Hope you are keeping safe and doing amazing everyone 😊🌱 Thanks for watching!
sir, you need to post more regularly, your videos are very calm and relaxing while i’m taking care of my plants.
Thankyou so much! I'm intending to come back soon 😊 Watch this space - appreciate the support! 🌱🌱🌱
Watching from Florida. Beautiful Pothos.
Thankyou for watching ☺️ hello from Australia 👋👋👋
I love the drama bit. I spray my Pothos, but I immediately recognize the behavior. Thanks for the tip and the smile!
No worries - glad I could help ☺️ thank you so much for watching, it means a lot to me! All the best with your pothos 💪
I just bought one of these recently, and I'm delighted she brought me to your channel. You have such a lovely way of speaking.
Plant was sold as Njoy at Bunnings but I much prefer the name Snow Queen. Just watering her and seeing her roots popping out of her pot base after only a fortnight chilling under my lamp.
Thankyou so much - really appreciate you reaching out and the feedback on my channel! How exciting - I'm sure your snow queen will flourish in no time, they're super easy maintenance and grow really well! All the best ☺️🌱
So happy I stumbled on your video being Australia based
Thanks for stumbling by and watching ☺️ hope I've been able to help in some sort of way! 🌱🌱🌱
Your video cleared all my doubts about tis plant. I was getting yellow leaves and I was only able to learn that it is due to watering on the leaves. Thank you so much for this advice !
No worries at all, I’m super glad it helped!!! ☺️🍀 thanks for watching
Thanks for the tips James! 🥰
Anytime Jessie, thanks for watching! ☺️🌱
Another informative vid. 👍. Thanks James!
No worries Michael, always love hearing from you! Hope you're having an amazing/productive weekend - more dry walling perhaps????
@@simpleplanty Same James. I broke down and bought 2 black cardinal philodendrons so that moratorium is over lol. The drywalling is done for now. Just finished doing a concrete overlay on the countertop so need to seal that, do a mosaic feature behind the vanity and refresh the floor tiles. All that will be over the next few days however tonight I am heading to a comedy show with some friends. Hope that you have a great Sunday.
@@The_Planted_Eye_1 HOORAY for the 2 black cardinal philo's! I hope when you refer to "broke down" that it wasn't out of anything depressing :P Nice one! We now need a DIYMike channel so I can see all of your work - I consume heaps of interior videos on youtube (wooden timbers and concretes are personally my favourite aesthetic). Enjoy your comedy show Michael, and same to you! :)
Great vid. Thank you 🥰
Thank YOU for watching - greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend! 🙏🌱
Love your calm voice ❤️ thanks for your information 😊 from a fellow Aussie in perth 😀
No worries, Char! Really appreciate the feedback and thankyou so much for watching from all the way in Perth! Hope it was helpful 😊🙏💚🌱
Thanks for sharing everything in detail and keeping it to pothos only....it wl really benefit me....I hv started gardening only 2 years back so every tip is important...thanks.
No worries Suman! Glad I could help - pothos are real easy, so especially after 2 years, you should be fine! ☺️🌱
I am so enjoying your channel 🤩🤩🤩
Thankyou for enjoying my channel, really appreciate it 😊🌱💚
Helloo! Watching from Sri lanka❤️😍
hello!!! thankyou for watching from Sri Lanka
Thanks for the guide. I just got a Snow Queen today, and wanted to become more familiar with it, as it's the first plant I got for myself. I subcribed, in case I get more, different plants. Though, I'm a little anxious about pruning it, I'm confident how things will turn out.
Not to worry Dylan - pruning will promote the leaves to grow back ☺️ snow queen's are pretty hardy and grow back pretty quick when they're happy, so I'm sure you're on the path to success ☺️💪🌱
Great video as always :)
Thankyou Anna! Always great hearing from you and have an amazing Sunday! So close to the end of lockdowns for us!!!
@@simpleplanty You have a great sunday too :D that means BUNNINGS SOON
@@annak5792 omg seriously I MISS BUNNINGS SO MUCH LMAO 🤣🤣🤣

Hi Maya! Nice to meet you and thanks so much for watching! Hope you're plants are pretty and beautiful too - all the best with your plant care and take care ☺️🌱
You’ve inspired me to buy one!
(Also loveeee your mean girls reference!)
@@lenawiles1218 next trip - get the marble queen from Bunnings! 👏👏👏
Hey James! Really love your videos and always looking forward to new ones from you. I have a problem with my snake plant that I would like to seek advice from you. There are brown, dried out patches on some leaves of my snake plant that I am really not sure what maybe the causes. I put my snake plant on the balcony that has some afternoon sun during some time of the year. Watering, I water it when the soil is dry. Hope you can advice. Thanks so much.
Hi! Thanks for reaching out and appreciate the feedback! Brown patches can be caused by a number of different reasons and it really depends - some possible causes include fungal infection, underwatering or possibly too much direct afternoon sunlight. I generally don't expose any of my plants to direct afternoon sun as it's known to be a lot more harsh which could attribute to the browning. Try a shadier spot if possible - snake plants are know to be pretty vigilant through many lighting conditions though! Perhaps as a first step, try exposing it to no afternoon sun if it's convenient and see how that goes first, then monitor the other ones I've mentioned. Hope that helps 😊🌱
.. Maybe they have a little to much water?? 🙄 My Sanseviera, all of them, and my "arms and legs" (pencil cactus - though not a cactus at all but a succulent) are sitting in Eastern window and growing like crazy.. I water them when I remember, maybe once a month or every two month 😳☺️ I take them outside on my front porch, east side, the 1st of May and take them back inside in October before the first frost.. During that time I water more often, after sundown, about every other week, depending on how warm and how dry the weather is.. I clean them up before going outside and when coming back in, a wee tricky though, with a microfiber cloth and a spray bottle with seaweed solution.. Nothing more.. I hope your Sanseviera will get better soon 🌞🤗

Thanks for sharing💚Tamsak👍New friend here..stay connected..
Thanks Emz! Hope you are doing well and thanks for watching. Take care 😊🌱
So how often do you recommend fertilizing during the winter months? I just ordered my first N'Joy, and have since heard they can be rather picky.
Hi Noneya! Thanks for watching - I usually cut down my fertilizer during winter, but my general rule of thumb is that if you see growth, even during winter, then it doesn't hurt to give it a bit to stimulate / feed the growth :) Roughly once a month or couple of weeks. Hope that helps!
Yes it causes drama, mine had, after repotting twice, then already fine but I did water, and then died. I'm buying again coz it is a lovely plant. Thanks for ur video
No worries, Alexis! Hopefully all goes well with the new one! Should be relatively straightforward, thanks for your message 😊🌱
Could I wrap a cutting in the pot and top with soil. Will this work to promote a fuller growing pot?
Definitely can propagate cuttings and then replant them into the same pot! An old trick that I do with a lot of my plants - just note that fresh cuttings may need some time to root before they actually take off, I’ve tend to not have much luck just planting newly / immediate cuttings and tend to let them root first before I replant them. Otherwise you can use a few bobby pins to affix the vining stems into the base of the soil to promote more growth - another hack! Hope that helps ☺️🍀
Hi! I just got one of these and noticed there are brown spots on the leaves. I've seen some little flying creatures come of the packaging box so I suspect it's pests. Should I trim off the brown spots?
Hi Allie! Feel free to prune down brown leaves - I tend to do this in general so it promotes new growth (directs it energy to new leaves). Those flying pests are fungus gnats - there are multiple ways to get rid of them (I do have another video on the channel if you wanted to check it out). ☺️🌱
Hi It's been a while sorry I'm pretty late! Thank you for this great advice and I love your photos looks pretty happy plants and ofcourse all your plants looks happy😊 I'm happy to let you know that my monstera deliciosa produce new leaves couple weeks ago thank you for your advice.. I hope you are well keep safe always and Godbless🥰
Hello!!! Always so great to hear from you and it has also been awhile since I've uploaded a new video, so you're not late at all (I'm actually late 😅) I'm so happy to hear that your deliciosa finally has new leaves - did you do anything different? Although, it's spring time so your plant in general will be enjoying the heat 😊 how have you been? Hope you have been well and having lots of fun!
@@simpleplanty it's ok take your time I know how hard to put all your effort to make new videos and takes time to edit just take it easy and enjoy 😊🥰 yeah but it is only on leaf but I'm happy for it. I put it in a place where is bright direct sunlight and put some liquid fertiliser and like what you said in the end of this video I try to deep the aireal roots in to water😅 I want to try to change the soil nextime do you have any advice?
@@missa6782 Thanks for this - it really made my day :) no worries, it's Spring, so I'm sure after a couple more weeks you will have another soon! Haha - you actually don't need to be putting those aerial roots in water!!! But I'm sure your monstera is loving the new place you put it in. For soil mix, I use a premium potting mix (I mix cactus and orchid mix together at 30% & 30% - or substitute with 60% premium potting mix) and add in perlite for the remaining (so you can add spaces and aeration for the roots). I also add charcoal, but up to you :) Make sure you're using a mask when working with perlite, you should be careful not to inhale, so be safe! What stores do you normally shop for materials?
@@simpleplanty aww thank you so much😊 I will change the soil when I get the materials nextime. I always go in bunnings or porters or sometimes @ the local nursery but sometimes the price is way expensive. I need to make the moss pole too always keep all your advice in mind.. I'm more of a rose plants I love roses and only start collecting house plants last year..
@@missa6782 no worries - Bunnings is usually my go to, but I generally like visiting some nurseries anyway to support smaller businesses 😊 wow, is it difficult to care for roses? Would be amazing to see them bloom.
hello sir nice plant
Thankyou so much! And thanks for watching 😊🌱
couldn't you trail part of it and climb part of it? And have the best of both worlds!!😂😂 Mine is new. and too small to do either, yet!!😊
Hi Cherie - you definitely could! My friend is doing it with hers and I love it!!! I’m sure yours will grow and be able to do both soon / they’re pretty fast growers when they’re happy! ☺️
mine one is not as white anymore.. not sure if it’s watering issue or lighting as it is out in the balcony where there’s too much indirect light? 😭
Hi Monique! I don't think there's any need to worry as the leave patterns will change over time - I do 'feel' as if brighter lighting conditions will facilitate more of the 'white', but if it's out on the balcony getting ample sun, there's no need to worry 😊🌱
Hi! Thank you for the informative video! The white part of my snow queen pothos on a few leaves are getting brown spots, any idea what is wrong with it? I didn't wet the leaves, as well as watering it only when the soil is dry, I also plant in cactus soil which have good aeration, however I notice not long after I watered the brown spots start to appear.. Help! 😔
Hi Elaine! Thanks for your feedback and comment on the video - much appreciated! There can be multiple factors which cause brown spots on the snow queen - from not enough light, too much light, or too much fertiliser, so it all really depends. Do you know what lighting conditions you are keeping it in? If it has adequate light, no need to worry because, if your plant is growing in optimal environment conditions and there is new growth that you're noticing, a reminder that not all leaves will last forever, as old leaves will eventually yellow/brown due to natural turnover.
@@simpleplanty I keep it about a 6 feet away from a north west facing window, because I live in Malaysia, and the weather here is hot all year round and the evening sun is really strong. However it does have new growth quite often actually, like every 2 to 3 weeks there will be new leafs growing from 2 different trailing vines.
@@laineyyz direct afternoon sun is generally harsher which could be attributed to the browning - if you had a sheer curtain, that would definitely help the situation or if you had alternative convenient places where you could expose it to less direct afternoon sun would be ideal. Although, if it's growing quite well, might be a little shocked now if you want to move it. Hopefully that helped!
What about bottom watering it? I have one that was root bound and it is bushy and gorgeous, and I put it in a self watering pot.
In my opinion, bottom or top watering is entirely by preference - I personally don't have the patience for bottom watering 😂 but if you do, no worries and go ahead! Again, just an opinion but if you're quite root bound you generally want to be a little more careful anyway since the roots tend to trap the drainage below anyway and you don't want the roots to be overly wet / "ie wet feet" as it can cause rot. But if you've got an adequate draining substrate, no worries there!
@@simpleplanty Thanks for replying. Some plants do not do well with bottom watering, but I am glad I bumped into this video because that plant is so bushy it might be almost impossible to water if from the top and once you said it doesn't like to be wet, that was it. Thanks!
@@hennesseyme9112 no worries at all - I'm glad I could help! Thanks for watching and all the best with it 😊🌱
why did you stop uploading? I really appreciate your vids
Hi Bharat! Thanks for noticing - I've been extremely busy at my full time job, so haven't had any chance to upload new content as of recent. I hope to be back soon 😊🌱
We call snow queen the marble queen but has more white on leaves then regular Pothos Marble Queen.
I realised that was quite common in the United States! Where are you from?
California USA 😀
@@freebutterfly102 nice to meet you! 😊🌱
No. The marble and snow Queen are separate varieties. Both marbled. Snow has far far more white. Neither is the n’joy.
so in areas where it's colder outside, how do I tell if my plant gets too cold indoors? does the plant give any signs to show if it was too cold last night?
Usually some tell tale signs of my plants whinging of the cold is droopy / wilty looking leaves - but it's usually temporary if it's not an extended period that it's too cold indoors! You'll generally be able to notice this, though 😂
@@simpleplanty that is what i was suspecting. It looked better yesterday and it was droopy when I woke up. Thank you!
@@madalynyoungbird4234 sounds like they were a little cold - no worries, they'll bounce back 😊🙌
@@simpleplanty i don't have a thermostat or any control of temperature in my dorm room. How can I keep the plant from being too cold during the winter nights?
@@madalynyoungbird4234 I see - there are actually products such as heat pads which can be used/purchased to keep the plant warm in general (which is more so used to promote / stimulate growth), but I usually just let my plants suffer and get used to it 😂 how long have you had your plant for and how cold does it get?
What do you mean by pruning?! I’m a new plant mom and my bf just gifted me two new joy pothos
Pruning means simply cutting off the leaves ☺️ I usually just cut back damaged or wilted leaves as a normal routine exercise. How exciting - I’m sure they will flourish under your care!
@@simpleplanty thank you for your response and for making these informative videos!!! Would you go into depth of liquid fertilizer ? Or do you have another video that explains how to distribute it?
@@crylas3637 no worries at all - glad to help! Liquid fertiliser is amazing - you should look out for ones that contain NPK (nitrogen phosphorus & potassium). Ones I use here in Australia are by the plant runner and powerfeed and my plants go gangbusters for it. I’ll usually apply it to my watering once every 2-4 weeks during growing season (spring/summer) and cut down during winter. Just make sure you’re administering the right dosage from the product, as they are all different ☺️ hope that helps!
So do not wet leaves my little plant that u have has a spot
Of
Yellow on it
I find that they cause so much drama with wet leaves! Avoid if possible - probably spreads bacteria anyway 😅 hope that helps!
Where have you gone I need a new video asap
Hi Mishel - thanks for noticing, been really busy on the personal front, will try to be back with one asap, thanks for your support ☺️🌱
@@simpleplanty thank you 😊
@@Conuremomof2 no, thankYOU! ☺️
In USA the snow queen and njoy looks totally different
Hi Maya! Thanks for your comment - in summary, just simply what we call them here in Australia. If you google 'marble prince money plant' for example (what they call it in India, I believe), it's the same plant equivalent of what is called in the US an 'njoy' and in Australia, a 'snow queen'. Confusing, I know!
????
The snow Queen and njoy are COMPLETELY DIFFERENT varieties. The snow Queen is similar to the marble queen but more white. Both are far more marbled than the n’joy that has solid patches of green on white. Has zero to do with being in Australia. They are absolutely separate varieties.
I made a whole video about the topic here: th-cam.com/video/86t1oUgBx1Q/w-d-xo.html but now after reading your comment, I am still confused 🤣
A snow queen and njoy are 2 completely different plants.
Depends on which country you are from 🙊
Yup njoy and snow queen are same here down under. I can't found snow queen that looks like snow queen in other countries which seems marble queen but with more white splashes of varigation
@@eckehareckbert2731 how strangely confusing is it right! 😂
@@simpleplanty yup😁
@@eckehareckbert2731 they’re all beautiful regardless 😂 from where are you from!? Did you know in some parts of india they call it the marble prince!?
I like your happy attitude but you tend to speak fast., can you mistify the leaves when you will not water the pot.
Thanks for the feedback, Cynthia! I'll slow down 😂 I tend not to mist my plants in general because residual water on the leaves generally can lead to issues (ie bacterial, fungal, etc.). Hope that helps ☺️🌱
you speak too fast for me, relax
Thanks for the feedback 😊
