Hey, this is Anna from Poland. I was literally dying laughing at your reaction 🤣 Now I can peacefully go back to watching the others 😂 The number of photos was a loophole, good thing the restrictions were only on the video 😎 Don't learn from your mistakes, because in the next part I'll only manage to say “hi” 😆 The invitation to Spain is open, take AJ with you, we will blow the system 🚀 P.S I mentioned that Queen Anthurium is suffering. Now there is one last leaf left. Evidently it takes the competition badly and two queens in the same house is just too much 😂😂 Greetings to all the wonderful gardeners-collectors here💚

[@sydneyplantguy]

haha Anna!! LOVED your submission! Nothing better than a good sense of humour & some laughter :) I'll take you up on that invite hehe :D

[@tim_meister]

Hi Jan, thanks for showing my part! And thanks for the compliments, I have really tried to put in the effort and it has definitely paid off. The one that you liked was indeed the serpens x verrucosum / titanium. That is about one year of growth and has grown bigger than a lot of my other plants in that time. Edit: also the black one that you liked is Philodendron Black Majesty

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks for submitting Tim! Very impressive collection !! Oh yay! I have the titianium! Can't wait to watch it grow up :)

[@jessicabellone913]

I love how you really work to interact with your subscribers/followers Jan ❤ I agree, it makes it a more enjoyable experience for all of us! Thank you for all of your hard work and sharing your knowledge with us 😊

[@sydneyplantguy]

thank you :) these videos take a whole lot of time to create but are so worth it !!! :) Glad you enjoy them

[@plantwithroos]

Awww yay! Thanks for having me and the advice - that's really helpful! The glorious lives in my west facing bathroom window and majestic lives in the south facing window at the front of the house. I'll be patient 🙄😅❤️❤️❤️😊

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks for your submission :) Hope they'll grow big & fast & strong for you :)

[@eleftheriakarellou]

Hello from Greece! Thanks for including my video and for all the advice. I need to seriously consider what you said as my plants are growing bigger really fast. Although those bio-based poles look great and come with connectors for extension, they do lack the propagation benefit. Thank you again for the eye-opening observation 🙏 all the best to you, your plants and Bradley 💚🌿

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks for submitting :) I mean, you can always propagate after the cut & so on :) not a big issue, you're just losing some progress :) as long as it's fun & brings you joy, there's nothing wrong here :)

[@ClaireSiconolfi]

I am such a fan of well grown pothos. Such a ‘basic’ plant, they can be so stunning.

[@sydneyplantguy]

💯

[@kyliejones5739]

It’s midnight here in California and I just had to hop on and watch your video!! Thank you so much for answering my questions and giving your expert advice! ☀️🌱

[@score6057]

lol same 🌱

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hope it's worth it hehe :)

[@SarahFluffyErica]

I should really submit some pictures / videos of my plant room! I live in Northern Canada (I'm talking a few weeks of -40°C/F every year) and I keep hundreds of tropical plants. You inspired me to get into moss poles and share / teach the planty people in my community about them. It's definitely harder to keep plants up here - in the middle of winter, we get down to ~5-6 hours of light per day, but my goal is to inspire people living in the north. You absolutely can get into plants and have them thrive up here too 💚 Sometimes you need a little jungle to help get you through the winter 😂

[@sydneyplantguy]

That is so nice to hear!! Would love to see it :) I'll ask for more submissions again eventually (I've done a bunch of these lately so want to keep it interesting and wait a little) but yes, it would be super inspiring for others in colder climates to see :)

[@painterlynne]

I was excited to see you react to my little collection, Jan! That was very fun for me. Thank you for the encouragement and the compliments. Just got two melanocrysum from poor Orange Lake Nursery in Florida- they were hit by a freak tornado caused by Hurricane Milton and lost everything. 😢I’m going to get them on a pole and hope to live to see the huge leaves lol 💚Lynne

[@sydneyplantguy]

terrible what's happening down in Florida atm :/ so devestating !! Happy growing :)

[@hanstera_deliciosa]

Roos!!! Coooool. The fact that you are humbled (as I’m sure they are!). Y’all are both the bees knees. 🐝 🤗

[@sydneyplantguy]

Such a bright light in our community :) we love Roos !!

[@evelynmartinez2475]

Hi Jan and Brad!! This is Evelyn. Thank you so much for showing my plants. Yayyy, it was awesome!!I was so happy with your reaction. I love my pothos. I hope to see you grow them too. I use neem oil on my plants, that's why they are so shiny😆. I would love to show them to you again in the future. A lil update perhaps😉.(maybe the start of another series on your channel😁) Again, I just want to thank you. I continue to learn more and more from your channel and always excited for your videos. Love you and Brettles!!! Aaaahhh, I'm so happy right now!!😁😁😁

[@sydneyplantguy]

Hi Evelyn :) thanks for sending them through !! Yes, let's make an update series !! That would be cool :) Thanks for your support & happy growing :)

[@wanderotter4667]

My florida beauty is getting so big after putting it on a moss pole and supplementingit with and additional grow light along the natural light it gets. I always use a combination of natural light with a grow light.

[@LavenderDaisies]

I have mixed Green and Red Oxalis and they are Beautiful. I keep them in Planters on my front porch. I get some many compliments from them! The Porch is North Facing and they just flourish during the summers here in Northern Utah. We take them in when the nights start to get cold. I’ve had them for 4-5 years . Once I finally learned the go dormant and aren’t just dead! These 2 never go quite dormant. They definitely are not as full as normal , but a little nutrition and a little water keeps them happy and blooming most of the year. They are one of my favorite plants! Thanks for this great tour and everyone’s amazing plant!

[@rebekahpicard9562]

Hi Sydney plant guy! New plant mom here from Boston, USA! Love watching your videos as I learn to care for my own collection ❤

[@sydneyplantguy]

Yay! Thank you! Happy growing :)

[@Jen-fl6ux]

I love you secondhand interaction 💚 thank you for being such an inspiration 💚

[@AvaDeFreitasLee9733]

Jan your voice truly is so calming and soothing! Love the longer videos 🙃 Hello to you and Braddles from NJ 💚

[@DasKaddelchen]

Another fun video 😀 I love to see all the amazing collections and setups of other plant enthusiasts and listen to your often very funny comments 😂🌿🌱

[@sydneyplantguy]

haha I sure will never run out of things to say haha :D

[@ericaeschenbacher4921]

💚 Lengthy but so much fun seeing everyone's submissions. Anna from Poland/ Spain? needs her own KZbin channel. I would subscribe, she's a character 😹 Thanks again Jan for putting this together and sharing your FOMO reactions along with encouraging advice.😻

[@luna-vlog]

How sweet was that, you made my day! 😂💚

[@rareplaid]

I loved seeing everyone’s collection! Thanks for putting it all together, Jan . Maybe I need a Paraiso Verde 😂 💚🌲🌵🌴🪴😂

[@abaileya]

RichRach have probably already replied, but lanai = deck (it is the name of an island also, but in this context it means deck/porch/veranda). Kia ora from Wellington, where good substrates are easy to come by but good weather is not LOL 🍃

[@mentalmumma7128]

We love you Jan 💚 thanks for sharing on behalf of others! my collection/addiction is pittiful compared to all of these submissions. 🌿💚

[@robynfisher4455]

So jealous of all of these beautiful collections, but great to see you enjoying all the positive feedback 💚💚🪴🌿🍃🌱

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks Robyn :) appreciate your support as always :)

[@aplantprocess]

Loved when you said these look so nice because you’re growing them nicely 💚

[@hanstera_deliciosa]

My fuzzy petiole did this too! I cut the lower leaves and it wasn’t an issue moving forward. It was a watering issue (over/under watering) for me. 🤗

[@RubyLyzard]

💚I learned the word "Lanai" from watching the Golden Girls 😂 this video was so much fun!! 💚

[@sydneyplantguy]

OMG since this video the word has been popping up EVERYWHERE :D like how was I unaware of it existing and now I've heard it 4 times in a month ...

[@sylviagutierrez7676]

This is great,so many great 🌿 people out there!!✨ 💚🌿🌵🍀💚

[@clarewhite3004]

🌱 but I was cleaning most of the time! I sent you pics of my three climbers this morning before I actually knew you did this. I don't have a jungle yet though, just a nice green vibe in my living room!

[@sydneyplantguy]

Happy to provide you company while cleaning hehe :)

[@eirvinne6087]

i totally love your accent Jan!:D and love this type of videos :}

[@southofthesticks]

💚🌿🦎 l love seeing everyone's plants. l also like seeing how everyone displays them, especially when they've been displayed differently. Maybe one day I'll get my butt in gear and send you a video. One minute is a tuff call. 👍💜💚💜🐨🇦🇺

[@sydneyplantguy]

Looking forward to your submission :)

[@Justindouglaspeterso]

Thanks for another fantastic video! I just wanted to comment on your dialogue about Alocasias. I use your chucky mix recipe on my 24 alocasias and they absolutely love it. My two keys to success have been 1. very consistent high humidity, the room there in is stablized at 80% year round. 2. I used a high-quality hydroponic fertilizer used for growing Marijuana with every watering. This is a game changer. Alocasias are very very heavy feeders and require alot of nutrients to hold on to all their growth. With those two things, I even get away with letting them run dry and they dont get fussy. My zebrina went from a baby starter to 24in leaves in one year and regal shield has some 30in leaves. Also, as a bonus tip, about 70% of alocasia species can be acclimated over time to full sun indoors and will grow much quick and bigger in those light conditions. I hope I can submit my collection for your next video to share them with you. Cheers from Colorado USA

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks for the tips :) I will try again hehe :)

[@CarolineZephir]

🍀☘️🌿enjoyed every moment of this with you. I am in mauritius, and jewel alocasias hate me. So, hopefully, we can take notes with your journey.

[@sydneyplantguy]

I'm determined to try again :D just need a bit of time to cook some pudding :)

[@virginib1028]

I really enjoy this vidéos ❤ so i need an amazon sunset in my life now !!! 😊 This series of vidéos allows me to discover plants i never seen elsewhere 🎉

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks :) I know!! Amazon sunset is so nice !!

[@Elvylthiel]

Hey Jan, thanks for the video. The plant at 2:05:57 is a Musa Florida banana tree. I've been looking for one for a few years now but the price in Europe was really too high. €60 for a very small TC and +100 for a 15-20 cm one. The prices have finally been halved but I'll wait until next spring to buy it. Looking forward to seeing you in a future video

[@AnnisGarden]

Wow, these collections today are just STUNNING! 😃 Btw, I would love to see you taking pottery classes... it is a great hobby besides plant care 😉

[@sydneyplantguy]

Aren't they !!! That would be so fun :)

[@momokdeathCore666]

🍉🍉🍉 Hi Jan! I'm Fizzy from Singapore. I've sent some photos too, maybe it got lost somewhere :) My vid starts at 27:40 ish. Have been following up and learning from your videos about plants. I wanted to share with you that i did a DIY coco coir pole using an 8 inches PVC pipe as it's base and wrapped the coco coir fibre all around it. Mimicking a tree bark. It's specially for my Philodendron Paraiso Verde. I have 2 of them together in one massive square cement pot. I'm using soilless mix which are chunky aroids mixes consists of pine barks, pumice, charcoal and big size perlite. Now my babies are thriving well with humidifier on for about 8 hours everyday and liquid fertilizing every 2 weeks once. I think it's gonna flower soon! For the lights im using 24V and 32V full spectrum Sansi grow lights. It's abit pricey but it's super worth it! I'm gonna start moss poles for all of my other climbers such as my epineurium pinnatum variegata and pothos. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge. Now I'm ready to DIY my own moss poles!

[@ObsessiveCompulsiveClown]

💚 I really enjoy these videos, Jan. I'll have to submit one soon

[@sydneyplantguy]

looking forward to it :)

[@christiannn94]

"you have made a little army of moss poles huh?" lmao

[@juliagaylard4186]

I love these videos! So inspiring (and bad for my bank account😂)

[@Miazowa]

I am proud to say that I made it to the end. 💚

[@sydneyplantguy]

Thanks for the support :)

[@DannyTaylormade]

💚 On the same page as you about Alocasias. Love them, but don’t flourish in my environment. Might try semi hydro, but😬😬. So many lovely collections for sure.

[@sydneyplantguy]

Glad I'm not the only one hehe :)

[@hershyisses]

💚Love your videos! Thank you!

[@kimsplants]

Love the long content! Did you get any Alocasia and/or Philodendron Paraiso verde yet? 🤭💚🌱

[@sydneyplantguy]

Well, I have plenty of Alocasias that need rescuing :D no paraiso verde yet :P

[@deborahleroy6321]

This was so inspiring 🌱🌱🌱🪴🪴🪴

[@zainajenkins]

With SILICA, you want to add it to your water first then wait 15+ minutes before adding other nutrients or something will happen where it makes all nutrients unavailable (I don’t remember the exact process). Unfortunately, some of the bottles I’ve purchased don’t explain this while others do 🙃

[@sydneyplantguy]

Good tip! The one I have said to wait but I haven't actually used it yet :)

[@AnnisGarden]

1:26:05: just my 2 cents on Alocasias: my experience with semi hydro was dissappointing... watched a lot of experienced growers before, to make sure I do everything right in transitioning, but all of my Alocasias turned to mush 😢 I had a hard time recovering some of them from the smallest stem bits and corms I could save. Still not sure, what went wrong... maybe I used the wrong fertilizer 🤔 can someone confirm? Now I have all of them back in a fine, moist aroid mix and they seem to like it... never change a running system I guess 😅 Fingers crossed, that they keep on thriving through German autumn and winter! It would be very interesting to watch you doing some experimenting with different growing mediums ❤

[@Kate.g.]

I try Silica 😅 you have studies about this, but on some plant this can be not effective 🤷‍♀️ I try, I see no difference on my variegated plants. You need to adjust the pH at 6 to made the product effective and this add potassium to the plants. I use distilled water, the lower dosage of GT Silica and lower dosage of GT Foliage focus and the result after 3-4 month is terrible 😅 This destroye many leaves on 3 calathea 🫠 exces of salt, big brown/grey part, on one plant this made holes on the leaves 😓 GT Foliage focus at 3ml and summer at 5ml by liter NEVER burn the leaves of any plants. I am not convinced by the Silica 😆 my variegated plant have better result with a lot of light. Very nice video 💛🇨🇦 I live this like of video!

Very hard to say. could be due to conditions, pests, viral or bacterial infections, too much water, root rot or just age. Sorry can't help here without knowing more

[@LyndaMargaret]

[@amy-n3h]

7:04 chlorosis and brown scorching of the leaf margins in older leaves is a sign of potassium deficiency

[@Emenord]

1: Remember the type of windows decide how light from the sun acts. 2: Your placement on the literal earth decides how much light you get. 3: The type of plant light decides how much light they get. Your indoor climate also decides how your plants grow. Rmember: Just because someone is having super luck with plants, might not mean the issue is your humidifier type or whatever, or some other expensive solutions, might actually be your location or house. Literally.
