The first time I came across your channel I binge watched a lot of your videos, turns out I found my new favourite plant KZbinr! Very informative, to the point and entertaining. So happy to have come across your channel, you / your videos have a very pleasant feel-good energy to them

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@anorothart]

Oh my god yes, my nemesis Chinese Money Plant. I can't even count how many problems I had with it. The leaves kept doming and rolling in ugly shapes and I thought I water it not enough and it has not enough sun. They kept falling off and blackening just like you showed too. No direct sunlight and no overwatering and the plant finally stoped looking like a sin. I also put all of them into Seramis instead of soil so i never overwater it again 🤣 I'm glad I'm not the only sinner who struggled. Wishing lots of luck to all Chinese Money Plant parents 💪

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Will you go back?

[@morebirdsandroses]

Mercy! We are sister/brothers in pilea despair. May both our little brats be getting better and better!😂🦋❤

[@anorothart]

@@SheffieldMadePlants Oop sorry didnt see the reply! I am still using seramis and it’s working very well :D Pileas are bouncing back and Monstera Variegata I have is growing like crazy in it

[@pudik2008]

If it gets tall and leggy,I chop it close to the bottom and stick the top into another pot and the baby plants start growing and so does the chopped stem,I do it all the time. Great video as always! 💚🪴👏🏻👏🏻

I heard in another video that soil in the jungle usually is very well draining. I've noticed that parts of my garden where I planted an exotic plant, which got water very often, has become much better draining than it was months earlier when I just planted it. Day and night difference. So I presume the soil in a jungle has this effect to a much greater degree

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Interesting 🤔

[@floor1man]

I don’t have a money plant nor plan to get one, ( the wife is disappointed I don’t have anywhere else to put plants) I just watched because I love your videos.

I'm weeping with relief that my pilea is normal!! I've been trying to get it to feel better for weeks! I think it is happier by the kitchen sink so will move it back, _and_ get it a bigger pot! Thanks for that tip too. Thanks from the bottom of my ❤.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

You’ve got this ✊

[@simonwinnecke4884]

Mr Sheffield made my lunch break yet again with another cool video. 👌🏻I only stumbled over this channel 3 months ago and I love the content and the way you do your videos - not only for the great pieces of advice but also for sense of humor you put in these videos and for the interesting experiments (milking a plant, giving it soy…). I believe I have seen all your videos by now, which probably means that I have heard more of Mr Sheffield than Mrs Sheffield did the last few weeks, considering the amount of content I watched lately 😂 So anyways thanks for your really helpful, interesting and funny videos - keep up the great work. You are an inspiration and you really fostered my interest in plans, the latter of which I got a lot of since watching your videos. One thing I was really wondering about though, could you maybe make a video on self watering pots, in case this is something you consider interesting yourself? I never had a good hand for plants but ever since I started using self watering pots, all my plans started thriving which is why I have all of them in such pots by now. Nice side effect is, I only need to water them every 6 weeks or so - something I always wondered about why some KZbins or plant enthusiasts who have like >200 plants don’t use them spending so much time with watering their pants every week. Greetings from the rainy Aachen, Germany to rainy Sheffield 👍🏻

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Love it thank you! I’ll think about the self watering pots

[@simonwinnecke4884]

I use the ones from Lechuza - (they don’t pay me or anything), a bit expensive but excellent quality. If you need any info on them feel free to lot me know 👍🏻

Hi Simon, welcome to the rapidly growing Sheffield Plant Family 💚 I have the feeling that just like us all, you will need to upgrade to a bigger house soon to provide enough room to all of your beloved plants (and perhaps some of your family members too but that’s only an option). 🏰

[@FGM013]

Perfect timing! I just removed some leaves off of one of my plants. I divided my original plant about six months ago. All but one has put on new growth and are larger than the original plant. The one plant that is struggling gets cool air flow from the ceiling fan directly above and the evap cooler about eight feet away. I’ll move it to a more protected location. I have tabletop hydroponic units among my houseplants. Two of my Chinese money plants are next to those units and are thriving. I’ll move the struggling plant into my hydroponic grow room with the veggies and see how it does.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great stuff 👍

I don't know what I do right. My Chinese Money plant lives on a north-facing window sill on the north Kent coast. I hesitate to tell you that don't have this problem - I can't remember its last rogue leaf. Now I shall enjoy her even more!🌷

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I think you should!

[@TheNetsrac]

Thus far, the small money plant baby I got from my sister a couple of months ago is just growing fast and healthy. There are no yellow leaves (for now anyway)... Maybe it just loves my bathroom window? Anyway I now know what to do when it gets bigger and gets yellowing leaves and/or other issues Thank you 👍🏻

[@diandroidify]

Thank you for this video!!! Perfect timing cuz I’ve been constantly worrying about my Chinese money plant recently since it’s been losing leaves. What should I do if the new leaves at the top are not fully pushing out? Some of them have been stuck in time for months!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Hmm not had that before. Is it in good light and watered well?

[@PettyaAtanasova]

I was really struggling with my Chinese money plant but I've put it on my sunniest window and it's thriving there. Leaves stopped falling, increased in size and even little leaves are growing from the bottom part of the stem where leaves fell from previously. And it loooooooves water. It gets very droopy and sad looking if I leave it to dry. The sun in UK is stronger and warmer now so I'll keep an eye on it for the next few weeks and track how it's doing on that sunny window but yeah the opposite of what you're saying worked out the best for me😂

[@kcgrows]

The reason why plants in tropical areas can get rained on all the time and don’t get root rot and drop leaves is because there is heat and wind that help transpiration. The environment is different from inside a house in a temperate climate-less air circulation, much cooler. I have restarted my pilea pepermoides three times from pups because it becomes a palm tree once it gets to a certain height. Thanks for the tip about lower light, I’m gonna do that!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Spot on 👍

[@nyctilia]

I‘ve found that once a bottom leaf is fairly yellow and I can tell for sure that it’ll go I take a little pull on it (very gently!) and often it just gets off without having to try and cut something :)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Sure 👌

[@d.s.7637]

Mypilea got really leggy and dropped lower leaves for numerous reasons. But with my colection nowI have many plants that dont need checking in on too often. So i prop cut my pilea into smaller terracotta pots and check on them more often. I'd rather check on them more often than over water.

[@zanhq7621]

Hi, I am a virgin when it comes to money plants but fell in love with it so purchased one relatively growing and 2 cuttings. Are they slow growers? I've had them about 3 weeks but the cuttings don't seem to be changing (unrooted in soil) and the toddler potted is yellowing at stems with leaves getting lighter too. When I received it it looked so healthy with thick dark leaves but now leaves have veins appearing and colours not as dark so defo getting lighter

[@rhondablackburn6841]

1- I hate the word “ moist” - lol 2- I just repotted mine in a self watering planter,,, so far she loves it,, 🤞

I have the same moisturemeter and it was the worst Investment. It always said dry. Then i watered. 2 months later my plants were rooted. It does not work. Prefer woodensticks, without display. But i can see if the soil is wet.

[@LillyChristie824]

Hi there, i just bought one and its soil feels super hard and full of roots. I wanted to do something about it but my mum said to leave it said it would be fine. Should i repot it? Can i just trim the roots? I fear it may be rootbound. Its a really big plant with lots of babies but my mum tells me not to touch them either. She doesnt have heaps of plant experience. What do i do?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

A repot is good but you can trim roots too

[@mollytremblay1396]

i always allow my money plant to let its oldest leaf shrivel up until it nearly falls off on its own because i'm afraid that if i remove it too early it will just go on to shedding the next leaf faster 😅

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Wouldn’t surprise me 😅

[@ScrapbookingWithAnn]

The stem on my plant is green, not brown. Only little brown nodes where leaf used to be. It just keeps loosing leaves, but they aren’t yellow or brown, or drooping. Very fragile and fall off. Any ideas???? He was in medium light. I’ve just bought a light for him.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Hard to say without seeing it. I’ve not come across that before. How are the roots?

[@ScrapbookingWithAnn]

@@SheffieldMadePlants he is about 7” tall above the soil and in a clear cup with drainage holes at the moment so I can see the roots. They are fairly tiny, doesn’t look like very many of them. Definitely not showing up much at the bottom of the pot so he is not root bound at all. I don’t think he has root rot. I’ve always let him get in the drier side before watering. I’m afraid of root rot and bugs. Maybe that’s why? Or maybe he is still a baby? All the pictures I see show them with brown stems the entire length of the stem. I looked a bit closer, I have only maybe a half inch of brown right at the bottom.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

@@ScrapbookingWithAnn it’ll get darker as it matures

[@ScrapbookingWithAnn]

@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you.

[@missysnook8167]

So mine is under a grow light how far away should they be from my baby?

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

I aim for about 20cm away but depends on the plant. If they are little babies that I want them to grow on i put the light a bit nearer
