The sterilization of the potting soil 100% works. I have worked as a scientist in biology for a couple of years. It is often done when studying plant pests to make sure that the effects are actually from the pathogen that you infected them with not with something already in the soil. But when done for a certain amount time at a certain temperature the soil will be biologically dead. So you will need to add all the nutrients back. Once again awesome for science maybe not for your houseplants.😅 anyways love your content ❤
@@CoquetFleur oh I’m pinning this so that the girlies learn!! Thanks for this input and thanks for watching babes !
👀👀👀👀 I sure won’t be doing this anytime soon…
Not a scientist and never used boiling water but I have baked my soil to get rid of gnats and add root supplements after when potting up plants.
You know your videos are amazing and i love watching them especially because they don't make me feel like I need to run out and spend money all the time. You make me laugh (love your sense of humor) but I can relax and enjoy the content. Very nice fresh perspective in a world that revolves around consumerism. Its really easy not to notice but hard to maintain self control when everything encourages everyone to go out and buy everything.
Wow thanks so so much for such a lovely comment!! And thank you for always showing up and engaging 💚
I took all my plants out of their Terra cotta pots and now they are thriving. Terra made my soil constantly hard and dry and stunted their growth. In the plastic pots they look happy and thriving and I don’t have to water them like every other day. 😀
"is not up for debate..." was my favorite part of the video 😆 I love it when people deliver incorrect information definitively 🤣😂🤣
Precisely why I didn’t even bother arguing, hopefully she learns and does better

🤣🤣🤣 I need to get this on a tshirt !!!
Pruning and terracotta pots totally depend on the plants and the conditionsssss yes 🙌🏽 Love your shirt! Promise not to super glue my plants haha
Hehehe I can see someone watched till the very end!! Thanks babes and I hope you enjoy the video
Pruning by removing the apex is fine. Just removing leaves does nothing for the growth of the plant
As a new plant parent, thank you for this video.
Navigating plant advice on the internet and especially TH-cam is the WILD WILD WEST. Literally you get advice varying on all ends of the spectrum and it is overwhelming to discern.
I think learning through experience is just the best and figuring out how your individual plants behave.
You are so right! We learn the most through experience
Each House and each room in a house is so different!
When sifting through advice on TH-cam… I like to look at these things:
- Do the plants look good
- Have they owned that specific plant for a while (preferably over a year)
- Is their climate similar to mine
👏👏👏👏 experience is the best teacher as they say
the glossy lid is unirionically an own and looks good on camera 👍🏼 lets get this
🤣🤣🤣 perhaps the next 2024 lid trend ?
Too shocked to speak! I’m here for that on a tee. Great video as always 😂
I’ve seen candle wax and hot glue also suggested. Hello Ebuka!!!
Can’t wait to see your succulents collection tour!! And YESSS!!! Too many have misconceptions about succulents. They need water just as much as any other plant. It’s just the watering needs are a bit different. It depends on the soil, pot and climate. I grow most mine indoors all year long and water every two to three weeks. (Succulents in Terra cotta pots) Occasionally I water after a month if I get busy. And terra cotta pots dry out faster and need to be watered more often than if you put in ceramic or plastic pots. I have found the succulents I plant in ceramic pots can go a month or more without watering. And usually I only bottom water those ones because otherwise if you water from the top the ceramic pots don’t dry out as quickly. And then root rot happens. Or the leaves “explode” and get translucent from sucking up too much water. It’s all bad. 😅
And of course you need fans to help with air circulation growing indoors otherwise your succulents will get powdery mildew. #ItsANightmare
Ok I’ve said enough. 😂
Can’t wait to see your collection!! ❤
No to Super glue....you are super right. Did it once after seeing that tip somewhere and saw disaster unfolding. You are a super plant dad.❤
Thanks for confirming this !! Hopefully you don’t do it again lol and thanks for the compliment dear
Thank you for Sharing your houseplants lovely collections 😎😎♥♥🇹🇹🇹🇹
Thank you ☺️
Super Glue! WTH just decided one day, "Let me put some super glue on my cutting."
Like !!!!?? Still baffling
Sterilizing the soil with hot boiling water is correct, but not right in the pot with plants , do it when you want to plant something else in the same soil , so after you finish harvesting from the plant and or the plant dies off just put the used soil in a bag after sifting it from roots and rocks and pour hot boiling water on it wrap the bag and leave it in the sun for a week , then you can add the needed nutrients and it’s good to use it again :)! I saw a japanese gardner do this here on youtube his name is noringo , it’s pretty amazing!
I totally agree with you. Really like your shirt. Your personality is even brighter than your shirt.
Thank you so so much
When I heard super glue I thought it was going to be about attaching epiphytic plants to stuff. Boy was I wrong lmao.
As an avid plant collector, I set up and care for fish aquariums 🐠.I use super glue gel to attach epiphytic aquatic plants to driftwood and rocks as these plants cannot be planted into the aquarium 🐟 substrate. Thread or fishing line may harm the aquatic plant growth. The glue gel does not harm the aquatic plants. Of course I do NOT use super glue on my house plants 😊
I'm going to have to disagree with the super glue comment. Coral frag glue for example is is used to grow sensitive coral and fundamentall becomes inert when dry. Meaning its not active enough to become phytotoxic. It coral frag glue is super glue. I have use it to seal cuttings and mount orchids.
Coral frag glue I’m assuming is organic? Super glue is all chemicals and synthetically made, no way that should be near your plants .
@@TheMillennialPlantDad It's ALL cyanoacrylate my friend. When it gets in touch with water its molecular bonds tighten (cures) instantly between 2 surfaces it is more toxic to humans than it is plants btw. Im talking the gas it let's off, once cured it's as toxic as fake fingernails. It becomes acrillic.
@@TheMillennialPlantDad Its all Cyanoacrylate my firend. It becomes acrillic and as toxic as false fingernails. Its fumes are toxic but when it dries it does nothing.
Water helps it cure fast a little goes a long way. Its situational if I want to hand the cutting fast I will use glue. If time is not an issue I would go for your suggestion as they have hormonal elements that are not inert.
Your aloe vera is a very natural alternative and has hormones an awesome recommendation and also cinnamon.
Good info. Thanks
Hey love can you make a video on plants that can withstand high heat. (No necessarily full sun) But the Arizona summer gets about 118° outside.
Snake plant triggers 😂😂My parents snake plant has never grown tall in 30yrs ...the snake plants should sue for neglect 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 30 years ??
OMGGGGGG I tried the superglue and I swore up and down I would NEVERRRRRRRRR EVERRRRRRRRR listen to some of these Tik Tok plant people ever again. I also seen another person use hot glue on the end of a XXL Monstera cutting …..and I had to log off! 😂
Yaas number 1!! we like before we watch!
Period!!! Thank you and I hope you enjoy watching
I so hate the term “neglect” for plants!
When grandma and grandpa advised to let soil dry out before watering…. They didn’t mean leave it bone dry for a week or longer and let the soil turn hydrophobic… 😅
Terracotta is such a hit or miss thing…. (Unless people live in a really wet climate)
Starting in plastic is so much safer and terracotta can still make a nice cover pot for those who like the look
Love the notepad 😂
(Wont use superglue on my plants 😉)
A comment full of wisdom!!
I absolutely love your content!
I cackle way too much during these videos. Your sense of humor is top notch 😂👌
Babes I live by the cinnamon...I don't use anything else
👏👏👏 same !!
I appreciate your videos. I definitely tried super glue and candle wax to “seal” my cuttings before smh listening to the internet 😂😂. I will definitely try cinnamon next time!
Oh you’re one of the guilty ones ! Security! Jk jk, yes babes cinnamon is way better
@@TheMillennialPlantDad lol yes please call the police on me because my common sense went out the window 😂😂
Oh, and to add. Pouring boiling water on the soil works great.
Our ancestors use to “bake” it in the sun.
Some of us live in locations where that sun baking is very limited.
All you have to do is replenish the soil with worm castings, bone meal and such. Or just add in slow release fertilizer or water the plants with water soluble fertilizer
Oh this makes sense. 👏👏
The first time I saw the super glue and boiling water, my mouth hung open 😲 I couldn't believe the shenanigans millennial planters come up with
I've seen the cinnamon tip a lot so I bought some today. 4 plants got root rot cause of me 🥺 but I cut it away and will use the cinnamon this time
I still haven’t fully recovered from the super glue one omg 😱
I know it sounds absurd, but it's true that super glue can be and is used on some wounds instead of stitches. So, maybe not so crazy
i use it on my own wounds bc my skin doesn't heal very well, and i have heard that it can be used with limited success in vet care for arachnids with wounds, interestingly enough. but i doubt it does much good for plants.
I think ZZ plant, I won't say "thrives on neglect", but definitely seems to do better when given a level of neglect. I mean, it is a plant that doesn't want you to water it the second the soil goes dry, it wants to wait a bit for you to wet that soil again. My friend had a huge one, she would water it maybe once a month and I was horrified but the plant was large and lush. By comparison, I am picking up Anthuriums on the daily to make sure I don't need to water any of them, they would not be happy being treated like a ZZ.
I've killed a ZZ plant with neglect 🙋🏽♀
Also, you're not alone, the eyelid cream thing totally happened to me in my last video🙃
I have too ! So yeah that probably rules them off, I didn’t even notice the eyelid thing on yours 😅😅
Saw the super glue stuff on TikTok..I was like on a living thing???? Justice for that plant 🥲
I still haven’t recovered from the shock of actually seeing that
I totally agree some of the videos are ridiculous 🫨 hot boiling water/ super glue 🤐🪴,thank for trying to help because there are plant 🌱 people out here that will try to these things 🫣
Super glue works for me. Cinnamon didn’t.
Hahahaahah that boiling water on a bucket of soil is like the biggest cup of tea no one wants to drink including your plant. I like big bushy plants some of the prop videos cutting something to bits for no reason makes me go Grrr.. Like a year or two ago you'd see someone get a cutting and it get new growth and the person would then cut it to bits making it a Frankenstien plant trying to then sell off the cuttings as a turn around then throw it back into a green house cabinet like it's a puppy mill stealing its kids for income.
Im surprised we didnt get a bonus with the boiling point.
..ICE ON ORCHID ROOTS! No tropical plant will appreciate ice on their soil or touching their roots!
I am guilty of pruning immature plants 😅Im just so excited to multiply my plants
As someone who is allergic to Cinnamon, I don't think it's harmless, and it's definitely not in my kitchen 😂😂😂
Oops 🤣🤣
The hot water one can eliminate pests, but it’s like hydrogen peroxide, you have to return the nutrients to the soil afterwards with compost or fertilizer. I’ve done it before in desperation, but the soil afterwards, if you don’t add fresh soil, bark, or what have you to it, has a clumpy texture that doesn’t breathe.
Exactly what I feared !! It does way to much damage and it is too drastic of an action to resort to in my opinion
They are about to block you for blasting the myths😂😂
Super glue omg 🤯😳
Another good video 📸
Thanks babes !!
Im trying to think of something nice to say. You are wrong on so many things but your heart is in the right place
Supafriggingglue 😂😂😂
ok TO BE FAIR, superglue has been a solution to attach air plants and corals to their substrates for years
I used the glue gun to attach tillandsias and a bromeliad to a wood mount and they are all putting out pups.
😂😂😂 hey to each his own
❤❤
Please i have a question though its out of context.
I've been trying to house plant for 6 months now and I've been trying to get good pootting mix for my plants here Nigeria. Please do you have any suggestions on how to get them
Yes 🙋♂️🤝👏
