PHILODENDRON SPLENDID CARE VIDEO:
• How I Grew My Philoden...
-----------------------------
In this video join me (and Joli) for a super long 2 hour plant chores video! I imported some plants recently and they've not all acclimated as planned, so some major plant rehabilitation is in order. There have been lots of plant to do's recently - repotting, watering, dusting, pruning, propagating, repotting, potting up and soooo much more. My plant chores have been getting on top slightly recently and I've been feeling a bit burnt out and overwhelmed by all my plant care. I talk about plant burnout in this video, and some of the things I do to stay motivated when it comes to caring for my houseplants. Thank you to everyone who asked questions, and I really hope you enjoy the video!

I like watching people do things rather than hearing them talk about doing things. Good job Claire.
I think that's a great way to sum it up! Just a time lapse also wouldn't cut it for me but the feeling of doing something "together" makes me way more invested than talking about it
💚 long form content please 🤗 it definitely motivates me to take care of my plant chores while I watch your channel
💚💚💚 Absolutely love this long plant chores chatty content!
Hey Claire! 💚 90% of the time, I put your long form videos on and do houseplant stuff with you 🥰 but sometimes I watch them while I’m cooking too, it’s just great ambient, getting stuff done content! I love it!
I watched one of your videos where you said this form of video might help with our own plant burnout and you were absolutely right! Single-handedly helping me cure my own planty burnout. I could watch hours on hours of these videos Clare and im always doing planty stuff right along with you! Thankyou so much from one plant parent to the next!
Thank you for saying that about gnats and pon. I thought I was the only one experiencing that.
Claire, your plant house tour is the video that really encouraged me to start off my planty journey! I think I watched it 5 times in a row at that time, and I still come back to it to this day, because I find such great confort in watching it. I would love for you to do an updated version, I.m sure it's a lot of work but I reckon it will be worth it 🥰
Me too, thats the long one, when she was at her mothers house right? It is a pretty special video, I think its in two parts.
@@pennyred6195 I think it's right after she moved here, while everything was new and adjusting😄
same!
I like the longer format. It's hot in Aus now and unpleasant being outside gardening. So I watch these Sat morning and do indoor plant things, cooking, cleaning etc. Usually I do things I've been procrastinating on and frequently have ideas I'd not considered before.
💚💚💚 I watch your videos while working from home so I have a lot of time to sit and listen!
Eeeep I feel so passionate about this:
I have always scraped off the outer layer to reveal the underlying corm, and I have had a 100% success rate with my corms in fluval stratum. Covered in a container (much like the one you just cleaned out!) until growth really pops off. I was amazed the first time I tried stratum after years of water, soil, spagnum moss, etc. The time it takes it to sprout growth and roots is shockingly fast. And the plants make an effortless transition to pon once well rooted 😘 Hope that helps! My baby Jacklyn’s are so dang cute!
I see you have a lot going on in your life, plants, your boyfriend moving in and he is working at home, and trying to maintain everything in the house. You need to take a step back and evaluate life and see what it is that is getting you upset and overwhelmed. I was married to a man with ADHD and his normal routine was fine but if something new entered the picture, he would be stressed, and burned out from things, so something in your life is too much from your normal routine. I hope you find your way. - I love your channel and enjoy watching you.
😳
💚💚💚💚💚💚 I just get on with my day. I can’t bear silence so you nattering away about something that interests me helps my brain. I love a good long video where I can be doing housework and watch it at the same time without having to keep going back to the iPad to change the video etc. Sometimes I sit and watch but sometimes I’m busying myself. It depends 🙃🙃🙃
In regards to cleaning things, I’m one of those people that sterilises everything between use. Just a combo of being in a science degree that requires sterilisation and also having severe OCD (best career idea, I know!), I have to clean everything between plants. Nothing gets cross-contaminated at all.
It does sound overboard, I know, but OCD gonna OCD, yo.
Also, 💚
💚 loving the long form videos, but it’s all up to how you are feeling, so I’ll be happy with whatever you put out.
Hi Claire, been watching your content and page for a minute but first time I write. Nice to seeing someone do chores while explaining how to care for plants. Thank you for being true to yourself and what you do. Also Me time is important for the soul and as a person it’s what keeps us healthy. Take it from me a learned that a long time ago. You have to make time for Me time doing what you Love. So then you can take care of others ❤️❤️
💚 Long form is my Fave. It's motivating for me
I would definitely enjoy more long videos, they keep me so much company!
I only have 93 plants but I learn so much from watching your channel 😊 thank you
💚 Actually, I enjoy all of your videos. I think you should give a variety of all 3. I look forward to seeing more from you. Keep up the great videos.
I love doing my Planty chores along with you while you do yours! It gets me motivated and it’s good for me. I appreciate you.💚🪴💚🪴💚
I’m an artist and I listen to longer, chatty videos when I’m working in my studio. So it’s a 💚 for me. I do also like tutorials (I’m trying to become a better plant parent) but I like those to be short and to the point without any extra stuff.
Hi Claire, I am not discounting the comments about changing your clothes after handling plants that have pests, but I just can't see it. Hand washing after handling a plant with a pest and also trying to keep your plants spaced apart is a big help. I'm sure it is difficult with large collections. I totally enjoyed this video!!! ❤❤❤
Hi Claire! I’m really enjoying the long content you have put out recently. I usually watch planty videos to relax and these longer kind of videos are perfect for that 💚💚
Love the long content! Especially the cozy vibes/ montage scenes with music sprinkled in :) 💚💚💚
I’ve been quietly watching and going through nearly all your content “binging” 😂 and I have to say your content is fun, genuine and realistic. Love watching you and sometimes you make me lol 😂 keep doing what you’re doing and keeping it real for us all.. I watch a lot of content creators and it’s really nice to be able to share real life situations.. without all the perfect green leafage.. not sure if that makes sense! It does to me ❤
💚 i do plant chores along with you and i feel that you’re also informative as you’re working. i usually learn something new!!
Such a beautiful collection!! I love the whole vibe of this video 🥰
Just in case you’re curious, you’ll find the gigas appears and even grows much like the melanochrysum as its a hybrid of that plant, I think it’s other parent is verrucosum.
So generally they’re much easier to own yet keep the appeal of the melanochrysum. This may also explain the ease of rooting them as Melanos are on the whole easy to propogate but a pain to size up.
💚💚 absolutely love your long plant care videos as well as the informative ones
About the tortum, mine was doing exactly the same. It was creating nice big leaves in the summer and then in the autumn this started. I chopped it but it kept doing the same. So, I think it just wants more light. I moved it closer to the west facing window recently and keeping an eye on it if it gets better. Hopefully that solves it! Going towards the brighter days anyways 😊🌱
And YAAAYYY for Esmeraldense!!! 🎉💚🎉💚🎉💚🎉💚🎉💚
💚🌸💚🌸💚🌸
I wouldn't change clothes unless it was a thrips situation. I used to be a plant merchandiser. It was the best job, loving plants as I do. I have over 300 plants and the burn out was terrible. My health wasn't good so my husband told me to stay home and not work. This past year I have a better hold on my plants and a new refreshing feeling to getting them back to where they should be. They were suffering as I was. New year new outlook. Watching your videos again and feeling inspired.💚🙂
You’re on to a good start with resetting. 💚. Love your repotting vids. Thanks for sharing Claire!
Hi Claire! When I sprout corms I pick that brown stuff off. Unless the corms from the Jacklyn are in fact black. But usually they have the brown membrane and I scrape it off. I’ve sprouted corms that small before! You can too! Love you and your channel! Xoxoxo from Florida!
I agree, I thing corms grow these to protect themselves from damage. I have grown corms like that even without pealing the stuff off
Same. I had a A.J. corm in sphagnum moss for months doing absolutely nothing and I was about to give up on it. But I decided to peel off the brown membrane and within a few weeks it had started sprouting!
Never thought a smaller corm couldn't be viable. It will just probably produce a small leaf to start with and need some attention but totally doable
@@ingrida1121 saw that at sydneyplantguy
I love these!!💚💚💚 as parasocial as it sounds… I feel like we’re hanging out while I do my own house chores hahahah! I’ll watch anything you put out, so if you’re too busy and need to make short videos sometimes- I’ll still be here💚💚💚
💚Also i like not just plants that you do that we see. Like seeing you walking your dog and a glimpse of skincare and comic con and plant swaps. I love watching daily peoples lives too. Like thrifting, cooking etc.
💚 I absolutely love long videos like this. If there's a shorter video, I often feel like it goes forward too quickly and I need to watch again to catch something I missed... I feel like nowadays quick and short content is so popular that I feel like I'm in the minority with liking very long and relatively calm videos! I won't even do anything while watching, I'm just enjoying every bit of planty content with the people I like (like you). I watch these while I'm relaxing on the sofa or when I'm eating breakfast, dinner of evening snack☕🥪
It was so funny that you mentioned other youtubers' sun rooms and I follow them all! The world is so small. I'm too dreaming of my next home and I hope it will be a proper house with extra rooms for both my and my husband's hobbies. I want a plant room that can have some mess on the tables and my husband needs an office for his work and also for his many instruments and music studio equipment... I'm currently expecting a baby so soon we need a room for him/her too. Now we don't have an extra bedroom here in our apartment but I think a baby doesn't need own room for a long time... This year I need to downsize my plant collection so that I don't have as much chores, but that's not fun! I love growing vegetables on my balcony but this summer I probably can't carry as much water there as before😬 I would like to grow as much as before because eating your own vegetables is so fun and healthy.
Hi Claire, my Frosted Heart came from rescue shelf in a supermarket. I cut it, the bottom part is in an aroid mix and the upper part rooted in semi-hydro and that part is doing much much better. My plant care is a bit spontaneous, for example today (saturday) I started to water and transferring into semi-hydro my alocasias at 6.00 a.m. 😀 No plan at all. I am definitely for option of long plant chores videos 💚💚💚
I can relate to the plants in one spot where you see them regularly to remember to care for them. I was just telling my boyfriend that I feel silly having all of mine in front of one window because it’s the only one that isn’t shaded in my house and I can’t remember to water them when I need to and not forget any of them.
I have 2 chiapense, frosted heart and variegated. I grow them both in soil. The frosted heart is in my cabinet because it's rehabbing. The other is in room conditions and does great.
So I am currently getting the very beggings of creating my own plant nursery and growing our own food so I start seeds and transplant seeds while I watch your long form videos and it helps me focus soo much ❤
For the alocasia jackolyn corms I’ve peeled them so they dark hard shell is all gone and then put them on a paper towel and only misted with a bit of water and put on top of a heat mat so it creates a little greenhouse effect for them and all mine sprouted well ☺️
Oh I’m so very glad I looked to see if you had a new video. I love this style. I’m actually making air holes in my new clear pot for my plants I am repotting into pon, and I can watch while doing it!!! Thank you.
I’ve done corms that small before. I put them in moss in the tiniest little condiments container and it took about 4 full months for them to start to sprout. But they did!! And they look wonderful.
I don't sterilize pots but I wash them out maybe with hot water if they had pests. I just make sure all the dirt is out. If they are just getting up potted sometimes I just rub the dirt out and reuse it.
Love the long form videos as well as shorter top ten lists etc. personally not a fan of informative or care videos, but that's just me 💚🌸
I really enjoyed this video! 💚 And about the topic of changing clothes every time you handle a pesty plant, I wouldn’t do that unless it’s super bad and multiple plants at once. But just follow your gut feeling! 😁💚
Check the weather forecast for the next week, set an alarm for the morning of a warm sunny day, re-wash the rug, hang it out, and set another timer to bring it back in that evening.
I love your videos every time I have a question about plants i watchyour videos 😊
Thank you for talking about your apprehension to driving. I was in an accident last year (passenger) and I am unable to drive by myself and I am seeing a psychologist but basically, the PTSD is just striking fear in me. And hearing that I'm not the only one helps.
I realy like your long plant chores content💚
I love your home so much❤
I like the long content, I’m usually doing plant stuff or cooking.
Your long chores videos are the only thing which can get me through cleaning the house❤ seriously, I save them for later so I have motivation for my chores 😂
I just put my frosted heart on the moss pole, 4” plastic D shaped one that’s 24” tall. It has two growth points growing well but it’s only just been put on the pole about 3 days ago. It’s biggest leaf is 4-4 1/2”
💚 I love the long form/planty chores videos. It's honestly the only way I'm getting any plant chores done at the moment. I tell myself I can't watch your long videos until I'm doing plant chores myself (even though I want to watch right away). I've been able to get through some of the big things I've been avoiding for a long time with just the videos you've posted since New years. I love any of the content you put out, but I tell myself I can watch the short ones without doing work.
💚 love the long form content.
I've grown an alocasia Jacklyn from a corm in fluval stratum. I'm fairly new to plants but I bought the mother from Walmart and it died almost immediately from rot. I managed to find one corm and luckily it's doing ok. Just finished it's 3rd leaf but the original died. It's in a closed bin with a bunch of other Polly and pink dragon corms.
Mine was pretty small and I just scraped off the dark coating.
It really depends on how I’m feeling. Sometimes I’ll be repotting/watering, and other times I’m drinking my coffee on the couch with my dog watching.💚🌞
Love the longer videos especially with a little bit of Joli too! 💚
Love your videos!! Concerning the change of clothes with spider mites: no I wouldn't. Should I? Yes. I work in a laboratory in a different town, and one day I was working with a microscope under semi sterile conditions. And suddenly there was a spider mite crawling on my sample.. it crawled from my hair onto my lab coat into the sterile flowhood onto my sample..i worked with my plants the day before!
💚💚💚 loving the long video
🌞🌝🌞 I love learning about care tips and tricks!
I learnt to drive in my 30s. Passed 1st time but had masses of lessons.
I was born in a big city and public transport was great so no need to drive. Later I moved to as more rural area hence why I learnt to drive. I was also v scared, to this day I will get v stressed about driving to unfamiliar places/routes. I will only do it if I absolutely must. The longest trip I took was to go and pick up a stray dog that I adopted, it was picked up on a motorway by a nice woman member of the public. She could not find any owners and put out a call for help in rehoming online. So I went, a drive that was well worth it. I had her for 15 years. The dog I mean. A lovely lurcher. Brilliant dogs.
Aww that journey driving must have been worth it! I had a lurcher growing up, they're beautiful dogs
I really enjoyed watching long repot videos, I did some watering and made dinner while watching this one. You have so many plants I would love seeing a tour.
Girl, you are amazing, and your passion to plants so contagious
I am seriously IN LOVE with your space!! 😍😍 So beautiful!!
💚☺️ Any content you produce is fine with me. I have been using your videos to sit down in between bouts of plant care as a reward focus. Works wonders.
My chiapense frosted heart is the same height as my regular chiapense but the leaves are smaller and have a light coloured leaf and beautiful white veining on the newest leaves. Same treatment, growing attached to a 900mm stake.
I love the long form videos but any videos by you I know I will enjoy.
I put my chiapense in pot to acclimate and it is so happy. Then you can just skip the moss. I so dislike removing moss from roots!
Pon
💚. I love your content. I also loved your Genus specific videos. Maybe updates those now that you know more. Or specific plant highlight videos.
I have a giant repotting mat for working on my big chonks on the floor.
I also love thrifting plant pots, I’ve saved so much money
What about trying to peel the skin off those Jaklyn corms see if that’ll help prevent rot?
I don’t see why a wet stick without roots couldn’t take in nutrients, if it’s growing a leaf it would have to be, the wet stick takes in water right? I think roots are just extensions of the stick not the only way to get nutrients. But I have no proof, just my opinion.
If you pot that Alocasia especially deep into pon is there a fear of stem rot?
Hi Claire. I've given up on chemically treating for pests. I now high pressure spray down leaves with water. If pests are around during spring or autumn, I put the plant outside to let mother nature do its thing. During winter, I do a high pressure water spray and wait till the warmer weather arrives. Also, doing a soil repot can be a solution. Greeblies, can hibernate for extended periods of time. 🌺
my motto is "Propagate until theres no debate"
I don’t change my clothes unless I had to carry a large plant that had pests. I do wash my hands after each plant handling.
Hi Claire! Love the supersized moss pole 😍 May we have the Amazon link to the acetate that you use? Thank you💚
I need tips for keeping the moss poles hydrated…. Mine seem to dry out immediately even when I've soaked them in the shower and then watered with the watering can to double-check 😅
Did you pre moisten when you added the moss? Sometimes they can be a bit repellent and it’s easier to wet before adding to a pole and then keeping up
Yes but that was a year ago before my bf had to take over for a while when I had to take care of my dads affairs… bf didn't know about watering the poles 😅
@@PlantsNPawsoh I think then it definitely can have dried out too much in between 🤔
I myself haven't had that problem before but I bet a higher room humidity could help? Mine is around 60% and I need to water them about once a week (I don't have any large plants on moss poles yet so that could differ?
💚🌸🌝
& 🫶🏽 (literally whatever you want lol I'll be watching either way🤗)
Sometimes I do planty things alongside but most of the time I just watch and enjoy orrrrr my ADHD goes crazy & I'll watch you do something that reminds me to do something so I pause, go do whatever you made me think of, most likely find something else, fixate on that for a bit, & eventually return to the video lmaoooo.
And so the cycle continues 🤪
Love your videos Claire!!!
The tortum is on my wishlist, I think they’re ace!
💚🤔informative too
💚 and 🌞!
I really love your videos! All of them really. I would love a video (or just a few tips) on how to use spagnum moss for propagating. Mine rot immediately. I tried wet, dry, with grow light and/or heat mat. But I just can’t get it right. 💚💚
For my hoyas I have a lot of them in macrame hangers so they trail down and/or climb up the macrame hanger. I also like the circle trellises and bamboo trellises with vertical and horizontal pieces which gives lots of options to wrap the tendrils around. I feel the bamboo trellises would look very nice in your space 😊
I’m loving your recent videos! With regards to Alocasia Jacklyn (Tandurusa), I’ve just grown four or five from corms and they looked just like that - little raisins, lol. The ones I put in the “shallow puddle” rooted more successfully than the ones I put in tree fern fibre. I don’t advocate peeling corms (and I’m not even sure you could peel these ones) as it doesn’t happen in nature and you could introduce bacteria. The maturity of the corm is what determines rooting time, peeled or not.
I always peele mine and then disinfect them with hydrogenperoxid. Since I overwatered some in moss before, it was hard to see if they were rotting with the layer on top. Now I do them all in fluvial stratum and I just enjoy being able to see them as contrast in the black substrate 😂
I’m pretty sure the fungus gnats that spread in semi hydro is from not flushing, dead roots or other tissue and/or algae build up because that’s all technically organic. You should be able to eradicate them easily!
And the non rooted euphorbia should harden off much more very soon! That’s how they’ve always looked for me right after a chop! ❤good luck!
I’d def hold off on watering it a little longer til it’s fully calloused!
💚🌝🌺 I love them all! Thank you!
Hi Claire, I was just watching you try and find a big heavy pot for your splendid just a suggestion I bought one of those drillbits the other day for drilling holes in ceramic or anything like that. I absolutely love it you can put drainage holes in any pot and then you can plant directly into that pot and don’t have to use a cover pot if that makes sense
💚💚💚 but will watch any video you make :)
I use simple bamboo U-shaped trellises for hoya. I think the round ones look very dated and the bamboo works with my vintage/boho interior ☺️
I love the sound of these!
💚 My philodendron tortum has got one corky main stem with the same growth as yours! ? I did cut it back a bit, but it’s doing the same 😆
I found an alocasia jacklyn corm when I repotted my plant, I put it in the ml of water method, and it’s been in there about 3wks to a month, and I really thought it wasn’t going to do anything at all, but it’s just started growing a root and sprouting
Oooh how exciting!
I wish I could have a green house so bad. The worst is I am lucky to own a house alone as a 30 years old despite a low salary. I just don't have the money to get it done. My house has so much potential... In the meantime I'll just dream about it.
I am the same way if I don't see my plants I will neglect them a little
💚
There are a lot of people that are quick to push on what is the right way to do things when it comes to plants, and yes, maybe its is a good idea to disinfect tools and wash the containers, but most of us that are caring for hundreds of plants for a long time understand that you only need to do as much as realistically able to do without overwhelming yourself. For example I do not disinfect my tools ever, I only wash them if they get dirty, I never change my clothes, I only wash my hands, and so on, and my plants are perfectly happy and growing well, in fact, last time I had pests on my plants was a year ago. My advise is to not worry about all the right things you should be doing just because people tell you its the right thing to do, just focus on doing the bare minimum very well, like watering, fertilising, and checking and treating from pests. The rest of the things do just when you feel comfortable with doing it and it does not feel like a nuisance, otherwise you will overwhelm yourself and it will cause plant neglect because you will get burned out from plant care.
No, I wouldn't change again. I worked at the University of WI-Stevens Point through college and then was manager at a retail tropical green house (both years ago) and no... I wouldn't shower And I wouldn't change my clothes. Maybe wash your hands and forearms and call it a day.
NO I would not change again. lol
💚💚💚💚
🪴I'm enjoying your channel.
💚Claire, did you see the hanging mosspoles over at sydneyplantguy? Maybe that is something to consider.
