Chlorophytum orchidastrum - Care and Repotting

[@SAM-fp9ki]

I just bought 1 at Walmart..not much videos online regarding care...so happy I found yours..love to see any updates

[@PlantzNThings]

this plant is just hangin out on his shelf :) not getting bigger... but also not getting smaller...lol I would call it a win

[@fernandocarvallo9135]

This is just about the only useful of this plant on the internet. A wealth of information from here that can't be captured by reading articles or forums. Thank you! Are you thinking of posting a year-update on this plant? I have some seedlings that are slowly growing up and am interested in how yours have fared.

[@PlantzNThings]

Thanks... I seem to do updates on this one when I remember... the poor dear is always forgotten on its shelf... I think because it's so slow

[@fernandocarvallo9135]

@@PlantzNThings So putting it in a higher light situation has not sped up growth?

[@phenylalaninemusic]

I have seedlings I planted a few months ago, they’re just starting to turn orange! 🧡 How have yours done over the last year?

[@fernandocarvallo9135]

@@phenylalaninemusic they are growing fine! Fairly easy plant to take care of. Very hardy. Cheers!

[@phenylalaninemusic]

@@fernandocarvallo9135 good to know! Thank you. 🙂

I had gotten a little baby from one of my friends plants I have to go out of state for emergency and didn't get to water my plants for weeks he was still thriving and my philodendrons and snake plants they are my favorite plants also it's really great to let them go bone dry it seems to push them to grow and I've have no bugs because if that I think

[@tammymurphy392]

Reminds me of the Moses in a cradle plant. So good to see you again. Love your videos.

[@PlantzNThings]

I can see how you could think that :)

[@burplecow]

@@PlantzNThings any tips on growing these from seeds? I bought some seeds online, and have had no luck with them :( sprinkled seeds on top of soil, Ive tried them with a humidity tent, and also some seeds without. They sit in lighted window all day, then at night I put a lamp on them, nothing what so ever for well over a month :(

[@miche7032]

They can get quite big. I used to have a big one. Now I have a baby that I grew from seeds. Very easy to care for.

[@CaptPolybius]

Can't tell you how happy I am you're posting more regularly. Definitely my favorite plant channel.

[@phenylalaninemusic]

I just ordered some seeds, I’m going to try growing it. 😁

[@PlantzNThings]

Very cool :) they are beautiful plants.. they take a long time to mature from seed... well at least for me they did... but its a fun process :)

[@phenylalaninemusic]

@@PlantzNThings I came back to watch your video again. The ones I’m growing from seed are just barely starting to show their orange stems! 🧡💚🙂

[@hisrds]

@@phenylalaninemusic hiiii. How are your babies going? Any tips?

[@phenylalaninemusic]

@@hisrds Hi! 3 out of 10 seeds sprouted. One is growing really well and already has the “fire flash” coloration, the other two are just kind of small still. They seem like they need the same care as other Chlorophytum. If you go on Instagram you can find my pix on occasionalplantjournal 🙂

[@Smileyson58]

I’m always surprised when my plants do great when I don’t water them and then I remember that’s why I don’t over water.

[@angelicaverdugo9050]

6 years! Wow! I’ve had mine in my office for less than a year and it has grown huge. I think yours are not growing because you have too many squished together and the pot is small.

[@babyplantmama2115]

Amazing thank you so much!!

[@judyemmerson4142]

I love all your videos. I am so glad you are back !!!

[@PlantzNThings]

Thanks :)

[@jaysonsabadojeysown]

Mine probably loves full sunlight because it grew so big

[@MammilariaElongata]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Nhoj31neirbo47]

Are these seedlings from your original plant? I’ve always liked this plant. Maybe I’ll try it from seeds.

[@PlantzNThings]

Yes they are :)

[@pwoolard4150]

Follow up, it's 2020 (please VOTE)?? I want to buy a plant but would like to see your progress first

[@sydneydallman5461]

I have mine in a pot with no drainage. Is that okay for this plant?

[@gman1288]

Hello there I was wondering if I could use multiple purpose compost for this plant

[@PlantzNThings]

It should be fine... but I would add extra drainage... either pumice or perlite. Either a 50/50 mix or 2 parts compost and 1 part perlite.. lately I have been going higher on my perlite

[@sohibahmed6788]

hi i am sohib i m from egypt i alowys see your videos i saw your video about jacaranda tree we are in winter now can i plant seeds in 23 tempr worm weather littel humide in sandy soil not salty great effort and you are the best

[@mawehe63]

I saw one of these at walmart, but for the life of me I couldn't figure out what it was

[@claireconover]

is this plant toxic to cats or dogs? I know some orchids are non toxic & the name seems to suggest a relation. this plant looks easily divided.

[@PlantzNThings]

I believe this plant is non toxic... I know the spider plant is non toxic for sure...

[@claireconover]

PlantzNThings thanks! I’ll verify that, I’m always looking for new plants.

[@karenstrife4594]

whatever happened to the zz plant babies and the dragon fruit?

[@dianeblack6866]

interesting and funny

[@marilynsmith5323]

I have one I've had for many years I keep outside it's big I wish I knew how to upload a pic of my fire flash

[@PlantzNThings]

That would be amazing outside! I might put mine in a bigger pot and pop it outside to see what it does. Does it tolerate full sun?
