I feel the same. I find I understand and learn more about them when growing from a baby plant, than a large plant to begin with. My success rate is definitely higher with smaller plants. 😅
Baby plants!! They'll grow in no time at all. 1. You gain tons of insight into their humidity/water/light/fertilizing/seasonal requirements 2. You can better observe their growth over time 3. It's much easier on the wallet!! ( Plus, if they do poorly, it's psychologically easier to let go of a smaller plant)
i bought my first pothos 27 years a go. It became a luscious plant. I put in on my back patio and my toddling grandson stumbled and sat right in the middle squishing it. With that mother plant I retrieved the beginning of 27 years of babies from her. I have even incorporated other plants with her babies. I get asked why I have so many pothos. Well they remind of a wonderful young toddler 27 years ago.
Right, when I look at my plants it reminds me of Dave from Only Fools and Horses explaining he has had the same broom for 30 years and it has had five new heads and four new handles.
What a wonderful memory❤! I, too, have a plant that have sentimental value to me but it's only few years old. Sure hope to have it or its propagations around 20 years from now!
My cat ate my mother spider plant it had 2 leaves… I put it outside it got soooo big and beautiful with babies hanging to the ground!!! And my loving grandsons came over and took hedge cutters and cut ALL the babies off 🤦🏽♀️… I was so upset!
Amazing! I can't wait for all my plants to grow. I just started my plant journey in June of 2020 all thanks to COVID and working from home. I'm now at 22 plants and my boyfriend says that is the cut off in our small 2 bedroom apartment... but I sneak in more in my office haha he doesn't even notice HAHAHAH.
I started around April for the same reason. I also get a lot of pleasure just watching these videos. I considered myself a plant killer prior to that so I never really bought much.
lol I'm the same way! I used to have plants sparingly in the pass years, but they've all died. In the last 7 months I've collected 11 plants and did thorough research on proper care. My collection includes a calathea medallion. My calathea has sprouted 3 new leaves since I've got her 😀. Be also, I can't BUY anymore plants. So I been getting free cuttings from friends and coworkers.
Hey Friends. Thank you for watching this video. Please like, comment and share this video. It really helps my channel out. As always, I appreciate all of you and thank you so much for all the love and support of my crazy plant life. 🤪🪴🧔🏻💕
I love to get baby plants and plugs, or even grow from seeds, as the plants will be more acclimated to our house and climate, as well as it's so nice to see something grow into a full and healthy plant! (Plus it saves loads of $$$!)
This video is such a great idea ! Love to see how plants change and develop, and it is great for those who are new to plants to see what they could get with care and patience 😍👍🏼🌿
I generally buy smaller plants but when I do purchase larger plants I almost always start propagating them right away. Propagating is also my favorite "planty task".
I started with all baby and small plants during the beginning of last year. I too enjoy watching them grow. Makes me so proud. Lol But then I see your plants and I’m ready to purchase a full size mama plant🤦🏻♀️🪴
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Definitely trying to put a bit more effort this year into making quality, fun and entertaining planty content 😅
Thank you so much. I know what you mean, I’m glad they’re helping you during these tough times. Making these videos is helping me get through isolation as well. 😊
I'm so excited I found your channel. Not going to lie though, I panicked a bit when you said south facing being best until I realised that we are in different hemispheres! So excited to grow my plants :)
OMGoodness, you were so cute as a kiddie! LoL Nice pic and I really like the "then and now" updates on your plants, pretty cool. Sometimes I like to get small plants to watch their progress but most of the time I like to buy big, lush, vining plants that are already showstoppers. Thanks so much for sharing your love of house plants w/us. Be blessed!!😇
Love the idea of this video! Looking back at old photos of plants I’ve had for a while is one of my favorite things, it really lets you see the transformation!
I love my Golden Potho ( I have propagated more times than I can count) its about 3ft long. I did put one on a moss pole and it's loving it. Love watching small plants grow into beautiful full plants. My Hoya Carnosa green is more than 10yrs old, I will have to cut it out of the basket its in, I've only repotted it twice. Its so big now I put it on a trellis and a moss pole.
@Crazy Plant Guy Beautiful to see your plants grow. I have one thing that I learned that TH-camrs say that is not true. When you say 100% dry you don't mean 100% dry. I used to only have cactus so to me 100% dry is when the dirt cracks. I underwatered so many plants until my sister said to me that it was crazy to water them so little 😅. Once I learned that, my plants have all made it now. It has been a learning curb for me.
Good learning and thanks for ageing. I guess it depends on how you determine 100% dry, for me it’s when the soil is lose and easy to move around + pot is light. but I can see how others can make the mistake of underwatering...but this gave me an idea for a future video for newbies. Thanks 😊
Awww, thank you Christian. I am excited and look forward to seeing that video. I still struggle to really gage how much water is just right. I know different plants like different amounts, and of course the amount of sun they get also impacts that, but it does seem like a guessing game sometimes.
@@gabrielatorres8003 I am a newbie but found moisture metre most helpful. I couldn’t tell when to water sometimes if I just stick my finger in the soil for plants that may be sensitive or tricky to water (pot very big, cactus that doesn’t have enough room in pot to check without getting pricked, Calatheas or plants that only like to be slightly dry). I highly recommend using moisture metre (pretty affordable on Amazon). It has been a Plant lifesaver for me and I have been preaching this tip (credit Kaylee Ellen): water when level is near 3 (or partially dry, based on metre), for many of my plants that don’t like to fully dry out and some that like evenly moist soil (Calatheas, Philodendrons, Anthuriums). Cacti and succulents have to be fully dry though of course. I have those plants growing new leaves and at least not dying when I changed my watering based on that rule (usually still about once a week but I check first; sometimes it is longer though and if that happens I try to give it more light and/ or put it on heat mat to help soil dry. I use grow lights as well during winter to allow plants to continue growing). Also for sensitive plants like Calathea that don’t like soggy soil but want evenly moist soil all the time, they require less water each time (I check water metre so it doesn’t get to the High Wet level; I water more frequently like every few days or so in those cases; this was an epiphany moment for me as I previously struggled with Calatheas; now they are all regularly growing leaves). Christian has great tips of course on checking soil with your finger but I am afraid I am not good at that method.
Thanks Christian! So glad you mentioned the time factor. I watch alot of You Tuber that feel after 6mths/1 year their babies should have tripled in size. Also since we don't live in a jungle (most of us) , you can't recreate all the conditions of the tropical plant's habitat . Some plants are jus more adaptable than others. I tend to buy larger plants.. after a certain age you lose your patience! Love watching you !!
Thank you for this video. I love getting little baby plants as it's soooo rewarding when they grow. I always cheer them on when they put out tiny new leaves. They are so adorable
About rubber plants, the burgundy one and/or Robusta....I leave mine on the deck in full sun all day almost from when Spring first arrives until early Fall. It will do much better and you can water it daily. Mine was in a 10” pot and is now in a 22” pot. I promised I would not move it to a larger pot as I have to control its growth. Mine to 8’ tall from about 2’ in about a year and a half. I love it! And it’s leaves are so large too! I have been doing this every time the warm season comes( I live in PA) and fertilize lightly with fish fertilizer when I remember. It is so hardy and full sun will definitely make it grow so fast and so large.
Omg! "You aint no golden pothos" lmao! Great video. My pothos is taking over my house. Just trimmed it (again) and the clippings are growing out of control!
Congrats on your fabulous plant growth. I think two things that make a big difference for you is that you repot so they get fresh soil and your whole wall of south-facing windows give the plants fabulous light.
Great video! I thought you had a twin at first!! Quick questions: where did you get your bookshelf/plant stand that looks like a ladder? It’s nice! Also, for the ficus elastica, since it has woody roots in top, would you put a bit more soil on top of those roots if keeping in same container or when repotting?
Really liked this video. Hopefully we see more progress updates with learned tips and overall care requirements. Very inspirational and motivational videos for those brown thumb plantees.
I just got the ficus elastica burgundy and tineke, I'm so excited to see them grow. They're about 1.5 feet tall already and I want them to grow huge since I have 20 foot ceilings. I moved from a dark north facing home to a bright place with east, west, and south facing windows and two skylights.. I'm so excited to get back into plants. Most of my plants died/I gave them away before they died when I moved to my last place.
I love the way you pronounce pothos, I say it the same way. I’ve watched other people pronounce it other ways and now I finally see someone else saying it the same lol
I'm about to repot my 2 year old golden pothos. The vines are way to long. I'm going to try a moss pole. Thank you for your videos crazy plant guy. Your the best!
Getting a medium tineke tomorrow for around 14 dollars from a seller on facebook. I'm so nervous but what a steal if it ends up being a good plant 💖 (btw i live in a tropical country)
Bonjour Christian! Oh so cute little C 😉 I prefer small plants I guess...it's so satisfaying to enjoy their growth (+ it seems to be easier to acclimate)...even if, of course ,I enjoy big plants as well... Beautiful plants of yours btw😍🌿(Mamma Mia!! your Ficusss, lol,are just MAGNIFIQUE !!!!😍😍😍😍) Have a good day!
Great job with the video and getting your plants to thrive! As for the question of baby plants or mature plants ... Depends -- if I had a bigger residence with excellent lighting (plus the funds), I would prefer mature plants. But I'm enjoying taking care of baby plants when they're thriving. And who doesn't think they're adorable? Requires lots of patience though. I think it will take a few years or even more for them to mature. It's fascinating to watch them grow (Alocasia Frydek, Philo Melanochrysum, Squamiferum, Micans, Mamei, Begonia maculata -- all have put out new leaves even during fall and winter). I find they require extra care (would not leave them alone for more than a few days; give them humidity and grow lights if necessary). I watch to ensure they don't dry out for long, or water when partially dry (usually water when moisture metre reads 3, with exception of succulents and cacti, of course; that tip was from Kaylee Ellen, which vastly improved my watering technique). Afraid I'm not a water whisperer who knows the watering needs of more sensitive plants by checking the soil without a moisture metre. I also check they don't stay in high moisture levels for more than a week to avoid root rot (grow lights and heat mat may help soil dry out a bit faster). The rare baby plants aren't that cheap though, even as seedlings. I have juvenile Clarinervium and Magnificum (more surviving than thriving at the moment).
It is so interesting- my hubby and I were at a plant store a couple weeks ago, and saw the Neon Pathos and really loved it and my hubby pointed out to me that it was a crazy out of control plant in certain places of our property in the Florida.- I had know idea what I HAD oh well lol ... i just am starting to get into houseplants and succulents since I moved to Oregon a couple years ago.
It’s crazy to see how the Pothos can grow pretty wild in certain places. I saw a golden one in Tulum just casually climbing up a tree and it’s so beautiful. 🤩
Looks over at my recently neglected pothos and the leaves that dried up and died....sighs, at least it's doing good now--I was such a bad plant mom this month....be sure to not let it remain dry very long!
I like the way you share your "lessons" about caring of plants. It doesn't sound like the usual do's and don'ts. Thus you don't make us newbies feel that we are doing the wrong thing. This video inpired me to continue plant growning despite the many failures I had encountered in the past. Thank you very much. Btw, I am now a subscriber. 🙂
Do you enjoy growing small baby plants or do you prefer to get bigger and well established plants already?
I always loved buying big plants but realized they dont do as well for me like when I get small baby plants
I feel the same. I find I understand and learn more about them when growing from a baby plant, than a large plant to begin with. My success rate is definitely higher with smaller plants. 😅
Babies every time here, am a big fan of philodendrons, alocasias and bird of paradise...but am thinking I need some potos now! ❤ from the UK x
Baby plants. So many of my plants are getting big so fast. I literally have to space in my house anymore!
Baby plants!! They'll grow in no time at all.
1. You gain tons of insight into their humidity/water/light/fertilizing/seasonal requirements
2. You can better observe their growth over time
3. It's much easier on the wallet!!
( Plus, if they do poorly, it's psychologically easier to let go of a smaller plant)

DONT EVER LET ANYONE EVER TELL YOU YOU ARENT THE GOLDEN POTHOS!
The childhood pic was adorable and the comparison to the Pilea 🤣🥰🤣
Haha. Thanks Victoria. ☺️
The intro had me dying! “You ain’t no golden pothos”!! 😂😂 Christian you are a golden pothos bump what he said 😆
Haha... I am, aren’t I, 😜 Thanks 😅
I start with smaller plant also. Find them easier to acclimate to my home and as Christian said you really get to know the plant and it’s needs. 💚
Riiigt. I’ve had so much more success goring smaller plants than getting larger ones to begin with. ☺️
and it is cheaper 💚!

The variation on your Golden Pothos is A-MA-ZING! This plant is SO underated!
My mom's boyfriend n her came to visit and he told me they also call it money plant in mexico :) every leaf attracts $ to u ❤️💕

Wow! That golden pothos! Your neon pothos convinced me that I needed one.
Honestly, they’re the best plants. So beautiful and so easy to care for.

Thank you. I’ll try and keep them up. 😉
This video is such a great idea ! Love to see how plants change and develop, and it is great for those who are new to plants to see what they could get with care and patience 😍👍🏼🌿
Thanks Sally. Was definite going for that plant progress type of video and show a now and then comparison of the plants. Glad you enjoyed it. ☺️🪴
I actually enjoy getting large plants and propagating smaller ones from it. I love growing plants from cuttings.
I generally buy smaller plants but when I do purchase larger plants I almost always start propagating them right away. Propagating is also my favorite "planty task".
I started with all baby and small plants during the beginning of last year. I too enjoy watching them grow. Makes me so proud. Lol

The effort you put into all your videos, WOW! Those skits and the editing are getting better and better! Love it!♥
Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Definitely trying to put a bit more effort this year into making quality, fun and entertaining planty content 😅
Your Golden Pothos puts mine to shame 🥲 definitely going to replant clippings into the mother plant from now on!
I love before and after plant pictures !!! So rewarding:)
Honestly I don’t comment on your videos often, but thank you for making such great videos to help me through my isolation! It can be soooo lonely!
Thank you so much. I know what you mean, I’m glad they’re helping you during these tough times. Making these videos is helping me get through isolation as well. 😊
The intro was adorable lol! 🌱 I love seeing growth updates
Thanks. This video was fun to do cause o got to look back at old videos on how these plants looked before. So satisfying indeed.
My neon pothos has also grown super long and lush the last year! I love it! Probably one of my most favorite common plant! Love the pop of color 🥰
I'm so excited I found your channel. Not going to lie though, I panicked a bit when you said south facing being best until I realised that we are in different hemispheres! So excited to grow my plants :)

Hello this video is good already. Ive always wondered how to grow small plants into larger Thankyou crazyplantguy 💛🌿
I hope you day is going well :)
Thank you. Love growing small plants. Satisfying when they grow to be large and healthy.
Agree.... also, plants have teached me to be patient to take of them...
That's how I feel I love seeing them grow
I’m soooooooo excited to so my ficus to grow as tall as urs!!!!!
Wow! Im so excited to see ur plants so big ,I want to see my plants look like urs ,thanks for sharing ur tips 👍

I love both personally cause it’s cool to see them grow!
I know what you mean, my Monstera has gotten so large, it takes up too much space, so now I'm working my way upwards^^
Great way to definitely save space is to grow up. 😁
Any tips
Finally! A video of before and after! Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Love this video! Love the before and after and the tips for each plant. Great job! Those pothos are gorgeous!
Thanks Sheila. It’s fun watching old footages of the plants as a baby and seeing how much they’ve grown. ☺️

About rubber plants, the burgundy one and/or Robusta....I leave mine on the deck in full sun all day almost from when Spring first arrives until early Fall.

I always love the intro because he is so creative
I’m currently sipping on that jealousy tea ☕️ love your collection !
I need to get better at remembering to take photos of my plants when I first get them so I can look back at their growth over time.
My god!
I feel down every time i've lost one of my plant.but seeing your really inspired me.
I will not gonna stop! Thank you ❤️
Congrats on your fabulous plant growth. I think two things that make a big difference for you is that you repot so they get fresh soil and your whole wall of south-facing windows give the plants fabulous light.
LOVE the intro!! You are fun to watch and I love all of your plant info - thanks!
Cool intro!
Pothos Christian lives in the shade! Omg!
Another great job!!! You are a clever guy!!!
Thanks Patty. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Great video! I thought you had a twin at first!! Quick questions: where did you get your bookshelf/plant stand that looks like a ladder? It’s nice!
Also, for the ficus elastica, since it has woody roots in top, would you put a bit more soil on top of those roots if keeping in same container or when repotting?
Such a cute intro! Adorable!!! Just sharing on my Hoyas, I use Orchid fertilizer to spray the leaves! They love it! 🌱
☺️ Thanks. Does the orchid fertilizer help get them to bloom?! I might try it on my Hoyas. 😁
I want a small Hoya. How much?
@@CrazyPlantGuy it has for two of mine. The other is still a baby plant!
BTW, I use Miracle Grow Orchid spray! 🪴
@@loririchard397 , hi, I don't sell, I was just sharing what I use on my Hoyas to help them bloom. Thanks.
Thanks so much for the good information Chris. All the pothos I have in my home started as 4” ones and now they are thriving!
I love the plant updates. I’m a new plant momma and seeing the progression gives me hope.
Really liked this video. Hopefully we see more progress updates with learned tips and overall care requirements. Very inspirational and motivational videos for those brown thumb plantees.
I agree, i always buy small plants.
I love to see how they grow ❤️
I just got the ficus elastica burgundy and tineke, I'm so excited to see them grow. They're about 1.5 feet tall already and I want them to grow huge since I have 20 foot ceilings.

Thank you..now I need to repot my pothos which is sitting on the same pot for almost 2 years..watching from Philippines..your plants are so lush
You seriously upgraded Christian!! Really impressed with the video qualities lately!
Thank you. I’m still using same camera just using a different lenses and settings. 😁
Love the before and afters keep crushing it Christian!
Your plants are so amazing. I can really say you are doing great with your plants.
Your intros are epic! Love your humor.
I love the way you pronounce pothos, I say it the same way. I’ve watched other people pronounce it other ways and now I finally see someone else saying it the same lol
I wish I could give this video 10000 thumbs ups.
omg LOVE seeing the progress and learned lessons!
Thanks. Enjoyed making this video, watching old videos of how small these plants were. So satisfying
Your amazing. Very informative and encouraging. Maria Montreal Canada
Hi sir Christian I really love your intro every time you do your video and thanks for the tips that you’re giving us
Your intros are seriously to die for!!! Amazing editing skills!!!!
Thank you. 😁
i love your ficus videos! ficus elasticas are my absolute favorite plants
I’m so glad you are back
I love these then and now videos @crazyplantguy you've gotta do more of these if you end up having the time!
I'm about to repot my 2 year old golden pothos. The vines are way to long. I'm going to try a moss pole. Thank you for your videos crazy plant guy. Your the best!
I love comparison videos. Thank you 💚
You are the bomb. I love you fun intros. They are so funny and creative. Btw you’re a rare jewel

For the rubber trees you can also snap the new growth leaf off to promote branching. I've had better luck this way than notching. :)
I love your plant videos

Depends -- if I had a bigger residence with excellent lighting (plus the funds), I would prefer mature plants. But I'm enjoying taking care of baby plants when they're thriving. And who doesn't think they're adorable? Requires lots of patience though. I think it will take a few years or even more for them to mature. It's fascinating to watch them grow (Alocasia Frydek, Philo Melanochrysum, Squamiferum, Micans, Mamei, Begonia maculata -- all have put out new leaves even during fall and winter). I find they require extra care (would not leave them alone for more than a few days; give them humidity and grow lights if necessary). I watch to ensure they don't dry out for long, or water when partially dry (usually water when moisture metre reads 3, with exception of succulents and cacti, of course; that tip was from Kaylee Ellen, which vastly improved my watering technique). Afraid I'm not a water whisperer who knows the watering needs of more sensitive plants by checking the soil without a moisture metre. I also check they don't stay in high moisture levels for more than a week to avoid root rot (grow lights and heat mat may help soil dry out a bit faster). The rare baby plants aren't that cheap though, even as seedlings. I have juvenile Clarinervium and Magnificum (more surviving than thriving at the moment).
ficus elasticas are huge trees here in the philippines. direct full sun benefits them a lot.
LOVE THIS! How about a "plant expert" showing their plants in a 4" pot or worse still on the store shelf?
It is so interesting- my hubby and I were at a plant store a couple weeks ago, and saw the Neon Pathos and really loved it and my hubby pointed out to me that it was a crazy out of control plant in certain places of our property in the Florida.- I had know idea what I HAD oh well lol ... i just am starting to get into houseplants and succulents since I moved to Oregon a couple years ago.
It’s crazy to see how the Pothos can grow pretty wild in certain places. I saw a golden one in Tulum just casually climbing up a tree and it’s so beautiful. 🤩
@@CrazyPlantGuy Very!!

Happy New Year Christian n everyone out there. Luv all yr videos, so informative n thanks for the tips. Take care n stay safe.
Looks over at my recently neglected pothos and the leaves that dried up and died....sighs, at least it's doing good now--I was such a bad plant mom this month....be sure to not let it remain dry very long!
I love your intros and your plants are amazing.
Thank you Lucy.
I love how you've got your Cebu in the video. Two year's from now it's gonna be huge. BTW I love my new Cebu think I will put a moss pole in it too. 💚
I can’t wait for it to grow. Goal is for this year to get it 2x the size. 😁
wow nice sharing great💖😀👌
wow! love your golden .. can’t wait for mine to be as big as that
07:40 me having a golden pothos in my north facing window 👁💧👄💧👁
when he said "Nah you ain't no golden pothos" at the beginning, I was not ready for that
I like the way you share your "lessons" about caring of plants. It doesn't sound like the usual do's and don'ts. Thus you don't make us newbies feel that we are doing the wrong thing. This video inpired me to continue plant growning despite the many failures I had encountered in the past. Thank you very much. Btw, I am now a subscriber. 🙂
Really great video! Its nice to see the progress! 👍🏼
Thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed this progress video.
