I'm convinced Mr Sheffield could make plants entertaining even for people who have zero interest in plants 🤣
I second. 👌🏽
And you would be correct!!❤️🤣
Thanks!
need a love of dad humor to rly enjoy him imo
I was thinking the same thing. Mr Sheffield has come a long way. I watched an OLD video the other day and it’s like night and day. It’s like watching a character arc. 😂 thank you for the entertainment and useful info!
What I love about Mr. Sheffield is that he's not afraid to show us his clunkers. So many plant channels just show you their wonderful specimens, big and perfect. I often suspect they've run out to the plant store, dropped some bucks and are now telling you exactly the same info you'd get from a plant resource guide. This guy is for real. He doesn't have a sunroom or a greenhouse, sometimes he screws up with a plant, and his advice is practical and useful. Living in an apartment, the mess of repotting was a real challenge. I saw him using a large plastic tray/tub for this and my dim light bulb lit up. So simple and easy and now repotting and the cleanup are easy-peasy. And use a bloody moisture meter! Watering isn't a mystery with one and they're not expensive. And why not buy it from him as a way to say 'thanks'?
You’re a ⭐️
@@SheffieldMadePlants You've helped me save more than one plant, and even inspired me to give a calathea a try. So far, so good on that one. I've had plant collections a few times in the past, changing life situations meant that I lost custody of them, but now I'm housing-stable and while my apartment is more or less a cave. grow lights and choosing the right plant for a given location means I've got a bit of nature around me. Wish I could get to my Ikea, but it's not conveniently located. In the olden days there seemed like lots of retailers carried houseplants, but now it's pretty limited in my area to the big box home stores and the occasional good deal at a big supermarket. Again, thanks for your work. And no, I won't be purchasing a $500 plant any time soon.
I bought a moisture meter (not from Sheffield) and it never worked. It would register wet, when in fact it was dry as the Saharan desert and vise versa. I use a bamboo skewer and it's always accurate!
@@nancyn6215 What ever works! From what I can tell there's a rather wide range of quality in these devices so no doubt best to get one from a reliable source, should your chopstick stop working 😄
@@jackrice2770 You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, the meter I purchased was recommended by another plant UA-camr. I hadn't found this channel yet. 😢
My Pink Princess often gets stuck unfurling. I moisten a paper towel with warm water and wrap it around the leaf for a few minutes. Voila! 😀🇨🇦
Thanks for the tip
Does this work for stuck syngonium leaves also?
@@debbiefrick4380yes it works on those too. 😊
It didnt work for mine 😔
Exactly this. They need more humidity for those new leaves.
Having a 58 hour work week left me looking like I got dragged backwards through the bushes. I needed this prep talk. It helped the plants too.
😁
"...if anything you'll just get extra plants to slowly kill... Win-win." I'm ded!! 🤣
😁
Finally!!!! A plant channel that talks about bringing your babies back to life after winter. I have literally been looking for this for a week. I mean I kind of know but you make me feel better if I have skipped a step. Oh, and one more thing…you are hysterical!
Thank you 😊
"You're supposed to be one of the good ones, you berk!"
Taking that one to use as necessary.
😂
Dont waste money buying expensive plants. Snip stems from family friends pots and propagate them. You'll have your own plant in weeks 😊
I do this all the time lol
With their permission!!
I wish. My family and friends get their plants from me or aren’t into plants lol
Fake crying was some of your best work. I actually laughed out loud. Thanks for all the great information!! Can we have a video on how to bring new plants into our homes without our other halves noticing?😂
Nice idea 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I am lucky in a way. I managed to bring home quite a lot of plants before my other half noticed it, kind of : I was betrayed by my children who were laughing too much at some point.
@negamo5367 you're lucky, my partner is observant...the only way I can sneak new ones if they are tiny, 6cm pots but I think he's getting suspicious...I've also used the "I'm just taking care of it for a friend" but he's catching on
The shots of you scolding the plants had me actually laughing out loud today. Have you always been this funny?
I thought I was just making a fool of myself 😂
Your sense of humor is 😂😂😂..
😁
It really is. Lots of plant fact videos out there, but none make me chuckle like this guy!
@@IndigoIsopod36Now I love my plants better.
At this point Im not sure anymore if I watch this guy for the knowledge or the humor. Love ya man, have a good season
😂 thanks
My yellow gem ficus hasn’t put out new leaves since summer, and I just keep staring at it like a prophet waiting for a sign.
I found you on insta, then here and what I love Is the fact your UK BASED, important if your in Scotland and watching someone in Florida growing a plant..not gonna work the same ❤️
Love that!
Mr. Sheffield, I find having David Tenant come over every spring to threaten my plants works a treat!
I always tell my ailing plants to “do better!” using the Tennant voice😂
@@worldgonemad1977i just seen that David Tennant and the plants lol 😅 i loved it.
Ahahahaha yes! There’s the bin! Extra moisture for the leaf to unfearl Mr Schefield! Spray bottle it! I spray my PPP’s every time they act naughty and they pop out within the day. Also took your advise a got a purple shamrock, I absolutely love it! Thanks for the inspiration. Loved your video thanks for sharing, the bin made many appearances this episode 😂🤣😂
Great tip!
spring IS NOT ALWAYS detrimental, can actually help, long as it's not overdone.
Hello Mr.Sheffield from Belgium my plants have not seen the sun in much à long time and impossible to put 100 grow lights in my house😅😅😅 thank you for your videos they always make me laugh and l learn something every time keep up the great work😊
My pleasure 😊
You are just absolutely hilarious. Always good for a REAL laugh out loud .... Not an acronym 😂😂😂 and that's a beautiful thing in this day n age 👍
I appreciate that!
,great ideas great humour.please keep this channel going
Hugs to all
This channel brings me great joy.
those faces you pull to make your point, keep me laughing hahahaha 🤣
😁
Went a bit crazy with plant purchases these past weeks, and accidentally ordered some thrips along with the plants. Of course I immediately plunked my new plants with the rest of my collection. Thank God its a very small one. I got to chopping and spraying, presto!
So they’ve not spread too much?!
@@SheffieldMadePlants I don't know yet. I found damage on five plants, but only thrips on one. I can't see very well, so I've ordered a loupe to be able to inspect the rest of my plants. I tried with my phone, but it was hard to get the camera to focus. If I need to treat all my plants, I'll treat all my plants. I'm not panicking. For once, I think my habit of repotting new plants directly might have saved my plants.
@@pinstripesuitandheels I got thrips into my collection once too... and by now I have accepted to just live with them :/ Tried diatomite, tried sticky yellow and blue traps, giving them a good shower... they somehow always come back. Now I have to inspect my plants every time I water them and just kill any thrips I see one by one 😮💨I send heavily infected plants to bathroom isolation. It works for now, it's just rather time consuming. I hope I can get rid of more once it gets warmer outside by placing them outside and hopefully having something natural getting rid of them pests.
@@sachikoda yeah, it's just a fact of life, isn't it. With plants come pests. Managing is the best you can do. I treated all my plants with neem oil yesterday, but some of them really didn't like that. I sprayed them all down with the shower head today, and pruned the leaves that were damaged. I've ordered some organic soap and tea tree oil to make a soapy spray and will spray my entire collection weekly for two more weeks. The neem oil will now only be used as a preventative on my Monstera Deliciosa.
I enjoy cleaning my plants, it's a sort of meditation when I concentrate on getting rid of dead leaves and unwanted guests. Quality time with my green friends ! 😍
I use exclusively aquarium water for my plants and ive mever had to fertilize them once. Adding fertilizer to your water is a great idea if you dont have a fish tank
Great tip!
Oh my gosh...Your channel is like a breath of fresh air. Thank you for the comedic relief, and for all the great tips on keeping house plants in their best shape.
My pleasure 😊
I had to pause the video I was laughing so much. This is exactly me at the moment! I literally have a naughty plant room for all the sad plants I am (hopefully) going to fix with your help
🤣
That last plant, forgot the name in English already. I used to have those as a kid. One of the first plants I ever had. They thrived for many many years. :) Never had any problem with them at all.
Thanks for your videos they are enjoyable and informative at the same time you do a great job😀👍
Thank you 😊
Trust you to ALWAYS put a smile on my face !!!! LOL 😁😁👏👏👍🥰😘
😁
Thank you, great humour and great info ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Its the literal throwing them in the trash for me 😂😂😂
😁
I can relate to holding a plant lovingly, or shaking it! I raised 9 kids.. believe me , very similar!
I can’t imagine!
I raised two who are 13 1/2 years apart. You must be both a superhero and a saint. ❤
😂😂😂
Showering with my plants = pretending to be in a mini rainforest for a few minutes
I’m actually excited about this 🤣
😁
I just absolutely love your channel. Love how you're so quick and witty. By the way, has anyone told you that you would be a great writer, author.
@moniqueanders563 have you subscribed to the free weekly newsletters yet? 🍀
Legend!
Humidity is my issue with philodendron leaf failure. Putting them in a grow tent with humidifier or grow tub has largely fixed my problems with leaves failing to unfurl
I was looking for this comment. That is my guess with his unfurling issues.
🇦🇺 I see all the things to look forward to as I head into winter 😊
If you is use a wet ear bud/q-tip and roll it against the cataphyll you can gently lift it up, and to get under the leaf and gently push it of the cataphyll. I have to do it for my white and pink Princess. If it doesn't unfurl, wrap in a warm, damp cloth apparently helps but i haven't tried that myself.
Either your doorways are low or you are seriously tall! You looked like you were almost ducking as you went through!
Thanks for the tip. I do have to duck going through doorways 😅
I like part where he says "how to help youa plants frive duwing wintah"
Hi Mr Sheffield. Am I in a pickle. We adopted a kitten on the 10th Dec. He is so very naughty. He doesn't eat my plants, thank goodness, but he does excavate the soil & knock them over. So I have soil everywhere. Iv had to leave the mess, as for the last 3 weeks iv had diabolical sciatica. At the point now, where I can't see my plants for broken pots n mess. I have been out today though. Just to a Costa with my youngest who had abdominal surgery 2 weeks ago. So hopefully, things are going to get better for us both. I don't want to lose my plants as I can't water them, but at the moment, life is a downer. I do really enjoy your funny videos, you have a lovely house. Thanks to all xx
Put small pine cones as top dressing on soil. He will lose interest due to smell and texture
It’s a battle I’m not familiar with unfortunately
I keep all of my houseplants at the office for this reason!
@@uzmaali9746bless u honey. I do have a philodendron narrow escape on a moss pole. The kitten was jumping on the pole n dancing on top, bizarre lil thing. I have managed to climb all the rubbish n put lemon juice on the pole (shop brought one, plastic pole with coir round it) lemon has stopped him messing with that one at least. Roll on his last vacc's mid March n he can go out. Thanks for the comment hun. Xxxx
@@lyndseywilliams3895I had sciatica that lasted 6 weeks. My son took over the plant watering for me. I'm grateful for his help, but I had quite a few plants die during those 6 weeks. I hope you are better now. Sciatica is no joke!
Oh yeah, you weren't kidding before when you said you're tall! Looks like you bang your bonnet when you walk through the door lol😅
You are sooooo entertaining. 😂
Lot's of love from Germany send Steffi 🫶
Great video 🌿💚
Thank you! 😃
I just did this last weekend lol great plant minds think alike!~
I just discovered your channel. Love plants and your humor. Love from Germany❤
Awesome! Thank you!
This video is unhinged but I'm obsessed with it!
I wanna be a fly on the wall and watch you film everything lol
My peace lily (you made a video about them... a while ago), was looking pretty bad for a while,. it had stopped flowering, and the leaves were dying off, getting mottled yellow and I thought maybe it had gotten something. So, anyway, I cut off all the ugly leaves, pulled it up, cut off half the roots and replanted it. It was sad for a bit and nothing happened. But now it looks great and it's started flowering again. :)
Awesome!
Your plants look so lovely and well cared for. 🥰🌱🌱
Thanks! I don’t do that much honestly. They make me look good 😂
Lol yu are awsome got me learning n laughing at the same time!😅❤
Great stuff 👍
Thanks for sharing this valuable information!
I've found a good trick for stuck philodendron leaves. I put them on the sink in the bathroom and run the shower hot for 20 minutes. When I'm done running the shower I will turn it off and leave the door closed and leave my sticky leaved babies in the bathroom to enjoy the humidity until it dies down. It almost always gets the stuck Leaf unstuck
Nice tip
You are so funny yet still manage to give valuable tips for us plant people👏👏 thank you 👍
My pleasure 😊
I'm a seasoned grower/collector and I love your vids. Not only do you have great information but you're hilarious 🤣❤ tyfs.
I appreciate that!
Soo helpful! Almost threw my alocasia out as it lost 3 of it's 5 leaves...glad I didn't!
Omg, this was hysterical!!
i would suggest putting a couple drops of lemon into some water and use a rag to clean the leafs, it will stop any water spots :D
also the way you put the liquid fertilizer in the can was on purpose and so evil i love it hahaha
Thanks for the tip
Try a wet paper towel around the leaf that doesn't want to release. It worked for my bird of paradise when one of its leaves did the same. I read that tip, and it worked for me!
Thanks for the tip
Thank you
I just added a lavender tradescantia, a fluted jade, and a Rex geranium to my collection to brighten things up. Great tip on cleaning. My snake plant could probably use a good wipe.
Wonderful!
okay, just the content I needed today after looking at my poor Fittonia and wondering why it looked crusty! out come the scissors tonight. thank you! Heading off to watch the Oxalis video as we bought one of these 2 years ago and planted it outside (it said it was for outside) and it died over winter, it was a proper beauty too, I was so sad!
I'm not one to wake up amd immediately watch videos. Unless it's your video. Then everything else must wait. 😂
Great stuff 👍
When I first moved to Virginia 3 years ago I had only brought 1 plant with me my 25 year old plumeria. Within the first week I knew I needed more. I was in the supermarket and found an angel plant and bought it. It was in a small plastic pot and 3 years later I thought it looked sad so I decided to repot it. I went up 3 sizes but was amazed because the roots had totally taken over the small pot. It took half an hour to cut the pot off. I replanted it and the next day it was standing tall and it actually looked happy! That poor plant was in misery but never gave up. It’s happy now!
Great stuff 👍
The way you hit that fern 🤣🤣🤣
😅
Love how you've come outta ur shell the last little while with ur channel, lol! Love ur fun personality!
❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
My heart infallibly jolts every time you pretend-chuck a plant in the bin
😂
Spider mite: I first used Diatomaceous earth in my chicken coop to reduce the chance of spider mites investing my chucks. When I had fungus gnats I sprinkled some on the soil of my plants, as well as watering from the bottom. Diatomaceous earth works by being abrasive and scratching the insect exoskeleton causing dehydration. Being mostly silica, quartz, it is safe for the plants.
I have a white knight philodendron that keeps growing crispy leaves. I treat my water , thank you for that tip! I’m going to switch out the soil . It’s got lots of nodes so maybe it’s not a loss .
Thank you for all the info 🙏
Good luck!
I love this channel 😂
Legend!
😂❤️ Love this guy and his channel
Thanks!
I just love your videos! Thank you for sharing your time to help us with our plants, and being so entertaining!
Glad you like them!
I watch your videos at 1.25-1.5x the speed and it makes it 200% funnier and I love it that way
Ooo sounds fun
Sir Richard, your neighbors cross the street when they see you? LOL! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
They must see you as the guy whose excessive plant collection has driven him mad!🤣🪴🪴🪴
They think something's weird about me 😂
@@SheffieldMadePlants Then you must be careful, or your neighbors will commit you to the Looney-Bin!🤣🤣🤣
But don’t worry because if they try to pull off a slick one, you have an entire ARMY of “Sheffielders” in the USA, and we will come to your rescue! Mrs. Sheffield and the children need you!🤣❤️🪴
Your acting is hilarious, I love it. XD And of course thanks for all the tips!
Thanks!
Hahaha!!! Love your humour 😂. You speak the truth about our friends, the (diva) plants 🌱😛
Thanks!
This is hilarious. It makes me feel so much more normal.
Great stuff 👍
Lol. The shaky hand when putting the plant food in the water!!!😂
😅
Still my favorite ❤
unfold leaves are mostly because dry air, try to spray some water some few days.
You also could use a thin thing go into the unfold leave and take it carefully out + spray some water
Love the sense of humor 😅😅
Thanks!
3:11 try wrapping them in a dish towel or paper towel that’s been run under hot water and let that sit for a while,then repeat a few times a day and it should help within a day or two in my experience!!
Heavy metal all the way! 🤟😎 Great content as always, and very timely.
Also, great tip about fertilizing. My plant collection is growing and I just can't keep track of all their feeding schedules!
Rock on!
Its important to remember its best to leave pruning outdoor plants until temps have stopped freezing and reached about 45-50 F° at night. That way, bugs can nest over winter and then you'll have more bees, butterflies, spiders, etc, lots of beneficial friends! #LeaveTheLeaves
I have not seen one boring video from Mr. Sheffield. All are informative and very enjoyable to watch. Thanks Mr. Sheffield ! You've saved me from some worries over my collection of plants.
Thank you 😊
The unfurled leaves could be imo from my own experience is underwater. To help to unfurl them hot water in a bowl a cotton napkin soak it in the water and then pull it out of the water and make sure to let it cool down but warm. Wrap the napkin around the leaf that is stuck for 2 min and it should help. I would like your own opinion
Thanks for the tip
I'm in zone 8b and that shamrock plant ☘️ grows outside in my yard. I planted mine under my lilac bush it gets dappled sun. You may have luck growing it outside, too. It dies back and grows again in the spring.
I need to try that
Warm misting of the stuck leaf helps it unfurl after a week to ten days. Dry the leaves around it that get wet. Works for me every time 👍
Great tip!
Thanks, I am so looking forward to spring
I enjoy watching your videos every day. I'm always learning. Great news, I got rid of my fungus gnat too, thanks to you and nematodes. You to rock!🎉
That is awesome!
I pay SO MUCH attention to mine ha. Check multiple times a day
I think put some firtelizer on your Filedendra.
Now you are a real gardener! You mastered watering, propagating and the nutrification!
😁
I’m convinced that every plant in his collection has been in the bin at some point 😂
😅
I really enjoyed the most beneficial information. ❤
About the melanocrysum it’s an airhumidity issue I had the same problem and put it in a big propbox and now it’s fixed so it needs high humidity ✌🏼
Thanks!
You need to be in film!! Absolutely a fantastic entertainer and great on screen personality.
Love it!
Thanks!
Thank you very much! 🙏
I just started watching Mr. Sheffield... his videos are intertaining, great to watch along with great plant tips! 🤣
Thank you 😊
Love this video! Very informative but also entertaining! ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Mr Sheffield, I found your channel yesterday and it gave me the encouragement to cut back and spring-care my houseplants. I‘m still a novice with them, only started about 3 years ago during Covid and this winter my plants looked so bad. Your videos have given me the motivation and encouragement to gave them their much needed attention. Thank you for your lovely videos. ❤
Thanks for watching 😁
You are so funny 😂 i love watching your videos 😊😊
Glad you like them!
This is a great video!!! Loveee this advice for springtime- especially as someone who lives in a colder climate. ALSO this is so entertaining in the perfect way 😌 I absolutely lost it at “I’ll pull his trousers down” comedic gold
Thanks!
Grate video. Will defo take on some of the tips I haven't been doing this year
