I love your videos, so informative but also encouraging for newbies like me to just give things a try to figure out what works. I'm starting out with an adansonii and an alocasia dragon scale but after watching your videos I'm definitely going to be getting more climbing plants and making some moss poles!
Hi Jan, great video as usual! It would be awesome if a plant spotlight video is going to be made on your thai constellation. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Another interesting video. I personally enjoy it when you wander “off topic“ a bit and share your thoughts and opinions about the hobby in general. Thank you for continuing to share your beautiful collection with all of us.
But I love when you do therapy sessions! Lol don’t stop- sometimes it’s nice and refreshing to hear you speak of simply growing plants for enjoyment and being content! I love it. Thank you!!
Great video on the necessity of chopping your plants when grown on a moss pole. It’s amazing to me that you still have to defend your process with the your level of success. Your method works!!! Love how Brad keeps photo bombing the video to get your attention lol
I really appreciate you sharing your experiences with your collection. Even though we all have different growing environments there is much to be learned from other growers. Thank you 😊
I just acquired my first Dubia. Can’t wait to make its D shaped moss pole and start its journey. Plant therapy is the best therapy!! I’d like to put my vote forward for a transformation video on your mican !?
Seeing your amazing collection really calms my mind, It looks gorgeous! I believe foliage plants are really elegant and in your case you are keeping them in the best conditions so they couldn't look better
Great video Jan! I was so excited to see this, since this is my current favourite plant. You're right in that it grows SO quickly, it's crazy! I got the tiniest little vine of it and I'm so proud because the leaves keep growing bigger and bigger. I'll definitely take your advice on using bigger poles! :)
Im saving this vid in Plantation list of my Yt channel & taking it as answer of my question in one of your last vid about how to grow aroids in small pot.. Im a beginner, have only about 14 kinds of aroids & have just subscribing your Yt channel yesterday, but have seen your reel on Fb many times. Very much useful for my plants. Thank u so much!❤️
The reason why your plants are so successful is because you have natural high light and lamps. For me, I have many Monsteras and other climbing aroids. However, I don't get that high indirect light like you do. I guess I have to move to a much brighter, spacious space for my plants. Good for you bobo!!
The weather is quite different here in UK but I've learnt so much from you. I always buy my moss poles ready made to. Can't wait to give your method a try. I'm already looking at more plants to get thanks to you :) Do you have an upload schedule by any chance? Got excited when I saw your new video pop up. I'm so glad I found you. You, your plants and your big kitty are amazing.
Honestly, thank you for all the input and tips and tricks setting up those poles and on overall care. I gotta admit: I enjoyed my plants before as well. Yet, quite frankly, they started growing SO much better and give me so much joy each morning right after waking up, looking at their progress, their leafs getting bigger, finally looking really "happy" since I incorporated some of your advice into my plant journey. They are far away from getting big leafs like that but I really don't care anymore :) I'm happy with their small but consistent progress. I'm so glad my favorite plant shop told me to "look for that Sydney guy on IG" a year ago 🤣
Sydney Plant Guy and a cat name Brad 🪴😺💛Thank you again for another informative video. You made me lol when you said "...plus I love chopping..." Therapy sessions are good for the soul. Have a wonderful day. ps seen videos of you with your beard and now I know who you remind me of, a young Andrew Lincoln.
I'm so glad I live in gloomy UK otherwise I would be highly motivated to grow my plants like yours (I'm not a fan of living in a greenhouse either so make do with what the UK has to offer - not much sun or heat most of the year, lol). As always, thanks for a great video and the Brad content 💙. Btw, I didn't notice the background noise, too focused on Brad 😂.
Crazy! I felt kinda meh about the Dubia until now seeing your monster! I love shingling plants, but didn’t like how the leaf size escalation. (Prefer Rhaphy Hiya symmetry). Seeing those fenestrations, AMAZING!
Because of how big the bottom half is you should keep it when you do the next chop to see the difference of top growth. Also if that’s the biggest it would get then it makes sense to keep the bottom where you already have big leaves, but I also get changing it out because then you always have newer beautiful leaves.
Thanks for the information, but you know, still I like the leaves without fenestration !especially dubia. I'm having one, praying don't grow very fast 😂.
Lots of good information in this video. I have rescently found air layering works much better for me verses chop and rerooting in water. I think you just hit on the reason why this is so. I am not really set up to grow my plants like yours. I love the look of your growing system tough. Two years does not seem like a long time at all to get a plant to mature like you do. I would say you know what you are doing when it comes to plant growth. Beautiful.
Love your channel and started to make some moss poles ☺️ can you tell me in what increments you give your plant nutrients and especial with the aroid mix you use? 🙈 thank you, lover your content!!
OMG!! If this Monstera Dubai was a human child, he’d be eating you put of house and home!! Since this M. dubia is growing so fast, it seems like you might need to rethink future management of the potting of the plant that is the bottom of the moss pole. Would you: --move to a larger than the usual sized clear pot (20 cm diameter, I think?) --look at a fabric pot which is suppose to “air prune” the roots, --donate the plant to an indoor greenhouse (In Houston, TX (USA) at the Hpuston Museum of Natural Science, there is th Cockrell Butterfly Center which is essentially a rainforest conservatory complete with waterfall, a bazillion butterflies & resident huge iguana.) --other option not mentioned above.
Recently got my first monstera deliciosa. It was fully juvenile, as I like bringing them up from tiny little things. When it got it's first fenestration I was showing everyone. . Then my cat broke the leaf off 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ It
It would be beneficial for you to put the links of the things that you say you use so we know where to buy it. That's what I was looking for specifically. Just saying.
Such a great idea with the half/D pole. Where do you buy the back of it/the plastic part? Or what’s the material called? I’m also in Sydney. :) thanks in advance love your work!
I have a question away from topic of the video if I may. I wonder if you have ever tried your moss pole method with el choco red philodendron? I want to put mine up on a moss pole but am not sure if it would attach bc its arial roots are tiny.
Hi Jan, can you please show us, in one of your next videos, the size and quantity of the hole(s) in the cap of your watering bottles? greetz from munich
What a difference between immature patterened shingling leaves and adult form! Both versions of your dubia are beautiful, and those roots ! ....but I think Brad does not appreciate it...he was stomping all over the place 😾
Hi all,
I had a few mic issues recording this video resulting in a bit of background noise. Apologies for that. Hope you still enjoy the video :)
Again, you blow the waters out of all these ‘influencers’ , thanks to your methodology and no-nonsense approach. Hats 🎩 off to you!!! ❤
Thank you :)
We all need a regular therapy session, thanks Jan and Brad 💕 Love seeing that tail tip walking past.
Thanks :)

You leave me speechless! I never think that a adult Dubia looks like this!!!!😯
I swear I'm never not impressed by your dedication and hard work. beautifully done SPG. hope "Bread" is doing well
Thank you :)
I think it's brad.......
Love this video. Including your sermon on enjoying the journey. So important. Thank you, Jan!
Thanks :)
Love love your videos 😍 it's always nice to see your plants going from a small cutting to these beasts 🌿 super inspiring as always, thanks 😊
Thank you :)
Hi Jan, great video as usual!
It would be awesome if a plant spotlight video is going to be made on your thai constellation.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
Thank you :) thai con will definitely get her turn soon :)
Brad looks like a sentry guard. Roaming around protecting the plants 🤣
my two cats regard floor plants as their personal buffet.
WOW JUST WOW. Got a 5 leaf Dubia and this is beyond inspiring to me. Like wow
My dubia is sizing up well. Thank you for this. Your good at what you do.
Thanks :)
I love that you speak to your cat like he’s human! I do the same thing with my dogs and my friends make fun of me. But he understands me 😎
Of course !! He’s part of the family :)
Love watching your videos! I learn so much. Loving the Monstera Dubia! I have never seen it like how you grow it! Great job! ❤️
Thanks :)
Great work as always Jan, informative but never too much information to process. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you :)

Thank you :)
Hi from NZ, I've been inspired by you to make and put all my aroids on way bigger moss poles and water with your top down method 🤞Yey for Spring!
Thanks :) happy growing season!!
Thank you for sharing an amazing plants and video awesome lovely plants beautiful collection

Thank you, my dubia is still in juvenile form but I am potting it up correctly in the next couple of days
I just acquired my first Dubia. Can’t wait to make its D shaped moss pole and start its journey. Plant therapy is the best therapy!! I’d like to put my vote forward for a transformation video on your mican !?

I almost didn’t believe you until you came with the receipts 😂 . Wow!
Again I'm Ct from Malaysia..going to close my eyes..🤩🤩🤩

Great to hear :) thanks :) I try to upload every Tuesday & Friday
It's amazing. I want to come to your home. And see your plants collection especially monstera and Philodendron. I'm very fond of them.
Thanks :)
New follower from Malaysia! Your plant is so gorgeous! Heard about you from a local FB plant group to learn how you grow big plants and big leaves!
Thanks :)
I love the therapy session. Also, Hi Brad!!!!!!!!
Thanks :) & meow !!
Therapy session! 😂😂😂

Ya orange tabbies are big babies and need lots of love. If you're holding him when your videoing I wouldn't mind.
Amazing!
I Love yours videos.

love your cat .. but still have to buy dubia 😍
Великолепные растения! Замечательный кот!)

This is probably the only plant I prefer the juvenile leaves of tbf ..the juv and adult plnts look like they could be different species
I like them both :)
Please upload a video about D Shape making process 😊
I just get them from Grow Vertical :) linked in description
Curious, did you stick it right in the pole? Or did you put it in the pot and let it climb?
It looks amazing, would you ever put two vines or section or the M.D. together? I think it would look very full.
I often double plant my poles but like this more simple look for my dubia :)
This plant is so beautiful! What fertilizer do you use? How often do you water and how often do you add fertizer?

I fertilise weakly weekly (5ml/litre)

20cms :)
Do you make your own moss poles or u buy them? Will a long and slim(-ish) wood plank/stick work just as well?

I have given it a larger pot since this video :) it definitely needed a little more room :)
Best moment: 18:23 🤪
Recently got my first monstera deliciosa. It was fully juvenile, as I like bringing them up from tiny little things. When it got it's first fenestration I was showing everyone. .

I buy things in store, not online so there aren’t links for everything :) if there are, i include them in the description :)
Such a great idea with the half/D pole. Where do you buy the back of it/the plastic part? Or what’s the material called? I’m also in Sydney. :) thanks in advance love your work!
I just used the normal mesh I use for my poles but have recently actually converted it to a Grow vertical (on instagram) pole with the plastic backing
I have a question away from topic of the video if I may. I wonder if you have ever tried your moss pole method with el choco red philodendron? I want to put mine up on a moss pole but am not sure if it would attach bc its arial roots are tiny.
I haven’t tried myself but I have seen them grow on poles online :)
How to spot thrips and deal with them? Perhaps this can be a video request from me? :)
I address this in next fridays video actually :)

@@sydneyplantguy Danke Dir! :)
why do your monsteras not flower? and how do you get them to flower? Ive seen some really small monsteras flowering
I believe I cut them too frequently to be flowering
@@sydneyplantguy ahh cool, love ur videos man they’ve really helped me since I’m new to plants
Do they export gt to philippines..
I think they do but u’re better of checking with the brand directly :)
how do you get the moss poles to be so sturdy? the ones ive tried to make is leaning like the tower of piza with external suport xD
You’re probably not using a wire mesh?:) the mesh should be strong enough to stand up by itself
I am just curious how u got into aroid. What was your hobby before growing aroid ( besides your cat)?
My plant hobby started with aroids & i just never looked back hehe :)
how do you make the poles?
Check out my Moss Pole tutorial for more info :)
What size pots do you purchase?
10,14 & 20cms
"there's always gonna be somebody who got a larger plant than you"
well this can be applied to many things 👀

Так, ты либо волшебник, либо сказочник🤔😄
Are you from Germany originally?
I am :)
Yeah, I thought I heard something like that 😉
What a difference between immature patterened shingling leaves and adult form! Both versions of your dubia are beautiful, and those roots ! ....but I think Brad does not appreciate it...he was stomping all over the place 😾
Brad wanted all attention on him :P
I don't think this guy has a small pole...
