As alway thank you for watching 🪴 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
When I moved into my boyfriend's house, he had a snake plant in the bathroom that I took over (both the room and the plant, lol). Said it was the only plant he'd ever kept alive, and he's had it for a LONG time but never repotted it. So I put it in a new pot. The soil was like a brick, and there were almost no roots. >< I thought for sure I'd just killed his plant by finally giving it attention, but tonight (months after the repot) I noticed there are baby shoots coming up! She lives again, and I'm so happy!
Ok but isn’t a plant a “he”? English can be so confusing lol.
@@nickoru1 objects like plants don't actually have genders in English. A gendered term like "she" is used here as a term of endearment. The owner of the object gets to determine the gender endearment used.
@@PriusRaj yeah I guess you’re right. Some of my plants are a he and some a she. I think a rose would be a she and a tulip would be a he.
Of course snake plant is he😋
Hallo from Piraeus, Greece. Here we really have an abundance of light !!! 😎 Nonetheless I always enjoy your videos so instructive and interesting in the way you present them. Keep up the good work!
I got myself Dracena Janet Lind after your recommendation. You can't believe how difficult it is to find this plant in Poland! Thank you 🙂
Finally, a very useful, informative video on plants in low light. Thank you so much for leaving all the nonsense out and giving us solid info!
Good luck getting bloom out of a Hoya placed in low light conditions. I love the hoyas, because they are cat safe.
Man. If I left ANY plant down where my cats could reach it, I wouldn't have a plant left. I guess it'd be better to have an eaten plant that wouldn't kill my cats, but sometimes when I find it's happened, I almost think otherwise. (okay I never ACTUALLY wish they'd be harmed, but it DOES make me really angry!)
Your videos are just great. Thank you and Blessings 🙏
After some time of watching your videos, suddenly I have questions. First, thank you so much for these excellent quality videos. I realize I'd watched others on TH-cam and their information was inaccurate. But you guys are the scientific ones. So grateful for you!
I have a nice large southern facing window and I live in a townhouse so I don't have many options. But I've been told that if I keep it a distance of 2 feet from that window, even if it's getting hit by the sunlight that's considered indirect because of the distance. I have four plants and three are doing well (eyelash begonia, umbrella plant, Hope Peperomia), but my Thaumatophyllum Xanadu which is my favorite has a few stems where the leaves are now light green with yellow on the edges and drooped and the sun is not of summer strength yet here in New York State USA. It's in a self watering pot that I let dry out between waterings. I do believe it is becoming root bound. Thought I'd start with asking is 2 feet from the southern facing window considered indirect light? If not, is 3 feet (almost 1 meter)? Or is it - get it the heck away from the southern facing window?
If the latter is correct, then I must use a grow light, but that seems to me to be direct light once again? I see options for red spectrum grow light, blue spectrum. Ugh
I found the answer watching your five tips on light. Thank you!
We really need to stop using the confusing term such as low light, medium light, etc. Different people have different ideas about "low light", and our perception of "low light" can also be distorted. For example, an outdoor shade feels very dark due the the sharp contrast with the sunny spot, but it actually has much more light than the indoor spaces that we deem as bright. And a room with dark walls and furniture feels much darker than a room with white walls even though the former is much brighter in the sense of foot candles.
I would add Schefflera arboricola to the list. It doesn't grow much in low light but it doesn't seem to suffer too much either.
My aunt had a large peace lily in a very dark hallway for years and it did well too. Didn't bloom but remained lush and happy otherwise.
Thank you for all your great content! Hoppas ni har en fin fortsättning och ljuvlig vår!
So nice to see your tips again😊
You give good advice you know plants ❤
All your plants have shiny leaves and healthy. How do you keep it that beautiful?
It's a dark magic
Richard,.thanks for sharing this information tips and keeping it real.with out the nonsense.good Videos.thank you so much.take care.
Thank you! This was so helpful
please make a video on Machera plant !
Thank you 💚🌿
Thank you ! Great tips ! Greetings from Miami 🌻
Thank u 4 the thorough explanation. Gives me alot 2 reconsider
Thank you for the great advice , i have all the plants you mentioned . Im more now confident on how to grow them after listening and watching your well explained videos im learning more . Love from Ar. USA.
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed listening and watching you tell us all about low light plants. As always very helpful and useful information. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Great video ❤🪴thank you
I bought a light meter and need to learn to use it. What qualifies as low light in foot candle or Lux? Either unit is fine as it easy enough to convert between the two, especially since we need approximations.
Thank you for creating these very educational videos.
Thank you for this! I have two great "greenhouse" windows on a flat south wall but they're rather small and that's about it, when it comes to lots of light. Two large windows in front, but they only get about a half hour of direct morning light as there is a covered porch. The rest of my windows are either shaded by trees or north facing, just a few feet from my neighbor's house.
Weird question: Can you acclimate plants to be moved around? As in, from light to low light, to being next to various "friends" and in places of different temperatures? I also like to give them various rocks in their soil that they can explore with their roots - or, sometimes, little terracotta balls - as I think it must get very boring for houseplants sometimes.
A friend also said he put an aloe vera on a shelf in his mother's closet when he moved out and that it was still there and still the same, months later.
I also dose my house with low levels of ozone periodically and the plants don't seem to mind but wonder if it can create cumulative issues...
I meant to ask - are you interior plantscapers? Will you be showing us one of your installations, if so? Or are you growers? Can we get a tour of your greenhouse? Give us more of a glimpse into your day to day!
Hello from Canada 😊 could you please make some videos on some common flowering plants for zone 5A 5B ?
Great video! Please do one of plants that can handle draft, dry air and cold room temperature well for us folks living in the north ☺️.

Those rubber plants grow into huge trees here in central Florida and South Florida
My rubber plant was very unhappy in low light conditions. It stayed a couple of months in one window (n facing) and hated it. So I took it to work where it had a brighter window (w facing), it stopped dropping leaves but still looked pitiful. After a few months there I’ve transitioned it to our patio (s sun) and it’s been thriving. I don’t think I’ll be able to move it back in now.
Hi from slovakia (middle EU ) can you please make a care video about lucky bamboo ? I just bouth two of them week ago and on TH-cam there's not a lot of helpfull videos about keeping them in soil and how often you need to fertilize them to grow them fast
I am pinching back my fiddle leaf fig at the top so it does not grow taller. Does that also mean I never have to repot it into a bigger pot? It has gotten some new leaves off the sides, but not many. I saw you cut roots from a plant saying you didn't want the plant to grow bigger, but it was the roots that extended into the self watering pots water reservoir. So maybe that is less harm?
Hi, my Mom has a rose of Sharon bush that hasn’t grown any leaves yet. How can we tell if it is alive or dead?
For purchasing you often speak of choosing the plant with multiple stems. I assume this is for aesthetics but not sure.
I was buying a ficus ruby. I wanted to start with a smaller size, but the smaller ones for this variety were single stems. So I thought I will buy 3 and just plant them together in one pot. But then I wondered how close do I plant them at this smaller size? With landscaping outside, it's very important to know the ultimate growth width and plant accordingly. Would that be the same for this house plant?
Also, when you mention choosing the plant with multiple stems, does that mean it's the healthiest? Or is it just worth more because it's been pinched to achieve nice form or depending on the plant - multiple stems were planted together rather than pinching?
I found the answer watching your Pothos video. The multiple stems are so that the plant is more full. Totally makes sense for me for a plant like a Pothos but if I’m doing a rubber plant that grows pretty big I’m still wondering if I should do that and if so how close together with a place them
Viking pumice dudes, hello!
my ficus elastica robusta disagrees 😉he was rather unhappy in the same lighting conditions as my epipremnum.
Please, can you define what do you mean by low light in lux? Low light below 1 000 lux? Or do you mean at 500 lux?
Hi guys ☺️ hopefully you see this and have time to answer my question - I repotted my Monstera and the soil was extremely poor because it was so root bound, to the point where I couldn’t even water the plant because the water was just running off the surface of the soil and couldn’t even penetrate it. I repotted and I teased apart all of the roots, and I removed ALL of the soil and detangle all of the roots. A lot of people told me afterwards that this was really bad to detangle the roots and that my plant will probably die because of me messing with the roots. Do you think this is the case?
I kind of didn’t have a choice because I had to get it out of that hardened soil in order for me to be able to water it. I see some people say that it’s good to tease Monstera roots apart and I see others saying that Monsteras prefer their roots to never be loosened. What do you think?
I’m pretty sure your monstera will start shooting new leaves shortly.
@@_evangelina__ I hope so! She’s having a bit of a strop and is drooping a lot but I know that can happen so I’m giving her some time to bounce back

Why are my plants develop yellow leaves right after watering?
