to use that moisture fast enough and may rot
I just did the same thing today. My grow bulbs aren’t very strong but any amount of extra light is good. Right? I am going to hang two over my Hoya table as well.
@@savedbygrace3686 my whole life I always just used extra lamps in winter, this year I invested more in plants and the extra lamps with grow bulb BC I'm going to be using a room like Jeff's that doesn't have natural lighting. Two of my plants are fiddles and I would like to attempt to keep them not mad 🤣
Thank you for the discount on Soltech! I love their look but they are rather expensive.
Yes, but I'll be buying another one as they look so nice. Even my wife likes this light and my plants love it!
@@EverythingPlants so you would say it's totally worth the money? I have a bulb already but it's too heavy for any of my lamps. (Trying to be cost conscious). So I cannot use it at this point.
@@dbbrbc these ones were given to me to review, but I would definitely buy one if you want a light that also functions as home decor. I think of it as replacing a lamp (which can also be expensive) So for that reason and that my plants do really well under the light, then I do recommend them. Ultimately it's what you are looking for in your place. Dobthe cheap Amazon ones work...yes, but personally I hate how they look. Hope this makes sense and helps.
Your plants are stunning! I eventually want to get the Sansi grow light but can't financially at the moment. What other grow lights/grow light bulbs do you recommend?
Thanks Adriana! Right now, most of my lights are the feit grow bulbs and they work very well and are affordable. You obviously have to have a lamp or fixture. The utility ones I have I don't like the look of them. Now the other two EXPENSIVE ones, but look awesome and perform wonderfully are the mother plantspectrum and soltech aspect growlights. These are the ones I currently use
I enjoy seeing your dogs along with your plants! I do have a question. I didn’t see the grow light by Mother. Do you still use it and has your opinion about it changed? Thanks for all your videos.
Hey Janice! Great observation and I still have them and love them....they function a bit differently as I have mine currently set up as a standing floor light. The soltech ones are awesome because it is providing top down light for my plants on planks to grow up towards the light. They are both excellent lights.
When you fertilize, do you "re-use" the fertilizer water from the tray?
That is actually a huge point that I left out. Yes, when I remember to do so and only for the same plant (incase there is bugs) Thanks Lynne!
Where did you get your plant shelf? I've got so many plants and not enough space for them since I moved in with my mom. Her house is full of items, so there's not much room for my items, especially my plants.
Hey Beverly. Here is the exact one I got...
www.jysk.ca/herning-5-tier-shelf-white.html
do you have any tips for a Alocasia Polly,i just got one and i love your videos
I've never had this one specifically but I do have an alocasia care video out
@@EverythingPlants thank you for info
My mom's Peace Lily's leaves are developing browning around the edge. I googled the problem. It said that the plant was either not getting enough water or too much water. She's been taking care of her for a year without any problems. Suggestions for this issue?
I would guess not enough water. And they also get brown spot if it's getting too much light
What's the breed of your dogs,your video is awesome.from New Zealand
Hello! Pickles is a mini dachshund/poodle cross and Oscar is a cocker spaniel!
I have a friend that just moved to New Zealand. Thanks for watching!
Can you add soil to plants that are getting low on soil, or do you repot them?
you can topdress most plants! If they are a bulb or tuber you may not want to as planting too deep can be an issue. I have popped plants out and put more soil on the bottom though and then just popped right back ontop. Had great growth and didn't need to repot or upsize!
I have often added some soil to the top....an example being my smaller pots of hoyas that I sometimes overflow with water. Eventually the soil runs out, so over time I'll have to add some.
@@EverythingPlants right, thanks!
Sometimes I add a tiny bit of potting soil on top, but I usually add Earthworm castings to the top of my plants. It looks like soil but it also adds a tiny bit of Nitrogen and reenergizes the existing soil. I use liquidirt and bottom water most plants so my soil level doesn’t usually get low.
That peace lilly in front of the fan looked like an extra full BOP! I was going to say how did you get it to NEVER rip but then you named it! LOL Peace lillys die super fast for me so I am scared to buy a cool one... sad times! Sorry always multiple comments but I have been told more comments helps the algorithm
Isn't it awesome!!! I love this sensation peace lily.
