Hello I'm from NYC and I want to personally thank you for helping me take care of my Jungle (127 plants). They all survived the winter for the 1st time, thanks to your Great advice. Thank You! 🎉🎊
@@Trini4th awesome thank you 😊
I use old candles as planters! Once the candle has burnt down I use boiling water to get rid of the old wax then I have a pretty glass jar perfect as a decorative pot for small plants :)
Great idea!!
I use them also. I freeze them And tap the wax so it breaks up in chips. It's easier and the chips can be reused in a candle warmer or liquid potpourri warmer. Add a wick as its cooling and boom! another candle
Yaa, me too (:
I recently propagated my grandfather's 92 years old European rose bush and I finally got it to roots and ngl I started crying 😂 I've watched this thing grow my hole life so glad I have a peace ❤
How old! 😮
The sponge for cuttings is so clever! If you just cut a slit in the side of it when you get them out you could always reuse it too.
I went to the thrift store the other day and got 15 pots including two self-watering ones and some support sticks for less than 15 euros! Definitely worth checking out a local one, can save you a ton of money and sometimes you can find some really good stuff too. Lamps to put grow bulbs in is an other thing worth looking for. And of course, if you get fed up with the pots or other things you have and they're still in good shape you can always take them back and someone else might find them useful 💛
Thanks Mette. Nice ideas. Love repurposing things.
I got a tip about the sponge technique: You don't have to poke holes in it, but tu make some cuts through it. YOu can push the stems through the cuts. Tey will stay in place with ease. The advantages are: You will not hurt the fine roots, while trying to take the plant out of the sponge. Also you can resuse the sponge for several times with ease.
Good shout actually 👌
The sponge and cinnamon tip is inspired. This channel makes me want to get back into growing again. Respect.
Great to hear! Thanks
Can I say, just hearing your voice makes me happy! The added wonderful plant info is just a bonus!!
Wow, thank you!
I agree. He does have a very soothing and pleasant voice.
It's almost 3 a.m. and I found this channel. Just started propagating plants to put in a yard sell this summer. These are such helpful instructions. Have an old glass coffee pot in my garage that I will be using. I love this channel. Everything is 👍
Awesome, thanks very much 😁
I started on rose bushs and lilac's with honey and it works wonders
So much knowledge, so impressive that every single video you make always has new things for all of us to learn! You are by far my favorite channel! Always such a pleasure to watch you!
Wow, thank you!
Totally agree. Excellent information and advice ❤
I have a plam, and keeping it straight, is a constant effort
Wow, this is the first time I’ve heard or seen anyone prop a rose 🌹. This is new to me. Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome 😊
Sponge idea was great to keep leaves out of water thanks
Glad it was helpful!
My coffea Arabica plant is in a grow pot inside of a large coffee mug! It was definitely fitting! I use champagne flutes that had never been used for water props, the narrow top prevents them from sliding in and rotting and they're skinny enough they can fit right in under the lights next to the mother plant!
That's a great idea with the champagne flutes!
I also use champagne flutes to prop! But last night, when reaching for another plant, my wine glass full of swiss cheese props hit the floor and shattered. It was my elbows fault, not mine 🤣🤣🤣
So, Morticia Addams knew what she was doing when she snipped the heads of her roses 🤔🌹😂 great tip btw, I'm going to try it.
Didn’t think of that 😁
Love the sponge idea! Makes so much sense yet I have never heard that before. Thanks for all the great plant advice.
Glad it was helpful!
Interesting video, I really liked the propagation part. Thanks. Love and Peace.
Thank you 😊
At the dollar general I found 100pack sheesh kabob sticks for a buck!! Super great but☺️✌️🎶✨🎶
Wonderful stuff 💚 A really nice free source of rooting hormone is Pothos. I've found a small cutting helps other plants root like mad. Even my snow rose! With a little devil's ivy in the water, the snow rose cuttings don't even drop leaves.
Great tip 👌😁👍
I use old plastic fast food cups as pots! I have peperomias and ivy growing in taco bell cups lol. I also use an old Styrofoam egg carton with holes poked in the bottom to propagate lots of succulents at once
Like it!
I have propagate Kalanchoi and Hoya leaves…both grown n kalanchoi produced buds to flowers
Brother yours advice /ideas brilliant,thanks a Loooootttttssss
I tried kalanchoe recently. One of the four leaves grew roots and the others slowly disintegrated. I think it needed a better soil or gritty mixture. I'd be interested to know how u did yours?I don't even know how often to water or anything else and I always find these plants difficult to care for but I keep trying as they are so beautiful .
Always a pleasure Firoza 😁
They're very tricky to get to flower again. Similar to poinsettias which you can find a video about on this channel.
@@princepalmer3329 my compost mix with perlite,orchid burk and vermiculite
@@firozapatel9811 that's great. THANKYOU.
I find a lot of cheap and pretty pots and planters at my local thrift shop and yard sales and I have saved a lot of nursery pots from perennials and shrubs that I planted over the years. I have all sizes and they fit inside each other and don't take up too much space in my garden shed.
There's also a local dollar store in my village where I can get all sizes of containers to put under my pots to catch water...and I saved all of my Chinese take-out containers from where I used to live before I moved. Not only do they make nice 'greenhouses' to start seeds or for rooting cuttings, they also come in handy in the kitchen for storing leftovers. 🤣
You’ve got it spot on 👍😁
Hey anyone watching this video who is a plant nerd has never chucked away a wooden chop stick 😅
I always kept them even before I got into plants. So useful and I like the decor/ writing / symbols on them.
Keeping them for orchids, now I just need 50 orchids 😂 instead of three.
Me saving anything that's glass 😂
👏👏👏😊❣️
OMG 🤣 right on! Hey at a dollar general I get 100pack sheesh kabob sticks for a buck!! Pretty useful peace to you my fellow human✌️🎶✨☺️
I bought a set of carbide drill bits (diamond bits work too) so I can add drainage holes to anything I want to use as a planter; it wasn't too expensive (less than $20 CAD, assuming you already have a drill) and can drill through ceramic, stoneware, et c. For earthenware/terra cotta, I use masonry drill bits.
Just be careful and take your time while drilling - don't apply pressure and let the drill bit do the work to prevent cracking, and pour water over the bit and planter throughout the process to prevent overheating. And wear eye protection.
Thanks for the tip
Yoghurt tubs, the big ones, few holes in tve bottom, use the lid has a saucer, perfect
Because i do not hsve so much money, I usemany of these ideas. Fun and cheap
I like using Turkish tea glasses as repurpose pots, and I often use thrifted wine bottle stands (the ones with wavy circles on the side) and stools as makeshift plant stands. Another is using floral wire or mini zip ties to make all my grow light wires hang out of the way of tripping while ties fade into furniture.
Very thrifty, I like it 👍
I use soda bottles or water bottles, cut in half and put holes in the bottom. Sometimes I cut them in half and put the top upside down and into the bottom and leave the top open, and don't drill holes in the bottom, then it keeps moisture inside, this is good if you live in the dessert.
Neat idea 👍
Thank you. Great ideas.
Thanks for watching!
didn't know that honey and cinnamon can work as rooting hormone accelerators. Always thought cinnamon is for fungus prevention. Thank you, quite informative
Sure can. Thanks Olia
Awesome vid as always brother
Appreciate it!
Thanks again for another insightful video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great ideas! Thank you Richard.
You bet!
Awesome tips as usual!I just got grow lights !I have a vaporizer on too and watering less and my new plants look great!You helped so much!
Super, thanks Monique
Your channel has quickly become my favorite Plant Channel :) Your tips will help my plants thrive! I've killed too many T-T
Thank you 😊
I just bought rooting powder the other day. I always have cinnamon and honey in my house. Should have watched this video first.
Ah well it’s still worth having probably 😁
Great advice, thank you!
You bet!
9 ridiculously simple plant hacks that experts use 👉 ua-cam.com/video/pMzRIdPreaY/v-deo.html
I will definitely start using sponges to support cuttings for rooting. As soon as I saw you float the cuttings supported by the sponge, I knew the exact bowl I’d be using. I root cuttings in kombucha bottles, sauce bottles, and unusually-shaped glass jars and bottles.
Wonderful!
The sponhe tip is amazing,
Glad you think so!
Great ideas ! Recycling is my way of living. I enjoy it. I visit also very often Vinnies ( thrift store) , where even ceramic pots can be found for 4 $ or less. Thanks for the tip for roses. / Mona lavender is easy to propagate from leaves as well, and pothos plant.
Thrift stores are great for finding all sorts of treasure
I love roses and I did this last year I hope to see new roses
Nice one 👍
I like all these ideas, especially the ones about repurposing containers. (I have to admit that I sometimes buy an item in a specific container because I have ideas for it after I use/consume the product.)
Great stuff 👍
I was out of large pots for my asparagus fern so I cut the top off a gallon water jug and made some drainage holes. Doesn't look the nicest but it will work until you can get a proper pot. Honestly I could probably paint the outside and make it look nicer but it was a temporary set up.
Also I cut the bottom off those Jugs for water trays too.
Plastic meat containers that are wrapped in plastic wrap, egg cartons, and bakery containers, I've used for propagation trays
Old pasta jars for vases for propagating, and candle glass is prettier
The yogurt cups I keep for plant saucers for my 2 in pots
Bamboo skewers are the best for me to see if soil is dry
I go to the good will a lot too, love saving money ❤ hope this helped anyone in a pinch!
Love it 😊
I`m using my old converse shoes... they got holes on the side and it looks very nice
Neat idea 👍
with glass and ceramic objects you can try making a hole in the bottom by submerging it upside down in the water then lightly tapping a nail on top of it, making drainage holes
👍
I propagated a donkeys tail...So easy. Hello from Canada
Hi 👋
Thank you ❤ for your information.I got my water meter from Amazon I love it no guess work now
Wonderful!
I reuse lots of items for my bonsai collection such as the bottoms of larger plastic planters, I cut off about 4-5 inches of the bottoms of plastic buckets, plastic trays that contained some sort of meal, the bottoms of old plastic waste cans, really, anything that may look like a natural planter! I do this not to specifically recycle products but because anything with the name bonsai in it most likely means waaay more money (Pots, tools, soils,and certainly the trees!) when trying to purchase them from a nursery or big box store. Almost ALL of my trees I've collected from my own backyard. I have a couple that I've grown from seeds collected from other states but mostly I get them from the birds that live here they eat seeds they've found and then either excrete them out or bury them to have later! I have many almond bonsai trees and a few I've just left to grow in the ground. Funny how things come about when you're truly into them! Great channel my friend 👍
Nice one thanks for sharing 👍
Last year I drilled the bottom of two mugs and used them as vases..
Love that 😊
We can use drilling machine for drainage hole. I am using this hack on clay pots and old coffee mugs
Great shout 👍
Whenever we are done with a glass jar of any kind such as pickles 🥒 or jam jar and I youse them for everything plant related
Perfect!
I have never thrown my sons fire brigade gum boots. Decorated them with plants.
👍
🙂
Love the sponge idea
So glad!
About half a dozen of my plants are homed in empty candle jars, cheap from the likes of B&Mor Wilkos. Multitudes of shapes, sizes and colours for less than a fiver
Like that!
❤ all your videos
Thanks 😊
Thank you!
You bet!
uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. I will def try this with my ZZ plant! epic tips! Tnx!
Nice one!
Bryophyllum pinnatum plants can grow from leafs. I did it several times
👍👍👍
Hi hi Sheffield Jennifer from Trinidad do you have bromillards in your collection? i love them as a houseplant and they are really beautiful. Just wanted to say thank you for all yr great videos and Merry Christmas to you and your family God bless be safe and Happy New Year
I did have one this year but it kinda died. I think this is normal once the flowers die off. Do you have them outside? Merry Christmas to you! 😁
Yeah i do they love early morning sunlight they look real lovely and thanks be safe God bless
Thanks!
Thank you for the super thanks 🙏 I
African Violets is easy to propagate from leaf cutting.
Instead of poking holes cut slots in your sponge it will grip your cuttings and you dont risk damage when removing them.
another top vid mate thanks!
Great tip!
I have used echeveria leaves to prop, there was one which was almost successful, as soon as I changed it's soil medium thinking it would grow better if it had a container for it's own. It flopped.
All the other leaves failed, eventually turning black (the stems too). I have 2 Succulent leaves which now still look pale green and hopeful.
I used the box method on a Monstera stem which I accidentally ended up cutting without the leaf. I opened it after ages some time back and I saw a smol shoot. Hoping to repot it and wait for growth
I'm collecting clear takeout containers and plastic bottles and glass bottles as much as I can to water propogate. I will try using soil with glass jars more
Thank you for your video!!
Ooh the sponge one. Can't wait to try it soon
Great, thanks for watching 👍
Some great tips. I have a big pot of black and green zz plants that I planted together when they were in small pots. The green is growing taller than the black one. I rooted some, I have 1 left and it's been in a pot for months. I haven't given up on it yet. I'm not sure why it's not getting more shoots on it. Have a blessed day.
Takes time sometimes
Great ideas
Thanks Sofia 👍
thank you so much, thousands and thousands of plants die cause - 9 - out of - 10 - of us don't know care for them
Absolutely! Thanks Francis 👍
Thanks for the info.!
High five! I use plastic containers as pots and give them away or donate them to the free plant club at my local library.
Any ZZ plant tips?
Thank you. I've got this ua-cam.com/video/y7k8Ghu3K7o/v-deo.html
Propagating roses is easy with a very high success rate if you remove ALL the leaves from the stem and use the exact same method as winter sowing in milk jugs or used 2 liter bottles. Humidity is key. Take cuttings at pruning time, pot up in a milk jug, etc. leave it in morning sun only - outdoors. Walk away and a couple months later you'll be ready to remove the lid and let it grow on till fall planting.
Thanks for the tips! 👍
I use the jars from candles once the candle is burned to propagate cuttings in water. They're basically little vases.
Perfect 👍
FANTASTIC
Thanks 😊
Please, could you do a longer video about using food waste for growing food at home ? I'm really bad at it. I watched some video, but my seeds always rot...
I'll have a think...
Most seeds need to be cured to avoid rotting. Give them a good period to dry out properly before planting them. Otherwise they will absolutely rot from the inside. I find a paper envelope for a week or 2 works best. Tomato seeds on the other hand need to be soaked until the seed and pulp separates. The pulp will float and the seeds sink to the bottom. Can take a few days, but once that step is done you can rinse and dry them and use them for the next growing season. ( I have grown A LOT of tomatoes from one of my father's beefsteak tomatoes this way and they get better every year.
You should never regrow seeds from squash you purchase or grew yourself if you plan on consuming them in case they have cross pollinated with a different type of squash. Fruit grown from seeds that have cross pollinated different types of squash or gourds can be fatally toxic. Better purchase seeds from a proper seed producer for that particular food. Unless you want to grow them for ornamental purposes, in which case, save and dry the seeds grow them to your heart's content 😁
6.32 i use aloe jel for root harmones.
Absolutely
I 've used ceramic dog bowls and casserole dishes
Nice!
I too have many jade plants. Inside and out. Every time I find a leaf I just lay them on the soil. So easy!! I've got a begonia polka dot leaf atm which has rooted in water. Just waiting on delivery of hydroponic pot and gonna try growing it in water I don't know how long for or if this is a good way? But I killed off the mother plant by overwatering or underwatering? Love the sponge idea. Going to do this as I'm trying to keep the leaves out of water by using a small sherry glass but it's a pain.Thanks for another great vidio.
Sarah.Devon.
Cheers Sarah. Jade's are surprisingly easy to propagate aren't they. What's your process for the Begonia. I tried a leaf prop and nothing happened.
@@SheffieldMadePlantsI did nothing special. It fell off the same stem after a new leaf had grown and I just stuck it straight into a glass of warm filtered water and put it in the corner of windowsill. It did take a good six months I'd say before it showed Any sign of rooting then the roots just grew fast from then.They are about 1 half inch now. They grew like a fleshy green mound first of all around the base of the stem.
@@SheffieldMadePlants Hi. Well the leaf went bad that i put in the mix of spagnum and clay pebbles in the hydro pot after sucessfully growing the roots but I did lay the leftover stem onto spagnum moss inside a propagater I made from the two cartons from mushrooms I bought and now I have a tint plant popping out from the moss that now has four tiny leaves.yahay!!! Now what do I do? I don't know when to pot up or even what into? I'm thinking soil and spagnum.?what do you think? Sarah.Devon.
@@SheffieldMadePlants oh I also put another begonia polka dot leaf cutting in water and this time it rooted in just a few weeks and without the fleshy mound. I don't know what to do with this one this time because of the first one going bad. Im wondering about growing it in just water but then I'd have to feed it somehow wouldn't I?
@@princepalmer3329 let the little plant get a bit bigger then transfer to a light soil mix. I wouldn't mix moss with soil because it retains too much moisture
Great ideas as ever, thank you! I'm just a bit puzzled about what you do with all the new duplicated plants you've made. Surely you can't really keep them all?
Keep them or sell them or give em away
Besides takeaway containers, egg cartons, juice boxes, chipped cups, glasses and bowls, I've used broken cooking pots and colanders as plant pots. Once it can hold soil, it's open season for me. My next experiment is to use strainers/filters. Your sponge idea is genius and I'll be trying that pretty soon with velvety leaf plants like episcias, African violet and my watermelon peperomia. Thanks for sharing.
Great stuff! I'll try some of those
I’ll clean out a candle that’s burned all the way through and use the glass case
👍
Melt the wax , add it to a tiny cake tin and insert a wick ... can be used as a floating candle !
Alovera can be considered as rooting harmone
💯
Those chopsticks you used weren't disposable. ;) I hope you got some fried rice and replaced the pretty chopsticks with cheap ones. Lol.
I know, I didn't have any on hand so used those for illustrative purposes 😅
I believe the Christmas Cactus can be propagate and need at least nodes!
👍
Question about the succulent/jade plant propagation: once they grow those new little buds, do you detach the leaf they're growing from? Do you plant it?
Plant it up and then wait for it to die naturally
I have a rose bush in my yard,can I take cuttings from it,and if so,do I need to wait until it blooms??? It came with my place ,and the color is very beautiful, so I would like to have another😊
In think it’s better to do it before blooming
@@SheffieldMadePlants thank you ,you are so helpful, I plan on becoming a member in July, after my home is paid off in June, 10 years I went without,now I get to splurge, on myself, my plants,and yard ,oh happy day
Re honey or cinnamon when rooting plants, must it be Cinnamomum or Cassia, or are they interchangeable in this case?
The stronger the better. Ceylon is the best but these two should work
I once tried to propagate a jade plant leaf by placing it in soil, but it didn't work. Should I do something with the leaf besides sticking it in the soil and giving it enough light and water?
That should have worked really. You could try putting a dome over it to get it some humidity (like a glass or something)
A few weeks? Depends on the succulent variety. I have some succulents which will sprout roots in one to two weeks and some take like 5 to 7 weeks it seems like. Anyway to speed it up? I think grey curl is one that takes a long time
Better to under promise and over deliver👍
Tried zz propagation million times unsuccessfully!
Patience is the key. Takes an age
Hi Sheffield Gardener how can i find out the names of my plants? I live in a beautiful island call Trinidad in the Caribbean and i love plants like you all. Come visit smtimes you will love the beautiful beaches lovely scenery and friendly ppl like me lol thanks
I'd love to visit Trinidad looks gorgeous. Try Google Lens for identifying plants
Thank you very much wld love for you all to visit smtime be safe all the same God bless
If a leaf falls off a jade plant can you still save that leaf by growing new roots off of it ?
Absolutely
I use the chopsticks too.
👌
Fn genius🤭💚
😁
i am still trying to figure out my prefered way of propagation.
i do have a perlite box or 2 i can put in a ton of stuff at the same time and it works well too so far but i m not really sure i like it. To me, propagating plants is super fun because every day you wake up and walk around the house checking all those little glasses and stuff to see if there are new tiny roots somewhere. and having them in glasses for water propagation is like... allready having a small plant somewhere putting some nice green into your home.
however storing 20 30 propagations inside a perlite box you re not supposed to open all the time so the humidity stays in... is simply not fun... its as if you would put all your plants inside a closet so you cant see them anymore
These days I’m leaning more towards water just because it takes up less space. I find it slower though. You can open the prop box no problem
@@SheffieldMadePlants prop boxes are 1. ugly 2. take too much space as one item. i can have 20 propagations sitting in small containers around the house no problem. it looks nice and all of them take little space individually. but having a giant prop box sitting somewhere where it gets enough light just kills so much of the room aesthetics somehow.
💚
I've tried propagating plants just like you've explained, but some of them drooped and died in just a few days. What could be the problem?
Normally a lack of light or a lack of humidity
i'm growing one from seed. i didn't water it in 2 days and it turned all dry. can i still save it?
Sorry, what are you growing from seed?
Chopsticks are also great for aerating the soil and for planting spiky plants. I pretty much use chopsticks for everything!
Oh yeah I use them for that too 😁
Hi i love plants and pets. Did anyone figure out working method to prevent cats from scratching home plants? Thank you
That's beyond my expertise 😁
My cat has tried to ‘play’ with plants but then I trained him. Also he had a scratch pole AND a round scratch pad - I sprinkled catnip on it. He’s not interested in plants anymore (apart from when he seeks attention..)
Die schwamm Variante ist nicht gerade nachhaltig und passt irgendwie so gar nicht dazu, dass man ansonsten Kaffeetassen wiederverwendet. Das ist Kunststoff und sollte wirklich nicht für diesen Zweck genutzt werden. Kommt den schlechten Tips auf Tiktok ziemlich nahe..... weiss nicht, was 7ch davon halten soll
I also use yogurt and soup plastic pots instead of buying nursery pots. They fits perfectly in a ceramic pot from Ikea (the white with a little line design who cost almost nothing).
I propagated my jade a lot! And I try with other succulents but I can't get a nice leaf...
Recently I buy a beautiful enclosure made for spiders, but I will use it for my jewel orchid 😅. It has a slide door so it is easy to get acces to the plants. They were cheaper than mini green house and they are as good for humidity, but have more ventilation tho since it's supposed to be for spiders 😅
That sounds like a nice set up
👍👍👌🤗
I cant get my ZZ leaves to root. Anybody out there?
Normallly more light is needed
The word is learned. Not learnt
Both actually
