THANKKKKKKKKKK YOU SO MUCH for doing these experiments and saving thousands of plants throughout the world! yes, on one hand its funny , on the other it is not but throughout all of it, its sad that someone would post horrible things like that and murder living little green organisms that give us soooooooooo much...BLESSSS YOU!
@@desertedenblooms Thank you 😊
Someone woke up and chose comedy! :D
Exactly 😂
🤣
His monstera video is pretty fun as well regarding rotating plants!
‘It gave me Ozzy Osbourne’ 😂
I love the editing style of this video! Your plant care tips are always so useful 🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
I just realized I never knew his name was Richard.
Can I just say that the editing and humor on this video was top notch, you had me in stitches throughout 🤣
Yay, thank you!
😂
I would NEVER skip ahead and miss your jokes! Congrats on your new style, looks good to see you let your hair down (🤣)
You're the best!
I just LOVE this channel😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh my there is so much to comment in this one😂 I have to say my nostrils scrunched inwards trying to escape the future in pure panic from the very start that milking plant started🤢🐽
My biggest fear was the smell and I hereby give mrs Sheffield the patience-with-hubbys-hobbys awards🤓
THANK YOU for this hillarious video!❤😂
😂 thanks!
Fantastic Richard! great experiment hope Milky Joe survived.The two plants must have been having great conversations with each other!😆
Thank you 😊 it’s not looking good for joe
I can't believe 5 Minute Crafts would just lie to us like that. 😢
And for what? Hundreds of millions of views?
Glad it’s not working 😅
I knew someone who always had some off milk to get rid of and he tipped it on one plant out of a row and that plant was doing better than the rest.
I just watched the video for the first time and it’s one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen on LibTube. I’ve seen other videos where people claimed that using milk really worked for their plants. After seeing your video I decided to drink the milk, and leave the plants to MasterBlend!
I think that’s the best way 😁
I really enjoy content like this. Not only because of your lovely humour (😉), but also because this 5-minute junk exploits the innate human search for simple answers to (however complex) questions with bad intentions. After all, there are people who are not badly enriched by this rip-off.
So I admire that you have found a charming way to properly simplify the facts of a very complex question in Robin Hood fashion.
Glad you liked it 😁
This is so funny and educating as well ❤😂
Thanking you!
You funny man😂 Thanks for that.. what a pleasant surprise, had a good laugh
Glad you enjoyed it
Milk if devoid of fat could be a very good all purpose organic liquid fertilizer. NPK is around 0.5
NPK 0.5:0.15:0.15 or so. Fat is not healthy for soil and roots so if you have that in, you should only use as a foliar feed (stinks a bit though). it is advised to reduce fat content if non-fat milk is not available by diluting with water. If you want low risk reduce fat content to well below 0.5% - so maybe use 1:5 ratio with a 1.5% fat milk.
You are so funny. I needed that!
Glad you liked it 😁
I know this; milk has calcium. Calcium builds up and forms a hard layer. Milk is covering the roots. A bony layer is growing around the roots.
Possible solution?
One watering with milk. The next two with water. 🙂
Great humor , Shef
😎👍
Thank you 😊
This was a great time!
But wait. Did the Milky Joe's roots ever recover?
It’s kinda gone down hill for our Joe ☹️
😂 milk and biscuits for you mate good one! That’s a crazy hack.
It really is!
Milk is great for flowering plants outdoors though. This year I watered my geraniums on the balcony, once a month with a mixture of 1 liter fresh milk with 4 liters of water. They have been blooming like crazy all summer long !!!!! 👍😉
Interesting 🤔
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yes. I read that tip on the internet and thought I'd give it a try, as I found that the chemical fertilizers didn't work that well.
Even my neighbours were commenting what lovely flowers I had this year !!!!!. Didn't let them in on my secret though 🤣🤣🤣
Great video! One element that would add to the comic absurdity would be a completely clueless, but very proud thumbs up :D
😁
When you buy plants in pot, the soil is already fed in the plant nursery. That says a lot, as the nutrients will be consumed in quite a long time.
This is why i always watch your videos from start to finish to see the end results lol. Great videos as always! Btw the smell i can imagine 😷 😂
Awesome! Thank you!
Another awesome video. Thank you.!! The commentary had me cracking up 😂
Glad you enjoyed 😁
Very entertaining, Richard! Thanks for this video, it was fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't imagine the stenches coming from the milk plant.
You should check beer trick, I've heard adding some beer to watering can boost growth but never bothered to check
Thanks for the idea
Ozzy snorted a pile of ants as well.. I was wondering where that reference was going 😅 great vid I'll avoid the milk :-)
to make the experiment even, both should have had the paper cover on top of the soil... and you should have shown moisture content of both plants at the end...
Other one is fine. Do you think the paper made a difference?
mmm a house smelling of baby sick, thanks for taking one for the team.
Very funny and very interesting vidio!! 😂
Glad you enjoyed it
I absolutely love your style!!!! Keep up the videos!
Thank you so much!!
Don't think it's supposed to be every watering
Tip- you have to watch till then end😂!
😂
Great video, thank you. I laughed out loud throughout! I think it’s safe to say plants are lactose intolerant!
By the way, is Mrs Sheffield a change manager? Noticed a particular poster!
Good spot and yes she is 😁
I like that you recommend the next video at the end so I can binge watch! TH-cam doesn’t always auto play the same channel.
Happy binging 😁
Maybe it's just that one plant that is lactose intolerant?
Good point. I need more plants and more milk
You know what I don’t understand, and I’m not looking for an answer (although if you have it that would help) but Money trees like to be on the drier side. YET THEY LIVE IN MARSHY SWAMPY AREAS IN THE AMAZON???
Hmm I’ve not looked into that actually
Looking forward to more funny 😁 videos 😊❤
Thank you 😊
I know many people are wiping the leaves with milk 🥛🥛😮😮 and they are shiny😮😮
But I personally don’t like to use anything other than NPK😢😢😢
💯
😂 Love the video and the debunking of these crazy videos about weird stuff to add to plants! Question... Do you use beneficial nematodes? Just curious... Been using them for a month now and seems to be working well. Love you channel, thanks for the extra entertainment! 😂❤
I’ve not yet but I want to. Next step I think
Great experiment; so did the milked plant survive?
It's not looking good
Have you ever tried unflavored gelatin? A few pinches mixed with water works well no rot my plants are growing like mad
What does the gelatin do?
@@SheffieldMadePlants
Gives them nitrogen phosphorous and calcium I do it about once or twice a month, a gardener I knew as a kid taught me that trick
I love this video ! 😂😂 Thank you for the experience but the water Money tree look great
Thanks for watching!
What about Green Tea leaves and oats soaked in boiled water?
I like that one
Haha I mean for real. Does that work?
@@UtsavChopra yes it’s a little boost in nitrogen
Everytime I've seen this "plant hack" I've immediately thought about when my kids were little and I would forget to grab their cup or think I grabbed their cup and it was secretly hiding under the bed and then two days later how I would be throwing up while opening it and then tossing the whole thing... This said, my son is 19 now and I still find the occasional milk based science project in his room, I'm suddenly quite happy he's moved out... 🤮
With the cost of milk here, this would be like fertilizing with gold only to kill the plant... It's about 4 dollars for 2 liters, I wanted to buy chocolate milk yesterday to fuel my inner child but it was 6 dollars for 2 liters so I am letting my inner child suffer BC adult me refuses that price!
Now that I think about it though, perhaps your next experiment should be a strawberry milk, a chocolate milk and a white milk. Also, maybe plants like plant based milk, little cannibals... 😱
Chocolate milk 🤔 interesting...
When I was 8 years old, a lady who lived on the corner had a large picture window full of robust red poinsettia plants. The were huge, full, and red all year round. I never saw anything like it. One day I asked her what her secret was and she said she watered them with milk. So this isn't new to me. Want to give it a go?
Err i might skip that. This was enough for me 😅
@@SheffieldMadePlants I'm curious, why didn't you bottom water? I mean milk!
@@eileenworth7862 I went all or nothing I guess
Soil issues?
😊
plants in the wild never receive milk in any form...what would make humans think milk is a good idea for plants?!?
Your my favourite influencer 😊
You're the best!
You are hilarious..this was a great experiment. 😁
Nature knows best! Plain water it is! 😁
Thank you 😊
1 minute in...
I would think that milk causes more alkalinity. So, to milk or not to milk ...er...to *add* milk...depends upon the needs of the plant.
Just my guess.
6:20 The fat in the milk would prevent drying out so soon.
RIP Joe...😢
😬
I felt so sorry for the gorgeous plant that took the hit in the name of “science”… btw did you name it Fauci by any chance…?
My only experience with the money tree was painful and short lived 😢 I took it as a sign that, indeed, money does not grow on trees.
Fauci would have been great 😂
Better
as usual the hackers took a small amount of science, and ruined it.
supposed to be lactobaccilus that does the plant good, and not all those milk solids.
i cant be bothered making rice wash water with milk into whey.
still interested to see if introduction of lactobacillus (LAB) can help house plants.
wonder if you can get the correct strain of LAB for plants from powder capsules available these days in chemists and supermarket vitamin isle.
Just stick with NPK I reckon
@@SheffieldMadePlants : there is proper scientific research about LAB, but not about adding milk to plants...the latter being organic people addition
forgot to mention that adding a few drops of aquarium fish water conditioner working good thus far in large vase with cut flowers. probably making the bit of phosphates in tap water not available to algae.
🇦🇺 Laughing my face off 😂😂😂
Now in all seriousness... I did watch a video just yesterday where a woman explained how she gave her peperomia watermelon 1/4 cup of diluted milk... Just once! And the plant showed new growth, when for some time the plant has not grown at all. Food for thought??? But I'm seriously not risking my peperomia for that experiment lol
It didn’t work for me 😅
My wife is currently breast feeding our newborn. I will try to convenience her to leave some drops for our beloved Monstera as well.
Great idea 😁
I thought it was a bad idea 😊
😬
Same or death 🤷🏾♀️
If only there were some way to buy a concentrated liquid specifically meant to give plants all the nutrients they need, without attracting pests and smelling nasty. It could even be cheaper than milk, if we had our way.
That's crazy talk. No such thing could exist
I never knew the british have an entire closet just for condiments
Oh yes 😁
Can plants get drunk ? Wine maybe 🍷 😂
Ooo
I'd never put milk on the plants, it would surely turn the soil sour and attract varmits.... end of video.. precisely.. oh you do make me smile 😂😂😂😂
Thank you 😊 I try
Like most people I expected the milk to be bad, but but not that bad... I would imagine that the proteins and such would be too large for the roots to absorb or would already be in healthy soil. As for the soy sauce... Oh boy. I could only imagine it would be good for plants adapted to high salinity or poor soil to begin with and will otherwise kill any other plant 😢
We shall see! 😁
lol now we know!
😁
okay but do the plant's teeth look okay at least?
Shiny and bright
😅
This was hilarious! It’s good to stop being serious once in a while! Thanks Richard! 😻
Agreed!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love how you are always proving 5 Minute Crafts wrong! I hope your tree survives!
On a mission 😂
Thanks for taking the time to prove these witches wrong ❤❤❤
FUNNY HOW YOU TUBE will docks and cancel the truth but when it comes to 5 minute crafts and like channels disseminating death of plants which are useful and needed by allll...they dont give a damn and allow it...why are is 5 minute crafts still allowed to operate while spreading lies ! thank yuuuuuuuu dear dear Sheffeld. live your channel and accents!
Did it survive?
The smell must be revolting - thanks for taking one for the team there Richard 👍 The only tip I’ve heard about milk is using it in powdered form when planting tomatoes. Seemingly it’s good for stopping blight. It was a tomato grower that told us this so worth a try.
Let's just say never again! Is that on the leaves?
@@SheffieldMadePlants no it’s sprinkled in the earth around the roots
Tomatoes use a lot of calcium while growing, lots of people enrich their soil with calcium before planting, also zucchini and squash to help with blossom end rot
😂 Comedy gold!
Aside from the smell (and killing your plant), it would get awfully expensive using milk to water your plants!
Good point!
As always a great video. I make yogurt, which leaves behind wey, I dilute this way approximately 1/10 water and use it as a fertiliser, but I don't administer it at every watering. I have found this to be beneficial, particularly for a reluctant to flower Peace Lilly. After a few weeks of just one dose of my wey solution, flowers began to develop and the plant flowers generously now. I didn't experience any bugs or fowel smells. Perhaps it was the dilution, perhaps it was the wey rather than the full monty of milk, I actually don't know the answer, I can only convey my experience with diluted wey from yogurt making
Interesting! Thanks
I've used deleted milk and my plants loved it as there in a south facing window but You must not do it to often😮 also during a fungus outbreak I did do diluted apple cider vinegar and it worked great but in both cases a capful in water only 😂🤣😂🤣💖
@@sandieedward993 The Cider vinegar is interesting
This unlocked a memory in my head. Back in the day some kid in my school watered a plant with milk once as a prank. It was last few weeks of school. The stench of milk rotting in the summer heat was unbearable. Someone threw up during the class.
Milk and potting soil might as well be poison lol.
Little brat! 😂
As much as was used to “water ” the plant would cause root rot. A lot was used. I would never pour that much on my plant
I think diluting the milk or yogurt further and giving it once in a while might help like it did after your first application.. it did help in the growth of new shoots.. and then maybe if you had stopped the plant roots wouldn't rot. Just my thought watching this experiment.. 😊
Good shout!
Yes true. An article says to use milk once and a while , not every time
Yes, fresh milk diluted into water is great. BuildASoil sells a product called "Ya Whey" which is Whey from Cheese manufacturing that they make into a product.
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LABS) is Milk that is fermented and that is part of certain Plant Philosophies such as JADAM and KNF.
Well done myth busting Richard, but the thought of how that plant must have smelled after 2 weeks makes me feel🤢🤢🤢 and I wasn’t even there! Mrs Sheffield must be an understanding woman
It wasn’t pleasant!
Richard, you are probably the most entertaining. informative and creative TH-camrs out there! I'm watching this in the early morning hours on the Oregon coast. Nothing like starting the day off with laughter. Yeah, I'm probably not going to try this. lol Let us know if the Milky Joe survived.
Thank you!
Your videos keep getter better and better. ❤ You have such a wonderful sense of humor! Great content as always, can’t wait for the soy one. I’m predicting 🌱☠️
Thank you so much!!
I love it when plantubers work with each other. I adore Kill this Plant!
Very funny
I had no idea people were doing this! 🤯I wouldn't even attempt it mainly for fear of pests! Side note: I always appreciate a good BTTF reference! 😁👍🏾
Best trilogy right?
Egg shells, tomato soup, coffee…people will put anything in their plant soil except actual fertilizer.
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yes!!!!
Who else thinks of our helpful green friend as Sheffield and not Richard?😅
😂
Gross Richard. Yet as always very interesting. Planterina has nothing on you!!!
Thanking you!
Were the roots rotting because of the milk, or because of the cover you placed on the soil, which trapped the moisture, preventing it from drying out at the usual rate?
I think you need to do this experiment again, controlling for this important variable! 🤣
I’ll do it again 😅
Please incorporate more of your humor in you videos. The jokes had me rolling. Great experiment!
Will do! 😁
I think the milky plant will prevail. By the way, lactobacillus is pronounced “lack toe back sill us” 😊
I am glad you tried it so I don't have to 😂👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I took the hit don't worry 😂
The benefit is the milk has ready to feed calcium and potassium that the plant can get. I put powdered milk on the top and water it in occasionally. It helps but you just gave way too much. You don't give so much that it comes out the bottom like water. Just enough to feed the roots like at most once a month. It's fertilizer you use it like any other fertilizer...as needed not as a replacement for water.
NO MILK! Bad Milk! Good - I would not want my plants stinking of old milk. :-)
This will work for a bit for plants with overgrown roots. It'll rot out potentially "pruning" the roots. At least, that's one benefit of rot eating away at roots... but ofc losing roots completely kills. There are also the vitamins and minerals but the high concentration is not ideal for the plant. It's like adding a dead creature into the soil but in liquid form which acts as fertilizer so adding too many definitely will lead to too much rotting and too much organisms in the soil. Anyways... that's just me thinking too deep about it. Still not recommended to give milk to plants............ hmmm....
Richard's gone loco and I LOVE it. Also, was I the only one distracted by the t shirt stain?
Congrats you win! The first person to notice 😂 I'll make it free to subscribe to the channel 😉
I went back and saw it, lol. I found dawn dish soap good at getting stains out. 😃
I pour milk in my garden of tomatoes, and I have never had pest or critter issues. I don't cover but I water 3x a week.
This so funny and I’m only three minutes in. 😂. I think death and disease.
😅
Don't worry, soy will save it
Lmao
That one's coming in a couple weeks and it's a gem 😂
Or curry powder! 😂
why did you water the milk down ,what happens with strate milk,ive always wanted to know what happens to a plant because ive always got milk left over that i dont drink,and i hate to waste it down the drain
Milk is just like any nutrient you'd apply to your plants . Just apply alittle bit of it regularly. But atleast this vid shows it works.
it seems like a workable way to refresh soil in a single dose, but not as a recurrent fertiliser. There's no way that early growth was a coincidence
Yes you are in the ball park water it down and every two weeks is best
Dilute it with water and not every feeding. Nice video
i hear 1/2 milk and 1./2 water for garden don't know abt house plants thanks
Immediately I was thinking about over-fertilization
