When people say what's yur secret it means respect for yur talent to grow !! Had nothing to do with disrespect !!😮
Great video Jan ! Don't get frustrated or lose your motivation. People don't always pay attention or get the message. We appreciate that you're actually teaching us that there are no tricks, just lots of time, experience, dedication, constant monitoring and love of plants. And that's the secret. 🙂
Hehe thanks :)
I honestly don’t think that people ask in a malicious way. I know that many planty people struggle to get huge plants. Thank you for all your videos i learned a lot 😊
I agree. I think sim people mean it to be a compliment.
Oh for sure :) but trust me, not all do :D the average person on the internet is pretty rude :D
I agree too..but we don't really know coz only Jan knows d rudest comment which btw is really irritating..great video
@@sydneyplantguy you are pretty resilient like you're plants and repel all the haters 💚
Exactly! It’s a common phrase here in the states and by no means is it meant to imply deception. It literally means tips and tricks.
Thank you, Jan, for yet another clear and succinct presentation. I do hope I’ve been able to convey my appreciation and gratitude for your time and effort, and generosity of spirit, for sharing your wealth of information and experience with the world of plant lovers.
Thank you for your nice comment :)
Your videos have greatly helped me with growing my plants. ❤️❤️❤️.. keep doing what you do. You are transparent and realistic with your plant care. It's very true that, "it's not one size fits all" when it comes to care. It takes patience and observation.
So true!! Thank you :)
Jan. I’ve worked out your secret!!!! It’s your love and passion for your plants💕🌿💕😉
Could be :)
Ppl please... No secret. He is so wonderful and passionate about sharing his knowledge. We should thank him instead of hurting him.
PS. Sidney Plant Guy keep it up. Kudos. Good luck
I wouldn’t say people hurt me, it’s just a bit demotivating. Thank you :)
Alright then keep your secrets🙈
Ok darlin first off obviously your amazing I absolutely love your videos and I’m super excited to make some of your moss poles by far the best and easiest I’ve seen. I think I watched all your videos today..
2 questions.. I’m kinda curious that because like myself I believe you love the plants with character and was wondering why you don’t have any Calatheas or prayer plants? They have such depth and gorgeous designs and move so beautifully during the day and night and secondly have you ever tried Leca? I’m asking this because I also Love my Manijula Pothos but for whatever those evil lil aphids would devour their roots.. I hate that bug! Anyway cut them, propagated them in water and like I did with most my plants switched them to leca… Less bugs 🎉! In doing so I found that it obviously raises the humidity and changed the leaf texture they seem to grow much healthier and thicker so I think I’m going to try your moss pole with a thick string or 2 down the middle of the pole and use Leca..
wondering if you have ever tried this before and if it would still be possible to grow those large beautiful leaves?
Thankyou for your videos they really are great! 😊
I appreciate your tireless effort to help all of us 🙏
Thank you so much :)
I guess you do have a secret. You just love them! You treasure them when they are growing, and when they are sick, and even when they're just standing there, being their leafy selves. You admire their resilience and the way they reach for the light and value their character as they silently transform you and your space into a sanctuary of green love 💚🥰
Hi Jan, I just wanted to tell you about my plants. I to am a Monstera, Philodendron person with a mix of just plants I like, on the side. After seeing all your videos, I took the big step into moss poles like yours. The water bottles work great and after just a few months I have a number of aerial roots poking into the wet moss. Needless to say I'm thrilled and am awaiting big leaves! We live in Cleveland, Ohio, winter here so it is difficult to keep the humidity up but we're working with it. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos and information. I look forward to seeing new ones!
Thanks & happy growing :)
The secret is….there is no secret 😂
Honestly it has been the most encouraging and motivating thing to me to try my hand at indoor plants to hear that a lot of it is just time and learning from mistakes. You give such incredible clear instructions and tips. As well as just hearing your mindset on it’s just a plant and leaves come and go because it makes me feel like it’s very low pressure.
Great to hear :) thanks
The secret is having a genuine love for your plants - a love that motivates you to research and learn about them, to listen to them, to talk to them, to be considerate of their needs and take the time to care.
Your grouping of plants for this video was really amazing, and an excellent backdrop for the theme of this video. While there are no tricks for what you've accomplished with your plants, it's a good lesson that with dedication, effort, and time, amazing plants are possible. Your videos keeps me motivated so thank you for taking time to post these.
Thank you :)
Jan, just as a FYI - the question "what's your secret" is more of an expression... like what is the magical potion you use... it isn't meant to be an insult but actual an exaggerated expression which means a complement... sadly it loses its meaning in translation at times... Best x
Exactly 👍👍
As I said I know that most of the time it’s a rhetorical question, but I get at least 5 ‘but how?!’ questions a day as well, so that video covers those questions too :)
Not a secret, just dedication and hard work :) your videos inspire me with my climbers to help them get bigger
Thanks :)
Hi Jan, konstruktive kritik 😀! I think you green-greyish shirt affects the auto-white-balance value of your camera. when you move sometimes your awb has warmer colortones and sometimes cooler tones. you should shut it off. nix für ungut!
I didn't even notice until you pointed it out and now I can't unsee it lol. It may have something to do with the different undertones in the plant leaves as well. Some are such a warm green and the others are so blue! To be honest that's one of my favorite thing about plants. I like to say, there's an entire rainbow within the color green. 🤣🤣
Thank you :) i know it’s quite bad in this video. I film with my iphonr and it doesn’t give you the option to turn it off. Good tip that the green shirt might have impacted it ☺️
@@sydneyplantguy I think the „sensor“ of iphone is in the middle of the pictue. it triggers your shirt when you sit still. and when you move a little bit, the sensor triggers the leaves because your shirt is no longer in center of the picture. 😀
I have discovered there's no secret to healthier, larger plants. I was off on leave for 3 months and spent so much time tending to my plants. They flourished! Like any living thing, they need time, attention and love.
Great video, but the white balance is shifting all the time and it is very distracting.
I know :/ my iphone doesn’t let me turn it off :(
I just started collecting plants in late 2023. The plant I got were either cuttings or juvenile ones. I can't wait for them to grow as huge as the ones in your back
Wise advice. I’m in U.K. and apart from a bathroom fern that’s doing well I have better conditions for succulents. So thank you for sharing your fabulous tropical family, it’s a real treat to see 😍
GREEN THUMBS 😂🪴🌱 HARD WORK THAT BECOMES EASIER WITH TIME IT TOOK ME YEARS TO ACCOMPLISH MY 75 PLUS PLANTS 🪴 NOT INCLUDING OUTDOOR PALM TREES 🌴
Ok so what’s the secret for being handsome 😂✌🏻🌿
😂😂
Growing big leaves is not so easy for me , so much thanks for sharing ur experience
It’s not easy for anyone :) but with time & effort we can get there :)
I bought my moss pole supply’s this month! You have inspired me! It was expensive! Can you do a beginner moss pole video?
I have some in my Moss Pole Playlist :) happy growing :)
It's so funny how I can fit maybe 20-30 of my plants if I record a video in this setting but only took you a few of your plants to take up almost the whole screen. 🤣 Your Glorious gets me every time! Always my goal! Slowly but surely! 😍
Agreed with all your messages and tips. I feel that trial and error is always the best by tackling one possible problem at a time until we get it right. Thanks for the video 😁
Admittedly I clicked this video thinking you'd share what fertilizer you use 😭 but I love your advice because it's so true, there is no formula to plant care. They are living things which means they each have unique needs and this is what makes caring for plants exciting. If someone gave us a magic formula, we wouldn't take the time to get to know our plants and build a relationship with them. Thank you for your thoughtful content, new subscriber here 💚 PS - you've inspired me to get into more climbing plants 😊
Thanks :)
Love this video! An idea 💡 for another one would be showing us your smaller/newer plants you are growing right now too. Would love to see them.
Thanks :) i have full apartment tours where I show all my plants :) sounds like h might enjoy them
plz for the love of god sir turn off your auto white balance
I know 🥲 my iphone doesn’t give me the option to turn it off
बहुत बढ़िया जानकारी दी। साधुवाद। 🌹🙏🏻
Thanks:)
😂 love it! I know you are very generous explaining everything so many times 🥰! The secret is that you are the best 😎
Thanks Rapha 😘😘
Are you adding some sort of OLF (organic liquid fertilizer) or do you use rain water? Adding both of these is amazing!
Using cork or vines from reptile stores or a regular rough surface wood plank for climbing seems to trigger my monstera and philondendron even more.
It doesnt require watering at all, although cork bark could do this if u wanted to i guess...
Hi Sydney! I am Gladys, I live in Puerto Rico, a beautiful island in the Caribbean. I am so grateful I found you; you explain things so wonderful. You explain things in a way that I feel I can make it. I watched other videos from, of course, other people, but the feeling is different. With you I feel that, this time, I will be able to make it. As you said in this video, I used to purchase big plants, and they had not made it. Thankfully, I gave them to the employees that cleans the condominium where I live. Just wanted you to know that you do a marvelous job explaining how to do things and a marvelous job having your channel. Thank you, thank you, thank you! God blesses you!
I have a sudden urge to move where you are 😭 How is it living on a beach paradise? 😍 For me, it's the ultimate goal in this life. Hopefully, one day....
You are a legend 🌱
Thanks :)
Tiiime is definitely the ingredients that makes the hobby a passion. Beautiful plants time and care, thank you for keeping it real Jan :)
Thanks :)
Omg!! I love your house full of plants. I hope my new plants will grow and look like yours. 😮😮😊😊😊😊😊
🙋🙋🙋 my struggle is real, but I do the best I can, and working on my patience with the few babies that am starting out with 🙏🙏
There’s gotta be something your plants like that I don’t have lol. My home environment is 75-69f fans always running especially during summer. Low humidity, minimal. My house has terrible window placement so berely any sun so I use a 100w grow light. Can you tell us your home environment? I bet your home is pretty warm and humid.
😍😍😍😍😍💚💚💚💚💚
i enjoy watching your videos a lot! You have the best balance of information and setting expectations. Also, it doesn't feel like an information overload, it's like hanging out with a friend! :)
Thank you :) glad u enjoy them :)
1:17 !!!
This!!! I have been telling my family this A LOT lately. They have all started to comment on just how many houseplants and outdoor plants I have now (around 30). I just laugh and tell them that now that I have figured out how to NOT Kill them they are just starting to accumulate and stick around long enough for them to notice they are there. LOL
All these plants are from the wild, during the pandemic, people have gone into the forest to look for something to sell. And they found all this different leafy plants and sold it to the community. In the town where I from, the villagers started going into the forest to harvest this plants. Good thing is that the government have a set of laws protecting wild life including plants. The government was able to control it before the forest become in balance of nature and eventually bad. But before the government realized it, there were already a lot taken and sold into the city. Indeed this plants are beautiful. When I did mountain climbing in one of the biggest mountain in the Philippines in the 90s, we saw a lot of different kinds of this plants. But we never took them because no one showed interest in any of this.
Very well said Jan! Ppl are wishfully thinking (including me) there’s an easier way! But there is no easy way,but hard work! Natalie 😊
Thank you :)
Consistency and patience in taking good care of your plants is the key! Your plants are always pleasing to everyone’s eyes! Always thanks for sharing…
Thank you :)
omg, why is the plant community so toxic!
aside from your experiences in growing plants indoors, you are one gorgeous plant guy.....just wanna say it out there.
Thanks :)
I have a question. I got this beautiful Alocasia Regal Shields 3 days ago. It came in a small pot with substrate that’s very fluffy, I think it’s sphagnum moss. I already ordered everything I need to make a chunky aroid mix like yours and I will repot the plant as soon as it arrives. I’ve noticed that at night water droplets form on the leaf tips which will then drop to the floor. I’ve seen this before on a monstera I once had. From what I’ve read, this means that plant is saturated with water and gets rid of the excess at night when it can’t get rid off it via evaporation. It’s been doing this every night. I’ve checked the substrate yesterday and it felt dry, at least the first 5 centimeters did and it’s a fairly small pot for the size of the plant. The plant is 115 centimeters tall and the pot is 15 centimeters in diameter and 20 centimeters tall. The question is, should I water the plant despite the guttation or should I wait until it doesn’t guttate anymore and then water it?
💚💚💚🌿
Anyone asking that should be a compliment. Your a master at your skill. Kudos tho. I absolutely love them all.
I can only see Brad's tail between your legs 😁 And people ask you about your secret because you are known for your huge plants. Plant shops in my country use your photos to sell moss poles to show what they can do. Even your non-climbing plants are bigger than most peoples'
Great video! I used to live in Sydney but returned to Tasmania. I don't think many people realise how benign the conditions are in coastal NSW (bar fire and flooding). I'm happy just to see my plants slowly settle in and grow with leaves achieving their mature form and looking healthy. Size isn't my goal (although I love your leviathans) because it is just too cool down here, so I really try to focus on style and magical combinations. I'd love to see the small plants you speak about and hear about your plans for them.
Hey Alex, thanks for my comment :) if you wanna see all my smaller plants you can check out my full apartment tours :)
Yes, well said, there are no short cuts, just learning and observation :)
Thanks :)
yeah what happened to all the plants people? come back, you all might think that no one is paying attention, well guess what, I Am a plant mom, and I need the doctors back! Please, I cannot raise my babies without the pediatricians!
Thank you for teaching us all the steps to growing large houseplants. People think you can just buy one from the store and give it some nutrients and it will get big. Nah
ВЫ ПРОСТО СУПЕР!!!
КАК КРАСИВО СРЕДИ РАСТЕНИЙ БОЖЕСТВЕНО!!!
ВЫ МОЛОДЕЦ!!!🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲
thanks for the video! its great! but please, if you can, set a fixed white balance on your camera, the constant color change spazzes me out
Not sure why the lighting keeps changing from warm to cold. Love your videos!!
step 1 live in zone 9 or 10 :)
Or just choose plants according to the zone you live in :)
I love your content! And admittedly a little jealous of your experience 😅😜 thank you for going through the trial and error and sharing it so generously with the plant loving community. You are so easy to listen to, so thoughtful and informative and fun. Thank you!
These people who don't try to find answers themselves before asking are the same people at work who are annoying for the same reason.
Thank you for sharing all of your planty wisdom. I have found the liquid fertilizer in Canada. Can’t wait to see how my plants like it. I have a mint/marble adansonii and an albo climbing a moss pole using your design. They are loving it so far. -20 and snow right now so, I expect them to take off in 4 months time. Patience is key for sure. ❤😊
Thanks :) hope winter won’t be too cold & long for your plants :)
Supposedly when you use spagnum pools the airiel roots feed the plants and cause the leaves to grow larger.
Your amazing with your plants. This weekend, I'll binge all ur vids. I just kinda found your channel!!!😅
Thank you:)
So what's your secret?
Can't tell u that ;) otherwise it won't be a secret right ?
Do you sell your monstera potting mix ? I dont think i can afford to buy all the stuff separately 😭
Ultimate info 👏🏻👏🏻 but poor thing people kept asking you same question over and over.
Unfortunately that is the price you have pay to be King of moss pole 🤣🤣🤣
Hehe thanks :)
I don't think you have made any secret of the skills and techniques you use to grow such fantastic plants. The only other factor is your environment. I have bought a couple of little Cebu blues that I plan to start on moss poles but I am aware that I do not have your climate or light conditions so I won't get the same results but I am curious to see how it goes anyway and I will enjoy the experiment. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and results.
Thanks :)
My secret coconut water every 2weeks and coconut milk every month 🌱
I was here because I wanted to grow big plants ,and thought he was going to reveal the secret. 🤣
You are officially one of my favourite plant parent youtuber! And I thank you for giving me THE solution to root rot. 🎉
Shut your mouth and tell me your secret
I want it to now, now, now
Just kidding
I already know your secret.. I’m watching anyway😌
What is the temperature/humidity around your plants like throughout the year?
Love your honesty ❣️
Thanks :)
Once again thank you Jan, your explanations on plants and plant care is always so clear and precise ❤️
Thanks :)
For me the confusion "secret" is about nutrients as we learned that plants make their own food via photosynthesis - so I didn't know how much and how often to "feed" the plants. Which actually addresses the other obstacle I've had, how to effectively allow climbers to climb? Until your advisement on nutrientting the moss pole, I just gave up by installing trees in my yard and throwing my epiphytes under them to climb naturally. I'm fortunate to live in the Los Angeles basin, which is 65-70% humidity and consistently sunny all year long to grow houseplants outdoors. So thank you so much for sharing your "secrets" so as to allow me to enjoy large plants IN my home as well.
Happy growing :)
Thank you so much for this video 💚
I absolutely love you and your videos! Thanks so much for all the inspiration, information, and sharing your passion! ❤❤❤ your fellow plant hobbyist (Buffalo, Ny.)
Thanks :)
Hallo Jan, ja der Weg ist das Ziel. Sich mit den Pflanzen beschäftigen: Warum wächst sie so schlecht/gut, welches Substrat, wie düngen etc. Wenn es dann endlich klappt mit der Problempflanze.😀 Habe zwei M. Siltepecana Stecklinge, einer mit einem Blatt aber bisher ohne Neuaustrieb. Dem anderen musste ich das Blatt entfernen und ich habe ihn einfach im Topf gelassen. Ganz normal gegossen und gestern, nach ca. 4 Wochen, kommt ein neues Blatt. Die Freude hätte nicht größer sein können. Gruß aus DE.
Danke :) grüße zurück :)
Your tips are always so helpful!! Thank you so much 💛💛💛 I am so grateful for you, your knowledge and for how much you share with us!
Thank you:)
Thank you for the excellent explainer.
💚
I found that with this latest video, you are more real than I even thought. And don't worry, that question is the furthest from my mind. I have found that the ONE secret is really just being attentive to your plants. If you pay attention, clean them regularly, and give them the conditions they require,...each plant is different. Allowing them to be fooled into thinking they are in their native environment is always #1! I value your videos bud! Sooo happy I subscribed and for all the tips! I will say that if you ever decide to sell a cutting or two from those mature beauties, I would LOVE to buy it. Good job on this video my friend!
Thanks :)
woah! Thanks a lot! Greetings from the other side of the globe!
Cheers :)
Thank you! do you have to have plants with big leaves when you buy/get them, or is it possible to make plants with small leaves initially to get much bigger leaves (if you know what I mean?) Sorry for my bad English, In from Norway 😊
I always buy them as small plants & grow them big myself :)
Have you considered creating channel memberships? Your videos are so informative & I truly believe that many ppl (myself included,) would spend $5-$10 a month for a membership. You could make asking questions for you to answer during q&a’s a members only privilege. Forgive me if you don’t care abt such things, I worked in PR prior to becoming a full time mom & even over a decade later, I still tend to think like a publicist sometimes 😂.
Hey :) I thought about it but ultimately I want my content to be free for everybody to enjoy :)
Ballsy and good program.
Hi! Fun to film your video in rainforest style I like it 🤩 Do you own a P. Jose Buono? Mine is so rewarding, fast grower with gigantic leaves, I’m in love with this one. And I love your P. Majestic 👍
I don’t have one, yet;)
I strive to be the plant parent you are! Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and experiences. Always look forward to your videos.
Thank you :)
Great tips. One thing tho... the (automatic) changing of the whitebalance of your camera is really destracting me from your information ;) Time to get myself a little/big jungle
Cheers :) yeah my iphone doesn’t let me turn it off :(
Thanks for sharing bro. Greeting from the U.A.E.
Thanks :)
Thank you Sydney I learned a lot ❤🎉
It's obvious to me Jan. You are shrinking. Your plants are staying the same. Happy New Year buddy.
😂 HNY
Great as always 👌🍃🤍
Thank You for being honest & truthful (loved the intro) and as always, for a very informative and interesting video.
Thanks :)
Has anyone that's not from Australia successfuly ordered these fertilizers?
They are available in the US as well :) i have a link & discount code on my website www.sydneyplantguy.com :)
What do you do if you go on vacation or visit family and can’t water your poles for a week or longer? I want to try moss poles but it sounds impossible if I’m not always home to water them… I don’t have anyone close enough to stop in and water my moss poles.
I get a friend to house sit :)
Do you fertilize in winter ( dormant season)?
My plants don’t go dormant over winter so yes :)
Damn dude, no one thinks youre a plant tyrant
