As a scientist just getting into houseplants I have quickly come to love and respect your common sense based approach! So sick of seeing all the ‘rice/banana/coffee water’, ‘diluted milk’ and ‘Mayo’ posts they make me physically cringe 😢 been at this game for 10 months and following your system my plants are absolutely thriving!! Thank you for bringing common sense into the world of houseplants 😅

No one is asking you to watch those videos. So either you are 'scientist' from suggested fertilizer company or u think people who grew plants before chemical fertilizer era were stupid. All those cringey things that u see come from generations of experience and learning. Your first line itself is ego 'as a scientist' because thats what u use to put others down... One shares chemical fertilizer.. and other humbly share their experiences using recipes passed down from grandparents. N u see common sense in what your limited intellect mind understands. All best growing plants with that rude energy

48:30 I still cannot believe that is an Adansonii. I love your videos so much. Sooooo informative and helpful AND inspiring. Thank you! I've never owned a houseplant in my life. I'm 35 and just randomly decided to pick up this hobby, and now I have 12 plants in my bedroom and an IKEA Baggebo on the way haha. When I get in to something I tend to get obsessed and go BIG. I have this "nook" in my bedroom from a south-facing Dormer window so it's the perfect spot to grow plants in. Hope to fill it with some monster-sized aroids like yours. :) I also live on a farm with a lot of land so I see a greenhouse in my future! :D

Jan... The cutest Brad!!... I'm always tempted by his adorable behavior😊... It's okay...long enough duration, visiting your apartement, still feeling motivated by some things. First, every creature needs to drink. You give me good examples so I can understand each plant when watering it. Cool!.. Second, looking out your kitchen window, I can see the vast expanse of the atmosphere. Being tired after being very busy in the kitchen...you look out the window then walking inside enjoying the beautiful plants...while drinking a cup of warm sweet tea. Fun!!... I'm learning so much, writing the names of the plants. Jan...Thank you so much.. I'm proud of you...👍🥰💚😊

I used to freak out too but after my most recent outbreak: thrips I've got a better system. I've been washing the leaves with just water and using a fine mister of water a drop of dish soap and neem oil about once every couple weeks. More for new plants. I also wash and repot most new plants immediately to reduce chance of bringing new pests in. Just bought a philo with mealy bugs and no sign of them after a good wash. And the plant the thrips were killing is doing great now (other than being a little crispy around the edges from low humidity)

So… I’ve made numerous moss poles and I’ve repotted numerous plants into see-through pots, using your mix. I’m nervous about watering these plants just right bc I would hate to kill them ! I feel silly writing this but … gravity doesn’t always work when I flip the bottle over into the pole. About half the time it just sits there without emptying the water into the pole. I’m still trying to figure out why it worked at times but not at other times. Anyone else have the same problem?

I use clear plastic pots now per your suggestion and see that water stays for several days trapped. Almost wondering if I should drill additional holes in the sides of pots to get more air circulation especially for my root rot prone plants like Monstera Thai Constellation and Hawaiian pothos. Any suggestions? Do you ever use any Hydroperoxine or aquarium bubbler stones with water propagation?

@sydneyplantguy 10 ай бұрын
I have tried fome h2o2 in my water while propagating and seems to work well :) Personally, I don't find the need to put further holes in the pot as my mix is very chunky but you can never have enough aeration in my opinion (as long as you are willing to water more frequently) :)

Hey man ive been a long time follower and fan of your page i have about 8 moss poles in my home now that were inspired by your videos, my adansonii is over 8 feet tall and all my plants love climbing and rooting to their poles, the challenege ive had letely is my poles drying out extremely quick but the growing medium in the pot staying moist. How do you keep your poles moist without overwatering the soil because when i use an upside down water bottle it will often run through the moss too quickly and into the soil

This was awesome! I use the same general approach for moss poles. My only issue is I find that if I want the pole to be properly moist, there is almost always water that collects in the cover pots and it gets gross and causes rot on the roots reach down into it (if I don't take the water out every time with a syringe, which is a hassle because the plants are so heavy). Do you ever empty that water or you find it just doesn't get gross?

Great video as always thanks Jan 🙂. How many moss poles have you actually got? You might need to get rid of that pesky ceiling soon 🤔 Balcony plants look great despite wind and sun and being the not so loved. Kisses to Brad 😘🐈. Do you let him out onto balcony or would he try to climb?

What did you mean when you said you use Foliage Focuse "weekly, weekly" Is that every week or once every 2 weeks? Big fan my man, made my first moss pole this week with exactly what you suggest from Bunnings, keep up the wonderful work!

@@sydneyplantguy Thanks for the response! I'm currently feeding my Albo 2ml of Foliage Focus and 2ml or Clonex Clone Solution (per litre) to help roots. The plant is mature now with 5 big leaves, so should I switch to only FF or stick to a mix of both FF and CCS? 🙏

Are you using only a lower concentration of fertiliser? 5ml instead of 10? I know you adjust for summer and winter but do you ever use 10ml concentration?

how do you drilll the holes in the caps of your water bottles? safely - top side down or up? what size drill bit? I tired and made them too big and the little bugger kept slipping out of the way

I keep the lid kn the bottle when I drill the holes. I’ve used different size drill bits and they all seem to work, i don’t think you can really go wrong with holes that are around 3-5mms diameter

Rainwater is actually pretty cold, that's how rain water forms in the clouds and that's also how hailstorm happens.

Thank you so much for this video! I've watered my Monstera Deliciosa on a moss pole by the same method (watering the moss pole). I use about 1L of water and the bottom leaves going up the stem have yellowed and died. I wait until the moss pole is dry before I water and don't water the soil. Am I watering too much? Thanks for your time!
@sydneyplantguy
@sydneyplantguy 2 жыл бұрын
Try less water but maybe more often so the pole stays moist but never wet :)

Nice video and very thorough! Is the entire moss pole saturated after watering? Or do you leave the bottom part dry for the water to work its way down into?
@sydneyplantguy
@sydneyplantguy 2 жыл бұрын
An hr after the watering the water should have drained through mositening the full pole. If the bottom is still dry I just pour a little more into the pole :)

Do you know much about Piper ornatum/crocatum? I got mine on discount bc it wasn’t in the best condition. It’s pushing out lots of new growth (even though I’m in the USA) but 2 leaves on it are curled upwards so badly it’s almost formed into a tube. They were like that when I bought it, figured watering issues, but they will not uncurl, even now after months of consistent watering and it’s obviously happy enough to push out new growth. I’m thinking I may just cut em off.
