Hello, I thought I would come back here to give my input on this acclimation process if anyone is skeptical. I imported 8 plants on Oct 6 and followed these steps exactly (also added a bubbler when water propagating), and I was able to acclimate 7 out of 8 plants which was amazing! (the one that died I thought id experiment with moss acclimation and it rotted lol) Overall this method worked very well for me with some tough to acclimate plants like El Choco Red and Verrucosum. Since then, I now have all my plants with amazing root systems and all pushing out new growth! highly highly recommend this method.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with me!! I’m so happy it worked for you- I know my methods aren’t for everyone and a lot of people roll their eyeballs into their skulls when they watch me acclimate plants, but honestly this has been the only thing that has worked for me too. Thank you for trusting me! I appreciate you ♥️ you made my night!
You seem to be the only drama 😂 I’m doing just fine over here staying in my own lane taking care of my plants the way I want- you should probably do the same! Happy holidays!
I have an order coming in from ecuagenera and I’m so happy I found this videos. It’ll be my first import and this has given me guidelines in what I’ll have to do! I’ve watched other videos but they were not as in depth as this. Awesome job That cleaning section though..Your attention to detail is top notch!
Gosh, I love these videos so much and listening to all of your insight. The knowledge you have shared has seriously made me a better plant parent and I’m so glad I found you on IG!
Aww thank you Oubon!! There was a lot of debate on IG about what the tool was. Lots of people insist its a cuticle scraper, the other half say earwax scraper. But finally had it confirmed it was a scraper. 😄 But now... chonk cleaner. Hahaha
Amazing video! I’m picking up some Ecuagenera plants at a pop up in 2 weeks so your vid is a huge help. Loved watching your process also your work station is super cute 💚
love and absolutely agree with everything you said about importing plants and how they are not gonna be instagram perfect when you first get them! a good understanding of these types of plants and how to acclimate them is so important. with lots of patience and care, that plant will show you love in return by pushing out healthy roots and beautiful leaves 💚
I love your response to the spiders. I have a small species that has make its self welcome in my greenhouse. Often the make a small web where the petile meets the leaf and they do their fair share of work on the pests!
I love your videos. They're always so relevant and honest. I'm doing my first import order this month and am super anxious about the whole thing and this video was comforting because you showed us how to treat and acclimate these plants, that you normalize and emphasize that they could arrive dead or near dead, and that even if they arrive near dead, you can successfully bring them back to life with the right steps. I'm hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. Btw. I do hear the camera focusing but it really doesn't bother me (even while watching with headphones). I think the sound quality of your vids is great!
Thank you so much for your kindess!! Have you received your imports yet? Would love to know how that went! Please feel free to ask questions anytime, I'm always happy to help if I can! 🧡
@@unplantparenthood Thank you, that's so nice of you! I haven't received them yet, I think they are supposed to arrive just before Canada Day. I am debating between putting them in water like you did or sticking them straight in perlite as I see some other people do that. Have you tried perlite for imports before?
Thank you for that about the plant potchers I would have never thought that idk mayb cause the plant community is friendly nice n cool it’s easy to forget there are always gona those bad ones. So I’ll definitely keep in mind love ur videos.
Yaaas! Weekend treat again! This is such a great video to see how you deal with imports - Imported for the first time from Indonesia 2 month ago (p.dark lord) and he arrived in good shape despite being stuck in customs for 2 weeks and the temperature dropped to the singles. They got the red roots and it was so difficult to see what was rotted, etc, but like you I squished away anything soft and mushy. Now it's pushing out a new leaf and I'm so happy I could wet my knickers! I've recently acquired a bloody massive Gloriosum rooted cutting, it's the round form and looks unreal. I didn't realise it would be so big - a metre tall and the leaves are ginourmous, but have popped it in leca and pon hoping this will get more roots going. The best leaf is slowly yellowing, so I'm not sure and I've had it now for 2 weeks. I'm way in over my head hahaha.
Wow- I can't believe that Dark Lord survived that shipment! I guess it really lives up to its name 😂 Also WOW a giant round form?! Sounds like heaven!! My guess for the yellowing is it's probably just adjusting to its new environment, and if it previously had soil/moss roots and is now in LECA and pon, it's also adjusting to the change of substrate. But in my experience gloriosums are suuuuuuch a pain when they're separated from the mother plant, but once they get reestablished they grow back pretty fast and vigorously. You'll do just fine!! 💪
Cleaned a chonk recently after a pastazanum I bought a few months ago took a nose-dive when the moss started to degrade... less than a week later, and it's pushing out roots from 4 different nodes that were all inactive before!
I really found this video helpful! It's helpful to see the process of rehabing, dealing with root rot in shipment. I had a Mamei that had a yellow/black chonk but growth from it ok. I'm now regrowing it in perlite and feeling unsure of myself. So thank you! Also, your insight is so helpful and thoughts on sustainability.
Yu are a beautiful soul! Enjoyed this immensely! We imported too, my chonk rotted but once I chipped it, my el choco went nuts! Wish I had seen this before! 💕
I have a nangaritense, and a fuzzy petiole, and it looks like they sent your friend the latter. They get confused or substituted a lot for nangaritense. Fuzzy petiole don't get the beautiful peachy coloring on the new leaves, but do get reddish backs on their new leaves that fades as they mature. It's not as flashy as say, an el choco red, but still pretty. The leaves have a more spade-like shape too It's def a very common one, and not as valuable as the nangaritense. If I'm right, you might want to take it up w the importer. Hope it all works out, and it really is the plant she wanted. 💚😊
Question: Doesn't Dr. Bronner's leave a film on the leaves? I know that it does when i use it on my skin so was a little bit worried about using it on my plants.
Did you say "that was expected" like the patriciae doesn't ship well? I just made my first order from the US location. Not that plant, but I'd like to get one next time maybeeeee.
Oh goodness. I have a Choco and a Verrucosum 2 coming from Ecugenera in a couple weeks. I should go water, then to moss til rooted-ish, then to aroid mix? Your long form videos are fantastic btw. Suuuuuper helpful.
I'm sorry for the super late reply, but it was actually sold to me as an A. AOS x Dark Mama (although I doubt that parentage) -- besseae is on my wishlist though!
Hi Charmain! I got a baby Queen Anthurium from Ecuagenera (from their Florida warehouse), but it was potted in soil. Can I do the same thing to acclimate once I remove all the soil?
To be honest, I'm not the best at identifying all the types of gloriosums because I feel like they all look so similar and change with each leaf. If I had to take a wild guess, I'm going to say dark form!
I'm picking up my first import tonight and this video helped SO much! I'm picking up an Anthurium and wondering when you would recommend that I start fertilizing it? and how often should I fertilize it? I will be following your process, including adding the mycro :)
I use DYNOMYCO, but it is tiny cream/tan colored beads. Your Mico looks more powdery and darker almost black. Do you use something else or add something to it? Thanks
Watching this in preparation for an order from Ecuagenera I have coming in about a month, and wondering what about the roots made you say they had to go?? They all looked decent (visually) to me… so wondering how you tell when they need to be removed??
It's kind of hard to explain without you being able to feel and see them in person, but after a few times importing you just kind of know by looking at them if those roots will make it. But aside from that, my importing style is that I just like starting over if I can and growing the entire root system from scratch. But if you're importing for the first time, I would just start by cutting off anything that is mushy and soft and just leave the rest! It's kind of nice to be able to experiment yourself and sort of observe the growth from the roots to see in the future which kinds of roots should or shouldn't be chopped off at the beginning of acclimatizing it. I hope that makes sense!
Just a heads up! You're pretty much guaranteed to receive greenhouse/export grown Philodendron and Monster from Asian sellers as there are no native Philodendron or Monstera to Asia. However, mature Rhaphidophora and Epipremnum can be extremely sketchy as they're native and can be easily poached, the same goes for Asian begonia species.
Thank you for sharing that info! I super appreciate it. I actually didn't know that about epi's and rhaphi's, but will definitely keep that in mind for future imports now. Poached plants are a BIG no!!
I'd say that typically the first new growth that is grown in my care is usually more stunted in size, unless it was already on its way out when it was shipped. I've only had maybe less than a handful of times where the new growth was larger!
Hi! I actually have a video on my channel called “let’s talk soil” where I go in depth about my soil mixture :) also I wouldn’t say glass vessels are the best, it really just depends on what you prefer! I just have a lot of luck using no drainage pots and they’re much easier for me to maintain.
I want to order from Ecuagenera, but the only two options for payment is PayPal or Wire transfer. Can someone please inform me which is the safer/ better option you chose? I really want to order, just unsure about payment. Thank you!
Always PayPal! And make sure you pay via goods and services that way you’re protected and can file a claim with PayPal in case anything happens or there’s a dispute later on!
I was wondering what's in the jar with The Wooden Spoon the brown it looks like some kind of sand or something. I just subscribed to your Channel... further on in the video you name the substance in that jar and it begins with an M but I don't know how to spell it or why you used it
Hi Kathleen! It’s actually mycorrhizal inoculants. :) I’m not the best at explaining how it interacts with plants, but a quick google search will give you a pretty simple run down. I use Dynomyco brand 🖤
@@unplantparenthood thanks for the info I found over and near my home that also has 7 other or a total of seven helpful fungi in it I'm I'm wondering if I can use it on my orchids
Such a good video! I just started watching it but I already know it’s going to be good! 💓 What does your husband think about your plants?? Mine doesn’t mind them but I don’t trust him with watering or anything lmaoo. He’s grows his own kind of plants 😉 but he doesn’t have the same love like I do 🤣
My husband doesn't mind them at all! He doesn't love them the way I do, but he definitely loves the vibe it brings to our house. He's supportive of my hobby which I'm thankful for, but he is NOT allowed to touch or care for them 😂 Also I tried growing THOSE kinds of plants with complete and utter failure. 🙃
@@unplantparenthood so when u buy plants from ecugenera . They ship on particular day they mentioned and they said we dont need anything they provide phytosanitary. My question was did u apply or did anything special to get plants from ecuagenera specifically?
@@adityapsingh8144 As far as I'm aware, only Ecuaflora ships to Canada without import permit because it goes through a handler here. Ecuagenera on the other hand does require an import permit or you won't be able to collect from customs. The exporters take care of phyto, but importer must have import docs. And no, I didn't do anything special to get the plants from Ecuagenera. You can usually just order straight from the website.
What do you use for lighting? I just got my first shipment of imports and don't want to cook my plants. Any advice is much appreciated. Btw I think you and pup are hysterical! On top of all the great info you provide it's always nice to have a few laughs! 😅 Keep up the awesome work.
Hi Kelwin! Unfortunately I actually don't know very many overseas sellers since I typically just tag along in group orders (I don't ever ask for their sources since they have businesses!) but I have personally ordered from Ecuagenera and Ecuaflora and have had great experiences with both. :) I've also heard good things about Greenspaces ID? I think that's what it's called!
How can a Philodendron melanochrysum be poached from a forest in Indonesia? Philodendrons all originate from Latin America. P melanochrysum is not a native plant in Asia.
You’re right! I actually posted this video before I knew that all philodendrons were a new world genus that all originated from South America. But a few people did reach out to me after I posted this saying that it’s really common that sellers in Asia purchase large poached plants from sellers in Latin America to use as their mother plants, or just sell them directly to aroid enthusiasts or other plant shops in Asia.
@@unplantparenthood i did not know of that. I although think it would be hard to smuggle a large Philodendron, a whole plant. It would make more sense to use some cuttings. In the tropics in Asia, I would think those South American philodendron s would grow fast. Philodendrons do not all originate in South America. Some, like P. smithii, P. mexicanum etc. originate in North America and others in Central America. Anyway nice plant cleaning. Very thorough.
Beware micorrhyzal inoculants shouldn’t be used on plants that are rooting. MI can help boost leaf and flower growth but diverts energy away from creating new roots (according to research institutes that sell the individual components the instructions always say do not use on rooting specimens)

Aren't we being a bit dramatic these are imports they always have to be rehabilitated. Those roots aren't all bad some still look just fine. SMH

So refreshing to see someone who understands that importing has its’ challenges and knows what to expect and how to work with the situation.
It's definitely been a learning curve and I'm still constantly learning!

Just the video I needed. I have an import coming in on Monday. Bless you plant qween ✨

What do you use for lighting? I just got my first shipment of imports and don't want to cook my plants. Any advice is much appreciated. Btw I think you and pup are hysterical! On top of all the great info you provide it's always nice to have a few laughs! 😅 Keep up the awesome work.
Hiiiiii can you please recommend a place where to buy or import plants that are reliable thank you!!!! I love your videos I’ve learned so much!
Hi Kelwin! Unfortunately I actually don't know very many overseas sellers since I typically just tag along in group orders (I don't ever ask for their sources since they have businesses!) but I have personally ordered from Ecuagenera and Ecuaflora and have had great experiences with both. :) I've also heard good things about Greenspaces ID? I think that's what it's called!
Caption: “...a philodendron anger tense...” 😂
HAHA omg that’s so funny and wildly inaccurate 😂 I need to edit all the closed captions I’m so behind 😫😫😖
1:14:35??????? 😍😍😍😍
How can a Philodendron melanochrysum be poached from a forest in Indonesia? Philodendrons all originate from Latin America. P melanochrysum is not a native plant in Asia.
You’re right! I actually posted this video before I knew that all philodendrons were a new world genus that all originated from South America. But a few people did reach out to me after I posted this saying that it’s really common that sellers in Asia purchase large poached plants from sellers in Latin America to use as their mother plants, or just sell them directly to aroid enthusiasts or other plant shops in Asia.
@@unplantparenthood i did not know of that. I although think it would be hard to smuggle a large Philodendron, a whole plant. It would make more sense to use some cuttings. In the tropics in Asia, I would think those South American philodendron s would grow fast.
Philodendrons do not all originate in South America. Some, like P. smithii, P. mexicanum etc. originate in North America and others in Central America. Anyway nice plant cleaning. Very thorough.
Why scrub everything? You just put them more into shock.
Pests! If I had a dollar for every import I’ve brought home with mealy bugs or scale I’d be 💰💰💰💰
So far no pests from the Florida location . Yes your definitely shocking those plants .
Plant cleaning so satisfying to watch her not actually do lol
Beware micorrhyzal inoculants shouldn’t be used on plants that are rooting. MI can help boost leaf and flower growth but diverts energy away from creating new roots (according to research institutes that sell the individual components the instructions always say do not use on rooting specimens)
Might check out this video --> DON'T USE MYCORRHIZA ON SEEDS!!!! so they say! --th-cam.com/video/k-_868ok250/w-d-xo.html
How are people thumbs downing?? Wth people
I’m definitely not a lot of peoples cup of tea 😂 but I appreciate your support!! 🥺🧡
🐕✋
Was suggested too me but lost me at taking roots an snapping new leaves. I don’t think you know what your doing.
If it makes a snap when you break it off, it good!!
Rot is black an mushy
Don’t tell me what to do 😊
No one asked you, Sherry.
Hahaha the famous Sherry
Charmaine, you have the best plant content on youtube/ig. Thank you for making me a better plant mom. 🪴
That's such a kind thing to say and I'm super flattered 🥺 Thank you for being here!!
How do you tell which roots are healthy and which aren't? If you go over it more in another video I'm happy to watch that too! :)
