Very good tips, I'm not a beginner but certainly not an expert either Thank you for all the informative videos on the channel Cheers from Denmark, and a great weekend to everyone
Fantastic advice, as always. Your videos are clear, concise, and chock-full of great information. I'm still a beginner even though I've had some of my plants for a couple of years. I always learn something from your videos. TY from BC Canada.
Sometimes when you bring a plant home or one arrives in the mail, the soil is so saturated with water that I will usually repot right away but that's the only time do. I always enjoy your vdieos. Thanks for all of the great tips.
Thank you for commenting the dormant time with ZZ plants. Up to two years?! Wow.... I repotted and devided mine in mid february, it´s the end of october now and it has done absolutely NOTHING, well, at least nothing visible above the soil :-D but it looks lush, fine, the leaves are green and shiny, everything seems to be good with my ZZ. So I´ll wait.... and wait even more :-D I think I am going to scream when a new baby will pop up some day!
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. Two years ago when I was a total beginner your content set me on the right path to care for my plants, so a thousand thanks to you. Would you mind doing a video on artificial lights for indoor plants? I think there are a lot of products on the market, sometimes adverised by plant youtubers that are a total waste of money. I would love to hear your thoughts in a little bit more extent in this subject -and winter is coming, I suspect many people would welcome your expert guidance :)
I train my ZZ to spend all summer on my patio where it reaches 30c+ and direct sun for most of the day, mainly the hottest part. Zone 5b/6, Atlantic Canada. I'm soon to bring all my tropicals back and will have problems making them fit because they have all grown so much.
This was so helpful ! Especially the tips at the end for the plant feeling unwell. I have written those down on a notepad and I expect to reference frequently during winter months. Thank you!
Hello there! I feel fortunate to have found your channel, as it has been increasing my knowledge about house plants every day. I live in Dublin, Ireland, in a small space where there is not much indirect sunlight available. I also have a few houseplants in Dhaka, Bangladesh, where there is plenty of sunlight, but the same house acts differently due to different weather conditions. Your videos have helped me understand these nuances better. My collection of houseplants includes Dracaena Janet Craig/Compacta, Kentia Palm, Arrowhead Vine, Asparagus Fern, Aloe Vera, Corn Plant (Dracaena fragrans), Golden Pothos, Parlour Palm, and ZZ Plant. The stems of my Dracaena plants are very weak and thin, and I am planning to change their pots (currently in a ceramic pot without drainage) to a pot that has drainage holes. I have a few doubts, and I would appreciate it if you could help me clear them up. 1. If I choose to repot all of my plants in a clear plastic drainage pot (like an orchid plant pot), would the ambient lighting affect the root system if they are not kept inside an outer pot? 2. In Ireland, plant soil is referred to as compost, and there are some ready-made composts available for houseplants, such as Westland Houseplant Potting Mix (Enriched with Seramis). Would it be better to add some extra perlite or leca to the mix? 3. Is it okay to use the same potting mix for all the houseplants? In closing, let me express my gratitude for helping us by imparting your vast knowledge, and we look forward to watching more of your videos in the days to come. Hejdå :)
"Pot tipping" or root checking is the #1 most valuable habit I learned way late into my plant and gardening journey. Pot tip your seedlings, pot tip plants you buy, pot tip everything you can within reasonablr size semi regularly. Not only do you get a literal visual on the lifeline of your plants, you establish an understanding of root growth rate, how pots affect those roots, how those roots vary across plants, and likely most importantly, you can see how your soil is saturating and gauge how effectively you are watering.
Thanks for giving us all your information. I am not as good as I wish I am altough I give my best to have most of your tips in mind. It doesn't work most of the time especially with babys of the older plants. Hope it might be better with every further plant which should be easy for beginners ;)
Great advice! Great channel! Might I add....before you buy a plant learn something about it first...what kind of light does it need and can you give it that light? What care does it need and are you willing to do that? Is it a safe plant to have around pets/ children? And how big might it get, do you have room for it once it grows beyond the size it is in the store?
Repoted about 80% of plants on the day of purchase (killed only one- Strelitzia Nicolai- i think due to rubbish soil) looks like they thriving. Also microdosing fertilizer with every watering all year round, will see what will happen:)
Thank you so much. A very informative video. Could you please share information if we can buy the pumice soil blended with akadama and log term minerals from you? I will be really happy to get this perfect soil for the close containers from you since I cannot find the long term minerals and akadama here. Thank you.
Please make möte videos about pests. Especially thrips. Is it enough to quarantine a plant in the same room but different window? I read they fly badly and use the wind to move. Indoors there is no wind now when doors are closed. I have thrips again. But too many plants and difficulty to find places to quarantine them.
Hi, I live in Stockholm and have a garden In my balcony. How can I keep my garden insect free in autumn and winter season? Please give me some suggestion
Put down the watering can, my number one issue with most people killing thier plants with kindness. I use massive pots for my mother's, only water once a month that way, the albos love it.
Your plant is from the Genus “Monstera”. It is most likely to be a Monstera deliciousa (small form). In my experience, black spots on the Monstera might be caused by a number of things, including overwatering, sun damage, pests or a fungal infection. There maybe different causes, but the good news is that and the spots/damage also looks a bit different in each of these cases. So it is possible to research online to nut it out. Good luck
Note: I'm reposting my question here, sorry! Here's a very important question fine Sir. I've recently started bottom watering because of videos I saw that explain how it's better for the roots because it encourages the roots to grow down rather than encircle the pot causing plants to become root bound. So my question is, and I know it will depend on many things, but...do you recommend the water reach half way up the plant or even further up, like 1 1/2 inches from the top of the soil? I use a water meter and it reads dry half way down the soil. So am I not letting the plant absorb enough water before calling it a day. I haven't heard you speak on this...even in the bottom watering video. Thanks for answering my question. It's a good one.
Best plant channel on RUclips!!

This video was unbelievably helpful. Thank you
Very basic n very important info..thanks ❤️
I feel like a plant expert after watching so many of your videos. Most of what I know about plants, I've learned from your channel.
I will try the Perlite and the soil when I repot the Giant plant.
This was so helpful ! Especially the tips at the end for the plant feeling unwell. I have written those down on a notepad and I expect to reference frequently during winter months. Thank you!

Thank you. Can you please give us tips on Coleus care?
I loved your advices !
Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thanks for giving us all your information. I am not as good as I wish I am altough I give my best to have most of your tips in mind. It doesn't work most of the time especially with babys of the older plants.

So good!!!
Thank u So muche

Tip 16; get a moisture meter.
Repoted about 80% of plants on the day of purchase (killed only one- Strelitzia Nicolai- i think due to rubbish soil) looks like they thriving. Also microdosing fertilizer with every watering all year round, will see what will happen:)
Excellent as always. Can you please tell me if I can use NPK (20:20:20) powder fertilizer for my indoor plants?
Thank you so much. A very informative video.
Could you please share information if we can buy the pumice soil blended with akadama and log term minerals from you? I will be really happy to get this perfect soil for the close containers from you since I cannot find the long term minerals and akadama here. Thank you.
Could you please tell me the name of the plant you demonstrated in number 3? It's so pretty!
Is it okay to add orchid bark to increase drainage along with perlite?
I need some information about triangeloxalis
( in winter time)
Please🙏
👍🏻🧡💚

What does black spots mean on the leaves of a Swiss cheese plant? Sorry I do not know the Scientific name my plant.
Your plant is from the Genus “Monstera”. It is most likely to be a Monstera deliciousa (small form).
In my experience, black spots on the Monstera might be caused by a number of things, including overwatering, sun damage, pests or a fungal infection.
