Thanks, SPG, for being authentic. Genuinely, one of the reasons I have followed you for so long is that I don't feel like there is this fake persona and it's just refreshing to watch someone who cares about the same things in life. 🌱💚📷
It's good that you're talking about things that we as an audience can do “better” to improve your reach, earnings, etc. People who are not creators have no idea how some activities affect the algorithm and how easily they can mess it up. Awareness needs to be raised! 💪 P.S. I love these lego flowers, they are the only plants on which I don't have pests😂💚
📸Some people aren't bright enough to realize that people on the internet are actual people, and they aren't entitled to know everything about their lives. I appreciate all that you share. Yes, I'm nosey and would love to know more, but I respect you as a person. And I love Brad. 😺😻😽😽😽
I kind of feel like TH-cam is more authentic whereas on IG and TikTok are a bunch of shorts that are meant to be funny. Yes, there are some DYIs, etc. but I just personally like this better. As far as your channel goes, I love it because I do feel like I'm almost in person with you. You're not bouncing all over the screen, acting a fool... you're giving VERY helpful tips and tricks as far as plants go and you can very much see how genuine you are. It's nice to see someone creating the content without a bunch of edits as well. You can absolutely tell, and it gets annoying after a while. I want to see the bloopers! lol Anyway, thank you for what you do and keep it up, we enjoy you so much! P.S.... To answer your question, I found you here on TH-cam first :) 🎥📸
I've referred so many plant friends to your videos. I love how clearly and throughly you present information. Thank you for all of your work! Brad is such a cutie 😊😊😊
How funny because I just talked about this in a reading. People really don’t understand the stress and pressures put into content creating. It’s taken 5 years to grow to over 26k still feels like a climb everyday. This is a hard job. Love your content and keep growing.. no pun intended. 😂❤
You are the only content creator who was able to explain to me clearly to me the importance of moss pole. backed with science and beautiful plants as proof.
Wow! Thank you for sharing these valuable tips and not gate keeping them! The last bit really put things into perspective. I hope you know how appreciated you are, plant chores or not, your videos help me unwind after a long day. Thank you for caring, and thank you Brad for being so adorable!
I initially came to your channel seeking knowledge and help with my plants. You definitely never disappoint! Now I stay for you and Brad! You are so genuine and your content is always fun to watch and informative. I’m so glad that you are able to do what you love! The time and effort you put into your videos never goes unnoticed.
@ I’m not a stalker believe me,🤣 you can ask my husband of 40 years. 😅I’m open to learning from the young gen and find it very inspiring to see the younger generation strive and grow in their abilities and talents. But you need support and recognition for the amazing work that you do. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
LOVE these Lego sets - l've not seen these ones before. I've done the orchid, the bonsai and a bunch of flowers. Need the daffs and sunflowers. Especially appreciated your chat about monetisation. It's good to know how it works. Hoping that this eventually gets you and Brad into a home of your very own ❤
I think one of the biggest reasons why I like to watch your videos (despite the endless inspiration that I get from them and the truly AMAZING 💚 plants and tips and so) is that you really sound honest and authentic and you make your audience feel like we can be ourselves as well and as you say, that’s OK, with all the success and all the failures and so on. And I think that’s exactly what you did in this video as well and it’s just really great authentic content. It helps to educate us and raise awareness about the work of content creators and how to show appreciation for it. I really needed a bit of a “lesson” about it. Thank you for sharing it with us! 💚 📸
I'm already looking forward to you moving into your own house 😅 For some strange reason I love watching renovating, moving furniture and decorating especially if it's got to do with plants😂🤣🌿🌱
I found you in TH-cam accidentally when you started your channel. I am very great full to have found you. Your originally, down to earth personally, and honestly has been inspiring. As you mentioned based on your content I felt a bit more comfortable “poking the bear” and trying to grow plants on moss pole even when my family don’t het it. Thank you for all of your advice. Wishing the best for you and may you keep creating for many years to come. Hoping that your dream of getting your house and renovating expanding it.
I came across your channel via TH-cam and I believe it was at the beginning of my planty journey when I was searching for information on a specific plant or maybe even plants on poles. Great video and very informative! 📷
Love watching your videos. And of course the most beautiful fluffy Bradley. Wish mine was that loving. Share your videos quite a lot to groups I'm in. Getting loads of ideas from your channel. And..have FINALLY found a manjula which I'm picking up tomorrow!! Someone here in Adelaide has said they are an awful grower. Hope to prove him wrong! 😊😊
@sandiefrancis2387 Hi Sandie, sounds like you and I could set up an SPG Adelaide fan club 🙂. I've had a Manjula for a couple of years, and it's going well, but quite slowly. What I have no success with are the velvets. What about you?
Look forward for new place and renovation videos some day , that always interest me how people live and I enjoy your way of plant styling in space. It's nice but not busy to me eyes , elegant 😉
Thanks Jan for this video. Lots of good information. I'm not a content creator I just love growing plants and seeing what other people grow but I enjoyed hearing all the things you have to consider to create an interesting video. Appreciate your content always. 📷
Really enjoyed your insight in this video! I’m usually more of a lurker (but subscribed!) on both youtube and IG, but I do comment/dm occasionally (both here and IG) and it’s so nice being able to interact with you! I just had this video play whilst I’m working, and it’s kinda like having friendly company
📸 I found your channel through a Facebook plant group and instantly loved your content , Brad and you, I look forward to Tuesday and Thursday's spent with you.
Incredible vid….. a good reflection of the man that you are - confident in yourself and your content and humble enough to share the elements that have made you the success that you are. Others would not be so gracious or so giving. Wishing you all the success , all the time. ♥️ GT Maree
📸I really love your longer videos… I found out about your channel from another planty TH-camr and the first video I watched was on moss poles. I love growing plants on moss poles and have learned so much from you!
If I see a notification for a video of yours, I am on it haha. Sometimes I watch the long form content in chunks on a busy week. I think it would be worth uploading some shorter but maybe more of them? You seem happy either way and I am so happy for you 🎥
I truly appreciate all of the time and effort you put into your content. You should be aware that you are an inspiration not only to myself but many many others that I know and certainly many more that are unknown. I learned more from this video than I have in my 3 month attempt to figure this out on my own. I am very much OCD in how the final outcome of the video looks, and I ALWAYS talk myself out of posting. I beat myself up to the point that I catastrophically implode. Sometimes, to the point that I actually go back and remove older posts! I'm just starting out obviously and very thankful that I had the opportunity to see this now rather than later. THANK YOU! ❤🎉❤ 38:48
🎥 💐 💐! Really liked this video! It was very informative. So sorry you felt the need to film it three times, but third time was definitely a charm for this one!
Hi Jan. I found you on TH-cam after watching The Jungle Haven. I now look forward to your new videos and love your content. I don’t have any other social media and I agree that they all have different clientele. I like the content creators like yourself who make the effort to get to know their audience and are authentic people. I hope you're able to continue while still being able to achieve some of your life goals. I try to help by watching and not skipping the ads 📷
I often comment because I know that it helps the algorithm too. Personally, you appeared in my suggestions, I also often saw other TH-camrs suggest your content in particular the moss poles. I liked the vibe, your humor and I stayed there! 💛🇨🇦 You are interesting on many subjects. I don't have any Aroid or moss pole 😆 I have several plants, but not of this type. What you say, present, explain is educational and fun. I listen to you while working so I appreciate the long videos, a bit like a podcast! Besides a Podcast with AJ 💛😆 The other day you talked about Daryll House Plant Journal, he often does collaborations, he did one with an Australian for the Leca. It would be super interesting you two I am convinced! Take care of you! 📹
This was so interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing! I found you through YT, I don't have other platforms. 📷 Keep doing what you're doing. Like you said, we sre a community and the relationship is the important part. I think most of us would continue the journey with house renovation stuff. How fun!
You made me get into my first Anthuriums I'm actually receiving this week . I'm more confident and prepared. Hopefully I get one of those special Anthuriums your growing 🙏
Fantastic video, love the engagement and personal feelings of your videos. I came across you on TH-cam, I don't use Instagram or fb for personal stuff, mainly work stuff (movies etc). I've always been a huge airoid lover, especially climbing plants, and HUGE plants, but in the uk it is difficult to grow some species, but I love a challenge. Your channel has taught me so much about plant care. I really, really appreciate your content and the work you put into it, your passion for plants really comes across in your videos. Thank you for your informative content and the family feel(vibe) that comes across. Take care Pete
It’s nice to know have we can help you, cause some of us know how to act as human beings on the internet and want to be kind:) I’ve been working on my exams for the past few weeks so I’m a few days behind on content (sorry). I found you through TH-cam btw📸📸 and do appreciate your variety (moreSPG as well), long or short, cat or no cat, because you are interesting with a calming voice and content
📸📷🎥📹Thank you Jan! Very helpful. I’m just starting out on YT and I’m enjoying it but it’s slow going. I’ve started just putting clips of my videos as shorts, like advertisements I guess. It seems like the shorts help get my content in front of new eyes. I enjoy making the longer, plant chores videos more. They seem more organic. The ones where I’m just showing you plants, and describing to you what you are seeing, is not my favourite. 😂
I watch you because I like your personality, your character, your intellect, your creativity, and your ability to take us along on your plant journey. I think your content is “edutainment” education+entertainment. I found you when I moved from Florida to Kansas. I had to bring all of my outdoor tropical plants indoors. Came for the plants and I found a very enjoyable and engaging person with the sweetest most handsomest fur baby🐈🥰🐈🥰Im so glad you and Brad popped up on my TH-cam page! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌱🌿🪴🍃🌞
I love what you do as a content creator. However personally I feel you are a better plantfluencer. You have influenced me to obtain a verrucosum, el choco red, splendid, frydeck, ikea cabinet, many sets of grow lights and much much more😂😂 my husband not as big of a fan of SPG but I’m having a ball. Thank you so much.
💚I’ve been watching your videos and they’ve really inspired me to get back into my plant pages and channel. Thanks so much for sharing your tips on how to connect with your audience. I really appreciate it!💚
SPG!! Thank you for being so authentic and genuine with us!!! ❤ btw- found you on TH-cam, started following you on ig after the fact 😂 and I always see your videos on my feed every day, just lag on commenting whoopsie ! Also thought it was really refreshing to not hear you recommend the “therapy app” to us. I have never doubted you!! you’ve always been so clear and straight up with us like a real person does and that’s why u my fave. I do wish you had merch though cuz I want a shirt 😅
📸 Thanks for sharing. I hope Santa brings me some Lego flowers. I would love to see you collaborate with Sean from OnlyPlants. You two are my favorite plant people.
Thanks for another great video. Very informative. I’m glad you took time to do some planty things the other day without filming and enjoyed yourself. The struggle to feel like you need to film everything is real and it can take the fun out of the hobby. I really enjoy the long form content. I wish YT wasn’t pushing so much for short form. I hate shorts and rarely watch them. I go to YT to learn about things I’m interested in and I can’t get that kind of information in a short. Your videos are always informative and entertaining. Thanks for all you do. 😊🎥
I found you on TH-cam! I am not particularly interested in moss poles, they are ok, but I am not crazy about them. However, I find your content and personality fun to watch and I love plants. Hope this helps!
I've been watching you for over a year and had no idea that you read all the comments. This is my first time making a comment because of what I've learned from your video. Thanks for an informative and entertaining video.
Interesting topic! Love the Dr. SPG series! You are still my favorite planty follow because you are genuine, informative, funny and interesting. You are really super good at this! 🪴
I really loved the botanic gardens videos. Maybe most indoor plants lovers don't have a garden space so outdoor plants are less interesting or relevant to them. Maybe viewers would like to see you tour or interview other people about their indoor plant collections?
I found you on Instagram. I think not long before you started making TH-cam videos. If memory serves, I remember sharing with a fellow plant enthusiast and saw the links to TH-cam. Remember thinking holy crap he’s got videos now! That’s awesome!
Super helpful video thank you 🙏 🌱💚 As a new planty You Tuber this video was packed full of useful tips. I’ll likely even watch it again to make sure I didn’t miss anything 👍🏻😂
I found you when I was looking for inspiration to develop my garden in Sydney. Another Sydney TH-camr I follow is The morning chorus - who mainly focuses cacti and succulents. I like lots of different plants including cottage style, tropical and succulents. Jill 🎥
Thank you so much for the pointers!😍 I'm really struggling at the moment with the sub growth... Buttt I do watch you videos a lot, and multiple times to! Just because I forgot something or just for fun🥰
🎥📸 it is interesting to hear about the behind the scenes stuff, i love all of your content and i really like the idea of seeing you renovating your house with plants and your planty aesthetic in mind. i definitely try to watch as soon as i see a new video, and the time difference between australia and usa means i usually watch while i have coffee in the morning a few hours after you post. also i love the botanical garden videos but maybe im a minority haha anyway, thank you for all of the information and for always including brad because hes so sweet and adorable. i commend anyone who is brave enough to put themselves out there, i personally could never! i think if you did collaborate with other planty people that would be fun.
Your advice has given me the ability to successfully grow indoors plants after a lifetime of growing outdoors. I was never able to keep a house plant alive. I found you when I saw a TH-cam short of you chopping a plant "OH NO" That one still makes me laugh.
📸 I appreciate your honesty.You are very matter of fact about plants and plant care, your yearly report videos about a particular plant are unique on youtube (I can't think of anybody else at the moment), I love the vlogs, even though they seem to not be for everybody and I trully appreciate that you don't split your subscribers into privileged (aka paid membership) and lowly peasants. I always watch your videos to the end, but I'll try to do it within the 24 hours. Anything I can do, I will, so you don't feel forced to recommend us mental therapy or socks or something like that😊
📸 I found your channel on TH-cam. Insta is somehow not my thing, tiktok even less so.😅 My first video was your Adansonii Spotlight. I've been a loyal subscriber ever since.💚 Thank you so much!
Love all your videos, long, short, however they come. I'd watch whatever you put out every day of the week if you did it. Good luck for your house dream, I'd love to see you've renovating dream come true and I'd watch it. Lego is the best 🎉 📸
Hi from Romania! I've been following you for so long that it took me a minute but I think I remember now that I saw you first on Instagram in a collab video with another guy who does moss poles and came over to TH-cam very shortly after.
📷 As a subscriber it's nice to know how to be a "better" viewer so that I can support you so that you can continue creating. Wish I could watch all of your videos right away but I live on the opposite side of the world so that's not really feasible due to the time difference 😅 But I will try to watch them the same day I see that there's a new one 🙂 I found your channel when I was searching moss pole related hashtags on Instagram, but didn't subscribe to your channel on TH-cam until after I had created my first moss pole. It was unfortunately NOT made according to your recommendations, and I found your content again when I was troubleshooting why it wasn't working. I had made every mistake really: I put a too mature monstera deliciosa on a moss pole that was poorly constructed using the wrong kind of wire mesh (hexagonal and sort of flimsy), it was too wide and therefore contained too much sphagnum moss, it was in a too big pot with a potting mix that was not chunky and not well draining enough. That monstera sadly died (duh🙄😜) but I managed to take propagations and will try again when they are ready (I want to put a monstera deliciosa on a moss pole even though you don't think they need it, because I think it will look more neat that way). After seeing your content I got curious about different sorts of climbing aroids (had never heard of most of them before) so now I've put an el choco red, a verrucosum and a regular pothos on moss poles that are constructed using your techniques, approximately 1,5-2 months ago. Only the el choco has started to attach so far, but if it works I will definitely start recommending your youtube channel (and specifically the instructions for how to make moss poles) in the Swedish Facebook plant groups I'm in, because I see a lot of questions about moss poles there. I don't want to recommend something I've not tried and had success with myself though, but hopefully proof will be in the pudding (😉) and some of of my plants will make it and hopefully thrive this time 🪴🌿
I hate the TH-cam shorts… they are akward and not why I open TH-cam, the bf on the other hand loves doomscrolling down this shorts. I love your long vids just to listen en watch you while doing my own plant tasks. Keep being you! ❤ P.s. 🎥
Thanks, SPG, for being authentic. Genuinely, one of the reasons I have followed you for so long is that I don't feel like there is this fake persona and it's just refreshing to watch someone who cares about the same things in life. 🌱💚📷
Thank you :) appreciate it :)
I like the time and effort you put in your videos. Long or short ❤
To put it frankly I’m grateful for your care in your plants AND us.
And I’m grateful for such a great community 🥰
It's good that you're talking about things that we as an audience can do “better” to improve your reach, earnings, etc.
People who are not creators have no idea how some activities affect the algorithm and how easily they can mess it up. Awareness needs to be raised! 💪
P.S. I love these lego flowers, they are the only plants on which I don't have pests😂💚
Thank you!! appreciate the support :)
My friend you DEFINITELY have some of the biggest plants in the world 😊 Your collection is goals! Thank you for all the tips ❤️❤️❤️
Hehe thanks Roos :)
Thanks for sharing Brad with us.
😻😻
📸Some people aren't bright enough to realize that people on the internet are actual people, and they aren't entitled to know everything about their lives. I appreciate all that you share. Yes, I'm nosey and would love to know more, but I respect you as a person. And I love Brad. 😺😻😽😽😽

I found you on TH-cam, I watch many creators and love TH-cam for information and educational purposes. I mean it’s one of the best resources I know.📸
Thank you:)

This was such a great video. There are pretty much no content creation videos out there aimed at plant creators so this was brilliant to watch.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful 😊
📷📸📹🎥📱Like the end where you are rearranging your lego floral bouquet 💐🌻😁 I usually read comments during the commercials.
I initially came to your channel seeking knowledge and help with my plants. You definitely never disappoint! Now I stay for you and Brad! You are so genuine and your content is always fun to watch and informative. I’m so glad that you are able to do what you love! The time and effort you put into your videos never goes unnoticed.
Thank you so much! That means a lot! 🙏
You’re an influencer,educator,producer,encourager etc………💚💚🪴🌿🌿 Natalie
Thank you Jan 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🥰🥰 thanks for the ongoing support Natalie!! As always, much appreciated :)
@ I’m not a stalker believe me,🤣 you can ask my husband of 40 years. 😅I’m open to learning from the young gen and find it very inspiring to see the younger generation strive and grow in their abilities and talents. But you need support and recognition for the amazing work that you do. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Model, Interior Designer, Doctor, Podcaster, Businessman, Interviewer-Journalist, and many other just like Miranda Sings😜
Thank you Jan for always speaking your truth, it is so refreshing!
Thanks! It’s always best to be honest :)
LOVE these Lego sets - l've not seen these ones before. I've done the orchid, the bonsai and a bunch of flowers. Need the daffs and sunflowers. Especially appreciated your chat about monetisation. It's good to know how it works. Hoping that this eventually gets you and Brad into a home of your very own ❤
Also, alter the stem lengths on some of the flowers for a much better display
Thank you!!! Yes have changed up the stem length since :)
Thank you for your valuable insight and honesty, Jan 😊 💚
Thanks :)

Great video Jan, always love your content, especially your authenticity and honesty!! 💚💚💚💚

Very informative, your hard work shows and it's much appreciated. I also love how you Interact with brad and respect his decisions 🐈❤.
Thank you:)
I'm so excited, I've been waiting to see if you've given the Monstera Peru another chance in your greenhouse!!! ❤
❤❤❤❤❤ I do that, too! That's probably why I have no content! Lol. That's OK, though. I never want to lose my LOVE for the hobby of plant care.
Good sharing thanks 👍
I came across your channel via TH-cam and I believe it was at the beginning of my planty journey when I was searching for information on a specific plant or maybe even plants on poles. Great video and very informative! 📷

So interesting, so much happens behind the scenes. Thank you for you content , I always watch and look forward to it
Thank you!!:)
Love watching your videos. And of course the most beautiful fluffy Bradley. Wish mine was that loving.
Share your videos quite a lot to groups I'm in.
Getting loads of ideas from your channel.
And..have FINALLY found a manjula which I'm picking up tomorrow!! Someone here in Adelaide has said they are an awful grower. Hope to prove him wrong! 😊😊
That’s great to hear :) thanks for spreading the word hehe :)
@sandiefrancis2387 Hi Sandie, sounds like you and I could set up an SPG Adelaide fan club 🙂. I've had a Manjula for a couple of years, and it's going well, but quite slowly. What I have no success with are the velvets. What about you?
@robynfisher4455 I Haven't had any of those as yet.
Still looking. Need to get set up better at home
I love your videos because you're very down to earth , you have quality information & Brad ❤️
Thanks :)
Look forward for new place and renovation videos some day , that always interest me how people live and I enjoy your way of plant styling in space. It's nice but not busy to me eyes , elegant 😉
Thanks :)
📷- so informative while still being entertaining (per usual) 💚
Thanks!! 🥰
Thanks Jan for this video. Lots of good information. I'm not a content creator I just love growing plants and seeing what other people grow but I enjoyed hearing all the things you have to consider to create an interesting video. Appreciate your content always. 📷

Thanks :)
Love your chats. I found you on TH-cam not instagram. Appreciate all the content!
Thanks as always :)
Sending you lots of love. Thanks for being you
Thank you so much :)
This was so interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing! I found you through YT, I don't have other platforms. 📷 Keep doing what you're doing. Like you said, we sre a community and the relationship is the important part. I think most of us would continue the journey with house renovation stuff. How fun!
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it :)
You made me get into my first Anthuriums I'm actually receiving this week . I'm more confident and prepared. Hopefully I get one of those special Anthuriums your growing 🙏
I also have the bonsai lego set it's awesome 👌
Fantastic video, love the engagement and personal feelings of your videos. I came across you on TH-cam, I don't use Instagram or fb for personal stuff, mainly work stuff (movies etc). I've always been a huge airoid lover, especially climbing plants, and HUGE plants, but in the uk it is difficult to grow some species, but I love a challenge. Your channel has taught me so much about plant care. I really, really appreciate your content and the work you put into it, your passion for plants really comes across in your videos.
Thank you for your informative content and the family feel(vibe) that comes across.
Take care
Pete
Thanks Pete :)
Beautiful video, Jan! You inspire me 📷💚
Thank you so much!
It’s nice to know have we can help you, cause some of us know how to act as human beings on the internet and want to be kind:) I’ve been working on my exams for the past few weeks so I’m a few days behind on content (sorry). I found you through TH-cam btw📸📸 and do appreciate your variety (moreSPG as well), long or short, cat or no cat, because you are interesting with a calming voice and content
Really appreciate it :)
📸📷🎥📹Thank you Jan! Very helpful. I’m just starting out on YT and I’m enjoying it but it’s slow going. I’ve started just putting clips of my videos as shorts, like advertisements I guess. It seems like the shorts help get my content in front of new eyes. I enjoy making the longer, plant chores videos more. They seem more organic. The ones where I’m just showing you plants, and describing to you what you are seeing, is not my favourite. 😂
Good luck & hope u’ll have success :)
I had a friend who recommended to watch your content, about a couple of years ago.. been following you ever since!
Thanks for the ongoing support :)
I watch you because I like your personality, your character, your intellect, your creativity, and your ability to take us along on your plant journey. I think your content is “edutainment” education+entertainment. I found you when I moved from Florida to Kansas. I had to bring all of my outdoor tropical plants indoors. Came for the plants and I found a very enjoyable and engaging person with the sweetest most handsomest fur baby🐈🥰🐈🥰Im so glad you and Brad popped up on my TH-cam page! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌱🌿🪴🍃🌞
Thank you :) appreciate it !
The lego flowers are 👌
Very good info !
You came across u tube.
💚🍀🌵🌿💚
Thank you:)
I love what you do as a content creator. However personally I feel you are a better plantfluencer. You have influenced me to obtain a verrucosum, el choco red, splendid, frydeck, ikea cabinet, many sets of grow lights and much much more😂😂 my husband not as big of a fan of SPG but I’m having a ball. Thank you so much.
TH-cam. I discovered your content originally on TH-cam. It was shortly after that TikTok and Instagram pushed your channels into my algorithm.
💚I’ve been watching your videos and they’ve really inspired me to get back into my plant pages and channel. Thanks so much for sharing your tips on how to connect with your audience. I really appreciate it!💚
Happy growing :)
SPG!! Thank you for being so authentic and genuine with us!!! ❤ btw- found you on TH-cam, started following you on ig after the fact 😂 and I always see your videos on my feed every day, just lag on commenting whoopsie !
Also thought it was really refreshing to not hear you recommend the “therapy app” to us. I have never doubted you!! you’ve always been so clear and straight up with us like a real person does and that’s why u my fave. I do wish you had merch though cuz I want a shirt 😅
Thank you so much!!! Still on the fence about merch! Just not that excited about it 🫣🫣
📸 Thanks for sharing. I hope Santa brings me some Lego flowers. I would love to see you collaborate with Sean from OnlyPlants. You two are my favorite plant people.
Thanks :) That would be so fun!
Thanks for another great video. Very informative. I’m glad you took time to do some planty things the other day without filming and enjoyed yourself. The struggle to feel like you need to film everything is real and it can take the fun out of the hobby. I really enjoy the long form content. I wish YT wasn’t pushing so much for short form. I hate shorts and rarely watch them. I go to YT to learn about things I’m interested in and I can’t get that kind of information in a short. Your videos are always informative and entertaining. Thanks for all you do. 😊🎥
Thank you :) appreciate it !
I found you on TH-cam! I am not particularly interested in moss poles, they are ok, but I am not crazy about them. However, I find your content and personality fun to watch and I love plants. Hope this helps!
Thank you:)
I feel that you love your job and I love your videos
Thank you:)
Great Video Jan!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you for continuing to inspire us 📷
🥰🥰 Thanks for the support!
I've been watching you for over a year and had no idea that you read all the comments. This is my first time making a comment because of what I've learned from your video. Thanks for an informative and entertaining video.
Thanks for watching my videos :)
📸 keep up the great content!
Thanks :)
Interesting topic! Love the Dr. SPG series! You are still my favorite planty follow because you are genuine, informative, funny and interesting. You are really super good at this! 🪴
Thank you so much !! What lovely words :)) Really appreciate it
I really loved the botanic gardens videos. Maybe most indoor plants lovers don't have a garden space so outdoor plants are less interesting or relevant to them. Maybe viewers would like to see you tour or interview other people about their indoor plant collections?
You’re right, most of my audience are indoor plant focused :) defs need to get better at collaborating :)
📷 I’m not a content creator but enjoyed getting some insight into the process! Love your content!
I found you on Instagram. I think not long before you started making TH-cam videos. If memory serves, I remember sharing with a fellow plant enthusiast and saw the links to TH-cam.
Remember thinking holy crap he’s got videos now! That’s awesome!
Thank you!!
@ Of Course!!
Super helpful video thank you 🙏 🌱💚 As a new planty You Tuber this video was packed full of useful tips. I’ll likely even watch it again to make sure I didn’t miss anything 👍🏻😂
Glad it was helpful :)
I found you when I was looking for inspiration to develop my garden in Sydney. Another Sydney TH-camr I follow is The morning chorus - who mainly focuses cacti and succulents.
I like lots of different plants including cottage style, tropical and succulents. Jill 🎥
Thanks :)
📸 great video. Thanks for you insight 😊
Thanks for watching :)
Found you on TH-cam- a short - shaking a plant!
Thank you so much for the pointers!😍 I'm really struggling at the moment with the sub growth...
Buttt I do watch you videos a lot, and multiple times to! Just because I forgot something or just for fun🥰
Appreciate it :)
I found you on TH-cam first and then Instagram😊
📷 it's amazing that you've found something you love to do and turning it into a career. Really great insights into being a content creator!
Thank you:)
📹 Great insight! Thank you! And if you change your mind about merch, put me down for a SPG tank 🙌🏼📸
Thanks Pablo :)
🎥📸 it is interesting to hear about the behind the scenes stuff, i love all of your content and i really like the idea of seeing you renovating your house with plants and your planty aesthetic in mind. i definitely try to watch as soon as i see a new video, and the time difference between australia and usa means i usually watch while i have coffee in the morning a few hours after you post. also i love the botanical garden videos but maybe im a minority haha anyway, thank you for all of the information and for always including brad because hes so sweet and adorable. i commend anyone who is brave enough to put themselves out there, i personally could never! i think if you did collaborate with other planty people that would be fun.
Thank you :) appreciate it !
Your advice has given me the ability to successfully grow indoors plants after a lifetime of growing outdoors. I was never able to keep a house plant alive. I found you when I saw a TH-cam short of you chopping a plant "OH NO" That one still makes me laugh.
great to hear :) happy growing :)
📸 I appreciate your honesty.You are very matter of fact about plants and plant care, your yearly report videos about a particular plant are unique on youtube (I can't think of anybody else at the moment), I love the vlogs, even though they seem to not be for everybody and I trully appreciate that you don't split your subscribers into privileged (aka paid membership) and lowly peasants. I always watch your videos to the end, but I'll try to do it within the 24 hours. Anything I can do, I will, so you don't feel forced to recommend us mental therapy or socks or something like that😊
hehe thanks :)
📸 I found your channel on TH-cam. Insta is somehow not my thing, tiktok even less so.😅
My first video was your Adansonii Spotlight. I've been a loyal subscriber ever since.💚
Thank you so much!
Appreciate the ongoing support :)
Love all your videos, long, short, however they come.
I'd watch whatever you put out every day of the week if you did it.
Good luck for your house dream, I'd love to see you've renovating dream come true and I'd watch it.
Lego is the best 🎉
📸
Thank you!! Really appreciate it :)
Love❤
🎉🎉🎉
Hi from Romania! I've been following you for so long that it took me a minute but I think I remember now that I saw you first on Instagram in a collab video with another guy who does moss poles and came over to TH-cam very shortly after.
Thanks for the ongoing support :)
📷 As a subscriber it's nice to know how to be a "better" viewer so that I can support you so that you can continue creating. Wish I could watch all of your videos right away but I live on the opposite side of the world so that's not really feasible due to the time difference 😅 But I will try to watch them the same day I see that there's a new one 🙂
I found your channel when I was searching moss pole related hashtags on Instagram, but didn't subscribe to your channel on TH-cam until after I had created my first moss pole. It was unfortunately NOT made according to your recommendations, and I found your content again when I was troubleshooting why it wasn't working. I had made every mistake really: I put a too mature monstera deliciosa on a moss pole that was poorly constructed using the wrong kind of wire mesh (hexagonal and sort of flimsy), it was too wide and therefore contained too much sphagnum moss, it was in a too big pot with a potting mix that was not chunky and not well draining enough. That monstera sadly died (duh🙄😜) but I managed to take propagations and will try again when they are ready (I want to put a monstera deliciosa on a moss pole even though you don't think they need it, because I think it will look more neat that way). After seeing your content I got curious about different sorts of climbing aroids (had never heard of most of them before) so now I've put an el choco red, a verrucosum and a regular pothos on moss poles that are constructed using your techniques, approximately 1,5-2 months ago. Only the el choco has started to attach so far, but if it works I will definitely start recommending your youtube channel (and specifically the instructions for how to make moss poles) in the Swedish Facebook plant groups I'm in, because I see a lot of questions about moss poles there. I don't want to recommend something I've not tried and had success with myself though, but hopefully proof will be in the pudding (😉) and some of of my plants will make it and hopefully thrive this time 🪴🌿
I hate the TH-cam shorts… they are akward and not why I open TH-cam, the bf on the other hand loves doomscrolling down this shorts. I love your long vids just to listen en watch you while doing my own plant tasks.
Keep being you! ❤
P.s. 🎥
First one! 🙈🥰
📷this was interesting!
Thanks :)
