Hello Sheffield Made Plants 🖖 absolutely love your channel and thank you so much for all of the amazing advice you are giving to everybody on KZbin. I noticed you have a Begonia in you huge collection and was wondering if you could possibly do a video on plant care or give any tips? I got one from Homebase around a month ago and it's gone from having about 25 leaves on it to just 1 now. It was completely saturated in water when I got it with a maggot/worm in the roots, I didn't realise how bad this was for it till about a week or two into owning it and then repotted it completely with Perlite and coco coir. It has been fed once with plant food and the soil is drying out now ready for a new water. I have looked everywhere online for help with it but something just isn't working... my bedroom is south facing with glorious rays of light bursting through each day and I know it can't have full light as the leaves crisp up and die too. I'm really struggling with it and I don't want to give up hope. Any advice would be amazing, it's a Begonia Rex. Thank you 😊

Great video, as always. I'll share my theory on indoor plant care here, which is that one needs to try to imitate the natural environment your plant evolved in. Most houseplants are tropical or sub-tropical. Many people misinterpret this to mean 'jungle'. and there for hot and wet. "Tropical" actually refers to orbital science! Hold on, I'm not going to go all 'sciency', but if you look at a map or globe, you'll see three major horizontal lines (lines of latitude). There's the equator, of course, in the middle, and there's two more, one twenty degrees to the north, and one the same to the south. These are the "Tropics" of Cancer and Capricorn. (And no, not the book by Henry Miller!) They denote the limits of the sun's angle as the Earth circles the sun, specifically the highest latitude where the sun will appear exactly overhead at noon. This varies with the seasons, of course. Now Mr. Sheffie;d and I happen to live at about the same northern latitude. almost halfway between the equator and the North Pole. So our day length In winter is about six or seven hours. But at or below the Tropics, the day length only varies from 10 hours to 13 hours seasonally. Thus, most of your plant pals Mommies and Daddies grew up with a fairly consistent day length. Oh sure, they'll survive during our short-day winters, but you can't expect them to be happy about it. Supplementing light in winter to give them that 10-13 hours of golden showers (no, NOT Henry Miller!) will help them a lot. They've also evolved to experience either warm dry periods or warm wet periods. You also have to keep in mind that 'tropical' only refers to locations on the latitudes, not the climate. There are deserts (uh, Sahara, ex.) and cold places (mountain tops) in the tropics. Irrespective of that, the day lengths are the same. So, if you want to keep your green-ish pals happy, give them what they want. By learning where your new buddy comes from, and the ecology of that place, you'll know a lot more about what to give them to make them feel at home in your home. This goes for growth habits as well. Climbers are gonna try to climb, spreaders are going to try to spread, some chaps will stand tall and slender, some are short and wide. (No body shaming allowed here!) They all do much better when given the chance to do their own thing. Happy Growing!

I agree, if the plant growth then you can fertilize, no matter if it´s summer or winter. If you are unsure you can always dilute the fertilizer more, this way the plant still has some nutrients if it needs them, but you don´t risk over fertilizing. Also flushing the soil really well every 1-3 month or so can help getting rid of extra salts left behind from fertilizer.

IF I reuse soil when repotting, I only use it with the plant it came from. I beef it back up and put it in the new pot with that same plant. Lately I haven't been beefing it back up though. This year I've been using a tip I got from one of your videos. Filling in the new pot around the old one, then just plop the plant in without disturbing the root ball too much. It's much easier and my plants look and grow the same.

Hi! Love your content. I keep having this question though. Why do you pour water after transplanting to get rid of air pockets, but then poke holes in the soil with a chopstick to create air pockets? Is that not contradictory? And while we're at it, doesn't the moisture meter act as a chopstick every time you check your plants?

For the soil: just make sure the soil isn't exposed in any way. I feel like it's tempting to store the soil outside, but that's where the pests are. And like fungus gnats, they don't need plants to be in there to thrive, they even prefer decaying matter. But always: these creatures don't just pop up out of nowhere. They need to find the place, and if the soil is stored well in a way that pest insects cannot get in, there shouldn't be a problem. (or add some predatory insects that eat/kill the pests, that may help too)

Nice to hear that you also don't water your plants before fertilizing. I never understood this one either. The only thing this does is saving money if you top-water, because you make sure that the soil is saturated before fertilizing. If you top water dry soil with the fertilizer solution, you are wasting that solution for saturating first.

But Richard, how do I get my extreme jungle look if my plants don't touch? 🤷🏼‍♀️🤔 I think nearly all my plants have a buddy they touch but it's BC I've got ONE smaller window and everything else gets grown with sansi bulbs and as much as I love their bulbs, I don't really want to need my sunglasses inside. So plants get placed close to the several lamps. So far (knock on wood) I've only had fungus gnats as pests and they're not even bad this year, last year I had to spray, so I'm not concerned. My monstera Thai is just touching the deliciosa as they're sharing a grow bulb but with that only being two plants it's again far easier to look them over and bring death to pests. It was cool enough last night that I pulled my alocasia out of the window sill as they love to touch the glass, it's only 19 inside and the sun is still missing so I've not moved them back but also haven't found "winter spots" for them yet as I wasn't expecting it to go from heat wave to needing a hot tea and an extra blanket. I'm hoping that my actively growing alocasia don't get a bit of a shock and start to go to dormancy as it's not cool enough to need heat 😭 Send warmth! 🆘

@@SheffieldMadePlants place the soil in oven for 40 min 180oC. Or wash with boiling water.. It should kill every thing. You can add some fresh organic soil to revive the soil from nutrients that probably lost by the heat, that way you fresh things up without using all new soil. I grow from seeds so I'm sterelize the soil all the time

I boiled broccoli, and used the water to feed my plants. So far none have died.

Fungus gnats are a trivial issue if you assume they are in the environment and act accordingly as a matter of routine. Regular applications of nematodes will take care of the gnats so that you don't need to worry about reamending and reusing your soil. And you'll also be able to get rid of those sticky traps!

I gotta say it was slightly jarring seeing you with hair in some of those shots. Who is that strange man in your house? Burglar!

I had so much trouble with pests in my house plants until I learned your tip of bottom tray watering. Just like you promised my pest problems evaporated. Plus I got the moisture meter, and now I’ve stopped overwatering. My plants are so much happier 🌱🌿🪴
