I think everyone's success or failure with a plant depends on the conditions it's living in...not everyone's house is the same with the lighting, water, draftiness...We can just give it everything we can to help it grow and give it a better life than the plant shop did....I bring a plant hope and I tell it " It's all up to you now....live or out you go." I think they're listening cause I haven't pitched one in a while...they know when they have it good!! Happy growing fellow plant parents ❣️❣️

I like that you are keeping the Chinese Money Plants around to hate on it.

[@dianedeferrari3888]

🥳Ok then I'll keep mine too.

[@jaqlawrence1687]

I find Chinese money plants quite slow to grow and often have droopy leaves I'm currently trying the water conditioner 🤞🤞 Having said that the stem cuttings are quick to root in water.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

😂

[@amythompson6431]

Y ou are hilarious! I love your comments and facial expressions; you are the only plant comedian!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@karkar180]

Hoya kerri accually looks good in mature form 🙂 but it's correct you never know if you have stem or not while buying one leaf 🙂

[@pablinsky2006]

I have around 80 plants at home, I bought a string of hearts and I was impressed of how fast it died on my care.

[@snakstix87]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, tips, and your sense of humor. So good. 😁

[@nikhicormier5815]

Hi Rich... move your Melo a bit further from direct light- even the grow light. Mine is growing in a basement apartment with only grow lights and until I (inadvertantly) brought home pests, all my Alocasias were so very happy kept a bit away from the close light. Keep the dome on and slowly acclimate humidity in the new spot. Try harvesting a couple corms from it...I have three new plants coming from mine. I used Aloha Plant Life's tutorial for corms, which is really quite easy. Might be something the kids will enjoy helping with or monitoring.

[@karkar180]

OMG 3 years for Melo , you are patient 😉

[@AlphaHenriksen]

For the melanocrisis, try to put a damp paper towel over the stuch leaf for some hours. After removing it and waiting for a day's time, it should start to unfurl. If you want to read more about it, people have used that exact strategy for bird of paradise plants and sometimes pink princesses.

[@jod7633]

Thanks for that tip, I have 2 paradise leaves not unfurling!

[@deeb2000]

😂😂You had me cracking up! Thanks for the funny sense of humor with these hard to grow plants review. And, thanks for the many tips you've given over the years. I've eliminated several plants from my life even though I admire them from afar. I've wasted coins on those I thought I'd try over and over following all the tips until I've exhausted my love for them. Look forward to your next. Dee, NY

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Stargazer-vk6vz]

Hello Mr Sheffield!!! I absolutely agree with you on these plants. Lob them in the bin, lol.

[@itsmeowornever.8143]

I LOVE my string of hearts and I can untangle her easily enough, just need to be gentle with it. Mine is thriving from a cutting a friend gave me. In 7 months, she has 8 tendrils nearly 10 feet long. The purple and pink colors in the leaves are lovely.

[@sillimander2.011]

Whaaaaat? My Hoya Kerri grew into lots of leaves and a whole plant. That sucker is a beast!

[@meikilettymadlela8894]

My Aglaonema is very happy and it is the 1st plant I bought that kept in growing, others they stay for mostly 2months then they die but her is 1 year now even on our winter it comes leaves.

[@Flippant-j5d]

3:25 80's Soft rock? I presume it's _Robert Plant_ ? :)

[@dianedeferrari3888]

Palmer?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

😁

[@dreaminggreennursery]

Hahaha! Yes the bin! 🤣😂

[@kelsey9384]

Also referred to as a zombie plant the Hoya Kerri, I had roots and a part where there was a stem cut off and it still wouldn’t grow…

[@dlight9849]

My Dieffenbachia are thriving and multiplying! The Dieffenbachia in potting mix look great but grow slower. My Dieffenbachia growing hydroponically in the fountain (indoor pond) are lush and gorgeous, and multiplying quickly, which is shocking because they don't like too much water, yet there they are root-ball fully immersed in water! I'd say it's one of the easiest plants to grow, probably #2 with Chlorophytum Spide Plants being #1.

[@Lee-mmg]

I'm gonna have to keep my pad and pencil close. I'll rewatch and write down the do not buys! Thanks loads. :-)

[@TheNetsrac]

I have had some of them and got my fingers burned as well... I'm never touching any kind of Alocasia or the Monstera Albo again. Add Diffenbachia to my nightmare list as well 😉 My Chinese money plant is actually doing quite well, for some reason it seems to like the north facing tinted small window in my bathroom. I live in Denmark so a north facing windows should be the worst for plants Thank you for the video, great stuff as always

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@brenfays3255]

i have an albo from an ebay auction. a well rooted top cutting with beautiful variagation and it is pictue perfect. i had a little browning of a couple of white parts when i first got it while it was acclimating but after that, no browning at all. i use silicon, super thrive, hydroguard and optiflora plant food with each watering and it seems to be working. it does need more frequent watering than my green and thai monsteras but that has been the only difference i've found in their care.

[@lucylocket5262]

I have no problem with the Chinese money plant. I doesn't grow too leggy because I don't let it ...grow. I have the whole family of them in one big pot. I cut the "parent" plant very close to the ground and I let the babies grow. You could do the same too: you have lost of small ones in that pot.

[@kingjoekur]

I love my money plant personally , I got it cause of you 😂

[@Orchid-Care]

I’ve had all of these plants at some point, and I completely agree-they’re so difficult to care for! 😅They might look beautiful, but the constant problems make them more trouble than they’re worth. After all the struggles, I’ve finally found my plant Nirvana with Phalaenopsis orchids 😄 Thanks for the great content! 😍

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for watching 😁

[@PlantPerson58]

I have failed twice to keep a Venus flytrap alive in the winter, but to be fair the last one was never in good shape. I found it dried out on the bottom shelf in a big box store. It never thrived. I’m hoping to find a healthier one in the spring to nurture over the summer so it has a chance to survive winter.

[@sona7444]

sir, i think the chinese money plant is just being fancy af. I have one that looks like a pot of coins being spilled, no joke. I even bought him a support from your suggested merch so i can give his main branch a bit of support. I have no idea why this plant is thriving, im usually an unintentional plant killer. plants. they get moody. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@sandyloyst1811]

Rich, your plant advice is too great. I have just had to order another( that's right, my second) plant shelf. I have only been at this 7 months. My little plant room is relaxing. Thanks.

[@kelsey9384]

It’s an addicting hobby let me tell you haha

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Sounds great!

[@janetluke]

You're so funny. I hate some of my plants too

[@Alwaysherethere]

Love the video!❤

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Glad you liked it!!

[@natasa378]

I would definitely add syngonium to the list . couldn't kill more

[@MrNope-oo9nh]

My alocasia black velvet is such a pain. It has this huge gorgeous leaf and one dinky little ugly leaf with some kind of growth/cataphyll coming in from the growth point. Idk what it is and I don’t think the plant does either.

[@marionallen2222]

🤍🤍🤍🪴🪴🪴 you crack me up 🤣🤣🤣 I put my Polly outside this summer and she’s got all kinds of full leaves and babies! I can’t believe I have kept 2 alive over a year LMAO! I want an ALBO for Christmas!!!🪴🪴🪴🎄🎄🎄🎄🤍🤍🤍 my arrowhead Albo does the same thing (my substitute plant 🤣🤣🤣)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@angeliamccutcheon5107]

I've conquered Melo, but I've killed 4 Black Velvet Alocasia, so far.

[@lindaedwards4632]

Love the video 😀🇨🇦

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@lukki7ster]

No more string of hearts, no more melanos, actually no more philos ever lol. I have 3 alocasia but wont buy anymore. I have found my niche in Anthuriums and Monsteras. Green form and Thai con. Fun video

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

[@_MaZTeR_]

Pretty sure that hoya is a zombie leaf. It has roots, but it doesn't have a stem so no nodes where it can grow a new stem, so it just exists.

[@dannuck1]

Yep, that’s what those Hoya hearts are intended to be. Just a little heart that never changes and costs $30 for some reason.

[@larryl4881]

I love my aglaonema aurora and regarding to your crisis, sometimes it’s the plant not you. If I pull some memories from my gray matter u got a new one did you not in a plant mail video? Is that one doing the same thing?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I did yes and it's a super fragile plant

[@lisrijkschroeff8675]

I was totally fail , lost lots of money with Monstera Albo Variegata, this is most expensive plant !

[@norandomnumbers]

My alocasia melo is on its last legs no matter what I've tried, and look at that, what do we have here as the first on the list. Makes me feel slightly less bad about it.

[@Warrchild777]

8:23 - (Chinese Money Plant) lol - tell us how you really feel

[@marionallen2222]

6:27 what do u do with those seed pods that come out? My anthurium has been making bunches of them I collect rain water from my roof run off my plants grow like crazy

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You can pollinate apparantly

[@murielsmart4532]

Uglyonema lol i downloaded your plant care guide twice... cant find where it goes😅 technology isn't my friend sometimes.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Email me

[@BTeezy82]

Wow your first nightmare plant is the absolute most easy Alocasia 🤦🏾‍♂️. I have 3 melos that I ignore and are way bigger and hold a minimum of 3 leaves at a time

[@sheilacasper2030]

Alocashia, peperomia, strings of whatever are the ones i dont keep or buy,

[@czerskip]

Well, it's kind of late now, isn't it…

[@sunnohh]

Liked for Elon burn

[@smartiefox256]

I have the plant on the thumbnail ... it is growing but I advice everyone DO NOT BUY - you will loose your hair and go bald. 😳
