    *Soil mix:* Most tropical rainforest plants will benefit from a small portion of Activated Charcoal mixed in.
    It acts against harmful bacteria and moderates changes in the soil chemistry. Any sort of forest goes thru burn events at times, so this also mimics a feature of the rainforest environment: there is always some charcoal in that soil.

    I want to take the time today to thank you for your videos, Kaylee! You were the one that got me into plants. Before, I thought that I could not have plants, because a) I always kill them (by overwatering, I even killed a Zamioculca in the past!), and b) my house is too dark. By buying this moisture probe that you always recommend, I felt more confident that I could do it. I also realized that I do have quite some spots in my house which are not too dark. Now, I have something around 50 plants, and they are all happy and thriving. And this makes me happy. Thanks a million!

    Regarding fertilizing, if you repotted, wait 4-6 months before adding any. Most soils have lots of nutrition and some even have fertilizer in them so extra can burn the roots. I put a note in my planner when I repot so I know when I can fertilize 😊

  • @paulabollers6396
    @paulabollers6396 5 років тому +29

    After awhile, I recommend double checking your moisture meters or getting a good quality one. Mine was giving me wacky readings (i.e. saying it was dry when it was wet). Also clean the rods with alcohol between use so you get accurate readings and don't transfer anything funky to other plants.

      Hey Paula!!! Love this:)) I have seen some comments saying that they don't like other videos about using the finger method, but I don't use a moisture probe and wait for my Phils to just about dry out (when the pot feels very light) I do so much by feeling do to the fact I'm partially blind and ALL my philodendrons look beautiful, but if I was to purchase one I will use your method...I have a hard time trusting gadgets :))

      @@illumlife588 Hi Emily! Nice to see you here! Yes, I notice first that my moisture probe was taking a long time to register the moisture level. I would have to put it in and then come back. Eventually, it was totally wrong. Like Kaylee Ellen mentioned in the video, I noticed that giving a plant a soaking til water came out the bottom did not always suit the plants. My Ficus Audrey will drop leaves if I do that. I also like how she mentioned roots don't always go through the bottom hole if a plant is root bound. I would say caring for plants in our unique environments is experiential and instinctual. You learn by overwatering and getting fungus gnats like I did or just by knowing what your plants need based on the type of light they get, pot they are in and if all else fails testing the soil by hand will do the trick!

    Kaylee I'm only a minute almost 5 on your video and what excellent advice about watering. To me it's sort of intuitive when a plant needs watered and after you have it for a little while you understand its needs and if you do a little research understand it even better. But some people are new to plants and they really don't have a clue how to water and they're scared the plants going to die so they tend to over water. So you have explained this in such a great way I'm a retired teacher and I taught for 32 years and substituted for 13 and it always amazed me new teachers and how they don't understand how to really teach if someone doesn't understand something like one of the students in math maybe he's not understanding triple digit multiplication or division or something. And they were so bright they got straight A's never struggled to learn anything top of their class but have no clue on how to teach. I had to explain to my children my students that the way I and my paycheck is not to present something and see if they understand it but if they don't understand something to teach them in a way that they come away with oh now I get it! And you are doing such a great job explaining the nitty gritty part of watering which is one of the most important parts of having house plants or even of gardening. Come to my channel on UA-cam everyone I want to see comments that's what I look forward to seeing every day take care Kaylee great job!!

    Besides buying a cool mist humidifier which brought my humidity level up into the 60s this winter and the house temperature was 68 degrees and felt Pleasant because of the high humidity level you also can boost the humidity by grouping your plants together because they give off water they transpired as they do their thing photosynthesis to make their food the light shining on the green leaves... we all know about humidity trays and misting but grouping plants together and that cool mist humidifier are the best ways to help your plants I think and I'm sure you agree Kaylee you are giving excellent points and that's why everyone loves your videos

    Thank you! Really great video! I like philodendrons. So this is helpful. I had a scandens with tiny leaves, hardly watered it, stayed in medium light. Then I moved & it got terrible gnats!! ...so I put it outside in the sun & rain in spring & lots of it died off. I brought it back inside in a northeastern windowsill and it surprisingly popped out tons of new BIG leaves. Like the size of my hand! Now it’s in a nice hanging pot in my warm south facing front living room about 6’ away from the window...and we are loving life together 😂 What a neat experience I had with it. You’re right it doesn’t like a lot of water to run through during watering. Just a bit to moisten everything is fine. I feel like me and my plant went through a ton and now I understand it so much more.
    I would like to see a video about your soil recipe.
    I would also like some eye candy of all your philodendrons possibly in the room and light situation you have them in.
    I like to see plants in videos but it would be really helpful to see them where they are actually growing.

      Wow, thank you for asking! I’ve been wanting to tell someone, but nobody I know is interested haha.
      I bought a Florida beauty, a moonlight, an autumn (I think it’s a hybrid), gold cordatum and a black cardinal ☺️☺️☺️ have you had any of these before? Any tips would be great, thank you ☺️

      @@JessaWabbit wow, lucky! You've got a lot of beauties on your hands 😍
      I've only got a tiny baby gold cordatum and it seems to really appreciate humidity and bright, indirect lighting. I also have him in well-draining soil. Honestly this video is probably perfect for all of them, care-wise!

    Excellent information about watering your plants are killed by water than any other means of death! One product I use and it's sold here in America at Lowe's but not at Home Depot is a product called... Soil moist. It's little polymer crystals that absorb water. Sort of like how a baby's disposable diaper works there's a polymer in that diaper but that polymer has to stick together and stay Ooey and gooey as it absorbs moisture just in case the baby is toddling around and it's little pamper and it gets a hole in you don't want little chunks of stuff falling out on the floor. But the polymer and soil moist stays a crystal it doesn't cling to another Crystal. Since it absorbs 50 times its weight in water a spoonful in a large pot can absorb a lot of water and hold and suspension until a plant needs it. I think it's great especially plants that are in clay pots for plants that are outside on the patio in pots or in hanging baskets. Hot dry weather can dry them out quickly and then add some wind to the day and you're going to have wilted and dying plants very quickly in the summer. But that extra bit of moisture the soil moist crystals hold helps the plant from becoming dehydrated in wilted so quickly without making the soil soggy. Do not buy Miracle Grow potting soil with that polymer in because it's not the same polymer it's a cheaper polymer probably like what's in Pampers. You can't use too much of this in a pot. I recycle my potting soil and am I big huge thought that I mix half peat moss the Stay Green brand from Lowe's it has a little bit of fertilizer in and Miracle Grow or stay green brand potting soil from Lowe's which has a bit of fertilizer in and I mix that with recycled orchid bark for my orchids some shredded up sphagnum Moss from repotted orchids and any recycled potting soil from healthy plants. I mix it all up together along with some osmocote summorum castings and the most important ingredient of all I think is soil moist crystals! Because these crystals last 4 or 5 years or maybe longer sometimes there's some extra soil moist crystals in my potting soil and I don't realize it. If we get a heavy rain sometimes my pots look like they're growing clear chunks of Jell-O. It doesn't hurt the plants cuz the soils not soggy I just take those extra chunks of Jell-O and add them 2 the pot I mix my potting soil in or into the bag of potting soil. I think this would also help anyone who tends to over water their plants because it absorbs the excess water in the soil and keeps it from getting mushy an Uzi and keeps the plant from thinking it's growing in a swamp. All of my plants love having this in the soil mix. I take a lot of coleus cuttings in the spring so that I can have lots of coleus plants without having to buy lots of coleus plants... In fact if you come to my UA-cam channel which is Kathleen Murphy and add the word coleus to the search engine you will see the hundred or so cuttings that I made into hanging baskets and pots this past spring I did a whole video on them... And I'm going to do an update on them and the coleus I grow from seed! But the coleus don't like to dry out and they transition well from water routes to dirt roots with the soil moist in the pot. In the fall after the frost hits and I pull up all the dead coleus plants the roots are still sort of alive and they're clinging two little bits of the soil moist crystals those roots find those crystals and just stay there and suck out water whenever they need it. I think it's the greatest invention ever. Besides the water feature I think it aerates the soil and helps the roots get oxygen because the expansion and contraction of those crystals keeps the soil loose. The soil does not get compacted like it can sometimes get after a while. So come to my UA-cam channel it's Kathleen Murphy as the word coleus philodendron house plants are orchids along with my name and the search engine and you'll find me. My channels only about a month old I'm 70 years old and this is a whole new world to me. I've Loved plants and gardening all my life got rid of the cable TV and UA-cam has become my entertainment but it's also become a way just share what I know about plants and learn from other plan A holic's! A year ago I didn't own one Orchid and now I own over 30 come visit me and click subscribe and like but even if you don't do that please leave me a comment and let me know what you think about what I posted and how maybe I could do a better job except I'm stuck with filming with my cell phone right now I don't have a computer I don't have internet access so the only way I can post videos is to take them with my cell phone and upload! I love love love this channel and what a great entrepreneur Kaylee is and an inspiration to all of us.

    Another awesome video, thank you, I hope I am not to late, I have a limp and yellowing leaf on my philodendron speciosum, overwatered AND sitting in water...
    I moved it inside after transplanting it and watered it through, I didn't have a tray for underneath it yet so I put it in a plastic saucer type thing, it held the water longer I guess...

    Note:
    *Plantmeter*
    Stick your Plantmeter near the plant not just anywhere in the pot. The roots are more concentrated near the plants stem so you want to make sure that the values are ok at this location. Don't push it down till it reaches the bottom. 3/4 is better to do the reading otherwise it will pick up some trapped moisture at the bottom of the pot but you want to know the moisture of the soil.
    Depending on your water quality:
    You do need to check the pH! The pH is very important to be right if not your plant will suffer or die. Some plant are very tolerant but others have a very small spectrum sometimes just +-0,5pH. So look that up for your specific plant and check your soil.
    *Humidifier*
    Don't use usual humidifiers with regular tap water! Again this depends on your tap water but: Your tap water has many different substances dissolved in it. All these things get thrown into the air and they will stick to every surface including your plants leaves. In extreme cases it could even block pores on your plant. My whole room had really dense white dust because I didn't know about this issue. Use destilled or osmosis water. But you should have access to pure water anyway if you are caring for some expensive philodendrons.

    I have the same moisture meter and have had some issues with hugely inaccurate readings for some soils. This caused me to almost kill a couple of plants because it was reading much higher than the soil actually was. Because they use electrical condictivity to measure moisture, soil v content can affect them so use with caution!

    Thank you for this video! I just received a black and gold philodendron start and the top of the soil is looking dry so I need to double check when it should be watered.
    The scheduled watering things drives me a lityle crazy! 😬 Im like "Cmon, people. At the very least let's not forget that water evaporates faster when it's hotter or when the air is dryer. 😂".
    Ive seen so many people online hate on moisture meters....but my skin sensitivity fluctuates with my health concerns and my finger tips have a partial loss of sensation. Even after growing plants for 4 years I still feel like Im still guessing when it's appropriate to water. I think I will get a moisture meter!
