My 4 year old son came over as I am watching you and he asked “mommy, what’s her name?” And I said “Claire” and he asked “what’s she doing?” And I said “well, she likes plants like mommy and is showing me her plants” and he asked me “does she like stuffies?” 😂😂😂
Love your frankness and honesty 😍 and also appreciate you being open about your pests and plants that are struggling. Makes me feel like I'm not alone 💚 Hope you have fun on your vacation and I hope it's sunny and filled with relaxation 💃🎉🌞🌿
I know what a hell it is to find pests right before a holiday... Last summer I found thrips the day before we went on holiday for 2 weeks. Mayhem! Had to spray all my plants in one afternoon 😅
regarding the yellow leaves on the aglaonema: my aglaonema (like a lot of other "bushy" plants) tends to loose older leaves with the starting of the growing season to put its power into the new growth. So no need to worry for now :)
Love the Ernestii, I recently got a 2 leaf top cutting I put it in water. One leaf died off but it's finally started rooting I'm so excited I hope it looks like yours one day!
I learn so much from this kind of videos, just from seeing your thought process and how you deal with things! I can only keep ferns alive in self-watering pots, but once they're in there, at least they become low maintenance. Your Begonia very likely needs more light, my cane Begonias even love some direct morning sun, and I live in Spain where it's much stronger! With enough light, they become super fast growing and rewarding plants.
For a Rosemary bush that’s grown from a prop. You want to callus the end of your desired length or size of your cutting, put in a glass jar and give it frequent water changes and indirect light because they love it! It takes a lot of patience, I grew my own bush four years ago and it is just lovely. Patience will be worth it, good luck with your rosemary bush
The bit you broke off the silver sword was the petiole of the broken leaf. Mine had 3 or 4 in a row that broke and it just had a bunch of those sticking out 😅
My most memorable childhood chore was swabbing mealy bugs off my mother’s house plants with Q-tips dipped in hydrogen peroxide. I literally think I was 3 the first time I was given this task. Strangely, as an adult plant owner I’ve almost never had them. A few times on my ginormous ficus Benjamin that summers outdoors, but I’ve always been able to just blast them off with my garden hose and let nature take care. Squeeze your thumbs for me.
Love these long task videos, inspiring me to do the same and nice to listen to when doing plant care etc. You are my favourite plant UA-cam person.. and also Rose or Rose from Holl..I think. Upbeat without being cringey, women.
rosemary need green shoots for rooting cuttings. i use iba powder or gel . 4 to 6 nodes. strip the bottom leafs. plant right in well draining soil or meida. water prop neveer worked for my rosemary's . the local pro grow stores near you have the mammoth canncontrol?. its the best for ipm. i had thrip issues. nothing else worked as well as the mammoth. the small bottle only cost 20$us. happy planting clare and everyone
Everyone wants their plants to look like Sydney plant guys but we live in the UK 😅 he literally has the perfect conditions and temperatures to grow his to that sort of size. Ps.. I absolutely love that jumper 💜 where can I get one? 🫶
Well I'm assuming your apartment isn't constantly at over 28°C 😂 paraiso verde's variegation is dependent on the temperature of it's environment... I love this plant, but I can't keep the temperature high enough to keep variegation consistent...
LOVE your planty chats!!! ❤❤❤ You are just wonderful! (FYI, at around the 35:50 mark, and interestingly enough, just about when you say, 'freaked me out' there is a little ghosty looking clear Orb bubble that flys just round your face! 🙀)
Hi Claire! How can you manage who requires fertiliser at the time and who does not need it yet? Or do you give less fertiliser than recommended to all at this time? I love your videos and all your work, dedication and knowledge about plants! :)
I have pretty much thoroughly watched all of her videos and follow her on insta and patreon, so I've heard her speak on this many times. She says she typically puts a very small amount of fertiliser in her water and gives this to her plants with each water. I believe she says she does this for plants only if they are showing signs of growth, even in winter months. If they're dormant, in rehab, being acclimated, or don't have a well established root system then she will not feed them.
@@mason0914 It seems to me the most reasonable way to do it. With dozens of plants and each species having a different periodicity of fertilization, I honestly believe it is the easiest way. Thank you so much :)
The exotica takes a ridiculous amount of time to root and the curling of the leaf doesn't always go away, even if it is happy. Unfortunately it can permanently stay curled.
I've heard you talk about plant swaps that you attend often in your videos. Could you please explain how they work. I've never heard of them in my are, nothing beyond buy and sell on Marketplace. Is this an actual meet up?
Out of curiosity, what's your thoughts on scale? Most of my plants are fine but I found scale on my giant thaumatophyllum Bipinnatifidum and it's just so big I'm not sure how I'm going to approach it yet. I've separated it from my other plants for now but I hear more about thrips and spidermites than scale in the plant community.
Scale is annoying and can be time consuming to eradicate. You have to scrape them off if they’re mature and hardened on and use alcohol soaked q tips to kill the soft bodied babies. They tend to hang out on the leaves and petioles but can live in the soil too so once you get everything handled above the soil line, repot the entire plant in fresh soil. If the plant is heavily infested it may not be worth the effort but you can try!! I’ve eradicated scale from a few small monsteras but never anything too big. Good luck!
It feels weird watching a video of you just pottering about but to a plant lover it's strangely riveting. Your blue star fern looks almost as terrible as mine did before I gave up on it and binned it! I think they like a LOT of light and consistent moisture. Not something I'm capable of providing! I do better with stag horn ferns.
Mine does great with neglect and drying up a lot but it is in really bright light. The temperatures in the room it is in can also get well over 30 centigrade during heat waves. But giving it a bit more water does give more growth.
Thanks for letting me know. Weird, my end it sounds normal, but I’ll lower it for future videos. The next couple are pre-filmed cause I’m currently away, so beware the loudness for them 😂💚
@@TheJungleHaven It’s after when the music starts playing and the Jungle Haven logos pop up to when the Subscribed button appears. Rest of the video is perfect. Hope that helps as I love your channel 😊
I have to say, i was a little bit shocked to see all these mosspoles dried out to death....to buy or get more plants seems not really a good idea. A hobby should be fun and do with passion and love and not become a list to work through, were the only fun is, that you finished the job
Tobe fair, moss dries insanely fast. I have moss in a dish that I'm using to root some string of hearts and it literally dries out completely every 3 days 😅

What are stuffies?
@@princepalmer3329 stuffed animals haha
@@natashaoreilly7072 oh ok. Yep kinda makes sense when he is 4. Cute. Thanks.xxfunny!!
Beautiful collection! Have you considered working with a diary to write notes in eg: water ………. On Wednesday. Repot ……… on Saturday
1:39 just rewatching this video
.... and I can now imagine Ross giggling at this comment 🤭🤣

Seeds, I find, germinate way better in the dark. However, as soon as you see green shoots, you need to put them in bright light or they will be leggy
I really enjoyed this video Claire
I love your approach to plants and your calm attitude:)
I know what a hell it is to find pests right before a holiday... Last summer I found thrips the day before we went on holiday for 2 weeks. Mayhem! Had to spray all my plants in one afternoon 😅
Love seeing other people do plant chores 😆

Love this video…do more like this pls. Have a restful & wonderful vacation!
I do my watering the same way! I do have my bin and grate setup on top of my rolling cart for complete mobility!
Wooooo 🥳 I love when you have these long videos! Especially when I have plant chores to do as well.
Also, when I go away for a week or more I put one end of a piece of yarn in the moss pole, and the other end in a bowl of water
Love the Ernestii, I recently got a 2 leaf top cutting I put it in water. One leaf died off but it's finally started rooting I'm so excited I hope it looks like yours one day!

I saw a nice aglaonema plant while you were busy repotting a plant. I love aglaonema plants so I have to tell you that I noticed it
You take great care of your plants,💚🌱☘️🌵💚
I love those blue star ferns but I feel like I have been personally victimised by ferns in the past which puts me off trying again!
I also leave a little water in the pot when watering especially anthuriums and alocasia’s. They loooooveeee it!
You should propagate rosemary in soil: keep it on the dry side because it hates sitting in water. The same goes with thyme and sage
I would cut the tradescantia into three parts, let them root and repot these cuttings into on plant
Loved this video from another plant parent going through a mealy bugs apocalypse.
The bit you broke off the silver sword was the petiole of the broken leaf. Mine had 3 or 4 in a row that broke and it just had a bunch of those sticking out 😅
Hope you had a wonderful holiday!
What a gorgeous kitchen! ❤

Is it actually summer for you? Or do you mean spring?
give all of your seedlings light. the ones in the dark grow leggy, stretching for light. darkness is only good for germination.

Damn that ernesti...! Wonder why mine doesnt grow that big leaves.... i also have it on a pole.
I like these Long Videos! Fingers crossed that there’s no-or at least not many-pests 🤞🏽 🙏🏽
Loving those videos 👍😃
Older video, but I absolutely HATE mealy bugs as well!

Hi Claire, what do you mean by blue sticky traps for thrips. Is it a specific brand? Ty!
Its like yellow traps against gnats. There are many brands selling this. Just google Blue sticky traps und you can choose which brand you like
My Silver Bay is doing the very same thing as your Silver Queen. It IS out of character and I can't figure it out.
What do you use to dust the leaves?
Hate to break it to you Claire, but it's spring 😉😂
Hi I live watching your videos. I have a weird question what's the black stuff inside your watering can?
I think that are algae
@DieDieEla looks like mould?

“I’ve never actually done it in the dark…”. Oh Claire, my inner middle schooler laughed waaay to hard at that. Hahaha
Not sure if you mentioned it but where did you get that awesome sweatshirt?
Thank you! It's part of my planty merchandise - linked in the description box 💚🐾
@@TheJungleHaven thanks! I don't see a link for it tho?
Do you sterilize and recycle the moss?
Wait when you recycle the water aren’t you putting toxins and any bacteria from the previous plant into all the forward plants?
