Miro, I could barely drag (crawl lol) myself out of bed. 😂😂😂 The baby was up all night. 👶🏼 It’s ok. He is cuter than a crawler.. lol You always make me feel like I’ve done something. 👱🏻♀️🪴💚 Love your videos.
Only one crawler, a gloriosum since October 2022. Bought it from a local grower as a rooted one leaf prop. It gives me at least one new leaf a month, even during the winter! And of course each new leaf is bigger than the last one.
Miro, you are one of my very favorite UA-camrs. You provide great info in the most entertaining and hysterical way and I appreciate you so much. I’ve developed a great love of Hoya too because of you. Thanks so much for all the work you put into your videos. I love them all.
I absolutely agree that Dean McDowell grows very fast! Now that I have a couple of crawlers myself... and I haven't killed them... I AM starting to wonder if I'm going to be able to deal with their growth habit. btw, I really enjoy your content. Thank you!
The leaves of a plant will limit itself in relation to the roots it can develop, so if you want larger leaves on your Dean McDowell you need to place it in a deeper pot that can give the roots the space they need to grow, and eventually the increased energy the roots need will force the plant to grow larger leaves.
I started what I thought was a simple plant chore too while watching this. I have a string of hearts I wanted to propagate. I got it as a small smarter pot less than a year ago and it’s now 2.5 meters long and with only a few strands I wanted to fill out the pot. I was also concerned why it was constantly thirsty. I’ve had it in pon and in a pot I thought was much too big so it would last forever. I now found such an insane amount of roots filling that big pot and am a little lost as to where to put it if I want to double the amount of strands in the pot. Untangling it is also a special kind of hell. To frustrating plant chores and good virtual company while doing them.
I love your McDowell 😍 Crawling philodendrons are usually stunning but they freak me out and really stress me plus they take so much space. All I keep from this type of Philo is a Gloriosum and I'm really thinking about giving it away and getting a glorious instead that can be grown as a climbing plant.
I absolutely love the crawlers leaves, Gloriosum, Mamei, Plowmanii, Pastazunum, McDowell. But yes their growth habit can actually pretty annoying! You can only keep them in a long pot for only a few months at a time, I chop them and have 2-3 in one pot but it wont last long.
I don't have any crawlers and I don't think I will get any because of the space issue. Thanks for showing me that if I would get these kind of pots I will not use the plastic divider with all the holes. I have a thing for pumice and I add ca 20% clay, my aroids love it and I just planted my Whalefin (Dracaena masoniana) in it :) My point is that pumice works very well if you want to have a reservoir even without the plastic divider because of the aeration properties.
I give McDowell five months to outgrow its new pot. By early September it'll be peaking out the pot. I personally adore the crawlers, they're among my favourite phils. Such a pity there aren't that many crawler species. I counted Gloriosum, Pastazanum, Plowmanii, Luxurians, Mamei, Lynamii (or Devansayeanum), Nangaritense, McDowell, sp Colombia, and Melloi (the last one I only recently found out about, described in 2017, has trilobate leaves, new leaves come out almost hot pink. It has its whole thing going on). If you know any other crawler species, do say!
I don't own any crawling philodendron yet, but I do love the look of them and the growth pattern. I feel like crawling philodendron generally have very pillowy leaves and I love that. I have over 200 plants in my 122 square feet bedroom so I absolutely don't have the space unless I get rid of my bed, but planning to get some crawlers once I get my own place.
Miro, visibly disturbed about what's about to happen: "I don't like to make noise!" Also Miro, immediately after: *SMACK, SMACK SMACK* One of the many reasons you're one of my favourite UA-camrs. 😂❤
Just repotted all my large outdoor plants, Monstera, bop, andonsonii, and a blueberry plant lol they’ve officially been kicked out onto the porch. Fingers crossed they survive.
So my plant chores for yesterday (when this video came out) was to repot 3 plants that I imported back in May (first import) and have been in moss ever since - Philodendron Dean McDowell, Gloriosum Zebra and Gloriosum. What are the odds? Anyway since you did the repotting I figured I better watch and instead put mine off for another day. Oh well! ; )
You had a great chore day, me too, repotted my Hoya sunrise, that first had root rot, then got thrifts !! Fingers crossed 🤞 Potted Hoya linearis from water cuttings and lastly potted Calathea warscewiczii from water cuttings to compost 😊 A good day had by all …
Hello Miro, What a chore you did! I like crawlers; but room is a real consideration. I have about 65 plants in my studio apartment. Today I have to pot up many cuttings. (about 35) Good luck with your plants.
I was gonna try to repot my 6 foot tall 'large form' monstera but i quickly realized not only can i not lift it, its aerials grew behind my heater INTO the wall 😅 Also damn that is a sexy root system
Mirro, your videos always make my day! I had to laugh at your conversation with Dean😂🤣. I worked on propagating my jade plant while I watched your video
@@BasiePlants I lost the roots on my gloriosum Zebra pink cutting and I'm having a terrible time rooting it now. You mentioned this in your video and referred to another video where you discussed this. I can't seem to find the other video. Would you be able to tell me the name/date of that other video so I can get some help? Thanks!!
Here I am...sitting on my a$$ watching people do plant chores instead of doing the many plant chores I have 😆. I'm in the middle of my yearly war with spidermites and again telling myself I will not buy another plant until I have situated the hundreds I have already.
I just got my first few crawlers and it is a love hate thing!! I watered today in the massive greenhouse, planted some tomatoes, Peppers and basil. Moved some more plants from the greenhouse because it is getting really hot in there. I repot a massive Hoya every day but can only do one and then my back goes out and I have to sit. But my Hoya are in 18-20 inch pots and most are 3-4 foot tall on trellis’s!!!
What plant chore did you do? 👀
I sowed Hoya seeds.
Miro, I could barely drag (crawl lol) myself out of bed. 😂😂😂 The baby was up all night. 👶🏼 It’s ok. He is cuter than a crawler.. lol

@@betsybegonia 🥺
@@evlynealeshire5850 Oh no! I am sorry to hear you did not have the best night. We will just say you did this repotting and not me. 😂
@Bess Not That is wonderful! I hope one day I can also dedicate more time to outdoor gardening and who knows, maybe even grow some veggies :)

I am glad if I got you into hoyas 💚 One person at a time 😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one who has conversations with their plants. 😂😂
BTW that McDowell 😍😍.

Yellow leave is still a beauty. I would leave it. 😊

I love your videos! My dean is smaller but you've inspired me to repot him today into a long pot
Mine is smaller now too, I had to cut it. It was getting way to big. But it is also starting to grow again xD
My planty chore was watering and updating my plant journal. Just a chill morning all 'round. As usual love the video :) have a great day!
I vibe so much with your personality 😂😂

I have to say your repot videos are my favorite! You crack me up…love your commentary….hilarious 😂❤️❤️😂
I am glad you are having fun watching the videos then :D
My comments are always the same 😸... Love your channel sooo much!!!💚💚💚

I would love to try a crawler, especially a gloriosum. I think they are so beautiful!

Calathea from water cuttings to compost 💀😂 No tears were shed 😂
Great video! Love that McDowell:) I just watered plants today, and did a little re-arranging!
I love your channel! I think you are adorable and a wealth of knowledge!
I abso-fuckin-lutely love your energy. Subscribed.
The energy is definitely.... out there. 😂
I love your videos. You crack me up.
Aqua Toscana made me think of "Aqua Tofana" and now I can't stop thinking about wives killing their husbands with face cream. Thanks, Miro 😂
Hello Miro, What a chore you did! I like crawlers; but room is a real consideration. I have about 65 plants in my studio apartment. Today I have to pot up many cuttings. (about 35) Good luck with your plants.
They definitely take up space! But if you can squeeze just one in, I think it is worth it! Wow, 35 is a lot to pot up! Have fun :D
I was gonna try to repot my 6 foot tall 'large form' monstera but i quickly realized not only can i not lift it, its aerials grew behind my heater INTO the wall 😅
Also damn that is a sexy root system
That is how the story of me chopping down my big monstera begins 😂 It rooted into the floor basically 🥲
"We all have that big plant"
Me, *crys in new plant parenthood with only little baby plants*
Also the chore I did, was eat my lunch at work 😆
Oh trust me, they get big fast 😂 Eating lunch is a MUCH better chore :D
Adorable propagations 💚
If only they were bigger 🥲
Mirro, your videos always make my day! I had to laugh at your conversation with Dean😂🤣. I worked on propagating my jade plant while I watched your video
We had a good talk. 😂 Oh new plant babies 💚 I need to work on my propagations as well. I did not touch those verrucosums yet 😂
Yes DMD is not needy supstrate-wise, but oh my, does it looooveeee spider mites 😓
And spider mites love it back 💚
@@BasiePlants They sure do 👿
Butter knives work well 😂
I’ve never had a crawler before
I just got a Gloriosum, my first crawler, it’s just a cutting I’m in the “I hope I don’t kill it” stage 😂
You won’t :) they are tough!

I say 2 months! 🌿
Please no 😂😂😂

Endless mite war 😂 I won’t speak of them too much, they seem to be not around, but let’s not summon them 😂
If you are getting a 4 inch mcdowell, what size rectangular pot size would you get? 6 inch?
I would say yes, possibly even slightly longer. :) Make sure there is plenty space for it to crawl.
Kk I have subscribed 😄
I say 6 months and I potted plant mail
Your plant has freckles 🌷💚🙃
Yes, pretty normal for this cultivar :)
This video definitely NOT sponsored by that crap pot maker.
No 😂 Biggest disappointment ever.
Hi what do you buy the Pumice , i would love to have som for my Big plants ??
Ecuagenera Europe :)
@@BasiePlants thank you ❤️
No room for crawlers here 🌷💚🙃
I completely understand 😂
I just got my first few crawlers and it is a love hate thing!! I watered today in the massive greenhouse, planted some tomatoes, Peppers and basil.

I have no opinion on Philodenrons but the word crawing creeps me out.
They are real creepers for sure.
I like crawling philodendrons.. but don’t have room for them. :-(.
6 months?
5 months
That was pretty much true. Then I had to cut it down. Now I need to repot it again.
4 months
4 months.
I TYPED IT BEFORE YOU SAID IT.
I do hope it is not less 😂 I don't even want to cut it back, I have to go through it all over again then.
