My husband has recognized you as an extra member of our family because you’re always on our TV 🤣🤣 Can you do an easy to hard philodendrons and then an in depth care for anthuriums???
IS THAT A MONSTERA ADANSONII VARIGATA I SEE??????
It is!
noticed it too, it’s beautiful!
Where did you get that?? I saw a *cutting* go on Ebay for over £1300!
@@nataliebutler they're crazy rare!!!
Omg. I need this!!! My adansonii is one of my all time favorite plant babies 😭
Your videos are part of my weekly self care day 💕 face mask, hair mask and all the plant info I need 😊🌱
Dominique Lodwick love it.
Awwwwweee how adorable! Good for you for taking self care days!
I love that idea! Tell everybody I'm not available to sort their crap out! It'd be great to have a glam squad to just primp and preen me like these celebrities have daily. I'm lucky to find a hairbrush to drag through my tangled mane biweekly and brush my teeth in the brief intervals my daughters aren't in the bathrooms admiring themselves and coating each lash and eyebrow individually (apparently)....to say nothing of the fake tanning, the depilation , hair masks, goot and face masks, indicate makeup application, long bubble baths and even longer showers....
You can really tell Kaylee’s science and mathematics background. Her videos are so well formed and professional. I am an ecologist coding modeller, these videos are so great to watch, i love her x
I think i'll get " *Well draining soil* " tattooed huge on my forearm.
or forehead
or
"Green is the new pink"
*Soil mix:* Most tropical rainforest plants will benefit from a small portion of Activated Charcoal mixed in.
It acts against harmful bacteria and moderates changes in the soil chemistry. Any sort of forest goes thru burn events at times, so this also mimics a feature of the rainforest environment: there is always some charcoal in that soil.
I went to your TH-cam channel Frank but you didn't have any plant videos so maybe you should start to post plant videos on your TH-cam channel if you have this kind of information that could be shared with the Plant World on TH-cam! Great idea adding charcoal
Frank Drebbin I love using charcoal!
Thanks for the tips! 🥰 I just started growing tropical plant.
So it doesnt has to be activated it can be like wood charcoal?
@@ceramicfrog1 ... Why do you think I Capitalized those words?
Could you do a video on pruning? I am terrified to prune my plants!
Try pruning on a plant that you are ok to forgo. It will dispel all your fears. They bounce back healthier. I swear.
Girl I have only watched the first 6 minutes and 7 seconds of this video and I can't tell you enough how much I appreciate this videoooo!!!! I water mine the same as Alocasias and they are hating it. I didn't understand why. I so appreciate you taking the time to figure all this out and then sharing your experience, Kaylee Ellen....it is priceless!!! Ok let me finish watching lol. :)
Can I just say that if you made a video, that was just like “with monsteras I wait for the moisture meters to read __, and with peperomia I wait for it to read ___ and with skindapsus” like, just tell me all of the moisture read levels you wait until to water. Because... there is so much conflicting info.
One of the first plants I ever bought was a Philodendron Xanadu and that guy has never let me down! Grows like crazy even in the winter and hasn't given me a single issue. Definitely expanding my philodendron collection right now, love these plants 💖
I want to take the time today to thank you for your videos, Kaylee! You were the one that got me into plants. Before, I thought that I could not have plants, because a) I always kill them (by overwatering, I even killed a Zamioculca in the past!), and b) my house is too dark. By buying this moisture probe that you always recommend, I felt more confident that I could do it. I also realized that I do have quite some spots in my house which are not too dark. Now, I have something around 50 plants, and they are all happy and thriving. And this makes me happy. Thanks a million!
After awhile, I recommend double checking your moisture meters or getting a good quality one. Mine was giving me wacky readings (i.e. saying it was dry when it was wet). Also clean the rods with alcohol between use so you get accurate readings and don't transfer anything funky to other plants.
Hey Paula!!! Love this:)) I have seen some comments saying that they don't like other videos about using the finger method, but I don't use a moisture probe and wait for my Phils to just about dry out (when the pot feels very light) I do so much by feeling do to the fact I'm partially blind and ALL my philodendrons look beautiful, but if I was to purchase one I will use your method...I have a hard time trusting gadgets :))
Emily
@@illumlife588 Hi Emily! Nice to see you here! Yes, I notice first that my moisture probe was taking a long time to register the moisture level. I would have to put it in and then come back. Eventually, it was totally wrong. Like Kaylee Ellen mentioned in the video, I noticed that giving a plant a soaking til water came out the bottom did not always suit the plants. My Ficus Audrey will drop leaves if I do that. I also like how she mentioned roots don't always go through the bottom hole if a plant is root bound. I would say caring for plants in our unique environments is experiential and instinctual. You learn by overwatering and getting fungus gnats like I did or just by knowing what your plants need based on the type of light they get, pot they are in and if all else fails testing the soil by hand will do the trick!
Paula Bollers any recommendations on a good probe? Mine is definitely giving wonky readings
@@younghomestudio1396 I was just looking for a good one on Amazon to use in the winter. They seem to have the same mechanisms. Honestly, I think they probably all go a bit wonky after a few months. Maybe we have to just plan on haveing to buy a new one after awhile.

Also I SPY AN ADASONII VARIGATA??!?
I want that dedicated video of philodendrons!! Honestly i could just listen to you talk about plants for a full hour.
Ohhhhh yes!!! I bought a philodendron micans and brasil recently so thank you for this 😃
Besides from all the plant porn your hair looks gorgeous in this video👏🏻😍.
Easy philodendron please please please! I love them! 😍
I'd love to show off my inherited red emerald philodendron, you can't seem to buy it anywhere
Regarding fertilizing, if you repotted, wait 4-6 months before adding any. Most soils have lots of nutrition and some even have fertilizer in them so extra can burn the roots. I put a note in my planner when I repot so I know when I can fertilize 😊
Moist moist moist 😂😂 - great video. Appreciate your talks, as always.
I’m curious, you’ve noted that your philodendron’s sulk when you flush water through the pot...do you think that’s a function of the potting media maybe not being airy enough for the plant type? Like maybe adding a bit more perlite would help prevent too much wetness?
The function of flushing water through the pot has a lot of advantages like removing salt and toxin buildup from the root area, so I have a personal affinity for that method of watering because my tap water is high in minerals (250ppm). I only have a Philodendron melanochrysum and Choco Red, but they seem to be okay with the weekly drench. I use orchid bark, perlite and charcoal at about 70% and the remainder is peatmoss.
Ive just started collecting some philodendron. They are probably some of my favorite so far!
Question though, how far down are you placing the Moisture Meter for the reading?
Thank you for your videos!
I'd love to see both videos, the aroid potting mix and easy philodendrons! 😊
I bottom water my philodendron and pathos now and they are growing great 🥰🥰
*makes plan to check all roots and mix up new potting medium* I love how helpful your videos are. You’re adding to my shopping list but also making sure I kinda know how to care for the plants!
캘리, 여긴 한국이에요..
근데...여기는 당신이 키우는 식물이 없는게 많아요. 그래서 속상해!!!ㅠㅠㅠ
한국어 자막은 안해줄거에요????
Kaylee, this is Korea.
There are many plants that you introduce that do not exist in my country.
That's why I'm so upset!!
Aren't you going to give me Korean subtitles?
I would love a dedicated easy philodendron video 😃
I've never had any luck with those probes I find there are very and accurate at least with the soil pH as far as watering is concerned I just go to my plant room and say hey who needs water and whoever yells back me can I give them water just got to listen to your plants they do talk
I have a Pink Princess, it's my first philodendron and it's beautiful and healthy- but it's getting leggy. I'll be moving to a better place in the next month, but it hasn't been getting a lot of light or humidity where I am right now and it's been turning out smaller and smaller leaves and less verigation. I'd like to remove the small leaves, since they aren't very nice looking and it would probably be good for the plant to be pruned at this point. However it's also growing on a single vine, so I'm afraid to prune it since I don't know where I can prune it to encourage new growth. Maybe it's unrealistic but I'm afraid it'll just stop growing if I do it wrong. Do you have any tips for that?
I'll also be moving all of my plants from north facing windows to north/east facing windows when I move, so I'll be getting morning sun. Do you have tips for acclimating my plants so they don't burn? I accidentally burned my Monstera trying to acclimate it to morning sun from ambient day light before, and lost a lot of its large growth, so I'm very nervous.
Thank you great tips! I love aroids and want to make sure I am giving them the best care. Does the care for anthuriums vary greatly?
I love this video♥️
You should do a video on anthurium care !!
I just got a philodendron verrucosum today! Perfect timing!🥰
Another amazing video! Thank you Kaylee!! I have a question on your humidifier...how do you clean it? I clean mine with vinegar but is there a better way to clean them for plant care? Also, can the moisture probes break? Mine seems to stay at 1 or 2, especially with an aroid mix and even after watering :/
I’m loving your videos! All your background settings are absolutely beautiful! I would love to see a video on how to tell the difference between a Philodendron Rojo Congo and a Black Cardinal. I supposedly bought one of each today, but they look the same to me.
NEW SUBSCRIBER here. New houseplant mama too. Always looking for guidance on how best to care for the plants I've adopted 🙂
PLEASE PLEASE DO A VIDEO LIKE YOU SAID REGARDING THE AROID MIXES FULLBLOWN, showing us like what you adjust for what reasons so we know what to look out for. I have 4 philodendrons: pink princess, painted lady, billitae, splendid.
Istg u make the best videos, like I haven't finished the video yet but I already know its gonna be fantastic
Charming. Watchable and full of expert advice..I'm just starting these plants...and here goes...the addiction has started. Thanks again. 😊
Çiçeklerin. Çok. Harika güzel olmuş. Tedrık Ederım seni 😍😍🌼🌺🍀🌸👍👍👍
"Full on hairy" :) absolutely love your videos. So informative, yet so down to earth :)
Hey Kaylee! If you see this, could you please one day do a video on philodendron Hastatum? I haven’t seen much about them and I think it is just such an amazing plant that it should be covered more in depth. I absolutely love your videos!
First time here Kaylee
Good presentation for philodendron
Those water gauges are great, ive had it for years now👌 didi miss the media that philadendroms use??
I subscribed i moved from States in 2013 to here in the Philippines 😊the 🌿🌴plant lfe is awesome n im in paradise😁although i had a stroke 4 years ago now n barely do any gardening 😭 i am still crushed because of my stroke. I am 68 n was so looking forward to truly enjoying my retirement. Anyways
Been a pleasure seeing you here
Regards and best of health to you and yours
🇺🇸EXPAT MIKE IN THE PHILIPPINES. 😊🙏
Hi I have question, if your floridabeauty is all green, what should i call it? Thanks 🪴
Very very informative 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Thank you so much 🙏🏼💚🕊🙋🏻♀️☮️
Yes to ALL the philodendron videos 😬🙌🏻
3:11 The thing with that is I am so scared of stabbing the roots every time .
Isn't that a rather common and probable risk considering you would stab it down every watering?
Conversely
You are just awesome. I love your videos and I watch them every chance I get. HUGE FAN!!!!
Hi Kaylee.... i have question, why your stem aroids is stiff & fresh....??? Would you give answer? Thankyou :))
Hey friends, if anyone has care tips for a philodendron hastatum, i would really appreciate it. Commnly known as the silver sword. 💙💙
What fertilizer do y’all use on ur philodendron? My WW seems droopy after I repot it. Not sure why, but it seems to stop growing :((( I’m from Singapore, so humility and temperature isn’t a problem. Hope to hear from you guys on ur WW growth journey! :))
I have the same moisture meter and have had some issues with hugely inaccurate readings for some soils. This caused me to almost kill a couple of plants because it was reading much higher than the soil actually was. Because they use electrical condictivity to measure moisture, soil v content can affect them so use with caution!
Thank you. Recently I am in love with the philodendron plants, their larger leaves is so beautiful. This video is exactly what I need. I do have some philodendron plant. I will use the #3 to determine if they need water 💧. Sometimes it's gone dry too long, cause I am not sure when to water, losing leaves turned yellowish. ❤
Wow. This is such a good video! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! Love from Louisville Kentucky! (Yes I said that with much southern twang 😉)
My favorite plant is philodendren too
Kaylee - I think this is probably the best information I have heard in regards to watering. I always see people ask and your answer of It really just depends... is completely correct but you also go over why. Great job!! Loved this video!
Hi @KayleeEllen could you tell me how to rescue my Stromanthe Triostar from from root shock? I had fungus knats in her soil and i was away when my sis found them. She decided to repot and split her. When she did she split the plant and also washed the roots with cold water! The momma plant is doing well but the pup is in shock. Shes sagging and not closing up at night any longer. Plz HELP this is a special plant to me! BTW im saving for a Albo RN bc im obsessed with that white 😆
This is such a late question but how fast do philodendrons grow? I live in a tropical country, my plants have a big south facing window, my rubber tree is flourishing but my philodendron prince of orange just seems dormant? Am I just impatient?
I've been searching for a Philodendron Gloriosum for a long time but I can't find any in the UK. Any idea of where I could get one? Thank you!
OH MY GOODNESS I needed this video so badly! I have a verrucosum coming next week and I feel like an expecting mother freaking out about how I’m going to care for this thing when it gets here. This video is unbelievably appreciated
Thank you so much..I have recently subscribed your channel n found it really informative...
Sooooo I'm new to the pholindendrod club. I'm having a green beauty philondendron since about 3 weeks. It's a big one, but a few of her leaves are droopy/ hanging more than the others. I water them according to a water meter, when they say its time to water xD and it's standing in quite a dark spot.. but I'm just wondering how do I know how if my plant is doing oke? It sadly came in a nursery pot with only stones as soil so it seemed..and I'm just not sure how to check or care for a plant in this kind of soil. Anyone got any tips?
Omg My Beautiful Kaylee holaa from Puerto Rico i loooove your plant videos soooo much💚💚💚💚
Ok, maybe a stupid question...... is there a non vining philodendron??
Your video is pack of info , very helpful indeed, many thanks .
I have a philodendron, i kind figure out which breed , it has long leaf with white lightening looking feature on the leaf, the leaf looks dry, but the soil is moist. I don’t want to over water it , but I’m not sure if I can mist the leafs . Please advice , many thanks 🙏🏻
More plants die from overwatering than from under watering. There is no easy trick....I don’t bother with the gadgets. I check my plants frequently. If I stick my fingers into the soil and feel any moisture at all, I don’t water, and check again in a day or two. Checking regularly is key. I can tell by lifting the pot and feeling the weight, too. If you don’t like plants enough to bother with doing all this, then stick with snake plants and golden pothos
Just a warning - your description has the lighting timestamp as 16:05 when it's 6:05. Love your videos and thank you for all the lovely tips!!!
Thank you! Fixed :)
Hello! I just received my Gloriosum and I noticed that the leaves have fluid filled blisters. Like if you pop it, there’s water inside. The roots are very healthy and the soil is moist. Is this bacteria/disease?
On that 3-way probe. What is the optimum light for Philodendron ? close to 1000 lux?
Philodendron are fairly overwater friendly I have found so great for people who are just getting started and are too scared to let the plant soil go bone dry between watering! The key though is clay pots, in which water evaporates much faster
Thank you for this video ! I have several typical philodendrons but recently got the Gloriosum and a Mamei and this video is so helpful 🙌🏻💚
Ok I do use the meter…but also the meter shows different readings based on how deep I push it in and almost always with most plants it will show atleast a 5-6 when fully inserted. Any tips on the depth to slide it to…?
Halfway through the video and I suddenly see a variegated adansonii
The easiest Philo for me would have to be P. Burle Marx. 👌 It can stand neglect & is never finicky.
I'm surprised! I didn't go through all the comments, I mean there's over 300 of them but I was surprised to see that no one commented on your new then unicorn at the time not so much anymore that you explained in a future video. It was sitting in a glass right next to you the whole video! I was wondering why there was var. Adansonii.
Had a philodendron Brazil and got it to 10% of it's life. now i just have a vine of it growing back from a full plush pot that was bushy and had about 3 vines.. i really want it to go back to it's bushy state. it's been 3 days. i have 3 cutting in water that sits on a warm east facing window that gets morning light and early afternoon light.. all i see are white hairlike thinks forming on the roots. idk if it'll work buti really wanna get my little phila back to its prime
As soon as you talked about humidity I looked at weather app. And Nevada is 14% right now. Oops 😬
Thanks for this! Having a hard time with my philodendron moonlight. The tips of the leaves are getting crispy. :(
Thank you so much for doing this video! Philodendrons are hands down my favourite kinds of plants because they come in so many different shapes and forms! I bought a hygrometer after watching your calathea video, and it's made such a difference - apparently I can tolerate much lower humidity than tropical plants can :D
How do you maintain high humidity in the winter without developing mold issues? I get lots of condensation on my windowsills, and just wiping away residual moisture isn't enough.
The moisture probe is not reliable on chunky mix. You would be better off getting one that measures moisture for orchids. It gives a much better reading.
I ordered a philodendrom verrucosum online and it arrived with one leaf crushed and two drooping. What tips do you have for helping it perk up. The humidity in my home is 41.
What about philodendron verrucosum?
Could you make a dedicated video about it? 💚
Like your Alocasia drama at plant shop! Been in that situation before . Now if I want something I go get it and not think if I buy it or not. You know what happen when you come back its gone!!
My Melanocrysum literally shed all its leaves upon getting it. They don’t handle shipping well.
Could someone maybe help me? I have a philodendron atom and it seems to be really happy. It gives me new leaves like all the time but the stems stay very short. It doesn't look right. Would somebody know what I could do?
I have a philodendron graziale and she is TOUGH to please.
Any tips?!
I love your videos I live in Belize (central america) where some of these philodendrons grows wild In our lush jungle .
Watching from Philippines 😊😍😊
Going trough a kaylee ellen video and adding at least 3 plants to your wish list
Anyone got any thoughts on semi-hydro/ leca with Philodendron species?
Oh I want a painted lady but in my country they are super expensive😭 they are quite rare here bc the suppliers don’t get their hands on so many to sell :(
I LOVE that you gave me a number for my water meter to get to before watering. It is so much easier for me to stick the probe in and see that it is at a 3 than sticking my finger in and trying to decide if I feel moisture.
Thanks for all of these information but if you can tell me how many EC and fertilizer solution work better to the philodendron
If you have enough plants in a room I've found it creates its own humidity biome
Will the mix of coco coir, orchid bark and pearlite work for most tropical plants? i.e. monstera and calathea?
Ve a 20 year old philodendron, grown for an Italian 2 leaf baby. Is been in office settings all its life and has only received water - no feed. What difference if i fed it?
I love how thorough and clear your explantion is! Ty
Just recently got a mcdowell and now the edge is crusty and leaf turning yellow. How do i rehab?
Hello there in the video you said philodendron is the second gene of plant you like , if you don’t mind me asking what is the first gene then?
I hadn't even considered humidity with my philodendron, thanks for mentioning that!
