    My grandpa used to overwinter his geraniums similar to what you suggested for the Plumeria. He would remove all the soil and use grandma's stockings to hang them from the rafters in their cold basement (like a cellar). They grew huge and lush every year.

    I have a Rojo Congo Philodendron, but not on purpose, I got a Birken philodendron as a gift, and after two years I had to divide it, as it was outgrowing it’s pot, so I separated the roots, and there were four separate plants, I repotted them in all their own new pots, one died, I think it was just too small, the other three did very well and one of those reverted to back to Rojo Congo and started to flourish, growing so beautifully I can hardly believe it and I love it!

    The umbrella tree. We call it the dwarf umbrella as there is a bigger type that has massive root system and can grow so big it can provide a canopy for an entire ground level house and shade an entire house block of land if left to grow for over 20 years or more. But the roots can be a problem. The normal big umbrella plant can make a very nice house plant too, but the dwarf umbrella is the delightful house plant that grows indoors or outdoors, that I like. It can be grown by a cutting just by laying a branch of it down along the ground and it will grow roots into the soil. One branch, after taking root in the soil all the way along, can be cut at intervals to provide you with several new umbrella plants, then put them in a new pot to grow tall. Usually around 3ft or 4 ft. Many years ago I bought one umbrella plant and have kept replanting new ones from the older ones, so to keep a few in case anything happens to them, but they are so tough and easy to keep happy.

    Not a new plant mom but acquiring more and still learning about their needs. Love your content. I have many of the ones you mentioned but you’re teaching me some things like I’ve probably been watering my ZZ plant way too much 😅 and I didn’t know the Ficus Altissima had variegated leaves because mine sure doesn’t. I just got a new leaf to pop out after 2 months so I’m just happy it’s alive and hasn’t dropped any leaves like my Ficus umbellata or turned brown like my Ficus Tineke. Can’t wait to go back and look at some more of your videos.

      I have a plant I started from very small. I haven't been able to identify it until today. I think I found it on Wikipedia. I think it's a Ficus Altissima but mine has dark green glossy leaves . None of them are variegated. Mine seems to be growing very well. It puts out a pair of new leaves at almost every junction. Recently I've noticed some brown crispy spots on a couple of leaves. I've been trying to find out for sure if I have identified it correctly but I never see one exactly like mine on any of the UTube videos. The description in Wikipedia says this Ficus Altissima requires 50% humidity. They said it could be placed near a container of pebbles & water. Maybe your Ficus Tineke needs humidity. (I'm just guessing)

    Angel wing begonia is super easy to care for and has beautiful burgundy and dark green leaves with silver spots as well as cascades of pink and white flowers. It propagates in water or soil with ease. It will grow almost anywhere (including in planters outdoors in summer!). It doesn't seem to get any pests. It is drought tolerant (great for people that travel a bunch) and loves to completely dry out before getting a good soaking. It's the perfect starter plant!

    Wonderful program. I have a friendly argument going with a neighbor. She tells me you should put your plants in a large container from the start so roots will have room. I tell her you should change size of container as needed without the necessity of large amts of soil from the start so that nutrients can better reach roots. Can you help us out.

    • @HouseplantHelp
      @HouseplantHelp  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you so much. Yes you are correct. If you immediately transplant a small plant into a huge pot the roots will take time to grow into all that extra soil and until it does the soil will never dry out. It will likely stay too wet and damage the roots.

    I love Pony Tail palms and thr number one death thing I see in them is when people plant them in soil. Save yourself and your palm and buy yourself a bag of the gravel like Bonsai mix at Home Depot to plant this guy in. Quick draining and life saving. Only water your pony tail palm when one of the lower branches turns yellow that means its ready for water. Yellowing of the leaves on the top of that palm is a sign of over watering. On average I only water my pony tail palm once every two months and I only water it when again I see one yellow leaf on the bottom base of the plant. 🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴🪴

    Hi! First time watching you as a few years ago, I swore off houseplants all together. I threw them all out in one fell swoop when I realized that they had all contracted these little disgusting bugs. I mean, I didn't have as many plants as you, but the ones I had, I really loved them and had cared for them for a long time. Now I am an outdoor gardener, but after watching your video, I think I'm going to try a swiss cheese plant or string of turtles. Any thoughts on how to be pro active against bugs? I hate that I'm so squeamish about bugs, it's so unpredictably predictable of me, but no one is perfectly imperfect. Make sense? I guess bugs are the yang to plants...I just...ew.

    Hi I asked to grow the Purple Japanese elm tree. Soooooo my husband to buy a tree. Well he came home with the ONE BRANCH of that tree?.????? We are eighty years old and won’t get to see these two separately planted “trees”. I’m so upset. What should I do . He planted into the earth soil. Should I replant in a home planter instead??????HELP!!!!!

    I kill R. tetrasperma. I keep rescuing it by taking cuttings and sticking it in a pot outside. Then when I bring it inside I do the same and take a cutting to plant outside again. Inside I place it near a window and it always dies. The light from the window isn't too harsh and my other plants like pothos all do fine there. I'm pretty good at growing plants including carnivorous plants inside, so having issue with R. tetrasperma is ridiculous. So I would not say they are easy to look after at all.

      I had never heard of these either until recently. When they are neglected not so pretty, but given some attention, not much, they grow so well and look gorgeous. They come in various types. String of dolphins, string of pearls, turtles. Might be more. Australia has them in the big hardware stores - nursery section, and they are positioned outdoors but sheltered against the wall with other succulents.

      I have many, many orchids in N E Florida, after they bloom I put them out under the trees and forget about them, they come back strong next year. I have them in all different kinds of pots; the wooden box I like the least. The ceramic-made for orchid pots are okay but pricey. As long as it’s got room for the roots to grow out of the pot it’s happy. Terra cotta is good as it doesn’t hold water. These are made with holes too. Then there’s clear plastic orchid pots. It’s an air plant, like bromeliads, so it doesn’t like heavy (or any) soil. I use bark for the base. I’ve also just attached some in the crook of trees. A lot of light isn’t necessary as they grow naturally on trees under the canopy of rain forests. Also, don’t cut the blooming stem unless it’s brown/dead. Many people cut the stem after blooms are gone but that stem will produce flowers next year! Hope this helps.

    Plumerias are NOT super easy! I’m from Hawaii and moved to the mainland where I have several plumerias who have all died eventually. Even after being alive for a couple of yrs. I would like to try again and my family will bring me more plumeria starters but it’s not as easy as orchids or any of the other plants you listed. I have 100+ plants in my indoor jungle. I tried to also grow gardenias which have stronger scent and sadly they also eventually died. I would try my next plumeria the ground, of course it will thrive in the summer but likely will die again in the winter indoors.

    • @brettursprung1645
      @brettursprung1645 4 місяці тому +1

      It definitely depends on where you live. I live in central Texas and my plumerias do quite well in a pot. I do bring them inside in the winter after they’ve dropped their leaves from mild cold weather. They sit in a dark cool spot in my house and get no water or direct sunshine throughout the winter months and always come back. I’ve seen some plumerias grown here in this fashion that are over 6 feet tall and probably 15+ years old. I wish you the best of luck with your future plumerias and hope you get to smell their flowers at your place

      @HouseplantHelp  2 місяці тому +1

      You’re right it is a lot of work to move it around if you want to put it outside for the summer, but I do still think of it as an easy plant to keep alive in general. If you just keep it inside in a bright spot it’s pretty low maintenance.
