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💚💚
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!
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.
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.
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!
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! ❤🎉😊
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
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 :)
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?
You are my only reliable source for plant guidance on an internet full of SEO copy/pasting, AI, and misinformation. Your 3 aloe videos started out as my go-to guide for my own plants and to send others, and in current year and now the only guide I have to send people! I love your review on plant gifts, not for gift ideas, but for your reviews, like that all growlights are approximately the same as long as you have the right temperature and brightness! I don't think you'll ever out beat the content farms telling people to like plant roses inside rotting potatoes, nor out shine the fucking flood of low quality self-taught house gardeners who have imo terrible advice and poor understanding of soil media, but it's the reason I make sure I watch all of your videos and search your channel for advice whenever anyone I know has a plant question. 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
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.
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!
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.
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
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 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.
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.
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!
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
It sounds like you’re going to try and become more like Tanner from Serpadesign but coming at it from the opposite direction. He makes tanks and terrariums with plants to support and show off his animals and you want tanks and terrariums with animals to show off your plants. I would definitely be interested in any of this content. Propping and selling would help keep plants small and I would buy! As a potential experiment, I would like to see someone grow several tradescantia under different conditions/soils/pots/fertilizers and see what is the best way to keep one indoors looking good. In nature they are sprawling mat forming understory plants that put down roots along stems to form clumps. Indoors this means they get leggy with bare stems and dead leaves you have to constantly chop and prop to keep nice looking. What can you do to keep them nice?
Firstly, congratulations on the second tiny human on the way soon! Secondly, i am so here for Terrarium/ Aquarium content. I just started watching a UA-cam channel called Ants Canada and i'm obsessed with the terrariums on there. I would love to see some experiments with Alocasia, growing in different Mediums or other things as i have 9 different Alocasia and am finding them quite different from each other in terms of their care. If a shop is on the horizon, selling 3D printed parts and the files would be good to accommodate everyone. I don't personally have a 3D printer but i know that people who do would probably prefer to purchase files. Anyway, can't wait to follow the 2024 journey for the channel but remember to take breaks when you need them 😊
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.
Product idea: You've grown a bunch of large aroids like that immense Jade pothos. Many of us want a really well designed modular planking system that we can extend to say 8 ft. Giving your experience, could you design such a thing? I'm sure there would be buyers. Experiment idea: I'd love to see a comparison of wicking systems with semihydro versus submerged systems. I'm specifically thinking of Pon and Leca. Do plants prefer a system that has wicks or do they prefer something where the inner pot is submerged inside an outer pot? Sounds like a fun experiment. Also, if you're going to sell, I'm sure many of us would buy from you!
ive been working on a modular wooden plank system that is simple and very cheap! Im working on the tooling so i can make VERY consistent pieces so if you buy more a year from now they are still compatible
@@TechplantChannel such a product is long overdue in the market. There are some great folks like Treleaf who are producing some interesting products but modular planking systems are in their infancy right now. With the huge interest in aroids, this is something the plant community really needs because all of these babies like to climb! I look forward to seeing what you've been working on.
How about comparing "normal" LED Bulbs to Grow Lights? I noticed you have lots of high end grow light in your plant room and since they come pretty pricey I was searching for an alternative. I found many information about using LEDs with daylight quality (6500 Kelvin) for growing indoors in winter. I went to my local hardware store and bought a 1500mm long, 24 Watts, 2200 Lumens, 6500 Kelvin LED strip light for 14,99 € and it served me really well! My propagations are doing great and my philodendron Florida Ghost is giving me light yellow leaves one after another! ❤ So are grow lights just a really succesfull marketing sceme..? 🤔
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.
One experiment I have been thinking about is a living spaghnum moss moss pole. A scientist told me the living spaghnum would kill the plant, but a moss pole that gros by itself how great and sustainable would that be? I did put living spaghnum on top of the dead one in my moss pole and put saran wrap on it, but I'm not really tracking it. What about a 3d printed funnel that fits into the moss pole, for easy watering.... I'm also struggling finding trails for my little trailing plants. Those are easy to 3d print.... Also water level measurers are small and easy to 3d print. I struggle finding ones that are long enough for my tall pots with leca. If you are into bigger terrariums you can make a backwall with the 3d printer and clips that click onto it for plants, etc. Just brainstorming. :)
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.
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!
No 3D printer here but I can buy polls and plants. I do terrarium but really small ones but I'm looking epiphytic cactus ; an any kinda unusual plants really also looking for ways to display my plants that need polls or vining plants in cool ways an I'm not a take one vine an train it around the top of the ceiling
I have wondered which of the plants you own can live just in water culture. I know there are common plants like the pothos that can live in water but which other plants out there can. Don't sacrifice your rare plants. I don't really know how to address it but you do what you can. It's more fun when a hobby is not a chore and the pressure gets to you which becomes work instead. "Back in my day" channels used to appear unscheduled, like a friend visiting unannounced but still a welcome surprise, hopefully they brought snacks.
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.😍
can't believe someone like you doesn't have a vivarium or aquarium within your collection^^ if you wanna dip your toes into it, I can recommend here on yt Troy Goldberg for vivarium and Father Fish for aquarium. you might love it^^
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!
Man !! I will support you as well but sadly I can’t buy anything from you because I am from Kuwait but tbh I like your channel and I wish that I can stole some plants from you 😂
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!
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.
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
You should sell your used t shirts 💀 jokes aside I will watch anything you post man fr, you make anything interesting. Also I don’t mind if you still something random every now and then. Hope 2024 is awesome for you, best of luck with school and with your family!
3D printed products and plants sound great :) I'd also love to support you on Patreon! I feel like that would be a good stable source of income for you and maybe we could see some "behind the scenes" content once in a while, or whatever you'd like to post really
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 would love cheaper varigated plants. I have been wanting a monstera tai con for such a long time, but it is too expensive for me. If you would sell a cheap monstera tai con, I would buy it right away.
I will try, however there are some showing up for 19.99 in gorceries this week so in the next few months you may see them at this price. If I can get tissue culture ones for very cheap I will try but It might be hard for me to compete with big box stores if im not wholesaling TC ones
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!
Message me on instagram if you have it. It's hard to have a convo in youtube threads. I'm wondering what your water parameters are and maybe we can look into other things. You are not alone in this issue and I wMma see what's causing this with others as well
A few things that can explain view count going down: - The plant craze of 2020: maybe people moved on to other things. - UA-cam Shorts is destroying smaller channels like yours. - The algorithm? - People want less sponsors and advertisement (there is so much of it already) - Video schedule/frequency
I think a big part of low views is my fault, but also I like to do some more niche things that arent as "searchable" and my story telling abilities just arent that good to captivate people who dont care that much about plants! Im ok with it and i will work hard to improve. I do think you are accurate with what you are saying as well. There is a lot going on but I just love the interactions with people liek you so as long as im not going into the negative with like my electric bill and time Ill keep doing 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
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
Fun channel😎. Digging all plants.. If you start with paludarium it will also be extra fun👌. But when you brought out the bike, I exited your channel and found something else to watch. Advertising like that ruins your channel, I think 😫.
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
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 😀
Gets into aquariums, and suddenly needs funds. Definitely not a coincidence. But hit up your local fish and aquatic plant club auctions. Chicago has a great Aquascaping community
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. 😉
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!
discord for a community might be cool. definitely be interesting to see more terrariums and aquariums; just experiment. don't mind the sponsors we can always skip them ;)
I’m realizing I’ve never seen any of your recent videos in my subscriptions. I honestly thought you stopped posting this whole time. I’m not sure if they weren’t getting pushed to my feed or if I missed them because the thumbnail didn’t catch my eye I’m not sure??
Used to know you on fb, been cool to see you grow this channel over the years. Wishing you all the best and lmk if you need any shopify advice I’ve run various stores for a few years now.
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?
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!
I can give it a shot, The way my house is is very odd and the windows are very high up and small but I think I can figure something out! It makes me want to design something that is fixed to the window! Great Idea!
THESE ARE THE IDEAS I NEEEEED AND CRAVE THANK YOU, this is why i love this damn channel so much, COUNTLESS TIMES people just like you chime in with things that broaden my perspective!!! Thank you!
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💚💚
Me too! I will be a good enthusiastic consumer - plants, moss poles and more. Of course, continue to watch your videos!
You’re the real MVP 😭
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!
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.
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.
I'd love to see updates on your plants on planks. Also those tiny terrariums are cute.
i will have some videos dedicated to it in the near future!
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!
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! ❤🎉😊

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!
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?
You are my only reliable source for plant guidance on an internet full of SEO copy/pasting, AI, and misinformation.
Your 3 aloe videos started out as my go-to guide for my own plants and to send others, and in current year and now the only guide I have to send people!
I love your review on plant gifts, not for gift ideas, but for your reviews, like that all growlights are approximately the same as long as you have the right temperature and brightness!
I don't think you'll ever out beat the content farms telling people to like plant roses inside rotting potatoes, nor out shine the fucking flood of low quality self-taught house gardeners who have imo terrible advice and poor understanding of soil media, but it's the reason I make sure I watch all of your videos and search your channel for advice whenever anyone I know has a plant question.
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
Like the expansion into terrariums and aquarium and the tech shop sounds like a great idea.
glad to hear!
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.
Oh, yes! This would be super helpful!
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!
Thank you for the amazing support! I will try and do my best this year!
A geodesic dome in the back yard as a greenhouse/conservatory!
that would be pretty sick!
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!
im trying to build a backlog so for the first two weeks i can survive lmao. Appreciate the support!
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.
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
This is very helpful!
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!
Yes! Please do terrarium starter kits and aquascaping and terrarium building videos!!
Looking forward to the terrarium and aquascape content!
glad to hear!
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.
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.
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!
Simple, starter terrarium ideas would be great, such as a terrarium made from a used pickle jar, or 2L plastic soda bottle.
Good thing ive been saving, pickle, sauce, and kimchi jars lol!
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!
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
It sounds like you’re going to try and become more like Tanner from Serpadesign but coming at it from the opposite direction. He makes tanks and terrariums with plants to support and show off his animals and you want tanks and terrariums with animals to show off your plants. I would definitely be interested in any of this content. Propping and selling would help keep plants small and I would buy! As a potential experiment, I would like to see someone grow several tradescantia under different conditions/soils/pots/fertilizers and see what is the best way to keep one indoors looking good. In nature they are sprawling mat forming understory plants that put down roots along stems to form clumps. Indoors this means they get leggy with bare stems and dead leaves you have to constantly chop and prop to keep nice looking. What can you do to keep them nice?
I will pick some up!
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
Firstly, congratulations on the second tiny human on the way soon!
Secondly, i am so here for Terrarium/ Aquarium content. I just started watching a UA-cam channel called Ants Canada and i'm obsessed with the terrariums on there.
I would love to see some experiments with Alocasia, growing in different Mediums or other things as i have 9 different Alocasia and am finding them quite different from each other in terms of their care.
If a shop is on the horizon, selling 3D printed parts and the files would be good to accommodate everyone. I don't personally have a 3D printer but i know that people who do would probably prefer to purchase files.
Anyway, can't wait to follow the 2024 journey for the channel but remember to take breaks when you need them 😊
Yes! Aquariums! Aquatic plants and aquarium scaping! 😭🌱🐟
Kepp it up! Great! Awesome channel ❤ good luck my friend!!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so 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!
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.
Product idea: You've grown a bunch of large aroids like that immense Jade pothos. Many of us want a really well designed modular planking system that we can extend to say 8 ft. Giving your experience, could you design such a thing? I'm sure there would be buyers.
Experiment idea: I'd love to see a comparison of wicking systems with semihydro versus submerged systems. I'm specifically thinking of Pon and Leca. Do plants prefer a system that has wicks or do they prefer something where the inner pot is submerged inside an outer pot? Sounds like a fun experiment.
Also, if you're going to sell, I'm sure many of us would buy from you!
Two unbelievably stellar ideas! Thank you! I concur.
ive been working on a modular wooden plank system that is simple and very cheap! Im working on the tooling so i can make VERY consistent pieces so if you buy more a year from now they are still compatible
@@TechplantChannel such a product is long overdue in the market. There are some great folks like Treleaf who are producing some interesting products but modular planking systems are in their infancy right now. With the huge interest in aroids, this is something the plant community really needs because all of these babies like to climb! I look forward to seeing what you've been working on.
How about comparing "normal" LED Bulbs to Grow Lights?
I noticed you have lots of high end grow light in your plant room and since they come pretty pricey I was searching for an alternative. I found many information about using LEDs with daylight quality (6500 Kelvin) for growing indoors in winter.
I went to my local hardware store and bought a 1500mm long, 24 Watts, 2200 Lumens, 6500 Kelvin LED strip light for 14,99 € and it served me really well! My propagations are doing great and my philodendron Florida Ghost is giving me light yellow leaves one after another! ❤
So are grow lights just a really succesfull marketing sceme..? 🤔
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!
we are stuck in winter so it give me time to plan for a big spring import!
@@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.
One experiment I have been thinking about is a living spaghnum moss moss pole. A scientist told me the living spaghnum would kill the plant, but a moss pole that gros by itself how great and sustainable would that be? I did put living spaghnum on top of the dead one in my moss pole and put saran wrap on it, but I'm not really tracking it. What about a 3d printed funnel that fits into the moss pole, for easy watering.... I'm also struggling finding trails for my little trailing plants. Those are easy to 3d print.... Also water level measurers are small and easy to 3d print. I struggle finding ones that are long enough for my tall pots with leca. If you are into bigger terrariums you can make a backwall with the 3d printer and clips that click onto it for plants, etc. Just brainstorming. :)
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!
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!
No 3D printer here but I can buy polls and plants. I do terrarium but really small ones but I'm looking epiphytic cactus ; an any kinda unusual plants really also looking for ways to display my plants that need polls or vining plants in cool ways an I'm not a take one vine an train it around the top of the ceiling
I have wondered which of the plants you own can live just in water culture. I know there are common plants like the pothos that can live in water but which other plants out there can. Don't sacrifice your rare plants.
I don't really know how to address it but you do what you can. It's more fun when a hobby is not a chore and the pressure gets to you which becomes work instead.
"Back in my day" channels used to appear unscheduled, like a friend visiting unannounced but still a welcome surprise, hopefully they brought snacks.
There are quite a few! I have glass containers for them already too!
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 have 2 Kids and this is not a problem ❤🎉 All the best ❤
yeah so far im surviving good with the first one, Im just dreading that first 2-3 weeks where you get very little sleep!
techplant for me in 2020-2021-2022-2023
Plants Education ❌
Eye-Candy ✅
LMAOOO, I just started lifting again so we shall see how it goes
@@TechplantChannel Cant wait to subscript on your olf
Omggg i got scareeee im likeeeee noooo dont live ypur channel is fun i love u channel and learn alots from u ❤❤❤
I wont leave! Thanks for all the support!
DO IT! DO IT! DO IT ALL!!!! CANT WAIT!!!!!
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 was worried for a second 😂
Me too 😂
Same here 😭
hehehe sorry guys!
can't believe someone like you doesn't have a vivarium or aquarium within your collection^^ if you wanna dip your toes into it, I can recommend here on yt Troy Goldberg for vivarium and Father Fish for aquarium. you might love it^^
ive heard of father fish, before the earth froze i dug up a ton of soil from my yard to do that style tank!!!
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!!
Man !! I will support you as well but sadly I can’t buy anything from you because I am from Kuwait but tbh I like your channel and I wish that I can stole some plants from you 😂
Just by you being here you are supporting me! Thank you
DONT SCARE ME 😂 Do merch/sale stuff - we will support
I gotta find a way to do merch where its not so expensive then I totally will!
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!
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
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!
Thanks! That support is awesome! Thank you
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!
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
You should sell your used t shirts 💀 jokes aside I will watch anything you post man fr, you make anything interesting. Also I don’t mind if you still something random every now and then. Hope 2024 is awesome for you, best of luck with school and with your family!
3D printed products and plants sound great :) I'd also love to support you on Patreon! I feel like that would be a good stable source of income for you and maybe we could see some "behind the scenes" content once in a while, or whatever you'd like to post really
I just found you mid last year, love the work thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
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!
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 would love cheaper varigated plants. I have been wanting a monstera tai con for such a long time, but it is too expensive for me. If you would sell a cheap monstera tai con, I would buy it right away.
I will try, however there are some showing up for 19.99 in gorceries this week so in the next few months you may see them at this price. If I can get tissue culture ones for very cheap I will try but It might be hard for me to compete with big box stores if im not wholesaling TC ones
Which store are they at? It’s fine if you don’t sell them, but I would still love to buy other plants if you would sell them!
How about a short update on the lemon trees you grew a few years back? Are they doing okay?
I'd buy some of these mealybugs you talk so much about
im running a special, buy 1 get 10 free
Open a store front shop! It would be cool.
its my big goal to have it done by spring!
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!
Awwwwwgh!!! 😊
SMILES ALL AROUND MAAAN!
Here’s to you! 🥂
Thank you so much for the support!
anything w monstera bc no matter what medium, if calloused or not, with or without wax/glue, they ALWAYS ROT ON ME. Leaf or node cuttings :,(
Message me on instagram if you have it. It's hard to have a convo in youtube threads. I'm wondering what your water parameters are and maybe we can look into other things. You are not alone in this issue and I wMma see what's causing this with others as well
A few things that can explain view count going down:
- The plant craze of 2020: maybe people moved on to other things.
- UA-cam Shorts is destroying smaller channels like yours.
- The algorithm?
- People want less sponsors and advertisement (there is so much of it already)
- Video schedule/frequency
I think a big part of low views is my fault, but also I like to do some more niche things that arent as "searchable" and my story telling abilities just arent that good to captivate people who dont care that much about plants! Im ok with it and i will work hard to improve. I do think you are accurate with what you are saying as well. There is a lot going on but I just love the interactions with people liek you so as long as im not going into the negative with like my electric bill and time Ill keep doing 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
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'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
Fun channel😎. Digging all plants.. If you start with paludarium it will also be extra fun👌. But when you brought out the bike, I exited your channel and found something else to watch. Advertising like that ruins your channel, I think 😫.
yeah that is a rare occurrence! Its the first and probably the last unless its really relevant and worthwhile for the typical plant lover
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!!!
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 😀
Gets into aquariums, and suddenly needs funds. Definitely not a coincidence. But hit up your local fish and aquatic plant club auctions. Chicago has a great Aquascaping community
Who do i blame for this??? SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE
😂 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
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
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
Your videos are literally the ones that I look forward to, especially those experimental ones. Keep it up!
happy to hear that!
discord for a community might be cool. definitely be interesting to see more terrariums and aquariums; just experiment. don't mind the sponsors we can always skip them ;)
ive been considering this im just scared someone will come in and start yelling racist stuff or something while im away at work!
My local library offers free 3D printing services. Not sure how common that is.
its getting more and more common, same with maker spaces
U troll! Good, u better continue!
hehehe Thanks for the support!
I’m realizing I’ve never seen any of your recent videos in my subscriptions. I honestly thought you stopped posting this whole time. I’m not sure if they weren’t getting pushed to my feed or if I missed them because the thumbnail didn’t catch my eye I’m not sure??
i suck at thumbnails so most likely lol
bruv you're such a troll. I'll stick around till the end looking forward to your upcoming content.
Lol thank you I really appreciate it!
Used to know you on fb, been cool to see you grow this channel over the years. Wishing you all the best and lmk if you need any shopify advice I’ve run various stores for a few years now.
I would love it if you had some tips and tricks! please feel free to reach out!
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’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!
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
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!
Could you go low tech? No fancy lights, just you everyday window light.
I can give it a shot, The way my house is is very odd and the windows are very high up and small but I think I can figure something out! It makes me want to design something that is fixed to the window! Great Idea!
Maybe do a grafting one again, but use closer related plants!
Like an Adansonii with a Deliciosa
YES!
I love anthuriums. Breeding them is my primary interest now my plants are flowering!
To be honest likely not gonna be interested in moss poles. 3D print aesthetic light grow light bulb holder against a wall would be great.
