This has got to be one of the best videos on plant care, not only is it is so well-thought of and so informative talking about soil (which many others rarely touch on when they make videos about plants) but it also gives a very good perspective on sustainability that we should all consider in our buying habits! this is really, very cool - ill definitely recommend this video to my friends, lets be honest, it deserves so much more views. also, i think your personality makes it authentic and therefore far more interesting - please do not change anything. well done! i’m totally a subscriber and fan now! cheers
I really needed this video. Already watched it a couple of times. I really struggle with my soil mix and how to distinguish which plants prefer what type of medium. Probably my main reason I’ve killed some many plants. Ahhhgggg 🤦🏻♀️
For many years I couldn’t find such contents by westerner’s videos. Now, for the first time, not only I saw probably the best ever about soil video but also made by Asian haha… Super proud of you Sean. Semangat ya!
Loved this, you make an amazing teacher and your passion for plants shines in every video. You’ve quickly become one of my favorite plant channels! 🌿🌱🌵🙌😍
I've been watching your videos and I gotta say, I love your content, your attention to detail, and your clinically precise grammar, insisting on correcting yourself on aspects like parallelism and even thought organization (always conscious when you digress, haha). Being a plant enthusiast, a science buff, and a grammar nazi, I find this so gratifying to watch! Hahaha! Subbed!
The more I watch of your videos, the more I start to feel like you're my plant soulmate. Lol Seriously, your approach to gardening is exactly like mine- I play it by ear but with the help of stock knowledge, research, and common sense- like putting a layer of moss for added moisture. I also love gardening and mixing media with my bare hands, recycling plastic and glass bottles as rooting vessels, and am very picky with my containers (terra cotta vs plastic). And oh, yes, I also digress. A lot. 😄
Me: trying my best to make my begonia maculata survive while she've been fussy her entire life. Sean: Flawlessly showing a huge and healthy begonia maculata in the intro.
Haha... give her a fast draining/drying soil and pot combination, but water frequently. They dont seem to mind lower humidity so no need to mist/blow humiditier on them. Their leaves are prone to bacteria and fungi 😅
Woow , nice I am Like you chanel inspiratif, saya sangat hobby , saya miliki dari hasil hunting, seperti kadaka daun bawah coklat, hoya, pakis hutan,aglonema army, halomena batang red, rhapidipora daun lebar, alocasia calculata , caladium white, semua dapat dihutan sumatera, geopark Lake Toba, 👍👌👌
I just subscribed to your channel It looks joyful to the end, and most importantly, I see a fondness for plants, just like you.Happiness comes from your smile and me when you take care of these plants.
love to put your long videos on in the background, you're so positive and funny and have changed my attitude towards plant care! dying to know what the beauty is at 17:00?
The pine bark actually has some lignine in it, which gives the roots a kick start/ adds the power to the roots. So you are right, the plants like it 😊 (greetings from Finland ❤)
I'm glad you mentioned how unsustainable some peat moss collection is. I live in scotland where our peat bogs are supposed to play a crucial role in water distribution but since they have been decimated when it rains heavily we're experiencing more extreme flooding partly because it runs off land instead of soaking into it because of environmental destruction such as this. This year my house got flooded for the first time and i fear it will only get worse.
Its strange that peat moss manufacturers are swearing by sustainability the same way wood loggers are claiming the same. Our natural instinct tells us those things takes thousands of years to form, and we cant put it back there once harvested... a lot of wildlife require them to live.
Untuk media berbahan kelapa apakah harus diolah terlebih dahulu agar hilang zat tanin nya atau bisa lngsung digunakan? Mohon pencerahannya😀 Sorry..cann't speak english very well.. Thanks..
I love how you instinctively know what your plants need. I'd say it's a gift! I never knew that there is more to growing plants. I really am impressed with the content you put out. It's very informative ans explains a lot of things I am confused about. I'm even surprised how many other natural resources readily available to me can be used as a medium for airoids. Thank you so much!🥰👏👏
what would be a good replacement for burned rice hulls? you cant find them here anywhere and would need to buy them from etsy for like 50bucks for a kilo :/
Actually tiny bits of horticultural charcoal might work too. Ye might have to break them down to tiny tiny pieces in a bag, with a hammer, which can be a challenge but its doable. Just coco peat, perlite, and worm casting makes good potting mix too! Just water accordingly as it retains water for long
I haven’t watched a 46-min video here on TH-cam because I easily get bored. But this, one oh my god I really enjoyed every bit of it! Thank you Sean for this very informative video! I have killed so many plants in my life so hopefully It won’t happen again 😅
Loved this. Question: can you use cacao shells instead of the bamboo? Some of those mediums are hard to come by in Scandinavia. :D And when can you throw in guano?
Wooh Im not sure about cacao shells as I know next to nothing about it. If it drains well, and is somewhat anti microbial like bamboo I think its safe? The best bet would be peat and perlite mix… achieving an airy mix that dries a bit fast. You can throw in bit of guano whenever plant is no longer a cutting I guess… I would throw some on the top soil but away from the plants main stems as too much organic matter can rot the stem too. Its advisable to add only a little bit 😀
Be sure to get it from trusted seller as they need to have their tannins removed. Some say to soak them in water for few days and then dry them out completely but Im not familiar with the process.
Thank you for useful information. Anyway in Thailand, we mostly soak coco chip/peat in water for 1-2 nights before using in order to reduce "Tannin" that makes plants' root stop growing. We believe..
When you refer to soil I assume its conventional soil for gardening? They are usually sand/silt/clay taken from nearby mountains. Some could also be peat based taken from bogs/swamps. Every region has different availabilities and sources, hence it could differ depending on where you live. Do check the ingredient list if you want to learn more.
Really loving this channel, just started my own plant journey and I find your videos very informative, but also relaxing! Also, I can't help but giggle at your captions at the bottom of your videos xD now the compulsory question... What is that utterly adorably symmetrically awesomely stylish-fox-hat pyramid succulent at 22:36? :O I don't know why but I have strong feelings towards such awesome symmetries and I just have to know :O
@@onlyplants thank you so much!! 😍 I did think it will be crassula of sorts due to such geometry but couldn't find any similar looking 😅 i have so far killed one echeveria with too much love (water) 🤣 and probably a bunch of baby lithops who are still there but... 😳 thank you so much, again, for responding 😍
Such an informative video on soil. I wonder if there are any thoughts on using pine bark, and fireplace/fire pit wood carbon? I have plenty of fallen pine needles that collect, and dry out in heavy beds underneath the pine trees. I am also interested in using the hardwood carbons in my soil mixes from the fireplace.
Pine bark thats horticultural grade is good, but ones you find in the wild may actually contain fungus/bacteria or may rot easily. Unfortunately Ive not heard of hardwood carbons… your questions are worth looking into as they might be sustainable alternatives if they dont have any shortfalls. 😀
@@onlyplants Thanks for your opine on the pine needles. I was referring to to the shiny black carbonized wood that is left after your fire (whether it be a bonfire, or otherwise). 🙂
Peat moss (sphagnum) is absoloutely not sustainable. It is super slow growing, but more importantly the wetlands with moss naturally store carbon dioxide extremely well and we need them for exactly that reason now more than ever to mitigate climate change. These wetlands with moss are also important ecosystems that have been manually dug out throughout the last century to favour agricultural land in Europe and thus are now quite rare. For example, in my country many speacies of frogs and salamanders are now in danger of extinction largely because of this. Like you are showing us in the video, there are many more sustainable alternatives to peat moss. Let's all be responsible plant parents and care for mother nature as we care for our plants :)
I avoid peat moss at all costs. Havent purchased any in 2 years 😀 coco peat is a very good alternative so long as we amend it with compost for nutrients. Thanks for the share!
@@onlyplants That is absolutely wonderful! Coco peat seems to be a great alternative, especially in the southern hemisphere. Here in the north I find that we are really lacking alternatives, peat rules the market unquestioned unfortunately :( Also, I know this is an old video, but I want to spread the word about why peat is not sustainable to other viewers because I think more people should be aware. PS. Love your channel of course 😍 and I've been listening to plantdaddy podcast all day from your recommendation!
performance anxiety? you are so funny! this video is so helpful for beginners, if I didn't watch this, I will just buy the budget soil for any plants lol. knowledge well received, thank you.
This one has got to be my new favorite video of yours. Great as always, Shawn! Or is it Shaun or Sean? Haha. Anyway, love you always!!! Please love me back jk hahaha
New subscriber, have binged watched all your video. As a science teacher and plant mom, I love everything about your channel. Great content, beautifully explained and unique, humble approach. Thank you
Thank you so much for this episode! Although most of my houseplants are now in hydroton pebbles (which I chose partly for its sustainability, as it can be reused after sterilization), I’m still so giddy to try the more sustainable forms of soilless soil I can use for the rest. ☺️
onlyplants oh yeah! It’s essentially LECA. It does stress me out too! I wonder what to do if there’s still nutrient water in the reservoir, and the top LECA balls have dried up. Do you do just leave it alone or mist it?
Sangat Informatif Bang. coz of my lack in English, sayangnya saya butuh extra effort untuk mencerna hahaha.. Mantap Bang teruskan, bisa menjadi influencer houseplant Indonesia dan Internasional.
Haha makasih. Moga2 bisa inspirasi ke orang lokal create youtube channel untuk Indonesia. Too bad bahasa aku parah sekali ☹️ ga bisa communicate pake bahasa.
OMG, I learned so very much on potting mixes from this video! Mahalo Sean, for explaining in depth about what each ingredients is and what it does for the plant, which is most confusing to me! However, after watching this video, I have a much better understanding of potting soils!
This was very good , to the point info Sean . Many new hobbyists don’t realize these factors when they acquire new plants and wonder they’re not doing well. I had haworthias inside under good light, but they hadn’t changed any in a year /: I put them outside where they get warm sunlight and rain, and they instantly responded ! They were probably in a dormant state inside my cool dark apartment and the sun just woke them up . Tweaking the growing environment can make Big changes👍
I'm so glad I found your channel, and especially the soil mixes! I started to use cocopeat/coir and earthworm castings last year, and my houseplants love the change from commercial potting mixes. Edit: had problems finding both - I'm in Canada - and substituted cut up grapevines as the twig part.
Thank you😊💖you explained everything in detail. Now i finally understand the combination. Some youtuber just say the percentage of the stuff they used. Seeing u mix is very helpful. It's like peeking over the teacher's shoulders. Yep i love how you eyeball everything and feel using your hand. Now i think ill have more confidence to grow more variation and i hv to repot my plants as now i know the issues. Cant believe i ddnt discover ur channel sooner. now seeing at my premix soil i guess i need to throw a bunch of stuff in to fix it. Thanks
Its better to understand the function of each ingredients because availability, environment, and watering habits vary from person to person. One persons recipe may not work well with others. So I figured its best to just get the theory down and then everyone can make informed decisions on what to mix. And just have fun with it! Plants are adaptable!
So we can use the soil mix right away, right? Because usually the regular mix that uses mainly regular soil and compost needs to be fermented for like 2-4 weeks.
Brother is smart, can take care of many plants and the plants are fertile. I like this Chanel, because it is so careful to choose and distinguish each planting medium, for various plants.

Now i think ill have more confidence to grow more variation and i hv to repot my plants as now i know the issues. Cant believe i ddnt discover ur channel sooner. now seeing at my premix soil i guess i need to throw a bunch of stuff in to fix it. Thanks
Its better to understand the function of each ingredients because availability, environment, and watering habits vary from person to person. One persons recipe may not work well with others. So I figured its best to just get the theory down and then everyone can make informed decisions on what to mix. And just have fun with it! Plants are adaptable!
Love your passion bro
Thanks man 😀
So we can use the soil mix right away, right? Because usually the regular mix that uses mainly regular soil and compost needs to be fermented for like 2-4 weeks.
Yes you can use em right away 😀
Woah you guys use rice?? that's interesting. it's weird that sand wasn't mentioned.
I haven’t seen sand in any of the plant supply stores strangely enough...
