Very loud and clear presentation. Beautifully explained. Best plant video I came across so far and exactly what I needed. Thank you. Take care, stay happy. I am your new subscriber
I'll definitely start the rain shower routine when watering. I just did a neem oil spray a few days ago and was so impressed to see how shiny the leaves became, never have I seen any of my plants looking so instagrammable 😄😄🍀🌿🪴 was treating my plants for fungus gnats and will now start this neem oil thing in my houseplant care routine. Thanks so much for this ideas. Happy "foliaging" 🌱🪴🍀☘🍃🌿
Wooohooo!! before I started doing this method, I never realised just how easy it was to keep my plants looking pretty. Thanks so much for watching! Happy planting! x
Great advice! I do something similar, I brought a shower hose that attaches to my kitchen sink! I give them a good shower when I water especially the ones in LECA! No over watering with them . 😍🌱
Good idea and will be doing that in the process of moving to another apartment. Very much enjoy your information that you give. You look different but very presentable😆✌🏾
Great video once again 😊 i need to get myself down to Bunnings tomorrow to pick up some Eco plant oil,, i have seen u using it and mentioning it it a lot of your videos and i think it looks like a great solution to many things as i haven't tried that spray yet. Thankyou for posting this vid, hope u are having a happy week 🌺
Thanks for watching, Sally! Yes, eco oil is so very versatile and I use it a lot! I have heard though that is that's the only kind of pest cure you use, pests can become immune to it. I don't know how true it is, but I sometimes change it up between neem and eco just to be safe. I need to get to Bunnings too, but snap lockdown in Victoria has kept me away for a bit. Probably a good thing, I really shouldn't be spending money right now! Haha hope you're also having a good week.
I have a really dumb question haha wouldnt showering the plant drench the soil and harm it? In other words, is there such thing as getting the soil too wet during waterings?
As long as your pot has drainage holes, leave it in the basin or shower for a few minutes and as long as your growing medium is good, it'll drain what needs to be drained.
What Simon has commented it spot on. In addition to that, the amount of watering isn't what's harmful as much as is the FREQUENCY of watering. Water it once WELL, allow to drain and DRY and then repeat the process. :)
Only if you have hard water, I think, but I don't think that would commonly run in household water....? I'm fortunate to have soft water. :) Thanks for watching! x
Do you have suggestion on plants who have 'leave crown' in which the shower water could be trapped in and causing rots?? I am so intrigued to shower my plants, but kinda worries if the water got trapped 😅 usually I water the media only
I have never had an issue, I just make sure that I allow the water to drain out the bottom, shake off the excess water and allow them to be in a space with lots of airflow. :)
I just received an order of Chrysal Leaf Shine from Amazon. Ingredients weren't included either on the Amazon description or on the can! But, there is a bright red square shape as a warning with flame inside, indicating 🔥 possible! I Googled the ingredients immediately and found that it has isoparaffin, butane, propane, propan-2-ol. As I see it, it has chemicals that I don't want to expose my plants to. I'm returning it to Amazon post-haste. Shiny leaves are beautiful to look at but not at the expense of my plants. From what I've seen, it seems that vinegar and water or lemon juice and water are the natural, organic way to go. That's what I'm going to be doing. 😊
Girl where do you buy that spray! I’ve been looking everywhere and it seems to only be shipped from Australia from what I’ve seen. A lot of places won’t ship and if not it’s super expensive.
i wiped my leaves with sunflower oil inorder to make them shiny , later realized i shouldnt have done that , now the leaves are with oil stains andthey dont go away ... i washed the leaves with shampoo twice already yet its stilll greasy what should i do? will my leaves rot away?
Hi there! Anytime we use any kind of oil to shine our leaves, we should always dilute them down with water. Unfortunately grease stains don't go away once they occur. I've made the same mistake myself and there's no going back. I haven't found my leaves to rot away though. The stains just stay on the leaves. :(
Hi I’d like to ask if you wash the plants with tap water😮😮😮 wouldn’t it harm the plants, since the tap water is not clorine free😮😮😮 I’m scared that tap water might damage plants😵💫😵💫😵💫
That’s my issue too with the shower method. Some plants like the Calathea plant, don’t do well with tap water. I know this video is old but I’m just coming across it and saw your comment. 😊
Paraffin though. It's the paraffin that give those leaves the look they have - but it's a petroleum and/or coal product. They do look nice and shiny, but they don't look natural at all.
I love all the greens all around you they look so alive😘

Is neem oil ok for all plants including ferns?

how did i not realize this when i water my plants in our bathroom. dang thanks for the idea. will now include neem oil after shower.
You're so welcome! x
Girl where do you buy that spray! I’ve been looking everywhere and it seems to only be shipped from Australia from what I’ve seen. A lot of places won’t ship and if not it’s super expensive.
What to do with Andensoi to get healthy leaves?????plz answer,
It will be a combination of light, warmth, feed, humidity, and healthy soil.
Where do I get the EcoPest Oil in the USA?
Good job...practical!
Thank you for watching! Hope you found some value 😊
What if theres no drain in the pot? Wouldnt there get too much water in it?
Idk im a plant noob
Guess I’ll be buying that eco oil or neem oil!! 🙃
Great tip!
It's really so good!
How do you keep dirt from going down the drain?
Great watch 👍🏿 informative
How much of neem oil do u use for a liter of water....
I try and follow the directions on the back of the bottle. It's about 5 ml per litre of water.
Im not sure leaving straight neem oil on a plant is good for it, arent we supposed to dilute it? it doesnt clog the cells?
2ml for 1 ltr of water,normally I do.
What can I use to replace neem oil?
I guess they don't sell it anymore. Searched the web and can't find it 😢
But how to wash big plants as it’s difficult to move it to the shower?
Love that detachable shower head 🚿
Same!!
i wiped my leaves with sunflower oil inorder to make them shiny , later realized i shouldnt have done that , now the leaves are with oil stains andthey dont go away ... i washed the leaves with shampoo twice already yet its stilll greasy what should i do? will my leaves rot away?

Hi
I’d like to ask if you wash the plants with tap water😮😮😮 wouldn’t it harm the plants, since the tap water is not clorine free😮😮😮
I’m scared that tap water might damage plants😵💫😵💫😵💫
That’s my issue too with the shower method. Some plants like the Calathea plant, don’t do well with tap water. I know this video is old but I’m just coming across it and saw your comment. 😊
@@darlakelso2516 Calatheas are sensitive to everything 🥺🥺🥺🥺but someone told me to shower the leaves only and careful not to touch the soil ..
Y always there are ants in flower pot ?
Paraffin though. It's the paraffin that give those leaves the look they have - but it's a petroleum and/or coal product. They do look nice and shiny, but they don't look natural at all.
Each to their own, for sure! There are also natural products to get the leaves clean and shiny without using sprays like this.
To much work for me to do this
There was a lot of red flags in your video about plant care
Can you point out some of the red flags you were thinking. Mostly seems like the common sense to me.
❤❤❤❤
Get on with it!
A lot of water wasted! Too expensive. No
👌👌👌👍👍👌🤗🤗👍🇧🇧
