Definitely keep up the doctor stuff, it makes your videos stand out and add another level based on other plant channels
Thanks so much!! I hope the associations are helpful :)
Legends Of Monstera oh very much so, really really helpful
I had same experience cause of no air flow,so....you r right
Excellent! I don't find your "doctor stuff" pretentious - I find it especially helpful. You have a unique perspective and knowledge that I'm grateful for.
There is considerable amount of confusion out there on misting. I've learned a lot from you today that I am going to apply immediately. Thanks for sharing this kind of detailed info!
Awww thanks so much. Glad you found it helpful!!
I agree completely. The medical analogies really help!
People who think Jimmy is pretentious,
are jealous. That’s all.
Jimmy is the nicest guy ever.
How could ppl even ...🙈
Hey! I like how you use your experiences as a doctor to explain things. I don’t find it pretentious at all. You are a natural teacher and that’s why I like learning from you. I only spray my kangaroo paw fern. Everything else is on its own. I do have a humidifier and a small fan hiding in the corner of my most plant populated room. I noticed the fan really helps. I kinda had an idea why, but your video helps solidify why my set up is working for me. Thanks!
You are most welcome. I figure there should be more logic-based, in the lack of evidence-based, reasoning behind us doing the things we do for plants. Thanks for following along. Cheers!
I love the included doctor info, I really helps me to understand more.
Thanks so much!! Just trying different things and seeing how people like it. So glad you do! Cheers!
Excellent knowledge base ...thank you for sharing Jimmy (;
I'm a nurse who just started collecting plants last year... And it's good to have a doctor who relatively explain medical to plant care... Makes things easier to absorb the principle esp about misting. Thank you!
Misting works for me because it curbs my tendency to overwater.
Absolutely.
This video is nearly 15 minutes long, but I didn't even notice the time go by PLUS you make sense! Love the 'Doctor stuff' and the little cut away scene's. Thank you for sharing.
Awww thanks so much! I do plan to make some excruciatingly long videos that feel excruciatingly long soon! 😈😈😈🤣🤣
I’m MISTI-FIED how you find the time to be a doctor and a knowledgable plant collector and RUclipsr but thank you! One question- what qualifies as low and high humidity? Mine is between 50% lowest and 75% highest over the last week...
I see what you did there 🤔🤣. If you are asking how low humidity needs to be to justify misting, I don’t know the answer to that. If you can afford or tolerate a humidifier, I would always suggest that over misting to increase humidity. If you are asking what is considered low humidity for aroids in general, most people would consider anything below 60% to be low. Most people aim for 60-70%. Anything above 70% is considered high and likely more optimal and conducive to growth and propagation. All my plants are grown in suboptimal conditions because honestly I’m just too lazy and busy 😅
🤣🤣
Thanks for this video. You explain misting really well and it makes a lot of sense. I'm really enjoying your channel. Love a science and medical approach to plants.
So glad you're enjoying it!! Cheers!
I like the doctor stuff, the way you explain things and relate it back the medical stuff makes it really easy to follow and you’re very informative. That’s why I’ve subscribed, for the education you give!
Thanks for watching and following along 🤗🤗
Now this is what I’m talking about! Like the Best Misting info ever!
Aww thank you. Glad you appreciate it. I’m trying to do more logic/science based vids. Cheers!
@@LegendsOfMonstera it really helps us viewers understand things a little better than just "oh hey! Look at this cool plant! Do what works for your house, not mine"
I keep my monstera variagata albo in my bathroom and I'm not misting! The room is already around 60-70 % humidity and after a shower or bath it's around 90% but it quickly evaporates. But I must admit it looks so cool when I see people mist on Instagram. Like you're really spoiling your plants. But now I know... it's not necessairy and I don't have to feel bad that I don't mist :)
Before misting my monstera adansonii, it would have yellowing leaves.
In fear of it dying, had to propogate new plants.
Now i mist morning and night daily,
Here in texas there is no humidity,
It is thriving.
I do it to my citrus trees and croton.
The croton loves the mists.
Love your misting plant video and the science behind doing it. You explained it so well and simply for me. We’ll done. Love the music added near the end when you mist or don’t mist. Cute!!! thanks a million for your expertise and sharing it. Looking forward to watching another of your videos. Have a nice day, from Chilly Ontario, Canada
You are absolutely awesome! Never heard anyone ever talk about when you should mist and when you just shouldn't and i feel like everyone just promotes it mindlessly because it works for them! Well i learned it the hard way, i couldn't understand why my calathea flamestar kept getting those ??burns?? all over the foliage because the conditions were perfect, until i realized that in my apartment, which is basically a cellar and extremely damp, the water i sprayed was just sitting on top and rotting the thin foliage ): ever since i stopped my plants are thriving. Great video!!
Thank you! I realized recently how this misting affects my plants indoors. I did noticed brownings on leaves. I stopped doing it often 😂
I know... it's so therapeutic haha
haha the dramatic music when misting
Not pretentious at all, very helpful and I was never sure, one way or the other. So thank you for the information, it's really appreciated
Aww thanks so much! Glad it was useful!
You are a real monstera doctor, have been watching a lot of videos on monsteras, nobody explained misting like you did. Need your help. I recently bought a monsters deliciosa with about 5 leaves as big as two feet long and a few leaves are small in size. The problem with it is that it is growing in a complete garden soil which I want to replace it and it is growing in 16 inches growing bag. My worry is that how to replace the entire soil without damaging the roots. Should I soak it in the water for a few hours and let the soil get washed away?
I really appreciate this approach to plants! I've always wanted to approach it more in a do no harm style mindset, but being a newbie, and having few scientific sources on things can make that difficult.
I wonder if, when in a high humidity environment, wiping off water droplets after an hour or so would help prevent the overgrowth?
Also do you have any info about pebble trays effectiveness on humidity?
If you have good air circulation, it doesn’t matter if the droplets stay around. Also, wiping away your droplets from misting probably negates a lot of the benefits you’re trying to gain from misting right? Unless you enjoy misting for therapeutic reasons 🤗, in which case just mist less. Pebble trays are effective but they require washing every once in awhile to avoid algae which will stink up your place (personal experience 😅).
The BEST explanation on this topic.
I keep a thermometer/hygrometer on my plant shelves. When the humidity gets low, such as during winter heating, I mist daily. In summer here in the southern US, it's quite humid and they don't need it. I avoid misting African Violets, Primulinas and their ilk. Also no misting for succulents. I keep a clip fan on the shelves as well.
That’s a totally reasonable approach. I don’t mist often but really find it enjoyable and therapeutic when I do. Happy 2020 Laura!
Interesting take on humidity. I don't worry about it myself I let my fish tanks worry about the humidity. Right now the humidity is apparently somewhere between 60 and 70%. I figure if anything that's a bit high as far as the house is concerned.
Thank you doc. With this information, I am at peace and I am sure my plants will grow healthier
Humans are basically houseplants with more complicated emotions. Love the video. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this video. The best explanation on To Mist or Not to Mist. I'm learning tons from you as you have a way of explaining things well and digestably. The diaper rash example was illuminating....thanks for using such a relatable illustration. 🙏
I live in the northern Europe in an apartment with so called machine assisted air circulation. In the winter the humidity dips below 15% due to the AC machine pushing in dry heated winter air. With a humifidier or two I can get it to raise maybe to around 35% but it means running them 24/7 which in my small apartment is not feasible since it's impossible to sleep having them running. I have one tropical plant that has very narrow delicate leaves and last winter half of the leaves browned almost completely. I didn't know then what was wrong but now I am pretty convinced I should have misted them regularly. Luckily the plant seems to still be alive so I will hope I can nurse it more back to life during summer and hopefully I can keep it in better shape the next winter.
i live near the water in san diego and my ornata seems to love not being touched at all. it has grown like a weed, While I have a calathea elliptica vittata that started dying with the same treatment. I have put a warm humidifier near my vittata that I only turn on in the early mornings before work and about 45 mins before bed when it is cold outside like 45-50 because I noticed it is much more sensitive to drops in humidity and lower temps than the ornata. I also, keep the vittata in an old 50-gallon fish tank with the humidifier and loosely cover it so the humidifier can work as a radiator overnight keeping it from getting too cold. I basically have all my tropical plants that are extremely sensitive to temp and lower humidities in this system and they have all thrived since. i never mist with a spray bottle anymore though because many plants had shown signs that they didn't like it even with distilled water.
The only time I mist nowadays is when I spray for pests.
Haahaa I love the scary moment at the end - I really enjoy how u explain and do not find it pretentious at all. It makes sense ;) I have been struggling with this so thank you 😊
Amazing video again. Thanks a lot for the information and clear examples
This was SOOOOO helpful you have no idea! My fiddle leaf fig came with some brown edges (looks like tear) but also some browning that is clearly not a tear. He has dark spots in the center of the leaf like the one you showed on a couple, and a few baby leaves that became wrinkled/folded looking but really dry to the touch/dark spots. what's the best way to help eliminate fungus or mold on plants? I have a small humidifier & I'm in Colorado, where the air is really dry so I've been misting a lot. I also have a moisture meter, which takes a lot of guessing out (thank goodness because the fiddle was wayyy to wet when he arrived) so I waited a week and a half or so before watering him, but now that you mention the dark center...Im wondering if that means I needed to wait longer? I made sure the moisture meter read on the low moisture end all the way through the soil/all areas before watering today. If he does have bacterial/fungal growth is there a specific regimen he should be on for a bit while he recovers? I watered him thoroughly like most people recommend with Fiddles but also made sure he wasn't sitting in water (he also didn't have much coming out of the bottom) which is probably good with this new info of moisture issues. You've been THE MOST helpful of all plant videos and articles, and I've seen/read A LOT!
I would love to hear your opinion on reverting abrogations on Monsteras and Pink Princesses. Is it true that once reverted for many leaves their will be no comeback etc. How to determine the signs and how to prune etc.
Hm I’ll try to do something on this at some point. I have a white knight that I can use as an example. Just have a few things and ideas on my plate before then. But variegation and light and management does get asked a lot so I should try to present my take on the topic at some point.
I don’t mist my plants. I don’t want to risk messing up my leaves, I have a lot of plants and I’m lazy lol. Plus my humidity without a humidifier is always in the 70-76% and mold would be a real issue. I do agree that if you have higher humidity, you definitely need that air circulation.
The dramatic music and you talking to yourself killed me 🤣🤣 amazing videos! Love your content 😁
I agree with you I live in a very humid state so I make sure I always have a fan on for circulation even in the winter and I don’t missed but I do give my plants a nice wiping them off and a nice little shower of their leaves once a month and I do aerate their soil by just poking around with a spoon so the roots get air.
I think a lot of people underestimate the importance of good circulation. I definitely did at the beginning. Thanks for watching and cheers!
Thanks for the video, all very logical points. I started out my plant journey with lithops / conophytum, so my plant shelves have air circulation fans. I just got my first few tropical plants, and I'm hoping those fans and my apartment humidity being 40% will help.
Lots of information to consider! Thank you!
Great video! Now I finally know why they have fans blowing in hot houses.😂 Thanks!
I LOVE the included medical contrast! As an X-ray student it’s giving me everything!
Thank you, very helpful. I’m getting a humidifier. 👍
Hi I am new to your channel I don’t know how somehow you popped up this is your first video that I came across I like it so I subscribed so nice to meet you.
Haha glad you found us! Hope you keep following along. Cheers!
The misting you show at the end was heavier than I expected. I have been using a much finer mist and a lot less water. Thoughts? Still problematic?
Such a great explanation. Thank you so much
Just joined your site. Impressed with your knowledge. If you have fungus gnats I use gnatrol and it took care of thrips, thank you.
I enjoy the doctor analogies, keep them up! I use fine mist bottle instead of a spray bottle. I live in Phoenix and we have very low humidity year-round. But, I also run my ceiling fan for air circulation. I just got a humidifier, so hopefully, this will let me get more tropical plants. I usually avoid them.
I agree that keeping aroids in Phoenix requires quite the effort. You should start with the ones that don’t need that much humidity.
What kind of doctor are you, if I may ask?
I’m a neonatologist
wouldn't it mean that just adding a fan to blow air on the plants would improve the air circulation?
I mist new growth that needs the extra push to unfurl. Southern Cali’s humidity is almost non existent sometimes 😅
Thank you it's a very informative talk👍
I do not most my monstera as it’s caused some of my new growth to rot while it’s developing so I stopped.
your variegated monstera is BEAUTIFUL omg. my dream plant 😭
Thank you
Hey, second year medical student here. I just wanted to ask how many plants I need to have to do well on STEP 1.
You want at least 210. The really ambitious ones aim for 250. Preferably mostly aroids. Don’t let the succulent options distract you. Good luck man 🌿🌿🌿
@@LegendsOfMonstera aww man. All I have are 18 different orchids and a monstera. What's a guy to do now?! Thanks for the words of wisdom XD
Step 1 of what?
Misting does many things
1) washes dust off leaves , enabling more light to enter , also dust is an obstruction to gaseous exchanges and stomatic function
2) plants have inbuilt mechanisms to determine the best period for growth , so that they utilise their resources with maximum efficiency . Moisture on leaves even if dries after a few minutes , gives the impression of rainfall and an increase in temporary humidity , the plant perceives this as a favourable seasonal change and activates growth .
3)Although it is the function of root to absorb water , in exceptional cases where this fails to take place , the plant does absorb water from leaves .
An example of this could be stem cuttings that are yet to develop roots , may benefit greatly from misting . Also young seedlings with small root systems can benefit from leaf absorption greatly. Even plants that have received a container transfer may have damaged roots and spraying water on leaves helps reduce stress as some water is undoubtedly absorbed , and it does make a difference .
From a technical stand point many propose that it is humidity that reduces transpiration , and while this is true , even in cases where the water evaporates within a few minutes of from leaves , yet still visible benefit can be seen . This shows that not only is beneficial by reducing transpiration but the water is actually absorbed from the leaves . 5 minutes of humidity increase would do little to prevent transpiration greatly , but yet still it causes benefit because there is absorption of water through leaves .
85% misted Water must evaporate from leaves within 5 hours , if you wish to mist daily . otherwise a weekly mist or a mist after two weeks would be more suitable if the water stays on leaves for extended period ( the case where 85% misted water fails to evaporate within 1 day , wipe it off with cloth or tissue paper gently ).
Hi! Newly subscribed from Louisiana! Fantastic video on the do's and don't's of misting! A++!!
Thanks for watching!!
I live in Manila Philippines. I know we have high humidity. Before I bought a humidifier my calatheas look lonely and browning on the edges of the leaves. My calatheas are located in a low light shaded area. Then a friend told me to buy a humidifier, and they’re leaves are still browning and die. Can you give me advice pls. Thank you
Great insights about plants' natural environment, thank you
You are most welcome and thanks so much for watching and following along =)
Mist the moss poles or moss so the areal roots stay viable (specially for plants intended for propagation) imo..
Hi doctor, there is something that I would like to ask, do humidity tray works well as humidifier?
How to overcome from wilting leaves for philodendron lemon lime?
Hi I misted my new monstera albo too much then saw the white leaves start to brown up, and I live in Jakarta and didn't understand it!!! I wish I had found your videos sooner. Ah well we learn the hard way. Have been holding back considerably and letting my fan on it more, the browning seems to have halted
They can be really nitpicking regarding the browning regardless of what we do or don’t do. Just experiment here and there, and then just don’t stress it and let them be lol
Great video ! What do you do to help when bacteria/fungus infection has started just as in the verrucosum photo ? At the moment my alocasias zebrina and stingray are starting to suffer from misting with not enough air flowing in my appartment and I believe it has a begining of infection :/ Any tips ? I stopped misting them
You can add a fungicide to your misting water
hey there, tks for another great video! question: when using a humidifier in a corner of a room very close to where my plants are, should i turn it off at night? or just keep going everyday, all day, i live in Seattle WA. summer here now :) thanks much
Really depends on your humidity level over there. Sometimes I just have mine on low all day or night if I feel things are a bit dry.
I'm like saving almost all of your vids about the Monstera Albo. How about a book/guide? 🤩🌿💚
Ok...so I am now rethinking my misting entirely.. :D
How did you get all this information? Are there any articles/books/blogs to read up on this?
I usually do a fine mist in the morning And then use a fan to help air circulation. Has anyone had any luck with this?
I mist mainly for the dust if nothing else ....we have a Dusty location and the leaves get really Dusty so heavy misting rinses off the dust ....and it is dry here so it has to help right?
Removing dust should help your plants capture more light so it’ll help that way for sure. Plus I’m sure it does help your overall humidity as the dust is probably bringing the humidity down.
Great video! What bugs did you get? What did u use to treat? Are the bugs gone now? Just curious 😁
I had a bad fungus gnat and also spider mite problem. Trying a combination of insecticides. Will keep you updated but seems to be working well so far!
I’m from philippines, can I do misting every morning?
You're a doctor, so you're making it complicated. Generally, if it is hot in the summer, you can mist during the day. Misting does not do that much because the water droplets will evaporate within an hour. Now if you're trying to keep it as a rain forest (misting frequently) then yes you can run into problems inside your home. Do you really need it? I'm in zone 5 and summers are humid so not really.
I just found your channel and i just love it💚. I will take the time to watch all your videos. And to be fair i am a mister🤗
Misting is very therapeutic to me too. Hard to stop haha.
@@LegendsOfMonstera right? I just can't stop. 😊🙄
😅I enjoy your humor.
Should you mist with tap water or rain water? Our tap water is very soft but i could still use rainwater. And can rainwater lead to algae growth in my mister and clog it?
I use tap water for everything. Not optimal but it's the easiest for me.
The humidity argument is kind of stupid to me. Lets do a little calculation:
In a 15m² Room and an assumed ceiling hight of 3m, at 24°C room temperature, you would need to evaporate *92mL* of water, to raise the humidity from 50% to 60% and to raise it further to 70% you'd need to evaporate *another 103mL*
I highly doubt that people are spraying that much water on their plants when they are misting...And the "localized" humidity increase through misting is a myth...the only way to achieve that would be with some sort of mini-greenhouse or terrarium setting around the plant. Otherwise the humidity will equalize throughout the room.
tl:dr if you want humidity, get a humidifier
When plants die from over watering , it’s not actually water that kills the plant , its the underground bacteria that increase to unhealthy amounts . This is why you let the top of the soil dry to produce a negative shift in moisture which produces stress killing lots of bacteria . But be careful to not stress the plant or if you let it stay dry it might deactivate growth perceiving it as a dry season .
For normal plants : water deeply then water immediately after top layer of soil becomes dry . You may continue to mist it daily even if the soil is wet and some water goes into it from the mist , it’s okay . The moisture period will be prolongued but the plant can take it .
For cacti ; water deeply , let the top soil dry and wait for 1-2 days before watering again . Mist only when you water the plants root system, if dust accumulated on it then you may mist it even if the soil is still wet .
In cases where temperature stays below 10C , let the top layer dry after deep watering and then let stay dry for two weeks before watering again .
Cool channel! Please keep at it :)
Great video!!! LOVE this and it is such great info:) I'm a mister hahaha! I love doing it sometimes I know its not good to mist too much but it helps me to relax and calm down for the day...I'm from Washington so our humidity is not too bad, but also not really high either:) Thank you for sharing!!
Haha I used to be a mister too, and I agree there's a relaxing mental element to it. I mist much less now mostly due to lack of time. The only plant that seems to be missing the misting is my calathea orbifolia.
Legends Of Monstera yes! She is one of my favorites❤️❤️❤️
Great video. How do you cure that brown spots and edges on your plants? If theres fungal or bacterial infections do you separate the plants with the desease? Thanks
I don't separate my plants because I have neither the energy nor the space lol. I would say spots are most commonly fungal infections.
@@LegendsOfMonstera thanks!!!
The misters. / mrs. joke was underappreciated
Thank you , good informations!!
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi,Jimmy
Nice to meet you New Subscriber here from AmmanJordan Middle East
I mist because this country is so hot
I mist not more than once a week
And very dry
Maybe the pesticide gave your plant some acid burn. You can use neem or peppermint mixed w oil or even release bugs that eat bugs- peace and jungle love 💚✌🏻🌴
Where are you located, I’m in the desert and trying to raise monstera I ah going to get a humidifier but idk how close to put it?
Anywhere nearby is fine
R. Tetrasperma is so prone to bacteria and fungul issues! Just bc its tropical doesn't mean it needs constant misting!
Hi. I have a cercestis mirabilis that's dying. I had to put him in water. How can I save him?
Ah I can’t say I can offer much help. I have one that’s just been hanging on for awhile. Not really sure what it wants or needs.
@@LegendsOfMonstera I understand.
New subscriber here. Great info!
Thanks so much! Hope to keep making some enjoyable and useful content :) Cheers!
In my area it’s very dry so I mist
In your #9 episode you went a plant swap near San Francisco. You ere shown a plant that I heard called lightning strike. I have been unable to find said plant anywhere else. I would greatly appreciate if you could identify it for me? They are at the time stamp @ 3:02. Thank you, liking you videos.
Hm I’ve never heard of a plant called lightning strike. The plants around that time stamp that I see are the philodendron Birkens, rhaphidophora tetrasperma, and jewel orchids. Are you referring to one of those?
How often do you mist?
I don't.
Glad I have a humidifier😁
I live in central Mississippi. 8 out of 10 days a year the humility is like 200% (joking its just really disgusting hot and humid) so I just do not mist or run humidifiers. Even in the winter... My plants do just fine without it. (thus far.)
Yeah I think you should be fine without humidity. You can probably even plant outdoors with overhead shade.
@@LegendsOfMonstera yes I plan on testing more plants outside this year on our new porch. We grow banana trees in the summer perfectly fine! So I know tropicals will do well.
If i mist my plant but have a fan on it, would that help? Lol
No that makes since... thanks!
I always think that misting my plants is good for cleaning them, I do it every couple of weeks to get the dust off them.
I've never thought about cleaning my leaves, though I know it's something people do.
@@LegendsOfMonstera maybe it's in my head! Or maybe I should clean my house more....
What do we mean when we say high or low humidity? I have a hygrometer in my house so I know what level the humidity is at, but what should I be aiming for?
You want it at least 60 for aroids. Anything lower than 50 would be considered pretty low. I consider 70 and above to be high, which is good and all but I start to feel it and I don’t like feeling humid 🤣
@@LegendsOfMonstera thanks so much for the reply! My humidity is usually above 65 (I live in England, it rains a lot) so that's great! This summer it got into the 80s when we had some thunder storms. I won't feel guilty that I haven't misted anything for a while then!
Doc, you are cute as a button...says a chronic mister🌿💕

Too wordy for me
what about the other three bioethical principles? plants deserve justice! 😉
Hahah I’ll try to tie those in at some point but they would seem a bit overly dramatic for this episode 🤣🤣
