Hi Shawn, I don’t ever write but something concerned me 🤣 If you move to studio I don’t think your videos would feel so “homey” as they do now. I love seeing the surroundings of your beautiful house. The tree you have on the background gives me LIFE 🤣 so please do not move your channel to a studio. Do it for us, keep being messy and keep dealing with lack of space, it’s very relatable to all of our lives 😂 Much love from Puerto Rico

[@onlyplants]

Haha thank you so much. I already bought shelves and table for a YT studio though! It will be on next weeks video 🙈 it will be a more efficient space where I can show you guys more!

[@coqui_tasha]

Wooooo Puerto Rico presente! 🇵🇷 Looking forward to the studio setup while keeping it homey.

[@maria_nakajima]

Thumbs up to the 'keep being messy' part because I believe that makes your videos more lighthearted and exciting. Your expressions and your mistakes, thank God you didn't edit them out. I really enjoyed watching the whole 58+min (I could even watch the whole 4 hours. No joke!)

Hello, you are right not many advice on plant care in the tropics. Im still learning as I talk to nurseries people and other plant parents in the region. Hope to share more with you guys in time!

Finally! Reality potting!!!! Thank you so much for knocking your soil off the table and for sharing your mess. I don't feel like it's just me 😊. Rarely does a day go by that I don't have potting soil to clean up. Thought I would switch to LECA....day one I spilled those little balls everywhere.

[@renegadetherapist5664]

50 shades of pink! LOL Much better idea than plastic, as long as you keep the moss wet! I would forget lol I really wanted a pink princess so I found a "relatively" good price from Thailand, and I don't usually pay high prices for plants but this one I decided to treat myself with. It took over 3 weeks to get here in the heat (Florida) and it was dried out, one or two tiny roots still connected, dusty and all but one tiny leaf was hanging on. I almost threw it out. Planted it in a good aroid mix and watered it and just prayed : )...........it did nothing for about a month! I now have a new leaf with another one on the way. I'm sure it was rebuilding it's roots under there. Morale of the story : don't give up until absolutely necessary!

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu

[@charliemalinis5028]

Now I know why I don't dare do any vids here! Plant people be mad at me the way I plant my babies hahahaha. Step one find dirt .... In compost/burn pile only for burning organic material. Find any container that hold dirt. If no holes improvise. Put soil stick plant in and put in shady area. If plant is rooted I water if not rooted I wait the following day to water. Then I wish them luck and say live! Hahahaha love your vids. I need to work more on making my technique more refined :) love the info you share with us.

I think a lot of people will find your method interesting!

One very important lesson I learnt from watching your videos is propagation. Especially when I don’t already have green fingers yet 😅

[@nachig4754]

I have propagated begonias, direct in soil, from a leaf, no stem..just for fun and I did work, I did cover with a cloche , but where I leave is pretty dry weather, so from under the leaf , it grow little new baby begonias, very cool.

[@rachelcordoba6752]

I also do the same aerial root "training" - specifically wrapping sticks with sphagnum moss and using a twine to hold them. Then I clip the plant as it moves up until it has started to cling its roots to it. Propagation is easy then - I cut the rotten twines, pull the moss with tons of roots and cut them..Guess it works in tropical locations only? unsure :) The pot for the Philo 68XXX whatever is fab!! I really love to see how you enjoy what you are doing vs simply showing a step or process. All is so natural, messy, something falls, gets broken LOL

[@onlyplants]

Thank youu. Yes you need to keep the moss pole wet and also humidity is required to encourage rooting into the moss pole. I can imagine you’d have to spray it very often if your air is dry :)

[@KYMMEESJOURNEY]

I’m a LECA user and it has saved so many of my plants for completely falling to their death. If you use LECA IRS best to use a clear pot so that you can see roots and water levels. I enjoyed your video and your mishaps. Always learn something useful.

[@onlyplants]

Hello yes you are right I will get clear vessels soon! It would be so cool to see the roots in there too

[@gayathryvenkiteswaran6326]

Another enjoyable video! That was an interesting 'MacGyver' technique with the Philodendron Pink Princess, will be interested to see how it grows! If you're cutting stems, a good way to determine is to use a diagonal cut on one end (preferably the end going into the soil so the surface is wider to absorb from soil) and a horizontal on the other. A tip I've learnt from other kind souls on KZbin :-)
