I love your come-back to those that mock you. I can't believe they have the audacity to do so. 99% of your viewing devotees think you're the bee's knees and you've helped us no end. Thank you Jan. We think you're brilliant. 😊🙏👍
I loved your answer to the question about more and more men becoming plant daddies, I personally love collecting, propagating and caring for my plants because it is an unbiased hobby that doesn’t discriminate!! Regardless of your race, gender identity, religious background, upbringing, plant caring skill level or current situation… a plant will still grow (or die…) without any judgement 🪴 …unless it is my Purple Shamrock… lord knows she is a diva!! 😂
Haha ya! When guests come over, they usually think the plants in my house or outside, are my wife's. They get shocked when she says it's actually mine 😂
I'm cracking up at your answer to the what's missing in the plant community. I love that you aren't putting up with any bad manners or demanding viewers. I can't imagine how much time you'd spend messaging if people could just ask you the same questions day after day. Thanks for sharing your experience. Your plants are inspiring. And please pet Brad for me.
Thank you!! If i’d add it all up i have probably spent a full day just telling people what fertiliser I use :D it gets very boring eventually trust me :D that’s why I decided to make this channel, so I can answer questions more efficiently rather than 1-on-1 but some people aren’t happy they don’t get special treatment … :D
Hi Jan. You are my favorite TH-camr,not just because of your wonderful plants but your integrity and being real, which is rare in this world! I really appreciate everything that you do to share your knowledge with us,for free,and yet ppl will always find something to criticize about! Keep on being yourself!
Thank you :) criticism in itself isn’t bad I just wish people would learn to be constructive and nice about it and not just throw their opinions around like it’s facts when nobody asked for it :D but well 🤷🏻♂️ there will always be idiots but plenty of nice people to make up for it :) thanks for your nice comment :)
Good job, Jan!!! In my "golden years," I've finally realized you can't please everyone! If I please myself, those around benefit from my good disposition! You're a wonderful, caring person...PERIOD! Thank you for your time & knowledge. I've learned a lot from you, good & bad!!🤣😍💜
I love your answers/attitude/personality as much as I love your ‘mischievous boy smile’ & dancing plants. When your critics insist on going for you, just remind them that we’re all guilty if we grow a single plant indoors; there are no plants that are technically indoor plants…they all come from outside😆 As always, thanks for sharing your videos!
I love it when you get worked up, Jan. I hope more TH-camrs (in earth years) see you address incivility. The number of people who spend five minutes falling over themselves with apologies for falling out of love with a plant, so that they don't get roasted in comments, baffles me. Anyway, today I'm taking the inspiration I've gotten from you and am making my first moss poles. I terribly excited to watch these plants mature. Thanks for all the hard work. And keep your attitiude spicy when it's called for...!
Thank you for the direct statements regarding the trolls that think they have the right to criticize your content. As we say here where I live” mean people suck”. I love all of the knowledge and techniques you share with us. Strong work!
I find all your videos so informative and straight to the point. It's mind boggling to me that people have time or energy to criticize you or your information. Specially when you clearly state in all your videos this is "MY EXPERIENCE" . Well I appreciate all your hard work and time you put into sharing all this very useful info with us. You and your videos are AWESOME! Your plants are GORGEOUS and Brad is ADORABLE. Thank you
Thank you so much. Oh the people who want to cause drama don’t listen to what I have to say, they just listen to the parts they wanna hear to look for a justification to be rude 😅 that’s what they live for! Sad isn’t it :D
Jan, I always appreciate the time and EFFORT you put into these free videos you generously SHARE with the plant community for FREE. I think the most valuable information put out in this video was the wakeup call to manners, and humanity towards one another. I hope we can all keep these principles close as we interact on this platform, across all community members, and content creators. Wishing everyone here plant peace!💚
Thank you :) people basically just need to start treating people online like you would in real life. No chance these trolls would be as vocal if they wouldn’t be able to hide behind their screens :D
Since watching your channel I have started 6 moss poles, they are all doing fabulously because of the great advice you give. Growing plants is such a rewarding hobby. Looking forward to more great content, thank you. 😊
I recently dealt with thrips and had a hard time figuring out what was happening until they were pretty established. Your description of the pest being on a sleigh and eating their way down was perfect!
It's super lame that people expect you to be so accessible and their personal plant mentor through social media! You are already putting yourself out there and spending hours each day to provide us with valuable info. I'm glad you addressed this more people need to hear it.
Thanks :) unfortunately the people who need to hear it probably won’t watch my video, and definitely not all the way, but still felt the need to call it out :P
That was terrific mate, you know that or you wouldnt have posted it. We have to forgive the naive but I loved your rant. You are a very bright young man and sometimes I think you sell yourself short but I understand your caveats. Dismiss the haters man, its all they have. I watch and wait for your vids, you have taught me heaps.
Thanks Greg :) the ‘haters’ don’t even bother me - those are clearly trolls just looking out for attention so I was contemplating to not actually address it to not give them any of my time but felt like it also needs to be called out. What really gets me aren’t the ‘haters’ but people that are plain rude demanding & entitled. I just don’t know where they get that attitude from & wonder if they understand that we’re all just people ?! 🤷🏻♂️
I enjoy watching your content, sometimes when I do plant care myself or even when I am cooking or doing other chores. Thank you for your sensible approach to everything and all the entertaining moments 😊
You are hands down my favorite TH-camr. Love your personality and how honest and sincere you come across as. You remind me so much of my late best friend. He was witty, always had a quick comeback. Me a few days later or a week later and I would barely be thinking of something to say 🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to many, many more videos from you.
Thank you for sharing! I have been following your channel for the few months now and I really love it! In this video, I really liked how you addressed all questions. Keep posting educational and fun stuff and ignore demanding and rude people. Remember, there are many of us who truly appreciate your effort and time you put in to create these beautiful planty videos for us!
Echt spannend zu hören, mit was für Deppen du dich beschäftigen musst, selbst wenn es um so ein unschuldiges Thema wie Pflanzen geht. Nicht zu fassen! Ich hoffe, du widmest diesen Leuten weder Nerven noch Aufmerksamkeit. Ich selbst freue mich über wirklich jedes deiner Videos, darüber, dass deine Pflanzen so unfassbar schön gedeihen und über all das, was ich dazulernen kann :-) Danke dir, Jan
Danke :) ja will denen eigentlich garkeine aufmerksamkeit widmen aber wollte es trotzdem mal kurz ansprechen - it needed to be called out :P - danke :)
Love your videos - community lacking question - well done - ignore those people they’re not worth responding to There are many of us out here who value and appreciate your knowledge and information sharing
I absolutely love your videos!! I have grown my collection this past year and it has been the most pleasurable journey. Plants have such an incredible calming power.
I recently found this channel and since then have fallen in love with Jan and his knowledge. I have binge watched a large amount of his videos and continue to binge watch to see what I have missed out on. But this video has really irritated me by the stupidity in some of these peoples questions. Jan's channel has been out longer then i have been watching and I knew the answers to most of these questions without asking, so these people clearly haven't put in the time to educate themselves. And then there are the people that are clearly haters or just ignorant in realizing how rude their questions truly are. Jan, you handled these questions very well and I think it is safe to say that for each hater you come across by putting yourself out there, there are multiple handfuls of people that truly love what you are doing and appreciate all the work you put into your channel. ❤❤❤
I loved this video! Your honesty and openness. As a cat lady, I couldn’t wait for the “Brad section.” I happen to be fortunate, my cat child is an angel when it comes to plants. She does like to see what I’m doing, specially when I’m reporting and she sniffes the plants. 🥰 thank you again! This video made my day better 🤓 Blessings to you both 😘
Love that answer. A person can have any hobby they want and I love and learn so much from your channel. Its straight and to the point and I learn so much from you. You are so professional at explaining plants and their needs and health. I try to keep my plants on track like you do and wish I could find more anroids. And I am female so let people judge it just goes over my head and gone.
You know the first time when I find you in youtube I subscribe and until now I watched all the old and the new one I get notifications I watching, I appreciate all your afford and hard working you do to make these videos ❤ , i live in Tennessee and we have plants swap here and i suggest your videos to all friends when they have questions because I learned so much from you 😍 even I bought the same nutrition focus leave last summer and I finished it last week trying to buy again because I believe in you and you are the only one I trust, keep up your great work and share I love them 😍 thank you again Mary
Your meet-cute with Brad is adorable. I recently lost my dog and my surviving dog and I are still learning to live, so knowing how well Brad has coped and healed is heartening
Damn I love your spicy responses Jan! Some people act so rude or demanding and I wish I had your response power. Also the gender thing, so well worded! An inspiration, thank you ❤
I’ve definitely bought a plant because I’ve seen it on your channel, and I’ve added others to my wish list for the same reason. Because you showcase what a plant will become, which is often much more exciting than the baby/immature plant I see in marketplaces. And you erase the hype too, which is so nice! ❤
In regards to what's lacking in the plant community, I think you're absolutely right. People being judgemental and criticizing each other is definitely something that needs to change. Methods and environments are as diverse as people, which is how we all learn and grow. That being said, there are so many amazing people in the plant community that truly just want to share their love of the hobby with like minded others. Despite its pitfalls, I truly enjoy engaging with other planty people. I do hope the question about your plant getting root rot was more geared towards figuring out how it happened in order to avoid it, rather than people judging you or your methods! Root rot can happen in any environment that involves roots, moisture, bacteria and substrate. Be it organic or inorganic substrate. You may not even need substrate. Do air plants get root rot? Probably.
Thank you for all the work you do for us, so we have more chances to make less mistakes caring about our plants! I'm sorry that there are people who take all for granted and demand something from you, I do not get that and I think that is good that you do not tolerate that arrogance. I love to watch your videos, I started my own moss poles, we will see, if my plants will be happy with them :) Now there's winter in Poland, so the plants are not happiest, but I just have to wait and see :) I wish you all the best in 2023 (sorry for the delay) :)
Love your content have learnt heaps on plant care and love your approach of consistency but not perfection. Made my first 3 moss poles today using grow vertical poles thank you for all the content. Keep up the great videos
Thank you Jan for your perspective! You are awesome. By the way, my cats do not show any interest in my plants. Also, I live in Wyoming USA, dry climate and I have many avoids doing well.
You are wonderful. Thank you for being authentic and sharing all your awesome plant knowledge/experience with us! I feel for you having lost Max, I'm sorry your family went through that. Wishing you happiness. -Daniel
Since I’m probably one of only five Americans on Earth to get the reference, my favorite part of the video: “Not. Happy. Jan”. Great content, as usual. Keep it up and I look forward to your future stuff!
I'm in awe of your dedication to this channel and your plants. It has me wishing it were easy to move to Aus rn. Haha! Regarding what's lacking in the community, the issue of randoms harrassing creators in the comments for spoon feedings happens in every niche. Ignore and block are the best methods with those types of pests.
Don’t let planttube make you cynical babe! You are so fun, you’re really great at what you do! You’re not too hard on the eyes! 😉 but I can tell some of the experiences you’ve had online have had an effect on you. Continue being yourself! You’re great!
Thank you for sharing your personal experience and a bit more about yourself too! You handled those questions really well and this hobby is definitely for everyone and anyone who loves plants. The right question would have been: why more people are growing plants? It definitely brings me joy watching them grow every single day and the ever changing landscape is inspiring. I have upped my plant game with your tips for sure! And you should totally get an orchid, I would suggest a phalaenopsis Schilleriana, the mottled leaves are still a beautiful feature when not in flowers. And the flowers are gorgeous and lightly scented 🌸 thanks again, it was a fun video!
Love you so much Jan, love your opinions, values, and frame of mind on things ❤ I don’t know quite what I should do with my moss poles, they’re only 12-18 inches tall, I couldn’t put a full water bottle ….. wait a sec, what about 1/3 full… hmm Oh I’m so sorry for yours and Brads loss 😢 I see why you watch him so closely when on your patio
Because you are an influencer I was glad to hear your reservations regarding plastic backed plant poles. I not only think plastic is ugly, but am concerned with its continued over use and its effects on our environment. So far I have not heard any utuber express any concerns regarding this. When are we going to discourage its use instead of finding new ones? I am definately interested in someway to keep moss poles moist longer. I know you will circulate whatever you find that is also eco friendly.
Thank you Jan For this video n others videos ! I love your honesty n no nonsense approach to this amazing hobby ! I totally resonate with The tip on plants somehow warding off pests better in The Open even if my Open is like your Open - a verandah ! The natural elements like wind n Rain. N i keep washing The leaves Of my plants to keep them happy n Healthy ! Keep Up The great work n Thanks again 🎉
I love your plants. I have not seen plants that have done so well anywhere else. I also want to say I am more content with the plants I have now and seeing their growth than getting more plants. Seeing your plants has made me realize its the ones you have and take care of that is important not owning more plants you can't afford. 🙂
Hi Jan, appreciate your honesty with people that are giving you a hard time, good on you. I appreciate your content and get inspired with how you grow your plants. I’m the same with you, I like to show my plant so I want them to be healthy and look good.
Hallo Jan, ich war überrascht ein Q&A Video zu sehen. Ich schaue nicht so oft auf die Community Seite😄. Vlt könntest irgendwie darauf hinweisen das wieder ein Q&A ansteht. Wie dem auch sei, ich kann immer was aus deinen Videos mitnehmen. Danke für deine Mühe und dein Engagement.👍
Silver lining in dealing with annoying people online is that it isn't unique to the plant community. It just seems to be a general internet thing where crazy people don't see content creators as regular human beings and think they can bully them or harass them like they're a service worker. So it's not a reflection on Jan or the plant community overall. The majority of people here are eager to learn about plants and to make a positive experience for other indoor plant fans.
I enjoy all your videos and I look forward to seeing your next content. My collection has increased and one day hopefully they will look as beautiful as your collection.❤Brad is a real show stopper…he is gorgeous.
A squirt pistol or similar (your mist bottle on stream) can be helpful in teaching cats to stay away from the plants and that being near a plant isn’t fun anymore. Of course you cannot do this all the time but it can begin reinforcing a positive behavior.
Jan, your TH-cam channel is my favorite. When I can’t sit down and watch the entirety of your informative videos I often put my ear plugs in and listen to you while doing house chores. Your schedule is most likely extremely busy but have you given any thought to a plant podcast, maybe with guest speakers (your plant community friends)? I would enjoy hearing more content from you.
Ciao from Tuscany: Love the videos, especially the question and answer ones...plant lovers anywhere in the world are all on the same page...we love our plants, do our best for them, and worry about them just like children...you have certainly added to the wealth of knowledge available about house plants, especially the ones that might need a bit more attention there in Sydney. You have pretty much the same conditions that we have here in Italy...very hot summers, and short but sometimes intense winters..it's the changing light that presents a challenge...but we keep trying. Please keep up the wonderful work...very much enjoyed...and a big hug to Brad...loved your comment about having 7 of them if you could...we have 3 here at the house, and 6 more down in the village...all just wandering folk that found us, ,loved the food, and stayed...and you are right...above 2, it really doesn't matter, as the work is the same in the long run...and the creatures have a family to take care of them. Stay safe, and we look forward to the next chapter!
On the conversation of orchids, I highly recommend looking into different orchid species. My favorites are oncidiums and miltoniopsis however cattleyas and dendrobiums are quite popular as well. They come in all shapes sizes and condition requirements- it's a whole new plant world!
Firstly, Thankyou for providing us with your knowledge and experience. We can only build upon our knowledge by listening to others experiences. I have been binge watching your videos after killing every monstera in my care and I feel like together with what I have learnt and what I have heard from you and others I ( a new monstera) might have a chance! I am so terribly sorry that there are many others that are greedy, selfish and rude. I know that is can be disheartening and a big kick to stomach when others treat you in this way, but for every one of the negative ppl there is at minimum 2 positive ppl in their place. Your story of adopting Brad truly warmed my heart and the love you have for him is very evident. We now have 4 cats in our family and my husband and I always say we don’t choose cats, they choose us. We went to look at one cat (a pirate kitty who was a little older and needed a home) and left with an extra simply because she farted on my husband- he loved her since then. Turns out she had tummy issues that were solved relatively quickly at the vets, but i think she knew we would take good care of her and love her. Thank you Jan and Brad and I hope 2023 is a great one for you both!
Monstera Peru is relatively new on the market and it's hard to find big plants. I have a lot of it but they are few months old now. But I found a guy on TH-cam who has his Monstera Peru climbing all over the walls in his house. This is enough for me to know this plant can grow really big. Not very likely to grow bigger leafs if you aim at this. But yes, I believe it can take over your house if you can give it enough light and water. I can't wait to see my Monstera Peru plants get bigger. It puts out new growth even in the middle of winter. It's not the fastest grower but it's steady grower. You can tell is my favorite.
First I can't believe you get harassed for helping us care for our plants.I'm very sorry this happens to you. Then I want to say I am very grateful you take your time to teach and show us what you do to care for our plants.I think we all want and look forward to getting those big leaves on some of our plants. My fav. is the basic green monstera.Then the sp Columbia since I saw it on Charmaine's channel. With your example to follow I can have confidence in doing this. Thank you very much for taking your time to do this and I love looking at your big leaves.Take care and be safe from a 62year old grandma just starting to collect plants I love. After 24 years of taking care of people with mental illness and/or developmental disabilities and then becoming disabled myself, I needed something to care for and found that in my new friends/plants.
Jan... I thank you for sharing stories about Brad's life and his family. Now I can understand about the inner bond between you and Brad. Brad can feel that you really love him. Both of you look so happy. We love Brad too...😻😻😊 When I looked at the question list below, I didn't see Marisa's question that I liked too. But...when I watched your video...I was surprised! because you answered it. Jan..Thank you...😊.. I'm currently having a tiring period in understanding my plants which I started 6 months ago. I have a lot of new things to do. Previously I lived in an area with hot temperatur, while now I am in a cold area ( I live around the foot of Mount Merbabu, Central Java) so that my plants that used to grow in hot area, experienced a schock here. That's right, Jan... I'm starting to pay attention to the origin of the plants being raised. For example.... I once ever bought plants that were sold at the market near my house ( only some of them grew well because the plants were raised in the area near the top of Mount Merbabu.) During staying here, I often get gifts....beautiful plants from my neighbors and relatives The plants are easy to look after because they used to grow here. Yesterday morning I and my brother went out to a nursery ( which is quiet far from my house) to buy planting medium, pots, compost and new plants (because philo and monstera stock ran out, I bought 3 pothos and 1 Jade plant). I hope they can grow well. (Jan... It's 01.10 am right now (still raining). I just finished watching your video because since the afternoon ( 8 yours ago) when you uploaded this video. It was raining so heavily accompanied by lightnings. The internet signal suddenly stopped. I was only able to start watching your video again at 9.30 pm....and then the signal stopped again. Jan...If I can't immediately join in writing a comment, It's ceritain there isn't internet signal here. Because I live in an area like this, having opportunity to watch your video (that I need the most) is a Great Joy!!... This feeling may not be felt by others who can have good internet signal. Jan... I really like this Q&A video...very inspiring for me. Jan...Thank you so much....🙏🥰💚 I still can't believe...philo, monstera, pothos, syngonium, alocasia, anthurium grow here in my yard...and in my heart❤️😊...
Jan.... This morning the clouds are still thick up in the sky. Maybe it will rain again. The air is so cold here. The atmosphere looks somber. I look forward to watching your new shorts video that can make me smile again.. Jan, Thank you...Cheers!..🥰💚
Jan....Although the gray clouds are still visible in the sky, the sun is shining brightly. Right now I'm in my yard. I see all my plants are happy to welcome the warmth of the morning sun. Today I and my brother will be so busy looking after our tomato plants that need repotting ( need larger size of polybags). We grow them organically. I look forward to watching your new shorts video. Jan....Thank you so much for everything..😊.. I like your great ideas. You are so inspiring!...👍🥰💚😊
I really enjoy your channel. I get fungus gnats from time to time. I use mosquito bits granules. I put them in my moss poles and it’s a slow process, but I have found great success with that. I buy them off amazon. Thank you for your videos. I have been staking up my plants all wrong for years since I’ve watched your video I now have all my plants on moss poles😁
Hi Jan, I really like your Q and A videos. You are so upfront and to the point ( it’s refreshing) . I’ve been considering pole plants for myself. ( I haven’t been able to because of too much travel). After watching your videos , I’m very inspired to start with indoor poles. Thanks for inspiring me!! Your plants and Brad are beautiful!
Great video! I have quite a few plants and had a cat, Kittykat, not a very original name, who was loved alone. She is missed very much. She never really showed any interest in the plants. She would occasionally bat at the hanging leaves of a Ponytail Palm, but that was all. So I think that you are right about the behaviors of the cats and they will either ignore the plants or have to be kept away from them for their own good! Once again I really appreciate your videos. Hopefully you'll keep doing more of them.
You are one of my plants bff in my head! Lol. Don't even waste your energy on the haters. You know you've made it when you have haters! Thank you for excellent and real content. No gimmicks and trickery on this channel! Please don't stop and continue to be my plant bff! 🤣🤣💕🤭
Great video as usual Jan! The “hate” type thing you get in the hobby, in my experience its endemic in all hobbies! People will be people eh? No matter what they get into! Your videos have helped me loads :)
Thanks :) Oh for sure! Suppose we are quite lucky, the plant community would be a walk in the park to navigate compared to fashion, food & political commentary !! But rude behavious is still never acceptable !
Thank you for this video! I love your content and attitude towards plants, it is all so helpful, realistic and laid back. But my favourite part of this video was how much your face lit up when you talked about that handsome stud muffin brad. Thanks for sharing a bit more about him too!
Oh I love brad’s story, I also have 2 ginger cats and fortunately they are now not interested in the plants. I do keep an eye on them to make sure they are not eating any plants. My cats are also rescues. I think that’s the best way to get them if you want 7 cats. My limit is 3 cats for the size of my house.
Oh, little detail. I think if you chop Monstera Peru it will not grow as fast. I feel it's better to leave it alone to grow out of control and when it gets wild prune it for better looks. If you chop it often it will take a long time before it puts new growth. The vines I didn't chop are growing and put out new leafs readily while the ones I chopped took months before they put out new growth. That's my 50 cent ot this plant.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you mentioned the ‘black and white’ thing in this community. It’s insane when you post some thing and then there will be some comments saying ‘oh you should do this this, not that that’ or ‘the correct way is …’. I’m like, there isn’t just ONE way of doing things, especially for living organisms like plants. 😅
Love your teachings when it comes to your experience as growing your plants and always making clear of your location and conditions. I would like to know if you can give a tutorial on the moss poles that have plastic in the back. They are way too expensive in the USA and probably you can give us ideas and a tutorial on these half moon poles. Thanks and Happy New year to you and your family 😉
Hey, i get mine grow @grow.vertical on instagram. But it’s basically just a sheet of plastic & a metal grid put together, you should be anle to DIY that :) just be creative, there are no right or wrongs
Yay, you speak your mind hun, well done, very admirable, don’t let them get to you. Your advice and time is precious, especially for me!! Love your content and I thank you for EVERYTHING.. I’ve learnt so much from you. Thank you from Shirley… dreary uk..
I always wondered whether Brad was a plant chomper! I was afraid to buy anything that was toxic to my Girls (one is a chomper) but you have inspired me! I bought my first Monstera and am going to follow your tips to grow her huge! But I will be keeping her separated from the cats just in case :) thank you!
Hey Jan, just wanted to say thank you for all of your video's! Really love them and appreciate all your tips, your experience and your time that goes into it. I have been watching all day 😁 Pet brad for me 😊
Hi Jan :) A plant cross I would love to see is a silver sword with a gloriosum.....SS with veining!!!! I got my Luxurians when I got the El Choco...and El Choco is at the top of the I love this one so much meter :)....It will be nice to see how well it does for you in the future when you feel it is time :)....yes begonias are lovely....I grow many....some easy and some not, but all so so pretty....I agree with the 7 cats....I live with 3 and would love to have more...but rent too....well I am glad you were happy to share more with us today.....and thanks for bringing so much joy and happiness to our lives....and so so happy your happy :)...
I love your come-back to those that mock you. I can't believe they have the audacity to do so. 99% of your viewing devotees think you're the bee's knees and you've helped us no end. Thank you Jan. We think you're brilliant. 😊🙏👍
I loved your answer to the question about more and more men becoming plant daddies, I personally love collecting, propagating and caring for my plants because it is an unbiased hobby that doesn’t discriminate!! Regardless of your race, gender identity, religious background, upbringing, plant caring skill level or current situation… a plant will still grow (or die…) without any judgement 🪴 …unless it is my Purple Shamrock… lord knows she is a diva!! 😂
Well said !!! :) and your oxalis probably just wants more light :)
Haha ya! When guests come over, they usually think the plants in my house or outside, are my wife's. They get shocked when she says it's actually mine 😂
I'm cracking up at your answer to the what's missing in the plant community. I love that you aren't putting up with any bad manners or demanding viewers. I can't imagine how much time you'd spend messaging if people could just ask you the same questions day after day. Thanks for sharing your experience. Your plants are inspiring. And please pet Brad for me.
Thank you!! If i’d add it all up i have probably spent a full day just telling people what fertiliser I use :D it gets very boring eventually trust me :D that’s why I decided to make this channel, so I can answer questions more efficiently rather than 1-on-1 but some people aren’t happy they don’t get special treatment … :D
Hi Jan. You are my favorite TH-camr,not just because of your wonderful plants but your integrity and being real, which is rare in this world! I really appreciate everything that you do to share your knowledge with us,for free,and yet ppl will always find something to criticize about! Keep on being yourself!
Thank you :) criticism in itself isn’t bad I just wish people would learn to be constructive and nice about it and not just throw their opinions around like it’s facts when nobody asked for it :D but well 🤷🏻♂️ there will always be idiots but plenty of nice people to make up for it :) thanks for your nice comment :)
👌🙌👏🫶
Good job, Jan!!! In my "golden years," I've finally realized you can't please everyone! If I please myself, those around benefit from my good disposition! You're a wonderful, caring person...PERIOD! Thank you for your time & knowledge. I've learned a lot from you, good & bad!!🤣😍💜
Thank you Michele :)
I love your answers/attitude/personality as much as I love your ‘mischievous boy smile’ & dancing plants. When your critics insist on going for you, just remind them that we’re all guilty if we grow a single plant indoors; there are no plants that are technically indoor plants…they all come from outside😆 As always, thanks for sharing your videos!
He’s got alot going for him 😀 he’d make some guy super happy 🌱
Thank you :)
I love it when you get worked up, Jan. I hope more TH-camrs (in earth years) see you address incivility. The number of people who spend five minutes falling over themselves with apologies for falling out of love with a plant, so that they don't get roasted in comments, baffles me.
Anyway, today I'm taking the inspiration I've gotten from you and am making my first moss poles. I terribly excited to watch these plants mature. Thanks for all the hard work. And keep your attitiude spicy when it's called for...!
Thank you & happy growing :)
Amen!!!! Unhappy people will always be unhappy
Thank you for the direct statements regarding the trolls that think they have the right to criticize your content. As we say here where I live” mean people suck”. I love all of the knowledge and techniques you share with us. Strong work!
Thanks Kathryn :)
I find all your videos so informative and straight to the point. It's mind boggling to me that people have time or energy to criticize you or your information. Specially when you clearly state in all your videos this is "MY EXPERIENCE" . Well I appreciate all your hard work and time you put into sharing all this very useful info with us. You and your videos are AWESOME! Your plants are GORGEOUS and Brad is ADORABLE. Thank you
Thank you so much. Oh the people who want to cause drama don’t listen to what I have to say, they just listen to the parts they wanna hear to look for a justification to be rude 😅 that’s what they live for! Sad isn’t it :D
Jan, I always appreciate the time and EFFORT you put into these free videos you generously SHARE with the plant community for FREE. I think the most valuable information put out in this video was the wakeup call to manners, and humanity towards one another. I hope we can all keep these principles close as we interact on this platform, across all community members, and content creators. Wishing everyone here plant peace!💚
Thank you :) people basically just need to start treating people online like you would in real life. No chance these trolls would be as vocal if they wouldn’t be able to hide behind their screens :D
Nothing but respect to you and Brad. Thank you for your time. I so enjoy you two and your amazing plants!
Since watching your channel I have started 6 moss poles, they are all doing fabulously because of the great advice you give. Growing plants is such a rewarding hobby.
Looking forward to more great content, thank you. 😊
That’s great to hear :)
I recently dealt with thrips and had a hard time figuring out what was happening until they were pretty established. Your description of the pest being on a sleigh and eating their way down was perfect!
It's super lame that people expect you to be so accessible and their personal plant mentor through social media! You are already putting yourself out there and spending hours each day to provide us with valuable info. I'm glad you addressed this more people need to hear it.
Thanks :) unfortunately the people who need to hear it probably won’t watch my video, and definitely not all the way, but still felt the need to call it out :P
That was terrific mate, you know that or you wouldnt have posted it.
We have to forgive the naive but I loved your rant. You are a very bright young man and sometimes I think you sell yourself short but I understand your caveats. Dismiss the haters man, its all they have.
I watch and wait for your vids, you have taught me heaps.
Thanks Greg :) the ‘haters’ don’t even bother me - those are clearly trolls just looking out for attention so I was contemplating to not actually address it to not give them any of my time but felt like it also needs to be called out. What really gets me aren’t the ‘haters’ but people that are plain rude demanding & entitled. I just don’t know where they get that attitude from & wonder if they understand that we’re all just people ?! 🤷🏻♂️
I enjoy watching your content, sometimes when I do plant care myself or even when I am cooking or doing other chores. Thank you for your sensible approach to everything and all the entertaining moments 😊
Thanks so much :)
You are hands down my favorite TH-camr. Love your personality and how honest and sincere you come across as. You remind me so much of my late best friend. He was witty, always had a quick comeback. Me a few days later or a week later and I would barely be thinking of something to say 🤣🤣🤣 looking forward to many, many more videos from you.
Thank you 🙂🙂
Thank you for sharing! I have been following your channel for the few months now and I really love it! In this video, I really liked how you addressed all questions. Keep posting educational and fun stuff and ignore demanding and rude people. Remember, there are many of us who truly appreciate your effort and time you put in to create these beautiful planty videos for us!
Thanks :)!
Echt spannend zu hören, mit was für Deppen du dich beschäftigen musst, selbst wenn es um so ein unschuldiges Thema wie Pflanzen geht. Nicht zu fassen! Ich hoffe, du widmest diesen Leuten weder Nerven noch Aufmerksamkeit. Ich selbst freue mich über wirklich jedes deiner Videos, darüber, dass deine Pflanzen so unfassbar schön gedeihen und über all das, was ich dazulernen kann :-) Danke dir, Jan
Danke :) ja will denen eigentlich garkeine aufmerksamkeit widmen aber wollte es trotzdem mal kurz ansprechen - it needed to be called out :P - danke :)
Love your videos - community lacking question - well done - ignore those people they’re not worth responding to
There are many of us out here who value and appreciate your knowledge and information sharing
Thank you :) and those are the ppl that motivate me to keep doing it :) and luckily they way outweigh the idiots yay :)
I absolutely love your videos!! I have grown my collection this past year and it has been the most pleasurable journey. Plants have such an incredible calming power.
Thank you & happy growing :)
I recently found this channel and since then have fallen in love with Jan and his knowledge. I have binge watched a large amount of his videos and continue to binge watch to see what I have missed out on. But this video has really irritated me by the stupidity in some of these peoples questions. Jan's channel has been out longer then i have been watching and I knew the answers to most of these questions without asking, so these people clearly haven't put in the time to educate themselves. And then there are the people that are clearly haters or just ignorant in realizing how rude their questions truly are. Jan, you handled these questions very well and I think it is safe to say that for each hater you come across by putting yourself out there, there are multiple handfuls of people that truly love what you are doing and appreciate all the work you put into your channel.
❤❤❤
I loved this video! Your honesty and openness. As a cat lady, I couldn’t wait for the “Brad section.” I happen to be fortunate, my cat child is an angel when it comes to plants. She does like to see what I’m doing, specially when I’m reporting and she sniffes the plants. 🥰 thank you again! This video made my day better 🤓 Blessings to you both 😘
Thank you Vivi :)
Sorry about all the typos!!! 🫣 xoxo
Love that answer. A person can have any hobby they want and I love and learn so much from your channel. Its straight and to the point and I learn so much from you. You are so professional at explaining plants and their needs and health. I try to keep my plants on track like you do and wish I could find more anroids. And I am female so let people judge it just goes over my head and gone.
Thank you :)
Thank for taking the time to provide so much informative, quality content.
Thank you so much for your time. I really appreciate the positive energy and in depth information.
Thanks :)
You know the first time when I find you in youtube I subscribe and until now I watched all the old and the new one I get notifications I watching, I appreciate all your afford and hard working you do to make these videos ❤ , i live in Tennessee and we have plants swap here and i suggest your videos to all friends when they have questions because I learned so much from you 😍 even I bought the same nutrition focus leave last summer and I finished it last week trying to buy again because I believe in you and you are the only one I trust, keep up your great work and share I love them 😍 thank you again Mary
Thank you so much :)
Your meet-cute with Brad is adorable. I recently lost my dog and my surviving dog and I are still learning to live, so knowing how well Brad has coped and healed is heartening
I’m sorry to hear :( thanks for your nice comment :)
Nicely worded answers. Loved the attitude. Respect for your intelligence and your genuineness. Don't change! :)
Thank you :) very kind of you :)
I may have cheered out loud at some of these answers 🤣 so great. Thank you for making this video.
Damn I love your spicy responses Jan! Some people act so rude or demanding and I wish I had your response power. Also the gender thing, so well worded! An inspiration, thank you ❤
Thanks Roos :) we all have the power to respond and stand up for outselves :) it’s a skill that requires practicing though :) you got this !!! 💚
I’ve definitely bought a plant because I’ve seen it on your channel, and I’ve added others to my wish list for the same reason. Because you showcase what a plant will become, which is often much more exciting than the baby/immature plant I see in marketplaces. And you erase the hype too, which is so nice! ❤
Thank you :)
In regards to what's lacking in the plant community, I think you're absolutely right. People being judgemental and criticizing each other is definitely something that needs to change. Methods and environments are as diverse as people, which is how we all learn and grow. That being said, there are so many amazing people in the plant community that truly just want to share their love of the hobby with like minded others. Despite its pitfalls, I truly enjoy engaging with other planty people. I do hope the question about your plant getting root rot was more geared towards figuring out how it happened in order to avoid it, rather than people judging you or your methods! Root rot can happen in any environment that involves roots, moisture, bacteria and substrate. Be it organic or inorganic substrate. You may not even need substrate. Do air plants get root rot? Probably.
Thank you for all the work you do for us, so we have more chances to make less mistakes caring about our plants! I'm sorry that there are people who take all for granted and demand something from you, I do not get that and I think that is good that you do not tolerate that arrogance. I love to watch your videos, I started my own moss poles, we will see, if my plants will be happy with them :) Now there's winter in Poland, so the plants are not happiest, but I just have to wait and see :) I wish you all the best in 2023 (sorry for the delay) :)
Hey & HNY :) thanks for your support :)
Love your content have learnt heaps on plant care and love your approach of consistency but not perfection. Made my first 3 moss poles today using grow vertical poles thank you for all the content. Keep up the great videos
Thank you both!! ❤
Our pleasure!:)
Appreciate your transparency. I truly am inspired by your plant content.
14:00 - You getting excited about Verrucosum hybrids was so cute haha
Thank you Jan for your perspective! You are awesome. By the way, my cats do not show any interest in my plants. Also, I live in Wyoming USA, dry climate and I have many avoids doing well.
Thanks :)
You are wonderful. Thank you for being authentic and sharing all your awesome plant knowledge/experience with us! I feel for you having lost Max, I'm sorry your family went through that. Wishing you happiness. -Daniel
Thank you:)
at 25:00 in, PERIOD to all of it! :D I love it Jan
Since I’m probably one of only five Americans on Earth to get the reference, my favorite part of the video: “Not. Happy. Jan”.
Great content, as usual. Keep it up and I look forward to your future stuff!
Haha i wondered if anyonr would get that reference :D thanks :)
I'm in awe of your dedication to this channel and your plants. It has me wishing it were easy to move to Aus rn. Haha! Regarding what's lacking in the community, the issue of randoms harrassing creators in the comments for spoon feedings happens in every niche. Ignore and block are the best methods with those types of pests.
Thank you :)
This video tapped into a lot of emotions 😅. My fave part was about your sweet Brad
Don’t let planttube make you cynical babe! You are so fun, you’re really great at what you do! You’re not too hard on the eyes! 😉 but I can tell some of the experiences you’ve had online have had an effect on you. Continue being yourself! You’re great!
Oh I was cynical before youtube 😅😅thanks :)!
Oh my gosh! Loving your banana plant. It is stunning! Thanks for all your hard work educating and sharing. I appreciate you.
Stay Gold! Keep doing you and dont let the plant drama infiltrate your channel and negativity. Love your channel and will continue to support you
Your attitude is great!
Thanks :)
I love this kind of video. Very true, kind and honest.
Thanks :)
Thank you for sharing your personal experience and a bit more about yourself too!
You handled those questions really well and this hobby is definitely for everyone and anyone who loves plants. The right question would have been: why more people are growing plants?
It definitely brings me joy watching them grow every single day and the ever changing landscape is inspiring. I have upped my plant game with your tips for sure! And you should totally get an orchid, I would suggest a phalaenopsis Schilleriana, the mottled leaves are still a beautiful feature when not in flowers. And the flowers are gorgeous and lightly scented 🌸 thanks again, it was a fun video!
Thank you Sunny :)
Love your passion
Thanks :)
Good questions and great bold answers ,👍
💚☘️🌱🌵💚
Love you so much Jan, love your opinions, values, and frame of mind on things ❤
I don’t know quite what I should do with my moss poles, they’re only 12-18 inches tall, I couldn’t put a full water bottle ….. wait a sec, what about 1/3 full… hmm
Oh I’m so sorry for yours and Brads loss 😢 I see why you watch him so closely when on your patio
Thank you :)
Because you are an influencer I was glad to hear your reservations regarding plastic backed plant poles. I not only think plastic is ugly, but am concerned with its continued over use and its effects on our environment. So far I have not heard any utuber express any concerns regarding this. When are we going to discourage its use instead of finding new ones? I am definately interested in someway to keep moss poles moist longer. I know you will circulate whatever you find that is also eco friendly.
The grow vertical poles I sometimes used are made from recycled plastics so that might be a good alternative for you ?:)
Thank you Jan For this video n others videos ! I love your honesty n no nonsense approach to this amazing hobby ! I totally resonate with The tip on plants somehow warding off pests better in The Open even if my Open is like your Open - a verandah ! The natural elements like wind n Rain. N i keep washing The leaves Of my plants to keep them happy n Healthy ! Keep Up The great work n Thanks again 🎉
Thanks :)
I love your plants. I have not seen plants that have done so well anywhere else. I also want to say I am more content with the plants I have now and seeing their growth than getting more plants. Seeing your plants has made me realize its the ones you have and take care of that is important not owning more plants you can't afford. 🙂
Hi Jan, appreciate your honesty with people that are giving you a hard time, good on you. I appreciate your content and get inspired with how you grow your plants. I’m the same with you, I like to show my plant so I want them to be healthy and look good.
Hallo Jan, ich war überrascht ein Q&A Video zu sehen. Ich schaue nicht so oft auf die Community Seite😄. Vlt könntest irgendwie darauf hinweisen das wieder ein Q&A ansteht. Wie dem auch sei, ich kann immer was aus deinen Videos mitnehmen. Danke für deine Mühe und dein Engagement.👍
Danke :)
Silver lining in dealing with annoying people online is that it isn't unique to the plant community. It just seems to be a general internet thing where crazy people don't see content creators as regular human beings and think they can bully them or harass them like they're a service worker. So it's not a reflection on Jan or the plant community overall. The majority of people here are eager to learn about plants and to make a positive experience for other indoor plant fans.
Oh totally! I reckon outside the plant community it would be much worse :P and yes, they only represent a small % fortunately :)
I enjoy all your videos and I look forward to seeing your next content. My collection has increased and one day hopefully they will look as beautiful as your collection.❤Brad is a real show stopper…he is gorgeous.
Thanks from both of us :)
A squirt pistol or similar (your mist bottle on stream) can be helpful in teaching cats to stay away from the plants and that being near a plant isn’t fun anymore. Of course you cannot do this all the time but it can begin reinforcing a positive behavior.
You have definitely inspired my collection of aroids and their care! All the information you provide is so helpful!
That’s great to hear :)
Jan, your TH-cam channel is my favorite. When I can’t sit down and watch the entirety of your informative videos I often put my ear plugs in and listen to you while doing house chores. Your schedule is most likely extremely busy but have you given any thought to a plant podcast, maybe with guest speakers (your plant community friends)? I would enjoy hearing more content from you.
I have thought about it. Maybe once I run out of video ideas :D haha
And thanks :)
Ciao from Tuscany: Love the videos, especially the question and answer ones...plant lovers anywhere in the world are all on the same page...we love our plants, do our best for them, and worry about them just like children...you have certainly added to the wealth of knowledge available about house plants, especially the ones that might need a bit more attention there in Sydney. You have pretty much the same conditions that we have here in Italy...very hot summers, and short but sometimes intense winters..it's the changing light that presents a challenge...but we keep trying. Please keep up the wonderful work...very much enjoyed...and a big hug to Brad...loved your comment about having 7 of them if you could...we have 3 here at the house, and 6 more down in the village...all just wandering folk that found us, ,loved the food, and stayed...and you are right...above 2, it really doesn't matter, as the work is the same
in the long run...and the creatures have a family to take care of them. Stay safe, and we look forward to the next chapter!
Thank you :)
It’s good to know a little bit more about you 👍🏻
This is hands down my fav plant channel on YT, and I follow a lot! You've become my emotional support plant parent lol
Thanks :)
On the conversation of orchids, I highly recommend looking into different orchid species. My favorites are oncidiums and miltoniopsis however cattleyas and dendrobiums are quite popular as well. They come in all shapes sizes and condition requirements- it's a whole new plant world!
Firstly, Thankyou for providing us with your knowledge and experience. We can only build upon our knowledge by listening to others experiences. I have been binge watching your videos after killing every monstera in my care and I feel like together with what I have learnt and what I have heard from you and others I ( a new monstera) might have a chance!
I am so terribly sorry that there are many others that are greedy, selfish and rude. I know that is can be disheartening and a big kick to stomach when others treat you in this way, but for every one of the negative ppl there is at minimum 2 positive ppl in their place.
Your story of adopting Brad truly warmed my heart and the love you have for him is very evident. We now have 4 cats in our family and my husband and I always say we don’t choose cats, they choose us. We went to look at one cat (a pirate kitty who was a little older and needed a home) and left with an extra simply because she farted on my husband- he loved her since then. Turns out she had tummy issues that were solved relatively quickly at the vets, but i think she knew we would take good care of her and love her.
Thank you Jan and Brad and I hope 2023 is a great one for you both!
Thank you so much and loved that story about the 💨🤣🤣 :) cheers
Monstera Peru is relatively new on the market and it's hard to find big plants. I have a lot of it but they are few months old now. But I found a guy on TH-cam who has his Monstera Peru climbing all over the walls in his house. This is enough for me to know this plant can grow really big. Not very likely to grow bigger leafs if you aim at this. But yes, I believe it can take over your house if you can give it enough light and water. I can't wait to see my Monstera Peru plants get bigger. It puts out new growth even in the middle of winter. It's not the fastest grower but it's steady grower. You can tell is my favorite.
First I can't believe you get harassed for helping us care for our plants.I'm very sorry this happens to you. Then I want to say I am very grateful you take your time to teach and show us what you do to care for our plants.I think we all want and look forward to getting those big leaves on some of our plants. My fav. is the basic green monstera.Then the sp Columbia since I saw it on Charmaine's channel. With your example to follow I can have confidence in doing this. Thank you very much for taking your time to do this and I love looking at your big leaves.Take care and be safe from a 62year old grandma just starting to collect plants I love. After 24 years of taking care of people with mental illness and/or developmental disabilities and then becoming disabled myself, I needed something to care for and found that in my new friends/plants.
Thanks for sharing & your nice words :) happy growing !!
Jan... I thank you for sharing stories about Brad's life and his family. Now I can understand about the inner bond between you and Brad. Brad can feel that you really love him. Both of you look so happy. We love Brad too...😻😻😊 When I looked at the question list below, I didn't see Marisa's question that I liked too. But...when I watched your video...I was surprised! because you answered it. Jan..Thank you...😊.. I'm currently having a tiring period in understanding my plants which I started 6 months ago. I have a lot of new things to do. Previously I lived in an area with hot temperatur, while now I am in a cold area ( I live around the foot of Mount Merbabu, Central Java) so that my plants that used to grow in hot area, experienced a schock here. That's right, Jan... I'm starting to pay attention to the origin of the plants being raised. For example.... I once ever bought plants that were sold at the market near my house ( only some of them grew well because the plants were raised in the area near the top of Mount Merbabu.) During staying here, I often get gifts....beautiful plants from my neighbors and relatives The plants are easy to look after because they used to grow here. Yesterday morning I and my brother went out to a nursery ( which is quiet far from my house) to buy planting medium, pots, compost and new plants (because philo and monstera stock ran out, I bought 3 pothos and 1 Jade plant). I hope they can grow well. (Jan... It's 01.10 am right now (still raining). I just finished watching your video because since the afternoon ( 8 yours ago) when you uploaded this video. It was raining so heavily accompanied by lightnings. The internet signal suddenly stopped. I was only able to start watching your video again at 9.30 pm....and then the signal stopped again. Jan...If I can't immediately join in writing a comment, It's ceritain there isn't internet signal here. Because I live in an area like this, having opportunity to watch your video (that I need the most) is a Great Joy!!... This feeling may not be felt by others who can have good internet signal. Jan... I really like this Q&A video...very inspiring for me. Jan...Thank you so much....🙏🥰💚 I still can't believe...philo, monstera, pothos, syngonium, alocasia, anthurium grow here in my yard...and in my heart❤️😊...
Jan.... This morning the clouds are still thick up in the sky. Maybe it will rain again. The air is so cold here. The atmosphere looks somber. I look forward to watching your new shorts video that can make me smile again.. Jan, Thank you...Cheers!..🥰💚
Jan....Although the gray clouds are still visible in the sky, the sun is shining brightly. Right now I'm in my yard. I see all my plants are happy to welcome the warmth of the morning sun. Today I and my brother will be so busy looking after our tomato plants that need repotting ( need larger size of polybags). We grow them organically. I look forward to watching your new shorts video. Jan....Thank you so much for everything..😊.. I like your great ideas. You are so inspiring!...👍🥰💚😊
I love your channel so much. It’s opinionated and informative. Also, very much love to brad for being the best kitty. 😊
Thanks :)
I really enjoy your channel. I get fungus gnats from time to time. I use mosquito bits granules. I put them in my moss poles and it’s a slow process, but I have found great success with that. I buy them off amazon. Thank you for your videos. I have been staking up my plants all wrong for years since I’ve watched your video I now have all my plants on moss poles😁
Hi Jan, I really like your Q and A videos. You are so upfront and to the point ( it’s refreshing) . I’ve been considering pole plants for myself. ( I haven’t been able to because of too much travel). After watching your videos , I’m very inspired to start with indoor poles. Thanks for inspiring me!! Your plants and Brad are beautiful!
Thanks :)!
One reason why I watch your content is... I like your accent... In the Philippines the hobby is quite vibrant... I'm also new to being a Plant-tito...
Thanks :)
Great video! I have quite a few plants and had a cat, Kittykat, not a very original name, who was loved alone. She is missed very much. She never really showed any interest in the plants. She would occasionally bat at the hanging leaves of a Ponytail Palm, but that was all. So I think that you are right about the behaviors of the cats and they will either ignore the plants or have to be kept away from them for their own good! Once again I really appreciate your videos. Hopefully you'll keep doing more of them.
Thank you :)
Thankyou for sharing your knowledge and experiences 🌱
Great video as always ❤️❤️❤️
You are one of my plants bff in my head! Lol. Don't even waste your energy on the haters. You know you've made it when you have haters! Thank you for excellent and real content. No gimmicks and trickery on this channel! Please don't stop and continue to be my plant bff! 🤣🤣💕🤭
Haha I love that!! Thanks :) 😊
Yes, you definitely inspire me. Thank you.
Thanks :)
That oxalis crossed with verrucosum would be awesome!
Great video as usual Jan! The “hate” type thing you get in the hobby, in my experience its endemic in all hobbies! People will be people eh? No matter what they get into! Your videos have helped me loads :)
Thanks :) Oh for sure! Suppose we are quite lucky, the plant community would be a walk in the park to navigate compared to fashion, food & political commentary !! But rude behavious is still never acceptable !
@@sydneyplantguy agreed! I just tend to ignore it when it happens, half the time its attention driven ;)
Thank you for this video! I love your content and attitude towards plants, it is all so helpful, realistic and laid back. But my favourite part of this video was how much your face lit up when you talked about that handsome stud muffin brad. Thanks for sharing a bit more about him too!
Hehe thank you :)
Oh I love brad’s story, I also have 2 ginger cats and fortunately they are now not interested in the plants. I do keep an eye on them to make sure they are not eating any plants. My cats are also rescues. I think that’s the best way to get them if you want 7 cats. My limit is 3 cats for the size of my house.
Oh, little detail. I think if you chop Monstera Peru it will not grow as fast. I feel it's better to leave it alone to grow out of control and when it gets wild prune it for better looks. If you chop it often it will take a long time before it puts new growth. The vines I didn't chop are growing and put out new leafs readily while the ones I chopped took months before they put out new growth. That's my 50 cent ot this plant.
Thank you so much! I’m glad you mentioned the ‘black and white’ thing in this community. It’s insane when you post some thing and then there will be some comments saying ‘oh you should do this this, not that that’ or ‘the correct way is …’.
I’m like, there isn’t just ONE way of doing things, especially for living organisms like plants. 😅
Love your teachings when it comes to your experience as growing your plants and always making clear of your location and conditions. I would like to know if you can give a tutorial on the moss poles that have plastic in the back. They are way too expensive in the USA and probably you can give us ideas and a tutorial on these half moon poles. Thanks and Happy New year to you and your family 😉
Hey, i get mine grow @grow.vertical on instagram. But it’s basically just a sheet of plastic & a metal grid put together, you should be anle to DIY that :) just be creative, there are no right or wrongs
Yay, you speak your mind hun, well done, very admirable, don’t let them get to you. Your advice and time is precious, especially for me!! Love your content and I thank you for EVERYTHING.. I’ve learnt so much from you. Thank you from Shirley… dreary uk..
Thank you :)
Your imazing. Thank you so much.
We’re glad we gave Murphy a buddy but we didn’t get lucky with a plant ignoring cat like Brad 😅
Hi Jake 👋 good to see you here :) Looking forward to the day I’ll get him a little buddy :) but it’s not my time yet :)
I always wondered whether Brad was a plant chomper! I was afraid to buy anything that was toxic to my Girls (one is a chomper) but you have inspired me! I bought my first Monstera and am going to follow your tips to grow her huge! But I will be keeping her separated from the cats just in case :) thank you!
Nicely worded :-) Thanks for the video
Oh,and I bought a cebu blue as I want one as big as yours.
Keep doing what you do Jan! Haters gonna hate.
Cheers :) i know i know!! Still felt the need to call it out. Staying silent on it won’t change anything :)
Hey Jan, just wanted to say thank you for all of your video's! Really love them and appreciate all your tips, your experience and your time that goes into it.
I have been watching all day 😁
Pet brad for me 😊
Thank you for your support :)
Hi Jan :) A plant cross I would love to see is a silver sword with a gloriosum.....SS with veining!!!! I got my Luxurians when I got the El Choco...and El Choco is at the top of the I love this one so much meter :)....It will be nice to see how well it does for you in the future when you feel it is time :)....yes begonias are lovely....I grow many....some easy and some not, but all so so pretty....I agree with the 7 cats....I live with 3 and would love to have more...but rent too....well I am glad you were happy to share more with us today.....and thanks for bringing so much joy and happiness to our lives....and so so happy your happy :)...
Thank you so much :)
Thanks for the Q&A, Jan! I enjoyed it with my morning coffee. Please give Brad some pets from me😺
Ginger kitties are my favorite. I have a ginger named Copper.
They are the best !!!
Can you please make a video update of your manjula pothos that’s growing on a moss pole
