@@donedwards1956 thanks so much Don! It’s crazy how attracted to BOP’s mealy bugs are - everyone who I know who has one, has had to fight off mealy bugs 😂 lucky it’s treatable with repeated care! Thanks for sharing ☺️

@@mylinahmad3335 thankyou for subscribing ☺️🍀 I really appreciate it - hopefully the videos help!

@@AlphaGeekgirl they’re beautiful, aren’t they! ☺️

@@connie.22 I used to shower all my plants too 😂 just as long as they’re left out to dry later, I don’t see why not! ☺️

@@Lakaa I’m glad it was helpful ☺️🍀 hopefully you don’t need to be rescuing any plants from root rot anytime soon!

@@ubehappy395 hello neighbour!! I gifted my friend one and it bloomed as well - as your mum said, it’s considered good luck if they do. I haven’t even managed to get mine to bloom 😂 lucky you!

@@ManuniTlau no worries, glad that it helped ☺️🍀 all the best 💪

@@dandyindyandy I really appreciate the feedback and I’m so glad that it helped!! That’s such a shame to hear about hurtful or condescending comments - I’ve seen first hand around some of the plant pages and it’s really discouraging 😣 but there are plenty of people in the plant community who are supportive and happy to help! Thanks so much for reaching out, hearing that it helped in someone out there really makes my day. All the best with staking / just make sure you find a sturdy one ☺️🍀

@@RL-ql5mt North facing is best! As much sun as it can get ☺️🍀☀️☀️

@@CarltonBerry-b9e agree - takes forever to bottom feed plants anyway, and I would hate to add more time to my day just to do it 😂

@@briarnoir thanks so much, I really appreciate the feedback ☺️🍀

@@lynndelevan3049 sounds like they’re doing well and I can imagine it looking so majestic and beautiful being 6 feet tall! Nice work! I have actually had the exact same problem where they are sitting parallel where one is leaning quite a bit and have tried to readjust - to be honest, it was such a tedious job to try to move them because the root ball was so mature and intertwined when I tried to repot. You certainly could attempt to do so, but you’ll probably find it a pretty difficult (but not impossible task) to do. I did find that when I did try to readjust it, they ended up just naturally moving back to where it felt better for them and I did cause a little bit of damage on my attempt (but not to worry, it’ll always grow back). Just make sure you have someone to help you when you do repot ☺️ hope that makes sense!

@@nidagrossman1459 I love bird of paradise too! Thanks for watching ☺️🌱

@@lanaone5516 hiya! Could you tell me how much time between waterings initially when you had it in the windowless bathroom? As much as they do ok in low light, if there’s no light then sounds a little problematic. For now you’ve already moved it to a place with more light so it’ll just need some time and patience to adapt - I would make sure the next time that you water it, that it is indeed in need by checking the soil with your finger and wait until it’s dry before you do so. Hope that helps!

@@simpleplanty Thanks for your reply :) I only watered it once, probably 1.5 weeks after I bought it and haven't watered since (probably about 3 weeks now). It's mainly the smaller bottom leaves that are yellowing but the brown spots are in the leaves mid way. The top leaves of each stump seem pretty happy and green? No brown tips there. I was thinking I will just repot now that it's Spring basically in Sydney, and get better draining soil and remove the dead stump if I can. I'll make sure to have a regular watering schedule too. Any suggestions to help it not die? Thank you x

@@lanaone5516 oh you’re in Sydney! It’s also winter and since you just got it it’s also acclimating - so give it some time, spring is almost here too ☺️ you definitely can prune down those leaves and 1.5 weeks in between doesn’t sound too frequent and fine at all high level. I think right now it just needs some time acclimating to the new spot that you’ve put it, so keep up the maintenance and less is probably more at this stage to keep it happy. 😊

@@simpleplanty Thank you 🙏 There are just so many new yellow leaves each day, should I remove them? Should I remove the ones with brown spots? If I remove a lot of the yellow ones, it will look pretty naked. Do you think I should repot once it is a bit warmer or just stop worrying for now? Thank you thank you!

@@lanaone5516 you can safely prune the yellow ones off since there’s not much point keeping them so that it can divert its energy somewhere else (such as growing new leaves). Could you describe a bit more on the browning? I probably would wait a couple more weeks before repotting to give it the best chance during spring, since that’s when the plant is its strongest ☺️

@@Tommy2Txmes sounds like it is thriving 🤩 I tend not to spray my leaves, as sometimes leaving residual can cause bacterial spread but a light spritz sounds fine and seems like it is happy, so I wouldn’t change a thing ☺️

@@simpleplanty Yeah i had it in front of a window that i think got too hot and sunny because i live in arizona. The tips started yellowing. So i moved it to a different window that doesnt get direct sun. I usually spray it lightly and wipe the leaves down every now and then. But i found once a week watering works good for mine. Thinking about trying to propagate. A little scared to try. Lol

@@Tommy2Txmes sounds perfect actually! Spraying them and wiping it down is even better - dust usually accumulates on the leaves so you’re doing your plant a huge favor by wiping it down so that it can absorb those sun rays 🤩 don’t be afraid to experiment with propogation - you got this! If it fails, you still have your mother plant 😉

@@redlexi45 hello! I feel like putting a monstera plant in a circular cage will be a little restrictive for the leaves to grow out - unless it’s positioned ‘behind’, that would be better. But am really referring to specifically a monstera here, some other plant types could potentially do well in them. Hope that makes sense! ☺️🍀

@@nadiatinajeropena74 thankyou so much for the feedback! I’ll keep that in mind for when making future videos ☺️ otherwise, hope it helped 🍀🍀

@@smilejeremy thanks Jeremy! Much appreciated - hope that it helped ☺️🍀

@@AwakPening love the Shivereana 😍 nice to meet you! 🥳🎉

@@Oliverisloved yay I’m glad!! Thanks for your support and watching - hope it helped! ☺️🍀

@@kimschannel5567 no worries, mine has done the exact same thing too as it has matured. Sounds perfectly normal!

@@kimschannel5567 omg what a bargain! Don’t you just love how detailed the leaves are? ☺️

@@antheech8853 hey there! I assume you mean your aerial roots? I generally leave mine and just tuck them back into the top of the soil of the pot (and totally get what you mean by them going crazy and unruly) - you definitely could trim some without causing major damage to your plant but I prefer to leave them (and if anything, some tend to even employ methods such as aerial layering to promote root growth to support overall growth of the plant). Hope that helps! 🍀

​@@simpleplantyHey! Yes I ment the aerial roots. Thank you for your reply!

@@antheech8853 no worries, hope I answered your question ☺️🍀

@@xiomaracaldron9052 oh no! Where is it looking black?

@@denisej.9936 thankyou Denise ☺️ much appreciated! 💚

Thankyou so much! Definitely rewarding to see them grow - I certainly replanted into a larger sized pot, as a general rule I go for about 1-2 sizes up; monsteras grow pretty rapidly so you’re better off going the 2nd size up from your current pot - just make sure you have enough space in your home for it to grow 😂 mine has gotten to the point where I’ve gotten one of the biggest size growers pot you can get (ie 30mm circumference), but has happily stayed in the same pot for over a year now ☺️ hopefully that helps! Note; you don’t want to go way too large at the beginning, because too much space could cause overwatering which will present itself problems. All the best ☺️

Thanks so much for the feedback Carol! I don’t mean to plug another video of mine, but I do have one that shows you the differences between a moss pole, trellis, etc: ua-cam.com/video/kwAxVn0a3AQ/v-deo.htmlsi=RU3UXA0auygYiUmO You might find this one useful too. Hope that helps! ☺️

No worries Victor - glad I could help! They are super rewarding and easy to care for; best of luck ☺️ how exciting!

Same! We’ve come a long way since I got mine for $29.95 at my local supermarket. It has about 5 leaves with new growth coming in. I’m sad that the new leaf has a brown spot. Is my grow light burning it?

omg $29.95 is such a steal 🥺🥺 mine was $500 during covid times! Are the brown spots appearing on the variegation (ie the white/yellow parts) - that is a common sign of too much light so I do wonder how long you are keeping the grow light on for!

Hi Cecilia - no worries, I have done similar to my plants where I’ve moved them outdoors; they’ll just take a bit of time and patience to acclimate to the new environment. Bird of paradise love full sun, but if they weren’t used to it, the leaves could potentially burn if you transition this too quickly. Hope that helps!

hello!!! thankyou for watching from Sri Lanka <3

That’s a great tip! I’ve tried that too - actually did it once when I went overseas for 1 week and I grouped them all together against the balcony door and kept the bug zapper on - came back to a cemetery of gnats on the floor 😅

No worries, I’m glad you found it useful and thankyou so much for subscribing! My tips have browned over time but they have gotten better - doesn’t necessarily mean your plant is dying hehe they’re pretty sturdy plants and even after weeks of neglect mine has still held on pretty fine! Hope that helps ☺️🍀

I gifted one to my friend and it flowered! How amazing ✨

😚💚

Great idea - and in my case, stabbing the top layer of soil with a chopstick 😂😂😂 I guess if you don’t mind getting your fingers dirty, that’s all good too! Thanks for sharing ☺️

hey there - unfortunately yellow/brown spots cannot be reversed, so you could cut it if you wish - don’t worry, if anything, cutting it off will allow your plant to redirect its energy to new growth, so you will eventually get new leaves ☺️ hope that helps!

No worries ☺️ happy to help 🙏

Hi Samantha - transport shock can definitely contribute to the appearance of its health diminishing. How long ago did you move? Also, have you repot the plant into new soil in the past couple of years? A repot gives your plants a refresh of nutrients it needs to continue to be healthy ☺️

I’m great thanks! Could you describe a little bit more on how the bumps look like?

@@simpleplanty its like a little grey bumps

@@simpleplanty tried to send you pics on insta

@@makeviaoo7 got the message request ☺️ you can send the pic

@@simpleplanty done

😭😭😭

Long time no see and great to hear from you Raymond!!! I’ve not actually uploaded content in so long - but hopefully this video helps 😂 definitely stake your plant, there are so many benefits! Hope it helps ☺️

I rotate between a brand called ‘plant runner’ and ‘powerfeed’. As long as it’s got NPK in it, your plants will go gangbusters for it ☺️🍀

Thank you for the info.

@@ebotebot5 no worries, happy to help ☺️

I average about 1.5-2 weeks between watering ☺️ will depend on your climate and substrate but it has been a little colder lately in Sydney! Hope that helps

​@@simpleplanty that does help! Do you mist yours at all? The humidity isn't the best in my house. About 43% usually.

@@cammiforeman no worries, glad I could help. Do you mean misting directly on the plant? I generally would not recommend it and feel like it’s the biggest misconception - usually if there’s residual on leaves this can cause more problems than do good. In general misting only raises the humidity very temporarily (unless you have it on all day, etc.)

Also, the Thai is pretty easy in my experience, I’ve actually recently put her outside (it’s currently autumn and humidity is no way near 43%) and the temperatures have been going down to 14 degrees overnight, yet she is still producing a large healthy leaf right now!

Absolutely ☺️ if it isn’t already in a place with full sun, might be a little time for adjustment. Hope that helps!

The tide has shifted for me - 40% plants 40% dog 20% food 😂😂

@@simpleplantyI love that. 🤣

@@HappyBuffalo-ky9ni 🙊🙊🙊 how old is your dog!?

@@simpleplanty Just turned 2!

@@HappyBuffalo-ky9ni omg my dog is the same age - turned 2 in March!!

Hey hey! I am currently using a mix of a bunch of products that I’ve bought from my local hardware store. It’s a blend of orchid mix, indoor potting mix with perlite and charcoal added. I’ve actually just purchased another brand by the Plant Runner that is called ‘Aroid Mix’ that contains a blend of orchid bark, perlite, coco peat, charcoal and compost which looks like an amazing mix for my future repot (but it’s basically the same as doing it myself but with a premium price tag 😂). In general, adding some drainage into your mixes is highly recommended for aroids such as the monstera ☺️ hopefully that helps!

Oh and also, I wouldn’t say one is ‘better’ than the other and it’s by matter of preference; terracotta pots tend to dry out faster (essentially better drainage) which means you’ll generally have to be watering more frequently so your plant babies aren’t so thirsty - as for plastic pots, I use these for most if not all of my plants (just from an ease and aesthetic purpose). Hope that makes sense!

That must be such a luscious and beautiful jungle to walk around 😍 do ever let me know if you get to taste the fruit! Would love to hear your thoughts!!

Oh but be careful.. can’t just harvest a random one and eat it as I heard they’re toxic if not eaten at the correct stage

Sometimes I do wish they could water themselves 😂😂😂

Ah yep! I suppose I would do the same if I had a complete Amazonia of plants 😂 have a lovely weekend!!

Plants are living things too 😝 just like children!
