    I’m stunned at how much you water your mother in law!!! Seriously, mine is huge, and it gets water only 4 times a year! Yes, once every 3 months. I also live in a very dry climate. When you say you over water, that’s an understatement!

    Guttation - loss of water as a liquid, transpiration - loss of water as water vapor. Both processes take place through the leaves but the water droplets at the tip of leaves is guttation. Good information and your collection looks beautiful and healthy.

    @UtukushiDAE2007 4 роки тому

    Its now a new religion, i watch ur vlogs at breakfast, after watering my plants🤗 im curious how to care for ferns. I had bought several times and always dies on me. Previously i had it in its original potting which was mainly cocohusk. So i tried supplementing with cocopeat filled potting mix just to make sure it retains more moisture. And thrived in my kitchen wall until it was jumped on by either a cat or rat and slowly died when no new leaves grew. Next i bought another which was planted on clay soil mixed with rice husk. So i thought to place it straight in a pot no soil changing and placed it under the same light exposure as the previous but with more chances of moist as its near the sink. But the stick like stalks got chipped. Leaves were all alright. So i decided to place it instead in a terraria (an unused fiah tank) right at the window with the sandy coco peat and compost packed potting mix. Its been growing in length but not as bushy as yours. I hope to see videos of yours focused on ferns. 😉

    • @onlyplants
      @onlyplants  4 роки тому

      Hello One of my first few videos is a care and propagation of a fern, which applies to most ferns so do check that out. But heres a summary:
      - some direct sunlight
      - water daily, never let it dry out
      - I use my general purpose potting mix on all my ferns
      - fertilize lightly
      Hope this helps!

    I’m obsessed with my pothos, vining philodendrons, and scindapsus pictus. I live in a basement with only 4 small windows and they are growing. I also have a monstera deliciosa that is slightly out of control lol

    Another great video👌, you explained it very well and so true, based on my experience. I have 8 of the plants you showed and I would love to get the 8 rest of it (expensive in my area)😍. Your scindapsus is so dark green I love it😍😍😍, it's not same as exotica that's is lighter color and has a lot of silver. My Boston ferns keep shedding leaves indoors (poor lighting) so I plant it outside and it spread as ground cover👌.

    Sean, it's been great to see your videos and to watch you as you start out in this world on UA-cam. I want to wish you the best of luck in this endeavor. Being in Indonesia (and lucky you speak multiple languages) you are blessed by a climate conducive to growing so many plants. Having lots of humidity can be handled with growing media for plants that don't like all that much around their roots and a good schedule of watering is also a benefit. Here, where I live, the humidity is about 5-10% all the time. We have 300 days of sun a year and summers days in the low 40s C (over 105F) . Winters can be cold and it is not unknown to have a few nights with freezing outdoor temperatures. SO, it would be fair for me to be very envious of your growing conditions. I was quite surprised in the video where you visited a nursery because (and thank you) you put local prices for many plants. My surprise came from the cost. It was much higher than I had expected. Of course, rare plants do command a high price but some of the others were a shock. As you can guess, I've been around the block a few times and over my life I've lived in several growing zones. Each was a challenge and I was never disappointed in my meeting this challenge. Over my life I've had collections of cacti and succulents, orchids, bromeliads and African Violets. I usually choose the hardest thing to grown in my environment and see how I can do. So far, so good. I wish I could write to you privately but I know that a UA-camr would be soon swamped with personal emails to reply to so I'll not ask. Just wanted you to know that I like your style (although I'm not sure everyone will go for your swear words - I don't mind!!!) and your honesty and openness. You are a refreshing plant person on UA-cam and I have watched a lot especially during the pandemic because I've been locked down for about 5 months now. (Yes, as you can imagine from that, I live in a place that is a SUPER Hot Spot. I console myself with my online work and my plants and with watching people, like you, full of energy and enthusiasm on UA-cam. I want to wish you the best of luck. If I may give you some suggestions, please don't forget to include plants that are in ordinary folks homes there in Indonesia, botanical gardens and simply showcase your beautiful country through plants. I fear that we other non-Asian parts of the world are not very knowledgeable in general about Indonesia and especially our passion: plants and specifically house plants. You're doing a great job and I expect to learn a lot from you and have fun with your videos where you put little notes on the screen like "awkward" or "didn't get that right" at times. As Oscar Wilde said, "Be yourself. Everyone else is taken!" Good luck. Keep safe in this crazy world.

    Come here to support you! I love orchids.. not too sure why people think they are only for old people. I have many types of orchids and i just love them so much! Did you look into miniature orchids? They are the coolest ones.

    • @onlyplants
      @onlyplants  4 роки тому

      I got them randomly from online, to be honest I was looking at their roots and leaves rather than flowers

      For orchids... medium-bright indirect light, never give them soil, only charcoal chunks or leca balls. Water daily. Outdoors or good airflow required. Fertilize frequently if you want blooms!
