You said in previous videos that when you started pon, you had a bad experience with it, I was hoping you could make a video on your first experience with pon and what has changed since then, it would help a lot. Thank you!
I propagated a really bad looking philo wet stick in moss and it started to make new leaves quickly! I had first put it in pon and it just didn't grow at all although it had even aerial roots! When I put it in moss, it had basically mold in the other end and I needed to cut all the black roots off. Plants are amazingly resilient😊
I used to work at a succulent greenhouse and we would propagate bear paw succulents via leaves! We would let them callous for a few days, put them straight in soil fingers facing upward (for lack of a better term), and then water them with the hose whenever they looked dry!
Did you have any specific light/temperature/humidity conditions? I’ve tried propagating the leaves in soil in normal household conditions, under a grow light and the cuttings always rotted. I did let them callus before putting them in soil and watered the soil when it was dry.
Hey Clair, I’m have the same exact Philo Esmeraldence nodes, shooting out leaves a what I’ve found is soon after the leaves come out it will send roots out from where the leaves started from. I have mine in moss an just leaving them until I see the roots. So don’t give up!! 🫶🏼💚
I wanted to tell you, that since watching your video this morning, I've decided to purchase a little Peperomia Hope. My favorite types of plants are usually Hoyas. And when moving to a smaller space, I gave all my other peperomias to my daughters (except for my Peperomia Ginny or "tri-color"). But this little peperomia Hope almost gives me the same sort of vibes as some of my smaller leafed hoyas. I'm excited about growing it. Thank you for your enthusiasm concerning it. It warmed my heart. 😍🌱
I have such issues with my pepperomia hope.. to the point that I just want to chuck it out but my husband picked it up for me (I am a cancer survivor and hope is important for me) so I’m giving it the spring/summer to change my mind 😂😂
Hi Claire, I know this is unrelated, but I wanted to know how often you leave on your humidifier? Because I'm just worried about potential mould forming, etc. Hope you help, thanks
Love the Nepenthes. Mine has gone outside for summer holidays. The leaves have thickened up and finally producing cups. I love Calathea - Orbifolia. The leaves are so striking. I have two of them one in soil, the other in Leca, both are doing well. Can't wait to see them get really big. My favourite at the moment is Calathea - Veitchiana. It has the most beautiful leaves. Thank you for sharing your favourites. 😊
I've never propagated a bear paw from leaf cuttings but I have propagated a pants paw from leaf cuttings by putting the part where it broke off from the plant in water and it roots really quickly. I also love your videos and I love all the plants you own ❤
Yayayayya im so glad you didnt throw away the esmereldense. I left a comment on the video where you spoke about it saying put it back because sometimes they do what it’s currently doing. I’m so happy for u! Plants always find a way.
The vittarifolium is already looking so much healthier in your care. The veination in the video looks incredible. The perfect light shining off it made it look stunning 😍 Good luck on this years plant journey, I’m sure they’ll all become incredible plants 🪴
I struggled initially with getting the watering right with the Philodendron domesticum variegated and found it to be vulnerable to root rot and to salt build ups in watering systems, so regular flushing and half-strength fertiliser every 2 weeks works best. A good chunky philodendron mix or African Violet mix are what I have found to be most suitable to pot up in, and only water the top inch of soil that has dried out, not right through, until the plant is fully established. Once established this plant is quite drought tolerant. They enjoy higher humidity levels, temperatures of 15 - 26⁰C, and respond well to pruning. Good luck with yours, as when the leaves get large it is a stunning philodendron.
Interesting to hear that you had problems with Calathea in semihydro. I use semihydro for a few plant species like Alocasia and Anthurium, but I got the impression that Calatheas in general tend to do better in soil, mixed with perlite. I have 6 Calatheas and all are loving life right now. I had them for around two years now
Drymonia is a Gesneriad (African Violet's cousin). It is an easy houseplant, and hard to kill one. Regular African Violet potting mix (peat and perlite). Good light, otherwise it will be leggy. No moss or terrarium needed.
31:10 to 31:45 100% LOVE YOUR VIDS CLAIRE! Thank you for your inspirational tips and advice…your passion shines so bright! ♥️♥️♥️ Strappy-Leaf-Lover here too!😉
Claire, I absolutely loved this video and I am excited with you 💚🤗 Had my breakfast while watching the video and it was a perfect little mental get-away to start the day 😄
The adult fungus gnats might be going in to the pon to feed, but from what i know, they need to soil to reproduce, so what maybe is happening is that gnats from the plants with soil are going in to the plants with pon to feed, and back to soil to reproduce?
I've seen what happens with your philodendron esmeraldense with some raphidophora node props. Choped a big vine and threw the nodes in a prop box and it eventually started doing the same thing that you have.
@TheJungleHaven Hi Clare! I think this video you mention propagating Pepperomia Hope. I have found this plant super simple. I did this leaf propagation just two short months ago. I put it in self watering pon in my cabinet and forgot about it. I did another just on a plant shelf in my bathroom and they both look about the same. About 20 leaves and two -4 vines from a single leaf. I want one of these trailing in every room 😊 oh it’s not giving me option to add a photo(got my platforms mixed up ;). If you’d like to see a photo let me know how to get one to you
your esmeraldense is basically a wetstick and as long as the growth point hasn’t rotted, it will be fine. wetsticks don’t need roots to survive and the growth point will activate, push out new growth and the new growth will grow roots. Happens all the time and the plant is just doing what it’s programmed to do to survive 🙂
Your bear paw I have but it was a total accident I ripped a leaf off an the end that attaches to the stem was not there an it fell into my aloes pot an about 2 months later I have a little baby bear coming up
🥲I remember the emotional turbulence of that Esmeralda!! You could tell you were heartbroken 🥹 I choked up, got teary eyed then went into full cry 🥲as you emergency cared for that plant. I must’ve already been emo that day. BUT then 😅 My friend walked in and said I thought she got you moving to do plants and laundry WHAT IS GOING ON?! 😂 I explained… and that man said: but she’s already got like 500 plants maybe they killed it! I retorted GET OUTTA MY HOUSE🤣 I think I’ll buy me an Esmeraldi too now, maybe… 😅
oof, your philodendron esmeraldense experience makes me think twice about getting one. It's on my wishlist. I had a philodendron patriciae (juvenile plant) that died under my care, root rot too I believe. I believed P.esmeraldense to be easier to care for than P. patriciae. Good luck with yours!
First time watching your videos. I loved the hour plus video you posted, but it made me question my love for my plants watching you taking care of yours. I am so ashamed 😳❤
The vittarifolium is already looking so much healthier in your care. The veination in the video looks incredible. The perfect light shining off it made it look stunning 😍 Good luck on this years plant journey, I’m sure they’ll all become incredible plants 🪴

I agree with this! I’m about to start a few in it so would be massively helpful!

I've both pallidiflorum and vittariifolium but the vittariifolium is so architectural

I just got my vittarifolium yesterday and I'm so in love with it! Pallidiflorum is next on my list!
I just lay bear paw leaves on damp soil and they root. Like a jade or burros tail.

I’ve heard that reducing the light will achieve darker foliage on the vittarifolium and other strappy anthurium! It looks beautiful! ❤
Ooooh interesting! I'd have thought it would be the other way around... Thanks for the tip!
@@TheJungleHaven I could be wrong because I don’t own any myself, but I could have sworn I heard it recently from a big anthurium collector!

OMG at that anthurium vitty-fella at the end!!!! 😮😍
Claire, I absolutely loved this video and I am excited with you 💚🤗
Had my breakfast while watching the video and it was a perfect little mental get-away to start the day 😄
That last plant 😳. Wow!
Clair your knowledge is amazing thank you for sharing can’t wait for your next video
Can’t wait for your video on the peperomia hope. I saw yours and fell in love with it I had to get 2! Love love love!
I too enjoy learning the care of my plants, I learn well from my own mistakes too 😅
ENJ💚YED Y💚UR 2💚24 EXCITING PLANTS IN Y💚UR C💚LLECTI💚N VIDEO!!!
I love those strappy plants too! I don’t have any yet. It’s a wishlist plant for this year. ❤
Some plants are so cool and so calming to look at!
Thanks so much Clair , beautiful plants 🪴
How will you be propagating the Peperomia Hope? I have one and it's leggy just like yours. I'd like to propagate it and want your suggestions.
The adult fungus gnats might be going in to the pon to feed, but from what i know, they need to soil to reproduce, so what maybe is happening is that gnats from the plants with soil are going in to the plants with pon to feed, and back to soil to reproduce?
So excited about your Anthurium!!
But I like them all too❤️
I've seen what happens with your philodendron esmeraldense with some raphidophora node props. Choped a big vine and threw the nodes in a prop box and it eventually started doing the same thing that you have.
Ooh amazing! I've never seen it happen before!
Very beautiful plant👍👍👍
I didnt know Daisy Ridley loved plants so much.

Did you put the obtisifolia back in soil or semi hydro?
I have a Brasil node doing the same thing in my prop box. 🤞🏻
Thanks!

Great video as always my perperomia hope is growing leggy as well and it's a few feet away from a south facing window 🤔
i did get the domesticum but decided i was kinda sick of climbing plants and had to many so she went hah
Your bear paw I have but it was a total accident I ripped a leaf off an the end that attaches to the stem was not there an it fell into my aloes pot an about 2 months later I have a little baby bear coming up

Perhaps look for a rooted cutting? If I were to go back and prop it again I would use moss instead of a semi-hydro mix for sure
20:45…. My Peperomia Hope’s leaves are curling like crazy! Do you think that means they need more water??? More light??? Help everyone, help. Please!
The intro… 😂😭😂😭😂
i love ur videos so much lol
Claire PLEASE name your tiny plant Wally. The movie Wall-E is exactly what your tiny guy is about.
Grow up kid😂
i keep rotting the callista, tried so many times
do you have a garden or are all you're plants indoors?
Nice outro 😂
I had a bear paw leaf root beautifully, but after a year there was no growth and eventually it died😢
Raja Pack
I’m from California. Can someone please help me find where I can buy pon?
Amazon
Will the carnivorous plant eat gnats?? 🤔
The pitcher plant will yes but I've found sundews are best for gnats.
"Curate" or "edit" your collection is how I'd put it if I were to describe what you hope to do.
First time watching your videos. I loved the hour plus video you posted, but it made me question my love for my plants watching you taking care of yours. I am so ashamed 😳❤
As a plant grower with years of knowledge you should know that a bear paw plant is not a cacti and is actually a succulent
The vittarifolium is already looking so much healthier in your care. The veination in the video looks incredible. The perfect light shining off it made it look stunning 😍
Good luck on this years plant journey, I’m sure they’ll all become incredible plants 🪴
