I grabbed one of these half off at a nursery early in 202 not knowing what it was, but knowing it could be beautiful. I’ve since split it into 2 pots (because it was 2 stems) and they have both been thriving. It’s big, but it’s also beautiful and steady and has such a cool and chill vibe. Love these guys!!!
Thank you, Kelly! I love mine also! They get big and take up a bunch of space, but I like it! Gives off serious jungle vibes! Thank you for watching my videos!
I bought this plant 4 years ago..is big and beautiful..looks just like yours..it has never given me any problems....people usually get surprise how I take care of it...I just add once a week...a handful of ice cubes..and that is it..this plant loves it ....I cant do that with any other of my plants but this one loves it for me...thanks for the video.
@@plantluxxe shes been inside since I bought it 4 years ago...I clean her leaves with a wet sponge with a little of coconut oil..she loves it, she gets very shiny....
Just found a huuuuge philodendron Rojo Congo at my local Pike’s Nursery today! When I tell you I screamed and then nearly cried 🤣 because it’s so beautiful. I had seen the green version in the nursery but never the rojo Congo. If anyone is looking for one in atlanta, head to Pike’s nursery in Toco Hills
I ❤ what you said about buying miracle grow potting soil inside the store rather than a bag sitting outside the store...I bought a big bag that was sitting outside and wound up with a fungus gnats infestation After using it for probably 3 or 4 plants, I saw a little bugger flying around inside the new bag of soil...fast forward a month, still battling the gnats with a peroxide/neem oil solution and allowing the plants to dry out between waterings I'll take your advice and stick to buying soil inside
Oh wow! Get Mosquito Bits. Thet will kill those suckers pronto! I think I gave a link in the description. You'll love those...bye, bye fungus gnats! Thanks for watching my videos💚😍💚😍
No more Miracle Gro for me. Last 2 bags were infested with gnats. I just emailed them to complain. Bought them on Amazon too. Disappointed in Miracle Gro😢😮..I have better luck with the dollar store soil..
A very informative, thorough, and “took your time to explain “ video. By showing and not just telling us how to clean the leaves was a “caring touch”. Easy to understand tips and great camera footage.
Great looking plants! I want one of these Rojos to keep my McColley's Finale company. Good tip on buying soil from inside the store instead of outside.
You make it sound like they're super fussy & delicate. They're not! I'm in Florida. I have a huge RC in a pot by my front door. I never bring it inside. I'm on the coast, so temps here never go below 32, but we can get temps in the 40s to 90s. I fertilize once or twice a year, maybe, and water it with left over water from my dog's water bowl. She also gets some rain. The most important care I stay cognizant of is to regularly turn it 45° so it grows evenly. They really aren't fussy or difficult to care for.
Hi Michelle. I agree, Rojo Congo are very easy care plants! Here in VA, the weather is much different than in FL, so depending on where you live and the lighting of your home, the care requirements differ pretty drastically.... not everyone has the habitat and weather as FL. Many northerners struggle with tropical plants in the fall and winter months. Thank you for taking the time and energy out of your busy day to post your thoughts here! I appreciate it!
These things are indestructible after they are established. My ex left one at my house and I didn't water it for about a month... It was just fine in my sunroom. I don't water it often, but I do water it thoroughly. I use the bottom up method.
Thank you so much! Your Rojo Congo got me to buy one today at Lowe's. It has all of those water spots on the leaves, so thanks to you, I know what to do.
Hi! That's great! I wonder if you had a humidifier if it would grow even more prolifically and more often? I always like experimenting with my humidifiers to see how the plants thrive in conditions different than their normal habitat/ environment....I am glad yours is thriving! Thank you for watching my videos!💚😍💚
Love your Rojo Congo’s! Thanks for your video! I didn’t know about adding the dish soap to the Neem oil either!! Thanks you for that tip!! I have one…..got as a starter plant! She might be 5-6 inches tall now? OMGosh!! I can’t wait for mine to start growing up, and maturing!! This will be a lovely adventure!! PTL for that!!! Thanks 😊 you again!!
I just bought a beautiful large specimen from our nursery ( not $12 , but a good price) and it’s part of the first group of my philodendron collection as a new collector. I have my grow lights , now I just have to get a humidifier . Thanks for the great tip using the neem oil ; I’ll be following your advice👍
HI Albert! How is it going with your Rojo? I recently had to cut mine back because of RUST SPOTS they are the devil! I recorded footage on this and will post my journey on this soon. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Thank you for sharing your tips. I've been looking in the internet for like 2 hours to see what plant I inherited and there it is in your video...Rojo Congo. I need to repot it and it's a very massive plant.
Hello!!! Oh that's so cool! Repotting is fairly easy with this guy! They LOVE fresh soil! I used miracle grow potting soil. Nothing fancy. They love it! Thank you for watching my videos... come back soon and often! I post every Monday and Thursday. Check back tomorrow!
Hey Christa! I have admired your plant, since i found your channel...about 6 weeks or so ago. I finally found my Rojo Congo at Home Depot! I'm so excited about it! Thank you, beautiful! I love all your videos. I will be on the hunt for another one. Thanks again, hon💚
Bought mine at Stater Bros super market a week ago for 30.00 it is big hearty healthy and it already has about 6 babies I'm going to repot those 6 babies totally worth the money
Thanks for the care tips! I just picked one up at the Home Depot, so anyone who can't find it a Lowe's should try looking there. I saw a few of them outside on a covered curb stand as I was walking to the car and literally did a 180 back into the store so I could buy one because I couldn't pass up on that price!
That's awesome! They are gorgeous plants! Make sure you treat it when you get home and don't put it in the direct path of a humidifier. For some reason, it super kicks off disease. Many those spot things called some kind of rust fungus. Rojo is notorious for that pressure. Enjoy your new rojo! Thank you for watching my videos!
Your Rojo Congos are amazing, show stopper indeed. I purchased a baby plant last year, it's a slow grower and I hope I can grow it the way you do. Nice video and thanks for sharing.
I just bought one in a 6" pot from a big, expensive greenhouse. I have seen advice to bury the air roots to add stability to a Monstera & my Philodendron Congo Rojo has several air roots. It was not very stable in the nursery pot, so I immediately repotted it into a heavy ceramic pot & buried the ends of the air roots. I think I see air roots on your specimen that are aimed into the soil.
Hi William! Yes my air roots were buried in soil. That makes good sense and sounds about right with regard to stability! You can also put yours on a moss pole for even larger leaves…. A grow light makes the air roots get really long and the leaves very big and lush…fertilize regularly! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. If there’s any plant fun you’d to see, send me a message 💚🪴♥️
Ohhh...ITS Going To Grow Outward More Than Upward!!! I Knew I Should Have Watched Your Video Before I Ordered My Rojo!!! Hmmm...Where You Gonna Go Mr. Rojo???
I Just Received My Rojo Today From ThePlantFarm On Etsy. I've MOSTLY Been Into The Trailing Philodendrons BUT Chose This One To Give An Upright One A Try. I'm Thinking Along The Same Lines As YOU...IF He GROWS For ME...I'm SURE He'll GROW On ME!!!
Oh yes. You'll love him. When his leaves unfurl new ones, you'll be addicted. They are so beautiful and lush! Congrats on your new Rojo! Keep me posted!❤🌿💚
In the few days I've owned my Philodendron Congo Rojo, I've noticed a phenomenon I have not seen on any other of my houseplants: each morning, I find drops of water on its leaves. I also have had a similar Philodendron Imperial Majesty Red but have never found drops of water on its leaves during the 20 months I've owned it.
Hello! I see this often on my plants after a good watering …it’s normal and the plants way of preventing edema. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. If it’s sap like thing it may be a sign of pests. Those sneaky microscopic plant killers can really put a damper on a beautiful leaves. Thank you for watching and commenting🪴🪴
@@plantluxxe The drops are water, but it is rare for me to see them, like morning dew. It won't be difficult to wash dust & no-see-ums off leaves that are large & few.
I learn a lots from this video.I clean the plants with filtered tap water. I worry if use neem oil will block micro-capillary breathing holes in plants leaves.
Thank you for watching my videos. 💚🌱😊🌿 I don't use the horticultural oil on tre rojo , only neem. Had some of those fungus spots long time ago when I purchased the plant, so I have been using it for about 2 years now. Anyway, so far so good. Thanks for supporting my channel🌿😊🌱💚
Your rojo is some of the prettiest I’ve ever seen grown indoors! I have one and it’s one of my fastest growing plants. I had it in a north facing window with a grow light and to my surprise it did very well. Super amazing plant !
What are your ratios again for the Neem Oil, soap and water to wash the leaves? You are just using the Neem oil bottle you showed to mix it in correct?
Hello! I mix a few drops of dish soap, neem extract (I eyeball it about one or two tsp.) and the rest water…I recycle the old container because it’s perfect to keep in hand. I really have great luck with this mix. Sometimes I add a little horticultural oil if the infestation is bad. But not all plants tolerate horticultural oil, so stuck with neem🪴💚 thank you for watching and commenting!
Omg 😍 That plant!!!! I’ve been coveting one for a while now. Had no idea Lowe’s sells them. Running to Lowe’s today to see if I can get one! Thank you! Your babies are gorgeous. New subbie
Amazing Congo Rojo you've got and let them thrive! I've been watching it already third time hahah Do you have any tip for a dormant Congo Rojo? I've got mine like half year ago, which was in pretty bad condition and shape, I cleaned and cut some dying/small leaves but since then, although this guy looks healthy, haven't managed a single leaf yet..
Hello! Oh wow, this could be due to several factors. Lighting is very important. They love warmth and thrive with a semihumid yet warm location in your home (don’t let a humidifier blow on it though, disease happens then.) What fertilizer are you using? Watering routine? I watered mine with warm (not hot) water. Soil? Did you change out the soil or is it still in the soil it came with? They love nutrient dense soil with big chunks of bark that provide aireation. Let me know and keep me posted! I love hearing about other plant lovers plants…mine flowered and it was so interesting looking. 🪴💚thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi Alex! I think the repot video is hanging out somewhere in my video collection. Use a good aroid soil mixture and give your rojo a great view of the sky ❤️🪴 thank you for watching and commenting!
I never thought of cleaning the leaves with Neem oil. I was cleaning my leaves then spraying on Neem oil. Now I can skip a step! I just picked up a Rojo Congo today at a Walmart because we don’t have a Lowe’s or Home Depot nearby. It’s probably a good thing because I had access to all that before moving to a rural tourist town. I can’t imagine spending more on plants.
Neem works like a charm! But for better pest control I have had to resort to stronger pest fighters at times. It’s a full time job in this jungle 🤣Thank you for watching and commenting🪴💕 I appreciate your support!
Awe! I’m sorry to hear that your plant is dying. Send a picture to my email plantluxxe@gmail.com or DM to my IG! 🪴❤️💕🌿 save the Planties! PS: Sorry for my late response…things been crazy in my life🤪 and I went offline for a bit 😩
Great tips I love my congo rojas its doing great but some leaves could look better I will try fertilizer as well as the neem oil which I have heard before but wasn't sure about ...sound good your rogjas look amazing.
Thank you so much🪴💕 the only real struggle so far has been pesky rust spots …you’re supposed to cut off the leaves when that happens 😭 but I simply cannot force myself to do that so I keep treating them with neem oil.
Leaves seem burnt and it just is droopy and I don't know, I loved her when she was flourishing. Is there any chance I can cut all leaves just leaving the stump. We pot and fertilize her and she will grow back!?
Yes you can! I have completely beheaded my pothos before and she grew back even more beautiful than before! Of course, it was hard to look at her stumps for a few months haha 🤣 but she turned out lovely. I made a tiktok about it and chopped her and posted the after result🤣🪴❤️ check back in and let me know how it goes!
hello and thanks you such a good video .I just got a monstera deliciosa and is not in a good shape so i would like to know what type of jacks fertilize should I use I am in Vancouver Canada thanks
I found this similar plant at Lowe's about a month ago, but it's all green with no red whatsoever. Otherwise it looks identical. Is there a green version? Also when I first purchased, the leaves were stretched wide. After a few days at home near a window, it perked up & leaves were more upright. Today I was sad to see it had gone back to it's original wide stretched look. A little droopy looking. It was dry maybe 2 inches down so I gave it water, enough to moisten the soil but not drenched. It's now 15 hours later and leaves have not perked back up. Should I be concerned? Or is this what it's normal state should be?
Hi there! Can you DM me a pic @plantluxxe or email me a pic plantluxxe@gmail.com ? I need to see it to help 💚😍 thanks for watching my videos! Come back very soon!!💚
Hi Ronnie! I haven't had luck with that kind.... so I can't recommend it. I use that brand potting soil and love it though. My rule of thumb is a 1:1:1 or a 2:2:2 with fertilizers. Idk if that helps? I use Jacks. Thanks for watching, come back soon😊❤🌿🌱💚
I purchased my philo congo rojo just last month and it was so beautiful when I brought it home from the nursery. As time went by, the leaves were drooping DRAMATICALLY. I thought it was a light issue so I brought it a spot with good light in front of a window but it ended up scorching many of the leaves!! Huge mistake!! I moved it back to its original spot which is about 4 feet from a door that gets sun but not too much. It has regained its shine in some of the leaves that did not get scorched.. but the leaves have drooped even more.. I don’t know what to do! Please help me save this gorgeous plant! 🙏🏻
Hi! It may be a soil issue...sometimes plants need new soil and then they come back to life. It could be near an AC or heating unit? How often are you watering it? Check out my soil video and try replacing the soil and putting it in a better draining pot and see if that works! Keep me posted!
I have this in my densely canopied , somewhat moist rainforest garden in Sydney. It receives a small amount of morning light. It is fuss free . I give it some worm castings mixed with coir from my worm farms. I hope this helps and you have figured out yours itsyihh
Hi , Is this plant any moss stick or poll stick to grow? I just purchased small green rojo congo. It's just small plant now , but am not sure would it needs any support to grow or not. my plant have aerial roots . plz guide me.
Hello! I have mine on a wooden pole. You can select any type you prefer. Rojo Congo is self heading but I need to use supper for mine because she’s so tall💚🪴 thank you for watching and commenting!
Thank you for watching! For what it's worth, I love Monopoly! Keep up the great work! Park Place and Boardwalk are mine, and thanks! Can I use that rent to buy more plants, please? I need an Albo Monstera and a few other rare varieties! 🤣🤣🤣🌿🌱💚🌱💚🌱
Hi ! Thank you for watching and commenting! 🥰Can you provide more detail about your question? I make my own putting mix but I’ve also had success with general putting mix. Thank you 🪴💚
I have a Congo rojo that the limbs are basically just falling off at the root of the plant I've just been breaking off not sure why it's not over watered it is moist but not over watered it's about 10 ft back from the window and I barely water it once a month at this point due to the moisture still in the pot do you have any recommendations??
Hello Ruth! Hope your Rojo Congo is still alive…. I’ve been offline so I’m now just seeing your question 🪴🌿❤️ my apologize for the wait! My advice is: change the soil…. move the plant to a different location…fertilize with diluted fertilizer to 1/4 strength every time you water. If you find any root rot on the rootball when you swap soil out, you’ll have to cut that part off. Check back in here and let me now how it goes!
Hi Christa! Awesome video! I recently bought a Rojo Congo and it seemed to have been overwatered, but it doing ok despite. This morning I did notice something that seems concerning. In trying to guess what's going on, the best thing I can come up with is that it seems like there might be a new aerial root starting to sprout, but it is ripping the base of a new leaf that is sprouting but has not opened, yet. The split is at the very base, is vertical and currently 1 1/2 inches long, and the center is split open about 1/4 inch. Is this a normal thing when new aerial roots sprout? Is there anything that I should do?
Hello! Is there a way you can DM me pictures of it? I think I need to see it … thank you for reaching out to me, watching, and commenting! DM pix at @plantluxxe on IG if you want me to take a look
i dont even believe this myself. got one locally in a groceryshop for whats about 3.95 today! only in a 11 cm pot. but its putting out new big leaves and are ready to be repotted into something bigger! thanks for the good advises
Hello! I would avoid spraying this plant… it has a tendency towards rust spots and fungal diseases. Putting it in a warm south or west facing window would penalty provide enough humidity. If you don’t have access to a window like that, a nice grow light over the top would be good. Having a humidifier several feet away from the plants leaves would be good. They bend toward the light, so you might want to fasten it to a pole of some kind. Thank you for watching and commenting❤️💚🪴Let me know how it goes! These plants are really cool.
Your Rojo plants are stunning!! How long have you had them - wondering how well they do indoors? I love this plant and just purchased two for the very first time this summer.
Hi Peggy! I have had most of my Rojos for about 2 years...I recently purchased another one though. Addicted 💚😍🤣 They really great indoors!! They lean toward the light (phototropism)... but they are still beautiful even when they do. Thank you for watching my videos, check out my others as well! 💚😍💚
Hello! Your Rojo Congos are beautiful, very healthy and shiny. I recently purchased one that has three bulbs in one same pot would like to propagate it. Could you please give me some tips on how to do it? Which is the safest way?
Ooohhh.... hello! Propagation of Rojo Congo... something I have never tried. But, that would make for a great video. I will try it in an upcoming video! Be on the lookout! Thanks for watching😍💚
I feel like I just watched a plant version of the "Ugly Duckling" and your Lowe's plant has joined the swans. I'm off to look for an ugly duckling today.
Hi, I know you made this video a long time ago, but I want to thank you for such great informative plant how to's. I have really learned from watching your videos. Love that you are so down to earth! Thanks!
Great video just got mine today :) Have you tried using a moss pole or bamboo canes to allow it to reach its full potential? The plant shop I went to told me it will climb.
Hello! I haven't staked my Rojos, but I am probably going to include this in a staking up video because mine is leaning too much and I'd like it to grow up a bit more vertical! Thanks for watching! Come back soon and often😍😍😍💚💚💚
Hi! I have a question :) Thanks for the informative video! I'm about to buy my own philodendron for the new home I just moved in. Saw it for the first time in a store around the corner and just knew I had to have it! You said you buy a bucket of Neem extract, add a drop of soap and fill up the rest with water. I guess the neemoil/water ratio is explained on the packaging right? What's the soap for and doesn't it damage the plant? Thanks!!
Hello! Yes, I follow the package directions🤣🪴♥️ a dab of soap, water, neem extract. If I’m really proactive I dunk the plants in the mixture to make sure I kill all the bugs I cannot see with my 👀 eyes thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi thank you for such an informative video, my plant is a little smaller than the smaller plant you have and the weight of the plant is causing it to lean where it almost falls from the the weight. Is this a climbing plant, any tips? Maybe I need to cut it down to less leaves?
I’m new to your channel and new to plants.. I’ve maybe have 25 since winter time from Ohio. I don’t have humidifiers, I have plants all over the house how many humidifier do I need or can you get one and more from room to room?? Love your channel I think you have the biggest and most beautiful plants I’ve seen by far... thanks 🤩
Start with one... my favorite is one that is easy. Top loading. Makes plant humidity care fun. It’s what I use in my home... Going to sell it on my website that’s launching very soon
Hello, I was wondering if Jacks 5-12-26 or 15-0-0 would also work I have these? Could I use them on the Rojo Congo, Prince of Orange and Moonlight? Thank You Kat, I'm under my hubby's uttube
Hello! I use 20-20-20. . . I find that the plants love the balance of nutrients...I am unsure of the effectiveness of the other ones. Thank you for watching my videos.
Thanks for the tips. I got mine from Mitre 10. If you don't have reem.oil to mix with the water you spray on the leaves,can you use canola oil instead? Is the oil part to make the leaves shine?
Hello! Thank you so much for commenting and watching 🪴♥️ I neem oil regularly as a preventative but haven’t tried the other options you mention. The plants seem to love it!
😊thank you Christa,this video was very helpful, your leaves looks sooo good,a great different to the new plant,i need this neem oil 👏,do you turn around your great philodendron to the light or not,have a nice week,iam happy for the next video.by netti from germany Coburg 😘
Hi Netti, from Germany!!! Wow! I LOVE the international reach of this plant community! Thank you for watching my videos! I turn my rojos, yes.... but I don't turn one of them because I like it one sided. Thank you for watching... check back soon. My next video is plants that I have accidentally killed. 🤣🤣🤣
Hello! You’re Rojo Congos look beautiful! I have one and it is finally growing a fair few new leaves. However, some of the older leaves had some kind of infestation and are now only half leaves and have brown dry spots. I am wondering how I can cut these leaves off /how to remove the holder leaves that don’t look as nice? Can you advise? Thank you!
Hi Erica! You can clip those leaves off at the base of the stem. Before you know it, you'll have adventitious growth! Thank you for watching my videos🌱🌿💚🙏😊
Beautiful video. I have one and was excited for the first leaf to unfurl since buying it. It was taking a while then one day it turned brown, I'm tempted to remove it. Do you have any advice? Much appreciated 🙂
Do you use 20-20-20 fertilizer in all your plants ? I also noticed, I HAVE NOT SEEN A FIDDLE FIG LEAF in your collections yet. Do you have one? Just curious. That plant seems to be everyone’s a must have plant. Love all your videos! I watch your videos right before I go to bed.
Hello! Yes I use Jack's 20-20-20, diluted, every time I water. Its easy, I just follow the directions on the label. 🤣🤣💚🌿🌱 I have 2 gigantic FLF trees. They are monsters. I should do another video on them. . . Did you gage any questions you'd like me to cover about them? Let me know! Thank you so much for watching my videos🌿💚🌱😘
@@plantluxxe I’m a little skeptical probably intimidated of the FLF tree. I have been wanting to get one. I will look for your video about it. Maybe you can have another one. I’m soooooo ecstatic to see them. Thank you so much !!
It sounds like it has pests. Have you checked for spider mites? It might also be lighting. Where do you have it? It could be temperature as well. Is it cold where you are? It could be so many different things. Send me more info and I can help you figure it out💚🌿
Hi Sharon🪴❤️ they are different cultivars of plants. Black Cardinal has rounder, larger leaves & darker foliage than Rojo Congo….rojo congo has more red in it and is considered to be a red cultivar. Black cardinal has more of a purple hue. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching and commenting!🪴🌿❤️
Hello ! I got this almost 3 months ago and it was fine... I kept it next to a window where we get indirect light. Now the leaves are turning brown already.. I did water it carefully so it does get waterlogged... Pls help.. what should/can I do . I do have a new leaf coming🤞I wish I could send u a pic . Thank you .
Hi Shaziya! Thank you for commenting and watching… you can send photos to my email it’s V listed in the description. I can take a look and see what I can do to help!🪴💕 thanks again for commenting and watching. 🌿🌱❤️
What? Don't be a quitter, Haha.. there's always room 🤣🤣🤣💚🌿💚💚💚 upcoming video is going to be condensing using plant stand systems. I like to support our planty collecting. Lol🤣💚
Thanks for the information. I have one and I have these red spots all over the leaves. Does yours do that? Some say it is from over fertilization. I don't fertilize, and it still has them.
Thank you for watching!! Yea on a few of mine I have spots... they came with spots.... some didn't though... and no new spots...I keep treating regularly w/ Neem oil. I can keep you posted
Those spots are heinous. Yes, a few of mine came with them. They are fungus, I believe.... keep treating with neem oil... lewy me know how it goes! Thank you for watching😍🌿🌱💚
Loved your video on this BEAUTIFUL plant! I purchased mine from Home Depot the minute I saw it! It was like LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! LOL Great tip about the Neem Oil, I will definitely go out and get some! Keep the video coming and stay BLESSED!!
Hi ma’am I love your Chanel. You’re amazing 🤩, beautiful. Love your plants . I want to buy your Neem oil the one your using for your plant. I want to buy exactly your one. Because I bought a one I am not happy 😃
The Neem oil I usually use isn’t available anymore. So I don’t know what I will do……I will post my new brand once I find one I like. Right now, though, I haven’t
I found it! ... talking about this video. 🙃 I purchased this beauty last month and four leaves dropped within a month. One of the leaves was slowly unfurling and then BAM! It fell off. 😢 Another leaf is slowly unfurling which gives me hope. I still have a bunch of leaves left and the plant is growing; including aerial roots. The question is, why has this happened? I don't think it needs to be repotted.
Great videos....I literally just found you on youtube today and I wanted to ask you if you have ever considered building a vertical plant wall to house the majority of your plants? I say the majority and not all of your plants as I can imagine some of your larger varieties you would prefer to keep in a pot. I myself just built a vertical plant wall recently and Im amazed how many plants you can fit into a small space when they are displayed vertically. Watering them is also no longer a chore as you can have an automatic irrigation system that is installed at the top of the wall. Sorry about being long winded on the subject, not trying to sell you anything, just letting you know in case you never looked into it. Take care, Michael
Hi Michael! YES I WANT ONE! Haha that is an Excellent idea. Irrigation system? OMG YES PLEASE!🤣🙏😊🌱💚🌿 I am definitely going to do this. I can post a video of it too. I have the tools, I am good with a nail gun and saw... not familiar with irrigation but maybe there is info online? Would have to build in grow lights, wouldn't I? I love this idea. Thank you for watching my videos. I am so glad you found me! 🙏😊🌱💚🌿
Also, I wanted to mention that I knew a Michael Lee while I was growing up...we played lead roles in "45 minutes From Broadway"... any chance you're him? Haha🤣 it was in Salamanca, NY! Loooongg time ago! Anyway, your name reminded me of his, since you have the same name!
Hello! There’s not much you can do…. You’ll have to wait for another one💚🪴 it happens. More will grow there it just take a little time💚💚 thank you for watching and commenting!
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you I can definitely show you pictures of the vertical wall that I built as well as some possible video just let me know if you’re still interested and I’ll try to work up something and how would I get that to you...possibly on Instagram or something?

That’s really awesome and I am very happy to hear that!! Congrats on your new 🌱 🌿❤️🪴 thank you for watching my videos 🌿
The best rojo Congo I have ever seen from online
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for the video, I just bought on from my local Farmers Market for $15.99 this plant is so beautiful.
Thank you so much for watching my videos!
Just found a huuuuge philodendron Rojo Congo at my local Pike’s Nursery today! When I tell you I screamed and then nearly cried 🤣 because it’s so beautiful. I had seen the green version in the nursery but never the rojo Congo. If anyone is looking for one in atlanta, head to Pike’s nursery in Toco Hills
How much?
WRO $40. They’re back in stock this week but not as large as the one I purchased
@@babyjells cool
Just bought my first one today! It is stunning. My 8-yo-old said she wanted one of her own for Xmas!
I love that ❤️ that’s 🤩 awesome
I ❤ what you said about buying miracle grow potting soil inside the store rather than a bag sitting outside the store...I bought a big bag that was sitting outside and wound up with a fungus gnats infestation
After using it for probably 3 or 4 plants, I saw a little bugger flying around inside the new bag of soil...fast forward a month, still battling the gnats with a peroxide/neem oil solution and allowing the plants to dry out between waterings
I'll take your advice and stick to buying soil inside
Oh wow! Get Mosquito Bits. Thet will kill those suckers pronto! I think I gave a link in the description. You'll love those...bye, bye fungus gnats! Thanks for watching my videos💚😍💚😍
@@plantluxxe just got em from Amazon
Watch out if you have pets, mosquito bits are toxic
No more Miracle Gro for me. Last 2 bags were infested with gnats. I just emailed them to complain. Bought them on Amazon too. Disappointed in Miracle Gro😢😮..I have better luck with the dollar store soil..
Your Congo’s are beautiful. I Just bought one today! It’s medium size. Loving it. Thanks for sharing some tips.
Thank you for watching my videos! I hope you’re enjoying your new plant!
@@plantluxxe thank you!!
A very informative, thorough, and “took your time to explain “ video. By showing and not just telling us how to clean the leaves was a “caring touch”. Easy to understand tips and great camera footage.
Great looking plants! I want one of these Rojos to keep my McColley's Finale company. Good tip on buying soil from inside the store instead of outside.
You make it sound like they're super fussy & delicate. They're not! I'm in Florida. I have a huge RC in a pot by my front door. I never bring it inside. I'm on the coast, so temps here never go below 32, but we can get temps in the 40s to 90s. I fertilize once or twice a year, maybe, and water it with left over water from my dog's water bowl. She also gets some rain. The most important care I stay cognizant of is to regularly turn it 45° so it grows evenly. They really aren't fussy or difficult to care for.
Hi Michelle. I agree, Rojo Congo are very easy care plants! Here in VA, the weather is much different than in FL, so depending on where you live and the lighting of your home, the care requirements differ pretty drastically.... not everyone has the habitat and weather as FL. Many northerners struggle with tropical plants in the fall and winter months. Thank you for taking the time and energy out of your busy day to post your thoughts here! I appreciate it!
These things are indestructible after they are established. My ex left one at my house and I didn't water it for about a month... It was just fine in my sunroom. I don't water it often, but I do water it thoroughly. I use the bottom up method.
Thank you so much! Your Rojo Congo got me to buy one today at Lowe's. It has all of those water spots on the leaves, so thanks to you, I know what to do.
Awe, thank you so much for watching and coming and for watching my videos! ❤️🪴💚
I don't use a humidifier and my congo is doing great here in Ontario Canada. Constantly getting new leaves🙂
Hi! That's great! I wonder if you had a humidifier if it would grow even more prolifically and more often? I always like experimenting with my humidifiers to see how the plants thrive in conditions different than their normal habitat/ environment....I am glad yours is thriving! Thank you for watching my videos!💚😍💚
Love your Rojo Congo’s!
Thanks for your video! I didn’t know about adding the dish soap to the Neem oil either!! Thanks you for that tip!!
I have one…..got as a starter plant! She might be 5-6 inches tall now? OMGosh!! I can’t wait for mine to start growing up, and maturing!! This will be a lovely adventure!! PTL for that!!!
Thanks 😊 you again!!
Hello Debra! Thank you for watching and commenting. Rojo congos are so gorgeous❤️💚🪴 enjoy yours! They are amazing plants 💚
Oh I am so excited! I just got a Rojo Congo for my birthday! This is my first!
Thank you for watching and commenting🪴💕 I appreciate your support!
I just bought a beautiful large specimen from our nursery ( not $12 , but a good price) and it’s part of the first group of my philodendron collection as a new collector. I have my grow lights , now I just have to get a humidifier . Thanks for the great tip using the neem oil ; I’ll be following your advice👍
HI Albert! How is it going with your Rojo? I recently had to cut mine back because of RUST SPOTS they are the devil! I recorded footage on this and will post my journey on this soon. Thanks for commenting and watching!
Well done on your fantastic video and excellent discounted shopping trip. What a find!
Thanks so much! We LOVE great finds! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you for sharing your tips. I've been looking in the internet for like 2 hours to see what plant I inherited and there it is in your video...Rojo Congo. I need to repot it and it's a very massive plant.
Hello!!! Oh that's so cool! Repotting is fairly easy with this guy! They LOVE fresh soil! I used miracle grow potting soil. Nothing fancy. They love it! Thank you for watching my videos... come back soon and often! I post every Monday and Thursday. Check back tomorrow!
Hey Christa! I have admired your plant, since i found your channel...about 6 weeks or so ago. I finally found my Rojo Congo at Home Depot! I'm so excited about it! Thank you, beautiful! I love all your videos. I will be on the hunt for another one. Thanks again, hon💚
Ooh how much was it at HD?
Bought mine at Stater Bros super market a week ago for 30.00 it is big hearty healthy and it already has about 6 babies I'm going to repot those 6 babies totally worth the money
Hello! That sounds like an awesome investment 🪴💚 let me know how out all goes after putting them into pots ❤️🪴💚 thank you for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the care tips! I just picked one up at the Home Depot, so anyone who can't find it a Lowe's should try looking there. I saw a few of them outside on a covered curb stand as I was walking to the car and literally did a 180 back into the store so I could buy one because I couldn't pass up on that price!
That's awesome! They are gorgeous plants! Make sure you treat it when you get home and don't put it in the direct path of a humidifier. For some reason, it super kicks off disease. Many those spot things called some kind of rust fungus. Rojo is notorious for that pressure. Enjoy your new rojo! Thank you for watching my videos!
Your Rojo Congos are amazing, show stopper indeed. I purchased a baby plant last year, it's a slow grower and I hope I can grow it the way you do. Nice video and thanks for sharing.
Awe, thank you so much🌿😍💚🌱
Awe, thanks! And, thank you for watching!😍🌱🌿💚
Hi. Such gorgeous plants. What kind of potting mix do you use
Honestly, I use miracle grow potting mix, nothing fancy. Thanks for watching!!💚😍
I just bought one in a 6" pot from a big, expensive greenhouse. I have seen advice to bury the air roots to add stability to a Monstera & my Philodendron Congo Rojo has several air roots. It was not very stable in the nursery pot, so I immediately repotted it into a heavy ceramic pot & buried the ends of the air roots. I think I see air roots on your specimen that are aimed into the soil.
Hi William! Yes my air roots were buried in soil. That makes good sense and sounds about right with regard to stability! You can also put yours on a moss pole for even larger leaves…. A grow light makes the air roots get really long and the leaves very big and lush…fertilize regularly! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. If there’s any plant fun you’d to see, send me a message 💚🪴♥️
Ohhh...ITS Going To Grow Outward More Than Upward!!! I Knew I Should Have Watched Your Video Before I Ordered My Rojo!!! Hmmm...Where You Gonna Go Mr. Rojo???
Hi! Thank you for watching! 💚🌿🌱 Rojo is going to keep kicking out growth and get wide but not necessarially tall..... he's gonna give you much joy!
I Just Received My Rojo Today From ThePlantFarm On Etsy. I've MOSTLY Been Into The Trailing Philodendrons BUT Chose This One To Give An Upright One A Try. I'm Thinking Along The Same Lines As YOU...IF He GROWS For ME...I'm SURE He'll GROW On ME!!!
Oh yes. You'll love him. When his leaves unfurl new ones, you'll be addicted. They are so beautiful and lush! Congrats on your new Rojo! Keep me posted!❤🌿💚
In the few days I've owned my Philodendron Congo Rojo, I've noticed a phenomenon I have not seen on any other of my houseplants: each morning, I find drops of water on its leaves. I also have had a similar Philodendron Imperial Majesty Red but have never found drops of water on its leaves during the 20 months I've owned it.
Hello! I see this often on my plants after a good watering …it’s normal and the plants way of preventing edema. I wouldn’t worry too much about it. If it’s sap like thing it may be a sign of pests. Those sneaky microscopic plant killers can really put a damper on a beautiful leaves. Thank you for watching and commenting🪴🪴
@@plantluxxe The drops are water, but it is rare for me to see them, like morning dew. It won't be difficult to wash dust & no-see-ums off leaves that are large & few.
Hello 👋🏾 nice video can I mist it don’t have a humidifier .? 🤔
I learn a lots from this video.I clean the plants with filtered tap water. I worry if use neem oil will block micro-capillary breathing holes in plants leaves.
Thank you for watching my videos. 💚🌱😊🌿 I don't use the horticultural oil on tre rojo , only neem. Had some of those fungus spots long time ago when I purchased the plant, so I have been using it for about 2 years now. Anyway, so far so good. Thanks for supporting my channel🌿😊🌱💚
Your rojo is some of the prettiest I’ve ever seen grown indoors! I have one and it’s one of my fastest growing plants. I had it in a north facing window with a grow light and to my surprise it did very well. Super amazing plant !
Thank you very much for your kind words! 💚😍💚 thank you for watching!
What are your ratios again for the Neem Oil, soap and water to wash the leaves? You are just using the Neem oil bottle you showed to mix it in correct?
Hello! I mix a few drops of dish soap, neem extract (I eyeball it about one or two tsp.) and the rest water…I recycle the old container because it’s perfect to keep in hand. I really have great luck with this mix. Sometimes I add a little horticultural oil if the infestation is bad. But not all plants tolerate horticultural oil, so stuck with neem🪴💚 thank you for watching and commenting!
Man that plant is huge so beautiful be blessed keep growing
Thank you!!💚😍
Hi Velvet... haven’t seen ya here in awhile.... hope you are doing well!
@@plantluxxe yes I am doing well thank you for asking reaching out to me so sweet
Omg 😍 That plant!!!! I’ve been coveting one for a while now. Had no idea Lowe’s sells them. Running to Lowe’s today to see if I can get one! Thank you! Your babies are gorgeous. New subbie
@babyjells I found one at Pikes as well marked down to $10. I wasn't even looking for one but I grabbed that plant so fast😂
Amazing Congo Rojo you've got and let them thrive! I've been watching it already third time hahah Do you have any tip for a dormant Congo Rojo? I've got mine like half year ago, which was in pretty bad condition and shape, I cleaned and cut some dying/small leaves but since then, although this guy looks healthy, haven't managed a single leaf yet..
Hello! Oh wow, this could be due to several factors. Lighting is very important. They love warmth and thrive with a semihumid yet warm location in your home (don’t let a humidifier blow on it though, disease happens then.) What fertilizer are you using?
Watering routine? I watered mine with warm (not hot) water. Soil? Did you change out the soil or is it still in the soil it came with? They love nutrient dense soil with big chunks of bark that provide aireation. Let me know and keep me posted! I love hearing about other plant lovers plants…mine flowered and it was so interesting looking. 🪴💚thank you for watching and commenting!
Great video! I'm about to buy one and hope if I rotate it that it'll grow tall. Did you make the repotting video?
Hi Alex! I think the repot video is hanging out somewhere in my video collection. Use a good aroid soil mixture and give your rojo a great view of the sky ❤️🪴 thank you for watching and commenting!
I never thought of cleaning the leaves with Neem oil. I was cleaning my leaves then spraying on Neem oil. Now I can skip a step! I just picked up a Rojo Congo today at a Walmart because we don’t have a Lowe’s or Home Depot nearby. It’s probably a good thing because I had access to all that before moving to a rural tourist town. I can’t imagine spending more on plants.
Neem works like a charm! But for better pest control I have had to resort to stronger pest fighters at times. It’s a full time job in this jungle 🤣Thank you for watching and commenting🪴💕 I appreciate your support!
Such a wonderful video. It taught me so much ❤ awesome presentation
Thank you so much 😀
My plant is dying:( she was doing so well. I don't know what to do:( maybe a repot? This was helpful but hoping if I sent a picture you could help.
Awe! I’m sorry to hear that your plant is dying. Send a picture to my email plantluxxe@gmail.com or DM to my IG! 🪴❤️💕🌿 save the Planties! PS: Sorry for my late response…things been crazy in my life🤪 and I went offline for a bit 😩
Great tips I love my congo rojas its doing great but some leaves could look better I will try fertilizer as well as the neem oil which I have heard before but wasn't sure about ...sound good your rogjas look amazing.
Thank you so much🪴💕 the only real struggle so far has been pesky rust spots …you’re supposed to cut off the leaves when that happens 😭 but I simply cannot force myself to do that so I keep treating them with neem oil.
So question 2 of my leaves crack will broke am I able to cut all the way to the stem... will the whole stem and grow back
That’s a personal decision. I cannot say
Cuz cutting back it is soooooo painful to you and the plant!
Had to come back and watch again.. because I got mine today!! I want it as big and beautiful as yours....
A good tip from me , get one of thise window blind cleaners, spray the neem oil on and clean your leaves up and down
Leaves seem burnt and it just is droopy and I don't know, I loved her when she was flourishing. Is there any chance I can cut all leaves just leaving the stump. We pot and fertilize her and she will grow back!?
Yes you can! I have completely beheaded my pothos before and she grew back even more beautiful than before! Of course, it was hard to look at her stumps for a few months haha 🤣 but she turned out lovely. I made a tiktok about it and chopped her and posted the after result🤣🪴❤️ check back in and let me know how it goes!
hello and thanks you such a good video .I just got a monstera deliciosa and is not in a good shape so i would like to know what type of jacks fertilize should I use I am in Vancouver Canada thanks
Hello , thank you for watching and subbing... 202020 jacks! I have a monstera guide here on TH-cam as well, check that out if ya want 🥰🪴♥️
I found this similar plant at Lowe's about a month ago, but it's all green with no red whatsoever. Otherwise it looks identical. Is there a green version? Also when I first purchased, the leaves were stretched wide. After a few days at home near a window, it perked up & leaves were more upright. Today I was sad to see it had gone back to it's original wide stretched look. A little droopy looking. It was dry maybe 2 inches down so I gave it water, enough to moisten the soil but not drenched. It's now 15 hours later and leaves have not perked back up. Should I be concerned? Or is this what it's normal state should be?
Hi there! Can you DM me a pic @plantluxxe or email me a pic plantluxxe@gmail.com ? I need to see it to help 💚😍 thanks for watching my videos! Come back very soon!!💚
Hello Avon, There is Philodendron Green Princess. It looks just like the Rojo without the red colour.
Would miracle grow plant food be an okay product to use?
Hi Ronnie!
I haven't had luck with that kind.... so I can't recommend it. I use that brand potting soil and love it though. My rule of thumb is a 1:1:1 or a 2:2:2 with fertilizers. Idk if that helps? I use Jacks. Thanks for watching, come back soon😊❤🌿🌱💚
Where do you purchase neem extract from
I get my neem oil from Lowes.
I purchased my philo congo rojo just last month and it was so beautiful when I brought it home from the nursery. As time went by, the leaves were drooping DRAMATICALLY. I thought it was a light issue so I brought it a spot with good light in front of a window but it ended up scorching many of the leaves!! Huge mistake!! I moved it back to its original spot which is about 4 feet from a door that gets sun but not too much. It has regained its shine in some of the leaves that did not get scorched.. but the leaves have drooped even more.. I don’t know what to do! Please help me save this gorgeous plant! 🙏🏻
Hi! It may be a soil issue...sometimes plants need new soil and then they come back to life. It could be near an AC or heating unit? How often are you watering it? Check out my soil video and try replacing the soil and putting it in a better draining pot and see if that works! Keep me posted!
I have this in my densely canopied , somewhat moist rainforest garden in Sydney. It receives a small amount of morning light. It is fuss free . I give it some worm castings mixed with coir from my worm farms. I hope this helps and you have figured out yours itsyihh
Hi , Is this plant any moss stick or poll stick to grow? I just purchased small green rojo congo. It's just small plant now , but am not sure would it needs any support to grow or not. my plant have aerial roots . plz guide me.
Hello! I have mine on a wooden pole. You can select any type you prefer. Rojo Congo is self heading but I need to use supper for mine because she’s so tall💚🪴 thank you for watching and commenting!
Awesome plant. I recently purchased one locally. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! Thank you for watching my videos!! Let me know how it goes!
what kind of oil that u’ve used to spray the oil. thx u
Neem oil!💚
What a nice plant! You have such beautiful plants. I am not very good with plants but I am trying.
One of my plants apparently had a frog and the frogs reproduced and I was chasing frogs through my house. At one point I had more frogs than plants.
I still have a frog problem. Do you have any suggestions on how to not pick a plant with frogs?
My dog how has a phobia because of all the frogs that were roaming and hoping around my house.
Is Whiskey afraid of Frogs?
Thank you for watching! For what it's worth, I love Monopoly! Keep up the great work! Park Place and Boardwalk are mine, and thanks! Can I use that rent to buy more plants, please? I need an Albo Monstera and a few other rare varieties! 🤣🤣🤣🌿🌱💚🌱💚🌱
Hi when do you add in the potting mix
Hi ! Thank you for watching and commenting! 🥰Can you provide more detail about your question? I make my own putting mix but I’ve also had success with general putting mix. Thank you 🪴💚
Gorgeous plants , Great information !
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Very informative 😊
Thank you so much ❤️🪴
I have a Congo rojo that the limbs are basically just falling off at the root of the plant I've just been breaking off not sure why it's not over watered it is moist but not over watered it's about 10 ft back from the window and I barely water it once a month at this point due to the moisture still in the pot do you have any recommendations??
Hello Ruth!
Hope your Rojo Congo is still alive…. I’ve been offline so I’m now just seeing your question 🪴🌿❤️ my apologize for the wait!
My advice is: change the soil…. move the plant to a different location…fertilize with diluted fertilizer to 1/4 strength every time you water.
If you find any root rot on the rootball when you swap soil out, you’ll have to cut that part off.
Check back in here and let me now how it goes!
Beautiful plant. Stunning.
Hi Christa! Awesome video! I recently bought a Rojo Congo and it seemed to have been overwatered, but it doing ok despite. This morning I did notice something that seems concerning. In trying to guess what's going on, the best thing I can come up with is that it seems like there might be a new aerial root starting to sprout, but it is ripping the base of a new leaf that is sprouting but has not opened, yet. The split is at the very base, is vertical and currently 1 1/2 inches long, and the center is split open about 1/4 inch. Is this a normal thing when new aerial roots sprout? Is there anything that I should do?
Hello! Is there a way you can DM me pictures of it? I think I need to see it … thank you for reaching out to me, watching, and commenting! DM pix at @plantluxxe on IG if you want me to take a look
Good Morning. I would like to know why I have red spots on one of my Rojo Congo. Thank you.

@@plantluxxe what are rust spots.
I live in northern Ireland where outside humidity is always 90+% inside the house around 70%
i dont even believe this myself. got one locally in a groceryshop for whats about 3.95 today! only in a 11 cm pot. but its putting out new big leaves and are ready to be repotted into something bigger! thanks for the good advises
Amazing! Keep me posted and thanks for watching my videos!
@@plantluxxe i will for sure. im so happy to have this one in my little collection!
I use honey as a fertilizer and use a mixture of peat orchid bark and potting soil
Mine thrive in this
Wonderful 💚🪴and thank you for watching and commenting! Love that method too💚🪴
What if u don’t have a humidifier? Should I spray it with mist?
Hello! I would avoid spraying this plant… it has a tendency towards rust spots and fungal diseases. Putting it in a warm south or west facing window would penalty provide enough humidity. If you don’t have access to a window like that, a nice grow light over the top would be good. Having a humidifier several feet away from the plants leaves would be good. They bend toward the light, so you might want to fasten it to a pole of some kind. Thank you for watching and commenting❤️💚🪴Let me know how it goes! These plants are really cool.
What size pot do you have the rojo in? I just got one and trying to figure out what size I need
Hello! I had my Rojo in an 18 inch pot. It was a big one haha 😂 go up one or two pot sizes larger and you should be good! Let me know how it goes 🌿❤️🪴
Thank up for watching and commenting 🪴❤️🌿
Your Rojo plants are stunning!! How long have you had them - wondering how well they do indoors? I love this plant and just purchased two for the very first time this summer.
Hi Peggy! I have had most of my Rojos for about 2 years...I recently purchased another one though. Addicted 💚😍🤣
They really great indoors!! They lean toward the light (phototropism)... but they are still beautiful even when they do.
Thank you for watching my videos, check out my others as well! 💚😍💚
Hello! Your Rojo Congos are beautiful, very healthy and shiny. I recently purchased one that has three bulbs in one same pot would like to propagate it. Could you please give me some tips on how to do it? Which is the safest way?
Ooohhh.... hello! Propagation of Rojo Congo... something I have never tried. But, that would make for a great video. I will try it in an upcoming video! Be on the lookout! Thanks for watching😍💚
plantluxxe Will do! I am also going to try it this weekend, did some research online and it seems pretty simple, hope I don’t kill it!
I feel like I just watched a plant version of the "Ugly Duckling" and your Lowe's plant has joined the swans. I'm off to look for an ugly duckling today.

Great video just got mine today :) Have you tried using a moss pole or bamboo canes to allow it to reach its full potential? The plant shop I went to told me it will climb.
Hello! I haven't staked my Rojos, but I am probably going to include this in a staking up video because mine is leaning too much and I'd like it to grow up a bit more vertical! Thanks for watching! Come back soon and often😍😍😍💚💚💚

Hi!
I have a question :)
Thanks for the informative video!
I'm about to buy my own philodendron for the new home I just moved in. Saw it for the first time in a store around the corner and just knew I had to have it!
You said you buy a bucket of Neem extract, add a drop of soap and fill up the rest with water. I guess the neemoil/water ratio is explained on the packaging right? What's the soap for and doesn't it damage the plant?
Thanks!!
Hello! Yes, I follow the package directions🤣🪴♥️ a dab of soap, water, neem extract. If I’m really proactive I dunk the plants in the mixture to make sure I kill all the bugs I cannot see with my 👀 eyes thank you for watching and commenting!
Hi thank you for such an informative video, my plant is a little smaller than the smaller plant you have and the weight of the plant is causing it to lean where it almost falls from the the weight. Is this a climbing plant, any tips? Maybe I need to cut it down to less leaves?
Hi Amy, stake it up to provide more support. Keep me posted💕Thank you for watching and commenting🪴💕 I appreciate your support!

Whats the difference between the Rojo and the black cardinal?
Hi Sharon🪴❤️ they are different cultivars of plants. Black Cardinal has rounder, larger leaves & darker foliage than Rojo Congo….rojo congo has more red in it and is considered to be a red cultivar. Black cardinal has more of a purple hue. Hope this helps! Thank you for watching and commenting!🪴🌿❤️

Those spots are heinous. Yes, a few of mine came with them. They are fungus, I believe.... keep treating with neem oil... lewy me know how it goes! Thank you for watching😍🌿🌱💚
Okay, thanks
Loved your video on this BEAUTIFUL plant! I purchased mine from Home Depot the minute I saw it! It was like LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! LOL Great tip about the Neem Oil, I will definitely go out and get some! Keep the video coming and stay BLESSED!!
Awe, thanks for your kind words and for watching my videos! I really appreciate it!
Can you please tell me the formula for your spray? I just bought one today. Really enjoyed the video. Thank you very much!
Hello! My spray is neem oil extract plus water plus a bit of soap! Thank you so much for watching and commenting🪴💕
How fast it grows? I'm about to buy tiny one and I just wanna know.
I grows about 10 new leaves a year! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. Do you use neem oil as well to clean all your other plants like fiddle leaf fig?
Hi Debbie! Yes, I do use neem oil as a preventative for my FLF as well...all my plants! Thank you for watching!🌿💚😍🌱
Yes! All plants! Thank you for watching💚🌿😍🌱
Hi ma’am I love your Chanel. You’re amazing 🤩, beautiful. Love your plants . I want to buy your Neem oil the one your using for your plant. I want to buy exactly your one. Because I bought a one I am not happy 😃
The Neem oil I usually use isn’t available anymore. So I don’t know what I will do……I will post my new brand once I find one I like. Right now, though, I haven’t
@@plantluxxe thank you so much ma’am I appreciate it
I found it! ... talking about this video. 🙃 I purchased this beauty last month and four leaves dropped within a month. One of the leaves was slowly unfurling and then BAM! It fell off. 😢 Another leaf is slowly unfurling which gives me hope. I still have a bunch of leaves left and the plant is growing; including aerial roots.
The question is, why has this happened? I don't think it needs to be repotted.
Transition shock and lighting adjustments. . . Could be watering as well. Can you send me more details?
Great videos....I literally just found you on youtube today and I wanted to ask you if you have ever considered building a vertical plant wall to house the majority of your plants? I say the majority and not all of your plants as I can imagine some of your larger varieties you would prefer to keep in a pot. I myself just built a vertical plant wall recently and Im amazed how many plants you can fit into a small space when they are displayed vertically. Watering them is also no longer a chore as you can have an automatic irrigation system that is installed at the top of the wall. Sorry about being long winded on the subject, not trying to sell you anything, just letting you know in case you never looked into it.
Take care, Michael
Hi Michael! YES I WANT ONE! Haha that is an Excellent idea. Irrigation system? OMG YES PLEASE!🤣🙏😊🌱💚🌿 I am definitely going to do this. I can post a video of it too. I have the tools, I am good with a nail gun and saw... not familiar with irrigation but maybe there is info online? Would have to build in grow lights, wouldn't I? I love this idea. Thank you for watching my videos. I am so glad you found me! 🙏😊🌱💚🌿
Also, I wanted to mention that I knew a Michael Lee while I was growing up...we played lead roles in "45 minutes From Broadway"... any chance you're him? Haha🤣 it was in Salamanca, NY! Loooongg time ago! Anyway, your name reminded me of his, since you have the same name!
Can u share more about ur vertical wall? Construction? Details on irrigation system?
Hey Michael, would you be interested in doing a collab where you come on my show, virtually, and discuss your plant wall?
Hi, what neeim oil brand is that you're using?
I got it at Lowes....Neem oil brand is Garden Safe! Thank you for watching my videos!
My new leaf broke off before it unfurled. What do I do?
Hello! There’s not much you can do…. You’ll have to wait for another one💚🪴 it happens. More will grow there it just take a little time💚💚 thank you for watching and commenting!
Aloha! Subscribed! Great vid!
Thank you for watching!! I really appreciate your support!💚🌿🌱
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you I can definitely show you pictures of the vertical wall that I built as well as some possible video just let me know if you’re still interested and I’ll try to work up something and how would I get that to you...possibly on Instagram or something?
Nice plants thanks!!!!
Thank you so much ♥️🪴
My Rojo Congo started getting these yellow/brownish spots. Any idea of what it could be?
Hi Ruth! Can you email me a pic?
