I want more of this please! Whenever I have a planty issue everyone and every site screams “you must be overwatering!” Which I know I’m not. Being able to diagnose what’s up with a plant is the bane of my existence.

[@cephalonplant4087]

Look up the App "PictureThis" It diagnose plants by Picture you take of it been a dream for me even without a sub

[@Dani.J.]

I bought a honeysuckle fuchsia plant for 10 dollars from the local plant shop and I can't help but feel like they were laughing at me on my way out. I've been trying so hard to do right by this plant but it's been dropping leaves like The Fast and the Furious drops sequels. I don't know what it wants😭

[@kelsey9605]

Wow you’re numbers just keep going up and up! Nice job!!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you 😊

[@18Alpine]

Right? I've been following this channel for a long time.

[@sandyloyst1811]

Great video, hope she grow to her glory! I love how you went through all the steps for us noobs. Happy growing and Peace. Ontario Canada. P.S. I did the download and I really enjoy the e-mails, still waiting on my third grow light, and finally used some perlight.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@JhinPortolan]

As a uni student that just started my plant journey, thank you so much for all your useful advice! Much love from italy 🇮🇹

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

Welcome to the wonderful world of houseplants! A whole new world is going to open up to you. Enjoy!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

My pleasure 😊

[@Starrynightdiner]

I had no idea that rubber plants were part of the ficus group. Huh…interesting. I used to have a beautiful one that i lost to mealy bugs. Yuk. ❤

[@fishypetkeeping]

I never thought about the possibility of it being rootbound! Thanks!

[@PlantPerson58]

Knowing your plants well and what they normally do seems like good advice. You’ll know right away if something is amiss. I love your root cause analysis of the problem (excuse the pun, I can’t help myself).

[@roxannecox7861]

I love the bin. 😂

[@ashleys885]

Great tips! I had a very similar problem with my ficus and turned out my issue was too much sun! It was in a South East facing window which it loved in the Canadian winter, but once the sun became stronger in the spring a couple leaves started to turn yellow. I had to move it back from the window. Now it’s happy again!

[@Drinkyoghurt]

Have you ever thought about potting up a bunch of your plants in the same soil/planter? From what I've been able to gather (read: I watched some documentaries when I was bored) plants communicate through their roots and can actually speak or shout at each other as well as help a distressed plant out with extra nutrients. This way it would be a lot easier to keep them healthy, especially if you also have some mushrooms helping them out.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I’ve got some pothos together

[@keyonceb.599]

@@SheffieldMadePlantscan we get an update on them ❤

[@sandyloyst1811]

I have a new green lucky shamrock(under a grow light)that is as big as a basketball. It's fantastic and blooms and grows new leaves constantly. My QUESTION is when do I take it out from the grow light to let it start it's journey into my closet for the winter hibernate? I'm assuming I can follow the same directions of care as your purple shamrock, I hope this is correct. Thanks Mr. Sheffield(I like calling you this) Peace.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Pretty much when it’s got a bunch of leaves

[@Morticia147]

Love your advice you give and I must say that you are responsible that my Plant collection went from 8 to 26 in the last 2 months! Now I do have some grow lights installed, better soil and a better wateringsystem - and took a ton of cuttings as well.....

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Excellent

[@18Alpine]

@Morticia147, nice. 🌱🪴🌼

[@blackgirldiary2363]

I purchased some stuff from Sybotanica through you and I'm happy with my purchase! Planning on buying a monstera soon and will definitely go back to them! Thank you for bringing us quality suppliers :)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@coconutgirl816]

Same thing happened to my ficus, bottom leaves started yellowing off and I could find nothing wrong, until I pulled down her trousers!!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

😂

[@lindaedwards4632]

I’ve just been going through the same journey with my Silver Sword. I found spider mites 🤦‍♀️

[@wilhelminaulry4663]

Hi Rich, happy Sunday, hope Jim is doing well. Work your plant parent touch and then take it easy with your kids and wife. Love ya 🦁🐱

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

That bin must be really full by now

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Need another!

[@wilhelminaulry4663]

Hi Rich, you have taught us so much. While you were going through your investigate I kept saying the roots. Really great to tell new parents. I also really love how you tell us with humor. I am English so I have the same sense of humor. Please take care of yourself and your family.love ya. 🦁Billie

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you Billie

[@N0C0MPLY]

Excellent video, thanks from Pembrokeshire, Richard. I loved the whole diagnosis checklist and remedy process.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks!

[@lisaskidgel-yn1oj]

I bought the moisture meter you advertise. At first it was pretty good. I was having a lot of fun and felt great knowing I was taking better care of my plants watering needs. This was until the other day. I was checking on one specific plant that I wanted to divide as a couple of friends wanted a piece of it. I gently took it out of the pot and the soil was completely waterlogged! I grabbed the moisture meter and checked and it still read dry! Unfortunately all the roots had turned to mush. I pinched all the tops off and thought I’d try to propagate them. Well there was just too much water in the stems and it just continued to rot further up the cuttings. This was a tradiscantia lilac I believe the type. I read the reviews of the meter after this happened and there were many that had the same basic problem. I am happy with my grow lights though that you advertise.

[@rosegold6270]

Begonia care video please. Yours look stunning and thriving. Mine are not happy😢

[@sonychocola9578]

Hello. What can i do to make my plants avoid stress after repotting?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not to mess around with the roots too much and give lots of light

[@Alwaysherethere]

I just went though this yesterday with one of my plants. I forgot what it's called!😂

[@Gkrissy]

Best line- “Check out his private parts” Ohhh cool You have your tineke in Leca. I finally have my first anthurium magnificum and I think im gonna put it in pon. I was freaking out last week about my philodendron Xanadu having yellowing leaves and I sprayed my neem oil on it. I think it’s my first “scale” outbreak on a plant.

[@Monkeyfacex13]

Out here in Arizona ppl grow rubber trees outside. I’m trying to get mine to grow huge like some house I’ve seen.

[@Sandlin22]

There are devices that catch fungus Nats, fruit flies, mosquitoes, etc. They're called Katchy. I keep some by my plants. They use a uv light and fan they work great.

[@RavenOrJustRave]

Literally needed this video right now! My tineke was having a tantrum!

[@kinglezly3020]

I have kept ficus for over 25 years I think it is root bound and maybe too much fertiliser as if u want it small(bonsai) you must give minimal to none if you want it to stay small and happy without growing out of its pot every 6months as they are vigorous growers

[@allonewordcaps]

Great video. Very informative way to figure out what is going on with one’s plants. One of my plants (pony tail palm) has what looks like thrips but I don’t know. Rest of the plant is doing really well. Just some marks on some leaves. I know you can’t tell me what to do over KZbin. Wish you could.

[@Joy1957K]

🥺🥺🥺😢🥰😘 So why when you repotted the Ficus... did you not 'trim' the roots?

[@RyanWisniewski-igotyoutommorow]

Another great video Mr Sheffield, but what’s this one’s name? I’ve memorized pretty much all the names of your plants already hahah I’m a big fan! Speckled Jim’s a fine looking specimen as well but my favorite is Mickey for some reason, Monnies okay too but I like Mickey the best lol! Can’t wait for the next one Mr Sheffield..NOTIFICATIONS ON ✅

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Hehe thanks!

[@18Alpine]

If only we had a version of you in South Africa.

[@h_schwips4891]

Interesting video (as always! ☺️). Is there a reason you decided not to cut the roots like you suggested in another video? Was it to not stress the plant out any further?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I went for a bigger pot so no need

[@AlphaGeekgirl]

1:45 If you put big rocks in the top rather than soil… Would that stop the fungus gnats from laying eggs, because those rocks would be dry on the top?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not worked for me

[@paulawilkinson6341]

Mr Sheffield I have 4 baby plants do I need to buy grow lights as we don’t get much sun we’re I am . Liverpool ! I have them in a window at the moment. But I want these to really thrive

[@High_Heels_Lady]

currently dying: a dieffenbachia with 1 mushy stem and yellowing leaves and a cordyline Kiwi since today with yellowing leaves 🤕

[@painetdldy]

that was a great lesson! 💚🌱🪴

[@M-Groen]

My fycus leaves are getting brown from the bottom up and than dropping its leaves.

[@kathykathyish]

My daughter in law has a dracena which had mostly half brown leaves. I repotted in damp but not wet potting soil with about 25% gritty mix. I had to take all moldy soil off of roots (healthy) My question is when and how should I water. I am planning on bottom watering in about a week. Any advice is welcome! Cheers Kathy

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Check the soil is dry and then water thoroughly

[@thelaughingface6159]

I made a cutting from my Fiddle Leaf Fig. . . I put it into a clear tall glass with water. I put it into a semi-sunny window. The roots are getting very good light as well as the leaves. The roots are yellowish-white and are coming in thick. I have read in the past that it is better to root cuttings in water in an opaque vessel and not put it into any sun. What is the correct procedure - and is it the same for all cuttings that are rooted in water? Thank you - USA. NJ. . .

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I’m not sure. I always use clear and things root fine

[@sumairahayat7175]

Yor plant get well soon in sha Allah

[@biba350]

Northing to do with the Rubber plant I'v wanted peace Lilly but was put off because though might be to complicated as iv only really had umbrella plants When watering the peace there a lot of different advice on water can you use tap water I'm in the UK Thanks appreciated

[@Superdudehatesmilk]

I use tap water with mine, but I let the water set for a couple days before I use it. You can also use the stuff for fish tanks that dechlorinates the water though. What works for me is keeping a 2 gallon bucket full of tap water on my back deck and I just water all my plants from it. Eventually rain water mixes in there and the plants seem to like it. But if you do decide to use tap water, just make sure you're giving it a good shower every once in a while to rinse away the salts. And keep it somewhere where it can get bright, indirect light if possible.

Bruh I got a 20 foot Green Rubber tree in my farm in India, Believe me they can take all day of full sun.😀

[@gauchesymbiote1039]

They definitely can. We can keep them outside year round on Phoenix Arizona, USA. Our summer sun is brutal.

[@LipeManz]

You can, but the plant need to produce sun resistant leafs. The ones that are not will die

Good evening my plant friend. I have a christmas cactus that's really old. All of a sudden all the new leaves are falling off. They don't turn yellow they fall off. Any suggestions? 😢

[@reginavanzuiden3737]

I knew it! Lucky guess. I hav a question. When you add stress coat to your water. Does it cancel out any fertilizer you add? I was wondering about that. Love your channel.

Nope not at all

[@reginavanzuiden3737]

Sweet!

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

Hi Richard, thank you for bringing us along for some plant care. Could you give me some advice on grow lights? I have Sansi grow lights and grow bulbs, 10 Watt and 15 Watt respectively. Unfortunately, these lights give me a horrible headache and burning eyes, even when the lights are facing the wall! I contacted Sansi, but the lights aren't compatible with an external dimmer. Do you know of any decent grow lights that are dimmable? Thank you in advance! Pinstripe.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

No sorry I only use Sansi ones

[@pinstripesuitandheels]

@@SheffieldMadePlants Thanks anyway!
