Another major difference, is that the flower from your Mom's is much more dramatic/striking, whereas the flowers of yours are more like a common aphyllum in terms of shape and color.
I have both. S. anthonyanus tends to only flower, for me, after I've cut the branch tips off in the spring. D. anguliger tends to bloom on its own, for me, without any branch tipping. I fertilize the anthonyanus with a high phos. fertilizer in spring, and high phos. fertilizer for anguliger in the fall.
I have a Brazil plant and she’s been doing very well since I got her in September. I think she’s still pretty young, only seven leaves and not too big either. But I’m concerned about a few things: 1) she has a few spots/holes on a couple of her leaves and I’m not sure why. She just got some on her most recent leaf and I think it might be from the sun exposure. 2) One leaf has a brown spot on the edge and is curling. 3) I’ve noticed a few leaves have been curling lately. I water her every 7-10 days and I read that they’re native to warm/humid environments so I take her into the shower with me every now and then. I’m in college in Nashville but I’m from Chicago and plan to take her back home and I’m worried she won’t do as well. Do you have any tips on how I can take better care of her?
All beautiful!
17!
So i have a chameleon zz and it had pretty color but now its all green. I do have some new sprouts that look like they will come in yellow. Is that common? I have been watering once a week, so i will be pulling back on that. But it has grown a good 8- 10 inches taller in the last year!
This is totally normal! The ZZ chameleon’s leaves emerge yellow and "harden off" to green as they age.
Can you let me know what yellow leaves mean?
It really depends, has the soil been consistently wet or dry? If wet, them it's likely due to overwatering, which prevents the flow of oxygen to the plant's roots. If dry, it's probably underwatering and needs a good drink :)
The leaves can be cooked and eaten.
Yes, they can! Thanks for bringing that up. I'm personally not a huge fan of the taste, so into the compost bin they go.
I have the moonlight slow grower😊😊
Yes indeed!
Much bigger than the ones I got!
I couldn't believe it!!! Much better than my regular potatoes this year.
@@ByBrittanyG Same, though I didn't plant many regular potatoes this year. Gophers found several of my sweet potato plants, but I still got plenty. Still have sunchokes to harvest, and it's a mystery how many of those I'll get until I start digging!
Ooo, good luck!
Thank you! Just moved into a zone 8 cabin in the mountains, someone left 6 clusters of garlic, going out to plant today:)
Ooo lucky you! Perfect time to plant the garlic in zone 8!
Amazing!
ty!
and then what? Do we keep em in the garage all winter? Thx.
This is perennial lavender (where I live in zone 7), so I'll plant them in the ground when they are rooted. Fall is a great time to plant perennials! It's a tad late in the season, but our growing season seems to be getting a bit longer each year, so I'll probably throw these in the ground and see if they take.
Thank you very much for sharing. I was picking some this year as well. I was just putting them back into the soil 😅 Next year I will do it different. One time I was collecting the seeds and then I forgot to sow them so I thought this year I just put them directly back into the ground. I will keep you updated if it worked.
Please do! They are pretty aggressive self-seeders, so honestly, that will probably work! You know what, I think I'll try it too and see what happens :)
Thank you for this video! I have one that has been in the same pot for over 2 years and huge, but has very long vines. I have been thinking about re-potting it and cutting the vines, but I'm not sure how big of a pot I should use. Any suggestions? I'm hoping I can propagate the long vines.
You'll want to repot it in a pot that's just slightly larger than the existing one. I usually size up about an inch or two. And make sure to use some fresh well-draining soil...I'll put in a little later in the bottom, add the plant, and then fill in around it!
wow, so much knowledge. Thank you
I'm really glad you found it helpful! <3
Thank you, Brittany! I’ve tried several times, but not this way so I’m going to give it a try! I want sage everywhere because I absolutely LOVE how it smells burning and how it tastes with caramelised onions 😋
I'll have to try it with caramelized onions! I mostly grow it because I love the smell and I love how it fills out my garden beds. And it's sooo low maintenance. Hoping your new props are a success!!
I bought the Cebu Blue recently specifically to have it hang like yours. It’s so limp and not full, so I can’t wait until it is.
Chop and prop! That's always my solution, lol. I've been chopping this one for years!
@ ok!!! I really need to do that with these stringy limbs.
Love your videos. I have a question. Is there a philodendron or monstera plant that grow large leaves but the plant itself stays small or short? I’m limited on space but love the large leaves. I can’t seem to find any information about plants with large leaves but short or small plant size.
Hey Sandy, thanks! I would say maybe you'd have success growing this plant or a monstera deliciosa, but a single plant (many plants have multiple "plants" in one pot). You could keep it prunes from the bottom and train the stem up a pole to keep things more compact. It would probably be easier to start with a small or medium-sized plant and train it as it goes.
I love that you are showing the entire process all the way to rooting, and not just cutting.
I think it's super important to see the whole process--the first time I tried to prop rosemary cuttings, I was not expecting it to take as long as it did and I didn't realize that the success rate was so low on woodier cuttings, so it was pretty frustrating. Hoping your rosemary props are a success <3 <3
What is that i never seen that before but i looks cool
Air plant!
Re painted it. the heck. Don't ppl know how terracotta is made.
I do know that it is made to be absorbant and wick moisture away from the plant's roots, but sometimes you just gotta paint it because you want to :)
@@ByBrittanyG I see youve never been on a wheel before. Go back to Bunnings drone.
Why should a man die when he has sage in his garden? Vitamin k in sage keeps the brain tissue elasticity and resilient! Great video! May the Puppy Power be with you!
Hey thanks! Hopefully I'll have even more sage to trim and root next year <3
I'm growing one, as a display for my hydroponics bucket.
Nice idea!
What size of lumber did you use
1x6!
Awesome tips in your video! But I'm having an issue with the stem size....the plant is growing like crazy but the stems are long and skinny, so what does my plant need? It is in a North window but also has it's own grow light directly over the top .
Hi, thanks so much! this can often mean that the plant needs more light. However, I've found that when the stems get super long, they can just get skinny. You can always snip them off to propagate!
@@ByBrittanyG Thanks, I'll see how it continues to grow.
How do you store them so they’re still good for spring?!
I set them out for several days to make sure they are 100% dry and then store in a little container or plastic baggie!
Great project idea! But what didn't you also cut out those same notches you made for the outer legs...on the middle two legs. I feel like that might damage the moldings you just installed also...
Thanks! Yeah, I should have pointed that out. When I dry fit the cut-out notches on the end pieces, I realized that everything was sitting pretty flush since the wood was pretty bowed. I got the cheap stuff for this lol. But definitely something you should do if you're not able to get it sitting flush.
Enjoyed your video, just built the the 12*7 model .... I live at the beach in DE, definitely could relate to heat and drought during construction....
Oof, you got similar weather to us here in Maryland, then. Brutal during the build! We're in another period of about a month with no rain...glad we installed those barrels!
Great video. What is the size of the pots you have used for the three hanging plants in this video?
Thanks! They are 8-10 inch pots.
So happy to find you here. I discovered your blog a few month ago 😊 and I rely to so often. You did an amazing work! I just bought one yesterday and it's flowering!!! I wanted to take it in the shower and treat for pest in a preventive way but I'm so scared that it could loose its pedoncule. Same for the poor peaty soil it came in. I don't d'are to repot it in my special hoya mix.. for same reason.What would you do?
Hi! Thank you so much! :) Don't be worried about the peduncle, it's pretty hardy! The flowers will eventually fall off, but the peduncle will remain. If you're heading into winter where you are, I would probably wait until early spring to repot. But hosing the plant off is fine!
@@ByBrittanyG OK! I'll do for it's next watering. Thank you for your answer 🙂
I used to be a terra cotta pot….
This is amazing! How do you get thick enough limbs to support hyperactive cats?
Ty! Lots of digging around in the woods lol. Also, you could anchor the top platforms to the wall to keep them from moving around
This was so helpful, THANK YOU
Glad it was helpful!
I'd be curious to find someone who has owned this for a number of years. It's a nice design but they go out of their way to avoid mentioning what it is made of which should be the most important feature. When asked they will say "Chinese Cedar" which isn't related to Western red cedar, and is actually a fir for which you can expect limited lifespan outdoors. Might be best to buy this and and cover it with real cedar.
I saw the discussion you posted in the FB group about this before buying mine. In your post comments, someone stated they compared the Chinese cedar with domestic cedar and reported the cedar used by BYD was more dense than domestic and a better product for lasting longer. And that the Chinese cedar is frequently used in construction in Asia due to its durability. It smells 100% like cedar inside my greenhouse, and I'm planning to seal the outside yearly regardless of the material to help prolong its life. But since it's a new product, all of us early adopters are all kind of guinea pigs!!😂
A year ago you had video about asters, i had volunteer asters. Do the blooms have seeds? Ty
They do! Just wait until the flowers have died and dried completely. You can crumble them into a plastic bag and then go through to pick out the seeds.
Funny how you think you’re expert but haven’t had it very long or ever repotted it. Seems to be the same with other UA-camrs growing the same plant.
Great I have a ton that I will have to harvest !
Me too, just hoping they finish drying out before it frosts! My plant got a really late start this year.
❤
How long did it take you to build it?
It took us about a week working on it part-time, though two of those days my husband worked on it for about 5 hours straight. Staining and organizing all of the pieces by step in advance definitely saved some time when we started bringing them outside!
Great project! I need to make something like this myself! The simplest way to cut that hole would probably have been a holesaw drill bit rather than manually trying to cut around it... You would have had a perfect little circle, and they're pretty cheap to buy.
But that would mean I would have had to be patient enough to wait to buy the holesaw drill bit LOL. Patience is not my strong suit :)
@@ByBrittanyG Haha, I can totally understand that!
How do you get yours so full? Mine is growing a lot, but just looks like a string of leaves at this point lol
I know it's hard but...pruning! I trim my plant all the time. When you cut the stems, new growth will sprout kind of at an angle. Over time, this creates a really full look
Would be nice to know what kind of "plastic bag" you store them in? Will a ziplock bag do or do they need air?
You can put them in a ziplock! Just make sure they are totally dry first. I sometimes let mine sit on paper towels for several days just to make sure. I have a few piles going right now :)
I bought a compacta last April or May (It's now Sept 2024) Boy, is she a s l o w grower! I have go my mom's Hoya Carnosa almost one year ago. The plant is about 60 years old, and as far as I know, she has only bloomed twice. I assume that mom was snipping the peduncle off after the blooms were done! I have it in a west window with bright filtered light. She is growing well, but so far, no peduncles.....
Have patience, I promise it's worth it!! I've had my hoya carnosa Chelsea for many years, and it hasn't flowered yet either.
@@ByBrittanyG Thanks... This one is around 60, and I am almost 68! She'd better hurry up! 😉
Hey Brittany, in what state are you located?
Maryland :)
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you! 😊
I've heard that milkweed has many varities and one 1 is edible. I found some pods like you have. Are they the edible kind?
No idea, sorry!
Very helpful thank ya. I didn't seal inside so the paint cracked when it was sealed on the outside. Great designs
Thanks so much, glad you found it helpful!
Do the top leaves end up growing larger? I'm asking cuz all of my top leaves seem to be small. I'm wondering if they'll end up growing or are they missing something?
If the new growth is small, it's probably not getting enough light. I have mine in pretty bright indirect light.
Видео классно! Спасибо за него ❤
Great job!
Thanks!
