Thanks, SPG, for being authentic. Genuinely, one of the reasons I have followed you for so long is that I don't feel like there is this fake persona and it's just refreshing to watch someone who cares about the same things in life. 🌱💚📷
It's good that you're talking about things that we as an audience can do “better” to improve your reach, earnings, etc. People who are not creators have no idea how some activities affect the algorithm and how easily they can mess it up. Awareness needs to be raised! 💪 P.S. I love these lego flowers, they are the only plants on which I don't have pests😂💚
📸Some people aren't bright enough to realize that people on the internet are actual people, and they aren't entitled to know everything about their lives. I appreciate all that you share. Yes, I'm nosey and would love to know more, but I respect you as a person. And I love Brad. 😺😻😽😽😽
How funny because I just talked about this in a reading. People really don’t understand the stress and pressures put into content creating. It’s taken 5 years to grow to over 26k still feels like a climb everyday. This is a hard job. Love your content and keep growing.. no pun intended. 😂❤
Wow! Thank you for sharing these valuable tips and not gate keeping them! The last bit really put things into perspective. I hope you know how appreciated you are, plant chores or not, your videos help me unwind after a long day. Thank you for caring, and thank you Brad for being so adorable!
I kind of feel like UA-cam is more authentic whereas on IG and TikTok are a bunch of shorts that are meant to be funny. Yes, there are some DYIs, etc. but I just personally like this better. As far as your channel goes, I love it because I do feel like I'm almost in person with you. You're not bouncing all over the screen, acting a fool... you're giving VERY helpful tips and tricks as far as plants go and you can very much see how genuine you are. It's nice to see someone creating the content without a bunch of edits as well. You can absolutely tell, and it gets annoying after a while. I want to see the bloopers! lol Anyway, thank you for what you do and keep it up, we enjoy you so much! P.S.... To answer your question, I found you here on UA-cam first :) 🎥📸
I initially came to your channel seeking knowledge and help with my plants. You definitely never disappoint! Now I stay for you and Brad! You are so genuine and your content is always fun to watch and informative. I’m so glad that you are able to do what you love! The time and effort you put into your videos never goes unnoticed.
I've referred so many plant friends to your videos. I love how clearly and throughly you present information. Thank you for all of your work! Brad is such a cutie 😊😊😊
I think one of the biggest reasons why I like to watch your videos (despite the endless inspiration that I get from them and the truly AMAZING 💚 plants and tips and so) is that you really sound honest and authentic and you make your audience feel like we can be ourselves as well and as you say, that’s OK, with all the success and all the failures and so on. And I think that’s exactly what you did in this video as well and it’s just really great authentic content. It helps to educate us and raise awareness about the work of content creators and how to show appreciation for it. I really needed a bit of a “lesson” about it. Thank you for sharing it with us! 💚 📸
@ I’m not a stalker believe me,🤣 you can ask my husband of 40 years. 😅I’m open to learning from the young gen and find it very inspiring to see the younger generation strive and grow in their abilities and talents. But you need support and recognition for the amazing work that you do. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You are the only content creator who was able to explain to me clearly to me the importance of moss pole. backed with science and beautiful plants as proof.
LOVE these Lego sets - l've not seen these ones before. I've done the orchid, the bonsai and a bunch of flowers. Need the daffs and sunflowers. Especially appreciated your chat about monetisation. It's good to know how it works. Hoping that this eventually gets you and Brad into a home of your very own ❤
I found you in UA-cam accidentally when you started your channel. I am very great full to have found you. Your originally, down to earth personally, and honestly has been inspiring. As you mentioned based on your content I felt a bit more comfortable “poking the bear” and trying to grow plants on moss pole even when my family don’t het it. Thank you for all of your advice. Wishing the best for you and may you keep creating for many years to come. Hoping that your dream of getting your house and renovating expanding it.
Really enjoyed your insight in this video! I’m usually more of a lurker (but subscribed!) on both youtube and IG, but I do comment/dm occasionally (both here and IG) and it’s so nice being able to interact with you! I just had this video play whilst I’m working, and it’s kinda like having friendly company
I truly appreciate all of the time and effort you put into your content. You should be aware that you are an inspiration not only to myself but many many others that I know and certainly many more that are unknown. I learned more from this video than I have in my 3 month attempt to figure this out on my own. I am very much OCD in how the final outcome of the video looks, and I ALWAYS talk myself out of posting. I beat myself up to the point that I catastrophically implode. Sometimes, to the point that I actually go back and remove older posts! I'm just starting out obviously and very thankful that I had the opportunity to see this now rather than later. THANK YOU! ❤🎉❤ 38:48
I came across your channel via UA-cam and I believe it was at the beginning of my planty journey when I was searching for information on a specific plant or maybe even plants on poles. Great video and very informative! 📷
If I see a notification for a video of yours, I am on it haha. Sometimes I watch the long form content in chunks on a busy week. I think it would be worth uploading some shorter but maybe more of them? You seem happy either way and I am so happy for you 🎥
Thanks Jan for this video. Lots of good information. I'm not a content creator I just love growing plants and seeing what other people grow but I enjoyed hearing all the things you have to consider to create an interesting video. Appreciate your content always. 📷
📸 I found your channel through a Facebook plant group and instantly loved your content , Brad and you, I look forward to Tuesday and Thursday's spent with you.
💚I’ve been watching your videos and they’ve really inspired me to get back into my plant pages and channel. Thanks so much for sharing your tips on how to connect with your audience. I really appreciate it!💚
📸I really love your longer videos… I found out about your channel from another planty UA-camr and the first video I watched was on moss poles. I love growing plants on moss poles and have learned so much from you!
Incredible vid….. a good reflection of the man that you are - confident in yourself and your content and humble enough to share the elements that have made you the success that you are. Others would not be so gracious or so giving. Wishing you all the success , all the time. ♥️ GT Maree
I'm already looking forward to you moving into your own house 😅 For some strange reason I love watching renovating, moving furniture and decorating especially if it's got to do with plants😂🤣🌿🌱
Hi Jan. I found you on UA-cam after watching The Jungle Haven. I now look forward to your new videos and love your content. I don’t have any other social media and I agree that they all have different clientele. I like the content creators like yourself who make the effort to get to know their audience and are authentic people. I hope you're able to continue while still being able to achieve some of your life goals. I try to help by watching and not skipping the ads 📷
SPG!! Thank you for being so authentic and genuine with us!!! ❤ btw- found you on UA-cam, started following you on ig after the fact 😂 and I always see your videos on my feed every day, just lag on commenting whoopsie ! Also thought it was really refreshing to not hear you recommend the “therapy app” to us. I have never doubted you!! you’ve always been so clear and straight up with us like a real person does and that’s why u my fave. I do wish you had merch though cuz I want a shirt 😅
Fantastic video, love the engagement and personal feelings of your videos. I came across you on UA-cam, I don't use Instagram or fb for personal stuff, mainly work stuff (movies etc). I've always been a huge airoid lover, especially climbing plants, and HUGE plants, but in the uk it is difficult to grow some species, but I love a challenge. Your channel has taught me so much about plant care. I really, really appreciate your content and the work you put into it, your passion for plants really comes across in your videos. Thank you for your informative content and the family feel(vibe) that comes across. Take care Pete
This was so interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing! I found you through YT, I don't have other platforms. 📷 Keep doing what you're doing. Like you said, we sre a community and the relationship is the important part. I think most of us would continue the journey with house renovation stuff. How fun!
Thanks for another great video. Very informative. I’m glad you took time to do some planty things the other day without filming and enjoyed yourself. The struggle to feel like you need to film everything is real and it can take the fun out of the hobby. I really enjoy the long form content. I wish YT wasn’t pushing so much for short form. I hate shorts and rarely watch them. I go to YT to learn about things I’m interested in and I can’t get that kind of information in a short. Your videos are always informative and entertaining. Thanks for all you do. 😊🎥
I often comment because I know that it helps the algorithm too. Personally, you appeared in my suggestions, I also often saw other UA-camrs suggest your content in particular the moss poles. I liked the vibe, your humor and I stayed there! 💛🇨🇦 You are interesting on many subjects. I don't have any Aroid or moss pole 😆 I have several plants, but not of this type. What you say, present, explain is educational and fun. I listen to you while working so I appreciate the long videos, a bit like a podcast! Besides a Podcast with AJ 💛😆 The other day you talked about Daryll House Plant Journal, he often does collaborations, he did one with an Australian for the Leca. It would be super interesting you two I am convinced! Take care of you! 📹
Look forward for new place and renovation videos some day , that always interest me how people live and I enjoy your way of plant styling in space. It's nice but not busy to me eyes , elegant 😉
It’s nice to know have we can help you, cause some of us know how to act as human beings on the internet and want to be kind:) I’ve been working on my exams for the past few weeks so I’m a few days behind on content (sorry). I found you through UA-cam btw📸📸 and do appreciate your variety (moreSPG as well), long or short, cat or no cat, because you are interesting with a calming voice and content
📸📷🎥📹Thank you Jan! Very helpful. I’m just starting out on YT and I’m enjoying it but it’s slow going. I’ve started just putting clips of my videos as shorts, like advertisements I guess. It seems like the shorts help get my content in front of new eyes. I enjoy making the longer, plant chores videos more. They seem more organic. The ones where I’m just showing you plants, and describing to you what you are seeing, is not my favourite. 😂
Interesting topic! Love the Dr. SPG series! You are still my favorite planty follow because you are genuine, informative, funny and interesting. You are really super good at this! 🪴
🎥 💐 💐! Really liked this video! It was very informative. So sorry you felt the need to film it three times, but third time was definitely a charm for this one!
I watch you because I like your personality, your character, your intellect, your creativity, and your ability to take us along on your plant journey. I think your content is “edutainment” education+entertainment. I found you when I moved from Florida to Kansas. I had to bring all of my outdoor tropical plants indoors. Came for the plants and I found a very enjoyable and engaging person with the sweetest most handsomest fur baby🐈🥰🐈🥰Im so glad you and Brad popped up on my UA-cam page! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌱🌿🪴🍃🌞
You made me get into my first Anthuriums I'm actually receiving this week . I'm more confident and prepared. Hopefully I get one of those special Anthuriums your growing 🙏
I love what you do as a content creator. However personally I feel you are a better plantfluencer. You have influenced me to obtain a verrucosum, el choco red, splendid, frydeck, ikea cabinet, many sets of grow lights and much much more😂😂 my husband not as big of a fan of SPG but I’m having a ball. Thank you so much.
I really loved the botanic gardens videos. Maybe most indoor plants lovers don't have a garden space so outdoor plants are less interesting or relevant to them. Maybe viewers would like to see you tour or interview other people about their indoor plant collections?
Love watching your videos. And of course the most beautiful fluffy Bradley. Wish mine was that loving. Share your videos quite a lot to groups I'm in. Getting loads of ideas from your channel. And..have FINALLY found a manjula which I'm picking up tomorrow!! Someone here in Adelaide has said they are an awful grower. Hope to prove him wrong! 😊😊
@sandiefrancis2387 Hi Sandie, sounds like you and I could set up an SPG Adelaide fan club 🙂. I've had a Manjula for a couple of years, and it's going well, but quite slowly. What I have no success with are the velvets. What about you?
Thank you so much for the pointers!😍 I'm really struggling at the moment with the sub growth... Buttt I do watch you videos a lot, and multiple times to! Just because I forgot something or just for fun🥰
I've been watching you for over a year and had no idea that you read all the comments. This is my first time making a comment because of what I've learned from your video. Thanks for an informative and entertaining video.
I found you on Instagram. I was amazed! I ran as fast as I could right to UA-cam, hoping you would have longer videos and plant tours. I’ve been a subscriber ever since
I found you on UA-cam! I am not particularly interested in moss poles, they are ok, but I am not crazy about them. However, I find your content and personality fun to watch and I love plants. Hope this helps!
I hate the UA-cam shorts… they are akward and not why I open UA-cam, the bf on the other hand loves doomscrolling down this shorts. I love your long vids just to listen en watch you while doing my own plant tasks. Keep being you! ❤ P.s. 🎥
I found you on Instagram. I think not long before you started making UA-cam videos. If memory serves, I remember sharing with a fellow plant enthusiast and saw the links to UA-cam. Remember thinking holy crap he’s got videos now! That’s awesome!
I found you when I was looking for inspiration to develop my garden in Sydney. Another Sydney UA-camr I follow is The morning chorus - who mainly focuses cacti and succulents. I like lots of different plants including cottage style, tropical and succulents. Jill 🎥
🎥📸 it is interesting to hear about the behind the scenes stuff, i love all of your content and i really like the idea of seeing you renovating your house with plants and your planty aesthetic in mind. i definitely try to watch as soon as i see a new video, and the time difference between australia and usa means i usually watch while i have coffee in the morning a few hours after you post. also i love the botanical garden videos but maybe im a minority haha anyway, thank you for all of the information and for always including brad because hes so sweet and adorable. i commend anyone who is brave enough to put themselves out there, i personally could never! i think if you did collaborate with other planty people that would be fun.
Super helpful video thank you 🙏 🌱💚 As a new planty You Tuber this video was packed full of useful tips. I’ll likely even watch it again to make sure I didn’t miss anything 👍🏻😂
📸 Thanks for sharing. I hope Santa brings me some Lego flowers. I would love to see you collaborate with Sean from OnlyPlants. You two are my favorite plant people.
📷 As a subscriber it's nice to know how to be a "better" viewer so that I can support you so that you can continue creating. Wish I could watch all of your videos right away but I live on the opposite side of the world so that's not really feasible due to the time difference 😅 But I will try to watch them the same day I see that there's a new one 🙂 I found your channel when I was searching moss pole related hashtags on Instagram, but didn't subscribe to your channel on UA-cam until after I had created my first moss pole. It was unfortunately NOT made according to your recommendations, and I found your content again when I was troubleshooting why it wasn't working. I had made every mistake really: I put a too mature monstera deliciosa on a moss pole that was poorly constructed using the wrong kind of wire mesh (hexagonal and sort of flimsy), it was too wide and therefore contained too much sphagnum moss, it was in a too big pot with a potting mix that was not chunky and not well draining enough. That monstera sadly died (duh🙄😜) but I managed to take propagations and will try again when they are ready (I want to put a monstera deliciosa on a moss pole even though you don't think they need it, because I think it will look more neat that way). After seeing your content I got curious about different sorts of climbing aroids (had never heard of most of them before) so now I've put an el choco red, a verrucosum and a regular pothos on moss poles that are constructed using your techniques, approximately 1,5-2 months ago. Only the el choco has started to attach so far, but if it works I will definitely start recommending your youtube channel (and specifically the instructions for how to make moss poles) in the Swedish Facebook plant groups I'm in, because I see a lot of questions about moss poles there. I don't want to recommend something I've not tried and had success with myself though, but hopefully proof will be in the pudding (😉) and some of of my plants will make it and hopefully thrive this time 🪴🌿
Hi from Romania! I've been following you for so long that it took me a minute but I think I remember now that I saw you first on Instagram in a collab video with another guy who does moss poles and came over to UA-cam very shortly after.
📸 I appreciate your honesty.You are very matter of fact about plants and plant care, your yearly report videos about a particular plant are unique on youtube (I can't think of anybody else at the moment), I love the vlogs, even though they seem to not be for everybody and I trully appreciate that you don't split your subscribers into privileged (aka paid membership) and lowly peasants. I always watch your videos to the end, but I'll try to do it within the 24 hours. Anything I can do, I will, so you don't feel forced to recommend us mental therapy or socks or something like that😊
Your advice has given me the ability to successfully grow indoors plants after a lifetime of growing outdoors. I was never able to keep a house plant alive. I found you when I saw a UA-cam short of you chopping a plant "OH NO" That one still makes me laugh.
📸 I found your channel on UA-cam. Insta is somehow not my thing, tiktok even less so.😅 My first video was your Adansonii Spotlight. I've been a loyal subscriber ever since.💚 Thank you so much!
Love all your videos, long, short, however they come. I'd watch whatever you put out every day of the week if you did it. Good luck for your house dream, I'd love to see you've renovating dream come true and I'd watch it. Lego is the best 🎉 📸
I usually watch your vids within 24 hrs but this one slipped through. I like how you do the thumbnails, yours aren't worded like click bait, I don't like it when ppl do that... There's no drama on your channel. You are authentic. I love the lengthy vids. Sometimes, I will play your re-pot vids while I do my dishes, lol. Haven't won the lotto yet, lol. You need to do that thing where ppl can 'buy you a cup of coffee' or super chats when you're live. If everyone sent you $5 you'd be on your way to saving for that house ❤
Interesting topic. I think you have influenced/educated many into using mosspoles and perhaps into trying out/purchasing certain plants (to grow them on mosspoles) 😅 Like you said, it probably helped that you could already show the proof, give your watchers enthusiasm about trying things and goals for what they wanted theirs plants/houses/collections to look like Good to know about that first 24 hours.. I tend to sometimes leave the vids that I am sure Ill enjoy until I have gone through some I am not sure of yet… as in save the best for last. Will definitely stop doing that now! (Also wont be stressing about watching all new content within 24 hours, watching UA-cam is to relax 😅) Does pausing a video and watching the rest of it at a later time have an impact as well? Subscribing…. I don’t subscribe to channels that I would watch a video from every now and then (even though its free and might help the content creator). I find the impulse of “hey theres a new video” very disruptive if it is something that I am not interested in. Which led to “only” being subscribed to a bunch of channels at a time of which I actually will watch most of the content. If someone has 50% plant shopping/hauls and 50% how they grow their plants, I will not be subscribing even though I am potentially interested in half of their videos (Just sharing for insight) Found you on UA-cam People who watch content shouldn’t hate, stop watching if you don’t agree/approve, its that easy… Sometimes I do wonder if I should drop a line to explain why if I didn’t finish a vid, and always decide against it because I don’t want them to feel discouraged/hurt… then again it would have provided a useful tip maybe As for views… there is always so much new content… and people have so little time in comparison… sometimes some peoples lives gets too busy to watch anything at al 🤔. To me as a viewer it sometimes feels like too many things wanting attention at the same time (especially when 10 or so channels upload a new 30-60 mins video on the same day). Getting 2k views (I assume in the first couple of days) means that 2k people found your content one of the most interesting/important things to do in their spare time (I mean… how many hours of spare time does an average person have). Maybe its not enough income wise, but it is still a huge compliment to you yourself and the content that you create 😊 And gosh I ended up writing an email-comment again 😅 Hope thats ok 🌱 📷
Thank you :) all good on the lengthy, gives me good insight :) Pausing the video doesn't matter :) it's total watch-time I believe, doesn't matter if that's in one sitting or across a few sessions :)
Thanks, SPG, for being authentic. Genuinely, one of the reasons I have followed you for so long is that I don't feel like there is this fake persona and it's just refreshing to watch someone who cares about the same things in life. 🌱💚📷
Thank you :) appreciate it :)
My friend you DEFINITELY have some of the biggest plants in the world 😊 Your collection is goals! Thank you for all the tips ❤️❤️❤️
Hehe thanks Roos :)
It's good that you're talking about things that we as an audience can do “better” to improve your reach, earnings, etc.
People who are not creators have no idea how some activities affect the algorithm and how easily they can mess it up. Awareness needs to be raised! 💪
P.S. I love these lego flowers, they are the only plants on which I don't have pests😂💚
Thank you!! appreciate the support :)
I like the time and effort you put in your videos. Long or short ❤
To put it frankly I’m grateful for your care in your plants AND us.
And I’m grateful for such a great community 🥰
Thanks for sharing Brad with us.

This was such a great video. There are pretty much no content creation videos out there aimed at plant creators so this was brilliant to watch.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful 😊

You are so genuine and your content is always fun to watch and informative. I’m so glad that you are able to do what you love! The time and effort you put into your videos never goes unnoticed.

Proof is in the pudding :) hehe
Thank you Jan for always speaking your truth, it is so refreshing!
Thanks! It’s always best to be honest :)
LOVE these Lego sets - l've not seen these ones before. I've done the orchid, the bonsai and a bunch of flowers. Need the daffs and sunflowers. Especially appreciated your chat about monetisation. It's good to know how it works. Hoping that this eventually gets you and Brad into a home of your very own ❤
Also, alter the stem lengths on some of the flowers for a much better display
Thank you!!! Yes have changed up the stem length since :)

So interesting, so much happens behind the scenes. Thank you for you content , I always watch and look forward to it

I hope you're able to continue while still being able to achieve some of your life goals. I try to help by watching and not skipping the ads 📷
Thank you :)
📷- so informative while still being entertaining (per usual) 💚
Thanks!! 🥰
I love your videos because you're very down to earth , you have quality information & Brad ❤️
Thanks :)
Just love your plants:) Thank you for inspiring me and my son!
Happy Growing :)
Thank you for sharing Jan! ❤
Great video Jan, always love your content, especially your authenticity and honesty!! 💚💚💚💚
Thank you:)
SPG!! Thank you for being so authentic and genuine with us!!! ❤ btw- found you on UA-cam, started following you on ig after the fact 😂 and I always see your videos on my feed every day, just lag on commenting whoopsie !
Also thought it was really refreshing to not hear you recommend the “therapy app” to us. I have never doubted you!! you’ve always been so clear and straight up with us like a real person does and that’s why u my fave. I do wish you had merch though cuz I want a shirt 😅
Thank you so much!!! Still on the fence about merch! Just not that excited about it 🫣🫣
Fantastic video, love the engagement and personal feelings of your videos. I came across you on UA-cam, I don't use Instagram or fb for personal stuff, mainly work stuff (movies etc). I've always been a huge airoid lover, especially climbing plants, and HUGE plants, but in the uk it is difficult to grow some species, but I love a challenge. Your channel has taught me so much about plant care. I really, really appreciate your content and the work you put into it, your passion for plants really comes across in your videos.
Thank you for your informative content and the family feel(vibe) that comes across.
Take care
Pete
Thanks Pete :)
This was so interesting to watch. Thank you for sharing! I found you through YT, I don't have other platforms. 📷 Keep doing what you're doing. Like you said, we sre a community and the relationship is the important part. I think most of us would continue the journey with house renovation stuff. How fun!
Thank you so much!! Really appreciate it :)
Great Jan and Brad, thanks so much.
Thanks for the tips and knowledge. And i loved to see the LEGO bouquet grow !
Glad you enjoyed it!:)
Thanks for another great video. Very informative. I’m glad you took time to do some planty things the other day without filming and enjoyed yourself. The struggle to feel like you need to film everything is real and it can take the fun out of the hobby. I really enjoy the long form content. I wish YT wasn’t pushing so much for short form. I hate shorts and rarely watch them. I go to YT to learn about things I’m interested in and I can’t get that kind of information in a short. Your videos are always informative and entertaining. Thanks for all you do. 😊🎥
Thank you :) appreciate it !
I often comment because I know that it helps the algorithm too. Personally, you appeared in my suggestions, I also often saw other UA-camrs suggest your content in particular the moss poles. I liked the vibe, your humor and I stayed there! 💛🇨🇦
You are interesting on many subjects. I don't have any Aroid or moss pole 😆 I have several plants, but not of this type. What you say, present, explain is educational and fun. I listen to you while working so I appreciate the long videos, a bit like a podcast! Besides a Podcast with AJ 💛😆
The other day you talked about Daryll House Plant Journal, he often does collaborations, he did one with an Australian for the Leca. It would be super interesting you two I am convinced!
Take care of you! 📹
Thank you!’ Appreciate it :)
Thanks
Thank you so much :)!
Look forward for new place and renovation videos some day , that always interest me how people live and I enjoy your way of plant styling in space. It's nice but not busy to me eyes , elegant 😉
Thanks :)
It’s nice to know have we can help you, cause some of us know how to act as human beings on the internet and want to be kind:) I’ve been working on my exams for the past few weeks so I’m a few days behind on content (sorry). I found you through UA-cam btw📸📸 and do appreciate your variety (moreSPG as well), long or short, cat or no cat, because you are interesting with a calming voice and content
Really appreciate it :)
📸📷🎥📹Thank you Jan! Very helpful. I’m just starting out on YT and I’m enjoying it but it’s slow going. I’ve started just putting clips of my videos as shorts, like advertisements I guess. It seems like the shorts help get my content in front of new eyes. I enjoy making the longer, plant chores videos more. They seem more organic. The ones where I’m just showing you plants, and describing to you what you are seeing, is not my favourite. 😂
Good luck & hope u’ll have success :)
Good sharing thanks 👍
I'm here for Bradley!! ❤❤❤ however you definitely have some mad Lego skills
Interesting topic! Love the Dr. SPG series! You are still my favorite planty follow because you are genuine, informative, funny and interesting. You are really super good at this! 🪴
Thank you so much !! What lovely words :)) Really appreciate it
🎥 💐 💐!
Really liked this video! It was very informative. So sorry you felt the need to film it three times, but third time was definitely a charm for this one!
Cheers :)
I watch you because I like your personality, your character, your intellect, your creativity, and your ability to take us along on your plant journey. I think your content is “edutainment” education+entertainment. I found you when I moved from Florida to Kansas. I had to bring all of my outdoor tropical plants indoors. Came for the plants and I found a very enjoyable and engaging person with the sweetest most handsomest fur baby🐈🥰🐈🥰Im so glad you and Brad popped up on my UA-cam page! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌱🌿🪴🍃🌞
Thank you :) appreciate it !
Love to wach long type of videos, even if it might take long time to finish it. Thank you for sharing this all with us❤📸
Thanks :)
You made me get into my first Anthuriums I'm actually receiving this week . I'm more confident and prepared. Hopefully I get one of those special Anthuriums your growing 🙏
I also have the bonsai lego set it's awesome 👌
I love what you do as a content creator. However personally I feel you are a better plantfluencer. You have influenced me to obtain a verrucosum, el choco red, splendid, frydeck, ikea cabinet, many sets of grow lights and much much more😂😂 my husband not as big of a fan of SPG but I’m having a ball. Thank you so much.
Beautiful video, Jan! You inspire me 📷💚
Thank you so much!
UA-cam. I discovered your content originally on UA-cam. It was shortly after that TikTok and Instagram pushed your channels into my algorithm.
🎥this hour flew by. Love this talking video, the greatest advantage is that i can do something and just listen to that interesting speech🎥
Thanks :)
Love your chats. I found you on UA-cam not instagram. Appreciate all the content!
Thanks as always :)
I had a friend who recommended to watch your content, about a couple of years ago.. been following you ever since!
Thanks for the ongoing support :)
I really loved the botanic gardens videos. Maybe most indoor plants lovers don't have a garden space so outdoor plants are less interesting or relevant to them. Maybe viewers would like to see you tour or interview other people about their indoor plant collections?
You’re right, most of my audience are indoor plant focused :) defs need to get better at collaborating :)
📸 listened to the entire vlog while watering plants at work. 😊
Love that!:)
Great Video Jan!
Thanks so much! 😊
Love watching your videos. And of course the most beautiful fluffy Bradley. Wish mine was that loving.
Share your videos quite a lot to groups I'm in.
Getting loads of ideas from your channel.
And..have FINALLY found a manjula which I'm picking up tomorrow!! Someone here in Adelaide has said they are an awful grower. Hope to prove him wrong! 😊😊
That’s great to hear :) thanks for spreading the word hehe :)
@sandiefrancis2387 Hi Sandie, sounds like you and I could set up an SPG Adelaide fan club 🙂. I've had a Manjula for a couple of years, and it's going well, but quite slowly. What I have no success with are the velvets. What about you?
@robynfisher4455 I Haven't had any of those as yet.
Still looking. Need to get set up better at home
Thank you so much for the pointers!😍 I'm really struggling at the moment with the sub growth...
Buttt I do watch you videos a lot, and multiple times to! Just because I forgot something or just for fun🥰
Appreciate it :)
I've been watching you for over a year and had no idea that you read all the comments. This is my first time making a comment because of what I've learned from your video. Thanks for an informative and entertaining video.
Thanks for watching my videos :)
I found you on Instagram. I was amazed! I ran as fast as I could right to UA-cam, hoping you would have longer videos and plant tours. I’ve been a subscriber ever since
Thank you:)
📷 I’m not a content creator but enjoyed getting some insight into the process! Love your content!
I found you on UA-cam! I am not particularly interested in moss poles, they are ok, but I am not crazy about them. However, I find your content and personality fun to watch and I love plants. Hope this helps!
Thank you:)
I hate the UA-cam shorts… they are akward and not why I open UA-cam, the bf on the other hand loves doomscrolling down this shorts. I love your long vids just to listen en watch you while doing my own plant tasks.
Keep being you! ❤
P.s. 🎥
📸 keep up the great content!
Thanks :)
Thank you for continuing to inspire us 📷
🥰🥰 Thanks for the support!
Sending you lots of love. Thanks for being you
Thank you so much :)
I feel that you love your job and I love your videos
Thank you:)
I found you on Instagram. I think not long before you started making UA-cam videos. If memory serves, I remember sharing with a fellow plant enthusiast and saw the links to UA-cam.
Remember thinking holy crap he’s got videos now! That’s awesome!
Thank you!!
@ Of Course!!
I found you when I was looking for inspiration to develop my garden in Sydney. Another Sydney UA-camr I follow is The morning chorus - who mainly focuses cacti and succulents.
I like lots of different plants including cottage style, tropical and succulents. Jill 🎥
Thanks :)
🎥📸 it is interesting to hear about the behind the scenes stuff, i love all of your content and i really like the idea of seeing you renovating your house with plants and your planty aesthetic in mind. i definitely try to watch as soon as i see a new video, and the time difference between australia and usa means i usually watch while i have coffee in the morning a few hours after you post. also i love the botanical garden videos but maybe im a minority haha anyway, thank you for all of the information and for always including brad because hes so sweet and adorable. i commend anyone who is brave enough to put themselves out there, i personally could never! i think if you did collaborate with other planty people that would be fun.
Thank you :) appreciate it !
Super helpful video thank you 🙏 🌱💚 As a new planty You Tuber this video was packed full of useful tips. I’ll likely even watch it again to make sure I didn’t miss anything 👍🏻😂
Glad it was helpful :)
📸 Thanks for sharing. I hope Santa brings me some Lego flowers. I would love to see you collaborate with Sean from OnlyPlants. You two are my favorite plant people.
Thanks :) That would be so fun!
📷 it's amazing that you've found something you love to do and turning it into a career. Really great insights into being a content creator!
Thank you:)
I Binge watch your videos lol
Then I'll go back and rewatch others
Hehe thank you so much!!
📷 As a subscriber it's nice to know how to be a "better" viewer so that I can support you so that you can continue creating. Wish I could watch all of your videos right away but I live on the opposite side of the world so that's not really feasible due to the time difference 😅 But I will try to watch them the same day I see that there's a new one 🙂
I found your channel when I was searching moss pole related hashtags on Instagram, but didn't subscribe to your channel on UA-cam until after I had created my first moss pole. It was unfortunately NOT made according to your recommendations, and I found your content again when I was troubleshooting why it wasn't working. I had made every mistake really: I put a too mature monstera deliciosa on a moss pole that was poorly constructed using the wrong kind of wire mesh (hexagonal and sort of flimsy), it was too wide and therefore contained too much sphagnum moss, it was in a too big pot with a potting mix that was not chunky and not well draining enough. That monstera sadly died (duh🙄😜) but I managed to take propagations and will try again when they are ready (I want to put a monstera deliciosa on a moss pole even though you don't think they need it, because I think it will look more neat that way). After seeing your content I got curious about different sorts of climbing aroids (had never heard of most of them before) so now I've put an el choco red, a verrucosum and a regular pothos on moss poles that are constructed using your techniques, approximately 1,5-2 months ago. Only the el choco has started to attach so far, but if it works I will definitely start recommending your youtube channel (and specifically the instructions for how to make moss poles) in the Swedish Facebook plant groups I'm in, because I see a lot of questions about moss poles there. I don't want to recommend something I've not tried and had success with myself though, but hopefully proof will be in the pudding (😉) and some of of my plants will make it and hopefully thrive this time 🪴🌿
📹 Great insight! Thank you! And if you change your mind about merch, put me down for a SPG tank 🙌🏼📸
Thanks Pablo :)
📸 great video. Thanks for you insight 😊
Thanks for watching :)
Hi from Romania! I've been following you for so long that it took me a minute but I think I remember now that I saw you first on Instagram in a collab video with another guy who does moss poles and came over to UA-cam very shortly after.
Thanks for the ongoing support :)
First one! 🙈🥰
📸 I appreciate your honesty.You are very matter of fact about plants and plant care, your yearly report videos about a particular plant are unique on youtube (I can't think of anybody else at the moment), I love the vlogs, even though they seem to not be for everybody and I trully appreciate that you don't split your subscribers into privileged (aka paid membership) and lowly peasants. I always watch your videos to the end, but I'll try to do it within the 24 hours. Anything I can do, I will, so you don't feel forced to recommend us mental therapy or socks or something like that😊
hehe thanks :)
Your advice has given me the ability to successfully grow indoors plants after a lifetime of growing outdoors. I was never able to keep a house plant alive. I found you when I saw a UA-cam short of you chopping a plant "OH NO" That one still makes me laugh.
great to hear :) happy growing :)
The lego flowers are 👌
Very good info !
You came across u tube.
💚🍀🌵🌿💚
Thank you:)
📸 I found your channel on UA-cam. Insta is somehow not my thing, tiktok even less so.😅
My first video was your Adansonii Spotlight. I've been a loyal subscriber ever since.💚
Thank you so much!
Appreciate the ongoing support :)
Love all your videos, long, short, however they come.
I'd watch whatever you put out every day of the week if you did it.
Good luck for your house dream, I'd love to see you've renovating dream come true and I'd watch it.
Lego is the best 🎉
📸
Thank you!! Really appreciate it :)
I usually watch your vids within 24 hrs but this one slipped through. I like how you do the thumbnails, yours aren't worded like click bait, I don't like it when ppl do that... There's no drama on your channel. You are authentic.
I love the lengthy vids. Sometimes, I will play your re-pot vids while I do my dishes, lol. Haven't won the lotto yet, lol. You need to do that thing where ppl can 'buy you a cup of coffee' or super chats when you're live. If everyone sent you $5 you'd be on your way to saving for that house ❤
Thank you!! Appreciate the support :) I wanna keep it drama free but unfortunately drama/click bait & negativity is the best way to get views up :/
Found you on UA-cam- a short - shaking a plant!
Interesting topic.
I think you have influenced/educated many into using mosspoles and perhaps into trying out/purchasing certain plants (to grow them on mosspoles) 😅
Like you said, it probably helped that you could already show the proof, give your watchers enthusiasm about trying things and goals for what they wanted theirs plants/houses/collections to look like
Good to know about that first 24 hours..
I tend to sometimes leave the vids that I am sure Ill enjoy until I have gone through some I am not sure of yet… as in save the best for last. Will definitely stop doing that now! (Also wont be stressing about watching all new content within 24 hours, watching UA-cam is to relax 😅)
Does pausing a video and watching the rest of it at a later time have an impact as well?
Subscribing…. I don’t subscribe to channels that I would watch a video from every now and then (even though its free and might help the content creator). I find the impulse of “hey theres a new video” very disruptive if it is something that I am not interested in. Which led to “only” being subscribed to a bunch of channels at a time of which I actually will watch most of the content.
If someone has 50% plant shopping/hauls and 50% how they grow their plants, I will not be subscribing even though I am potentially interested in half of their videos
(Just sharing for insight)
Found you on UA-cam
People who watch content shouldn’t hate, stop watching if you don’t agree/approve, its that easy…
Sometimes I do wonder if I should drop a line to explain why if I didn’t finish a vid, and always decide against it because I don’t want them to feel discouraged/hurt… then again it would have provided a useful tip maybe
As for views… there is always so much new content… and people have so little time in comparison… sometimes some peoples lives gets too busy to watch anything at al 🤔. To me as a viewer it sometimes feels like too many things wanting attention at the same time (especially when 10 or so channels upload a new 30-60 mins video on the same day).
Getting 2k views (I assume in the first couple of days) means that 2k people found your content one of the most interesting/important things to do in their spare time (I mean… how many hours of spare time does an average person have). Maybe its not enough income wise, but it is still a huge compliment to you yourself and the content that you create 😊
And gosh I ended up writing an email-comment again 😅
Hope thats ok 🌱
📷
Thank you :) all good on the lengthy, gives me good insight :) Pausing the video doesn't matter :) it's total watch-time I believe, doesn't matter if that's in one sitting or across a few sessions :)
