As a scientist just getting into houseplants I have quickly come to love and respect your common sense based approach! So sick of seeing all the ‘rice/banana/coffee water’, ‘diluted milk’ and ‘Mayo’ posts they make me physically cringe 😢 been at this game for 10 months and following your system my plants are absolutely thriving!! Thank you for bringing common sense into the world of houseplants 😅
Haha those banana peal videos are definitely cringey :D thanks :)
No one is asking you to watch those videos. So either you are 'scientist' from suggested fertilizer company or u think people who grew plants before chemical fertilizer era were stupid. All those cringey things that u see come from generations of experience and learning. Your first line itself is ego 'as a scientist' because thats what u use to put others down... One shares chemical fertilizer.. and other humbly share their experiences using recipes passed down from grandparents. N u see common sense in what your limited intellect mind understands. All best growing plants with that rude energy
When that Jacklyn was touching your micans I was so concerned about the spider mites transferring 😂😂😂
I reckon the alocasia is way to delicious for them to chosoe the micans instead :D
@@sydneyplantguy fair enough
I would pace around my apt 24/7 and never leave if I had that setup. What a serine look/vibe. I'm so jealous. I just set up my first moss pole watching your video so hope my monstera bounces back and all my other plants grow as large as yours.
They will, if you just follow his instructions.👍🏿
I just made some moss poles and repotted some plants while watching you water your plants. Quite relaxing 😊
Saturday morning Watering, while watching you water. 👌👌
Another super helpful video. Thanks for keeping it real and giving us such great, easily applied tips!!!
Thanks :)
I definitely learned so much from this post!!! Thank you!!! Truly enjoy all your videos!❤️
Thanks:)
Jan... The cutest Brad!!... I'm always tempted by his adorable behavior😊... It's okay...long enough duration, visiting your apartement, still feeling motivated by some things. First, every creature needs to drink. You give me good examples so I can understand each plant when watering it. Cool!.. Second, looking out your kitchen window, I can see the vast expanse of the atmosphere. Being tired after being very busy in the kitchen...you look out the window then walking inside enjoying the beautiful plants...while drinking a cup of warm sweet tea. Fun!!... I'm learning so much, writing the names of the plants. Jan...Thank you so much.. I'm proud of you...👍🥰💚😊
Thanks :)
@@sydneyplantguy You're welcome, Jan... Cheers!...👍😊😄🥰💚
That one tip about just watering the moss poles a little at a time like with the cebu blue is a huge game changer.
Great 😊 info, Brad surety loves those massages I’m glad you have him in your vid’s, thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks :)
I am so happy you made this video. I was wondering how you watered your plants. I water mine on Sunday mornings. It takes 3-4 hours but it’s such a relaxing time for me. I really enjoy it.
Love your watering technic on the long moss poles, beautiful collection 😍
Thanks :)
Haha your cat stole the show!😆 I have 60+ houseplants and water them in a similar way- over a bucket and let them drain. Except I use rain water 😊 Overall the video is great and very informative- thanks and greetings from Poland!
Rain water is the best 🙌🙌
I love watering plants 🌊🌱... and your routine is so relaxing 🥰😉😘
Thanks :)
Great video. Look forward to part 2.
Thanks :)
Amazing video!Amazing plants!Amazing person!🌿💚🌿
Thank you :)
I learned a lot from you! Thank you so much for sharing! Love your 🌱
Thanks:)
Thanks for this awesome watering tutorial! Big fan here...I've watched 25 of your videos so far and find them equally entertaining and informative. I'm starting with Monsteras using your techniques in order to increase my chances for success. Winter in the US is a great time to start a new plant hobby. Thanks for the lovely inspiration.
Thank you :)
Oh yes thank you! I’m learning so much!❤
Thanks :)
48:30 I still cannot believe that is an Adansonii. I love your videos so much. Sooooo informative and helpful AND inspiring. Thank you! I've never owned a houseplant in my life. I'm 35 and just randomly decided to pick up this hobby, and now I have 12 plants in my bedroom and an IKEA Baggebo on the way haha. When I get in to something I tend to get obsessed and go BIG. I have this "nook" in my bedroom from a south-facing Dormer window so it's the perfect spot to grow plants in. Hope to fill it with some monster-sized aroids like yours. :) I also live on a farm with a lot of land so I see a greenhouse in my future! :D
A wonderful indoor plants.I am really enjoy in watching these plants
Thanks :)
So… I’ve made numerous moss poles and I’ve repotted numerous plants into see-through pots, using your mix. I’m nervous about watering these plants just right bc I would hate to kill them !
I feel silly writing this but … gravity doesn’t always work when I flip the bottle over into the pole. About half the time it just sits there without emptying the water into the pole. I’m still trying to figure out why it worked at times but not at other times. Anyone else have the same problem?
Love this video. Very helpful :)
Thanks:)
Love your oxalis! I've never seen someone grow it indoors
Garage looks 👍... Indiana is raining, I like using my router instead of those chisels you have hanging back there lol
Good tips for watering ,you do have a few bottles for it👍
💚🌵☘️🌱
I leaŕning how grow plants and X or Y from your i,m verry happy i,m sri lanka 🙏
Love your videos, love your plants and your passion for them. Now it makes so much sense on why you don't actually water the pots that have a moss pole. Omg I can't believe you left that plant with spider mites just sitting there lol I was freaking out for your other plants lol only because I have been dealing with thrips for a while and just seeing pests puts me into panic mode hahaha. Brad is the cutest by the way. Thanks for all the great information.
Pests are normal. I don’t freak out about them anymore :)
I know what you mean, I found spider mites on one of mine the other day and I took every one of them and sprayed them.........I have over 100 houseplants, not including propagations! LOL I thought the same thing when I saw him ......... get it away from the others NOW!! haha. But I am starting to relax a bit, I found a tiny green spider on one the other day and I can't identify it. But I live in FL so we have bugs galore!!!
I used to freak out too but after my most recent outbreak: thrips I've got a better system. I've been washing the leaves with just water and using a fine mister of water a drop of dish soap and neem oil about once every couple weeks. More for new plants. I also wash and repot most new plants immediately to reduce chance of bringing new pests in. Just bought a philo with mealy bugs and no sign of them after a good wash. And the plant the thrips were killing is doing great now (other than being a little crispy around the edges from low humidity)
@@lenagoodwin8223 Me too, total freak out, check all my plants, spray them all, etc. The more experience you get, the calmer you are. It's gonna happen and it won't spread through them all in a day and wipe them out, like I used to think LOL😱😱😱
Best watering video ever
Thanks :)
Thank you so much for sharing 😀
Thank you, very well explained
I love watching your videos u have helped me so much I watch u a!l the time this helps me so much. Great job Jeannie from
Thanks :)
Love your plants, from Midlothian, Texas USA
Thank you very much!
I use a moisture meter, making sure the needle is in the ‘dry’ zone before I water.
Doesn't really work for aroid mix tho
I can hear the Micans screaming: GGGGet The F Away From Me!!!
Lovely monstera 👌🍃
I love these long videos because I can watch them at work lol
I won’t tell your boss ;)
Very very beutiful,I like house plants.
Love this video! I’ve always been curious on your watering routine. Great insight.
Question, do we get a bit of info on your camera person? ☺️
A really good friend of mine :) but he’s more comfortable behind the camera so we’ll keep it that way :)
I'm not even able to take care of myself as good as you take care of your plants
Transparent plastic pots, so useful - why haven´t I thought about it before? 🤔 I´m going to copy it 🙂
Yes they are such a game changer !!
Dankeschön das hat mich sehr interessiert 🌱👏👋🇩🇪
the way you say moisture is so hot 😂
This was great, and answered so many of my questions! One that I’ve meant to ask for ages is from where do you get your clear pots?
Thanks :) i get them from my local bunnings
Thank you for this vidéo 💚🇫🇷🙏
Quite off topic but I really enjoyed seeing that ragged box next to your crawlers. It's something every cat owner will notice instantly. Those darn boxes we keep stumbling over, that always look like sh#* after two weeks (despite a lot of effort given) and that we still love to watch those furry little best-friends sleeping in, shooting us feisty looks because for some reason unknown to us they think they are an imperator 😂
So true !! He loves that box more than anything else !!
very nice
Very comprehensive guide as always! So my question is what do you do to prep if you go for a vacation for over a week or longer? Have you tried the jug with a wick into the soil method, or other some kind of self watering system?
Thanks :) given i need somebody to look after Brad anyway I just get a house sitter when going on holidays so haven’t had to explore any self-watering methods
Such a great video! I wish there is a company which makes sets, like plastic pot and ceramic because its hard for me to find compatible ceramic pots ( i live in eu)
Thanks :) haha yea, I have spent way too much time looking for pots that fit 😂😂
I have the same problem! The nursery pots never fit into decorative pots,specially in hight! It’s frustrating!
Hi SPG! It’s glad to see you moved successful with your plant partners😍. Can I know what pesticide will help to get rid of gnats and white flies. I used neem oil and soap solution and then vitality plus and too but couldn’t help. I still can see few around my plants. Can you please help.. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi SPG can you please reply to me. Thank you ❤
Rainwater is actually pretty cold, that's how rain water forms in the clouds and that's also how hailstorm happens.
Hey man ive been a long time follower and fan of your page i have about 8 moss poles in my home now that were inspired by your videos, my adansonii is over 8 feet tall and all my plants love climbing and rooting to their poles, the challenege ive had letely is my poles drying out extremely quick but the growing medium in the pot staying moist. How do you keep your poles moist without overwatering the soil because when i use an upside down water bottle it will often run through the moss too quickly and into the soil
Noooo I have spider mites!! I needed part 2 now 😩😅😅
The product i use for spidermites is in the description
The dude who makes remixes out of game grumps videos needs to watch this 🤣 47:06
I have no idea what that means 😅
I use clear plastic pots now per your suggestion and see that water stays for several days trapped. Almost wondering if I should drill additional holes in the sides of pots to get more air circulation especially for my root rot prone plants like Monstera Thai Constellation and Hawaiian pothos. Any suggestions? Do you ever use any Hydroperoxine or aquarium bubbler stones with water propagation?
I have tried fome h2o2 in my water while propagating and seems to work well :) Personally, I don't find the need to put further holes in the pot as my mix is very chunky but you can never have enough aeration in my opinion (as long as you are willing to water more frequently) :)
Great video as always thanks Jan 🙂. How many moss poles have you actually got? You might need to get rid of that pesky ceiling soon 🤔
Balcony plants look great despite wind and sun and being the not so loved. Kisses to Brad 😘🐈. Do you let him out onto balcony or would he try to climb?
Never counted but somewhere between 30-40 maybe :) thank you :) i’m too scared to let him on the balcony unsurpervised :P
Thank you for sharing. I found your videos for the first time today and I’ve already learned so much!
Btw what’s the name of that elongated plant on your left side?
You’re probably talking about philodendron atabapoense :) thanks :)
Hi , busy rewatching all your video , like your plants I absorb more info each time
I am really into moss poles , having fun
Where do u get your clips from
Thankyou
Thank you :) which clips are you referring to ?:) the ones in the ikea cabinet? they are also from ikea :)
Your page is a godsend. Can you make a video on propagating clippings. I fail about 50% of the time
I live in the middle of America and it’s very dry here, I keep humidifiers on pretty much all day, but I have to water my moss poles every 4 days. They are still small moss poles if that has something to do with it, but I have to water them often but I don’t mind.
Every 4 days seems reasonable if your environment is quite dry :)
This was awesome! I use the same general approach for moss poles. My only issue is I find that if I want the pole to be properly moist, there is almost always water that collects in the cover pots and it gets gross and causes rot on the roots reach down into it (if I don't take the water out every time with a syringe, which is a hassle because the plants are so heavy). Do you ever empty that water or you find it just doesn't get gross?
Just pour less water through the pole so there is no excess :)
If you're going to water the left over from the pail to your balcony plants, are you confident that if the other plants had pests it won't transfer over? Wanted your view before I start doing it too. :)
Thanks Jan for the videos! I’m so enthused - went out to buy all my mosspole materials and made 3 at one go for my monstera. Thanks for the inspiration! One question: my monstera is not yet having any root clinging to the moss pole. Do I still water the moss pole? Afraid of root rot in pot. Appreciate your advice 🙏 forget to mention I live in a hot n humid climate.
You only have to keep the pole moist once there are roots inside but keeping it moist can encourage roots in the first place :) thank you & happy growing
You can make a video of the substrate you use for your plants. Please.
Thanks learnt alot from your video (again). I'd like to ask the plants outside do you leave them there all winter.
Thanks :) yes they live there all year long
nice flowers....the treatment must be extra...greetings from anglear black green Indonesia...always healthy and successful.... Amen 🤲🤲🤲
Love your videos and beautiful plants. Not sure about the amount of use of the plastic bottle though!
Well I’m giving the bottle a second life right ? :P
Nice video and very thorough! Is the entire moss pole saturated after watering? Or do you leave the bottom part dry for the water to work its way down into?
An hr after the watering the water should have drained through mositening the full pole. If the bottom is still dry I just pour a little more into the pole :)
LOVE THIS 🔥🔥🔥 how do you keep them hydrated when you’re out of town for more than a week?
Friends :)
@@sydneyplantguy ah I guess I should go find me some of those before my vacation LOL thanks for responding 💚
Thank you so much for this video! I've watered my Monstera Deliciosa on a moss pole by the same method (watering the moss pole). I use about 1L of water and the bottom leaves going up the stem have yellowed and died. I wait until the moss pole is dry before I water and don't water the soil. Am I watering too much? Thanks for your time!
Try less water but maybe more often so the pole stays moist but never wet :)
🌿💚💚💚
I really enjoyed this video but having some time stamps would help for referring back to it since it’s so much information :)
Nice bottles… do you still get them from the “upside down bottle shop” ?
Of course, but sorry, can’t tell you where abouts that shop is :)
The kitty steals the show.
Always does
Such a great video!
Could you please show the bathroom squamiferum in a video?
Grüße from Deutschland
Danke :) i show the squamiferum towards the back end of this video (when i talk about iron bark poles) : Comparing plant supports - Pros & Cons
th-cam.com/video/gFr0pVOtzr8/w-d-xo.html
@@sydneyplantguy thank you so much for answering my question!
Have you ever used (or would you ever) beneficial bugs to help prevent mites, thrips, etc.)?
I would if I grew them in a greenhouse :)
Where do you buy your transparent pots?
Do you know much about Piper ornatum/crocatum? I got mine on discount bc it wasn’t in the best condition. It’s pushing out lots of new growth (even though I’m in the USA) but 2 leaves on it are curled upwards so badly it’s almost formed into a tube. They were like that when I bought it, figured watering issues, but they will not uncurl, even now after months of consistent watering and it’s obviously happy enough to push out new growth. I’m thinking I may just cut em off.
Some leaves, id disturb during growth will never properly unfurl :) just cut them :)
Have you tried out just putting a solo cup in the top of your poles that you can't put a bottle on? Still slow releases but you can just fill that up instead of having to slow poor
Totally an option :) i sometimes use a funnel :)
Hey man, love your content! Got a question. I've heard you mentioning in a video of yours that you fertilize "weekly-weekly". Does that mean every other week?
Weakly weekly :) so a week dillution once a week :)
Moss breaks down and degrades after a couple years, so how do you change the moss inside your moss poles if the plant has established roots on it? Enjoyed this video.
Q&A #3 - cleaning leaves, buying wet sticks, a little more about myself etc.
th-cam.com/video/q4yXtOzFj6I/w-d-xo.html skip to 16:03
how do you drilll the holes in the caps of your water bottles? safely - top side down or up? what size drill bit? I tired and made them too big and the little bugger kept slipping out of the way
I keep the lid kn the bottle when I drill the holes. I’ve used different size drill bits and they all seem to work, i don’t think you can really go wrong with holes that are around 3-5mms diameter
Where do you get your pots?
My local bunnings :)
I made the mistake of putting my Gloriosum in regular universal soil with perlite. Thought putting some more perlite in than recommended, it would be chunky enough but the long pot dries out very unevenly. Will replace it with aroid mix soon
Do you have a detailed video on watering? I'm definitely an over-waterer and so is my husband, so we would love to watch a video on readiness signs of watering! I'm using your potting mix in clear pots. Thank you!
Well this was 90 minutes of water , not sure how much more detail I can provide but I also have some tutorials in my moss pole playlist, they might help :)
@sydneyplantguy Sorry, what I meant was a short, concise version of this video that we can always refer back to 😅
sorry out of topic, but i loved your cap, what brand is it?
It’s a NewEra 9Fourty
Are you using only a lower concentration of fertiliser? 5ml instead of 10? I know you adjust for summer and winter but do you ever use 10ml concentration?
Yea I use the weak recommendation (5ml) as per the bottle
Is your beautiful queen staying in the IKEA cabinet forever or is she nearly big enough to try outside the controlled environment? I'm nowhere near anthurium level yet, lol😍
I’ll try and keep her in there for as long as possible :)
Thank you for your great videos small question? Can we put Burle max on the pole ? And is that possible for it that leafs go big or not ?😊 thank you 🙏
Thanks :) Yes it's a climber but I don't believe the leaves have the potential to grow very large though
@@sydneyplantguy thank you so much then I’ll take it down on the pole because i can use that pole for another used climbing plant 🙈😂
Hi Jan, I’m watching your moss pole playlist… my question is, in this video at 19:28 I see that you cut down a clear pot. I have done that also but I was too worried the cut edge would damage the leaf stems. Have you ever had damage from that?
Never had any issues :)
@@sydneyplantguy thank you 😊
one quick question
can I completely hose down moss poles with normal water and then use fertelizer ??
Sure :)
Where do u get the clear big plastic pits I really like that type of plant please say where I can find a clear plastic pot.I love watching your videos km Jeannie from Wisconsin.
I buy them locally at bunnings
Is it ok to use a indoor plant bug spray weekly or so as a preventative?
Suppose it depends on the spray and how strong it is. I think just using water as a preventative should be fine :)
where did u buy the big rectangular pots for your crawlers? do u have a link?
It’s in the description :)
I have ? What is plant that is above the oxawlis? Arrow shape? Sorry I don’t know how to spell the shamrock plant,
Is there a reason why you only have so few moss poles with a plastic back? I'm about to make some but I was wondering why you didn't had more.
Thanks! :)
Edit: still can't believe I watched two hours of you watering your plants. 😂 Love your content, great videos as always!! Cheers from Canada. 👋
The functionality is great but I don’t necessarily like the look of plastic everywhere
Hey, I like to see your video s ..I'm learning a lot. One questionn, do you fertilize in winter month too?
As long as the plants are growing I fertilise them. Indoors growing season is all year around :)
Thx
How many plastic bottles do you go through just for the plants 😢😮
I re-use them of course :D
What is the brand of your clear planters? I have not been happy with the ones I have found online.
Hey, i don’t think they have a ‘brand’, well at least there is no branding or name on them. I get them locally from bunnings
Dry anything is hydrophobic initially for a few seconds.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
