Thank you @nancysmith6053! I try to make them helpful and concise. Take care

Thank you @SamMaciel, I appreciate the support. I too am thinking about the long term effects, a 3-6 months follow-up would be good, but I even wondered if it would have any long term influence on things like the tree's resistance to pests and disease, fruit productivity, etc... A long term study like that would be great, and be what I would ideally want to do, but another part of me also thinks the genetic make up of the seed is already there, and how it's germinated is not likely to have such long term effects, and that maybe the boost in start is good enough. Either way, I agree with you and your thinking. Thanks again, and take care.

@AGoodLife "Nature vs Nurture" experiment.. maybe 100% is genetic and maybe the whole Peeling is just to kick-off the plant. In that case simple as do it to help your odds of getting started. But if it does affect long term then it adds to justificationnof the time spent. Some would rather not spend time peeling seed and just plant a tray and use what sprouts.

@@SamMaciel True. Probably not going to happen unfortunately, but I would love to spend that time, and keep around enough of a sample size of trees and document results.

Thanks for the suggestion @MetaView7. I'll try that method too and see what I find. Take care

Thank you @sophisticatedwrat! I try to make them informative and concise. Take care

Thank you @WaterKing1! Take care

Ah, sorry to hear that @PublicEnemyWithin but I'm glad you got that far. I hope you'll try again, if you do, you can keep it indoors indefinitely! They do well and look great as indoor plants too. Take care

Thank you @inkfish123456, but don't worry, you're not alone! I've killed plenty of jades too unfortunately 😬Take care!

Hi @taylorsaige9116, honestly I don't have experience with putting plants in soil after hydroponic or the Kratky method but my guess is it should be just fine. I would maybe keep the soil really wet at first, and slowly transition to a regular watering schedule from there over a couple of weeks or so ( I water mine Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays). Good luck, and take care!

Ah that's terrible @eal4361! Sorry to hear that. I hope you will try again and grow more. Take care

Hi @bwang5176, I did not graft a specific type, just grew my plants from lemon seeds (and as I said in the video, citrus seeds are not always true-to-type) so I am not sure what type of citrus I am going to get -no fruit so far. Take care

It's a good one @mariageorgieva5418, welcome to the club! :)

Thank you @squirrelattackspidy! I'm glad you found the video helpful! Soil from outside should be just fine. I use soil from my backyard all the time. Grab what you need and you can kind of turn it over and stir it up a few times, and unless you see any larger bugs or worms -which is not likely at all, but check just in case, it should be fine. I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck, and take care!

I'm sorry you're not a fan of jades @fishwars5979. It's ok, different plants are appealing to each of us. Hopefully yours will look and behave better after your pruning. Take care!

Thank you @aprilblossom9268! I'm glad you liked the video and let me know! Good luck with pruning your plants!

Hi @waatao9856, I'm not sure. I wouldn't guess so since pothos is not an aquatic plant but I personally don't have any experience with it so I researched it online and there seems to be conflicting info. Some say they do ok fully submerged and some say they only survive temporarily, sometimes a few weeks, sometimes a few months, but they eventually die. You can see for yourself if you like and if you do please let us know. From what I've seen all I can say is they'll be ok, but temporarily. Good luck

Thank you @stoneymuggins! I'm glad you found it helpful! Best of luck with your jades, and feel free to comment and ask any questions you might have even if they're not related to the videos. Take care

Hi @FC-7704, I'm sure you saw, I answered this under your other comment but I'm pasting the answer here too in case others want the answer: "No, it's just better for putting them in soil. You don't have to wait to scab them to place them in water. I would recommend scabbing and soil, but even if you want to propagate in water, I would recommend putting them in soil once they've grown viable roots. Either way, good luck!"

@@AGoodLife Thanks so much for explaining! 💕

@@FC-7704 No problem! :) Take care

Thank you @lynnelowe8461! I'm glad the roots are looking good and that you found the video helpful! Good luck and much success growing them in to healthy plants!

Hi @FireT-yg9oc, you don't have to do it this way. Putting them straight in soil will work too, as it does in nature. These methods are used to improve the odds of successful germination only, like you setting the seeds in water first, not really necessary, but I'm guessing it would help. I will try out that method too and see how well it goes so thank you for sharing. How long do you keep the seeds in water?

Hi, thank you @angiecats5298! You are right, peeling the skins of seeds is not really necessary but it seems to improve the odds of success some. I'm actually right now working on a video comparing seeds with and without skins. It should be out soon. Take care!

@@AGoodLife I’ll definitely be looking forward to that. Thank you ☺️

Hi @gardencitygrowers9313, I wouldn't recommend it because it's better to keep the wet napkins as clean as possible. Otherwise, any additional dirt or compost may increase the likelihood of mold developing and wasting the seeds. Good luck, and take care

@@AGoodLife Hi, thank you 💯👏🏾👏🏾

Hi @martiantv805, they don't need light before they grow leaves and they don't need direct light for some time when they grow leaves, just a bright area. So, yes, I keep them out of direct sun at first. Take care

Hi @eiramu, you're right, you don't have to peel the skin of the seeds, of course it will work like that too, like you said; as it does in nature. But peeling the skin seems to improve the odds of successful germination a little bit. I actually did a test comparing peeled and unpeeled seeds and I am about to upload that video in the coming days. Take care

@@AGoodLife yes please. I got a bunch of seeds growing after peeling them but I have a load that I’ve been too lazy to peel yet and I was looking for experiences before I waste them 😅 thanks!

Hi @christinelyons8402, basically, grafting is a pretty common practice among fruit tree growers. It is done by attaching a branch from an already-fruiting tree to another tree, called a "stock" tree. The stock tree is usually a young one that would take many years to bear fruit on its own, but grafting shortens that time and makes the stock tree 1-grow fruit much sooner 2-ensures the stock tree grows that same kind of fruit. There are various grafting methods. You can find out more online about how it's done. Take care

Hi @zeenatfatima7707, if it already has developed some roots and leaves, it would probably survive and continue to grow. Good luck

Sorry to hear that @cherylboyd5548, what's the issue you're dealing with?

Thank you @SAAAlvar-tq3ox, I'm glad you found it useful. Take care

You're welcome TheSanDiegoSteve. I hope you'll feel better soon

hi @goldenwhisper66, sorry to hear that. Wilty leaves happen most often due to under-watering or too much sun. Don't keep them in direct sunlight for a few weeks and make sure you water them some every few days. Check your pot's weight and soil. If the soil completely dries and the pot feels really light before waterings, increase the amount of water you give them. Take care and good luck!

Thanks crafts and gardening!

Thanks, Corky Wine!

Hi kyncha, if the pain is bad enough, it might be worth putting a shirt on for a while. Either way, take care and I hope you feel better soon

Hi smart451cab, I'm glad you found the video helpful. Take care and good luck with your jades!

Thanks Robert Stoker :) I'm in northern Europe myself. You can grow it indoors like me and maybe even keep it dwarf in a pot by pruning and training (otherwise it may eventually need its own room!)

Hi Ayushi Suman, yes, leaf or a branch, it's best to let it scab over and dry for a few days before putting it in soil. (It's not an absolute 'must', you can put them in soil right away too, but it will be more vulnerable to diseases and take longer to root.) Take care, and good luck!

Hi Save The Earth, actually a few different houseplants are sometimes called the 'moneyplant' the pothos being one of them. I'm glad you're doing ok in the currency department. Take care, and keep having those money plants around, I guess! :)

Hey BagDiscEnergy, it should be ok, but I wouldn't do that too many branches, and I wouldn't go shorter than 2 nodes. You can experiment and see what happens but if you want to maintain your plant's well-being that's what I would recommend. Take care and good luck!

@@AGoodLife you’re a legend 🙌

Hi Kallie, I am not saying “you might plant a tangerine tree and get a lime tree” in the video, I'm saying "you might plant a tangerine SEED and get a lime tree” since citrus seeds are not always true-to-type, as I explain in the video. I've heard both pros and cons for peeling the seeds before germinating them. I'm actually right now working on a video comparing 50 peeled seeds to 50 unpeeled seeds to test some of those claims. It should be posted in the coming days, if you're interested.

It is doing well, and stands over 1.5m/4 feet but still no fruit... Soon I hope though. Maybe next year... :)

Hi Reny Dev, I am glad that is working for you. Each break/crack is unique I'm sure based on severity and location but for me, the real painful part was the first few days, then it was painful for another 2-3 weeks but a little less so with each day and this method really helped me. So if you miss lying fully flat, and once you get a little better and get in bed, you can still use this method. Even though it may be more tolerable by then to get in and out, this method will still make it less painful. Take care and get better soon!

Thank you Kumo, I'm glad you liked it! Good luck!

Thank you so much Olivia! Your comment made my day! 🙏I will try and make more.

Hi Morris & April, I still have the big plant that's in this video, it is now close to 1.5m tall (5 feet) but still no fruit. I never grafted though, and without grafting it may take 5-8 years to get fruit and it's just getting close to the 5 year mark. Maybe (hopefully!) I'll see some fruit in the coming years.

@@AGoodLife That is super cool! Let us know what happens. Lots of people still have great fruit from citrus, avocado and apples anyway.

@@MooreLegacyFarms Thanks :) Will do!

Hi Flamer997, sorry about your lemon tree drooping. The most likely cause is underwatering of course, but check the soil to make sure that it's not too wet. Overwatered and underwatered citruses tend to appear similar. If you don't think it's a watering issue, another culprit may be too much sun. Plants take a while to adjust to new conditions and the bigger the plant, the longer that may take. So since your plant is larger this year, it may take it longer to adjust to being outside. (Again, assuming it's not a watering issue) I would recommend putting it outside for shorter durations each day and gradually increase that time. Good luck, I hope everything goes well.

Hi Solomun Crablert, once I put them in soil I start watering them once a week from the get go - just slightly more generously the first couple of weeks. Good luck and happy growing!

Thank you Char Vanders, I try. I'm glad you liked it and let me know.
