My father had a cactus in his classroom. We were only allowed to water it when it rained in PhoenixArizona.

[@janetlentz7180]

I’m guilty of the same thing, buying a plant first, and then researching how to care for it. Most of the time I can accommodate plant needs, but every once in a while I have an “oops” moment. I don’t have a lot of plants (compared to you) but I have a big variety of plants that I really enjoy. I learn a lot from you. Keep posting your great plant videos!

[@syrta]

It happens to me a lot. I rarely go out with the intention of getting a specific plant. Only yesterday I made the mistake of "quickly checking IKEA for a couple of things while I'm already in the city" and I couldn't get past the plant section without buying six (small) new plants - and I definitely held myself back, because there were a lot more that looked interesting. Still need to do proper research on some of my new friends.

[@janetlentz7180]

I only recently realized my local IKEA has plants. I immediately thought, “Oh no!” I know where this is going in the future.

[@syrta]

@@janetlentz7180 It's a dangerous game to go into any store that has plants. I'm glad I get my groceries delivered now, so I don't have to force myself past the plants in my local grocery store every time, haha.

Hello Mr Sheffield So a few days ago I put some kidney beans 🫘 in a pot (there was no soil/mud in there just a tiny bit of water ) and I was like I’m a few days I’ll put them into a pot (Because a couple of weeks back I saw a video on KZbin that you can sow kidney beans in pots and they grow/sprout quickly and it was true because I put a kidney bean in the same pot. as my drancena there was a seedling actually amazing and this Wasn’t like a normal seedling was like a different type of seedling ) so then today I checked up on the kidney beans and what do i see THAT THEY HAVE SPROUTED 😱I was so surprised!

Got about 20 cacti.. watering is a breeze, just put them in water+ cactus feed for 30 minutes every 2 weeks in season and every month in winter.. so far so good :) and yes this procedure isn't risk free, if you're not as stubborn as I am, wearing gloves is an easy fix

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Tminus89]

To clarify, I have glass oven dishes and when filled with pots they are all about halfway in the water(+feed) so there's plenty for all to get fully saturated

[@mamabear9389]

Glad you talked about dripping leaves. My pothos did that the first time I watered it after planting my water propagations in soil. I thought maybe I over watered so backing off a bit. However, a few leaves still do this occasionally even when I am careful to let it dry out more.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

It's probably fine

[@davidruiz2474]

I literally grow a good portion of my plants to include over a dozen cacti in nothing but water. Half of them I have suspended over my 10 gallon fish tank and the others are in small glass jars with just the roots submerged. They grow just fine and I've yet to have a rot issue 👌

Seems like we all should be immediately taking cuttings when we bring a plant home, then pitching the original plant. Starting a new plant in our unique atmospheres would be much less stressful on us and them.

[@budp9844]

I have more success with buying small, juvenile versions of plants vs large, mature ones. The small ones seem to adapt to my condo's environment more readily. Larger plants look great, at first, but don't seem to be as tolerant to the drastic change from the greenhouse to my central Canadian condo. It's also more fun to watch a small, baby plant grow bigger, than it is to watch a big, mature plant wither and fail.

[@AleOfCoffee]

thank you for mentioning the cactus advice! i used to live in the desert and it always frustrated me when people assumed cacti didn't need watering because they lived in the desert anyway. if you ever lived in the desert, you would KNOW that place storms. when it rains, it absolutely pours and it is unrelenting. the reason cacti are the way they are is so they can retain that moisture and that rain, but it has to be a good soak for them to "fill up" again also, i have a question! how do you remember what each of your plants are named? do you have a document of them all, or are only some of them named?

[@tessasense2584]

THAT WAS MY QUESTION! Are they all named or only some, and how does he remember all those names?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

A desert storm sounds fun. Do you have experience? A lot of them have names but not all. Sometimes they change 😂

[@AleOfCoffee]

@@SheffieldMadePlants i do! i lived in arizona for 8 years growing up, not far from the border of mexico. storms there are powerful. during the summer especially, it rains almost all the time, with fat drops and roaring thunder. high winds usually come before it and the smell of rain on them is unmatched. we call it the monsoon season and it lasts 2-3 months. summers are super hot (reaching over 40 c) but the rains feel so nice. most of the year, it's scattered rainstorms that happen maybe once a month and thanks for the answer about the plant names! i feel much better about not remembering the names of my own plants now 😂

[@dreaminggreennursery]

You had me and my wife rolling again lol. Thanks for the laughs! If you’re not Mr. Sheffield, then what do we call you? I can’t remember what you said your name was.

[@PedroLuis-yp9ed]

I agree with all the points made here. I've either done it myself or followed your advise from other videos and have had better results or understanding of my plants. The number one game changer was the direct light for almost all my plants. Things that I have placed in my garden in direct light have made my so called "low light living plants" look malnourished. I now no longer believe in low light plants. They ALL love bright or direct light. Humidity control was runner up. My plants outgrew the humidity containers I built so I gave up that and misting and now even the Begonia rex has been growing fine with the occasional heater blowing on them. I just keep the moisture in the soil on point, and group it around other plants. Truly mind-blowing how adaptable these guys are.

Plants out in the garden is a great hack 👍

[@antoniosamarzija7085]

I am glad that your ficus elastica grows nicely. But if you are not happy how the branches are growing you can do wiring around branches and trunk so you can set branches to grow more wider... It is pretty common technique in bonsai. You can watch some herons bonsai videos on yt (he's somewhere around London maybe you can go see its nursery/garden center). I hope you have a maple tree in your garden which is good example how to prune and wire branches so you can practice

Something I follow almost religiously. If there leaves are succulent I don’t mist/ if the leaves aren’t they may get some misting. My opinion on Leca is it’s better than sliced bread, saved my bacon more time than I’d like to mention, roots love the stuff and will happily grow in it even when your a bit rubbish at repotting your seedlings.

Cool i'll stick at it

[@TheNetsrac]

Thank you for another educational video 👍🏻 I'm going to try with growing in Leca or Perlite, or perhaps a mix One thing that I'm a bit worried about is that Perlite and especially Leca is lighter than water and floaty How much of an issue is that with bigger plants growing in either Perlite or Leca? Will watering push the plant a couple of inches up and make it fall over? Better safe than sorry 😀

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Cheers mate! I've not experienced that. You just need a little reservoir to keep things ticking over so not enough to topple anything. I've got little babies that don't move. LECA is pretty heavy anyway when it's wet

Hey I have a question for everyone.. is it just me or is anyone else feeling like they are they are going through a 🪴 plant withdrawal?? 😅

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

From not buying?

[@jennifermorrales3389]

No I just got a few new ones.. no one is really posting any videos I guess I’m just looking for a plant community and a few new friends good people with the same interests as me. It’s seems like there not many good people out here anymore
