N'JOY POTHOS UPDATE! | It's Still Alive

[@roxannecox7861]

You saved a lot of that plant! That's awesome!

[@kristinamurphy7380]

Your feelings are completely valid. But I have to say, it's hella refreshing to see someone else trying to make the best choices for their plants. Thank you for posting your honest situation with your plant babies!

[@marytsaab]

I’m so glad the N’Joy pothos is still living. Yes, it was hard to watch you cut it but as long as it works for you.

[@youwerewild]

I have to tell you, everyone who has plants kills some of them, or at least has mixed results. It's not a big deal, we are all learning! And in the end, you will be able to salvage a lot of this plant, which is great. The leaves are beautiful.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

You're so right! We all kill plants LOL and thankfully, yes, much of it has survived and is so pretty!

[@kaylastahlbaum7265]

I had to come find it! 😉😏 these things happen! I'm glad you're trying again 🥰

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

LOL!!

[@lindaholder2222]

Becca I just purchase a NJoy and it is so cute. IM GLAD I STUBBLED upon your video and leaned sometimes new. thanks and happy new year.

[@missjoan8831]

We live and we learn so now you know, keep giving love to these plant babies 🙂

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yesss I can do that :)

[@deaconsmom2000]

I'm just learning to grow foliage plants and the body count is rising. I've been in the cactus/sturdy succulent game for a long time, but I'm expanding my horizons, much to the dismay of several Tradescantia, quite a few Rhaphidophora tetrasperma, and a truckload of the more delicate succulents. I tend to forget all the cactus I've killed since I was a little girl. I rarely recall the death toll of my Strings of Pearls. We don't talk about the lithops. Shhh. Everyone who grows plants will kill plants. We make mistakes or we buy plants that aren't at their best. It happens.

[@SuperAmolicious]

Thank you for this video. My njoy was droopy and I checked the roots- there was root rot. Salvaged the healthy bits and put them in water.

[@mlaughalots]

OMG this is me! I bought the same exact plant, but a smaller version, almost 60% of the leaves fell off :( Now, I am trying to save it. I am going to put a few in water and the rest in soil, and see what happens. :) Thanks for your experience/informational video!

[@CuriousVixen1]

Well done! I'd be super happy with those results. I love how genuine you are and how your personality comes through in your videos. I've got a few Qs I'd love to hear answers for: - How many plants do you have? - how old are you? - tell us more about your other hobbies- you seem really crafty - what's your day job? Keep up the good work! I'm looking forward to the next video :)

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I'm so glad you see my personality!! That makes it so fun for both of us! And good questions :)

[@shirleyrobinson3943]

Keep going, doing great ❤

[@heatherdickson7966]

I think you did a wonderful job I’ve been collecting plants for at least two years maybe a little longer I ended up having to move and lost several of my plants it’s all in learning so again I think you did a wonderful job from your plant friend

[@hollyhasegawa4240]

Becca, you are just as real as we all are, we learn from our experiences, it was a gorgeous huge plant, but surface looks can be deceiving, I think once you figured it out you did what you could to save as much of the plant as you did, and it's alive that is the important part, and you will have a few plants once you plant the other cuttings, and they will be beautiful. We all love our plant babies and only want the best, keep loving those babies, and keeping it real, see you in your next video, bye for now.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I'll definitely keep it real :) Thank you for saying this!

[@bdaina]

now you have many n'joy pathos plants instead of just one big troubled one :)

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That is very very true :)

[@MyCleanLeaves]

You saved a ton of that guy!! Sweet!! And hey, don’t beat yourself up.... you did way better than I would have done :) Question for your Q&A: How is your white ghost euphorbia doing?!? I want one sooooo bad! And what medium did you use to pot it up? (Sorry if I missed this in a video you may have done but I don’t think I saw it)

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh gosh, you would have done so great with the plant I'm sure!!! :) Okay great question that I havent answered yet!!

[@cathyspooner7093]

I think you did a great job ,you have done a great job, your lrearning

[@ericakane5227]

Thank you! I had a struggling baby njoy and I learned a lot from this video! I took her away from the grow light and fingers crossed!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Very glad!! 🙌🏼

[@auguststudios]

Enjoyed the video, it was like hanging out with an old friend. Thank you.

[@MarionBotanical]

Pothos are my fav :) Thank you so much for sharing

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yes no problem! Thanks for watching :)

[@plantsandpiggies7758]

Just a q & A questions- are you using plants instead of flowers in your wedding bouquet? I know a lot of people now are using succulents instead of flowers. And now you have your ghost cactus what other plant do you really want? Can you talk about how you style your plants and how/where you will put them in your new home- maybe a tour of where they will go, and do you have an outside area in your new home for your cacti? Glad the pothos is doing well. I had a similar thing happen to mine and I re-rooted it in water and now it's healthy. I love plants like pothos that you can do that with.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Great questions!!! & Yes thankfully they're so hardy.

[@pnh165]

I didn't see the original video -- what were you doing to your Njoy pothos that was incorrect? Alsooo! Yay! I'm so glad you've decided to do a Q&A video! Heres what I want to ask: 1) Which plant are you most proud to own (ie. revived or rare)? 2) Aside from plants, do you have any other interests or hobbies? 3) How did you meet your partner? 4) Are you a teacher? Why did you choose your career pathway? 5) What is your favourite place on Earth and why? I would ask more but then I would just be considered nosey after this point! XD

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/opKUipSDZ8qZas0 Here's the OG video you can watch it :) a lot of people said I should have left the root system how it was and just potted it in a bigger pot! LOL great questions!!! :)

[@eclairesdesertjungle]

Omg I had the same thing happen with a pothos n'joy I got from Lowe's. I was so happy with how lush and healthy it looked and when I repotted it, I found it was made up of mostly unrooted cuttings and cuttings with root rot, etc. I tried to save them, but most were too far gone, with the mushiness spreading soon after.

[@eclairesdesertjungle]

But I'm happy to see you were able to save some of yours 😊

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Omg what the heck that’s awful 😭😭 I only have a small plant left of this haha but that’s fine with me! I have bad associations with it now lmao

[@redvanillamama6892]

I found myself in the same exact situation this summer with a Huge $20 Snow Queen. She was so Happy and Perky other than being completely root bound. Very little soil left in the 8" original pot. Gently broke her apart and made 8 plants too. I was not expecting to lose so many plants. I didn't even think of taking them out of soil and put them in water since I kept them with some established roots. Ugh!! They developed root rot in the new very airy soil. Was it the shock??

[@marygorchidsmore2058]

Great video, good that your experiment went well and you saved a lot of them . Thanks for sharing and happy growing! Don't be nervous about filming your success or failures, you are doing well! I like your videos.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Thank you for saying this!! I definitely feel better about sharing failures now that I got this one out of the way! Thank you for saying that :)

[@soniabebbington]

I've killed plenty of plants lol

[@916plantmommy4]

Great job Becca thanks for sharing ❤

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Thank you for watching!!

[@kristysins-and-outs6515]

There's no help for my problem on KZbin! I received a pothos from Amazon that looked amazing until I repotted from is training pot. I learned that it was a pot full of cuttings. It's been a month and I have maybe 4 out of 20 cuttings struggling to survive. I'm glad I watched this because I've kept it under a grow light. I'll no longer do that. I've put it in fast draining soil(because I was drowning it) and put a fan near it to help dry it faster after watering. I've watched everything there is on pothos care, but nothing helps my particular situation. Any suggestions would be great. Thank you! PS. I live in Colorado. Dry climate.

[@rameshkrishnan3254]

Burnt leaves = too much sun Loss of varigation = too low light Yellowing leaves = too much water / water logging. Leaves drooping = needs water

[@eckehareckbert2731]

Yup i was 3yrs late to comment but this njoy plant doesn't really like to be water and put in the bright light. When I was watching ur other video of big plant and u placed it into water, was very sure it would get root rot and was worried. After delivered to me, small njoy was too gorgeous, when watered after a week, got mushy & died. I got the 2nd one small too, had it in growlight, almost brown one leaf so there, I learned again heehhe. still have it though, worrying coz I watered a bit yet the 2 leaves are yellowing....But this is so beautiful that I can't give up. Great that u saved the half of them, hope they would love longer, any update of them😊

[@cathyspooner7093]

Pretty plant

[@cathyspooner7093]

Great questions!! :)

[@shiiitaki]

Questions for Q & A: how did you start your channel and was it hard? I want to start a channel and relating it to plants but don't know where or how to start.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Great question!! Thanks! :)

[@kalisfinest805]

Did you have any plants that you thought would be cool to have but then turned out to be a headache? I had some purple velvet plants that were soooo pretty BUT they were just to much for me!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oh my gosh, I’ve seen those around and they do look pretty but I’m not surprised they’re so much work 😂 I’m trying to think.... but I don’t think I’ve ever bought a high maintenance plant just because I know I’d immediately kill it! Hahaha

[@tuliplouart]

This happened to my scindapsus pictus exotica! I didn't realize it soon enough, though. Once I caught it, basically all of the roots were gone. I have cuttings propagating, but I don't know if they'll make it.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hopefully it makes it!!

[@kriskrischi7571]

I think you did a great job on those cuttings. And hey, we're all learning here, lol. For the Q&A: I'd like to know how how albo syngonium is doing! And when/if I can expect a beloved piece in the mail, lol. (Jk, or am I?) 😋 It's just so beautiful! How are you loving it? I collect arrowheads. I have 5 so far. They're just so beautiful and EASY!! Plus I live in Louisiana and they just thrive here! There are some that even grow wild here.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

TRUE! We are all learning! HAHA hey a giveaway could be coming up soon :) you can order them online, though! Ive seen them from a few different retailers. Im so jealous they thrive so much for you! It must be the humidity... its never really that humid here. blah!

[@kriskrischi7571]

@@BeccaDeLaPlants I'm ordering some hygrometers just out of curiosity to see what it stays at in my house. I mean, i have begonias and arrowheads inside and there's never been any crispy leaves on them. I have yet to own a calathea to test it out on those, lol

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I really need to get one of those!! I keep putting it off because honestly I don't wanna know how dry it is in my house HAHA. But yes calatheas will be the true test!

[@kriskrischi7571]

@@BeccaDeLaPlants I just ordered some off Amazon pretty cheap. Louisiana in general stays humid, lol. So I know its humid in my house too. I'm just curious to know how humid. And with it being full on springtime here (mid to high 60s during the day) I've been having my windows open almost every day. It's been lovely! Our spring days do run a little less humid tho.

[@rainbomg]

What does the shock or burning look like in the leaves? I’m trying to diagnose one of 3 plants having a sudden downturn

[@woahnatalie]

Wait, so are you not supposed to put fresh cuttings under a light? I just planted some Njoy Pothos cuttings and I have them under a light. It's not a grow light, its a LED light. My other plants seem to like it, so I figured it would work well with my new cuttings.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

This is an extremely old video from the very beginning of my plant journey. They plants didn’t do well because of shock and how badly they were root bound. The info is super out dated and definitely not helpful! Haha

I didn't know that a lot of the root system was rotten. I would have also treated that part as cuttings 💗

[@nathaliep5701]

How are your plants doing now?

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

These ones are long gone! Lol

[@shastadazy]

I am propagating the same plant. No roots yet. How long did they take to grow roots in the water? What kind of sun do you use while in the water?

[@yourefriendlyneighbor3407]

Use clean bottle water for cuttings, I put them in bright indirect light but if you want the roots to grow a little faster put them in brighter indirect light, and they’ll take about 2-3 weeks to root :)

[@rosetan3242]

Hi Becca, found your video when I’m struggling with my N joy pothos. Any idea why they have brown edges? I place mine under bright indirect light. I’m not sure if they are not happy with where they are now.

[@mwoods4608]

Try less light see if that helps. Are the edges crunchy or soft?

[@rosetan3242]

@@mwoods4608 I moved it further away from the window,it gets less light now...I donno if the edges are crunchy or soft,it’s pretty much feels like that leaves,just that it’s brown with some yellow lining...if u get what I mean
