For your humidity inside, I've been using a slow cooker I got at junk store. It didn't have a lid. I put it near the plants in the winter, fill it, and turn it on. It will steam. My sinuses and skin like the idea, too.
Hasn't been what? You know you have to give it a few hours to disperse through the room. As to full sun, I've killed/burned a lot of plants doing that. I'm in Texas.
I’ve discovered your channel few weeks ago and have been enjoying your videos and more importantly, your sense of humour. Then i get paused in my tracks when i come across a video like this…is this the same dude?! I check the date and see it’s one of your earlier videos and I crack up. How in a world were you able to lock away that cheeky sense of humour??!!!!! Well, I am happy you failed to keep it locked away! Thanks for making the information fun to consume….well, with your newer videos :-P
If you’re still having troubles with citrus tree, I would suggest that you put in in a colder spot in the winter. In needs a bright spot with temperatures from 5-10 degrees celsius, any more than that it really doesn’t like it during the winter season. At least that works best for lemon trees 😊 hope it helps 😊
I find the more light I give to my peace lily, the bigger and wider leaves it grows. I live in Finland though, so maybe a south facing window here never burns any plant's leaves that easily...but the problem is that it has grown quite a monstrous sized plant, so it can't fit near my sunny window anymore. I can treat it as a furniture and divide space between the kitchen and the living room with it.
Great video. Very helpful😊. I live in California and have three windows that are full sun. It is hard to find good plants to grow there. I really prefer green leafy plants (ferns) but i don’t have a good place for them. But i will look for these next time I’m at the garden center.
Yes that’s true. There are some plants , native in Mediterranean or in deserts in Africa or South America that need full sun to grow and we need to mimic their nature conditions. Succulents for example need full sun to grow - actually extreme sun make them much more vibrant and their colours turn into more pink or red they become much more colourful in general. Of course we need to acclimate them first. I mean if we take our sanciveria for excample from the darker spot of our house and put it immediately in full sun it will get burned. But if we acclimate by giving step by step one hour of sun first week two hours the second week etc our plants will get used to extreme conditions soon and they d love it. And they ll show you be looking more vibrant, shining , colourful and thrive - until the end of the summer they ll double their size. I live in Cyprus - small Greek island in Mediterranean and we receive strong full sun 40 degrees Celsius for three months in summer. My succulents and cacti, my sansiverias , my ficus and dragons love it!! And the colours of my succulents become really llike a rainbow
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yes Istarted acclimating since spring . Tinier was great, the Elastica burned some leaves but it continue well after I removed the burned leaves , and both doubled their size now !! I ll send you a few photos to see!!tinyke the variegated was great had no problem at all did my burn nothing. My lyrata I was afraid and didn’t take it out to the sun and it didn’t grow at all
Agreed but under full sun also depends on the temperature, some places are abv 35'celsius to 40c are not suitable at all. Even succulents will get toast up! Thq
I have a purple passion plant. I’ve heard it likes moderate light but I have it on a south facing windowsill and it loves it. It’s never gotten burnt and I’ve had success planting rooted cuttings by putting them in the soil and leaving them outside in the full summer sun. It got really leggy in a west facing window and my cuttings didn’t survive planting until I moved it to my south facing window
My purple passion plants are some of my favorites! They came from a single cutting my daughter gave me a few years ago. I've been able to propagate three full-sized houseplants from that original cutting, and I'm working on another one that I'm going to hang.
I grow all of them in full sun. This spring they all got sunburn and lost some leaves but wasn't long before they had new leaves and are doing well. I am trying coffee tree this year and so far it's surviving well in full sun. Most of my plants survive full sun. I haven't adapted any of my philodendronns and pothos to full sun. They tend to burn to crisp when I put them out there or at least get bleached in the best case. Tradescantia can do well in full sun.
I have a wee coffee plant that's absolutely loving getting baked in my south facing deck! I just wish I'd know that before the rest in his pot gave up the ghost indoors...
I have a ficus lyrata outside on the north side of my house, and it loves it there. I've just got a new one and I'm going to try it in my darker living room, but I've been leaving the lights on all day 🤞 I guess if it starts looking unwell, I can put it out with its friend lol.
Always love your videos - yours are the most informative on YT. Everything is concise and simple! I must tell you though - that SPIDER you've got on the wall in back is creeping meet out! Lol 😅
I live in Sweden and I've had geraniums on my south facing window sill for ten years without really knowing what I was doing and they thrive incredibly well. They even get flowers in the winter. Geraniums don't seem very popular among houseplant enthusiasts for some reason though.
I live in Newfoundland Canada,all my plants including pothos,zz,peace lilly etc grow in full sun and grow like weeds.The only one i cannot get to grow is the pictus exotica.
I have three Hoya plants that I am trying to get a head start on blossoms with grow lights. I put a red grow light on them most of the time and they are on a Southwest facing window. I live in northwest Oregon USA where we are having freezing temperatures right now. I wonder how long it will be until I can expect blossoms on my hoya plants?
I live in Hungary, the climate is Mediterranean minus the sea. Our summer days are easily reaching 40 degrees and the sun is unforgiving. Sadly; I love green, leafy plants yet they don't seem to enjoy the climate here. I have a lot of plants which are very happy in indirect sunlight; they thrive a couple of meters away from my south/north facing windows (I don't have east/west windows; stupid I know). Yet I have empty windows seals at peak summer because my calatheas, monsteras, alocasias and even my got dam palm trees essentially fry near the window. Other than cacti; would you be able to suggest anything green which may enjoy being cooked alive in my very hot, dry and sunny window....? For context, the window I refer to is approx. 4 meters wide so I have a LOT of space to fill. I love big mean things as my dogs won't eat it and it looks epic from the road. Thanks in advance! PS. Love your channel! I recently discovered it and have watched most of the videos in the past week!
Hey. Thanks for the comment. Nice to have a viewer from Hungary. Your climate sounds very tricky. You're going to be very restricted I think. What about Snake Plants?
Thank you! I always enjoy your tips, and tricks. I have not seen any amaryllis bulbs in your videos...Do you love or hate them? I have hard time not buying another bulb!
I once put a small Echeveria under the direct Greek sun, and it was May or June, so it wasn't that hot yet. And all the leaves were scorched after only two days.....
Did you slowly introduce it to the sun? Because if you put it directly into sun if it hasn’t been in direct sun then it will definitely burn because it’s not used to it
Hi :) Firstly, I love your videos, they are all so informative, I've learned a lot so thank you! Secondly, I have a question that bothers me :) I recently bought ficus ruby, even tho I don't have a bright spot for it. I'm keeping it with my other plants under growing light with some of the natural morning sun (but it's away from the window). I was thinking can I place ruby outside on my terrace during the spring and summer so it can have more indirect sun or I should not move it? Woman who sold me a plant said nooo, it's an indoor plant, it will lose leaves when I bring it inside later, but I did see that some people keep them outside. What do you think? Would that be a risk? Thank you!
I can't stress this enough but please keep your venus flytraps out in full sun all year round their leaves can't photosynthesize as efficiently as your other houseplants
It's really cool to see the evolution of your camera presence. Your real personality shows through now versus the older videos 😊.
Awesome! Thank you!
I watched your video about putting aquarium treatment drops in the plant water. They liked it better than plant food. I'm godsmacked
Great stuff 👍

So your sun is not so strong?
I imagine you would go crazy with a greenhouse. Much more control over the entire environment
I’d love one
Love all your helpful videos, I can equate with all of them. Have you done one on streptacarpus at all?
Thank you! Not yet
Good info but that looked like a huge spider on the wall behind you! 🕷️ 😱😂

@Sheffield Made Plants I got one, but still a very big window to fill with just one type of plants 😄 got a ZZ too.
@@Ambersoto90 yes very tricky. Jade plants are a good option and can grow pretty big
@@SheffieldMadePlants thanks, might have to add more of both so that my window isn't empty and sad all summer 😁

@@auntmarykk oh yes, I was a noobie and put it out under the sun immediately after buying it from the supermarket.
My southern windows get 10-14 hours of direct sun. Would love to know which plants would thrive there
Jade, snake, and succulents would
Nice sharing 😊👌
Thank you 😊
I have question abt the rubberplant. Mine is white and green but new leaves look a little pink. So wonder. Is this a rubby or a normal rubberplant?

Which supermarket is selling the fiddle leaf for only £5??
What is 5 lbs? I’m in usa
You never replied but I can goggle it still enjoy your videos
♥♥♥♥
Are these pet safe
Peperomias usually are safe for pets, same for jade plant and echeveria. Snake plant and ficus elastica are toxic to a varying degree though.
