Epipremnum Cebu Blue care and propagation (with updates)
ฝัง

- In this video I share the care tips for the Epipremnum cebu blue, with emphasis on 2 possible growth patterns. One is a trailing one that will produce small leaves, and another will be a climbing one that will produce big fenestrated leaves. This is a beautiful plant with silver/blue sheen that deserve all the hype it got. I propagate this plant in water and in soil, and show you an update a few months later. I also battle southern blight in this video, a deadly fungus that kills plants very quickly.

I legitimately didn't know that the Cebu Blue can get split leaves!! One more reason for me to put this plant on my wishlist! I absolutely love the look of monstera deliciosa, adansonii and rhaphidophora tetrasperma so this plant is perfect for me!!
I learned so much in this video.
✍1. Wet sticks don't need to be big
✍2. "Leaf to root ratio"
✍3. Trail up for fenestrations and down for hanging basket
✍4. Sean provides invaluable information
Thanks Sean!!
Whoaaaaa you take excellent notes!
@@onlyplants And this moss poll was not worth it at all* 🤣
please don’t ever be sorry for how gorgeous your plant wall in the background is behind what you’re doing. trust me, we’re all drooling 🤤 🙏🏻
I love that you give so many updates. It makes watching all the more satisfying 🥰🪴
Thank you 😀
Found a huge hanging basket at Lowe's for $20. I practically skipped to the car! I've had her a couple months and love the plant so much I scouted for a second one. Found another one today buried under 30 baskets of ivy as if an employee was hiding it for later. Mine now!🙃
😅
Lmao imagine she goes back for it like omg I can't wait!!! And there's just a big empty spot in the middle of the ivy ...
Damn you🤣🤣🤣
Same here! Someone was trying to hide it and I couldn’t believe my luck. I went to another Lowe’s to look for others but no luck so far.
Sean, you are so cute when you say "sorry" to the plant🥰
Yeah. Every time you broke a leaf it made me laugh. Always remember that in gardening Sh*t happens!
Sean, you must be a Canadian at heart with all your "I'm so sorry..."
😅😅
Soaking the plant and pole might have help. Cutting the stems between leaves while it is still attached to the pole will enable you to pull each cuttings on both upper and lower part of the cuttings at the same time.
I really enjoyed and appreciate that you weren't afraid to show your struggles with propregation! 😂❤ Makes it really relateable! 👍
Haha yes I think we need to learn from mistakes too!
Because of Sean, my new hobby is air layering now. hahaha
We commonly see the common form of cebu blue, which is the dragon's tail, here in the Philippines. Locally called "tibatib". It's even easy to find them around metro Manila wrapping itself on an old tree and concrete walls.
The cebu blue variety is really rare, originally found in dense forest of Cebu island, hence the name. I have seen a lot of online sellers labeling the regular form as cebu blue, when in fact it's not. So be careful buyers out there. Though I personally love both of them. Even the regular form is a real beaty. Great video by the way!
I currently saw a video that described the Dragon tail as Bein the Cebu Blue hence the name and the one that looks like a Monstera as being the fake one. Many buyers are told the Fake one, which never has blue leaves is sold as a cebu blue, but later as the leaves develop and loose the Dragon tail form, it’s said to be a Young Plant? I don’t leave in the Philippines but why isn’t this plant BLUE when its a cebu Blue? I also have heard that both come from the Island of Cebu and are of the Epipremnum pinnatum art BUT one is Blue and the other isn’t? So what’s the truth? Logically I would suppose that if the plant isn’t Blue it can’t be the cebu blue.
You are so different and have so many different concepts and content for TH-cam videos comparatively other plantii TH-camrs... love to watch your videos with updates soo well explained.., thankyou ❤🌱
Aww I love how you were apologizing to the plant when you broke some roots and leaves. I do the same ❤ thank you for such an informative video! I also like how you showed the struggles and didn’t just pretend it’s so easy.
Thank you ❤️
5.21 "...and I'm so sorry for the background"
Are you kidding??? It's amazing, I love it 💚
I was born in Cebu and my Cebu Blue Pothos is one of my most favorite plants in my collection of plants. Their color is so unusual and the leaf shape too. Mine grew so much larger after I repotted it and had it outside in much brighter indirect light. It has now become so large and so heavy to carry. It’s still in a larger planter as a hanging plant y but so tempted to let it grow upwards to start its fenestrations. Love your videos! Thank you again!
I recently saw a video from the winding root where she explained the difference between this plant which is the Epipremnum pinnatum and the Epipremnum pinnatum cebu blue. As this plant matures it develops a leaf similar to that of the Monstera Monster plant and NEVER turns blue. Whereas the cebu blue develops the color almost immediately, and doesn’t need to grow out of the adolescence phase to obtain the color. My question to you is although both come from the same island, WHY doesn’t the green plant turn blue if it’s the cebu blue? She also mention that Many Owners of the so called cebu Blue have in fact the fake variety as seen in this video. Simply based on logic or the process of elimination, I use the concept of, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, What is it. So please explain this, since you live in the Philippians.
@@brianhardaway9716 I actually live in the US but was born in Cebu. I read about the Tibatib from someone and I know that to be quite common. The Cebu blue is a plant I acquired in the US. Mine grew quite large and full and it has allowed me to propagate several cuttings already. I can’t explain anything regarding your inquiry as I am no plant expert but I can only say things from my personal experience
Sorry to hear about what's happening in Cebu right now because of the typhoon. I'm trying to figure out if there's away the plant community's love of the Cebu blue pothos can be used to help with the crisis. If anyone else sees this idea and can make it happen, please do! 💚
@@brianhardaway9716 Hello. I'm from the Philippines. I have both the regular (green) Epipremnum pinnatum and the Cebu Blue. Aside from Cebu Blue having a silvery blue hue, when it fenestrates the leaves produce holes before spliting completely.
@@ProximaCentauri88 thanks a lot. I was tempted to get one but thanks to you and other Plant Parents I now know the difference. The plant that I was about to gets Mutter wasn’t a Cebu Blue which meant that the leaves wouldn’t split. There’s so many plants that are so similar sometimes that One has to be well informed or you will buy what you think is something and it’s something else. Like the Alocasia Polly and the Frydek for example where the leaf form looks similar but one is smooth and shiny and the other plush and soft. Thanks again for the help.✌🏿
Sean!!!! Ouchy!!!! only Sean can be this daring propagating this precious Cebu blue...so brave...so...so...brave😂 I just acquired one 3 weeks ago and I've been babying it...something to look forward to in a year's time....cut...cut...cut ✂️snip...snip...snip.🤣
👻 snip snip
After watching...i just made a moss pole for this Cebu blue of mine, I was wondering why it was giving out smaller leaves...I always learn new things when watching your vlogs. 😀
We have lots of this plant growing naturally under big acacia trees. I wish I can show you how beautiful the view is. Love from the Philippines. 🇵🇭
❤️❤️
Hands down one of the best plant channel out there ❤️
Thank youu 🙌🏻
I appreciate how you give us updates of months later in the same video. I would think this would be an editing nightmare. Keep up the good work! Your plants are amazing!
Haha thank youu
Omg, I just got a small cutting from a young lady that was buying the very last one in a Walmart store that happened to be very damaged but I was able to get about 5 nodes from the little stem 😊…I had no idea that cebu blue could grow such large leave and get filtrations!!! This is so exciting ❤️… Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏
Me too, I was already happy with the bluish tone of the leaves... mine I purchased from a very wealthy individual who I met online here in the Philippines... she had soooo many growing on her huge garden and she just want to tame it a bit and sell whatever she can, I got quite a mature one and it was flourishing! It was very cheap because there was no middle man and she put it in a nice pot and cocopeat too! I'm excited to see how it goes!
I love this! It is a very educational video to learn about cebu blue!
I love your honest and sincere video! God bless you! Learned a lot! 💛
Thank you ❤️❤️
Love this video! I have had a little cebu cutting that’s been on the struggle bus since I got it. So, I got a more established one and she’s doing great. They’re definitely a challenge to propagate.
I had no idea Cebu Blue could get fenestrations! Thank you for sharing 🧡
Most epipremnums have amazing fenestrations 😀 this includes the pothos
i cried when you cried. I rejoiced when you rejoiced. I cringed when you did, as well as got excited for surviving plants as you did. This was a journey and I thank you for sharing. Going to check the Insta account now
Im from Cebu Philippines and I also have this plant. Thank for sharing your video.
You're becoming great at plant programs on TH-cam Sean😌👏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟I'm enjoying your content so much💖
Thank youu
This is exactly what I need to know about Cebu blue.👍🏽🥰🙏
Thank you Sean, always, good luck with controlling that kind of fungus, interesting enough I m dealing with needle blade fungus in one of my pine trees, was difficult to figure it out en the beginning, now I m treating it with copper fungicide and trying to save the tree, is interesting because my area is pretty dry but Nature is nature and always keep us wondering. By the way I move my cebu blue to a moss pole long ago when you mention in another video, growing crazy but not split leaves yet. 🙏🏻 Always
Shawn you are so cool ,you are a rist taker ,I love your confidence.
Ueah cebu blue from the Philippines, watching from the Philippines
This is soooo good to know.. I did not know that my Cebu blue would do that.. so I made a moss pole for it!! and I love your updates...keep it up
Thank you 🥰
I had problems with my cebu,. Indoor plant that i had not watered for months because I know how emotional they are. It dropped all its leaves when I cut it up and now they're all wet stick propagations... This video made me feel much better
I was cringing the whole time you were wrestling with that monstrous cebu! It was so beautiful 😟. At least you have got some beautiful cuttings and a gorgeous plant.
That plant is so massive now after 6 months. 😀
I felt heard in this episode 👏🏽 😩
80% of the time when I do everything for my propagations and it’s the one that I’ve forgot about that successfully survived 😂
Ouch ouch!!! I'm staking up mines now as am watching you what a beautiful plant.Merry Christmas and happy growing and stay safe.
Love my Cebu. I actually had to move mine to less light in order to keep its pretty bluish-green color. It was getting indirect light this winter from a grow light and its leaves actually loss that beautiful bluish sheen.
Awesome video, Shawn!!!
Thank you for your sacrifice! I guess it was good you did it since it had blight 🤷♀️
You have the most beautiful plants I’ve ever seen😍
🙈
I just noticed you've been making videos for almost a full year! You're an incredible educator and plant papa! I really like the cebu blues but I haven't been lucky enough to find one in my area
Thank youu
I wasn’t ready for the “everybody died” scene 😅😂
😅😅 its a nice plot twist right.
I hAd zero clue Cebu Blues can get fenestrations climbing up! Thank you for all your efforts.
Give it a shot. These leaves in the video are so massive now, twice my face 😀
I just love this man ❤️
The amount of times you say “I’m so sorry” in your videos 😂
Very cool!
I was so happy to see the entire plant didn't just up and die. Cebu blue is one of my favorites simply for that leaf color. I have a tiny one with four leaves on it that hasn't grown at all in a year's time. It will put out a new leaf and then an old one dies. Rinse and repeat. I'm hoping that this summer's humidity will help it along but it's not quite here yet. Another couple of weeks and then I can put it outside. Looking forward to your updates on yours 🥰
Pepe la romia
Haha thank you Pepe 😀
oh my gosh it’s so beautiful 😍🥰
Love all videos .... fun to watch ... 🎋🎋🎋
Love your videos! I find cebu are hard to propogate as well, I don't think it's just you. It's about 50/50 success rate for me. The southern blight you were dealing with definitely didn't make it any easier for you either 😅 Thanks for all the awesome plant content !!!
Cooooool happy to hear Im not alone with my struggles to propagate these 😅
I watch this for like 5x today 🤭 not consecutively at least...and made me realise that I have a Cebu blue lol. Thanks sean 💚
😅😅
Love your videos Sean!
Thank youu 😀
Nice plant my friend congrats ty
Yayy!!! 🤩 I love cebu blue!! PI represent! ☺️ Aww that’s so sad they have a hard time finding there now:(
Thank you so much for your videos 💚🪴
Thank you for sharing.
I have this plant but not sure its name.. good thing I was able to find your video.. hope to see mine as lush as yours 😊
I love your videos & ur voice!
😀
I love that you show your "struggles"! Lol. Thank you!! Sub and Video SAVED!
Haha thank you ❤️ welcome to the channel
Orange lake nursery in Florida just shipped me this plant. I'm watching lots of videos on how to care for it. Thank you for the information.
Yaye
Still a great success I would say....I think the wet sticks ones will soon be bushy and long and make you happy... thanks for sharing your tips.. :)
Quite ironic, Cebu Blue is more common overseas very rare to find in plant shops here. By the way Sean, your Cebu Blue is gorgeous....
Thank you 😀
It's because you can find this anywhere especially in the mountains or even in the city climbing on tree .. it's just became known when monstera hyped ..the sad part is some sellers market this as monsteras with monstera prices when you can just buy this under a dollar ..and there is 2 types of this ..epipremnum pinnatum green ..and cebu blue with a tint of blue on the leaves ..
@@oh_emm278 the green one you're referring to, the epipremnum pinnatum is the common one we see climbing up on trees along the metro. That blue one is really hard to find. Some told me that they were able to see a real cebu blue in the wild, i mean it's really in a dense forest.
I'm just hoping that the wild population gets protected by the local government. Such a real natural treasure
Those are some amazing fenestrations. I am going to put mine on a moss pole because it looks like a totally different plant!!!
And much more expensive too when its fenestrated 🙉
I am following, from Philippines. Love your video.
Thank you 👻
My first reaction was..."Whaaat! Ouch! ...Noooo!" and then I realised this is Sean..breathe... master propagator knows best :-) I take away confidence building measures from you hahah!
Haha I think I know how to do it better next time! 😀
This plant is rarely seen in Hong Kong too. On the whole, other than common Epipremnum aureum, the rest are not easily found. I love its bluish tinted leaves! 💙
Great video. After you said that you couldn’t wait for the plant to climb up and get leaves 10 times the size, I immediately paused to check the date of this video hoping and praying that it was from like five years ago but nooooo😔😒 4 months!!! so I guess I’ll have to wait, in real time, to see what they’ll look like.😃🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
The top cutting now are producing massive leaves now haha. This must be 8-9 months since the video
I live in the Philippines and I bought my first Cebu Blue in 2019 for an insane price of 1,500 pesos or about $25 (US) which I found expensive for a plant that's endemic to my country. Mine has multiplied quickly but haven't' fenestrated yet. I should give them a better pole. I find Cebu Blue more beautiful when grown next to a regular green pinantum because their different colors are highlighted. Terima kasih for the tips!
Whoa thats an interesting tip, growing them next to green plants
@@onlyplants Do you have Epipremnum pinnatum "mint"? This one is grown by Neil, a plant enthusiast from the Philippines th-cam.com/video/kpGyAV3f7vE/w-d-xo.html
😍 Beautiful, I’ve yet to see this plant in England 🇬🇧
I’m originally from Mactan Island, Cebu, now based in San Diego, CA, USA. That plant used to grow everywhere especially in the mountains climbing on big trees in the mainland. Unfortunately, it’s not very common anymore in the Philippines. I got mine from Amazon. ❤️❤️❤️
Whoaaa thanks for the share
The Cebu Blue is in such a demand here in the states. I managed to find a small plant of it that I have trying to get growing. It's taking me a while but I'm hoping it will be nice and bushy by the end of the year.
oh. that’s what almost killed my silvery ann that southern blight fungus. 😢 i thought it was because of banana water and bokashi. will read about it more. but thanks again, sean! 😘
Wow! Never knew they can have fenestration!!😮
Oh yes they do haha
Hello I'm from Philippines but not in Cebu.
I think that the dragon tail and cebu blue are just one. I found this plant in a jungle near us. On the forrest floor it has small blueish dark green leaves as it creep towards trees to grab on the leaves grew bigger and more fenistrated. Its leaves grow so large like a monstera deliciousa.
#freeplants😁
This only the 2nd video.ive watched of yours and it's the 2nd video I watched you absolutely rip apart plants with no chill whatsoever 🤣 the 1st one I watched was the rubber tree video and I had to shut my eyes lol
Haha omg the other propagations are not this scary! Haha usually they are more relaxing and chill
You are amazing 😻
🙌🏻
I got a cutting with 3 leaves and one foliage coming. I cut it into three and started with water prop. I lost the new foliage and one leaf started yellowing. So I tried perlite prop, and that was doing nothing. Finally, I just put it in sphagnum as my last hope, and surprisingly rooted super well! It's now in soil with the 3rd generation of growths! The new leaves are tiny tho, but it's definitely hard propagating it haha.
Looks like they are not the easiest to propagate 😅
I had 2 wetsticks from my cebu blue and they took a loooong time .. had em in moss in my milsbo cabinet. mine is still a juvenile so no fenestrations yet but I'm letting it climb now :)
Whenever I propagate Cebu blue wet sticks, I do it in sphagnum moss in an airtight container and give it a bit of fresh air every couple of days. It will sit under a grow light because I am in Northern Canada, but so far every single one has rooted and been able to pot within a month!
Whoaaa cool. Wet stick props are so much fun 🥰
I’ve had a whole cutting with 3 nodes in water for a couple of weeks now not knowing how to proceed. Thanks for this idea of sphagnum moss in a terrarium setting which I will definitely do asap. Is it also viable to use peat moss instead of sphag moss?
@@ma.reneemagtibay-rivero8059 I've not used peat moss for them personally, my worry there is that it would be too moist and would rot - but again, im not sure!
Wow 😮
Omg my heart was broken when cut the plant 😥, lucky you still have one beautiful alive Cebu with fenestrations 😁! My Cebu don’t have fenestration yet, hope one day... will have that big leaf with fenestration.
Its so big now 🙈 that top cutting in the video
Thanks idee...
So nice
Thank you 😀
ornamental vines, greetings Indonesian vanilla farmers🇲🇨
I have this at the back of my house here in Philippines, just put it in your backyard where it can climb. Just let it do its own thing and you will be amazed
❤️❤️ yes mine has gotten so biggg I had to chop it down
your plant is gorgeous! Ithink I prefer to keep mine small and bushy without fenestrations though bc this looks a bit like a monstera :)
I really felt your pain when you snapped the second leaf and then mushed the end of your cutting with the secateurs! Been there so many times 🤣
I'm sure a plant that size grew back very fast!
Oh they are huge now 😀
Holy cow Seannnn!! I could hear the roots snapping every you pull the Cebu Blue on the pole. 🙈
Haha its like a horror movie right... suspense and thrills
I have difficulty looking for cebu blue and i'm in the philippines too. My dream to have a a mature plant like yours someday 😊
Ouch . Gotta do what ya gotta do. 🌱❤️
I have a very fenestrated M. Siltepecana. I airlayered the growth that grew beyond my 5ft pole so I only have to remove the leaves the free off my pole.
Cebu Blue here in Philippines is everywhere (here in Mindanao at least). People even sell the "variegated form" here in our town.
I have a big full basket of cebu I need to repot and start training to climb up. I was thinking of growing them up a board.
kamusta, the ce in cebu is just like how you would pronounce the ce in celery.
although the way non filipinos say it has a nice sound to it as well- hehe sea blue 🌊
Oooo I love the local pronounciation se-bu blue too!
I'm from Cebu and ever since i saw your epipremnum cebu blue I've been trying to get my hands on one of those and i STILL haven't found one.
Attach a second moss pole on top of the first moss pole. When the plant grows to the top of the second pole, cut the stem where the two poles meet. Boom. Two full moss poles. Makes propagation easier
Whoaaaa
love watching ur videos... very helpful
If your planning to propagate again. I would make a miss pole that’s mesh with a loosely packed moss and then cut the pole up/ open to work the roots out. The plant as a seller or owner is worth more than a cheap pole . Would likely cut the nodes in situ before dismantling … pleased the main ones are doing okay 👍🏻
Thank youu. They are now hugeeee and climbing up 2.5 meters up a wall 😅
cant wait to see it after 10yrs 😍
Wish I had a time machine 😅
😂👌🏻🍃
I enjoyed your video a lot even if this is the most stressful propagation video I've encountered. Hahaha... I guess the plant experienced much trauma it needs to see a plant therapist! ; )
Haha I definitely know how to do it better next time 😅
