I think the white princess is easier then the pink princess as they don't get their leaves stuck

19:20 that's wild because I recently found out that I have two Cebu blues by propagating wet sticks in pon. They came from a box that was roughly handled in the post and there was some rot going on. But yeah, I was able to do it with pon, and in Arizona 😁, Phoenix to be exact.

I grow about 30-40 different plants in a 4x4 grow tent, I grow them off of a single overhead led grow light. The light I use has a maximum power of 400 watts. I typically keep this light at about 50% power. I keep the conditions in my garage at about 60-70°F, and Wisconsin humidity is usually around 50-60%. I run my grow light 14 hours, and time it to be on from 6 pm to 8 am in order to save a little on my electric bill, and have lights on time still work with my schedule. This has the added benefit of using the extra heat during the colder hours. Most tents have outlets for exhaust ducting, so I also use a programmable fan that can be set to exhaust at different temps/humidity. Airflow is very important, they make perfect tent fans that will clip to the pole, and even oscillate. I use 3, one blowing directly on my light, one at floor level, and one in the middle. Using this setup my humidity averages 70-80% humidity, and about 80-82°F with lights on. And around whatever temp the garage is with them off. In my conditions, the least important part is the exhaust fan. I only find it necessary on especially hot days (Wisconsin can hit 100°F in summer) I have a 4 way hygrometer that monitors my house temp, outside temp, tent temp, and garage temp from my kitchen. I have had wonderful results, and with the proper setup it will more or less manage climate control itself. Just pop in once a day to water and check on things! The single overhead light creates different light levels, ranging from 500 ppfd relatively close, down to about 60 ppfd at floor level. Great video as usual, I recently found your channel and quite enjoy it! 😊 Hopefully this info is helpful to somebody!

Thank you so much for sharing this. 2024 October now and your information is still very educational. I'm considering putting my Anthurium in pon now. I'm gathering all information before I do so. Sending warm hugs from Malaysia 🌱🌿💚

I‘m so glad you mentioned syngonium in particular! I currently have an albo in pon that‘s VERY unruly and on a very ugly, very tall pole because I just kept trailing it up out of laziness. It has lost a fiew of its lower leaves, so now it basically looks like sh**, just a giant pole with a few leaves on it 🤣 I‘m gonna chop it up and plant the cuttings into the pot directly and hope for the best 😃

Actually I love all ruffled leaves!

We need more reviews on more common houseplants. They're common for a reason, classics.

Hey Memo, First off I just wanted to say that I love your videos and your energy! Second off: I might have some advice for the Ming (I've always called it the Ming Aralia, so realizing that it's not actually an Aralia was some new info for me!). I have had mine for about 2years and I got it as 3 rooted cuttings from my mom who has had hers for over 30yrs (it's over 6ft now. This is also proof, to me, that it's not a fussy plant because my mom would not have the patience and it is thriving in the Canadian prarries). I keep my Ming at ambient room humidity/temperature (20-34C and 50-70% humidity). I have found that it does not like direct light (I'm on the West Coast of Canada so pretty similar to the UK, I think) so it sits a few feet back from my southern facing window. It is potted in a terracotta pot with regular soil with extra perlite mixed in. In the summer I find I am watering it every two weeks or so. It does start with very fine roots so I lean more towards under watering vs over watering. I would be curious to see if anyone tries it in semi hydro. I also prune mine once a year and, oddly, this seems to encourage growth. Since last year the cut stems have given me 6in of new growth. It is definitely one of my lowest maintenance plants and I have not encountered any pest issues with it. I'm eager to see how you make out with yours!

I finally got a breverimosa a few weeks ago! I was so excited to get it but it had gotten hung up in transit for almost ten days! It looked so sad. The base ended up dying on me but I had cut off the top and it has rooted and is growing! It's super tiny but I still have it so I'm looking forward to it looking like yours some day! The melanobullata is on my wish list!! I also have the amphioxus and LOVE it!!

My first one I bought one last year in a 2 inch pot, it got root rot and dies. I just got a new one today, for way less money.

Ooh how does one encourage variegation?

I got a Wendlingeri the other day in a Surprise Anthurium box. I put it in semi hydro, but now I'm wondering if I should put it in soil mix? It's my first strap leaf anthurium.

12:15 There is also a large form of tetrasperma. It's not huge, but it gets leaves that are about as big as a face and with a lot more internal fenestration too. As for the whole genus, they're a mixed bunch. R. cryptantha and R. hayi don't mature into anything dramatically different, but R. korthalsii starts off shingling, like a pointier R. hayi, but then suddenly changes into a plant with large, divided leaves (fenestrations to the margins). Also, R. decursiva can get massive. Regarding the speed, I've found that it absolutely races when it's happy and then pauses with that fat end to the stem when it's not happy. I had to leave my old one on the other side of the world and I've just bought one again and it was labelled "Philodendron minima", which is just wrong on so many levels. A small Philodendron species would have to be named Philodendron minimum as it's a neuter genus (-on in Greek and -um in Latin are neuter endings ... -os and -us are masculine and -a is feminine). Also, no Philodendrons get splits that result from fenestration to the margin. A similar look (e.g. P. radiatum, P. mayoi) is the result of a leaf margin that runs in and out. Rhaphidophora is closely related to Monstera, Epipremnum and, funnily enough, Spathiphyllum, and shares the process of fenestration through programmed cell death with Monstera and Epipremnum.

so much gayness in that plant greenhouse

Welcome home! I feel your pain as I just got back from vacation too. Trying to get caught up on watering over 200 plants. Also I moved a ton of them indoor because of our heat and now I need to put them back out. 🥵. The variegated Pellionia repens is gorgeous. I have the regular one and would love to have the variegated one.

Welcome back Memo 👋 your new plants are beautiful, the variegated reopens is really gorgeous 😀🇨🇦

Welcome back Memo! I wanted to know where you got the skull tshirt, too!

It's wayyyy past time to see Hoya on your channel 😁 When you have a trellised Hoya and *force* it downward (say, to wrap a very long vine) there does indeed need to be enough loose vine so that it can adjust itself to growing upwards, or the plant will very likely "retire" it. Hanging, doing their own thing, won't have the same effect. It's free to find the light in its own way. Welcome back, and cheers from Iowa City 😊

Some Hoya will still grow pointing down you kind of have to just trial and error it, others will stop immediately, if it seems like it should trail, it usually does ok. You’ll know right away if you need to trellis

Am i a bad plant lover for not liking hoyas? 🫠🫠🫠 could be just me tho, they just seem… boring, sorry 😔

Very rare and super expensive here in Ontario Canada🇨🇦

I propped with lecca pebbles in semi hydro and it took me all summer to get 1 leaf -___-

It's always nice to see ya again 😍

I'm going through all your esmeraldense videos before buying one... I think there's a newer one, but the older one was a hoot! You were honing your craft. 😉💚😄

Hey bro, did you fall over and get stuck in a barbed wire fence? You ought to get someone to help you pull that wire out. Bits of wire, metal and junk sticking out of people's faces doesn't project a sense of self esteem or intelligence, so an improvement here would add to your cred. Have fun with your videos and plants !

You are a cool dude. Straight out of an epic Donald Martin comic strip character. You could use this as a promo. Nice plants.

Hi from the USA! I have a Hoya Sunrise and love it! I've been buying only Hoyas in the last half year.

Love your channel. Could you film your winter plant maintenance. Our plants will be exposed to colder and drier environment in our house in compared to the summer and spring temperatures.. how would you take care of that

I think it's stunning

Now I know I'm a sad plantoholic! I'm getting excited when YOU open your plant haul. Sigh! If I could only find more room without my husband going all nutsoid on me. Lovely to see you having fun Memo. 😀

The longifolia “China Bean” 😮 I was looking for a pic of a bigger plant but couldn’t find. I love it. Thanks so much Memo! 🥰

Hi ! Be carefull with the supposed hoya longifolia ! Friend of mine bought it on a website and it was a dischidia in reality ! The flowers make the différence... 😅

Yay so happy to see some Hoyas! What you need to look at is how the tendrils grow. If they are true trailers, they will grow downwards, but those that need a trellis or a janky stick are the ones that shoot 'up up and away' in search of something to grab hold of. I have one currently climbing the cord of the blinds and it's already over 2 metres high 🤦‍♀ My favourite starter trellis is 2 janky sticks on either side of the pot, with string woven between them. The hoyas love them, they cost next to nothing and actually look pretty cool.

I’ve seen both you and Emma from GoodGrowing mention that Pellionia is a terrarium plant recently, and I’m so confused because I have pulchra, and it’s possibly the easiest, least demanding plant I own. I’ve had it since February (winter for me), have kept it in all lighting and humidity conditions, propagated it many times, and it has never skipped a beat. And I picked up a big, full repens (not variegated, though) for a friend at a big box store about 6 weeks ago, and it’s also seemingly happy with relative neglect in ambient conditions. Granted, we’re just coming in to fall, and it has been fairly humid for much of that time, but we’ve had major fluctuations in humidity, even from day to day, and so far so good. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Great unboxing ! My prefered one is the marcgravia 😍 I had one (not the same species) in my terrarium but it died.

The spiral catcus is on my wish list. All the others were new to me. Cool plants Memo!

Good day Memo!!! I just love your videos, and energy.

Trying so hard to pay attention, but you are making me laugh.😂Love your plant tips and tricks big help.😀 I mostly go for plants I feel sorry for that need that extra but forgotten love. I only buy every other month. Small apartment so can get a few more to add to my now 30😀

Hi Memo, the Marcgravia is in fact a shingler and grows best attached to a surface. You received an awesome piece. Happy growing🙏

Hahaha the boobie cactus' name cracks me up everytime 🤣 Charmaine from Unplantparenthood has mastered the name 😅 I think it's like when I was a child and kept trying Apu's (from The Simpsons) last name. And till this day, I can still get the Nahasapeemapetilon rolling out like it's nothing 🤭

Welcome back, Memo. I just want to thank you for taking the time before your holiday to keep your community happy. I appreciate you, and I am sure we all do. <3

Welcome back Memo! We have missed you too 💚 I love the plant that had the soil pins in it. I can’t wait to see this one become a feral plant crawling around your conservatory. Also, the colors in this video are so satisfying. The saturation of dark greens, red undersides of the leaves, and orange of your shirt all complement each other so well.

Thanks for the info, I was super confused on what I was doing wrong. The funny thing is; it didn’t do this until I moved the plant away from the window and into a less direct sunlight area.

I particularly liked the spiral cactus and the pellionia - I have never seen them before. Actually, I didn´t know that something called pellionia existed😀 They really sent the plants in excellent condition and packing - it´s quite impressive 🙂

Emma at Good Growing sells t-shirts and sweatshirts with a skull and plants. That could be what people are looking for.

I love hoyas, and philodendrons, and this channel! ☺️ I actually bought hoya longifolia, the same plant as yours, but I have doubts about if it is a hoya. Because it looks a lot like dischidia parasitica, so I can't wait to flower it to see myself if it is in fact a hoya.

Love that 3D pot for the fussy piper

I love that orange colour on you; very autumnal!

I actually went and googled to see if 'Fukurokuryuzinboku' was a thing or if you were just messing with us😂

I love Hoya"s, don't get we wrong, but I don't grow them. Why? These are pest magnets. The moment I got rid of them, all (possible) bugs went with them. I grow mainly orchids and (too many) other tropical plants and when they went and treated all my plants, I've never had problems any more and that was over 25 years ago.
