I have one that I bought from Lidl. It's a gorgeous little thing, and I bought it because I loved the name and the story behind it. However, I never put any of the vital research or time into it. I started studying Ag. at UCD, and thus have learned a little more about plants. It's doing really badly right now, so I'm hoping to kick the little fella back into shape. I of course need to change the pot because as per usual, Lidl sold it in a pot that was much too small. I think I may need to change the soil as well because root rot was instantly a problem.
Thank you for this video. I mistakenly overwatered my old clusia houseplant recently and I’ve watched the leaves fall off all the top branches. The bottom ones can probably be rescued if cut them off and propagate them. I had no idea how to go that but then I found your video, yay! Gonna try both soil and water and hopefully at least one of the branches will survive🤞🏼🙏🏼🌱🪴
Thank you very much for your video, very informative. Do you have any good tip for getting the plant to flower? I hear you say that it is not likely to flower indoors, I will move it outside as soon as the temperature will allow me to do so. Any other suggestion? many thanks!
Just dropped $709 on 53 Clusia for my backyard to replace the ugly cherry hedges that came with my new house. That’s a lot to me but still less costly than a new fence. So wish me luck! Greetings from south Florida / north miamj!
Hey! I have a question, my clusia rosea has developed some small brown spotts/dotts on some of the upper leafs, what does that mean? Why has that happened and how do i care for it?
Clusia often get brown spots on the upper leaves due to trauma to the leaves, but its hard to be sure without more info. They're fairly disease resistant, so its unlikely to be this, especially on upper leaves. Excess direct sunlight could also cause issues with brown spots on the leaves, as could pests. ope you manage to get the problem worked out. Best wishes Andrew :)
Hey Andrew would you be able to cover citrus trees? I have a lemon tree and just want take care of it correctly. My kentia palm is looking great thanks to your video.
Hi Stephen Thanks for the suggestion. I'll definitely be doing a video on citrus trees soon. I'm a huge fan of indoor citrus trees, whether fruit bearing or not. One of my favorite projects has been growing a lemon tree from a pip over the last few years. Such a delight to grow. Best wishes Andrew
Hi, I was wondering if there are seeds for this plant.. I'm building in West Africa and want to try it there. Please help West Africa and want to try it there. Please help
I've had several cuttings in water and soil for a month and nothing happened. They continue growing for a while but after a while the stem gets brown and it dies. I've tried to put them fresh in water, I've tried to let them dry for a couple of days and I've tried letting them dry for 2 weeks. No difference. No rooting hormone so far though. How do I troubleshoot? Any tips?
I rooted a leaf and it grew nicely. Just noticed rust spots underneath the leaves. The front part is totally dark green. I think it might be infected ?? Wondering if I should get rid of it and try a new cutting. What would be the reason ?? Carolyn Mack. Thank you
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. My autograph tree is kokedama which I find works really well and looks great. Today however I noticed one of the leaves snapped and at the edges where it snapped there’s lots of orange goo like sap, and i’ve noticed these orange spots appearing on some of the other leaves too. Is this something to worry about and what could I do to help this?
Thank you for making this video! Very informative as always! I have one of these at home and I want to propagate when the winter is over. You mentioned that propagating is easy to do via stem cuttings and I know that it's also possible to just cut off a whole branch and put it in water or soil, but my tree is so symmetrical (and also quite small) that I'd rather not cut off that much if it's not necessary. Is it possible to propagate with a single leaf? Maybe if I carve a bit into the main stem when i cut it off? It has one or two leaves that aren't very attractive and I wouldn't mind cutting off.
I have propagated them several times with no issue. I usually clip a two to three inch branch, and literally stick them in soil, water one and leave it alone. The lower leaves ALWAYS die but the upper lives always survive. In fact, I’ve turn ONE 4 ft Clusias into FIVE plants now in my yard. They do grown, also, They just love sandy soils near where I live in Miami. Wish you the best on your propagation!
Very pleasant video, could listen to it while doing other stuff without worrying about missing out on anything visual, and for such a strong accent it was very clear and easy to follow! 10/10 would watch again
Mine has root rot. I feel so bad. I have taken cuttings from her and hopefully I can water propagate. My first plant, and didn’t realised I was killing with kindness until it was too late.
The leaves of My Clusia rosea changed colour to a light unhealthy green with brown spots. Not sure if I overwater it or if it has got a disease. I checked the umidità of the soil is about 6 our of 10…. Any help is welcome
My clusia was doing great, then we put it outside for a couple of weeks in May but the temps at night were above 50. It probably got too much rain. We have had it inside since June now but it is not recovering well. Leaves turning yellow and falling off. Any suggestions?
Hi Andrew. Great video thank you very informative. My Daughter in Law, has had one for years. Ever since January it is becoming very unhealthy. The stem is covered in a white waxy substance all over. I wish I can send you a picture. I think it might insect damage. Any advice would be great please? Thanks Natalie
I got one at my local Home Depot as a tropical plant thought it was pretty and brought it home. I have a fresh water fish tank and I give it to my other houseplants. Can the autograph plant have fish water as well?
My son left this plant in is empty apartment for several months. How do I know if it can be revived? The leaves are wilted and the stems closet to the soil are brown, similar to a tree, but top stems are green. Any help would be appreciated.
I had to cut back one of the stems because it was getting g too heavy. It was hard to cut, I cut the brown stem part and now the remaining stem looks dry and shriveled. Any tips?
Thanks for the video. I bought one of those cause I felt in love it once I saw it, but I am not being very good at looking after it. It is losing leaves often, though they are not going brown not yellow. So sad :( hopefully it is just because it is winter now.
I have a Clusia and it has some brown spots on it... i see that you also have this especially on the newer leafs 7:47 Do you maybe know what this might be?
I had the same exact problem with my clusia! In my case I found that I had a serious millepede infestation and had to repot it. If the problem isn’t fixed yet, I suggest taking a good look at your soil
I have a very large three in my backyard that nothing will grow under. Can you do a video on this or provide any ideas! (Other than Clusia!) Thank you!
One of my favorite plants. It's so easy to care for and it just looks pretty.
mine is just dying .. dunno what i am doing wrong

I just bought mine today from lidl. Thanks for the heads up about the soil and pot.
If you have to be careful with the watering why can you grow it fully in water?
Didn't know about this plant, but it's cool! Thanks for the straightforward and thorough explanation.

well, thank you so much, this has been the most informative video on clusia rosea that I found on yt, and again thank you for answering my questions!

Wow, this will look amazing after it matures in a few years. It is such an attractive plant.
I love how you say “root” super cute

@@smartgardenguide2550 great i look forward to seeing this. A video on cuttings aswel would be great. I'm thinking of investing in a cold frame.

Would a cactus soil mix or aroid mix be good please?
Very informative video. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I just bought the plant. Feeling confident to keep it happy now. Thank you.
A really good overview of growing this fascinating plant indoors. Thank you.

Why are the Leaf is fall off
My plant leaves are turning yellow and then black! I’ve had it indoors in the same spot for over 1 year and it has seemed healthy until now! Help😢
Very pleasant video, could listen to it while doing other stuff without worrying about missing out on anything visual, and for such a strong accent it was very clear and easy to follow!
10/10 would watch again
Mine has root rot. I feel so bad. I have taken cuttings from her and hopefully I can water propagate.
My first plant, and didn’t realised I was killing with kindness until it was too late.
I have killed my plants through overwatering...opps! Now I am going to take cuttings of the tips to try to save it!

My plant is new to me….and I’m losing leaves already, what could be wrong??
I got one at my local Home Depot as a tropical plant thought it was pretty and brought it home. I have a fresh water fish tank and I give it to my other houseplants. Can the autograph plant have fish water as well?
My son left this plant in is empty apartment for several months. How do I know if it can be revived? The leaves are wilted and the stems closet to the soil are brown, similar to a tree, but top stems are green. Any help would be appreciated.
Mine has dropped all of its leaves, due to the cold i believe. Will they grow back?
I just bought one today clusia rosea, 😊
Dude great video I just subscribed, love that plant Clusia very clean and well cared....thanks
I had to cut back one of the stems because it was getting g too heavy. It was hard to cut, I cut the brown stem part and now the remaining stem looks dry and shriveled. Any tips?
Thanks for the video. I bought one of those cause I felt in love it once I saw it, but I am not being very good at looking after it. It is losing leaves often, though they are not going brown not yellow. So sad :( hopefully it is just because it is winter now.
would like to know clusia rosea bend its stem is it due to water shortage or any other reason?
Do you need bare leaf nodes on the stem to propagate this plant? Or will the roots just grow out of the stem, like with a ZZ plant?
Hello could you please do a video on the zz plant? Thank you :)
I love the way you say “root” super cute
very good video, thank you!
thank you! this was really useful
Such a great video, thank you!
I have a Clusia and it has some brown spots on it... i see that you also have this especially on the newer leafs 7:47 Do you maybe know what this might be?

I have had Clusia plants for many years, and this is a very normal occurrence. Nothing to worry about.
Wonderful 😊
Great video. The leaves look just like my peperomia obtusifolia.
I'd totally agree, the leaves are very similar to Peperomia obtusifolia in many ways.
I have a very large three in my backyard that nothing will grow under. Can you do a video on this or provide any ideas! (Other than Clusia!) Thank you!
