    I’m guilty of the same thing, buying a plant first, and then researching how to care for it. Most of the time I can accommodate plant needs, but every once in a while I have an “oops” moment. I don’t have a lot of plants (compared to you) but I have a big variety of plants that I really enjoy. I learn a lot from you. Keep posting your great plant videos!

      It happens to me a lot. I rarely go out with the intention of getting a specific plant. Only yesterday I made the mistake of "quickly checking IKEA for a couple of things while I'm already in the city" and I couldn't get past the plant section without buying six (small) new plants - and I definitely held myself back, because there were a lot more that looked interesting. Still need to do proper research on some of my new friends.

      Hello Mr Sheffield
      So a few days ago I put some kidney beans 🫘 in a pot (there was no soil/mud in there just a tiny bit of water ) and I was like I’m a few days I’ll put them into a pot
      (Because a couple of weeks back I saw a video on TH-cam that you can sow kidney beans in pots and they grow/sprout quickly and it was true because I put a kidney bean in the same pot. as my drancena there was a seedling actually amazing and this Wasn’t like a normal seedling was like a different type of seedling ) so then today I checked up on the kidney beans and what do i see THAT THEY HAVE SPROUTED 😱I was so surprised!

    I brought one of those mugs full of baby coffee plants home about 5 years ago, it didn't take long for most of them to die off, I was eventually left with 3 which I repotted, then that 3 became 1, the one which was clearly the strongest from the start. Clear natural selection going on for which was the most tolerant to my amature over-feeding. This plant is still going strong now and is fun to take care of as it seems to be constantly in change. Still no fruit yet though but the waxy leaves are nice.

    I agree with all the points made here. I've either done it myself or followed your advise from other videos and have had better results or understanding of my plants. The number one game changer was the direct light for almost all my plants. Things that I have placed in my garden in direct light have made my so called "low light living plants" look malnourished. I now no longer believe in low light plants. They ALL love bright or direct light. Humidity control was runner up. My plants outgrew the humidity containers I built so I gave up that and misting and now even the Begonia rex has been growing fine with the occasional heater blowing on them. I just keep the moisture in the soil on point, and group it around other plants. Truly mind-blowing how adaptable these guys are.

    I have more success with buying small, juvenile versions of plants vs large, mature ones. The small ones seem to adapt to my condo's environment more readily. Larger plants look great, at first, but don't seem to be as tolerant to the drastic change from the greenhouse to my central Canadian condo. It's also more fun to watch a small, baby plant grow bigger, than it is to watch a big, mature plant wither and fail.

    thank you for mentioning the cactus advice! i used to live in the desert and it always frustrated me when people assumed cacti didn't need watering because they lived in the desert anyway. if you ever lived in the desert, you would KNOW that place storms. when it rains, it absolutely pours and it is unrelenting. the reason cacti are the way they are is so they can retain that moisture and that rain, but it has to be a good soak for them to "fill up" again
    also, i have a question! how do you remember what each of your plants are named? do you have a document of them all, or are only some of them named?

    I am glad that your ficus elastica grows nicely. But if you are not happy how the branches are growing you can do wiring around branches and trunk so you can set branches to grow more wider... It is pretty common technique in bonsai. You can watch some herons bonsai videos on yt (he's somewhere around London maybe you can go see its nursery/garden center). I hope you have a maple tree in your garden which is good example how to prune and wire branches so you can practice

      Trick for mine is it needs more light to flower. I've only ever got Northern exposures, and my wife loves heavy curtains on top of that. 😅 So it'll go some months without enough light, and then I start feeling bad and open the curtains before work in the morning, and it starts flowering like it's going out of style.

    A woman visits her neighbour and sees all the beautiful plants her neighbour has. She asks, "How are your plants so gorgeous and mine are just so sad-looking?"
    The neighbour says, "The secret is - you have to speak to your plants. I speak to my plants every day."
    The woman goes home, stands in front of her shelf full of plants, and says, "Listen up, plants! If you don't start blooming within this week, I'll rip all of you out!"
