Starting Houseplants From Seed | The whole 4 month journey!

[@Plantflix]

Oh my goodness I'm overwhelmed!!!! Thank you so much for the shoutout and I'm so happy to see those seeds working out for ya

[@DavidMoralesPlants]

Plant Flix definitely going to buy some seeds 😍😍

[@Plantflix]

@@DavidMoralesPlants Aww thank you!

[@pudgyplanter1130]

@@Plantflix Are you getting more SOH seeds? I couldn't find them on your site. But I do love the selection you have! Thank you for what you do, I commented below already about my terrible luck buying seeds online. And that was just ONE story. I am sorry to sat, it has happened more than once. (sigh) Last year I ordered Pilea Peperomoides and they sent me coffee beans!😂😂😂 I can laugh about it now.

[@Plantflix]

@@pudgyplanter1130 I don't have SOH seeds at the moment, I've been getting lots of requests tho so I'm on the hunt for a grower now and I'll post updates if/when I do find some :) And aww thank you!! I got scammed myself which is what ultimately led me to starting this business so I definitely feel ya there!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

We love you!!!!

[@ruchaluver]

Only 3 mins in - wondering if she figures out that the "inner tray" is actually a humidity dome/top to the whole thing XD

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Omg 😂😂😂😂 NO! I was today years old when I realized that wow

[@roserouthier4814]

You learn something new every day! 💜💙🤷🏼‍♀️😅😘

😆😂 thinking the same 😆😂👍its a mini greenhouse /growhouse 👍

[@keishagaynor7714]

Lol I came to make that exact comment.

[@amyl5118]

I knew this but somehow did not clue in 😆😂

[@MyCleanLeaves]

How cool that the you grew the SOH & Monstera from seed!!! That is so exciting!!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

😍😍😍

[@MsDragonfire1992]

The reason the others didn't come up is because they wernt kept in a propagator with a lid on as the humidity has to be really high aswell as the temprature

[@kabookiearts6199]

What a fun video! I love planting seeds, but mine always seem to dry out and die. When I first moved to the Arizona desert I was so in love with the beautiful red yucca and the orange red bird of paradise that when I was at a store and saw they had them in the parking lot I swiped some of the seed pods. I cut soda bottles in half and inverted the top inside the bottom and put some string from the bottom to the top and made a self watering pot by filling the bottom up with water and it worked perfectly! And I didn't have to buy anything. I would love to see more videos like this, I love little crafty plant videos of things I can try to do too ✌️

[@thehattersmadness1957]

I think if you would have put the clear cover on top you would have saved your humidity and your seeds and plants would have done much better. We have been growing all of our garden plants in the house for years. Starting in February with snow outside, to putting them outside in early June in Pennsylvania. Really satisfying. I do use artificial light and a heat mat.❤️✌🏻🌿🍃🌱

[@tulle7358]

Same her! Starting mostly all my veggies for the garden from seeds but have yet to try houseplants from seeds. The clear cover is important for humidity for the seed in growing media to keep moist 😊 But now you know Becca De La Plant - love your videos ❤️😘

[@lisapettit7334]

Very interesting! I had never considered starting houseplants from seed. I like this type of video where we see the "final" product of a project. I feel like we get left hanging otherwise and don't know whether or not to give something a try since we don't know if it was a success or not. This takes the guesswork out of it and I like that. Thanks for doing this and sharing!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Yes same here!! I love knowing how it all ends.

[@leynaabbey]

Most of my plants came from seed, or propagations. All my vegetables I start from seed. I have fruit trees growing from seed. It's so rewarding to grow plants from seed. *The clear tray is the lid, it helps maintain moister in the top layer of soil.*

[@karrahcrain6713]

Wtf this is awesome. Thank you for your patience in making this video! I think I would have forgotten about filming or given up 😎 I will definitely be ordering some monstera deliciosa seeds this coming spring! This was really cool to watch!

[@ashleecaraveo2831]

Loved the video, idea, and seed shop suggestion for @Plant Flix. I will be going straight to the site from here, so thank you for this video! I just wish more research would have been done in preparation on how to do seed starting indoors and how to use the trays. I start so many of my outside garden plants from seeds and there is definitely a learning curve. If not done correctly, many seeds will not sprout and that is no fault of the seed seller, whom often unfairly get a bad review from unexperienced growers. I made some of the same mistakes in the beginning, so I do not fault Becca at all. I am just glad to see that in the end there was some success even for a beginner.

[@molliborn6252]

I started my monstera, pink polka dot, philodendron hope, and Japanese aralia seeds the same exact day from the same website ❤️ I do not have a grow light so I can see how much much better yours did from that! Great video!!

[@Yesi9693]

I bought my monstera seeds from her shop back when she was jnly on Etsy. Mine are huge now, and I lived growing them. :)

[@Plantflix]

Yayy! I love hearing this, so happy those Monsteras are still doing well :)

[@aimeehodgin6359]

Farmer Becca in da HOUSE!!!!! Good for you!!! Yes, I have grown things from seed, my Tomato plants, Kolrabi, Watermelon, I am growing Cactus from seed, that I literally just planted last week. Great video!! Happy Thursday!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hahaha yesss!! ☺️☺️❤️ good for you!

[@kriskrischi7571]

I loved this project style video. You should totally do more of these! Love the little monstera, how cute!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

[@tasdefeuilles]

I got the philodendron selloum from plantflix and about half of them sprouted, I planted them in soil in a ziploc bag! One of them looks variegated too 😳

[@Plantflix]

Oh my goodness you really lucked out! Send me a picture of the variegated one I'd love to see! I've had some people send me pictures of white Monstera babies but I haven't seen a Philodendron Selloum one yet!

[@SL-pr1lw]

Great project! I’ve had good luck growing lotus and eucalyptus from seeds and both were fun to watch grow.

[@tapster85]

My favourite plant to grow from seed is coleus. You can get the most amazing colours. It is an outdoor shade plant but I have seen a lot of people growing them from seed as indoor plants too.

[@ShookHomemade]

Super interested in houseplant seeds!!! Thanks! I love starting plants from seeds but I’ve never done houseplant seeds.

[@morganmyatt1457]

I planted some clarinervium seeds that i harvested from my mother plant many months ago and have 6 tiny plants! It has been so fun to watch them grow. I was also very surprised to see them pop up and thrive so quickly. I have them in sphagnum moss on a heat mat with a dome. Highly recommend the dome so it keeps them from drying out too quickly.

[@zoeforde]

This is the best video!! I've always been so scared to try seeds but after watching you do it I think I'm ready to try :)

[@JustGeenuh]

Once settled back in the US, I think I will be tackling planting from seed! This is such a great reference video!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That’s great!! ☺️

[@junejones4934]

Great video. I was overwhelmed with gnats in my house when I first starte planting seeds. To avoid that pour boiling hot water in your soil. It will kill the gnat eggs in the soil and prevent them from hatching in your house.

[@sophiebaldwin191]

I see that Monstera grown from seed becoming a family heirloom that can be past down through the generations! Just think how big she will be 20-30 yrs time. She needs a name...

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

SO TRUE!

[@pudgyplanter1130]

Yes! I loved this video and this "type" of video. I love my hobby of plant collecting and it's important to me to learn as much as possible about my plants. This is how we learn! Trying new things. Experimenting. Growing. Reading. Listening. All of it! And I just think it's so much fun too! Thank you for the work you did to make this video fun and educational and thanks for the link. I have had some bad luck buying seeds online. Especially since Covid-19 happened my usual seed purveyors(Baker Creek & Burpees) had closed or sold out so I had to purchase from unknowns online and I when I thought I was buying Yucca, Foxglove, and Hollyhock seeds for my outside garden they in fact sold me a bunch of different types of tomato seeds! Ugh I was pissed! Anyway, another lesson learned. Thanks again sweetie! You are one of my all time favorite PlantTubers! xoxo

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! ☺️ thank you so much! also yes it’s so frustrating to get NOT the seeds you thought you were buying. Plant Flix is the best!

[@graces128]

This video is perfect timing! I was literally just wondering yesterday if starting houseplants from seeds was possible! loved it

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Omg soo much work 😂😱 I was not prepared

[@janinebean4276]

To make plant tags with paper I just used paper and toothpicks, and then attached them together and covered the paper with packing tape :)

This is the coolest I want to try! I started my veggies from seed with mixed results this year but never houseplants!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

You totally should!!

[@lindseydaniel9926]

Talk to me about the clarinervium pollinating!!! Mine just put out an inflorescence and i have no clue what to do!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

I chopped off the inflo when I saw pollen on it & put it in the freezer! That was advice from someone I trust haha so when another inflorescence comes out, I’ll just “thaw” it out and rub them together at the right time and hope for the best lol.

[@lindseydaniel9926]

Becca De La Plants ok! I will have to do that. So you cut it when you could see all the yellow dots on it I’m assuming that’s the pollen? (I sound so clueless, ha!)

[@katherine3389]

my huge spider plant has had seed pods on it for a long time so I finally planted some and one of them just sprouted!! I'm very excited to grow a spider plant from seed, even though it puts out so many baby plants already. Also I loved the video as always!!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Omg that’s SO exciting!!!

Wow Becca! Thank you so much for doing this project. Amazing! Though...I'm still learning how to care for my plants and am barely learning how to propagate well..I'm not sure I'll do well with seeds! I can't wait to get better so I can learn more and try! I would LOVE to see more of your projects!

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Hahaha yes seeds can be a bit stressful!!

[@cricketjem119]

Great video! I bought a rare plant seedlings( Alocasia Frydek and philodendron mamei) with small baby leaves (the smallest ones seem to be yellowing though I give it high humidity (about 50 to 70 per cent) under full spectrum grow lights and water when partially dry; I fertilize only a little). What is wrong with the yellowing leaves? It sprouted a few new leaves for each plant but taking a long time to grow bigger. I bought it a few months ago around September to late October. What is the care for seedlings to ensure they grow with big leaves? I did not grow them from seeds but they were sold as babies with small leaves. Thanks for any tips.

[@dirtydiana49111]

Is there an update on the monstera and string of hearts?

[@lisagrais]

I got a sandwich container, filled it with sphagnum moss, and drosera seeds. I started with 50 seeds and most of them have sprouted. Of course, now I need to figure out what to do with all the plants, lol!!! They are so tiny now, I can't wait till they get bigger.

You mention growing vegetable from seed, hey its super easy getting started with those, just take the seeds from your favorite vegetables and plant them. Well I let mine dry out and my tomatoes are a couple of feet tall now and blooming. Maybe I'll even get some tomatoes. Also planted some green peppers.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Very true!

[@demilacey3974]

where did you buy the seedling tray?

[@dannyboii9117]

I wanna do this someday, def wanna hybridize my xmas cacti and epiphyllums d:🌵❤. Grew a lot of ornamental outside plants from seed and loved it❤. Seed starting is a good way to produce a lot of plants and make money potentially lol. But ofcourse some things germinate and grow faster than others. Also just having many mother plants for cuttings would be good but it's an alternative lol. Or do both 😉😎.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

That would be sooo cool!!!

[@MsDragonfire1992]

Someone else has probably told you but the monstera seeds have to be planted ASAP from receiving them and can't be stored as they die very quickly otherwise.

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

A friend!

[@keishagaynor7714]

I would by the SOH seeds. I like their website. I’ve been trying to find a reputable site and got scammed earlier in the year. Thank you.

[@teyatatze6654]

If you seed something like philodendron /anthurium etc the seeds need to be relativliy fresh for good growing success. But you can also soak them in gibberellic acid. It is a phytohormon which is needed to germinate. Also, it is easier to grow in season in my opinion. Don't now why but even if the plant germinates the juvenil plant often struggles if its not in season. Even though it is a houseplant (my experience)

[@BeccaDeLaPlants]

Oooh those are great tips! Thank you!

[@janinebean4276]
