5 TIPS FOR HOUSEPLANT LOVERS

[@123astbury]

For me, the most important tip and the one that is almost always overlooked is, know yourself! What kind of plant parent do you want/need to be? Are you retired and have plenty of time to devote to plant care, or are you a single mum with 3 children working full time? Are you a helicopter plant parent who loves to tend to your plants daily, or are you looking for something that looks good with minimal care? Do you like to take nice long vacations several times a year, or is your home your staycation destination? Realistically, how much time, energy, and money do you want to put into plant care? Knowing who you are and what you're able to achieve puts everything else into focus.

When I clean our fish tanks, I save the "dirty" water for the plants. That's the only fertilizer I use and my plants have never looked better! 🐈 😻 🐈‍⬛️ 😺 🐱 😸

I don't have fish but I only use worm castings in my hand made soil & water everytime with fish emulsion in my watering cans

I have never fertilized any of my plants and they've outgrown one house and so many pots. Just ask my 4' wide aloe that started in a 4" pot like 5yrs ago. I guess they just like me 😂

So glad to hear someone recommending GT Orchid Fert. I’ve recently bought FF and thinking of what I could try on my orchids. Thank you.

[@margimorris7360]

I find the whole Fungus Gnat issue interesting. I grew up in a home with soil plants and not a bug in sight. I'm in my 50's and have had plants since moving out of home in soil and no issue. The Fungus Gnat plague seems to have appeared in the last 6 years or so which means something has changed in the production of the soil. I went semi hydro to and no more FG

[@sydneyplantguy]

Might not have something to do with the production but with the storage of these bags of soil .... they are always moist & have no airflow ... maybe they used to take better care :)

🐈🐈🐈 Great advice !! No two plant environments are the same ! Your plants will benefit from you paying closer attention to how they are responding to their placement and your care. Out of sight and mind equals failure !

[@sydneyplantguy]

Well said :)

[@EmjayStudios]

🐈I'm always referring back to your plant spotlight/care vids and then adjusting to my conditions(QLD) Even how you style your plants is a big help! Love chucking your channel up on the big screen

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thank you:)

[@heatherstephens9295]

Excellent Jan & Brad. I think the first time conditions really hit home for me was when I shifted into a totally different style of house as well. I moved from a modern sun drenched, well insulated house to an old house with high ceilings not bad light but definitely not as well insulated. The plants I had in the modern house & were thriving absolutely hated their new home so I had to make adjustments in their placements & buy grow lights to get everything back on an even keel. Big learning curve 😂😂

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

I moved in the same way late summer/early fall last year. My plants reacted in the opposite way though. They love my 100+ yr old house! They are thriving here with the 13’ ceilings, drafty original windows and covered East facing porch. They stayed out until the night we were getting our 1st hard freeze and holy cow they went nuts!!

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

People in my plant groups on fb tend to flip out when I tell them I leave my plants out until it gets cold LOL

[@heatherstephens9295]

@@FeatheredDreamStudio 😂😂 mine definitely like being cozy warm & we don’t even get hard freezes where I live in New Zealand. Our home is over 100 years as well. Love it, it really feels like a home 👍👍

[@sydneyplantguy]

Of course also depends on what the plants are used to - the plants that grew up in my plants room wouldn't handle the outside conditions well atm. The ones that always grew up outside are just fine :)

[@Ravenelvenlady]

Wonderful list, thank you. I DO buy store bought soil, as it is economical for me. I just STERILIZE the soil before use. I have no major issues with fungus gnats since I do that, as well as use mosquito bits (especially if I top water the plants).

Part of what im doing is adjust the potting mix. I live west of Seattle. I also grow orchids (55) of them. Like the orchids many need a different mix. In summer i give them 60-70%, 70-85 degree. In winter temps and humidity are lower.

[@jessemejones9648]

[@LeafyConversations]

@@alainburki I don’t use soil. I make my own using bonsai jack grit mix, tree, fern, and molly’s aroid mix. Costs a lot but worth it.

[@VinaSash]

Finally someone who really explains why its so important to have the perfekt conditions for plants, this is why i had a lot of problems with so many plants In germany, especially in winter and especially in my flat i just dont get a lot of light and heat, so plants like alocasias just will not thrive here, even though i LOVE them, i had to get rid of all of them, now i only have plants where i know, they will live and thrive even in the colder months Also, i work in a garden center and when people ask me how to care for a plant, oh boy, they are overwhelmed when i ask them, well, how are your conditions, how is the light, is it warm, is it cold, how far from a window is it standing and so on And you wont believe how many people come in and ask me which plants can live in room with NO windows... Well.. Fakeplants

[@lesliebegamkenefic5961]

THATS WHY they make grow lights ✨️, my apartment has 0 natural light so EVERYTHING in my apartment is grown with assistance of good, bright grow lights! It looks like day in my apartment 15-16 hours a day. My plants are chosen by my conditions in my place. Lots of natural humidity ( no use for humidifiers)! Living in Texas, USA , close to ocean, thus lots of humidity even though I run my A/C 24 7

[@lesliebegamkenefic5961]

Try great grow lights, my apartment has 0 natural light & my alocasias & other humid, warm loving plants thrive

[@VinaSash]

I have grow lights too, but how i already said, its also too cold in my flat during the colder month, i have very poor isolation, so heat just literally goes right out Alsocasias do not want anything under 17° celsius or they will go dormant and i dont like that

[@lesliebegamkenefic5961]

@VinaSash Understand completely, no issues here in lower Texas near the Gulf of Mexico!! Praying you & your plant babies are snuggled in this coming winter 🙏

[@sydneyplantguy]

Yes !! Conditions are so important to understand first !!! But people want that 'instagrammable' outcome so they often just go for the plants that look good rather than the ones that suit but are not willing to put in the effort !! And the question regarding plants in rooms without windows .... I get that so often :D haha

Hi Jan & Bradley 💫 Thank you for another enlightening video. Enjoy the rest of your week. 🙏🏻💫🐱

[@sydneyplantguy]

[@NottyGurlStyle]

😺 I'm new to plant care so your information has been very helpful. I have two cats and I have one that loves flowers and plants which makes it harder because I have to be very careful on which plants are safe. Will check your other videos to see if you spoke about cats and plants as well!

[@Gkrissy]

Good points. I would also say don’t be afraid of failure and try something. For example, for years my mother told me alocasias are impossible and then one day 3 years ago I bought one and had success and another and another. I realized it liked the conditions of my office, not too direct sunlight but indirect light. In fact alocasias are easy care plants for me like pothos. One of my black velvets went dormant and died last season and that was because I didn’t maintain the “heat” conditions it required in that room.

🐈 New to your channel but really enjoying your common sense approach to plant care. I got started with succulents years ago but thanks to being able to rent a space for my photo studio with great SW windows I’m now into aroids. Spent the last 2 years just figuring out the garden variety tropicals and now trying the fancier stuff. LOVE your moss pole videos, I’m making my own now and plan to transition everything that climbs to them. Being able to keep them compact and use lights really opens up the possibilities of what I can keep at home too. I also strongly prefer the look of growing them as displays with a definite front side as you do. Anyway, just want to say that I enjoy your content, and congrats on taking it full time. I strongly suggest selling merch. T-shirts featuring your cat, whatever! Lots of people who do KZbin full time find that to really be helpful. Your audience wants to see you succeed. Also, I swear your accent changes by the day. Sometimes more German, sometimes more Aussie. It’s delightful to this American. Have a great day!

Thank you :)

[@Planty-Mandy]

🐈 Agreed with everything except the potting mix! I use Pro-Mix here in Canada and I have no fungus gnats. I just make sure to buy it from inside the store and not from outside (which is easy since everything is inside 7 months of the year). Maybe it’s proof again that a lot depends on conditions, even for the soil you buy.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hehe fair enough! Different countries might have better ways of storing them but here in Australia, it's definitely something to shy away from :)

[@Prairiequiltr]

I learned, in Canada at least, to never buy the bags of soil that have holes poked in them. These are the ones that have fungus gnats. I too buy the pro-mix or sunshine mix #5 (I think it is the #5) in the big bales and they never have fungus gnats. I have bought it stored indoors or outdoors and never had issues.

[@FeatheredDreamStudio]

I always research the plants natural habitat and conditions. It makes all the difference!! I also (personally) dont like bark in plants. I was just telling a friend that I feel like that's where a lot of mold and gnat issues start. 🤷‍♀️

Thanks SPG , I’m 100% agreeing with you. I personally always change my nutrient. I only use organic nutrient, so I try to vary as much as possible, in order to give a big variety of nutrients.

The last year I seriously started with carniverous plants and it made me learn one important thing. All nepenthes species come from the tropics but they need 3 different temperature regimes. It is based on elevation, even in the tropics there are high mountains with snow. And highland species need wwarm days and a temperature drop at night to survive longtime ( not freezing ), lowland/sealevel species need hot day and night. This must be the same for other species, so could explain why some philodendron thrive and others dont in the same home. Poor Brad, you see him looking up annoyed when you start waving your hands around disturbing his sleep :)

I completely agree about the store bought potting mix, but unfortunately, where I am, it's really hard to get my hands on good quality substrates like sphagnum moss, horticultural Charcoal, and even chunkier perlite (all I've been able to find is the super fine, nearly powder stuff) without paying an absolute premium for them. So instead of buying gnat infested box store varieties, I've been using a pre-made soil mix from Very Plants, and so far, it's been great.
