How to kill your new plant🌱

[@allanhansen481]

I have repotted a least a hundred new plants immediately or within a few days of purchase. Never had a new plant die on me due to repotting. I just replace the soil with a chunky mixture, I never increase the pot size. Most of my plants are cheap, like €3-5, and they rarely come with good soil. Many are overly wet and would need weeks to dry out in the wintertime. I believe replacing the soil has saved many of these wet ones from rotting. I also notice that many plants seem to have been repotted recently by the greenhouse as they have small roots. My 'Zenzi' had roots that were shorter than 2 cm. My Schefflera's roots did not enter the bottom 50% of the pot. Both plants are thriving now.

I like how you talk and explaining. Usually I get distracted of videos. Because people have background music or are acting overly hyperactive. Keep going like this.

[@beaolmos2293]

Thank you for reminding us not to repot unless necesary. Its an easy mistake that we all do

[@Angie-ci1lp]

I’ve learned (the hard way)$$$) to buy plants that THRIVE IN MY ZONE! I try definitely avoid tropical plant😞😫 I research what’s needed (lighting) as well. WATERING the wrong time has taught me patience,not watering every week🤦🏽‍♀️ You’re so informative.Thank you for sharing.

That alocasia Zebrina a is gorgeous. Hoping to get one myself. Can you do an alocasia care video?

[@shreyaanand6889]

Loved the Alocasia Zebrina you displayed. Would love a care video on it from you. Mine doesnt get more than 2 leaves at a time.

[@ikurasake]

I love that you have a British English accent on top of the Swedish one but some of your mates have an American

[@SpirituallyPlanted1]

I recently bought a monstera deliciosa that was on sale, it was sitting in SO MUCH water, basically swimming. I drained what I could out of the outer pot, and Sheffield Made Plants (love him, check him out on KZbin) told me to just sit it somewhere bright and it would dry out. It did! And now it's looking happier than ever. I'm so glad I didn't repot like I almost did.

[@kathymacomber5115]

The nursery I order from says NO repotting for 30 days..makes me crazy to wait- but I do! Pays to pay attention to good instruction.

[@ervicito77]

Thank you so much for your tips on how to care for your houseplants. I usually recommend your channel to friends, family members, and coworkers for advice. 🌱💚

[@vincentjayaraj51]

As always very precise. I love your gentle nudge which makes people to adopt your style and perfection. Keep it up.

[@almonick6417]

Pls make a video about moss pole vs coco pole. How moss pole will work on smart pot with pumis only

[@janealthompson2123]

I have watched a lot of plant shows, but I would say this is quite the best. Thank you for your excellent advice.

[@incifisenk9945]

Very informative as always 😍👍🏻👍🏻Thank you very much 🙋🏻‍♀️💚❤️

[@eliseleu4717]

I know this scenario I implemented it several times but now I know . You are the best plant consultant

[@bobbiechinn9578]

Spot on as always!

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection ❤❤

[@SparkleInMoonlight]

When I bring a new plant, I often very soon find pests coming out of the soil (bottom of the pot) and then get sad. Regardless of how much I inspected the plant at the plant shop, I bring it home also with new pests (usually thrips or spider mites). Please, could you make a special video on pests? I find it very difficult to get rid of them once they hide in the soil. Thank you

[@Tee_eM_Kay]

and speaking of pests, have you checked nemycel? it it worth buying?

[@georgekot6377]

@SparkleInMoonlight Yes yes yes. I hope that it won't be brand specific. Maybe some kind of diy pesticide.

[@sherriew36]

I always bring home fungus gnats when I purchase plants from big box stores. I employ some stickys along with adding mosquito bits to the watering cycle. Those gnats will be completely gone in a few weeks

[@Brian13356]

@@sherriew36 Yes! I completely agree, this is a very important step. Even if you don't see gnats yet, bottom water your new plants in mosquito bits. I lost 2 new plants due to gnats and they infested other plants This new watering method saw an end to gnats after a month or so. Yellow stickies are also important to catch the adults and as an easy way to see if you have a new batch hatching.

[@belizekaviar1263]

use 5ml bio organic neem oil with 1 liter water 1,5 ml bio greensoap, spray the leaves till drop of, spray the stem, below leaves, and soil. the pest mites eggs, beast, going die. it's the best solution and not, aggressive or damage you plant, use is till the pest is gone..

[@joannabrister3384]

Great tips!

[@thephotographersunny]

Your videos is very informative

[@dr7153]

very very good tips.thx a lot.

[@kate_metlin]

Very helpful! Thanks!!

[@joannabrister3384]

You do a great job explaining things. Thank you. I learned a lot from you.

[@lindasmirinda9697]

Love your chanel! Normally I don't report new plants but for the first time I purchased baby plants online and some of them came without any nursery pot (the plastic packaging was very well done by the way).The soil was extremely wet and they said to let them in their nursery pot to dry out first. I was a bit afraid to leave the soil and the roots naked. So I planted them in slightly bigger nursery pots which I found in my house. I just surrounded the original soil (didn't want to take it off to avoid root damage) with the new one without watering. Hope I didn't provoque any dying of my new baby's 😢 I didn't know what to do in this case.

[@newmanmansell760]

This episode was great and I love your plant care tips🙏🌟

[@almonick6417]

Make video about alocasia. Thanks

[@greenongreentv5611]

Your tip is usefull for me thank you for your sharing

[@carmengary4257]

Very helpful information!!

[@TKDGal76]

Thank you, I’m new to plants and I just Bought a peperomia.these tips will help. Thank you

[@melenelewis2955]

Thank you for excellent information!

[@Snitzler4710]

Also: Don’t buy those ceramic planters that don’t have any water-releasing holes at the bottom. Good video, thanks.

[@meikahidenori]

Actually those are catchpots. They're ment to go outside of a pot with holes so they protect your furniture. They're easy to empty out if you over water your plants too. Also useful tip for beginners if you can, pot in clear pots and put those inside a catchpot. This way you can see if your soil is retaining moisture at a glance and tell if a plant is needed a future repot due to being root bound without having to lift the plant out of the pot or shoving your finger in to check if the soil is dry as you can see the moisture clinging to the inside edges of the pot. In Australia Bunnings has these but most of the time clear Orchid pots will do the same job, especially if you have small to medium plants. This is great if you've never had plants before as you can immediately problem shoot over watering problems!

[@meikahidenori]

I'm interested in your care of Barerooted plants. It probably isn't much different, but bare rooted is a typical purchase practice here in Australia - as much so as buying potted. A majority of the time with potted you have to immediately repot I find as many places that sell potted plants have over watered them long before you get them to your home, especially indoor plants and the plants are suffering from it.

[@thephotographersunny]

Thank you so much Sir

[@ljz3952]

auw!😖 I wish I could see this video a bit early before I repotted my new plants. I bought two Lamb's ears few days ago and I repotted after just one day and even cut a bit roots because the root were crazilying bound. Now I feel soooo stupid 😭 Hope I won't totally kill them. Thank you so much for the tips. At least I learned my lesson.

[@ljz3952]

An update : lamb’s ear are growing well and have two new sprouts !

[@PanamaSticks]

Thank you.

[@xkorbekx]

the advice is isolate a new plant from other to avoid spreading pests. what if that isolated area has bad lighting. is grow light only opiton or should i move the other plants to dark location and give new plant the best spot?

[@bassemmokhtar4853]

Add river natural non coloured pebbles is good knowing that my indoor plants I have received in garden soil pots contain sand and compost? Under soil or above soil is ok ? Can I mix perlite with soil edges and surface knowing that my dracena, schefflera and syngonium have been repotted in a one size bigger of holed bottom pots before receiving them

[@sidtewari5746]

Plesse make vedio on succulents I bought exotic succulents online They arrived as dry roots They looked terrible I potted them but... two of them died I lost a good amount

[@ylvarw]

please make a video about plant-support, ex mos/coco poles, how deep should the pole be burried and how should you water? and when should you give support? and how to fasten the plant to the support

[@melanieklarofficial]

What if you want all your plants in semi hydro? I don’t like soil in my house-fungus gnats & all. I should still wait a month or more to repot it?

[@Vicky-we2zv]

Thank you 🙏 .sooo useful,👍

[@freshbreeze108]

Thank you

[@barbara4944]

Guilty of ripping off the paper wrapping as soon as I got my plants home......ooooops!

[@chichoooo5]

Thanks

[@theresasteiner2748]

My problem is light. I have NO east windows. Most of my South windows are covered by a LARGE porch. I have 2 South windows with screens and "Low-E" glass. Does the low e glass filter that dreaded direct sun? I'm in Southern Michigan.

[@larryshannon6791]

Have you done any videos on Peace Lilies ?

[@kristalprice9064]

I got my first plant...I put in a dollar tree pot. And placed in front of the window. May 3!!2022 Wednesday

[@Happy2foundUUU]

Guilty on all counts 🙇🏻‍♀️ That's how I killed my three 「String of pearl 」! Thank you for the great heads-up! I need to live my plants emotions !!! 🌱🍃

[@dingodyno9016]

my plant started getting stem rot because i overwatered it, it managed to save the head of the plant thankfully. I also heard you can propagate it via its stem cuttings alone. My question is, will this work for the stem cuttings if they started to turn yellow? or are those stem cuttings no good anymore?

[@kathleenlewis324]

[@Talhasarwar1]

The first tip I reject cuz I can’t keep my hands off when I finally get my plants delivered.😂🤣

[@wendyswift706]

So I shouldn't put new plants in the bathtub and fire hose them with Neem oil??

[@cathyspooner7093]

Wonder if your dog knocks the new plant off table and shatters the pot it's in yeap that's what happens to my plant

[@zuzuspetals8323]

Great info! Thank you, as always. I wonder if “How NOT to kill your new plant🌱” would be a better title? 😉

[@writegirl2937]

I hear you, but " How To Kill A Plant Got My Attention" right away! The Swedish Plant Guys are AWESOME!🙂🌴🧡

[@laurapearson3370]

Love Alocasia Zebrina but I've killed 3 now in the first 2 months. The only plants I've ever lost

[@dalepres1]

You forgot the most common way to kill any houseplant: let dalepes1 touch it. That is certain death to houseplants. I'm spending hours today watching your videos trying to learn to stop doing that.

[@sabinpantis4149]

I've killed a zz plant 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@barbhansen5292]

😆😆😆😆

[@larryshannon6791]

Guilty

[@jrkc9218]

Lol what a title for a video. Should have made it “what not to do” vs “how to kill your new plant”. How evil :p

[@lolitamacalintal694]
