Hey Tyler! I’ve been a subscriber for over 5 years but I’ll be honest I haven’t been keeping up in the last few. This is the first video I’ve watched in a long time and I just gotta say it makes me SO HAPPY to hear all these updates ☺️☺️ it’s feels like catching up with an old friend over coffee. wishing you continued success in all these new ventures ✨ side note: you’re style has really improved over the years!! it’s giving Brooklyn meets Bass Pro Shop and I am here for it 🔥😂
Love seeing updates from you. I love my crestie that I got from you guys in October. He is just the funniest little guy. He just loves throwing his food cup. Still love seeing all the posts Maddie does. I watch for her stuff all the time.
honestly these were some of the BEST duos to watch as of late. they all meshed so well. Especially Nick and Payton. Nick is such an antagonizer and Payton played so well into it. bravo 👏👏👏
humidity is the secret! moss poles aren’t necessary at all in situations humidity is high enough. in my tent i’ve had issues with plants attaching up plastic, walls, water trays, tables etc 😂 if you can give the aerial roots the environment to grab, attach, and acclimate you’re golden. what sucks is if i accidentally leave a plant out overnight after watering even just 12-24 hours can be long enough to dry out and start deteriorating the health of the aerial roots and it’s all downhill from there. i’m in a region with garbage ambient humidity so ugly tents it is for me. your plants look happy and acclimated to their living space so keep doing what you’re doing! 🌿
I help manage another TH-cam channel and people reaaaally underestimate how much work is to maintain a post schedule to the algorithm’s favorability. I had always wanted to be a TH-camr before doing this job and then I found I like being behind the scenes much more.
I’ve only tried wood planks a couple times, but my philodendrons just don’t seem to want to attach. Probably a monstera would be less picky though. Sphagnum moss poles have just worked really well for me, and I like my long plant chore meditation time. I hate the pre-made coir poles though. They’re pricy and don’t stay moist enough for plants to want to attach. But they’re often sold to beginners who don’t know cheaper alternatives
Moss poles are basically a pot all the way up. Roots grow in and can take in water and nutrients without having to pull it all the way up from the base pot. People use them to get bigger, mature leaves mostly. Also really depends on your environment
Perhaps a counterintuitive suggestion for the monstera, but variegations are just strange that way. Give it a little less light or less intense light. Variegated plants tend to show more of the mutation in new foliage when they are exposed to higher levels of light so, if you're specifically trying to decrease the mutation you will need to decrease the amount of light. There will be a tricky balance though given just how much white is present because it still needs enough light for the green parts to photosynthesis. Another option you could try is propagating. If you have a node high enough up to take a cutting (without sacrificing the rest of the plant), you could try and propagate from that cutting to see if it'll throw up some greener leaves and give you a better start to a second plant. I would recommend water propagation with a rooting powder/gel to help speed it along. The upside is that propagating cuttings don't need much in terms of photosynthesis, they just need enough to stay alive while new roots form. All of the root forming function happens because of the hormones in the node (so make sure you cut in the right spot underneath the node) and using the rooting powder/gel will help with that. Not 100% sure if this will work with leaves that white, but it might be worth a try because I know that original specimen was not cheap. On the upside, if you can get come green spots in there, monstera are usually fairly bullet proof plants and very easy to propagate. I do it every couple years when mine outgrows it's space and just start over with a "new" plant that keeps throwing up the same mature foliage.
Miss your videos! I know you said that's expo's have been really positive and you meet alot of cool people but I'd be curious if you have met any weirdos or just people you had a weird interaction with when it comes to the reptiles. Just a video Idea if you wanted 🙂
moss poles are annoying in my opinion, I've watched almost all of the @LecaQueen videos, she uses moss poles and has very good videos on pros and cons of them. From my personal research, Planks and trellises work just as good. I use plastic trellises and all of my plants attach to it. I don't use moss poles due to pest issues, in my opinion it's too big of a surface area to spray with pesticides and to awesome of a home for the pests to pass up on. I live in an old home in the southeast us, pests come inside on your clothes, and the window screens. I breathed on a plant, and it got thrips.... Also, when you water a moss pole your supposed to water it with the nutrient solution too and that can get expensive considering how fast they dry out. I believe moss poles are generally used by people who grow in green houses, the trending house plant people that show them using them in home usually spends a large amount of time tending to them. due to pests I don't use soil or moss poles, I use leca with a semi hydroponic nutrient solution and a plastic trellis. I haven't tried planks but that's because I'm too lazy to drylock the bottom of a plank so it don't rot.
Oof your albo looks pathetic. I bought a half moon cutting last october and i have 4 new leaves on it already. Also yours kinda looks like a thai constelation. Wish the video focused a bit better to see it. Mine is sitting halfway up my steps in a south facing window with indirect light. Maybe it will do better in a different location.

Lol you do you! Life is too short. We will be here to see your next videos when ever that is. Don’t spread yourself too thin. 🖤

9:03 i adore the lovely pictures of all your friends you have hanging on the wall! 😊
It nice to see you doing good! Honestly see you in other TH-camrs videos a lot when they film for the reptile expos😆
Can't wait to see you again someday soon 😆 mb we could get a leaf update, fingers crossed for a bit more green in the new leaf 💚

Usually the moss poles can help establish arial roots :)
glad to hear from you! 😁

Love you Tyler!
Nice to see you again.
Because with a moss pole I'm pretty sure roots will actually grow into/on the pole, whereas wood not so much.
You do you! I miss the regular videos but I’ll be here for when you do post. 😊 I also follow on insta but I suck about getting on there. 😬
you have life events that aren't documented on the internet!? that's just crazy.
Oh man. That monstera! I think it definitely wants a chunkier soil mix...look up Aroid mix videos for help.
Missed ya!!
I’ve been watching you for like ten years!!

3:53 100 gecs you say
Lol I post once a month… Also I love your plants and I'm glad all your pets are doing well! Good to see you again man your channel is awesome
5:33 oh... this looks inhumane
Can we get a "good leaf" tour please?
💚💚
💙💙💙
I saw your Icie at LKC!

I just let my plants grow on the walls lol
❤❤❤ Hi!!!
Show us those animals, mane
Pretty people don’t have to explain themselves, don’t waste your breath
Amen to that!
I can’t be bothered to watch the video but do you still have that tarantula?
