The Birkin loves to be ignored and can easily withstand going dry for a short period. I’ve even gone through a period when I hated this plant and wanted it to die and it didn’t. So now I kind of like it more.

My pilea was stretching so much, it was about 30cm high but only had four leaves on the top, the bottom leaves were all gone 😂 I considered to do the big chop but couldn't really commit since it was my first plant ever and I've sent babies of hers to friends all around the world! A few weeks ago, my bedroom mirror fell over and fell into my plants. Miraculously, the only plant damaged was the pilea - the tip was cut straight off, almost as if the plant gods had sent me a message 😂 I put it in a jar with water, maybe it starts to root

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Wow that really is a message sent from the heavens!

[@dawnt6791]

I don't have much trouble with my dieffenbachia, unless I overwater, BUT they are fabulous when grown exclusively in water. I use them in aquariums, and they grow extremely well in that setting. Take cuttings from your fussy adults, plop them into a jar of water, and just leave them there. I've got them growing in water jars as well as my aquariums. Mine get a LOT of light. I found when they don't get enough light, they don't grow well, get scraggly, and the lower leaves fall off when new leaves are produced.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Nice tip thanks 👍

Wow, dude! what a great tour. Fantastic videos since I subscribed. Love the way your plants are arranged in your home. I think the grow lights are a great investment for plants that are in odd spots. Your videos means there's hope for me too. My kid thinks I'm crazy for buying so many, especially as quite a few have died on me but the experience, has greatly improved how i look after them. Cant wait for your next video.

About the Dieffenbachia, my Mars has been doing great for at least 2 years now.. I have it in a spot 2 meters from the nearest window (3,5 meters from my south facing windows), it has medium indirect light all day. It stands on a bar, so it's well clear from any cold drought when I have a window open. I water it once a week, never soak the whole pot doing so. I guess that accidentally was what it loves, it's a meter high and 2 weeks ago I spotted the first small brown tip on 1 leaf which I cut off. No new browning so far on that leaf. Hopefully there is something in here that helps :)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@MJEvermore853]

This was enjoyable to watch. You have a nice home and your plants are beautiful. I'm so glad to find out that I am not the only one that had problems trying to grow a diffenbacia. I had one a couple months ago - had to keep cutting yellow leaves off so often that I decided to repot the thing. It croaked within the next 24 hours. No more diffenbacias for me! 😂

Tradescantias .. When the tip leaf is large enough to get a grip on. Pull it out! New growth will starting coming out a long the stem above it. I make a game of it. Walk by, pull 10! I do it at different lengths and my plant doesn't look chopped. I took pictures but I can't figure out how to add them. Sorry. I also. Add pieces in the top. Sprinkle lightly with soil to bush up the center growth. That's how I get more from my Tradescantias!!! Hey!!! 63 plant lady Abilene,Tx!!!

Hello, you have a really good channel and I always enjoy it. I wouldn't even bother with the peperomia scandens. Why deal with plants that regardless of good care still fail. When this happens to me off to the trash. Plants that don't do well for me ruin the appearance of my healthy plants. And besides life is stressful enough! Lol

After watching another one of your videos I made a couple of changes based on your advise before submitting my order. I also purchased a Dieffenbachia and the bottom leaves are turning yellow. Is this from overwatering like you suggested is happening with yours? Cheers from the U.S. state of Florida

Dieffenbachias are my villains too. Few weeks back I complained about them and the same day I found that the one that was really struggling through the winter was in bloom. Few days later as the first blossom started to close off I noticed that another one is opening!!! Apparently it's very rare for them to bloom indoors and mine had two flowers at the same time. It still does not look great. Long naked stem with bidncrown of leaves on top. And two flowers. Although they don't really look like flowers...

Do you have any alocasias in your collection? I struggle with them. My alocasia azlanii died within two weeks :( I bought it online and it shipped about 6 days and was left in the cold and dark trough Easter and I guess the plant didn't like it. After I planted it and watered it, it died within two days. The mold ate it right away. Bought a new one today and will give it a new try. Wish me luck 😊

All of my Diffenbachias are doing really well about a foot away from my northern windows (Sydney, Australia). My Tropic Marianne is in an aroid/worm castings mix and I let it dry out ALMOST completely and it keeps giving me new growth. The other 2 (Amy and Memoria Corsii) I recently transferred to LECA and have not skipped a beat. They too are pushing out new growth....and it's autumn here now. So one thing for sure is that they need HEAPS (lots) of bright indirect light and to almost dry out if in soil. AND they need to be fertilised. I use GT Foliage Focus (an Aussie product) which I believe may be available now over there (or the US). All the best with yours 😀

It’s been doing better lately. I’ve been using water conditioner that seems to be helping

When I was young, we (and others around us) had what we called Chinese money plants. I'm not sure... I think they weren't the same as what you have. There was a time in their life cycles when you could peel away outer layers of leaves (or leave to get that way on its own). My mom had a good-sized one that she eventually planted in the back yard under a leafy tree. It thrived there , in Southern NJ, USA, not far from the Pine Barrens. I don't remember what they looked like green. We had some dried branches in the leaves " papery " stage, and also that one living plant.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Hmmm I’ve never seen that on a Chinese money plant. Sounds like an interesting plant

[@ixchelssong]

@@SheffieldMadePlants Well now I suppose I'll have to ask my mom about it and report back ! 😂😁 Edit: Welp, right after posting that I thought "That wasn't leaves it was fruit," because I seem to remember seeing seeds when we peeled back the layers. So I looked it up. Lunaria biennis. Also called Honesty.

Is the plant something Scandis at 8 mins a wandering plant?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

It’s a trailing type I believe

What is loam?I researched but i still don't grasp the idea

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

The soil? Isn’t it like Sandy soil?

I have a rice plant. This summer I went on holiday, it dried up and died without watering. But the corpse had grains on it! I propagated it from the grains and now I have its children. 😮

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

That's awesome

[@dmitrimikrioukov5935]

@@SheffieldMadePlants I actually had it for many years. It seems to be just grass, but it is a perennial.

I just repotted my philodendron verrucosum, and it suddenly died. Would love to know the process you did to revive it 😮

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not much to be honest. I cut all the brown leaves off and just left it alone. It’s in a bright spot which helps

[@EranAriel]

@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you 😊 🙏

[@greeneyedbeauty50]

I noticed that all your plants are in plastic pots then inserted into a decorative pot.... Instead of potting the plant directly into the decorative pot...WHY?? Please explain.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

So that water can run out of the bottom when I water and water can be wicked up when I bottom water

[@greeneyedbeauty50]

@@SheffieldMadePlants ...of course.... 🥴 Thank you!!!

I have just repotted treated and fed a rattlesnake cal…. It’s turning yellow. Cut off 6 leaves yesterday idk if this is sensitive plant or maybe moving it to soil from that coir stuff it was in was a bad idea idk

I love peace lilies, phalaenopsis orchids, begonia rexes, and bonsai trees. :D The Begonia Rexes are really really sensitive to over-watering. Water it once when it's not dry yet, and they just become mush! Literally. XD I've gotten better at them over the years, and one thing they really love is to sit outdoors, in full sunlight, or partial sunlight! They need more water then too, so less risk of overwatering them. Very colourful and pretty leaves, and cute little pink flowers too. :) (Also, they don't smell bad like the "normal" begonias do). They don't like the dark and dry cold air of winter, no. Not at all. Also, they need to be propagated about once every three years. They're not very long-lived plants.
