Watch me Make Hanging Baskets from Aroid cuttings in 60 Days | M. Adansonii & Cebu Blue Propagation

[@phytosexual]

For those of you that asked for my Instagram instagram.com/phytosexual I don’t like to waste time with intros 💚

[@susangalizia8616]

Good information and delivery was well understood.

[@millie28julio]

OMG, thank you for this video. Where did you get that Cebu Blue? I have been looking at the local stores here in Pembroke Pines, Fl. And I cannot find them. If you can help me with some information where I can buy them without breaking the bank, I will be very greateful. Thank you.

[@norcimorci]

Finally 😆

[@glorialulu9297]

Intros waste of time. I appreciated you for going directly to the discussion.

[@maristel5975]

Thank you for sharing this Nick. I killed heaps of aroids trying to propagate them, lol 😂 Now I'll have more success following your video. Can't wait 😃🤩😍

[@marthamiriam8983]

Great video! YOU DEFINITELY ARE AN ENTERTAINER. You were born for the camera.

[@phytosexual]

Haha thank you for the compliment. I try, sometimes unsuccessfully....😝

[@norcimorci]

I totally agree! Found your channel yesterday and I'm totally hooked. You are definitely the most entertaining plant KZbinr

[@gcslave13]

Easily the best plant tuber currently, I can’t wait to see your channel grow

[@phytosexual]

Thank you it has literally grown from 500 to 4K in a week, and I've been here four months. Lmao

[@perseffany]

“Kim Kardashian is president and I haven’t aged a bit because I moisturize” 👌🏼👌🏼😂 your personality >> I don’t think Miracle Gro soil is bad in itself. I’ve heard several people say they had gnats in their fresh opened bags though. I just know that their fertilizers at least are bad for worms and microbial activity in the soil because of their synthetic sources for nitrates. I gardened organically for the noms before I started caring for houseplants and just ended up treating them the same as I do my edible plants and herbs. But if it works for you and you’re container growing, I don’t see what the harm in using that soil would be 🤷🏻‍♀️ Everyone has different mixes that suit their environment, humidity, watering tendencies, etc better and your plants look pretty happy to me!

[@phytosexual]

I don’t like organic materials in my house because they tend to smell, and pots are too small to support worms and ecosystems for the most part. To each their own 💚

[@perseffany]

@@phytosexual I definitely understand that for any kind of indoor container plant really! I haven’t noticed any kind of foul smell, except for when I’ve had to use neem. Now, that shit STANKSSS😂😂😂 My kid legit runs away if she knows I need to spray it lol

[@amandalovelle7617]

[@ambercollman8236]

I’m so sad it took me this long to find you! I think I’ve watched almost all of your videos in one sitting. Haha! Love your content, topics, humor and additional links. Don’t stop!!! I’m also from the northeast. It’s going to be a busy winter inside 💚🌱💚 I would love to see a video on compatible or non-compatible pot/plant roommates. Thanks again!

[@phytosexual]

Thank you, I’ll definitely keep on keeping on 💚

[@phytosexual]

Thank you I'll make an ASMR channel lmao

[@JGCornucopia]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I wish more content creators would do this compared to 6+ short videos.

[@phytosexual]

It takes a lot more work to organize these videos.

[@azlizzie]

Makes sense why my two pothos are totally leggy and sad. Might break one of them up to fill it out. 🧐

[@nevaeha4048]

Do it!

[@DesireeStamat]

Yes, its great to fill in those gaps.

[@HappiCamper]

I bought a M.adonsonii as a single leaf and it has 5 now - looking forward to creating a bushy basket when it grows up a bit more ❤ I was given a single M.standleyana leaf cutting and it's got a fourth leaf coming. A wish list plant would be Thai Constellation but I'd need a bigger house! We don't do a Christmas Tree as we don't have the floor space. (Instead, we have a Christmas Ladder ceiling mounted in the living room and Christmas Garden Bamboo Stake ceiling mounted above the kitchen bench 😁)

[@leahlove5949]

Umm can we talk about your eyebrows!? Ugh goals 😌

They are actually two very well trained caterpillars.

[@phytosexual]

So many phrases or techniques? Lol 😝

[@rebeckaendicott2580]

I think dubia is my fav type of monstera, hopefully one day I'll be able to get one. The way their leaves grow is so charming to me!

[@phytosexual]

They are gorgeous 💚

[@millieblue5014]

Would love to see how the hangingbaskets with monstera adansonii and cebu blue looks today😊

[@phytosexual]

My adansonii got too much sun this summer and my Cebu blue got too much rain. I should have kept them inside, otherwise it would have been fine haha.

[@beanoneya]

You're really funny, I like your sense of humor. And honestly, I watch plant videos for relaxation and entertainment rather than learning specifically. I often learn something too, but ya know, the world is stressful plants are mostly not.

[@mikekufner1192]

Love your sense of humor! You make things fun to watch! Great video like always!

[@phytosexual]

I. Try. haha

[@vsm613]

I love your videos! I love the science, humor, and thoughtfulness of the viewers aka "Greenhouse Thingy" xD I wish you would post more frequently though.

[@phytosexual]

The videos (especially the several part videos take me a lot of time). New video out today!

[@colleenreimer3639]

That was a great video! I love your sense of humour while at the same time showing us your talent and knowledge of plants! It was so well done!! Thank you❤️💚

[@phytosexual]

No problem thank you!

[@censusgary]

My friend wanted to give her cat a flower name, so I suggested Gloxinia, a name I’ve always liked. She chose Daisy instead.

[@phytosexual]

That name is very interesting, daisy to too basic.

[@jessicapetrin1655]

I wish you would make more videos 😢. I really enjoy watching you and find you very knowledgeable compared to others..

[@phytosexual]

Sorry i'm working on it.

[@phytosexual]

Thanks!

[@phytosexual]

Yes that's a good idea. Pro Mix is also good that I've found at Walmart.

[@xchicaqox]

I LOVE your content 💚 I can tell you put a lot of work into this video plus your sense of humor is great 😄

[@phytosexual]

Thank youuuuu 🌱💚😊

[@kyrad6543]

I do believe tomorrow I will move my cebu blue cuttings from water where they are not rooting to sphagnum moss in a bag like yours! They have been very reluctant to root in water. I want to make a small full pot for a friend. As far as a favorite, I'm currently obsessed with monstera siltepecana. I've been stalking the big box stores because some people have been able to purchase huge hanging baskets and I need one!

[@phytosexual]

Moss is the best. Everything takes so much longer with water. Let me know if you have any questions during the process. I’m also lurking for a Cebu blue basket. My patience non-existent, but my basket is in the works as you can see 😂

[@macylouwho1187]

I just stick cuttings in a suction cupped loop at the top water line of my fish aquarium. Works every time 👍. Plants love fish poop water.

[@amigirl824]

Idk if I’m really into Monstera. I have adansonii and deliciosa and I’m just like meh. I do appreciate this vid though - I’ve been just water propping and after watching your method with the little greenhouse bag and then box I think I want to give your method a try. Aaaannnnd if you’re still reading I also use miracle gro. I’m to pretty to mix soil.

[@jessc4018]

Love the video and the effort you put in with the updates! 💚 brb going to make a hanging basket 🌱

[@phytosexual]

Haha let me know how it goes. More videos with updates in the future. I have a bunch of projects in the works.

[@dorkolicious525]

This video is amazing. You entertained and informed. I just started propagating and I was hovering over it like it was going to die on me overnight.. which it might.. but you’ve eased the anxiety with this video! Keep doing you what you do ❤️

[@juanitagibson3577]

Omg you are hilarious 😂... I think I nearly peed my pants laughing so hard. Thanks for making this pandemic more livable.

[@pamelaf.2776]

Very informative and surprisingly entertaining. I can’t believe I watched the entire thing in one sitting. Subscribed!

[@phytosexual]

Thank you. I try!

[@HILERIUS]

Thank u for this..just bought 20 long cuttings.. wishing itll be a success

[@phytosexual]

Best of luck!

[@Samifinm]

I just got a Peru too and it’s sooo cool!! Massive leaves too, like 7.5” long. I love it 🥰

[@phytosexual]

I got the one pictured with two good sized leaves and out of nowhere they started to die when propagating. The cruddy looking one was the leaf that survived. The new one is pretty though!

[@WoodlandT]

I got 3 Peru cuttings from a well known KZbinr. 1 was beautiful & healthy. 2 arrived looking pretty bad, very thin leaves, one nearly black & had scale. The other was bent at the petiole w/ a big tear in the leaf. It was not shipping damage/stress. He sent me unhealthy cuttings. The good leaf rooted out nicely in sphag and is in soil producing a new leaf. The other 2, I’ve watched slowly die over the past 2+ months. The leaves are now 90% black & crispy, no root development whatsoever. He’s been absolutely no help when I asked for guidance. The nodes haven’t rotted yet. So I guess I’ll give them more time. It was my first time buying cuttings & my first real wishlist plant, pretty disappointing

[@Sandreline]

I appreciate how much work you put into this. It was super informative.

[@phytosexual]

Glad you enjoyed I try to make every video very enriching.

[@MusicIsLife14356]

I love this! Definitely subscribing after two videos not only bc i dont know too much abt plants but also bc you are bbaaawwwmmm🌱💚

Thank you I love being explosive and dangerous.

[@janwillard6708]

Excellent detailed video with just enough explanation and details to be through without putting you to sleep. Watched the whole video. Nicks process is different from mine, I root cuttings and go right to hanging basket, skipping the rooting box. But find that an interesting step I may try in the future. 🪴❤️

[@jaesiraki84]

What a GREAT video!! 😍😍😍🌿🌿🌿🥰🥰🥰 NOT boring!

[@phytosexual]

haha thanks.

[@psychee25]

I loved this all!!! Hahah you’re so entertaining and I learn so much! No wonder mine don’t really grow! I guess I’m doing all of this process but skipping the part about putting them in the greenhouse with the small potting holes straight to the full on pot. So sometimes they rot! I’ll probably invest in one of those greenhouse boxes, loved it, thanks for the video!

[@phytosexual]

Definitely, plants need to be able to absorb all the water in their pots within a week or so.

[@joshg11]

I was just gifted a long vine of Cebu blue, and this video is PERFECT. Great content as always Nick, glad I’ve been subscribed!!

[@phytosexual]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@ashleybones3556]

Great teacher, thanks. I'm learning and enjoying your vibe

[@Jennn460]

Thank you for all your efforts! This was very entertaining. :) P.S. the people need to know the skincare routine.

[@phytosexual]

Everyone has been asking me. I’ll have to do it at some point.

[@TheWispiestKitty]

This was super helpful. I don't like water propagation, either, but I usually go directly into soil. This is the first time I've heard someone explain why moss is better. I never knew about making plugs before potting, either. I'm definitely going to try it once it warms up a little.

[@phytosexual]

Glad it was helpful!

Me, again. Repeating I just found you three days ago. Randomly stalking your videos. And again exactly what I have been on a hunt w need of help. Rooting adonsonii and cebu blue. The close ups are excellent w explanations. Now I get it. My struggles have been the transition into soil from water. First attempt to root w moss is the stepticana (spelling)right now. One week. Rio (silver splash?) cutting was gifted 2 days ago. I'll take out of water now and I'll propgate her into soil. I enjoyed the longer video because you kept it entertaining. Funny AF too. Thank you again (^‿^✿)

[@lindseysgreencanvas]

So I'd eyed Streptocarpus for awhile, but just was never sure and after your plant tour and this video I have decided that I definitely want one. I know a lot aren't in to flowering plants, but I personally like having both foliage and flowering plants because sometimes ya know you just need color. Your videos are always so entertaining. My new plant tuber obsession.

[@jannettecabrera1]

I have the deliciosa for a couple of years and it has 1 variegated stem and leaf, but not the node, so I never tried to propagate it. But it was my Adansonii that started my monstera fever! I I have 5 species. I love them all! I want more!

Hello Nick even though your hanging baskets were a disaster, I find you transparent, honest and open. I am Australian and lots of us take things literally so I thought you are going to make a hanging basket made from aroids. (Insert laughing at me here). Nevertheless I do not know why I find you entertaining. It is probably because you do not hide your feelings and they show on your face. Kudos to you.

This was very helpful, thanks! I have a tiny pot of Cebu Blue from two cuttings with one node each that I got in July for an absurd amount of money per cutting. I just like the look of this plant so much that I couldn't resist. It's slogging along; I gave it a tiny moss pole made from a skewer to climb and it seems to like that, but I want a full, lush plant so much! If the price for cuttings of it goes down next year, I'm going to follow your method and make myself the pothos I deserve.

[@phytosexual]

If there is a nub there should be a node since they don't send roots out of their petioles.

[@Karen_Marie]

Do you do wet the cuttings while they're in the moss and ziplock? Do you give them sunlight (how much) while they're in the clear top container? How often do you water them once they're out of the moss?

[@phytosexual]

If they’re in a sealed environment, no need to add water. No direct sunlight, just indirect. It depends on your environment when you water.
