In this video join me (and Joli) for a super long 2 hour plant chores video! I imported some plants recently and they've not all acclimated as planned, so some major plant rehabilitation is in order. There have been lots of plant to do's recently - repotting, watering, dusting, pruning, propagating, repotting, potting up and soooo much more. My plant chores have been getting on top slightly recently and I've been feeling a bit burnt out and overwhelmed by all my plant care. I talk about plant burnout in this video, and some of the things I do to stay motivated when it comes to caring for my houseplants. Thank you to everyone who asked questions, and I really hope you enjoy the video!

[@lulukan64]

I always love seeing you two being all planty together. ❤

[@mindfulmadeline]

I love no-drainage in glass, it just makes so much sense to me. You can see everything that’s going on, you can monitor the soil/medium for moisture. It’s awesome!!!

[@aub_k2819]

People in the states definitely drink the tap water! Maybe not in every locale. But in every location I've ever lived, we have drunk the tap water 😊💦

[@bethanylaska3734]

I filter mine but yep, the only place I couldn't deal with the tap water was florida... so much sulfur!

[@heatherbocks]

I don’t think you’re lazy Claire, you’re just less of a perfectionist with your plants, and that’s fine. Do what you like

Yay! Two of my faves together again ❤

[@susaneastman4867]

Oh, this Emma. 😊 I watch her also. Lovely ladies!

[@jens_ten6055]

I think Pon is an absolute perfect medium for cacti and succulents. My husband has a huge collection of them and he only uses a mixture of equal parts Expanded Shale, Terface and Pumice and they LOVE IT!

[@elsiejanssens9996]

well finally I get to "meet" Emma! so nice to meet you girl.

[@buttcheeksguy]

21:36 this actually cracked me up looooooooooooooooooooooool

[@beyoutube76]

I always get a smile when I see that there's a vlog with the two of you! (WHAT..... NO WINE!) Emma, I also do the, "water succulents (and ZZ's)" on the 1st of the month no matter what. now for a few short years they seem to tolerate me.

[@beyoutube76]

Oh, is there ever a chance that you can invite Memo as a three some vlog? (I mean only Planty stuff!) I think that would be great to see you three interact!

[@GoodGrowing]

oooh okay that's very good to know!! Hopefully it continues to work for the both of us!!

[@darlenereisterer5653]

I do not drink the tap water in certain States Michigan Yes....😊😋 Georgia NO lol 🤢🤮

[@madstamper64]

Love you guys together, I was smiling through this whole episode. It was quite enjoyable. 🤩

[@ChristyD97]

It's so funny that you posted this because I just bought a bunch of pon and I'm hoping to transfer all of my 100+ Hoyas to semi-hydro. I still haven't decided on making self watering containers or not. We will see and thanks for this video and I know it'll help the whole process.

[@od.vandeveer]

This got me motivated to repot my polly from coarse soil ninja into coarse soil ninja but into a deeper tower pot. It was unstable, now it is potted deeper and more stable and can develop more roots higher up the stem wich now are submerged in the pon

[@user-kl6ti8fr6o]

I love my emotional support water bottle! Haha. I add stickers throughout the year from places I visit. 😂❤

[@musicalmarion]

You 2 are so great together. It must be nice to have a tired out dog after a long walk - mine's ready to go again asap 🐕

[@sierragenessee]

Hi Claire. Philodendron mexicanum is probably my favorite plant in my collection. Maybe I can help you with yours….. When I got mine it came with root rot and I had to make some adjustments to its care right away. They seem to prefer growing on the arid side of tropical. They do like to dry out in between waterings and mixing some playground type of sand and pumice in with an aroid mix will probably be its favorite solution. They sometimes grow on rocks in the wild, so you might be able to convince one to go semi hydro if you kept it on the dry side. All I had to do was pot my seedling in an aroid mix and put it in a very sunny window and it started to produce adolescent leaves very quickly. They are such easygoing plants but in my experience they like hot sun and some dry roots from time to time. I hope you can save that one!

[@sazaragarden]

Thank you for sharing how to move plants into SEMI-HYDRO 🌱

[@bethanylaska3734]

West coast USA person here, and yeah the water bottle culture is real! To the point that it's a weird status symbol what kind you have, it's kind of ridiculous even if it is eco friendly 😂

[@sallyfisher7389]

I would love you and fern to collab I think you would be a match made in planty heaven !

[@regi985]

OMG, I in my brain I changed your intro to ".. I´m Clair and this is Emma *wink wink*" By the way I bought some clear 9cm pots on amazon and they fit perfectly in the storage glass from ikea (korken 0,5l) and the glass lid I use as saucer for little pots. I simply took a pot and tried if it fits in all the cheap glasses they had. I did the same with some tiny pots and all the shot glasses and tee-candle holders. I just think it looks so pretty and makes great and relatively cheap self watering pots. I also took both pots to a second hand shop and tried out some glasses there.

[@vanessabland8813]

So jealous, wish I could come hang out & do plenty things with yall!

[@planttherapy1860]

Great video

[@sherylweston3688]

Love you guys, hope you do more content together, when l wash my pots l soak in Bleach outside clean out with brush then sit in the sun and dry

[@Frogandvine]

I have a real problem with how Gynura looks when it starts to grow too tall so I’ve been chopping and propping and now I have pots upon pots of it 😩 makes great gifts though 🤣 Hoping there’s another plant swap in London next year so I can unload a bunch 🥳

[@daisywrabbit]

according to my research, [plant] neglect is only a venial sin, not a mortal sin

[@dani.p]

I looooove the sulfur treatment ❤ It worked so well with my plants... but I just have like 18-20 plants so is not an "out of control" situation. I guess when you have sooo many plants it's more difficult :B

[@thelioness3305]

OH NAshville TN here!

[@kimmills7707]

Do you 2 live close to each other or are the last fee videos all one trip? I was just thinking, if it’s all one trip, about all the plants you’d be traveling with at once! Love both your channels! 💚🌱💚🌱💚

[@susaneastman4867]

We do drink a lot of reusable water bottles. I refill mine alot. I have well water and an R.O. system just for plants and aquarium.i have stages. 1st my plants get a 2nd chance at the kitchen or laundry room window. After that they get banished to the deck. Lol

[@jamiedelgado1484]

I'm home sick and I feel so bad and cannot get comfortable. This just made me so happy to see this video 🫶

[@melanieg.9092]

Emma on her channel: oh, I can't really be bothered :/ Emma on Claire's channel: Come on do it properly ☝️ 😂😂

[@GoodGrowing]

I am always bothered enough to use clean pots for pon 😉 gotta start on the right foot! but for many other things, you're right, I'm not bothered 😂

[@hwilson8572]

I agree with Emma, start with clean sterile pots, and cache pots. 😮 And does that hoya have enough roots to pot up?

[@102HuevosFritos]

You should dig around you your Alocasias and see if they have gaven you any corms I recently transferred my Alocasia veragated silver dragon into Leca and pulled off some corms hopefully they make it

[@angeemanns5893]

A question I've had is, can you use it with a wick then? I've been hesitant to use pon because I wasn't sure if you could. I have several self watering pots, but they all use a wick. I didn't know if it would have the same effect as it does in soil. (which is what I do now). Thanks ladies!

[@allthelittlerebornshansen5448]

Tip for your Mexican umbrella get it on pole right away will grow fast and size up quickly

[@allthelittlerebornshansen5448]

Mexicanum

[@dollydhanraj7158]

Please do a philodendron video soon....they seems to be the favorite of everyone...Please tell which need poles n which are runners.

[@ChristyD97]

How long do you go before you clean the pon, or do you never clean/exchange it.

[@friekepelgrims7856]

You are sutch great friends love you botth ❤🎉

[@riwolfe574]

Have you tried carnivorous plants for fungus gnat control?

[@xtractify]

What's the difference between doing the slow method and placing a plant from soil that's had the soil removed into a jar of water and letting it grow water roots vs putting it in PON and filling the PON with water above the roots? You say how you only want to keep the reservoir low with PON to prevent root rot. Why will roots rot in PON that are sitting in water but not rot when the roots are sitting in just water?

[@Hely-si3ly]

What about the leaves that are turning brown at the bottom? Do you leave it there to heal?

[@bekology101]

Is yellowing on the tip of leaves normal for semi hydro shock ? Alocasia - in perlite/stratum … do you think it’s cal/mag deficiency? I just put super thrive in there but it’s doesn’t contain cal/mag

[@SumaMeeran-wi8kz]

It is impossible to remove 100% remove the sphagnum moss. Is it ok if there is tiny bit before repot in the stratum

[@marionschwitzner8013]

I love pon for many plants. Did one of you ever put a fern in pon??

[@mableleaf2445]

Uh that might be a good Idea! I Love ferns but I struggle so much with the watering so I can't Jeep them right now😅

[@darya9407]

I don't get why you filled the bottom part with LECA and the rest with pon? Just curious 😊

[@nakikiish]

Where do you get your mugs?

[@ThePlantySpace]

Have you ever collab'd with houseplantygoodness?? I think we would love to see that!!

[@madamplant52]

What brand of Pon do you use?

[@cindymcadoo7443]

Eh depending on how low you plant your plants you can lose leaves even in semihydro…there’s nothing wrong with putting moss around the aerials. They don’t always grow down into the substrate. I grow a ton in semihydro and have better luck with them growing down with the moss vs not. Also a little dirt doesn’t hurt the plants in the transfer. It’s the stress of transfer and the fact that you will lose roots trying to acclimate from one substrate to another. In other words, that little dirt at the bottom of the pot wouldn’t have killed your plant. Honestly you would wash it out in the reservoir or by top watering

[@torquess454]

Yea, soil ninja does not ship to Canada, can you two get on them about that? Maybe they’ll listen to you? 🙏 ❤

[@kittysparkleeyes]

Do standard pest treatments like isopropyl and horticultural soap not work on flat mites?

[@roots_and_ruin]

They work perfectly. An alcohol solution spray does the trick :)

[@kittysparkleeyes]

@@roots_and_ruin I did wonder as I couldn't see why they wouldnt , but I always see the sulpher treatment recommended specifically for flatmites

[@littleheaven70]

They absolutely do. The whole "you can only treat flat mites with sulphur or hot water" myth stems from one KZbin video, and the misinformation ended up spreading all over the internet like wildfire. There is nothing magical about them. Anything that will treat spider mites will treat flat mites. The thing that trips people up is that flat mites have a really long life cycle and, like other mite species, their eggs are not affected by contact sprays. So people often stop treating before the eggs hatch and they get re-infested. The key is to treat further apart for longer - like once every two to three weeks for three months rather than every couple of days for a fortnight. Sulphur is actually a pretty poor miticide (only treats what it touches and doesn't deal with the eggs) and it's rough on plants, people and pets. I've seen reports of the vapours tarnishing people's jewellery in the same room as a treated plant 😬 It's definitely not something that would spray around indoors.

[@kittysparkleeyes]

@@littleheaven70 thanks for that reply, it was concerning especially as I keep hoya and its probably only a matter of time! More over the sulpher spray leaves nasty crusty staining on the leaves so its something I would avoid if possible! I like to use alcohol spray tbh as its the only thing I have used so far that hasnt destroyed leaves on at least some plants

[@littleheaven70]

@@kittysparkleeyes It is an unfortunate reality of owning hoya (and I've had them on syngoniums, string of nickels, and even anthuriums - they are not picky eaters!). But on the bright side, they breed so slowly that it takes ages for an infestation to get big. I recommend getting a strong jeweller's loupe (40x minimum) which is just enough magnification to spot them. And just be persistent with treatment if you find them. Oh, and if the plant is not too densely-leaved, wiping the leaves and stems with a wet paper towel should get off a lot of the unhatched eggs. If you want to go the beneficial bugs route, californicus mites are the #1 choice.

[@Twinleo1]

My Alocasias all rotted in pon. I guess I shouldn’t have filled the reservoirs up.

[@finnster6582]

A bit overpowering Emma!

[@kristiemowry3267]

what a pair of goofs. fun to watch.

[@jackwinter1385]

Not watering a plant because you don't like it isn't sinfull but it is plant cruelty. If you don't like a plant, give the plant to someone who likes it and takes care of it.

[@jodieagle4178]

Emma doesn’t have that accent remotely on her channel..not that I mind..but she seems not so authentic? Makes me question if I will continue following her?

[@pudik2008]

There could be a simple answer to that,as someone who speaks English as a second language,when I’m around Australians my accent isn’t noticeable,when I’m around ppl of my own language,my accent gets really strong. Emma did talk about that in a video and said her accent is stronger when she’s with Brits,don’t quote me.

[@kittysparkleeyes]

I don't think shes being inauthentic, shes lived in the uk several years so thats had an impact on her accent. When she's around other people the way she speaks is impacted by how they are speaking. Claire has a particularly rp british accent so no doubt that influences her. Its not uncommon to mirror how friends are speaking.

[@TheJungleHaven]

Emma's actually covered this in a video on her channel before. It's completely normal for people with accents to slip in and out of it depending on who they're around. Emma is also half American and half British, so it's perhaps picked up on a little bit more because she's been brought up hearing both 💚

[@GoodGrowing]

hey, just wanted to hop in here and say what everyone here has said is correct, my accent does change a lot depending on who I'm speaking to for all of the reasons stated... It's completely unconscious and I can only control it if I'm really concentrating on it which I'm not when I'm hanging out with Claire & talking plants 😉
