THANKKKKKKKKKK YOU SO MUCH for doing these experiments and saving thousands of plants throughout the world! yes, on one hand its funny , on the other it is not but throughout all of it, its sad that someone would post horrible things like that and murder living little green organisms that give us soooooooooo much...BLESSSS YOU!
@@desertedenblooms Thank you 😊
Someone woke up and chose comedy! :D
Exactly 😂
🤣
His monstera video is pretty fun as well regarding rotating plants!
‘It gave me Ozzy Osbourne’ 😂
This was hilarious! It’s good to stop being serious once in a while! Thanks Richard! 😻
Agreed!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This unlocked a memory in my head. Back in the day some kid in my school watered a plant with milk once as a prank. It was last few weeks of school. The stench of milk rotting in the summer heat was unbearable. Someone threw up during the class.
Milk and potting soil might as well be poison lol.
Little brat! 😂
The smell must be revolting - thanks for taking one for the team there Richard 👍 The only tip I’ve heard about milk is using it in powdered form when planting tomatoes. Seemingly it’s good for stopping blight. It was a tomato grower that told us this so worth a try.
Let's just say never again! Is that on the leaves?
@@SheffieldMadePlants no it’s sprinkled in the earth around the roots
Tomatoes use a lot of calcium while growing, lots of people enrich their soil with calcium before planting, also zucchini and squash to help with blossom end rot
I love how you are always proving 5 Minute Crafts wrong! I hope your tree survives!
On a mission 😂
Thanks for taking the time to prove these witches wrong ❤❤❤
FUNNY HOW YOU TUBE will docks and cancel the truth but when it comes to 5 minute crafts and like channels disseminating death of plants which are useful and needed by allll...they dont give a damn and allow it...why are is 5 minute crafts still allowed to operate while spreading lies ! thank yuuuuuuuu dear dear Sheffeld. live your channel and accents!
As always a great video. I make yogurt, which leaves behind wey, I dilute this way approximately 1/10 water and use it as a fertiliser, but I don't administer it at every watering. I have found this to be beneficial, particularly for a reluctant to flower Peace Lilly. After a few weeks of just one dose of my wey solution, flowers began to develop and the plant flowers generously now. I didn't experience any bugs or fowel smells. Perhaps it was the dilution, perhaps it was the wey rather than the full monty of milk, I actually don't know the answer, I can only convey my experience with diluted wey from yogurt making
Interesting! Thanks
I've used deleted milk and my plants loved it as there in a south facing window but You must not do it to often😮 also during a fungus outbreak I did do diluted apple cider vinegar and it worked great but in both cases a capful in water only 😂🤣😂🤣💖
@@sandieedward993 The Cider vinegar is interesting
😂 Comedy gold!
Aside from the smell (and killing your plant), it would get awfully expensive using milk to water your plants!
Good point!
I love the editing style of this video! Your plant care tips are always so useful 🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
I think diluting the milk or yogurt further and giving it once in a while might help like it did after your first application.. it did help in the growth of new shoots.. and then maybe if you had stopped the plant roots wouldn't rot. Just my thought watching this experiment.. 😊
Good shout!
Yes true. An article says to use milk once and a while , not every time
Yes, fresh milk diluted into water is great. BuildASoil sells a product called "Ya Whey" which is Whey from Cheese manufacturing that they make into a product.
Lactic Acid Bacteria (LABS) is Milk that is fermented and that is part of certain Plant Philosophies such as JADAM and KNF.
Well done myth busting Richard, but the thought of how that plant must have smelled after 2 weeks makes me feel🤢🤢🤢 and I wasn’t even there! Mrs Sheffield must be an understanding woman
It wasn’t pleasant!
I can't believe 5 Minute Crafts would just lie to us like that. 😢
And for what? Hundreds of millions of views?
Glad it’s not working 😅
I just realized I never knew his name was Richard.
Hi Richard, this was awesome! Very informative, and love your scientific approach 😄 I was cracking up through the whole vid. It's one of my favourite vids so far! 💜
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you 😊
You're welcome 😃
U are for entertainment purposes only, great way to keep us informed, thanks for all the plant info🙂
I had no idea people were doing this! 🤯I wouldn't even attempt it mainly for fear of pests! Side note: I always appreciate a good BTTF reference! 😁👍🏾
Best trilogy right?
Egg shells, tomato soup, coffee…people will put anything in their plant soil except actual fertilizer.
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yes!!!!
Can I just say that the editing and humor on this video was top notch, you had me in stitches throughout 🤣
Yay, thank you!
😂
I knew someone who always had some off milk to get rid of and he tipped it on one plant out of a row and that plant was doing better than the rest.
I love it when plantubers work with each other. I adore Kill this Plant!
Very funny
"I haven't got the patience for that, you see."
Ain't nobody got time for that!! 😂
I love it.
Thank you 😊
I love this video its so goofy but so fun to watch the experiment! Hope to see more videos like this. This made my day.
Thank you 😊
Very entertaining, Richard! Thanks for this video, it was fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Richard, you are probably the most entertaining. informative and creative UA-camrs out there! I'm watching this in the early morning hours on the Oregon coast. Nothing like starting the day off with laughter. Yeah, I'm probably not going to try this. lol Let us know if the Milky Joe survived.
Thank you!
Richard's gone loco and I LOVE it. Also, was I the only one distracted by the t shirt stain?
Congrats you win! The first person to notice 😂 I'll make it free to subscribe to the channel 😉
I went back and saw it, lol. I found dawn dish soap good at getting stains out. 😃
it seems like a workable way to refresh soil in a single dose, but not as a recurrent fertiliser. There's no way that early growth was a coincidence
I would NEVER skip ahead and miss your jokes! Congrats on your new style, looks good to see you let your hair down (🤣)
You're the best!
I love how this video was edited!!
Thank you 😊
You funny man😂 Thanks for that.. what a pleasant surprise, had a good laugh
Glad you enjoyed it
Very funny! I was surprised it seemed like the milk helped at first, but then it got FUNKY!~
Funky indeed 😂
Fantastic Richard! great experiment hope Milky Joe survived.The two plants must have been having great conversations with each other!😆
Thank you 😊 it’s not looking good for joe
My absolute favorite video of yours!!! Truly informative and funny!
Wow, thanks!
Great video! Very informative and really funny! Keep it going!😂
Thank you! Will do!
This is by FAR your best video
Thank you 😊
This was hilarious to watch and surprised how long the money tree lasted without roots. Amazing plant to say the least. I'm sure roots will grow with some tender loving care and WATER, ha! Love the video, Richard!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are so funny. I needed that!
Glad you liked it 😁
This is so funny and educating as well ❤😂
Thanking you!
Without a doubt my favorite plant channel. I bought some digestives to try in the USA to eat when I’m watching your videos haha.
Wow, thank you!
Please incorporate more of your humor in you videos. The jokes had me rolling. Great experiment!
Will do! 😁
Another awesome video. Thank you.!! The commentary had me cracking up 😂
Glad you enjoyed 😁
I absolutely love your style!!!! Keep up the videos!
Thank you so much!!
Your videos keep getter better and better. ❤ You have such a wonderful sense of humor! Great content as always, can’t wait for the soy one. I’m predicting 🌱☠️
Thank you so much!!
I was not expecting this video lol great content
Thank you 😊
Omg the editing is hilarious!!
Thank you 😊
I just watched the video for the first time and it’s one of the most entertaining videos I’ve seen on LibTube. I’ve seen other videos where people claimed that using milk really worked for their plants. After seeing your video I decided to drink the milk, and leave the plants to MasterBlend!
I think that’s the best way 😁
Love the new video. And the comedic effect, ur like the mr Bean of plants
Lol that’s a compliment
Wow, thanks
I just LOVE this channel😂😂😂😂😂😂 oh my there is so much to comment in this one😂 I have to say my nostrils scrunched inwards trying to escape the future in pure panic from the very start that milking plant started🤢🐽
My biggest fear was the smell and I hereby give mrs Sheffield the patience-with-hubbys-hobbys awards🤓
THANK YOU for this hillarious video!❤😂
😂 thanks!
Outstanding, bravo bravisimo and enjoyable, informative as well ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
You can give milk and yogurt once or twice a month, it works wonders. Just make sure it doesn’t make a coating on top of the soil.
👍👍👍
Great humor , Shef
😎👍
Thank you 😊
Oh my. I must admit, you are good and very educational 😊
Thank you! 😃
I am glad you tried it so I don't have to 😂👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
I took the hit don't worry 😂
hahaha, my new favourite YT channel I really like Your sense of humour :)
Wow, thanks!
I was laughing 😂 so hard, information and fun great video
Awesome! Thank you!
Great video!
Thanks!
I only used two drops on a stunted seedling. Also a couple worms. Came right back to life
Your dry humor cracks me up! I noticed you use the sticky things for your bugs. How well do they work? I saw a tip with matches. You stick the bit that ignites in the soil. It works for a little while.
Yellow cards are pretty good at getting the adults. Doesn’t solve the problem though. Not heard that hack
Try growing a garlic bulb in the plant. Allium from garlic will deter bugs and disrupt the larval stage
Milk if devoid of fat could be a very good all purpose organic liquid fertilizer. NPK is around 0.5
NPK 0.5:0.15:0.15 or so. Fat is not healthy for soil and roots so if you have that in, you should only use as a foliar feed (stinks a bit though). it is advised to reduce fat content if non-fat milk is not available by diluting with water. If you want low risk reduce fat content to well below 0.5% - so maybe use 1:5 ratio with a 1.5% fat milk.
I always enjoy your videos
Marvellous 🤩
Who else thinks of our helpful green friend as Sheffield and not Richard?😅
😂
I really enjoy content like this. Not only because of your lovely humour (😉), but also because this 5-minute junk exploits the innate human search for simple answers to (however complex) questions with bad intentions. After all, there are people who are not badly enriched by this rip-off.
So I admire that you have found a charming way to properly simplify the facts of a very complex question in Robin Hood fashion.
Glad you liked it 😁
I love the British expression "have a nosy"
😁
This is why i always watch your videos from start to finish to see the end results lol. Great videos as always! Btw the smell i can imagine 😷 😂
Awesome! Thank you!
I love love love my money trees and it’s funny because I was just gonna ask you to do a video on your money trees!😊 I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one who names their plants😂💕🙋🏻♀️
Poor old milky joe eh 😂
@@SheffieldMadePlants that must have been so stinky 🤢 lol 😂
Great video! One element that would add to the comic absurdity would be a completely clueless, but very proud thumbs up :D
😁
I know this; milk has calcium. Calcium builds up and forms a hard layer. Milk is covering the roots. A bony layer is growing around the roots.
Possible solution?
One watering with milk. The next two with water. 🙂
mmm a house smelling of baby sick, thanks for taking one for the team.
Your humor is everything. Damn, I love a good ol' classic English comedian.
Thank you 😊
Oh my gosh I love this video it was so funny did a great job I would have never thought about using milk and I'm never going to do it
Thank you 😊
Fun experiment. In the end who would want to smell sour milk on a plant. 😮 have a blessed day.
Summed up with aplomb!
😂 milk and biscuits for you mate good one! That’s a crazy hack.
It really is!
To answer your question on a recent video & not seeing your next video on the screen above your fingers. I watch on a Kindle Fire.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
The daft expressions are on point 😂
Had to be on this one 🤣
Question - watering in the sink (RO water, not tap) always leave soil in the sink...how come that doesn't happen to you? Don't you have chlorine in your water? The chlorine in the tap water can kill beneficial bacteria. If I am forced to use tap water, I must let the chlorine blow off for about 3 hours. My water is very, very hard....278 ppm./mg/L or 16/3 grains/gallon. So I use RO water. THANKS. PS The white cover should be on BOTH plants....you have introduced a new variable!
This video explains it

the hero we didn't know we needed
😂
You are so funny with your fill in pictures
😂 thanks!
This was hilarious 😂 as well as being very interesting.
Thanks
The humour in this really tickled me 😂
Glad you liked it 😁
dont worry too much about the rotted off roots. i got a pachira as a gift, immediately repotted it and had zero roots to start, they had all rotted off. but the pachira has a lightly bulby stem which acts as a water reservoir. so they can go without regular watering (or roots) for a little while they produce new roots. they did look a bit sad, i separated mine, and one of them had only one leaf for like 6 months, but they are now all happy and leafy. not as bushy as yours, since its single stems, but still very pretty.
Good to know thanks 👍
LOL great video!🤣
Thanks! 😁
😂😂😂😂 - greetings from Hamburg - Germany to England 😂😂😂 youre great👍🏻
Hey, thanks!
Very funny and very interesting vidio!! 😂
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your sacrifice
I do it so you dont have to 😁
Experiment request: which plants can be propagated with stem cuttings vs leaf. Or which plants can only be propagated by division.
👍👍👍
I love your channel so much
Wow, thank you!
I will try it. On my money plant 🌱 thanks.
Interesting experiment. I always heard you could use milk for leaf shine,but as you said. Pests would be a problem. Interesting how it killed the roots. Lovely video.
Thank you 😊
@@SheffieldMadePlants quite clever of you too try that. Is the money tree, (pachira aquatica) , still alive?
@@minglee4121 it's hanging on...just
@@SheffieldMadePlants 🤞
Ozzy snorted a pile of ants as well.. I was wondering where that reference was going 😅 great vid I'll avoid the milk :-)
Immediately I was thinking about over-fertilization
When you buy plants in pot, the soil is already fed in the plant nursery. That says a lot, as the nutrients will be consumed in quite a long time.
Loved your experiment 😂 Milk has fats. Might as well throw in grease from your vegetable stir fry - it will have nutrients from the veggies and use some vegan-type oil like avocado or EVO. Nice way to prevent your roots from breathing.
Very true!
Milk is great for flowering plants outdoors though. This year I watered my geraniums on the balcony, once a month with a mixture of 1 liter fresh milk with 4 liters of water. They have been blooming like crazy all summer long !!!!! 👍😉
Interesting 🤔
@@SheffieldMadePlants Yes. I read that tip on the internet and thought I'd give it a try, as I found that the chemical fertilizers didn't work that well.
Even my neighbours were commenting what lovely flowers I had this year !!!!!. Didn't let them in on my secret though 🤣🤣🤣
You should have put a paper circle on the control plant like you did on the experimental plant. That way there would only be one variable.
Maybe 🤔
Thank you, I agree. They should be identical.
I love this video ! 😂😂 Thank you for the experience but the water Money tree look great
Thanks for watching!
Watching from Kenya🇰🇪
👋
I can't imagine the stenches coming from the milk plant.
You should check beer trick, I've heard adding some beer to watering can boost growth but never bothered to check
Thanks for the idea
This was a great time!
But wait. Did the Milky Joe's roots ever recover?
It’s kinda gone down hill for our Joe ☹️
hello , thanks for your video , i want to know if your plant or soil smell after a few days of using milk to wet it?
Yes didn’t take long to smell
I’ve never seen a video of a tree dying being that funny
😂 thanks!
Great video, thank you. I laughed out loud throughout! I think it’s safe to say plants are lactose intolerant!
By the way, is Mrs Sheffield a change manager? Noticed a particular poster!
Good spot and yes she is 😁
