I got myself some microfiber gloves for leaf cleaning and it works great! I usually had issues with accidentally breaking or damaging leafs, but now I just put a hand on each side of the leaf and gently slide them down. The gloves are also great, because I can very easily regulate how wet they are, because they are directly on my hands.

[@TroyRubert]

Microfiber gloves are must have for me.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great tip!

thank you i need some of these!! we used to have them at the nursery i worked at for leaf cleaning/ pest control + i completely forgot about them

[@18Alpine]

[@510shoshana]

A bonsai concept is to expose more of the trunk to get that lovely tree like look in a small container. I love that idea and will start trying it, especially on my bushy large leaf rubber plants! Thanks for the tip.

[@callmeishmael3031]

Bonsai concepts are long term strategies. It can take many many years to get a plant to the desired miniature tree look. In the process during those years, your bonsai plant may look strange or unappealing as you let different growth techniques take hold. Exposing the trunk may not be desired, at all, because a woody trunk tends to thicken where it branches. If you trim the bottom, then when it starts branching higher you can end up with a trunk that gets thicker higher than it is at the bottom, and of course, that is undesirable.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great tips! My favorite propagation method is rooting in water. I had some plants that weren't doing well and I switched them to water from soil and they took off. I leave my cuttings in water most of the time and they grow like crazy. Lots of syngoniums, pothos, philodendrons, and others. Really enjoy your channel!

I love keeping plants in water! I got some little globes from Amazon that hang on the wall, so that I can have even more plants in water. As long as there's water in the vessel, you don't have to worry about over or under watering.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Exactly!

[@sarahrosen4985]

Since I started rooting all my snake plant cuttings in water and then just leaving them in a nice vase, I can't imagine going back to soil.

[@griffinbastion]

another tip about cuttings, if you put some young willow growth in the jar and keep it there for a day or two, then put other plant cuttings into it, they will make a great rooting booster for the cuttings

[@lauraelle3637]

Also, lentils water contains auxines which boost growth. Just soak some lentils for a few days until they start to germinate. Use that water for propagation and enjoy a sprout salad!😊

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great tip!

[@sarahrosen4985]

@@lauraelle3637 how about chick pea rooting water?

[@lauraelle3637]

@@sarahrosen4985 yes! It seems that most beans have this feature but especially lentils (which I personally use) and black beans. Kalanchoe water is also good, if you have some cuttings and let them root in water 😄

[@lindsey4178]

I've done a bit of experimenting with propagation lately and my favorite prop method has changed....ive tried water, perlite, and lately vermiculite. Water always seems to be fastest but if you are putting in soil, there's a bit of a shock. Vermiculite seems to have solved a lot of problems because it stays fluffy with air but much moister than perlite. It's been an interesting experiment.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Great shout. Not tried verm before

[@lindsey4178]

@@SheffieldMadePlants also, I'm currently searching to do a deep dive on auxin release. VERY interesting. Maybe I should just keep a permanent pothos in water on my windowsill and just pop my propagations in there....at least long enough to get roots jump started. Thanks so much for the info. I had never heard of this and hadn't gotten to the end of the video yet when I originally commented. I can sense a new experiment on the horizon. Lol.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

[@ekanimation]

Indoor plants dry slower when it's rainy or cloudy outside. If the soil refuses dry even though you have draining holes in the pots and you have used up all you paper towels trying to absorb the excess, you can use a plant supporting stick and gently push it through the holes in the bottom of the pot and all the way through the soil to make it loosen and dry faster. This has saved me from replanting or switching the soil several times this summer. Im not sure of the exact translation for the stick but it's "blommpinne" (lit. "flower stick") in Swedish. Any stick that's small enough to fit and not push out the plant of the pot will do though :)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Nice tip, thanks

[@jstamps9578]

I've never heard some of these tips, such as not showering naked with your plants. But the one I'm anxious to try is putting a pothos cutting in with other plant cuttings in water to speed up roots forming. Congratulations on creating a website I will definitely be checking it out.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you 😊

[@Janpre2001]

When I over water my plants, I take it out of the pot and sit it on a wad of paper towels or a paper plate for a day or two until the soils dries a bit before putting it back into the pot.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

That’s a good’n

[@julierobertson148]

Another tip to dry out soggy plants which worked for me. Let gravity drain as much of the excess water as possible. Make a multi-layer wad of absorbent cloth (preferred because it's reusable) or paper towels a little larger in diameter than the pot. Set the drained plant on the wad and a lot more water will wick out of the soil. If the wad saturates (gets runny), replace it with a dry one until your soil is the dampness you need it to be. And, very important, GET A MOISTURE METER!!

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Hehe too true 😁

[@chrislynch1011]

I do that too, sphagnum moss works as well, and putting it on the top and bottom as well

[@MsOpium]

On some of my plants I have a beach towel underneath the draining ones that I don’t have saucers for. It seems to do the trick because the towel is constantly damp and I have to wash it weekly to keep the smell away. (A little ghetto tho but it seems to work!)

[@staceyrose5821]

Puppy pads work really well and they can be reused. Price varies depending on where you purchase. Just a thought.

[@hesherette]

your website looks beautiful, so nice to see your online presence growing right alongside your plants! also i died a little inside watching you cut the lower fiddle leaf fig leaves, those lower leaves on fiddles just love to fall off by themselves 😂 yours looks adorable though, i'm going to chop the top off of one of my tall fiddles to make a cuter, smaller one like yours

[@faithcomesbyhearing724]

More great tips. If I had those large plants I would try that. I love when they look like trees. Have a blessed day.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Thank you 😊

[@ekanimation]

My tip is to use a cup of room temperature coffee instead of dishsop to fix hydrophobic soil. It works really well and feels safer, at least when I have to drown the soil because my grandmother is an expert at making it hydrophobic all the way down to the roots at her place 😂 I either mix it with water and pour it directly on the soil or mix it with water in a larger bowl and dip the soil in it. I think this methods could work with normal bottom watering too but that has to be tested more first. Coffee also acts like fertilizer so make sure the plants don't get any additional nutrition if they don't need it 😁 Edit: this method is much faster so don't leave the soil longer than some minutes in the water if you sink it in the Coffee water mix. At least not unattended :)

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Ooo didn’t know that 👌

[@ekanimation]

​@@SheffieldMadePlants Happy to contribute! I am currently experimenting with propagation on wet paper towels loosly wrapped in plastic foil. I am currently propagating 3 separat Hoya parts in soil and 3 in the foil. They are all the same size and from the same plant. The original thought was to see if the transition to soil would be easier on the roots in this way rather than propagation in water but then I decided to compare with the ones put directly in the soil instead. I can see smal roots forming on one of the hoyas on the plate with paper and foil but it's way to soon to tell if it will work. I will update my results if anyone is interested, and If anyone else wants to try, pleas do so we can compare :)

[@stiaininbeglan3844]

Dish soap can actually be used as an insecticide, and water with dish soap can be flushed through the soil occasionally to help kill some pests. I don't know about root mealy bugs, but spider mites and soil mites for sure.

[@ekanimation]

@@stiaininbeglan3844 yes but the problem is that dish soap kills microbes and other living things in the soil that is needed for the soil to be healthy. Dish soap also kills water living organisms (it's actually stated on the lable) so I'd say it's a last resort. It also kills the plant directly if one is not carefull. I only use it if (like you said) I have something like spidermites that would have killed the plant anyway and never in the soil since I've already killed some plants that way 😅

I recently started to remove the nursery pots out of the ceramic pots to allow better air circulation. I failed to get rid of the standing water resulting in bad order/root rot.

Regarding making plants look like trees: I grew 3 ficus Benjamina cuttings and plaited them together until they were about 15” tall before letting them branch out. I have to rub off little side shoots from the ‘trunks’ from time to time but it looks quite cool

Omg it taunts you in the store with its uniqueness and you bring it home only to have pickles all over the floor if you breath the wrong way and those bare branches... that one in particular such a let down. Some plants just need to be admired at the store and stay there. I really hate dieffenbachias too, and whenever someone gives you a plant gift basket of mixed plants, there is always one in there.

[@whyisgamora4191]

Do meters last though? I cant find any that dont have many reviews that say they stop being accurate after a few weeks/months

[@_hazplants]

Is this an electronic probe or a meter that changes colour? The latter works with a wick made of a material that changes colour when wet. Inspired by this, back in the days when I had my plants in soil, I used a wick from the center of the rootzone, hanging out of the pot through the drainage hole. By feeling how humid the wick still was, I was able to say, if the plant needed a drink.

[@Plantcave]

Speaking of pesky fungus gnats, I have a Nepenthes x Ventrata and it has actually kept the gnat problem at bay. I’m not waking up to fungus gnats buzzing around my head. I haven’t for many months now
