HangOut WithMe; Yessssss, I was going to say the same thing to her in my mind..... I'm going to watch him more and learn from him....We all can learn from each other.....
I just discovered your channel and I freaking Love you. I am Jamaican and my house back home has a lot of plants but my step dad has the green thumb so I would buy plants and he takes care of them. 14 years ago I moved to the states and never bought plants because I was so busy. I started growing a couple plants (in love with Orchids) years ago and whenever my depression rolls in my plants would die. 6 moths ago I started reconnecting with plants. I realize that they really help with my depression because I refused therapy or meds. Now I have about 80 plants in my apartment. They make me extremely happy. Sorry I ramble when I get excited. So in short I love how excited u get when u talk about plants. Thank you for helping us with our babies.
First few minutes I thought, “Am I gonna learn something from this, I’ve done so much research on Birds of Paradise and mine looks pretty good.” But of course I learn something, I always learn some good tips from you. Thank you very much and keep up the awesome work
I’m taking notes. I just bought one and her name is Jackee Harry. Why ? I don’t know. She sits in my sunroom and I am patiently waiting for her to grow as tall as Rihanna. By the way, do you know anything about Yucca plants? I have a bunch and afraid that I am not giving enough love. I have 4 total, The Golden Girls , Vanity 6 (which includes a money tree) and Flo. They are low maintenance and Dope!
the browning wasn't necessarily under watering, it was the plant not being able to take up water because it was so root bound. These plants can actually handle very arid conditions.
Could be true but She did say it was dry as a Sarah’s dessert though. It’s obvious that she didn’t care for it so due to the lack of knowledge. Why I watch these videos everyday. I’m obsessed with my plants
This is an awesome video! I am a new plant mom who decided to start with a small white bird of paradise and this video is everything I needed to know. Believe it or not, I have been looking for this type of video for a few hours and so happy I found one like it.
That's a beautiful plant but they get really massive. Basically they turn into a jungle. That's not really an indoor plant. Unless your going to keep pruning it to keep it small.
Sorry, but can't join in the 'love in'. While the 'diagnoser' was friendly and charming, *his advice was dubious,* at best. Browning on _Birds of Paradise_ are mysterious, and in all the research I've done (as an amateur) on the internet I've never found any definitive answers. For him to say it's all down to _"...not enough watering..."_ is really questionable and certainly doesn't tell the whole story. He talks about trimming leaves, yet leaves one with a non-fixable bend / kink in it when he's supposedly finished the job? Throughout his segment, I have the impression *he's way more 'show' than 'substance',* much like just about everything on the Apartment Therapy website has become in the last few years☹.
How do you differentiate underwatering from the use of hard water as far as brown tips on leaves are concerned ? You are too cute and I love your love of plants.
I really love this show, I'm already looking forward to more episodes! I definitely could use a house call for my poor plants. If ever you plan to visit apartment homes in Paris please let me know! Waha
I was reading your comment and I was okay till you said Paris and I passed out. I'm so jealous. Water and mist your plants with rainwater or get a humidifier. Water them when they're an inch dry from the top.
This has made me feel way more confident as a new plant mom. I bought 2 birds of paradise and a Pothos and instantly became overwhelmed. Thank you for such an informative video 😊
I bought my BOP last year, she bloomed this year. She is a Golden. I find your video 100 percent effective. And am now more confident to care for her.Absolutely gorgeous plant!!
I just bought a small birds of paradise plant and the tag on the plant said it liked shade. So my question is, do I need to have it near a window or no?
Definitely place it wherever it can get the most light in your home. (So, yes, near a window with bright light). I’ve read that bright indirect light and direct light are great.
Thank you! It felt like you were making a house call for my bird of paradise. Now I will take amazing care of her and she will thrive! I may even give her a name. 😊
I have two (white) birds of paradise, both over 6ft tall. I got them several weeks ago from our local nursery, my husband and I spent about a month or so trying to find some at the right size ( and price ) definitely love these beauties :)
Good morning MELVIN.I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PLANT THAT MY GDAUGHTER GAVE ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY. IT DIDN'T COME WITH INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO CAFE 4 THE PLANT.I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SENT U A VIDEO OF MY BABY.O DON'T JALYNN 2 DIE ON ME.O MY NAME IS DORIS
Hopefully you will get this message and can respond. I have a bird of paradise that HAD 2 plants in one pot. It was a reduced price plant and was not doing very well. After 6 months I have or had it looking good and seem to be doing well until I did something stupid. I was taking it into my bathtub to give it a good rinse off on the leaves and then a healthy drink, but what did I do, I broke one whole plant off at the base. I was sick about it but it is what it is. My ?, is there a possible chance stalks can grow out of the base (it is like someone just sliced it off at the base) of it or do I remove the roots and not take any chance of a fungus invading that broken off plant. Do I just be patient and see if there will be any growth development out of the base of the broken plant. Thank you in advance for your response. Lynn
This can be a good presentation if the female owner can refrain from making unnecessary comments and irritating expressions like Wow Wow etc. and just let the Plant Doctor do most of the talking.
I wish you could help me with my bird of paradise! 😩 it has stunted growth and one of the leaves grew in like it had been chewed. Also what do you recommend for fertilizing?
Plant Doctor pleaseeeee talk about pests - every palm and bird of paradise I've had indoors gets some kind of pest :( What is your go to method to deal with that issue?
Dab the bug with cotton swab dipped in alcohol and then mist the plant with a little dish soap and water in a spray bottle. I heard if you raise the humidity the bugs don't like it so get a humidifier.
is there a solution to not repot the plant, i have one that is 5 feet just bought it and its difficult for me to do it on my own and also the roots will keep growing out so this means you need a bigger planter everytime , it is qlready really heavy and how will i manage with even more soil?? some way to keep it almost similar height???
What about the stem that was snapped? It was broken in the stem and falling over to the floor...shouldn't you cut that one too? Wont it die from being broken?
Hi! I’m loving your channel. I need to repot my girl but the clay pot I have her in does not have a drainage hole. Do I need a drainage hole if I repot in the terracotta pot?
An easy way to keep bugs away is mix some dish soap with water in a spray bottle and spray them it's mild and the bugs don't like the taste of it. I don't know if it necessarily kills them but it helps.
Please tell us the story about where it came from. Mine came from a big box store, had tattered leaves, several different bugs, had a leaf that was torn and need to be unfurled Etc. Now it has a gigantic brand new leaf.
My Son just bought a Rattle Snake Plant & I shared your video after searching Google for care. Can you advise me on my bonsai pine tree? At least it prickles me like a dry pine! Ouch. Can I save it??
When opening leaves on the BOP, use soap and water rather than your finger nail and the bind will just dissolve. The leaf will open perfectly (on it’s own time - don’t force it!) rather than be all ripped up
That plant is beautiful. I wonder why she didn't give off flowers. She is getting light so at last 1 flower should've appeared I would think. Good video. My 1st time seeing this guy. I'll watch more.
Congratulations, Hilton! You have great videos! Thanks! I live in the north of Ukraine in an apartment without the ability to take plants out into the air. Although my windows are southern, but in our region daylight from November to February 6-8 hours. I give the plants extra light, but still, some do not survive the winter and die. It used to happen that I watered excessively. Now I'm overdrying, but still, I have little success. The other day I bought such a bird in a coconut substrate, the roots are whole, not rotten. Do you think it can be transplanted now? And do you need to soak or shake the coconut substrate? Do I need to mix new soil with 'stones', lechuza ponom? Thank you!
That was SO helpful for me, thank you so much! My Bird of Paradise has really been struggling and causing tension in my household because of its condition. This video answered ALL of my questions and I can't wait to go and tend and care for my Bird of Paradise!! Thank you so much!
I have an approximate sizable bird of paradise palm that's about 7'-8' and it has grown off its bottom sides new palms. My question is,"When is it a good time of year to pull out to replant them in a different area?" Better yet, is there a vid out there that shows how to? Thanx.
Hi I’m a year late to the game. But oh my goodness u helped a million. Betty is still young but she is happy. Learning from u how to care fir her and all the other O2 givers I have. A million thank us. Peace be with u and ur family
Earlier this season I came across a white Bird of Paradise and I've been wanting one soooo bad ever since seeing that plant. It was $36 and that was out of my price range -- but I'll have one someday! I'm thinking a dwarf because I don't have as much room as Susan here did lol. Great video!
I love him. More of this dude. Such a sweet, pleasant knowledge man. 💗🌱
HangOut WithMe; Yessssss, I was going to say the same thing to her in my mind..... I'm going to watch him more and learn from him....We all can learn from each other.....
Crap. Now I want a bird of paradise.
🌱💚💸
Great vid! I think I may under watering my BOP as well
Just got one and is one of my favorite, I’m very new in plants
do it!!! they're beautiful!!
@@ThisDorkyAZN Thank you for the encouragement. I'm doing it!
Hahaha I feel ya. I feel ya
My plant sent me this video !

How about a video on basic equipment to have on hand. Hey Plant Doctor what's in your bag?
That's a great idea!
I found that wrapping a wet, warm paper towel around an unrolled leaf , it will open on its own.
First few minutes I thought, “Am I gonna learn something from this, I’ve done so much research on Birds of Paradise and mine looks pretty good.” But of course I learn something, I always learn some good tips from you. Thank you very much and keep up the awesome work

Carline Daniel jackee harry! 😂😂 I love it!
Ha. I have one and her name is Penelope.
Love it! My girl is Nina Simone 🎼🖤
The names!!!!! I love it!!!
OMG I love the names you’ve given your plants.
OMG!!!!! I just learned how to open one of my leaves from my huge bird of paradise!!! Thank you so much!! My plant was so happy!
the browning wasn't necessarily under watering, it was the plant not being able to take up water because it was so root bound. These plants can actually handle very arid conditions.
Yes, I was thinking the same thing.
His 'diagnosis' seemed doubtful, at best.

Wow this was a beautiful journey &the plant mom seemed genuinely grateful ❤
The sheer size of that beautiful plant!! 😍😍😍
This is an awesome video! I am a new plant mom who decided to start with a small white bird of paradise and this video is everything I needed to know. Believe it or not, I have been looking for this type of video for a few hours and so happy I found one like it.
Trying your advice on my Zee,zee (I think that's the name). Anyway, it seams to be working because the next move was the trash. Thanks
That's a beautiful plant but they get really massive. Basically they turn into a jungle. That's not really an indoor plant. Unless your going to keep pruning it to keep it small.
“It’s like the Sahara desert” 😂😂😂 hahaha so cute
My problem is how to water these huge plants. They’re so heavy!!
Love that his “plant language” was simple and plain, to the point! Loved this! Thx
Sorry, but can't join in the 'love in'.

Majestic palmmm pleaseeee!! Or you can film the episode at my place in LA with my majestic palm that needs Help
THE BEST SERIES!!!!
Him: unravel
Her: wow wow wow wow wow
😂😂 I like her voice
She could be a younger version of Lillian from Unbreakable Kimmie Schmidt
ahahaha i totally see it 😂
I really love this show, I'm already looking forward to more episodes! I definitely could use a house call for my poor plants. If ever you plan to visit apartment homes in Paris please let me know! Waha

Finally answers. My baby birds of Paradise is showing me brown tips. Sounds like she needs more water. TY!
Amazing!!! Exactly what I wanted to know about how to care for my Birds of paradise
I really enjoyed this video!!! Your plant is gorg!!! 😍❤️
Couldn't you just rotate the pot around instead of repotting the and moving the plant?
This has made me feel way more confident as a new plant mom. I bought 2 birds of paradise and a Pothos and instantly became overwhelmed. Thank you for such an informative video 😊
I bought my BOP last year, she bloomed this year. She is a Golden. I find your video 100 percent effective. And am now more confident to care for her.Absolutely gorgeous plant!!
Tell us where you keep your plant I heard they don't like to bloom indoors. I'm so jealous you have a colored one mine's white.
I kept it out beside my pool in the summer on my deck
SO are you there going to be more of these house calls? :D
Love it. But soil, and dirt are two distinctly different things. No plant deserves dirt.
great video!
Just discovered you!!! I love plants!!! Thanks!!! My bird of paradise is outdoors! ❤️ do you only address indoor/house plants?
Such a gorgeous plant! I have a tiny strelitzia with 7 leaves, I wonder how many years it will take to get that big!
I just bought a small birds of paradise plant and the tag on the plant said it liked shade. So my question is, do I need to have it near a window or no?
Definitely place it wherever it can get the most light in your home. (So, yes, near a window with bright light). I’ve read that bright indirect light and direct light are great.
Yes absolutely this was really nice to watch and very informative. Love the format and the energy from everyone :)
Oh man that fingernail unfurl tip is massive.
Thank you! It felt like you were making a house call for my bird of paradise. Now I will take amazing care of her and she will thrive! I may even give her a name. 😊
Just bought a BOP because partner wanted it. Now I’m trying to find out as much as possible about it.
I thought we were at Liz's -- from Gilmore Girls -- apt for a sec.
Melodie Gibson omg i was thinking the same thing 😂
@@foreveramyleigh I'm glad I'm not the only one! lol
Does that same "use your nail technique " work with a Majesty Palm??
Your majesty palm will love a humidifier or misting it with rain water everyday
I have two (white) birds of paradise, both over 6ft tall. I got them several weeks ago from our local nursery, my husband and I spent about a month or so trying to find some at the right size ( and price ) definitely love these beauties :)
Thank you for all of your information it has been very helpful. Can you shed any light on purple hearts indoors? Thank you.
Good morning MELVIN.I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL PLANT THAT MY GDAUGHTER GAVE ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY. IT DIDN'T COME WITH INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO CAFE 4 THE PLANT.I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SENT U A VIDEO OF MY BABY.O DON'T JALYNN 2 DIE ON ME.O MY NAME IS DORIS
I have a question! Some of the leaves on my bird of paradise have some brown spotting/yellowing on them. What should I do?
Did you simply use miracle grow potting mix? And what fertilizer to use
How often should I water my Bird's of Paradise plant? (It has 3 big leaves right now)
Hopefully you will get this message and can respond. I have a bird of paradise that HAD 2 plants in one pot. It was a reduced price plant and was not doing very well.

I love watching your videos I hope my Bird of Paradise does well I’ll know if it survives the winter months.
Loved the video! 💚🌴🌱
I'm curious what kind of bag that is you have! What is it called and where can I get one?! Also, great video!
And How much does he Charge for this??!! Ridiculous!
"woooooowww....woooowww" :D :D don't get why you're not talking about curled leaves?!
I wish I saw this before my bird of paradise died.😢
How aggressively can you prune back a bird of paradise that has outgrown its indoor space?
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼💚🌿☘️🌱🍀
Awesome Bird of paradise 👍👍

so cute. I have two of them...Their names are Sir Bob Marley and Sir Peter Tosh
Country, city, average temperature, Rain, sunlight?
Hi! I’m loving your channel. I need to repot my girl but the clay pot I have her in does not have a drainage hole. Do I need a drainage hole if I repot in the terracotta pot?
What if I planted my BOP in a pot that's too big? Can a transplant to a smaller pot or will that cause problems?
Can’t wait for my BOP to get this big. Her voice is cute and raspy! ❤️
Love these videos!!! Super helpful. Would love to see something about maintaining large palms and keeping the pests away. Also, propagating fittonias.
An easy way to keep bugs away is mix some dish soap with water in a spray bottle and spray them it's mild and the bugs don't like the taste of it. I don't know if it necessarily kills them but it helps.
I didn't know you can grow birds of paradise indoor, thanks for sharing 👍👌
I just bought a very very veryyy neglected Bird of Paradice. It is my first B.o.P. so this one was very helpful.
Please tell us the story about where it came from. Mine came from a big box store, had tattered leaves, several different bugs, had a leaf that was torn and need to be unfurled Etc. Now it has a gigantic brand new leaf.
This guy is gorgeous. Is there a plant or tree that's being discussed in the video?
Why would you not thin out the broken & bent stems? it was obvious that needed to be done.
How about cutting back some of the roots before putting it in the new pot?
10 out of 10 !!!!!! Would recommend
I really enjoyed this video!
I love rihanna!
AWESOME video!!🌿
I love him
My Son just bought a Rattle Snake Plant & I shared your video after searching Google for care.
Can you advise me on my bonsai pine tree? At least it prickles me like a dry pine! Ouch. Can I save it??
fingering plants to verify if is wet , seems like an old thing for me
When opening leaves on the BOP, use soap and water rather than your finger nail and the bind will just dissolve. The leaf will open perfectly (on it’s own time - don’t force it!) rather than be all ripped up
What makes their leaves wrinkle around the
That plant is beautiful. I wonder why she didn't give off flowers. She is getting light so at last 1 flower should've appeared I would think. Good video. My 1st time seeing this guy. I'll watch more.
Hi! Thank you for such useful video. Can you, please, tell, why did one leaf brake? I have such situation on my bird of paradise
Congratulations, Hilton!
You have great videos!
Thanks!

How do you handle a bent leaf of the BOP?
Gravel or rock in the bottom of pot before the soil ? Yes or No
My BOP is birde.......and lets just say if theres a fire, im grabbing birdie and im out.
She’s my most prized possession
Lovely 🌱
My Anthurium plant’s leaves are getting brown cut marks on the leaves please tell me some remedies for that....
Mist it with rain water every day or get a humidifier. I also heard fertilizer can burn the tips.
I need a house calls for my 28 year old plant
Wow that thing is massive!! She's beautiful!! I think the only real problem was that she outgrew her pot and needed a bigger one
It's May 2023 and this is exactly what I needed to find! I'm about to save my indoor bird of paradise because of this video. thanks Hilton!!
