I just did. Wow! Unfortunately I cannot afford your Channel, or any Channels. "Thank you again" Your knowledge knows no bounds.🌱🪴👩🦽😷🕊
@@johannahf.4852 Thank you very much!
Caliphea.... Is that the same as the Prayer Plant? 5.50
I always watch your videos and find them very useful. One thing I don't agree with is leaving plants in their pots for 12months before looking at them. I have brought many plants from retail outlets and found that they have been potted in the wrong compost. Just an observation.
No harm in checking but if all is good then leave alone. Some folks are in the habit of repotting regardless!
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes you are right. I put an umbrella tree cutting in water in August, still hasn't taken. Leaves are still on and it's still green. Will it eventually root?
@@kevinwilkes5969 it should do eventually but it probably needs more light...
And sometimes you find the plant was grown in a mesh "pot" and that mesh is still there keeping the roots from spreading out properly.
Put some scratch from only branded Asparine ®, in the water, Asparine has the ingredient,
Salicylzuur {rooting hormone nataral not chemical. This is a betahydroxuzuur (BHA) stimulate the new celrootinggrowth from the roots and cells into the plant..
Refresh every day for 2 weeks the water, 50/50 tap, rainwater, and no light to the roots, only black dark area, the come from a dark area, and roots don't like light, otherwise why do they grow in the soil, because it's dark.. No light at the roots.. I hope this is helpfully to you.. Greetings from the Netherlands.. 😉🇳🇱
Great tip: When propagating in water, add a pothos cutting in the same water. Your original cutting will grow roots twice as fast. Try it!
Will do thanks 👍
I have become more comfortable with dealing with my plants thanks to you..much appreciated
Thanks so much Kim!
Love the way you cut them roots! Plants are much more resilient than people think, when given the right conditions to grow. I live in a very dark one window apartment, in rainy Oregon. I have to supplement with lots and lots of pendant grow lights😎! This lets me propagate year-round!
Absolutely you can prune the roots 👍😁
i live in seattle & grow lights are necessary
One thing I've discovered is that any "tricky" diva plant I have (yes, looking at you calathea) is sorted by taking it out of the soil and putting it in a jar of water. I love moving my plants into water actually, they are just so much easier to look after!
I usually repot succulents within a week though as they are often in very heavy soil. I use a cactus mix and they love it.
I’ll have to give that a try 👍
It is in cactus mix. I have that for my cacti and my succulents. My other plants have a different mix. I don’t think my crassula can go in water but I like the idea of doing it. I’m experimenting with Buddha temple it’s my third, they just kept dying on me so I put it in water. It’s rooting.
I do agree with you about keeping your new plants in their nursery pots! So many people can’t wait to get a plant home and change it’s pot. It’s just mean, in my opinion. I’m not afraid to prune my plants when they need it, but I’ve never cut the roots! That’s pretty scary! Maybe I’ll try it this spring and summer.
Trust me it’s fine to prune roots 😁
Look up bonsai repotting! That will give you some confidence to prune roots
I'm pretty faint hearted about all pruning , but will try , with your reassurance!
Now I know why( before) my plants died. As soon I got home I repotted. Not anymore I left all mine in their original pots just like yours. None has die on me, so much easier to care for them. Especially I like my house plants to stay little lol.
Another thought provoking video, thank you - I really appreciate your content. I've been contemplating setting up grow lights for my riparian plants, and you've confirmed that my instincts are correct. 🙏
Thanks Melinda. It's well worth getting a grow light!
I can't thank you enough for sharing all these housgardner tipps with us. At least for me, those helped a lot.
I love houseplants, yet I always struggle to keep them alive. Got tipps from gardening centers, where I bouth them, yet never really understood what is happening. Since I am watching your channel, and it is not for really long, ALL my houseplants are doing better, while using your tipps. Also I started propagating plants the way you shown us, with a IKEA transparent box. Darn, those little pants grow like mushroons. I am overjoyed. Now I have the problem, what to do with all the new plants. - When I have the problem of finding a place for them, then I know I have no plant based problem anylonger.
Thank you. Glad you're enjoying the videos 😁. Love those perlite prop boxes!
Give them to friends and neighbours 💖
Or family 🥰
@@bkirby1732 That's acutally a good idea.
Saw and saved the first videos of yours last night. Subscribed then and today spent time rearranging the living room to get more room for plants! Yay! I feel more comfortable with the desire for more plants with your well presented info. 😊😸💖
Lovely thanks very much. Glad you’re enjoying the vids 😁
Love your show!! Extremely helpful! Keep up the fabulous work 🥰
Thank you! Will do!
Excellent video Sheffield. Very informative. Well done.
Thank you 😁
If I only knew these plant tips 5 years ago 👉 th-cam.com/video/AhBUS_40-kE/w-d-xo.html
Great video.... love the adequate lighting tip for cuttings, thank you
My pleasure 😁
My Hoya carnosas have been in their 4 inch nursery pots and same soil for a full three years. They grow like crazy and I have to keep trimming them. I just had four snow white leaves this week on one plant!
Have you got them in lots of light?
Another great video! You are by far my favorite planty TH-cam channel! :)
Love it, thanks Jordan 😁
I have three boxed out south facing windows and I have mirrors on the sides of the window box and even added an extra shelf for plants in the middle… the sun isn’t really filtered… but my plants have been acclimated and are very happy … even my calathea! I rotate them almost every day and give most distilled water :)
Sounds great!
I just started watching ur videos. I started collecting plants. Im loving the hobby of caring for them. Good advice you give
So nice of you thanks for watching!
Isn't this encouraging? I have always had some plants for years, but really need this sensible education to "move up" as plant shepherd. Best luck in your plant success!😁🏵️😉
Love your videos. I have learned so much!
Awesome! Thank you!
Excellent 👌 many thanks...so much common sense ❤️
Thanks 😊
Bloomin' good tips! Thank you!! 👍
Thanks 👍
Great tips. I've made a lot of these mistakes. Thanks!
Thanks 👍
Thank you very much for so much useful and good information you give , I write down most of the information so I can use it for later use thank for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Anna
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful
Thanks 😊
Oh my gosh I do that I repot asap darn I thought that was good for plants. So glad I am hearing this
👍
I have a hacksaw that I use to chop off the bottom few inches of my severely rootbound outdoor/landscape plants. It’s so much easier! They are sometimes so jam packed with barely any soil left in some, especially the ones you get cheap in the fall that sat in pots all summer!
Great tip!
This is very helpful, thanks!
You bet!
I can absolutely second Sansi bulbs. I bought one after watching some of these videos and noticed a difference in some succulents immediately. So got a few lamps and three more bulbs. Game changer if you’re suffering UK winter.
Nice one!
Lots of good tips. I grow calatheas here in Florida by growing them outside on shaded areas 8-9 months out of year then winter them in my green house over winter where it’s still continues to be humid in closed conditions with all the other plants. Do same with other traditional indoor tropical like aglonema very successfully. Most finicky plant to over winter like this is zebra plant you are right it’s s very tricky plant to grow
I bet you're plants are loving life in Florida! The Zebra plant sure is a puzzle 😥
Nice video. I live in the Philippines and still kill my tropical plants lmao
Oh no. What happens to them?
I agree with you about everything, very good advices ! light is n°1 issue, very important for having a good growing pace and also for keeping the variegations. Another tip, mostly for beginners, always keep in mind, or written down on a tag on the side of the pot, the exact complete name of the plant, it is useful, you can make some research on Google or TH-cam to know the needs and care of the plant. Also slowing down about watering or fertilizer can be useful ! As for children, being a good "parent" doesn't necessary mean "too much," you can do more harm than good ! sometimes less is more ....
Great idea about the tag. I really need to do that!
Good advice 👍
Thanks 👍
My Alocasia California, ZZ plant , and my money tree plant is still sprouting new growth often
One of the reasons cuttings might not grow roots fast in a glass of water near a window is because of excess light exposure. Most roots grow better in darkness as they would be found in their native habitats. If you using a potting mix, make sure to use one without fertilizer as so to encourage roots to grow and search for nutrients.
One of the reasons why houseplants get leggy and fragile is because they aren’t subject to wind as they would in their native habitats. 15 mins from a fan every day will mimic the wind and encourage them to grow denser, stronger stems.
Sorry, can't get behind your first point. I believe the more light the better for root development. Your second point is interesting.
Oh dear...I went to Cuba and even with a load of sunscreen became a cooked lobster the very first day. I totally understand what you're talking about when you say don't leave your plants exposed to the afternoon sun shining through the window!! A thin white curtain can help protect them and keep them healthy looking!
👍👍👍
I propagate in cold, dark Canadian winters all the time but mostly just plants like Pothos and Vining Philodendrons, plants that root in water easily. I put them under my Sansi Grow light as well usually 1-2 feet away max and it really helps them root fast. I find it is best to propagate in a room that is around 20°-26°C. As soon as they have 2 inches of roots or more I love to transplant them into a small plastic pot with drainage holes into long strand Sphagnum Sphagnum Moss, I soak the moss in water with an organic fertilizer mixed in, since the rooted plants need food and the Sphagnum Moss doesn't have a lot of nutrients. I like fish/seaweed emulsions, then squet out excess water, keep the moss nice and damp at all times, make sure there are lots of air pockets and the moss is not too compact but the roots should be well covered. You can spritz with a spray bottle as needed, in dry winter daily is what I usually need to do. I do recommend watering with a watering can once or twice a week when it is on the dryer side making sure to mix in some half or quarter strength organic fertilizer (depending on how strong the fertilizer you are using is) with the water about once every 2 weeks. Something about the humidity the Sphagnum Moss provides and the oxygen being able to get to the roots way more easily makes new leaf growth happen 10× faster than it would if you were to transplant those same rooted cuttings into potting mix. You can continue to grow Pothos or vining Philodendrons as well as many other plants right in the Sphagnum for 6 months to a year or even longer as long as you transplant to a bigger size as needed and keep fertilizing but I usually transplant to potting mix once the cuttings have tripled in size or after about 3-4 months. You can also propagate unrooted cuttings right into Sphagnum Moss, using the same technique however you don't need fertilizer until roots form and it is best to keep your cutting covered with a clear bag or something for extra warmth and humidity, and make sure they have a lot of sun or a grow light. Look up spagnum moss propagation boxes they will change your life!
I’ve never done moss actually. Do you find it hard to remove the moss once they have roots?
,juj*kill?⁸
I've been given rooted cuttings in moss (small vining plants which means small, more fragile roots), and it was quite difficult to remove the moss. It might work better on plants that grow beefier roots :) @@SheffieldMadePlants
I'm a winter propagator, anytime of year really. I'll pot things in winter too. To be fair I live in Arizona and my conditions are warm and dry in winter. It makes for a slightly longer growing season.
That’ll help 😁
Thanks this was perfect information for a noob! Peace.
You bet!
“Have a plan for your plant.” I honestly never thought about that before I bought a plant.
Pro moves 😂
Yep thanks to my grow light I propagate year around 🎉😊
What are you propagating now?
Great video. I wish everyone would calm down when they get a new plant. They immediately want to put it into a pot 3X too big and then mentally shout at it "Now you can grow!" It doesn't work like that. As soon as I go through the 'Your pot is too big. There is too much soil and that soil will stay wet too long after watering' does the light bulb go off in their head why they are killing their plants.
I'm a winter propagator only because I have one room in my house that is quite warm and gets a lot of light.
I wish I had the light in the winter. I get about 8 hours a day 😥
I bought my plants in 6 weeks ago because it was starting to get cold here in Alabama…..my Thai Con was growing a beautiful new leaf and I knew once it came inside for the winter, the new leaf would take forever to unfurl….I finally tried to unfurl it myself when I saw the tip of the new leaf turning brown, I unfurled the leaf and it was black 😩🤯…….I just ordered a humidifier and grow lights.
Unfurling new leaves can be tricky for sure. They sometimes get stuck so it’s hard to know what’s best. Lots of folks say it’s best to leave it alone but I often want to jump in
Thank you for the tips. I tried and tried to keep some varieties of succulents but ultimately, I don't have enough sun light for them to be happy and they all elongate. Grow lights would fix that problem but introduce a new one. I don't necessarily have an electrical outlet nearby to plug them in. So I gave up trying to keep echeverias as I live in Canada and the natural light I get is just not enough for that plant to thrive.
Ah right. So I guess you're not getting much light at the moment?
I even filter water for my outdoor plants
Thank you for info, its too bad you don’t have the captions available on your videos 😊
I have to winter my plants in my bedroom so my roommates cat won't eat them. I have west and south facing windows, but to supplement for the dark corners, I put full spectrum light bulbs in every light fixture I have..... So far so good 🥰
Sounds great!
@@SheffieldMadePlants When I'm watching your videos, I see a bunch of plants that we both have 🥰👍
@@valeniusthekat like it 😁
I tend to leave them for a week or two in their old pot, then I will just re-pot them in a bigger pot to let their roots grow out. But all my lights are time controlled, so I try to keep them in their vegative photoperiod to keep growing roots vigorously!
Nice setup 👌
@@SheffieldMadePlants thanks, it really pays off if you know how many hours a plant needs for its vegative or flowering states.
This way you can keep growing them until you want then to flower.
Although, if plants see the winter sun and they have a short flowering photoperiod (8-12 hours) most of them will still start to flower even if there is a light on them!
This has to do with infrared radiation as the sun goes down!
Heh, it was still +10C outside and the regular +21C inside, but that moment my orchid dropped its flowers when I aired the apartment for few minutes. I suppose the draft from the window was the worst part in its opinion.
My golden pothos adventure continues. A small leaf with some stem dropped when I tied the leaves around a stick. I thought of, as a funny emergency action, to put it in a mug of water and see what happens. It grew nice roots and now it's pushing a new branch out, it's drinking like 1-2 cl of water a day from the mug. It's the only golden pothos in my apartment that is doing something and it's driving me crazy. I'm starting to think the soil in the pots has mold or something. I'm just a bit concerned about repotting in the winter and I just repotted them at the end of the summer. I poured cinnamon on the top of the soil like you suggested in another video for various threats and keep hoping
Don’t worry about potting it up in the winter as long as you don’t keep the soil soggy 👍
Great 👍
Thank you 👍
Where do I know your voice from??? It's so soothing. Do you do voiceover for another totally unrelated channel?
Haha no this is my only public platform 😁
I propagate in winter because that way i can plant them so that they start growing in spring in the growing season
Do you find it much slower?
this is my first time to watch your video and its very informative i have a question about the light how many watts do i need for the plants
My grow bulb is 32w
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you very much for the reply i appreciate it so much
I can't sing the praises of root pruning more! I adopted a rather leggy root bound pothos from a neighbor, sawed the bottom and saw the plant spring to life after a week or two. I think the roots had gotten so overgrown that they were blocking the roots towards the middle from getting water. Though I'm curious if root pruning can be used to keep a plant in a certain sized pot?
Yep it can be done to keep a plant in the same pot. Eventually it might start to look top heavy though
6:53 earned a sub. This is when I scream at them to calm down😂
😁😁
I have a lot of bright light coming through my bedroom window and it also gets pretty hot, so I thought cactus and succulents would be perfect. Today, I noticed that the stems on a couple of my succulents turned red. Looked it up and found out the window is too intense for them. I guess I didn't acclimate them properly. 🤔
Thanks for watching 😁
Bro mirrors are B.S. flat white walls reflect more. Try the rolls of metallic looking bubble wrap for insulation, maybe $15 for a big roll. This stuff reflects all light!!!
Another good video mate. How are you getting on with your verrucosum be interested to hear how you're getting on with it.
Thanks Jack. It's doing ok. Got a couple of brown leaves which is annoying but I'm sure it will be fine come spring and it's fully settled in.
Ah brilliant good to hear if it makes you feel happier we have 20 here and a few are suffering from a slight burn. Personally I think we are too close to the lights(8ft), haven't quite worked it out. What I do know is if you can let those aerial roots with sphagnum moss, Coco chips or plastic cup cut in half wrapped round the back near the aerial root they really go nuts after you've done that. Personally I'm pretty sure we got ours from the same nursery and my main conclusion it's in the wrong soil.
@@jackbramley5771 ah right good to know thanks
Like your videos😊
Glad you like them!
Do t think I’ve ever considered others envy over plants!
i often repot as soon as possible - this is the case with aroids and calatheas as, in my case, they often planted in a rather soggy medium (plain raw rice husk) and they rot fast. yes they got stressed out but it's much better than to let them acclimatize while being terrorized by root rot
this is an actual experience; i kinda wasted a lot of bucks for waiting a week to repot a plant. three days is the longest i can tolerate
If it works for you are your situation then 👍
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes, but i type ‘often’, not ‘always’; sometimes, few nurseries are dedicated enough to mix potting mixes that will ensure their plants that i purchased can last long enough in my home before being repotted, but it’s more like a story too good to be true unfortunately
@@wiandryadiwasistio2062 that’s mad. I guess I’m lucky to have decent nurseries nearby
@@SheffieldMadePlants yeah, i really hope one day houseplant farmers around me should be educated enough to use proper potting mix (even if it means more cost but more quality and more happy plants)
i propagate monstera albos during winter with great chance of success. :)
Risky but I like it 😁
I have been propagating my Hoya this winter in an east window. It seems to be working. It has roots an inch ling in a couple weeks.
Nice plant to propagate
@@SheffieldMadePlants My Hoyas seem to be unkillable! They are so hardy.
I do propagate in fall and winter. Probably because I’m bored being inside so much. 😂
I do a bit too. Do you find it is slower?
@@SheffieldMadePlants
I don’t really know lol.
Me not turning the heat on in winter my tropical plants are like👁️👄👁️ lmao I life in France the temperature insight my house don’t drop under 14C they’ll be fine this winter just like the past few years🤞🏽😊. I propagate in winter and it still works, it’s dependent of the plant tho. Just started a new water propagation with my calathea and Susie is doing good so far ✨. Love your vid always find something useful👏🏽
Thanks, glad you liked it. Is that a Calathea from a leaf cutting? I've not tried that before
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes I cut just under the “knot” the new roots grow right there!
I have heat run all around the baseboard in my apartment. My plants can't get away from it.
I was under the impression that orchids usually need re potting since they typically are over watered from the big box store. I bought a really nice pair earlier this year as a present for the wife. Looked up some videos and by the time I got around to re potting the orchid it was really too late for one of them. Gave them two to three months to turn around and they died.
If the plant is in a poor state then yea repotting is a good idea
It really should depend on the state of the orchid and the extent of the potential damage, be it overwatering or dessication from being on the sales floor for too long. Is the medium appropriately airy or is it hard packed with sphagnum moss? Lady at the market gave me 2 orchids in bloom because they were looking poorly and dehydrated. I normally rehydrate orchids when i bring them home and leave them alone until its time to remove the flower spike. Those 2 were still looking bad 2 days after rehydration, so i repotted them and found some pretty gnarly root damage, and repotting it activated most of the bud nodes on their flower spikes. This was 9 months ago and one of them is still in bloom and growing new extensions on that same spike all the time. The other finished its bloom cycle after 3 months and is now producing buds on 2 new spikes. I have another older one that although it looked ok, the medium did not seem to be in terribly great condition, yet it never stopped blooming for a year and a half so i ended up repotting anyway. It didnt stress it out at all. Eventually its spike died down but I have only ever gone 4 months with that orchid not being in bloom. It is currently still sporting flowers it generated last christmas, and has 2 more spikes coming in. It really is all relative to each individual plant.
depens on the plant i ususally buy plants that grow really big, they also root incredibly fast in that case i do repot them after the buy
If they need it right?
@@SheffieldMadePlants in the most cases yes
espeically outdoor lands profit from it these deformed roots from the pot are not good in normal garden soil
I have a fern which has brown hairy Legs? Arms? Which has always grown outside the pot. Baby ferns grow from these brown hairy Legs? Arms? Can you please tell me what it is called and how to care for it? My son, who was 10yrs old then, unbeknown to my Partner and I cut some of the hairy Legs?Arms? off, sewn them together and threw it onto my Mother-in-law's head.🕷 She was terrified as he'd been asking if she has seen his brown Teranrtula? All day this went on. He then threw it at her. We had no knowledge of this what he made. Afterwards, we lay it on top of a plant pot, covered it in half an inch of soil. It grew, stitches and all! I had ferns all over it! My son is 40 now and my Mother-In-Law still blames me! Seriously, I do not know what it is. Any advice will help greatly please. 🕷🕸
You are 🔥
Hey you, I need your help. I rcently got a large fiddle leaf fig which I placed near west facing window. I tend to repot it right away, because the soil is of poor quality. I guess itˋs only coconut soil and and nothing more, lile perlite or so. I watched your video and your tip not to repot the new plants right away. I have already bought a ficus mix from sybotanica. Repot or wait? What should I do? Please help me 😅
If you think it needs a repot then go for it. Shouldn't be a massive problem
Thank you for this video, useful as always. I have a questions though. I know I can use distilled water to water my plants. What about mineral water? Would that be too many minerals? Would it eventually cause spots on the leaves?
I was also wondering what would happen if I used boiled (cooled) water to water my plants? Boiling removes calcium (partially) so in theory it should make water softer.
But if that's true why so many people add eggshells to water and soil?
I'm sorry for so many questions.
Hi. I’m not sure about mineral water. Spring is probably better. Using water that you’ve already boiled is fine but I wouldn’t bother boiling water specifically for plants. Calcium is good for plants. It’s chlorine and fluoride that can cause problems
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you!
I'm guilty of winter propagation...so impatient...
Easily done!
Put sunscreen on my plants - got it!
I live in a southern apartment, western windows... Otherwise I wouldn't keep plant.. I do have mirrors but never will I ever wast energy on growlights, especially not under the momentary circumstances, no spidermite alocasia, but I can live without them 😉🍀
If you've got the right space that your plants like then keep at it!
I'm in South Texass. The sun here... It's hard. But my African mask, velvet leaf, loved that full sun. As did a snake plant and a vining philodendron. Just saying. I'd also like to point out, at least in America, a lot of times you buy a plant, it's sitting in sodden soil. Sometimes it will be dust dry. Other times, it's horribly pot bound. This is why I repot the first few days.
I usually give the newbies a week or so and that works well. I'm in Colorado,US BTW😸🦋💖
Fair enough. Pots seem to be ok where I am. My point was that we should check and not just repot as a matter of course 😁. I’ve been to south Texas. Lovely part of the world.
Monsters are amazing.
Their leafs behave like solar panels.
When light is low, the leafs need a more solid surface to soak up the rays and feed the roots.
But when there is abundant light, the plant self restricts photosynthesis by reducing the amount of leaf surface. = Striations.
Nature is great 😄
It's only US, CA on the sanzi website in your link..? Al the lights are US ONLY.. ☹️, SHEFFIELD is UK I thought? How do you buy them?
You can ship to the UK
QUESTION. WHAT ABOUT PLANTS THAT HAVE ROOTS GOING ROUND AND ROUND IN THE POT ???DO WE CUT THOSE ROOTS OFF OR WHAT ??
Don't be afraid to give roots a trim 😁. As long as there is at least half the rootball left you should be ok
What do you water plants with if not tap water??
This video has all the answers 👉 th-cam.com/video/FZeNL5YnHlg/w-d-xo.html
Most of my plants (ZZ, Snake, Euphorbia, Fiddle Leaf Fig, etc.) are from Africa.
Why has my cassula ovata pot money tree just suddenly dropped off. I walked past it and that was that all the plump shinny leaves fell off. And all of a sudden nearly every plant has lost one to two. And it’s only since the weather changed. Please help, I’ve lost all my confidence with growing plants. I used to grow plants like a jungle and many plants in Darlington started from my plants ( if they’re still alive). Wish you did house visits.
Maybe one day 😂. Has the temperature dropped in your house since summer?
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes but can’t do any thing about that, can’t afford heating on 24/7 even though I need it myself. The council won’t believe me when I say it don’t think it works. One day soon. The plant doctor from Sheffield
@@kristinacallender-pryor1455 it might be a temperature swing it’s not liking if it’s near a cold window or radiator for example. New leaves should come in the spring 😅
@@SheffieldMadePlants I’ve collect d the leaves they are all sitting in filtered water till spring. With it looking so healthy I was flummoxed especially with her sister still doing well and they were near enough in the same place but this one is older. Thank you
Your accent reminds me of Norwich 👍
😅
Instead of tap water what do I use?
Rainwater, distilled or filtered are options
Now then…. You say give the plants a good shower now and again, however it’s using tap water. You said it should be filtered water to water the plants🤷♀️ HELP! is ordinary tap water ok then?
Thank u for reading this😩
@@Spray738 depends on the plant. If it’s not sensitive to water then a shower is fine
Im living in japan . My pothos & some other plants are dying . Please help
What’s happening to them?
♥♥♥
I don't like the mirror idea. One time a mirror like that caused a fire on our blinds.
To much chlorine and salt in tap water
All those grow lights must cost a mint to buy and have them on for hours and hours.
They’re LED so not bad
No tap water? What are you suggesting, filtered water, like a dedicated Britta? Certainly your not suggesting bottled water!! Are you?😂

Has anybody ever heard of a digital device that measures the amount of sunlight a given spot gets in a day-and can tell you when it’s too much and too little?
Doesn’t exist? Well, then. Some smart electronics engineer: there’s an idea for you.

I love how this just assumes every viewer has indoor plants and lives in a subtropical region. Pretty useful for some people, but half the tips were pretty useless to me; quite disappointing
Sir Richard, you are absolutely right about winter propagations.🪴
I have been rooting some Pothos cuttings for 3 weeks and nothing has even begun to root! UGH!
I did it to try to fill in bald spots on another Pothos and to grow separate plant as well. I guess, eventually it will give me some roots but you know how easily Pothos usually roots, so I know something is amiss. I have it sitting in a desk about 3 feet from a south-facing window because other plants have filled up that spot. Oh well….😂🪴
Sounds like it definitely needs more light to start the roots coming out. It’s slow in the winter
@@SheffieldMadePlants You’re right. I just made room for it near a south-facing window. Going to put today’s date on the vessel so that I can see how long it has taken to give me 1-2 inches of roots.🪴
Hey Richard…..Great information! I am moving plants every day to take advantage of the light during these winter months. Still trying to decide if I should buy grow lights. Thanks for the comic relief!😂
One more thing….when you get a free minute, please check your Instagram. I sent you a photo of my latest plant.😊🪴
Thank you! If you've not got great natural light then grow lights are great in my opinion. I'll have a look later tonight.
