[@natashiabahnhansen6733]

Alocasia Green Shield, the pot really needs to be upsized…dramatically, Claire. ❤ They need a lot if space for their roots in order to grow big and get more leaves.

[@tarantula_girl.]

I apologize in advance if I write a novel but here are some of my thoughts: The begonia, was it recently repotted? They hate change and that could cause that kind of behviour. Also maybe it needs more consistent moisture, a self watering situation, and possibly more light? I have no idea how you're keeping it now, and couldn't see what kind of pot or mix it was in. I have all my begonia in self watering pots with chunky mixes. They'd be dead if I didn't. And a lot of them under very bright grow lights. They love light. The only other thing I thought of was it could be acting like it has flat mites. They grow really good till the population gets large enough then they just stop. They don't die or crash they just stop. The Anthurium Green Shield. Never owned one of these but I'll just tell you what popped in my head. Did you see the size of the pot of the big beautiful one? Sometimes they need space to stretch out. Upsizing the pot might help. IDK. You know I'm a Hoya head so here is what I would do with the linearis. I'd take nice long cuttings of anything that is still green and toss the rest. Just start over. Wait about 2 hours for the ends to dry then soak them in room temp water with any kind of restorative fertilizer you may have. They can soak for several hours and as epiphytes will be able to hydrate a bit and absorb some nutrients that way. Then I would root them in water in one of your cabinets (I'm just thinking about hydration for them.) Once you have 1/2 inch of root (you don't need much with them) I'd pot them in a no drainage self watering situation. That is how I keep linearis and she's consistently growing and I always keep some water in the resevoir. Linearis comes from a part of the world where it rains every day and they hang down from trees so they absolutely LOVE humidity, and consistent moisture. Make the chunkiest, airiest mix you can and put her in self watering or no drainage. You can even prop her in that. Actually that might be better than water. Yeah hoya always do best when rooted in the mix they will be living in, and a nice humid spot in your cabinet while she roots. It doesn't have to be too bright or too warm, just enough to grow some roots. She should bounce back for you in a few weeks. Then, she'll love it if you spray her regularly. Probably the only plant I'd recommend spraying, but linearis loves it. I just found flat mites on a buch of my hoya and so that's on my brain right now. But being microscopic, it might be worth it to get one of those little microscopes that you can use with your phone and check. Or just treat the ones that are acting wierd with sulphur. Plants like sulphur so it won't hurt to try and it's easy to spray on. Ugh I tried really hard to not write a novel. Much love from Canada.

[@txblondie924]

Your novel has some great advice. Thank you!

[@amberfrazier575]

I’ve had spider mite like damage on my plants. No webs no visible pests. I wonder if it’s flat mites!!!!! Do you treat them the same as any pest. I feel like the systemics barely works.

[@tarantula_girl.]

@amberfrazier575 Nooo most pesticides don't work on them. You need a very specific type of systemic for them that I can't get in Canada. Don't even know what it's called. However, mix 2 tbsp of sulphur dust (has to be powder form) into a one litre spray bottle and drench every inch of your plant. Then just put it back on the shelf. It stinks. It's messy. You need gloves and a mask cause it'll irritate your skin. But the plants love it. A lot of house plants are sulfur deficient anyways. Gotta leave it on for 2 months to get the whole lifecycle. It's pain in the a** but it works. Most people notice their plants putting out new growth and even flowering within a month of treatment. You may want to reapply at the one month mark but just see how much is still left on the plant. It may not be necessary. Mixing with sulfur with oils, (neem oil etc) will burn the leaves so be sure the plants have nothing else on them before you start spraying. Good luck!

[@katydid853]

I have over 100 plants and just dealt with a big mealy bug issue on many of my hoyas, so I feel your struggle! I find that it’s easier to just pour my isopropyl alcohol into a spray bottle and lightly spray down the plant over the sink. I just don’t have the patience to use a q-tip. I also thoroughly cleaned the area the plants were sitting, isolated the plants, and spray them down as needed periodically. I also started using silica on all of my plants with every watering and they seem to be doing great now! I will still find a mealy or two, but totally manageable.

[@wyldhouseplants]

I put my Hoya Linearis into semi-hydro and it's the happiest it's ever been (mine was also drying up and dying off) 💚

[@ttschrock7126]

Did your Linearis reject the semi hydro for awhile? Did you by chance put it straight into SH from water or ? I have one in Aroid Mix, a good mix, but it isn't doing too well because it was shipped to me wet peat. I want to move it into SH, but I am afraid all the changes are freaking it out. :-) Thanks for your input. I REALLY want it in PON.

[@wyldhouseplants]

Hi Claire!! Another excellent video. I wanted to add my two cents to your Planty debacles. Funny, the euphorbia white ghost I just filmed as part of my top 10 easiest plants. Mine has been a dream, it actually appreciates more water than I thought it would like. Maybe move it to the brightest spot of your house and then water it weekly. My best guess. I wish you all the best. Sending love from FL!

[@sophduncshep7725]

I am so desperate for a variegated rhaphidophora! Totally understand the fresh eyes point you made, I’ve come back to one or two kinds of plant a year or so after unaliving one and found it much better and been way happier! 😂

[@derekschwabe2966]

I hear you on the space issue with crawlers! I have learned to embrace the chop especially when it comes to my crawlers and just chop them up into smaller 1-2 leaf pieces when they get too long. Then I’ll rearrange several of those smaller bits into one (usually round…don’t love trough planters) pot to give them a full, bushier look and give away/sell any leftovers. If I position the cuttings right, I usually have months and maybe even up to a year before they reach the end of the pot again. Hope that’s helpful and thanks for this video!

[@MelBlager]

My understanding of antherium is that some need lower light, and many need much heavier fertilization/feeding than other plants. Both reasons can cause chlorotic leaves. I watch You Don't Even Grow Here (Alice) for antherium care

[@doreenkkurthmeyers2375]

[@ionaday3340]

Hi Claire sorry you've a few plants that are being difficult, here's my ideas. Anthurium : most benefit from the addition of calmag, a lack of this can cause that yellowing. I highly recommend trying nurturesystem power grow 1 it has additional calmag along with lots of other goodness Anthurium love! Green shield : I'd be willing to bet those full pots you've seen have multiple plants in. I've also found that mine actually prefers a low light spot. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Hoya : mine has thrived in semi-hydro. I had all the issues you spoke about, since moving to SH it's grown to over 6ft long and has flowered. And in regards to the dean, I have a plowmanii I just couldn't part with but I'm limiting myself for now to 3 leaves (as their big) then sharing the rest. I gave the rest away at the Hull plant swap😊. I decide a smaller plant was better then no plant. Hope they all turn around for you soon 🌿

[@cooperchloe]

Claire!! I just recently had a bout of fungal issues on my begonias and it’s looks exactly like what’s happening to your hirtella, definitely treat it with a fungicide- I used Physan 20 but it’s crazy strong and kind of a last resort- and make sure it has tons of airflow as begonias have a tendency to get super mildew-y 😖 I hope this helps!!!

[@alkemistes]

coincidentally I was researching about this today, because my cracklin rosie begonia has this yellowing on one of the leaves. I couldn't find much info online beside some scientific articles talking about this bacterium called xanthomonas that is common in begonias. I am going to try a fungicide as well, so it's nice to know that you said fungicide worked for you :) The article was mentioning something about copper based solutions, but I was a bit lost at that point tbh.

[@cooperchloe]

@@alkemistesthere are copper based fungicides that are sold in garden centers in the US if you’re also here! Definitely cut back any leaves that look questionable and make sure that you’re not over head watering too much and that the air isn’t stagnant!! Good luck!

[@alkemistes]

@@cooperchloe thank you very very much for the extra info. I read that thing about the overhead watering. I am in the Amsterdam, but I am sure I will find sthng in my local garden centre.

[@tumblina7876]

UV light is greatly reduces when it travels through glass. Some high light plants need unfiltered lights or stronger grow lights.

[@ingrida1121]

First anthurium looks like its having spidermite damage, but i could be wrong. The most success with all of my anthuriums I have is in lechusa pon semi hydro set up, with moss pole. I have a cotton yarn going from the water reservoir in to the pot with pon, and connecting to the moss pole touching the moss, and on top of the pon I have another layer of moss. They go absolutely crazy in this set up, even the difficult ones. You could give it a try. Also check the species natural elevation, anthuriums that grow in higher elevation prefer colder temperatures.

[@DopeyIan88]

Hi Claire. I think your struggles with the drymonia might have been with my bad advice when I sent it. I genuinely thought I kept it well watered in moss at all times and after looking at what I've actually been doing with it lately, I've been letting it dry out completely between waterings (in moss). For some reason I thought I'd been keeping it well watered. I'll send you new pics of mine and if you would like any more cuttings of it, let me know as mine is getting rather big.

[@gypsylee333]

Do you have keiki paste? Try throwing a gob on the white section of the euphorbia, maybe it will start a new white branch. That paste has worked on some of my cactus like almost instantly, just make it a thin layer and point that part away from the light. But you have to put it on a node, so also put the paste on that 3rd edge without a branch, near the thorns ya know?

[@natashiabahnhansen6733]

Good idea😊

[@karalinart]

Some plants are very sensitive to minirals in water or treated (usualy chlorine) water, and the build-up overtime can bring a plant down. Might be worth trying distilled water for your anthirium and begonia

[@natashiabahnhansen6733]

This is mostly a problem in USA where they put chlorine in the drinking water. It is not so much a problem in Europe.

[@txblondie924]

My Alocasia Maharani has never had more than three leaves. I don't even get excited anymore when I see leaf #4 because I know one of the other leaves will be dead or falling off when it opens. 😂

[@7sins_of_life]

The anthurium metallicum likes it quite cold, maybe that's the issue? It's found in the Andean Mountain Range in cloud forests, so it doesn't necessarily like typical tropical conditions. And it is an epiphyte/ subshrub like most anthurium ^^

[@vickiswanton5489]

I wonder if with your Begonias it is a fungal issue. Perhaps removing affected leaves and treating with a fungicide - natural or not - will help? Your anthuriums - I'd definitely consider semi-hydro for them - a chunky pon or leca. You can control nutrients much more easily that way, and also add in some root nutrient as well. Your Alocasia - again, I think semi hydro in chunky leca/pon. Put in a larger pot than you think you need. When repotting - remove all corms. Your scindapsus - it really is because it wants to grow up, not trail. But, you can improve by cutting all shoots at the second node from the soil. The ones on social media have likely been planted with lots of cuttings in one pot too. Also, consider a foliar spray feed. Lastly, check PH and see how that meets with the plants requirements. You might do this already, but I don't hear you mention it usually. Oh - and the euphorbia - try a more sandy/gritty substrate. It doesn't need much in the way of nutrients either. I'd do half of what you are doing, nutrient-wise.

[@hedgewitch59]

You've save me typing that out. 😅 Completely agree.

[@mariea5671]

Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@lilakat3]

I don't have the same scindapsus as you and mine gets pretty good light, so take this with a grain of salt, but both of mine curl their leaves like that and just grow runners if I let them get too dry. I initially treated mine like my pothos/philos and that was a mistake, I had to cut off so many bare vines 😅 Since I stopped letting it dry out though it hasn't put out a single runner!

[@EuroTravChannel]

I pin any runners in circles on top of my potting soil.

[@susanwilkinson867]

We’re coming to the end of the growing season for cacti and succulents so I’d leave that E. lactea alone until next April, any attempt you make to lop of the top or side arms and root will potentially be delayed anyway and could result in the cuttings rotting over winter

[@Ambersoto90]

I am growing the scindapsus platinum, which is near identical to the silver hero. Mine is smaller and younger than your, BUT grows really well under a growth light. I think you're spot on that it's a lighting issue. Mine is in Lechuza pon and it's been happy always.

[@Christian.Laurent]

Your plants likely have a mineral deficiency. Highly barky substrates will leech minerals from the soil, which is mostly what you are using. Begonias like to be half dry before watering, assuming disease is not the issue. This is also worsened by the potential mineral issue. Find ways to supplement the loss of minerals, even checking PH levels.

[@Blinki_plants]

About your begonia hirtella - that's how thrips manifest on cane begonias and the larvae tend to "hug" the nerves very tightly, so it's really hard to notice them except of visual leaf damage.

[@tim_meister]

Right now, I am struggling with a lot of my BIG philodendrons on moss poles. They are yellowing in the new growth and the old growth and growing smaller. Also for some reason a lot of the leaves are like facing the ground and not towards the light. Its not like they are dried out and drooping its like they are firmly facing the ground. They are getting good light, they have good airflow, the humidity is between 50 and 75, temps are from 23 (73) to 27 (80). I think maybe the issue is fertilizer, either too much or too little. I think maybe too little, I have never fertilized above half and even less for moss poles. But they tend to get worse once they get to be like 5ft tall. But it might also be nutrient lockout maybe. Or a ph imbalance in the substrate.

[@amberfrazier575]

On the eurhorbia ; I would snap the new growth off at the base of the growth point so you can get a new growth point. Take your snapped bits and let them callous and put in soil… don’t let them go to waste. I’d put the philodendron On a high shelf. Like above the television? Don’t forget the grow light can bleach the leaf on the plant yellow.

[@JayJayInDaZone]

My Begonia sit in substrat without soil (Vulkatec Premium Cacti Substrat). I guess you would call it semi hydro. The Corallina loves it. I mixed a bit more Seramis into it. The Maculata lost all leafes when I replanted it. She now, after more than 15 months, grows back more leafes and starts loving the Vulkatec I hope.

Hey Claire totally get the struggle with the Scindapsus...I'm having a similar (or rather worse) struggle with my Black Dove Scindapsus (aka Dark Form). It just doesn't want to grow and I'm down to water propagating the 2 leaves I managed to salvage. i've have it now for at least 2 years and nothing 😓😩 Hope your Silver Hero perks up for you. I'm nearly giving up on mine but will wait until growing season is over ( we are in spring now here in Sydney) and see how it goes. As for your Anthuriums, I do hope they spring back...mine are doing well in my north (your south) facing window screened by a sheer curtain and a humidifier near by. I also have them in self watering pots in pon/LECA so maybe that might be a consideration 🤔 All the best with them 🐶

[@EuroTravChannel]

I know what you are talking about. It is scindapsus treubii dark form. I love it. My first try failed. This is my second try. This summer, it grows 1 new leaf. They are slow grower. The new leaf is perfect, dark and beautiful. I am very satisfied. They prefer hot temperature to grow. They like bright indirect light. Allegedly they grow fast if the temperature is above 30 C. I grow them in a small transparent bag. They fear over watering. I grow them in moss and only water when moss is dry. They are still in a transparent coffee cup at this time.

Something I've been doing with all of my plants especially the ones that don't like too much water is putting a drainage layer of quarter inch to 3/8 lava rock that way I can generally water them and all the excess pours out the bottom sometimes I even use a closed vase and just pour out the excess later

[@verrettjared]

The lava rock layer always seems to air prune the roots encouraging more root growth or encouraging root growth nonetheless.

[@orchidquest]

We grow begonias outdoors in South Texas, but not this type, so grain of salt: They tend to go leggy in the fall, browning, dying off in the winter, and if you're lucky, they come back in the spring. I mention this because your lighting changes *drastically* more than in Texas, and begonias notice. It may even notice under a grow light deep in your house and fairly far from the window. Extra lighting for the winter after a chop back may help.

[@Wanderlust2602]

Having seen some of your recent Anthurium repots, I am thinking that perhaps you may have used too little soil/worm castings for this particular one. I think potting up the one in moss is a great idea 👍

[@ceciliahess1102]

Love the video! I think the issue with the euphorbia has to do with its very sectoral variegation… so the same thing that makes it so beautiful will make it hard to get consistent coloration in future growth. Think of the sectoral variegation on a vining plant… you may get all green or ghost leaves. Bottom line: The variegation of the euphorbia will depend on the areole where the new growth originates. If a green section pushes out a branch, it will be all green. If a white section is where new growth comes from, the new growth will be ghosty. Nick Alexander had a trick for controlling where new growth comes from on a reverted plant. It was on his Hoya Lisa. May want to check that out, as it works!

[@lynnettecook6973]

The begonia (12:00) will die back, especially after it blooms. They usually grow fast in the spring, but it slows then they die back. I have had mind look like they have completely died but they are still alive in the roots. Come spring, it should come back. Well, at least mine did. Best wishes from Missouri (US).

Begonia-water quality finally catching up? You use straight tap water, right? If it has a lot of minerals/chlorine, begonias get ticked off. Just a thought…

Don't chop the euphorbia, it has gone dormant for any reason, give it another year.

[@valikpetrov6804]

But not only the light, it also needs about 30-40 degrees Celsius to get going

Please don't cut your white Ghost. Just leave it alone and see what happens. Hang onto it, it might turn out to really surprise you.

Your euphorbia looks like the statue of Liberty 🗽

thanks for the video! seriously, though ... if you did wrap your head around a plant, wouldn't that block the light so that the plant couldn't get any? not to mention the effects on your head. i mean ... i'm not an expert, but ... still.

Why couldn't you turn a crawler into a climber?

I commented a few times before and I guess I was on your nerves. I'm Chinese and not White. I make absolutely no money from my videos, and I have no, zero, nada business. I don't sell anything. I'm here really because I'm a hobbyist. I'm not even interested in you. I'm only interested in your talking about plants and your plants. I agree that some anthuriums can be tricky. I have them lush for a few years. Then they decline. If I changed soil and pot, I think that was the cause. If I did not change pot, I think that was the cause. LOL! For alocasias, have another pot below your pot. Let the roots grow into the lower pot. Let there be sitting water in the lower pot and keep the upper pot on the dry side. This worked for me. They grow a lot of leaves. This is also so much easier to manage. If a large plant is always in your way, you might hang it on the celling. For the rest of the plants, my solution is: move them outdoors in spring, summer and fall. For those love shade, keep them in shade, like under a deck. For those love sun, slowly adjust them to full sun. My White ghost is adjusted to full sun. Then it is sitting in shallow water, standing in full sun. In that set up, it grows very fast and fat for me.
