Can you help me with my rubber plant leaves are curling inward I have a grow light 4 , for hours in the day nothing is helping could you tell me what I'm doing wrong it has a bottom watering container I watered all my plants from thank you

@@lindajackson8068 that normally means a plant isn’t getting enough water. Could be another stress though. Check for bugs and disease and have a look at the roots

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great to hear!

[@RC-yb5dp]

I have been pinning my plant nodes to the soil for years, but I was using hair Bobby pins that would be rough on the stems even when I bent them open, but I will start using safety pins because it seems less damaging. Thanks for the alternative.👍👍👍

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You bet!

[@gstandifer9278]

I’ve always used paper clips. Large plant, large clip, etc. Bend them open so only one loop of clip goes over plant and the rest will go deep in the flower pot. I love plants and flowers inside and outside. You can root some outside things by pulling a branch to the ground and laying a brick on it. Kinda the same technique.

[@Classychickblog]

Yes 🙌 I never really had house-plants, Dec-2020 After my daddy passed away I brought a lucky bamboo 🎍 surprisingly it's still living I have had some bad times with. They was a lot of times I thought it was dying. I did everything I could finally it gotten better and bigger. I have now gotten few other plants. I'm glad i found this channel few months ago. He has helped me learn so much more

[@camrouxbg]

I came to this video after watching a more recent one of yours, and it's funny to see that you've now debunked the rotating and annual repotting points. I'm starting out and have been developing a sense about my plants. I have a few adjustments I need to do now after watching some of your videos, but I really thank you for all of this information. Even when you later debunk or correct yourself, I love it, because it shows you are learning and growing, and that you are open to different ideas from what you've been previously taught. Great job!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Exactly we’re all learning 😁. Thanks for watching 😁

[@Skeptimystic]

I began saving water from steaming/simmering spring vegetables like spinach or asparagus, letting the water cool, and watering my sad ferns with it. They were sulking due to poor care previous to coming to me, and have responded with massive growth. Thank you for this tip which you shared either here or in another of your many videos!

Get it built and patented!

integrated with automatic watering and a moisture sensor, this could be done with a little bit of electronics and an arduino ;)

Yes I agree with them- thats a million dollar, possibly even an "in the airplane seatpocket catalogue" idea- you should at least claim that idea w/patent office, and quickly!!

I'm loving the channel, learning so much, thank you!

But I'm watching them all, so will keep up with the latest thinking 😊. Great content, thank you, I really like your presentation style and humour, and LOVE your dining room plant window!

I probably have to be fair. This vid was a while ago. Rotating is still good apart from climbing plants that look nice facing in one direction

They’re kind of fancy they’re super cool she’s had them for years and they’re perfect for her creepy Crawley vines.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Sounds interesting 🤔

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

@@SheffieldMadePlants I was using talk to text with this lol so it looks a little weird but they’re just these plastic pots she’s had for YEARS built so that you can water from the bottom. She says it makes it really easy to water all her plants. She has an entire bakers rack of these things and last I saw her some of the vines they had to put on the stair banister across the room
