Who sells your nurture system in US (states)

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

You can find all my international retailers listed on the website:)

[@megandavis3466]

​@KayleeEllenOfficial your US sellers are out of stock and have been for months.

[@KayleeEllenOfficial]

I dunno what to say - that's up to the sellers when they choose to restock

[@kaferrat]

Whenever my begonias get leggy like that, I just cut & put in water. I've had good rooting success & usually the original plant shoots out new growth to make it bushier again.

[@Matildalia]

You can spray paint your existing pots black, and save some money 💰 I do it all the time. Spray paint and a satin clear coat.

[@GreenWitch1]

I said the exact same thing 😂

[@Thrinmeister]

Me three!

[@maryperry5910]

Same😊

[@Brittany_B]

This ☝

[@kantigua5544]

re propagations: i use small mason jars or upcycled pasta sauce jars that i take the labels off of. sometimes little random bottles too.

[@PlantyWho]

It would be cool if you could offer the pouches but in larger sizes as refills for the bottle! I would love the option to be that tiny bit more sustainable

[@SoliRhymesWithJulie]

Yes in the US your kitchen roll is known as paper towels.

[@patriciagrant4913]

Re-potting hack: Try using tweezers to pull out sphagnum moss from the roots. Less chance of damaging roots. 😊

[@jpgypsyxo]

15:20 I find that the problem with begonia and semi Hydro is that it’s just too heavy for the fine roots. The best way I found a combat that is 50-50 pon and perlite. ❤ 19:38 the strap on face 😂😂❤ 28:41 I’d 10000% chop the wonky vine! You can prop all parts of the plant, it even roots from the veins on the back of the leaves. I prefer perlite for begonia props because you get the best of both worlds- fast rooting in water and putting in perlite helps the transition to pon!

[@northernplantucky]

I do the same thing only I use Pon / coco peat

[@ninapit]

For cane begonia, you need to propagate the cane, smaller stems won't result in a viable plant. Chop like you would a hoya, with two leaves or more and a bit of cane. I would chop the lot, because what are you going to do with multiple and leggy begonias? Popagation vessels: I collect them from charity shops. I have a whole box full of varying shapes and sizes, mostly glass because you can see what's happening and it cleans easily. Looking forward to the next video!

[@ThePattiable]

I'm a jar saver, so I use emptied & cleaned (of course) jam jars of various sizes, pasta jars for bigger things...I also bought a cute hanging test tubed prop thing from Amazon that's worked great for my cane begonia cuttings.

[@DrinknStitch]

15:19 need containers. I'm fortunate to have a local 2nd hand store in my city that gets tons of glassware. They sell most glassware for less than $1. My entire kitchen windowsill is vintage stemware. My pinguicula pots are sitting in antique, cut glass dessert stemware. I love old glassware & using it for plants pleases me.

[@SarahFluffyErica]

The red begonia looks kinda similar to my Begonia Tingley Mallet! I'm not an expert though, so take my opinion with a grain of salt 😅 I just love the name of that one 😂

[@vintage.physics]

19:23 not the look at the camera👀😹😹

Happy to see No1 in a bottle, my pouch might last a while yet, but found the numbers already sold in bottles easier to work with a dropper so this will be a life changer in using No1.

[@lucasbrady585]

This might be late, but for your begonia, I would cut that long stem completely back to near the base of the plant (leave 1-2 inches). From there, I would cut off stem from your cutting until there are ~3 inches of stem before the leaves on your cutting. Pop that cutting into some water and it should root up in a few weeks (higher humidity will help it root faster). As an added bonus, the inch or so of stem that you left in the pot should sprout up a few more stems and help fill out the bald space that the other 2 plants are leaving. Hope this helps!

[@TheSolarmarksman]

I’ve never had fans in my greenhouse cabinets. I’ve never had a circulation issue. My thought is I open it enough to refresh the air plus think about terrariums..? I don’t think Air circulation is as important as people say it is

[@user-yz2kr8lk3f]

When I'm propagating hun I use old glass spice bottles or mini glass milk bottles keep the cost down x

[@EveVaneczek]

I’ve never grown that specific begonia but I grow other cane begonia and I usually just chop and prop them in water, but keep the bare stems, they usually bush out again as long as they have good light and water during that period. (Edited to add, if the begonia isn’t wanting to root in water I’ll sometimes put a heat mat under the jar of water as long as it’s big enough and I’m not just cooking my plant lol, and that has ALWAYS done the trick for me if nothing else will)

[@MrsPPH]

Beyond excited I can your products in US! I just ordered me some plant goodness🎉❤

[@trishdavy5560]

Prop box with moss under lights, cut every node and replant for a great display. I use salad or clear plastic container from costco, even on a heat mat, they prop so easily.

[@petecilione4166]

I use tall and short shot glasses. I also thrift for different size containers for propagation. So glad you are staying on YT. ~ Tammy

[@surgeinc1]

I have IKEA cabinets and would love to see rare, small plants to add to the cabinets.🌱

[@CarrieAnnJones-m9q]

I use kilner jars to propergate you get them in all sorts of sizes and they look cute also easy to get and cheap

[@pudgyplanter1130]

I prop begonias in water...but perlite does work well too.

[@northernplantucky]

Had way too many Cane begonia cuttings earlier this spring so I did an experiment and had about 90% success with one to two node cuttings half buried perlite in a shoebox sized prop box🎉

[@GreenWitch1]

If I buy a pot that isn’t a color I want, i spray paint it with a satin spray paint. Easy peasy & cheaper than replacing your outer pots 😉 My begonias propagate fine in water. They’re the easiest to prop in water.

[@Thrinmeister]

Propogations- I use mason jars also and mini ones, and found these really cool test tubes on amazon that wall mount in various ways (ie with a wood panel and hook or as a group in a hanger). My teens in the classroom used to love watching them grow. Also dollar store had bunches of cool shaped glass jars that are fun. “Paper towels” over in Ca, yes ;P

[@irairod5160]

For small propagations, I use cylindrical dessert cups (like shot glasses, but taller and narrower) from the party section at discount stores. They are the perfect size for a couple of slender stems (Peperomia, Begonia, Syngonium) or vines (Hoya, Philodendron). They don't require a lot of water (or substrate) to come to the right level on the cuttings.

[@jollasentertainment4080]

THE BOTTLE!!! Omg that is so good…every week I ask me why, goood why is No. 1 not in a bottle 😂❤

[@OtikaOtikaOtika]

From "fucking begonia" to this ... can't believe it 😂😂😂❤❤❤

[@daniilouwho]

USA here, I've been getting away from paper towels and using Swedish dishcloths when possible instead! Saves money and the earth!

[@petecilione4166]

Me too.hello from New York.

[@KokoraLife]

Fun project! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@LeafyConversations]

WOW 4 years in a tiny moss pot??!!! My gosh that is mind blowing! 😂 I put my Anthurium in the largest pot I can when I get them some do fine, but I haven’t gotten leaves like your Queen yet. Of course, they’re only a year old.

[@AshleyGrows]

For prop containers, I check out my secondhand store and thrift glass containers!

[@LeafyConversations]

Well the only luck I had propagating a begonia is cut off the (leaf at the lower stem) and planted it back in with the mother plant. Unfortunately though you consider it soil 😅 (some peat moss, tree fern, charcoal, perlite) is my mix. I was so surprised to see these propagate and the mother plant has regrown too. Good luck!

[@JessU892]

Loved the video, can't wait to see more of your cabinet!

[@brittewater]

You should create a pot with a proper holder for a pole that doesn't cover an access point for the self watering

[@christinematheson6713]

Shot glasses, baby food jars, espresso cups, test tubes in a nice wood stand.. broken mugs I like and don't want to get rid of lol

[@islabegg1752]

Love your content Kaylee, please can you at some stage do a soil to pon video ❤

[@SheraSMS]

I feel like pinching the top bud has worked decently to activate lower nodes for me. I’m constantly experimenting with my begonia though so it’s hard to remember what’s worked best. I’ve propped in moss, water, and soil but I’d recommend water if going to pon since the roots are so fine (at least on the variety I have they are ).

[@suepowell5008]

Yep. That's begonias. They look good until they don"t. I propagate my begonias in self watering pots with soil, ( to be precise, soilless mix but yeah) but I don't see why you can't do it in pon. I don't grow in pon, so I don't know details, but begonias are so easy to propagate.... I think you should do a test, perhaps with that big green one, you will have plenty of cuttings to play around with. I also cut the end of the leaves off, up to half, for large leaf varieties so they don't have to worry about hydrating all of that and can put energy into roots. I take my cuttings from the green stems, woody stems don't do as well. I find that every year or 2 I will just get rid of my mother plant, having made a bunch more from it. Oh, and I usually do my cuttings with 3 leaves and 2 nodes on the stem, hopefully you will get roots from both nodes.

[@KatCameron]

I have prop boxes. I too find moss dries out too quick and I just dont have energy for that. So I use clear plastic shoe boxes with some moss in the bottom. The roots take right off because they stay humid, never dry out and if kept in a window they keep warm. Highly recommend.

[@aidens5615-c8d]

Omg my parents got me the same watering can for my dorm for Christmas! Excited to use it

[@ElDotProductions97]

try out tree fern for props, much easier to transition to semi hydro compared to moss

[@AshleyGrows]

Dying at your strap comment and side eye 😂

[@noora7773]

I propagate plants in glass jars of used food products if they are water propagated and in used plastic cups if I propagate in moss or perlite.

[@102HuevosFritos]

[@skan55-55]

Great to have content popping from you ❤❤❤❤❤ Can we have an update on the Crystallinum ?

@@KayleeEllenOfficialthank you, and this year i’ll be getting your fertiliser and myco, i need to try it (i live in Tunisia, so it’s not that easy to get) And for the begonia, a clean cut and prop it in water and place it in high light

[@shaycohen7590]

I got to propagate this exact begonia and another purple one That I know remember the name of … I used water propagation The red one was give roots pretty fast while the purple one dies on me even before I got to put it in the water… The cutting sat outside in a warm weather with a lot of indirect light

Hi Kaylee! Are any of your USA contacts looking into bringing more of your line other than 1, 3, and 5? Those are the only ones I can seem to find and I've been wanting your pon and LECA if you plan on bringing it to the states. Thank you! ❤

[@amandalynn79]

I have literally been doing the same over the last few days. Milsbo won't be here until 26th though. Thanks for the perfectly timed series.

[@TrashFaerie]

For the begonia i would cut the whole stem off, then cut it up into smaller sections and put those in moss or water. Keep the cuttings consistently moist and humid. Begonia will root from anywhere along the stem. I have found faster succuss with smaller chop n props than big ones and begonia grow super fast so sizing up from a smaller cutting isn't super painful in my opinion.

[@mikkelbeck4364]

I would love if your Nurture System Pon could come in larger bags - 6-10-12 kg 🤩 And for cute prop glasses: I've bought glasses brown glass bottles and other kind of cheap crystal bottles and glasses 👌🏼

[@paoladelvalle8794]

I don't think the white pots in a black cabinet would look bad at all. I'd love the contrast. The plants will stand out more imo

[@alibauer73]

Pon with perlite for propagation

[@camelliatsubaki6]

Can you make a video about why you don't use soil? I'm wanting to switch a lot of my plants to pon or some other form of semi hydro and I would love your insight and experience on this! I don't see a lot of content on pon vs leca vs soil , etc. Especially the nutrient side of things. Can you use a regular water soluble fertilizer with semi hydro? HELP! Also I love your videos ♡

[@joanasilva8567]

Hey! Yourfeed is AMAZING ❤, but I don't mind the pouch if it's going to cost me less. It's already quite expensive to buy it in Denmark, in comparison to the one from general hydroponics I was using before at least. So, if it will mean a difference in price, please keep both packaging options so I can afford it 😢

[@Fadeway101]

i've been having luck sticking cuttings into my aquarium. you can probably set up something similar with an aquarium heater and an air pump+air stone in a plastic bin?

[@madisonmunro7299]

[@Blinki_plants]

It was me on insta suggesting your bego is probably b. Red Berry :) don't think it's officially registered but it's what it was named by the hybridizer (together with other seedpod-sisters) - 100% sure it props the same way as Maurice Amey, Don Miller, Aya, etc., so just water prop inside a cabinet to speed it up :)

[@clairepook2703]

Would be great if you can give some more info about the newest Alocasia dragon scale variegated. Maybe its not that new, but I just found about it and its quite pricey, not enormously though but not certain if its worth it. Thank you kindly and do you know where I can find more info about the Anthurium Queen, I would love one but I didn't have a good experience with the very common form (the one with the red flower) they sell in garden centres (i got that as gift) - and since then I avoid anthurium, but that leaf is so so sexy and I would love to find out more or try it. Thank you Kaylee!! :*
