He got me in the first half😭. I will support you in anything. If you sell plants I’ll buy some, if you sell moss poles I’ll buy them, if you make more plant experiments I’ll watch them. Love this channel so much. You got me into my plant journey with the lemon trees from seed video. Now I have 2 gorgeous large lemon trees and a full on greenhouse of houseplants. Can’t wait for what this channel becomes💚💚
You really got me worried for a few seconds!!! 🤯😂 I can't stress enough how glad I am that you're still enjoying your plants and your plantscience and will continue to provide us with fun, chaotic and informative content! And best wishes for your growing family! ❤🎉😊
Personally, I’m a fan of large leaves so I like your experiments regarding pothos, anthuriums, moss poles, and staking up plants. Anything to make a leaf grow larger.
Just wantet to say thanks for all your work and experiments here! Im recommending your channel to everyone who gets into plants or just for people to calm down when they repot and repot and repot etc!
Glad you’re sticking with it! I’d love to see more terrarium content, and more ontogeny experiments on common houseplants. Seeing how different that common pothos grew under ideal conditions blew my mind, and I’m curious to see other examples of how plants will develop under optimal conditions vs how we normally see them in the hobby.
Omg, you scared me! There have been so many plant people who are quitting and your channel is definitely one of the more interesting/ scientific ones that I love. Thank you for making such great content!
A giant terrarium would be really cool! You could potentially sell custom terrariums if you’re making them yourself- there’s a lot of stuff you can sell for terrariums. Also, I personally like the idea of buying anthurium seeds.
ive been trying to build my mature plants up so i can have steady seed production so hopefully I can get them producing a lot! Any anthurium you are particularly interested in?
Loved the energy of this video. So respect your honesty and integrity. I can’t wait to see future videos. The products I feel are lacking in terms of options are plant pots. I’d love more clear options that nest for easy storage and come in different dimensions beyond traditional height/width options readily available. That falls outside what you’re asking for when it comes to ideas but that’s what I’ll be looking for this year. I’d also like very large clear options for potting plants that are water tight and light.
Also I don’t think having multiple subjects (like branching out into terrariums and fish tanks) would hurt the channel- if anything it’d pull in people from other similar hobbies. My fav content is the experimentation because it debunks myths and helps me manage my plants better, and throwing terrariums and tanks in adds more subjects to make experiments about. Looking forward to whatever you do!
I am really excited for the aquarium/terrarium content as well as the experiment videos! It think it would be cool to be able to buy plants from you when you get the shop going. Keep up the great work. I am excited for more, but with the baby on the way, I will definitely understand if your focus gets drawn away from UA-cam this year. I will still around for whatever you come out with!
I don’t have a 3D printer, but I’m fascinated by them and what people create with them. I don’t think I’ve seen a lot of channels experiment with plants and 3D printing stuff, so I’d be really excited to see some videos on that.
What i struggle with a lot is knowing how much fertilizer is too much or not enough, especially with liquid fertilizer like dynagro foliage pro. So one experiment you could do is see the result way underfertilizing vs the recommended vs way overfertilizing over a couple months. You would have to pick an inert media like cococoir plus perlite to make sure the plants are not getting any nutrients besides what you give them.
3D printed moss poles would definitely be something I’d buy. With your plantified brain, I think yours would be way better than the outrageously priced ones available now. TERRARIUMS! It would be so fun to order the items and then build it with you doing a video. LOVE all that you do. I don’t have a printer, but always wish I knew someone who did, so I could order special items. AQUARIUMS! Yes, I really really want an aquarium with plants and possibly a few fish or critters.
Glad to hear, I have some stuff cooking where you could buy a kit and build it. Right now im working on ways to aid in assembly. because taping the glass up and caulking it isnt the easiest thing in the world
I'd love to buy more established plants as opposed to all shops selling only cuttings as I'm not very good at keeping them alive and maybe you could organize your shop way better than most do in terms of plants by separating them into categories such as: climbing plants, small/large terrarium plants, and other niche categories. it could be really helpful if any of this makes any sense
Great job on the ad. Don’t feel bad that you have to do it. At least you’re honest and genuine and it fit well into your story. You’re convincing now I want one! Keep us updated on the shop. I’ll be the first to purchase a Thai constellation from you! Can’t wait!
@@TechplantChannel I’m doing the same with my Pothos. I have about 20-30 that I should start selling but never got to it, but this is the year where we do! Haha good luck.
I'd like to see more videos on how you manage all of your plants; the whole system, more of a macro view. For the shop, I'd buy plants or seeds. Congrats on the new baby!

Please do the holiday schlumbergeras. Even aside from STOP TREATING THEM LIKE TROPICAL CACTUSES! THEY'RE EPIPHYTES! angle, there is a lot of misinformation floating around about them just because their immortality and holiday marketing makes them so accessible; but while it's very hard to kill them, it's also very hard to make them thrive! People inherit these massive christmas-tree shaped meter tall cactuses that have been in the family for 4 generations and do not know how to maintain them. people don't know how to make them that tall! there are no good guides for them online other than a few odd reddit posts that only talk about soil and barely mention fertilizer.
I have one thats been in my collection for about 2 years now but i have not given them much thought other than i like it. This has inspired me to look more into it! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND KIND WORDS!
also it drives me wild watching those content farms that show sticking plants into bananas and then showing tomato sprouts LMAO AHHHHHHHHHHHH they get millions of views. One of my all time favs was when they show someone BOILING AN ORCHIDS ROOTS TO PROMOTE FLOWERING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Truth. I have a 19 year old and he is more expensive now that he is an adult. Always needing a new iPhone or computer and with the high cost of rent he won’t be moving out anytime soon.
Here's my 2¢! It's a personal choice & the Powers that Be can always decide otherwise & that's the way it should remain, so keep ur 2¢ cuz in the end it's not worth very much!
I definitely would be interested in buying propagated plants and the 3d printed things. Also the terrarium is a great idea as like pre-built one is beautiful and they make great gifts
Hey! Love the videos and I've enjoyed your channel for quite some time now. Something I've always wondered but never had the dedicated space to experiment with is if you can graft indoor plants successfully. I'm really interested in learning about tree grafting and wonder if something similar can be done with indoor plants.
Its possible, I tried once but failed due to a multitude of reasons but a lot of commenters had great educational comments and so i will try again and talk about how to make it work and why others are not as easy to make work!
Im building the giant one with them in mind. I gotta learn more about how they climb and what their capabilities are tho i dont want some to like fall in cracks or get out and die
@@TechplantChannelJosh’s Frogs sells this black insulation foam that you can fill in the cracks with. The frogs will get into crevices and get stuck. They are climbers so they will be all over the background. You can use that foam to custom build little “holes” to plant the wall with bromeliads and other air plants etc. me personally I like to be able to remove the background or maybe you could use plexi glass or wood to create the background on. In the past I’ve made the background onto the tank and I didn’t like that I couldn’t take it out to clean or change up of if I wanted to. Also, you can use coconut husk or fibers and lightly dust the foam while it’s still wet to give a more realistic look.
Thanks for all your videos. I have learned a lot from you at the same time starting off learning about indoor plants and information in general. Its been awesome. Love the experiments. Keep them going if possible. Congrats on the 2nd child heheh. The terrarium thing is a great idea. Its been something ive been looking at as well :)
I’d love to see more terrariums and planted fish tanks because honestly I got into both because of plants and I think people should be aware that all plants are awesome. And both have opportunities for weird plants people haven’t seen before when you finally make a paludarium I think people will see that not everything needs big plants to have a slice of nature in your house.
I loved late night ramblings of a mad man! Ha ha Normalize talking to your plants! Experiment: cutting notches into small trees for new growth. Like ficus elastica and lyrata. I want to see Vivariums, specifically an aesthetically pleasing display tank for your isopods. And I would love to buy alocasia corms from you.😍
You mentioned getting into hydroponics. I have been getting more into semi-hydroponics and would like to see ideas you have with that. Maybe some 3D printed self watering pots. Also, I love terrariums.
I only found your channel around the end of 2022, so I’m SO GLAD you’re not quitting too because it’s one of my favorites!! 1. If you sell your printed moss poles, I would absolutely buy some. They’re the coolest ones I’ve seen anywhere and I don’t have a printer myself. 2. I’m super interested in terrariums and aquariums, even though I don’t have any myself. I watch a couple of channels that do videos like “100 days from this to this” where they go from an empty jar to a desert ecosystem or a rainforest ecosystem, etc. They’re very fun to watch and it’s another long-term experiment type of video that those other channels seem to enjoy making. 3. Dude, get your money and include any sponsors you like!! I will not be judging because I have to make money myself too! 4. I LOVE the long-term experiments but I also understand they take more time and effort than other types of content. I’ll be here for whatever you do. 5. If you sell TC plants I would definitely buy some. Especially if they’re not crazy expensive.
I am all about all of this and support this direction you're going 100% I've got single plants down but am definitely more eager to hear your coverage on a variety of terrariums. I started a semi-aquatic one yesterday and it's so much fun! I'm also leaning towards 3D printing as I'm finding need for items I don't see available for sale yet, so I'd live to follow those videos too. I found this channel recently and have been binging and taking lots of notes and points to ask about. Thanks!
More videos on Terrariums would be pretty cool. It's something I'm looking to get into and it's a nice way to great some life in a limited space. I don't have a 3D printer, by the way, but I have friends that do.
The YESOUL spin bike has totally leveled up my workout game! Loving how I can mirror various cycling classes to keep things interesting and myself motivated. Super fun way to stay fit!
Christmas didn’t come early, but April fools did! I absolutely love this channel and it has inspired me to absolutely GROW my plant collection. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for so much inspiration and giving me the motivation to keep growing plants
One experiment that I would like to see personally is testing the optimal/minimum amount of time it takes to root a plant cutting in water and then transfer it to semi hydro (Leca, Pon, etc) I'm really impatient so I transfer my plants to Pon too quickly and some of them can handle it and others don't so it would be neat to get some data for that. Similarly, transferring a plant from soil to water to semi-hydro would also be a good experiment idea. I find that most of the soil roots die off when I do this so I wonder if it make sense to cut them off from the beginning and grow new roots or try to transfer the old roots, and finding a sweet spot in terms of timing for the best results. I'm personally really interested in semi-hydro I think its the biggest innovation in plant growing so anything relating to that is something I'd love to see. I hope 2024 is a good year!
Aquariums and terrariums are sick, I've been watching some other creators videos on them and I think it'd be great to watch what you can do with that stuff as well!
I'm so excited for 24! But crap, I see aquariums and terrariums in my future😂. We Love you and your channel, so keep up the good work and don't be so hard on yourself. Your videos got me and alot of others to dive into the plant world and enjoy learning from you and your experiments or as you say expeeermints. 😉
i hear you, i feel energized from your thoughts and direction, generally going forward its great to hear someone use their wins to gain more momentum,... can you show us what it takes to make my monstera fruit or somehow make the plants work for me somehow maybe ask your intentions n pulll it from your cloud and bring it forward to us... u know
I have an experiment idea: I believe plants can recover from minor root rot themselves. But everything online says I have to deal with it asap or my whole plant will die. I feel like my plants that have very minor rot do better when I just let them be and fix whatever I did to cause it in the first place. It actually does more damage to completely uproot, mess with the roots, repot, etc, but I could definitely be wrong
i agree with what you are saying, ive had plants that are mid rot on some roots and i change my care and they recover as well as when ive repotted ive found old rotted roots that have dried up and new roots comming out right above where it stopped
Your experiments are always so interesting, so more of those. But honestly I enjoy all of your videos. 3D printing would be interesting, especially with your knowledge of plants. And terrariums I'd love to see how you do terrariums 😀
Aquariums and specially aquatic plant content would be awesome. I got into aquascaping exacly like you mention, my love of plants was to much not to grow some underwater gardens
You are a wealth of information; thank you! Love the experiments (would love not see some with lighting; I am playing with all kinds of different coleus and their coloring) , general plant info, all of the different kinds of plants, great close ups and SO much more! A few thoughts/comments: Don't move the camera so fast, if yo can use a 3-D printer with wood, go for it, we have WAY too much plastic, could you sell your largest plants (for a pretty penny) to local businesses? And YES to the terrariums and tanks!
@@TechplantChannel awesome thanks! I’ll give you a culture of hydei fruit flies to feed your sundews if you’d like too. Another experiment could be showing 2 sundews that are the same size and feeding one but not the other over like anywhere from 2-6 months would be so cool to see. Same with pitcher plants cause I only have one nepenthes right now but I bought mealworms from a reptile store and just loaded it up to see how much it would increase growth vs just my natural fungus gnat population lol
Looking forward to your content in 2024!!!! Your passion and enthusiasm for the plant world is contagious biased on all of the heartfelt comments!😊 Keep up the good work!!! How about creating Techplant terrarium kits for sale?❤
Sounds like it's time to do a ton of cuttings, propagate in water to root and sell them to further fund your ideas that you want to do. Not to mention it'll help create new spaces once you start selling. And it sounds like there's a lot of people who would be interested in buying. Just a thought.
I love everything that has to do with aquariums, palidariums and terrariums. It's just a beautiful creative way to create living art and to see your plants and critters growing and thriving in their own little worlds.
Hey as far as experiments, I’m trying to work on some designs for a rotating trellis to test out. I was wondering if there was a way to discuss it. Basically the plan is to let the plant climb itself and rotate it so its growth point is always growing upwards. That would compact the size and allow even grow light exposure since it lessens the difficulties of even lighting vertically. Also as someone who struggles with pests, do terrarium content. I have started putting the plants I would have given up on in my frog tank and the environment nursed a few back to health. Give me more ways to save plants please. Isolated growth in a terrarium kept my jewel orchid alive when everything got pests. I lost most of my favorite plants but I want to start making terrariums for some of my collection to prevent the great pest rampage of 2023 from ever happening again.
Videos - Your experiments are great, you can probably make more than 1 video from the footage (release experiment update videos) to maximize the footage since I understand people appreciate the long period experiments but this leads to slower video releases. I think people would appreciate even just more plant/grow tip vids. Or plant spotlight videos. Species Collection videos. How to pollinate. Tissue culture. Etc. Plant store too - plants for sure, moss pole, trellis, etc. i think sell the actual products would be good, most ppl likely don’t have 3D printer, including me. But there are some people w 3D printers so you can also sell the designs for cheaper than the actual product price, if you would like. I personally am not in terrarium/aquarium at this time but would be open to the content and I do know a lot of people in this community are into either one or the other as well. You are great and we wish you all the best in the years and ventures ahead
Nice! I love that you are doubling down because I absolutely love your videos and am always looking for new ones to drop. I’ve only been watching your channel for about a year now but I always come back and watch your older videos because I can’t wait for more. ok here’s an idea possibly for an experiment or a question, or just maybe you can make up an experiment out of it. 20 years ago I got the idea of rooting out spider plants in food coloring water, I thought it would be cool to see different colored leaves, concept came from broccoli experiment in food coloring as a kid, anyways they didn’t take up the color of the water into their leaves, so it’s like the roots filtered it out or something. Anyways maybe you can make something up out of that. Glad you’re not stopping posting, me and my family love watching your channel.
When I clicked on the video I was hoping that the thing that was going to be different was that your content was going to be getting even more bonkers, I'm glad to see you had the same thing in mind. If you have a setup for time lapse photography, that could be a fun addition to the experiments. I have a few things I'd like to try myself but first I have to make some space to set such things up.
lol I have two dedicated old DSLRs and the timelapse dongle but similar to what youve said its more like setting up the tripod and stuff without knocking it all round is hard to pull off. BUT WE ARE GOING HAM IN 2024 SO NOW I WANNA
@@TechplantChannelI have a box in my closet with some lights and a few cameras... which works fine most of the time, but if I touch anything slightly when watering the whole thing gets bumped which is kind of a pain.
I use a 3D printer to make custom perfectly fitting semi hydro inserts for my nice ceramic pots so I'm hyped for 3D printing content. I keep watching your channel for the more nerdy things, learning about about the biology of plants and so on. Love watching your experiments.
overall general ideas regarding experiments being terrarium experiments and how to deal with those more humid pests and moulds with the lack of ventilation in closed terrariums?? ive been struggling with terrarium building and i live in a relatively arid climate. small diy greenhousing racks on relative budgets and limited tools as well? an enclosed space that could look like. at least nice or slick for presentation but uses relatively cheap materials! and talking tech regarding lighting fixtures & bulbs?
Terrariums are where I want to go this year. ❤ to see decent sizes and the substrate vs false bottoms. Best and safest charcoal to use. Many questions. Looks like my basement 😂. Need ways to display them especially in terrariums. Thanks
I absolutely love your channel. I’m here for the long haul. I would love to see alternative ways to propagate some plants. For instance have you ever propagated snake plants in perlite or moss. I love anything you post cause I usually learn something new. Good luck with the new baby.
Hey Matt! LOVE the idea of the tent terrarium, but more basic small types don't interest me too much as I've seen looooooads on Serpa's channel, and I'm kinda over it. haha. I'd buy plants from your shop but I live in the UK so don't think that's really possible unfortunately. Very excited for more experiements, they're my favourite content you put out. Really unique and fascinating. The aquarium content will be quite interesting. I've watched a lot of aqua scapers but watching your take on the set up and maintenance would be really interesting. Congratulations on Baby #2! Excited to see what you do with 2024. I'll be here to watch every video regardless of what it is!
i love your channel. I don't have a 3d Printer. The most helpful videos are your experiments and how to stake the monsteras to boards. Some ideas for the channel: I have no idea on how to grow my huge pothos plants vertically up and that would be helpful. Experiments with liquid fertilizers would be helpful. Also how to read the water quality report from your water company. Should I add stresscoat+ to my tap water for plants?
I would love to see terrarium content! I just made my first mini terrarium a month or two ago and I love it. I would love to learn more. On 3D printers I just got rid of mine, but I can still access it and I am very interested in 3D printed moss poles. Thirdly, I’m very curious about terrariums, both as a fish habitat, and for growing plants under water. Your content is excellent, and I’m happy that you are expanding in to new areas. Congrats on your baby!
Do you plan on revisiting your spagnum moss experiment? I remember you saying something about putting a kiddie pool outside and seeing if it would be possible to grow moss. I would even buy a kit for that if you ever sold one. Super excited for the new projects this year!
I really love watching you grow so big. I remember when i first met you , you had around like 20k subs now u have 200k. Congrats!! hope 2024 will be great for you
Yeees, I love the experiments! I am mostly interessted in aroids, as I thing most plant people in generell mostly have them, but I am sure the terrarium and aquarium content will be fun to watch as well. For Ideas: maybe comparing the groth on mosspole vs plank vs bamboo stake
I'm so glad ur not giving up on TechPlant! I think selling ur merch would b fab! I would love 2 b able 2 make my own well built terrariums as cheaply as possible & use found items where possible. Maybe showing us how 2 clean & use driftwood, stones, moss (real moss not decorative fake moss)? I do not have a 3-D printer but I kniw those who do & I mifht b interested in buying 1 if I could weigh the benefits against the investment costs & upkeep vs buying product from other sources? I have been asking everyone if plants can b sustained indefinitely in perlite & what would b the best way 2 do it? Which, if any fertilizers can/must I use? Would moss poles work in that setup the same as they work in Leca or Pon? But I have really not gotten any real answers 2 these questions. Can u help me with any of this! Idk, does any of this help? 🤎 ur channel❣
fantastic suggestions. Im working on DIY terrerium kits as we speak and cooking up ways to make assembly very easy but with a fantastic finished product
Terrarium content would be huge for your channel in my opinion, they are super fun to make and can definitely make an easy video out of. And also if you wanted any poison dart frogs for your terrariums I have a surplus! I’d be happy to give you some and can give you some fruit flies as well. Also for aquarium content if you ever do saltwater I can hook you up, just come to best fish by the fiserv forums on the weekends and I’ll be there. We also have tons of freshwater fish and inverts too.
@@TechplantChannel yes I do, don’t mind all my old bs on there from way back in high school I haven’t used it since then besides to look at shit lmao but we actually just recently talked a bit about sundews it’s Taylor__pink . I love these frogs and can tell you pretty much anything you need to know about them, the care is ultra simple tho so don’t be worried and they aren’t actually poisonous in captivity either so you can even touch them. But the species I have to is I kid you not… the most toxic animal with a vertebrae on planet earth in the wild which is kinda cool.

People inherit these massive christmas-tree shaped meter tall cactuses that have been in the family for 4 generations and do not know how to maintain them. people don't know how to make them that tall! there are no good guides for them online other than a few odd reddit posts that only talk about soil and barely mention fertilizer.
I have one thats been in my collection for about 2 years now but i have not given them much thought other than i like it. This has inspired me to look more into it! THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND KIND WORDS!
also it drives me wild watching those content farms that show sticking plants into bananas and then showing tomato sprouts LMAO AHHHHHHHHHHHH they get millions of views. One of my all time favs was when they show someone BOILING AN ORCHIDS ROOTS TO PROMOTE FLOWERING AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
No more propagating humans, they're WAY more expensive than plants to sustain! 🤯 Just my two cents, you asked for it. 😂
Truth. I have a 19 year old and he is more expensive now that he is an adult. Always needing a new iPhone or computer and with the high cost of rent he won’t be moving out anytime soon.
lmaooo, my wife said no more unless we get rich ( not happening lmao ) so i think we are done!
make him water your plants for his Iphone money lol
@@TechplantChannel brooo with the amount of plants you have, poor child wouldn't have time to touch his iPhone! 😂
Here's my 2¢! It's a personal choice & the Powers that Be can always decide otherwise & that's the way it should remain, so keep ur 2¢ cuz in the end it's not worth very much!
For me the main thing I need is more small plants for my ikea grow shelves
I have some small plants I can show in a video just to give you an idea of whats out there!
Looking forward to the terrarium and aquascape content!
glad to hear!
At first I got sad, but then you made my day! With all the goodbyes it’s nice to hear a stay.
for sure, many of my favs are leaving too it sucks!!
I definitely would be interested in buying propagated plants and the 3d printed things. Also the terrarium is a great idea as like pre-built one is beautiful and they make great gifts
yeah im cooking up some terrarium kits that make assembly really easy
I personally really like the experiments and aroid advice, genuinely anything moss pole related is a huge topic for me
good to know! Thank you for the input it helps a lot!
Hey! Love the videos and I've enjoyed your channel for quite some time now. Something I've always wondered but never had the dedicated space to experiment with is if you can graft indoor plants successfully. I'm really interested in learning about tree grafting and wonder if something similar can be done with indoor plants.
Its possible, I tried once but failed due to a multitude of reasons but a lot of commenters had great educational comments and so i will try again and talk about how to make it work and why others are not as easy to make work!
If you made an online shop I would definitely buy some plants from your online shop. I think it would be cool if you made a terrarium for dart frogs.
Im building the giant one with them in mind. I gotta learn more about how they climb and what their capabilities are tho i dont want some to like fall in cracks or get out and die
@@TechplantChannelJosh’s Frogs sells this black insulation foam that you can fill in the cracks with. The frogs will get into crevices and get stuck. They are climbers so they will be all over the background. You can use that foam to custom build little “holes” to plant the wall with bromeliads and other air plants etc. me personally I like to be able to remove the background or maybe you could use plexi glass or wood to create the background on. In the past I’ve made the background onto the tank and I didn’t like that I couldn’t take it out to clean or change up of if I wanted to. Also, you can use coconut husk or fibers and lightly dust the foam while it’s still wet to give a more realistic look.
Thanks for all your videos. I have learned a lot from you at the same time starting off learning about indoor plants and information in general. Its been awesome. Love the experiments. Keep them going if possible. Congrats on the 2nd child heheh. The terrarium thing is a great idea. Its been something ive been looking at as well :)
Great to hear!
I’d love to see more terrariums and planted fish tanks because honestly I got into both because of plants and I think people should be aware that all plants are awesome. And both have opportunities for weird plants people haven’t seen before when you finally make a paludarium I think people will see that not everything needs big plants to have a slice of nature in your house.
I got so sad at first. You got me 😅. Keep up the good work 😊. Congrats 🎉
hehe I feel a little guilty but I thought the break in character would be pretty funny! Thanks for the support!
Congrats on the coming baby! Miami here we come!!
WOWOWOWOWOWWOWOWO Thank you very very very much from the bottom of my heart! when im living rich in Miami you can spend the weekend on my yacht
@@TechplantChannel yacht gotta be kidding!! Yes please
I loved late night ramblings of a mad man! Ha ha Normalize talking to your plants!
Experiment: cutting notches into small trees for new growth. Like ficus elastica and lyrata.
I want to see Vivariums, specifically an aesthetically pleasing display tank for your isopods.
And I would love to buy alocasia corms from you.😍
ill bring some late night ramblings back lmao! I have some ideas for the iso pods
I love anthuriums. Breeding them is my primary interest now my plants are flowering!
techplant for me in 2020-2021-2022-2023

LMAOOO, I just started lifting again so we shall see how it goes
@@TechplantChannel Cant wait to subscript on your olf
I just found you mid last year, love the work thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
You mentioned getting into hydroponics. I have been getting more into semi-hydroponics and would like to see ideas you have with that. Maybe some 3D printed self watering pots. Also, I love terrariums.
I only found your channel around the end of 2022, so I’m SO GLAD you’re not quitting too because it’s one of my favorites!!
1. If you sell your printed moss poles, I would absolutely buy some. They’re the coolest ones I’ve seen anywhere and I don’t have a printer myself.
2. I’m super interested in terrariums and aquariums, even though I don’t have any myself. I watch a couple of channels that do videos like “100 days from this to this” where they go from an empty jar to a desert ecosystem or a rainforest ecosystem, etc. They’re very fun to watch and it’s another long-term experiment type of video that those other channels seem to enjoy making.
3. Dude, get your money and include any sponsors you like!! I will not be judging because I have to make money myself too!
4. I LOVE the long-term experiments but I also understand they take more time and effort than other types of content. I’ll be here for whatever you do.
5. If you sell TC plants I would definitely buy some. Especially if they’re not crazy expensive.
Okay, I too fell for it during the introduction! Keep it the good work and looking forward to what 2024 will bring to the channel!
lol Thanks! Ill do my best!
A geodesic dome in the back yard as a greenhouse/conservatory!
that would be pretty sick!
I am all about all of this and support this direction you're going 100% I've got single plants down but am definitely more eager to hear your coverage on a variety of terrariums. I started a semi-aquatic one yesterday and it's so much fun! I'm also leaning towards 3D printing as I'm finding need for items I don't see available for sale yet, so I'd live to follow those videos too. I found this channel recently and have been binging and taking lots of notes and points to ask about. Thanks!
the terrariums you showed in the video look super cool. your drive is really inspiring, keep it up!!
I got like 2 more i just created so look forward to them!!
More videos on Terrariums would be pretty cool. It's something I'm looking to get into and it's a nice way to great some life in a limited space.
I don't have a 3D printer, by the way, but I have friends that do.
Nice, I think i will make files for sale for sure!
Yes, terrariums, pleeeease!
❤❤❤
We love terrariums! Perfect for busy people with kids! 😉😅
yeap, the only plants I have up in my main house are terrariums because my kid cant pluck the plants lol
I love what you do already! Just keep it plants! 💚🪴
There will still be more plant content than aquarium and terrarium stuff!
@@TechplantChannel yeah I'm down for all three! But I personally love your channel just how it is! Id just say I want more of it!
The YESOUL spin bike has totally leveled up my workout game! Loving how I can mirror various cycling classes to keep things interesting and myself motivated. Super fun way to stay fit!
Christmas didn’t come early, but April fools did! I absolutely love this channel and it has inspired me to absolutely GROW my plant collection. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for so much inspiration and giving me the motivation to keep growing plants
One experiment that I would like to see personally is testing the optimal/minimum amount of time it takes to root a plant cutting in water and then transfer it to semi hydro (Leca, Pon, etc) I'm really impatient so I transfer my plants to Pon too quickly and some of them can handle it and others don't so it would be neat to get some data for that. Similarly, transferring a plant from soil to water to semi-hydro would also be a good experiment idea. I find that most of the soil roots die off when I do this so I wonder if it make sense to cut them off from the beginning and grow new roots or try to transfer the old roots, and finding a sweet spot in terms of timing for the best results. I'm personally really interested in semi-hydro I think its the biggest innovation in plant growing so anything relating to that is something I'd love to see. I hope 2024 is a good year!
these are great ideas!
Open a store front shop! It would be cool.
its my big goal to have it done by spring!
Aquariums and terrariums are sick, I've been watching some other creators videos on them and I think it'd be great to watch what you can do with that stuff as well!
Glad to hear!!
Thanks!
Holy cats! Thank you so much for the support! This is very kind of you!!!!! I'll try my best to keep making good content!
super glad you're sticking around!
for sure! Thanks for watching!
I'm so excited for 24! But crap, I see aquariums and terrariums in my future😂. We Love you and your channel, so keep up the good work and don't be so hard on yourself. Your videos got me and alot of others to dive into the plant world and enjoy learning from you and your experiments or as you say expeeermints. 😉
time to make some room lol
If you ever do find yourself at the point of selling plants, I'm looking. Great channel and great work!
I think its a real possibility this year!
Your videos are literally the ones that I look forward to, especially those experimental ones. Keep it up!
happy to hear that!
How about aquatic plants for fish tanks. What plants are good for removing nitrates
Plant and aquarium content in one channel? Yes!!!!!!
HECK YEAH!
Yes! Please do terrarium starter kits and aquascaping and terrarium building videos!!
i hear you, i feel energized from your thoughts and direction, generally going forward its great to hear someone use their wins to gain more momentum,... can you show us what it takes to make my monstera fruit or somehow make the plants work for me somehow maybe ask your intentions n pulll it from your cloud and bring it forward to us... u know
you know that is a fantastic goal! I was wondering where to go with monsteras and FRUIT is a fantastic goal thank youfor this
I have an experiment idea: I believe plants can recover from minor root rot themselves. But everything online says I have to deal with it asap or my whole plant will die. I feel like my plants that have very minor rot do better when I just let them be and fix whatever I did to cause it in the first place. It actually does more damage to completely uproot, mess with the roots, repot, etc, but I could definitely be wrong
i agree with what you are saying, ive had plants that are mid rot on some roots and i change my care and they recover as well as when ive repotted ive found old rotted roots that have dried up and new roots comming out right above where it stopped
Your experiments are always so interesting, so more of those. But honestly I enjoy all of your videos. 3D printing would be interesting, especially with your knowledge of plants. And terrariums I'd love to see how you do terrariums 😀
Hahaha you got me good in the beginning! Please don’t ever leave!!
hehehe
I have a bunch of plants that are getting too big as well. I would love to see how you eventually deal with yours.
Im considering taking down the shelves and building a giant wooden frame box thing and making a kind of open terrarium
Aquariums and specially aquatic plant content would be awesome. I got into aquascaping exacly like you mention, my love of plants was to much not to grow some underwater gardens
You are a wealth of information; thank you! Love the experiments (would love not see some with lighting; I am playing with all kinds of different coleus and their coloring) , general plant info, all of the different kinds of plants, great close ups and SO much more! A few thoughts/comments: Don't move the camera so fast, if yo can use a 3-D printer with wood, go for it, we have WAY too much plastic, could you sell your largest plants (for a pretty penny) to local businesses? And YES to the terrariums and tanks!
The videos I like more from you are the ones that follow an experiment during a long time, not small update videos. 🙌
Good to hear! I have a few going right now that cover a few months!
@@TechplantChannel Nice, I wait patiently for your videos, and have a big smile when I see there's one. Keep the good work.
Would love an experiment on propagation of sundews, like leaf cuttings on water or moss and whole leaf or chopped leaf pieces.
I did a bunch in the past but i dont think i really filmed it, I will start soem again!
@@TechplantChannel awesome thanks! I’ll give you a culture of hydei fruit flies to feed your sundews if you’d like too. Another experiment could be showing 2 sundews that are the same size and feeding one but not the other over like anywhere from 2-6 months would be so cool to see. Same with pitcher plants cause I only have one nepenthes right now but I bought mealworms from a reptile store and just loaded it up to see how much it would increase growth vs just my natural fungus gnat population lol
Looking forward to your content in 2024!!!! Your passion and enthusiasm for the plant world is contagious biased on all of the heartfelt comments!😊 Keep up the good work!!! How about creating Techplant terrarium kits for sale?❤
I’d love to buy plants from you too btw. Love the idea for the giant terrarium, I’ve always wanted to do something like that!
yeah i hope it turns out, ive been pondering it for a very long time!
Sounds like it's time to do a ton of cuttings, propagate in water to root and sell them to further fund your ideas that you want to do. Not to mention it'll help create new spaces once you start selling. And it sounds like there's a lot of people who would be interested in buying. Just a thought.
I love everything that has to do with aquariums, palidariums and terrariums. It's just a beautiful creative way to create living art and to see your plants and critters growing and thriving in their own little worlds.
Hey as far as experiments, I’m trying to work on some designs for a rotating trellis to test out. I was wondering if there was a way to discuss it. Basically the plan is to let the plant climb itself and rotate it so its growth point is always growing upwards. That would compact the size and allow even grow light exposure since it lessens the difficulties of even lighting vertically.
Also as someone who struggles with pests, do terrarium content. I have started putting the plants I would have given up on in my frog tank and the environment nursed a few back to health. Give me more ways to save plants please. Isolated growth in a terrarium kept my jewel orchid alive when everything got pests. I lost most of my favorite plants but I want to start making terrariums for some of my collection to prevent the great pest rampage of 2023 from ever happening again.
Sooo glad you’re soldering on!
heck yeah!!!
Videos - Your experiments are great, you can probably make more than 1 video from the footage (release experiment update videos) to maximize the footage since I understand people appreciate the long period experiments but this leads to slower video releases. I think people would appreciate even just more plant/grow tip vids. Or plant spotlight videos. Species Collection videos. How to pollinate. Tissue culture. Etc.
Plant store too - plants for sure, moss pole, trellis, etc. i think sell the actual products would be good, most ppl likely don’t have 3D printer, including me. But there are some people w 3D printers so you can also sell the designs for cheaper than the actual product price, if you would like.
I personally am not in terrarium/aquarium at this time but would be open to the content and I do know a lot of people in this community are into either one or the other as well.
You are great and we wish you all the best in the years and ventures ahead
I appreciate all the advice, this kind of feedback is very valuable to me! Thanks a ton!!!
Awwwwwgh!!! 😊
SMILES ALL AROUND MAAAN!
Here’s to you! 🥂
Thank you so much for the support!
Fishkeeping got me into plants. the combination of both is amazing. starting with planted tank then dive deep into paludariums and ripariums.
Nice! I love that you are doubling down because I absolutely love your videos and am always looking for new ones to drop. I’ve only been watching your channel for about a year now but I always come back and watch your older videos because I can’t wait for more. ok here’s an idea possibly for an experiment or a question, or just maybe you can make up an experiment out of it. 20 years ago I got the idea of rooting out spider plants in food coloring water, I thought it would be cool to see different colored leaves, concept came from broccoli experiment in food coloring as a kid, anyways they didn’t take up the color of the water into their leaves, so it’s like the roots filtered it out or something. Anyways maybe you can make something up out of that. Glad you’re not stopping posting, me and my family love watching your channel.
Great idea! ❤
sounds fun! could be a cool way to spice up the plant!
Thanks for what you do. Congrats on new baby. Happy 2024.
When I clicked on the video I was hoping that the thing that was going to be different was that your content was going to be getting even more bonkers, I'm glad to see you had the same thing in mind.
If you have a setup for time lapse photography, that could be a fun addition to the experiments. I have a few things I'd like to try myself but first I have to make some space to set such things up.
lol I have two dedicated old DSLRs and the timelapse dongle but similar to what youve said its more like setting up the tripod and stuff without knocking it all round is hard to pull off. BUT WE ARE GOING HAM IN 2024 SO NOW I WANNA
@@TechplantChannelI have a box in my closet with some lights and a few cameras... which works fine most of the time, but if I touch anything slightly when watering the whole thing gets bumped which is kind of a pain.
I use a 3D printer to make custom perfectly fitting semi hydro inserts for my nice ceramic pots so I'm hyped for 3D printing content. I keep watching your channel for the more nerdy things, learning about about the biology of plants and so on. Love watching your experiments.
overall general ideas regarding experiments being terrarium experiments and how to deal with those more humid pests and moulds with the lack of ventilation in closed terrariums?? ive been struggling with terrarium building and i live in a relatively arid climate.
small diy greenhousing racks on relative budgets and limited tools as well? an enclosed space that could look like. at least nice or slick for presentation but uses relatively cheap materials!
and talking tech regarding lighting fixtures & bulbs?
fantastic suggestions
Terrariums are where I want to go this year. ❤ to see decent sizes and the substrate vs false bottoms. Best and safest charcoal to use. Many questions. Looks like my basement 😂. Need ways to display them especially in terrariums. Thanks
I absolutely love your channel. I’m here for the long haul. I would love to see alternative ways to propagate some plants. For instance have you ever propagated snake plants in perlite or moss. I love anything you post cause I usually learn something new. Good luck with the new baby.
I found your channel fairly recently. I love it!!!
Happy to hear!
You got this Plant fam!
Love the energy & excitement about the future 🙌
😂 Love this intro. Congrats on baby 🎉😊 Maybe create more cool automate devices to water. how about self-growing plants with water hose
damn I keep forgetting this lmao, I will try and do this with the hydroponics
Hey Matt!
LOVE the idea of the tent terrarium, but more basic small types don't interest me too much as I've seen looooooads on Serpa's channel, and I'm kinda over it. haha.
I'd buy plants from your shop but I live in the UK so don't think that's really possible unfortunately.
Very excited for more experiements, they're my favourite content you put out. Really unique and fascinating.
The aquarium content will be quite interesting. I've watched a lot of aqua scapers but watching your take on the set up and maintenance would be really interesting.
Congratulations on Baby #2!
Excited to see what you do with 2024. I'll be here to watch every video regardless of what it is!
i love your channel. I don't have a 3d Printer. The most helpful videos are your experiments and how to stake the monsteras to boards. Some ideas for the channel: I have no idea on how to grow my huge pothos plants vertically up and that would be helpful. Experiments with liquid fertilizers would be helpful. Also how to read the water quality report from your water company. Should I add stresscoat+ to my tap water for plants?
Also It would be cool to do aquarium / terrarium experiments too
For sure! as the numbers build up ill have a control vs the change!
I would love to see terrarium content! I just made my first mini terrarium a month or two ago and I love it. I would love to learn more.
On 3D printers I just got rid of mine, but I can still access it and I am very interested in 3D printed moss poles.
Thirdly, I’m very curious about terrariums, both as a fish habitat, and for growing plants under water.
Your content is excellent, and I’m happy that you are expanding in to new areas.
Congrats on your baby!
I'd like to buy your plants! 😊 I just found your channel today wjile looking how to plant lemon seeds the best way.
Do you plan on revisiting your spagnum moss experiment? I remember you saying something about putting a kiddie pool outside and seeing if it would be possible to grow moss. I would even buy a kit for that if you ever sold one. Super excited for the new projects this year!
I might just do it in the basement in a large tote lol, but then this summer I will, adding to the list now to stay organized
You had me at the beginning! You are one of my fav channels!
honored to hear that! I hope I can keep it up this 2024
I really love watching you grow so big. I remember when i first met you , you had around like 20k subs now u have 200k. Congrats!! hope 2024 will be great for you
oh my god if you make those glass cases and sell them I WOULD BUY im really into orchids and need stuff like that
I think I would need to look into more expensive glass to survive shipping. Im using picture glass which holds just fine but it is fragile
Im from Romania🇹🇩 and im a plant lover and i like your chanel! ☺️
I appreciate the support!
Yeees, I love the experiments! I am mostly interessted in aroids, as I thing most plant people in generell mostly have them, but I am sure the terrarium and aquarium content will be fun to watch as well. For Ideas: maybe comparing the groth on mosspole vs plank vs bamboo stake
I'm so glad ur not giving up on TechPlant!
I think selling ur merch would b fab!
I would love 2 b able 2 make my own well built terrariums as cheaply as possible & use found items where possible. Maybe showing us how 2 clean & use driftwood, stones, moss (real moss not decorative fake moss)?
I do not have a 3-D printer but I kniw those who do & I mifht b interested in buying 1 if I could weigh the benefits against the investment costs & upkeep vs buying product from other sources?
I have been asking everyone if plants can b sustained indefinitely in perlite & what would b the best way 2 do it? Which, if any fertilizers can/must I use? Would moss poles work in that setup the same as they work in Leca or Pon? But I have really not gotten any real answers 2 these questions. Can u help me with any of this!
Idk, does any of this help?
🤎 ur channel❣
fantastic suggestions. Im working on DIY terrerium kits as we speak and cooking up ways to make assembly very easy but with a fantastic finished product
Terrarium content would be huge for your channel in my opinion, they are super fun to make and can definitely make an easy video out of. And also if you wanted any poison dart frogs for your terrariums I have a surplus! I’d be happy to give you some and can give you some fruit flies as well. Also for aquarium content if you ever do saltwater I can hook you up, just come to best fish by the fiserv forums on the weekends and I’ll be there. We also have tons of freshwater fish and inverts too.
do you have an instagram or something that is easier to communicate on? Id love to trade some stuff for frogs and at the minimum learn more about them
@@TechplantChannel yes I do, don’t mind all my old bs on there from way back in high school I haven’t used it since then besides to look at shit lmao but we actually just recently talked a bit about sundews it’s Taylor__pink . I love these frogs and can tell you pretty much anything you need to know about them, the care is ultra simple tho so don’t be worried and they aren’t actually poisonous in captivity either so you can even touch them. But the species I have to is I kid you not… the most toxic animal with a vertebrae on planet earth in the wild which is kinda cool.
Yes! Aquariums! Aquatic plants and aquarium scaping! 😭🌱🐟
