You need a bit of clear packing tape on either side of the tight pot. Fold over the top so it sticks out like a little handle and then you can use the tape tabs to draw the inner pot out quite easily.
theyre honestly trippin for wanting $699 USD for what it is 😅 i love that youre getting sponsors though, thank you for all the free info you give us ❤️
This was very interesting. The Forest is WAY beyond my budget, but it did give me some ideas. I think that you are so right about the cons of the Forest. If I had one, I would like more flexibility in the heights and pot sizes. I think it does have some uses as is though too. Like all new things, it takes a while to find the best use. It is VERY, VERY expensive though. Your plants are so beautiful! I am just getting started again after many years without a lot of plants. There is so much information available now with the internet. I am learning all over again. Love your videos!
It looks lovely, truly does. They (Mother) are mighty ‘proud’ of their products in general. So overpriced especially in today’s economy. This could be diy’d fairly inexpensively.
I loved this video, you are so funny and that forest is amazing. I would totally buy it if I could afford it, but it's ridiculously expensive so I never will. Also, I think Brad was amazing as always, he is my favourite youtuber
Hi Jan, Thanks for your review. I have a couple of suggestions for Mother in case you care to pass them along to them. They might be interested in your viewers' opinion: 1. For the FOREST. It looks great. But they might want to look into improving the modules to accommodate both the current size pots and larger pots. The reason is $699 EU or USD is too steep a price for such tiny plants. Usually a plant that size retails between $12 and $40 USD, unless it's a specialty plant. I think the cost/benefit ratio of most people might be too high for such tiny plants. 2. For the plant spectrum: I love that light. But I'm looking for something that is higher. I know I could stack them, but to be honest, the size of my planters is almost the same height as the whole lamp that would be used as a base. Again, regarding design: They might want to consider offering an extension base that has an adjustable height. If they do, I'll buy 4 mother lights immediately! Until then, I'm leaning more toward the Soltech Aspect.
Thank you for taking the time to review The Forest. The esthetic is most captivating, until you look at the price point 😿. As well, the pot size/ verticle adjustment is reminiscent of other plant stands I have that frustrate me when it's time to repot. I suppose if cost was no issue, the Forest does make a nice propagation station, but alas, I will have to make do with my window sills full of recycled jars. 😻
😂 don’t ever change. Your assessment is gold for Mother. I’ve never laughed so hard at a product review. Yes it’s you, but it’s most of us too. I wish i could paste a photo here because my cat was very interested in Brad’s activities and I snapped her photo checking him out up close. He’s a great co-star
Honestly love love that you don’t put theses videos out in section it’s a whole long video with months of footage thanks for that I wouldn’t have the patience to wait 😅
I pray they check the system before it ships to ensure everything works, I’d be so upset if I went to all the trouble and one of the lights didn’t work, or etc. the pots are tapered at the top, don’t think I like that, I recently tried rimless clear pots and quickly realized I couldn’t get them out of the cover pot, the person below mentioned putting a tape tab on the edge to pull it up with, imma try that!
If they could make the pots able to fit a 6” pot inside and the shelving adjustable to wherever you want to position it it might be worth paying But it’s too expensive for me. Great idea though
The forest is perfect for you and your apartment it certainly bought that corner to life. Always enjoy your reviews as we always get proof is in the pudding results. Can see that’s it’s a very well made product but the price would be way out of my league. Love and hugs to Brad 💚
I'm not usually super into syngonium ( I think it's their growth habit and some of the colors they come in that I don't love) HOWEVER the 'mojito' is right up my alley! That green on green is stunning 🤌💚
Unless they're replacing lighting in a home, I've always found grow lights to be a gimmick waste of money. Also, why are these black? Black absorbs light whilst white deflects it. I'd think they'd want something brighter for their plants and the dark area it's installed in. Except for the color, the design looks good and functional. Thank you so much for reviewing these products. These videos are very useful and help me make decisions on how to best spend my money.
that metal pole is NOT worth 1200 bux. (as advertised on the manufacturers site)that pricing is outrageous. was going to look into mothers for lights based on some other utube plant video makers. not anymore. did i mention it's 1200 bux ?! are you kidding me? there MIGHT be 2-300 bux worth of material in the entire assembly. some companies waaaaay overvalue their products, and their self worth, too...... seems to be a thing in the world of plant/lighting supplies...it does look nice though. mebbe 4-500 bux nice.
I agree and yet i found one has slipped into a beefsteak begonia pot and rooted so i cut it from the mother plant and every now and again i wonder what is that strange leaf in my begonia.
AHHHHH My new mantra. Don't put it down put it away!! Hopefully it will stop my constantly losing things. I LOVE the Forest! When I get wonky bottom pots i pour a little perlite in them to level things out. I bought a wonderful wagon in a box. Talk about getting grumpy with putting it together. I adore the big rubber tire wagon though. I use it for so many things here.
I wouldn’t be so strict and say ‘every year’ as it really depends on the plant and how fast it is growing. But repotting on a regular basis can help the clients :)
Really appreciate your time and effort you put into the reviews! Love the look of that forest,it’s so neat and tidy. I wonder if they could put a magnet at the bottom of the pot to stabilize them,it would definitely solve the lump issue ?? Keep being you Jan, love your honesty and authenticity… Spring is just around the corner 🫶🏼🪴🍃🌴 Natalie
Sigh... me and my Ikea plastic plants 😂😂😂 I really love your videos! And your kitty! I wish I have time and patience (and green thumb) for real plants. I'd love to live in your house with all those plants!
My room is the only room that is a jungle, god I’m just so happy I found you on fb reels, cause 😍😍😍 I can literally just listen to you talk alllllll day
Gosh it's beautiful! If I could afford it I would cover this in luscious trailing plants and strings of things.. I hope you and your plants continue to enjoy it. :)
With my very tight pots I put a hole in the pot at opposite sides and make a loop with a clear cable tie so I can easily take it out. I have looked at The Forest so often. Thanks for your review. I am a little surprised they are set up for Leca as that design would be very hard to flash the minerals that build up on the Leca, and your also unable to see if there is any nutrients left in the pot. All of this could be easily fixed by Mother making the nib sit under the bottom of a flat base which would then allow better use for soil users.Semi hydro users could put there own clear pots within the black pot or pot directly if they want to. Hope that made sense
i've experimented a bit with semihydro and i think it sounds ridiculously difficult to use leca with the forest... they're implying you'd put leca straight into the pots, and then there would be no way for you to see roots or check the water level. sounds like a guessing game:P
To be fair they never said they designed them to be used with leca directly, I just implied that. Based on the design you’d probably want another pot insert & use the actual pot that came with it as just the cache pot. I gave them the feedback that the forest should come with the pot inserts but forgot to mention it when I recorded the video :)
Oh yeah, N'joy (and pearls and jade) have always been tricky for me to prop. If they root at all it takes FOREVER. I imagine you're right about it maybe having to do with the amount of light and where the light was actually hitting the props.. but honestly I struggle with those regardless 🤷🏻♀️ and with Micans I try to use cuttings that have those long aerial roots on them already because I've had issues rooting those at times as well. Anyway, such a fun video! Thanks for putting it together for us! Super helpful 👍💚
I don't have a ton of experience but I have succeeded by only having one leaf+ one node for each cutting, so basically chopping my cutting a lot into small pieces and all of them took. I also changed the water ever week
Love your jungle setup, very pretty! Enjoyed the review too, thanks for sharing. Looking forward to see the plant grow longer soon! The pitcher plant may be needs more water retentive media if you used your aroid mix. I know people grow them in sphagnum moss so may be needs more moisture to produce pitcher. Happy growing 😊

As a group, Nepenthes are divided into "Highland" and "Lowland" species, differentiated by growing above or below 3300 feet (1000 m). Carnivorous Plant growers with cooler growing conditions, especially in the winter, may have greater success with Highland varieties. Carnivorous Plant growers who can keep warmer winter conditions might prefer the Lowland types. Highland species tend to grow fewer traps, but they are more long lasting and sturdier than typical Lowland species. There are Intermediates and they are usually good growers for either winter type. They typically grow in the open, sunny areas, climbing up shrubs and trees, or in open grasslands. The soils are generally acidic and low in nutrients, sandy, volcanic and peaty.
I discovered Mother-Forest from this video and ordered one immediately from your discount link. I definitely agree with your points. I am an experienced builder and still struggled with the installation. It took my gf and I 4 hours to put this together because the instructions were unintuitive and clumsy. She had to calm my nerves at several instances. I showed her this video and she laughed about your frustration (not particularly at your frustration but more because we realize we were not alone). But once we got it up and running we love it! I then ordered an additional expansion bundle so I can install LED panels above the top pods giving it lights. One point I wish to add is Mother is super fast with shipping and the stuff got here within days from Belgium to Hong Kong. You can tell these people really cares about their service and products, and I am sure they will streamline their products as time goes on.
That’s great to hear!! & yes good point their fulfillment is great :) haha omg you should have seen the 2 hrs of footage I had to cut out :D a lot of swearing but I got there in the end !!:) happy growing !
Thanks for the time and effort you put into this video. I’m thinking of purchasing a couple 32w grow lights and will use your discount code. As always your content is great!
Excellent product review.!Too spendy for me, but if I could afford it, I would buy one based on your review. I have 2 large Njoy plants, that I propagate often. Sometimes good...sometimes not. I just rooted about 10 cuttings in water as usual and all, but 3 cuttings rotted. They don't like being messed with or repotted. Your Forest set up is goregous!❤🪴🌱🌴
I‘ve been wondering from the beginning why the have the golden knobs there… why can’t they find a solution that uses maybe magnets and a support around the pot rather? It would make their product useable for people that are not into semi-hydroponics as well.. The idea itself is great but just this tiny change would make it interesting for a lot more people
Yep it’s pricey!!! You definitely pay for the design aspect not just the actual functionality. I’ve seen more affordable options available out there :)
You can put Leca inside the pot with the "thingy" that pokes out, that way the nursery pot isn't unstable inside. It's very light and it won't let root be in contact directly with water that goes threw
It does looks great and hanging plants are perfect for it, I’m thinking Hoyas, however it is very expensive,you gave us great information ,on pros and cons.👍 💚🌱🌵☘️💚
I love love love how it look, but since there is a light at the top, the very top one should be centre so it spreads like more then reconfigure kinda like you have it now but only that one minor change at the top, I would think just to maximize the like from the top centre pot (when you reconfigure it)
It would be nice if they provided longer cords and bigger pots that could be switched out (with a larger base/light) and the option to add more pots so the entire space is used.
Hi 💫 I’m a recent new plant Mom and I’ve noticed you don’t put substrate on the bottom before placing in the plants ~ have I been wrong doing so all this time? I always add substrate then the plant then backfill but I like your way soooo much better. Although I don’t have Aroids, I have Hoyas, but does that matter? I love the Jungle so much and now I want one lol. Hope you’re having a wonderful day! 🙏🏻💫
No you’re doing it right :) I’m just used to potting up moss poles where I add the pole & the plant first, then the substrate for stability so I just developed the habbit to do it that way :)
@@sydneyplantguy Thanks so much. I’m slowly transitioning over to Pon in no drainage so that’s a new learning curve as well. Hopefully my home will be as plant cozy as yours is one day. 💫
Personally really enjoy the reviews on products you don’t just get to see and hear about them like some creators, you see the results they bring if any. Just remember the time and effort that goes into doing these videos, it’s not sit on your arse and talk about it he actually puts work in to show results over time. And if he makes a few dollars doing it good for him, we all need an extra nowadays.
Really interesting concept, Mother! Having a small dark home ive been looking around for constructions like this!! I wouldnt even mind the potsizes either cuz id just put smaller plants in there instead of on a shelf! But not being able to EITHER dim lights individually OR adjust the heights shocked me. It really has me doubting the vision behind the company if they are expecting to let customers pay the JACKPOT and be ok with them burning their precious plant babies for no reason :( (And no, lights off is no option, you buy lamps for a reason..)
Did you know I have a website?:) Check it out: www.sydneyplantguy.com/
Happy growing :)
You need a bit of clear packing tape on either side of the tight pot. Fold over the top so it sticks out like a little handle and then you can use the tape tabs to draw the inner pot out quite easily.
Such a simple and genius idea!
Brilliant thanks!!
I do this too. Works great.
theyre honestly trippin for wanting $699 USD for what it is 😅 i love that youre getting sponsors though, thank you for all the free info you give us ❤️
Looks nice. Would like to install one in my house, but... Don't think it's worth the $700. At $400-500 I might have been a buyer.

Thank you :) happy learning & happy growing :)
Gave me some ideas too. As in build my own for way cheaper, stronger, and flexible. I'm certainly too broke to afford such luxury😆
It looks lovely, truly does. They (Mother) are mighty ‘proud’ of their products in general. So overpriced especially in today’s economy. This could be diy’d fairly inexpensively.
If you have the skills you could definitely try and DIY something like this :)
I will be attempting doing the DIY. But not gonna lie, Forest looks very good.
I like it but way too expensive for what it is.
I loved this video, you are so funny and that forest is amazing. I would totally buy it if I could afford it, but it's ridiculously expensive so I never will. Also, I think Brad was amazing as always, he is my favourite youtuber
He did a good job supervising :) thanks :)

i actually prefer the look of cuttings in different mason jars with the light shining through. it looks very rustic aaand i love watching root growth
The price... no no never... 😂
It’s not cheap :P but maybe it gives people some inspirations for DIYs :)
I think white pots are more charming; for me it will brighten the space vis-a-vis color of the wall painting! brad missed you!
😂 don’t ever change. Your assessment is gold for Mother. I’ve never laughed so hard at a product review. Yes it’s you, but it’s most of us too. I wish i could paste a photo here because my cat was very interested in Brad’s activities and I snapped her photo checking him out up close. He’s a great co-star
Thank you :) co-star?? :O pretty sure he’s the main character & i’m co-starting :D
The pots need a little window at the side toward the bottom, so you know how much water is in your reservoir
Exactly what I was thinking. 👍
Honestly love love that you don’t put theses videos out in section it’s a whole long video with months of footage thanks for that I wouldn’t have the patience to wait 😅
hehe yes it's definitely challenging to stay patient but I think it makes for a better viewer experience to see it all in one :)
The review over a span of few months is fantastic, thank you!
Thank you :) proof is in the pudding after all :) gotta cook it first!!
I pray they check the system before it ships to ensure everything works, I’d be so upset if I went to all the trouble and one of the lights didn’t work, or etc. the pots are tapered at the top, don’t think I like that,
I recently tried rimless clear pots and quickly realized I couldn’t get them out of the cover pot, the person below mentioned putting a tape tab on the edge to pull it up with, imma try that!
So far all the products of theirs I have used came in perfect condition :)
@@sydneyplantguy yea, not like some of the cheap overseas products on Amazon lol real quality!
Check out the International Carnivorous Plant Society for Nepenthes care. They want distilled or RO water very low in nutrients
Awesome review thank you Jan. 👌💛
Thanks:)
If they could make the pots able to fit a 6” pot inside and the shelving adjustable to wherever you want to position it it might be worth paying But it’s too expensive for me. Great idea though
I keep forgetting you live in Australia and thinking south facing is perfect for lighting 😆
Yesss, just what this gloomy Thuesday needed! 🌱💚
Hope you’ll enjoy it :)
Looks great 🤩 Perfect for that narrow vertical spot, and the light is reflected off the side walls.
700.00 euro for a plant holder?????????????? Mother is loosing here mind hahhahahahaa
The forest is perfect for you and your apartment it certainly bought that corner to life.
Always enjoy your reviews as we always get proof is in the pudding results.
Can see that’s it’s a very well made product but the price would be way out of my league.
Love and hugs to Brad 💚
Thank you :)

I find that njoys tend to be the most difficult of pothos to prop. they are really tempermental compared to other pothos
I agree and yet i found one has slipped into a beefsteak begonia pot and rooted so i cut it from the mother plant and every now and again i wonder what is that strange leaf in my begonia.
Do bugs ever get into your home because of the plants ?
Hi! 👋
What is your irrigation system with the plants that have a moss post?
do you have a video explaining it?
Perfect for lux anthurium and anthurium pendant....
Great review Jan, a bit pricy but great if you can afford it.
Wow! I love how it looks like a permanent installation that was always meant to be there. Looks fabulous!!
AHHHHH My new mantra. Don't put it down put it away!! Hopefully it will stop my constantly losing things.
I LOVE the Forest! When I get wonky bottom pots i pour a little perlite in them to level things out.
I bought a wonderful wagon in a box. Talk about getting grumpy with putting it together. I adore the big rubber tire wagon though. I use it for so many things here.
i do the same with small leca hahha
Beautiful product but out of my price range
QUESTION....
I HEARD THAT CHANGING THE SOIL EVERY YEAR REALLY HELPS PLANTS GROW TO THEIR FULL POTENTIAL, IS THIS TRUE?
I wouldn’t be so strict and say ‘every year’ as it really depends on the plant and how fast it is growing. But repotting on a regular basis can help the clients :)
Super sophisticated product, on my wish list for sure! Great idea for trailers are hoyas👌 Thank you greatly for sharing, stay awesome, cheers!

Thank you Natalie :) i’ll suggest the magnet idea to them :)
Really enjoyed this video; your enthusiasm with the small & trailing plants was awesome! Thanks for sharing Jan!
Thank you :)
What is that glorious massive variegated plant sitting next to your table?? It’s mesmerizing
It’s a manjula pothos :)
@@sydneyplantguy that’s what I thought because of the colors but holy wow I didn’t know they could get that big!! Stunning! 💚
$1,200. Sorry, no way. Nice but ....
Maybe it can serve as inspiration & you can find a more cost effective alternative :)
Sigh... me and my Ikea plastic plants 😂😂😂 I really love your videos! And your kitty! I wish I have time and patience (and green thumb) for real plants. I'd love to live in your house with all those plants!

In my house have only dogs they have sofa, house dog, dog sofa but all prefere boxes like your cat

One point I wish to add is Mother is super fast with shipping and the stuff got here within days from Belgium to Hong Kong. You can tell these people really cares about their service and products, and I am sure they will streamline their products as time goes on.
That’s great to hear!! & yes good point their fulfillment is great :) haha omg you should have seen the 2 hrs of footage I had to cut out :D a lot of swearing but I got there in the end !!:) happy growing !
Thanks for the time and effort you put into this video. I’m thinking of purchasing a couple 32w grow lights and will use your discount code. As always your content is great!
Thank you :) happy growing !
Excellent product review.!Too spendy for me, but if I could afford it, I would buy one based on your review. I have 2 large Njoy plants, that I propagate often. Sometimes good...sometimes not. I just rooted about 10 cuttings in water as usual and all, but 3 cuttings rotted. They don't like being messed with or repotted. Your Forest set up is goregous!❤🪴🌱🌴
Thank you :) good tk know it’s the plant, not me :P hehe
I‘ve been wondering from the beginning why the have the golden knobs there… why can’t they find a solution that uses maybe magnets and a support around the pot rather? It would make their product useable for people that are not into semi-hydroponics as well..
The idea itself is great but just this tiny change would make it interesting for a lot more people
Agree :)
Thank you for the informative video as always, but the best part was the last 8 seconds. Melted my heart
Hehe thanks for all your support!! :)
Brad stealing the show as usual 😺
When I go to the link it says 8 lights at $1499.00. Whew
It is beautiful.
Yep it’s pricey!!! You definitely pay for the design aspect not just the actual functionality. I’ve seen more affordable options available out there :)
You can put Leca inside the pot with the "thingy" that pokes out, that way the nursery pot isn't unstable inside. It's very light and it won't let root be in contact directly with water that goes threw
absolutely love your ocb course of action(not to annoy you, i can be an extreme perfectionist),aesthetics is the most important 🍀
Bradles in a box!!! That's a cool cat supervisor! 😎😺📢
It does looks great and hanging plants are perfect for it, I’m thinking Hoyas, however it is very expensive,you gave us great information ,on pros and cons.👍
💚🌱🌵☘️💚
Thanks :)
How did you stack your mother spectrum grow lights?
I used the screw that is normally used to screw the light to the base plate :)
@@sydneyplantguy thank you!!
I love love love how it look, but since there is a light at the top, the very top one should be centre so it spreads like more then reconfigure kinda like you have it now but only that one minor change at the top, I would think just to maximize the like from the top centre pot (when you reconfigure it)
I guess I can wait until I finish watching your video, but just taking notes haha
I really do want this now! I want two of them on each side of my tv 😊
The way my mouth dropped at the price! I do love them tho!
💜💜
It would be nice if they provided longer cords and bigger pots that could be switched out (with a larger base/light) and the option to add more pots so the entire space is used.
Agree :) i know you can buy more pots separately but I’d love some bigger pot options !!
Hi 💫 I’m a recent new plant Mom and I’ve noticed you don’t put substrate on the bottom before placing in the plants ~ have I been wrong doing so all this time? I always add substrate then the plant then backfill but I like your way soooo much better. Although I don’t have Aroids, I have Hoyas, but does that matter? I love the Jungle so much and now I want one lol. Hope you’re having a wonderful day! 🙏🏻💫
No you’re doing it right :) I’m just used to potting up moss poles where I add the pole & the plant first, then the substrate for stability so I just developed the habbit to do it that way :)
@@sydneyplantguy Thanks so much. I’m slowly transitioning over to Pon in no drainage so that’s a new learning curve as well. Hopefully my home will be as plant cozy as yours is one day. 💫
AHHHH FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
This channel has gone downhill, it turned into a big giant sales pitch. Hope the money is worth it Jan
Quite the contrary, the content keeps getting better and it great to see all the new plant stuff in his new home!
Personally really enjoy the reviews on products you don’t just get to see and hear about them like some creators, you see the results they bring if any. Just remember the time and effort that goes into doing these videos, it’s not sit on your arse and talk about it he actually puts work in to show results over time. And if he makes a few dollars doing it good for him, we all need an extra nowadays.
I think it's great! Where else can you get an honest and realistic review of both the product and the process.
Lots of houseplant channels have gone that route.
So you'd rather him make content for free? He has a right to make money. He has bills just like you do. This type of mindset is weird.
Really interesting concept, Mother! Having a small dark home ive been looking around for constructions like this!! I wouldnt even mind the potsizes either cuz id just put smaller plants in there instead of on a shelf!
But not being able to EITHER dim lights individually OR adjust the heights shocked me. It really has me doubting the vision behind the company if they are expecting to let customers pay the JACKPOT and be ok with them burning their precious plant babies for no reason :( (And no, lights off is no option, you buy lamps for a reason..)
