I legitimately didn't know that the Cebu Blue can get split leaves!! One more reason for me to put this plant on my wishlist! I absolutely love the look of monstera deliciosa, adansonii and rhaphidophora tetrasperma so this plant is perfect for me!!
I learned so much in this video. ✍1. Wet sticks don't need to be big ✍2. "Leaf to root ratio" ✍3. Trail up for fenestrations and down for hanging basket ✍4. Sean provides invaluable information Thanks Sean!!
We commonly see the common form of cebu blue, which is the dragon's tail, here in the Philippines. Locally called "tibatib". It's even easy to find them around metro Manila wrapping itself on an old tree and concrete walls. The cebu blue variety is really rare, originally found in dense forest of Cebu island, hence the name. I have seen a lot of online sellers labeling the regular form as cebu blue, when in fact it's not. So be careful buyers out there. Though I personally love both of them. Even the regular form is a real beaty. Great video by the way!
I currently saw a video that described the Dragon tail as Bein the Cebu Blue hence the name and the one that looks like a Monstera as being the fake one. Many buyers are told the Fake one, which never has blue leaves is sold as a cebu blue, but later as the leaves develop and loose the Dragon tail form, it’s said to be a Young Plant? I don’t leave in the Philippines but why isn’t this plant BLUE when its a cebu Blue? I also have heard that both come from the Island of Cebu and are of the Epipremnum pinnatum art BUT one is Blue and the other isn’t? So what’s the truth? Logically I would suppose that if the plant isn’t Blue it can’t be the cebu blue.
I was born in Cebu and my Cebu Blue Pothos is one of my most favorite plants in my collection of plants. Their color is so unusual and the leaf shape too. Mine grew so much larger after I repotted it and had it outside in much brighter indirect light. It has now become so large and so heavy to carry. It’s still in a larger planter as a hanging plant y but so tempted to let it grow upwards to start its fenestrations. Love your videos! Thank you again!
I recently saw a video from the winding root where she explained the difference between this plant which is the Epipremnum pinnatum and the Epipremnum pinnatum cebu blue. As this plant matures it develops a leaf similar to that of the Monstera Monster plant and NEVER turns blue. Whereas the cebu blue develops the color almost immediately, and doesn’t need to grow out of the adolescence phase to obtain the color. My question to you is although both come from the same island, WHY doesn’t the green plant turn blue if it’s the cebu blue? She also mention that Many Owners of the so called cebu Blue have in fact the fake variety as seen in this video. Simply based on logic or the process of elimination, I use the concept of, if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, What is it. So please explain this, since you live in the Philippians.
@@brianhardaway9716 I actually live in the US but was born in Cebu. I read about the Tibatib from someone and I know that to be quite common. The Cebu blue is a plant I acquired in the US. Mine grew quite large and full and it has allowed me to propagate several cuttings already. I can’t explain anything regarding your inquiry as I am no plant expert but I can only say things from my personal experience
Sorry to hear about what's happening in Cebu right now because of the typhoon. I'm trying to figure out if there's away the plant community's love of the Cebu blue pothos can be used to help with the crisis. If anyone else sees this idea and can make it happen, please do! 💚
@@brianhardaway9716 Hello. I'm from the Philippines. I have both the regular (green) Epipremnum pinnatum and the Cebu Blue. Aside from Cebu Blue having a silvery blue hue, when it fenestrates the leaves produce holes before spliting completely.
@@ProximaCentauri88 thanks a lot. I was tempted to get one but thanks to you and other Plant Parents I now know the difference. The plant that I was about to gets Mutter wasn’t a Cebu Blue which meant that the leaves wouldn’t split. There’s so many plants that are so similar sometimes that One has to be well informed or you will buy what you think is something and it’s something else. Like the Alocasia Polly and the Frydek for example where the leaf form looks similar but one is smooth and shiny and the other plush and soft. Thanks again for the help.✌🏿
You are so different and have so many different concepts and content for UA-cam videos comparatively other plantii UA-camrs... love to watch your videos with updates soo well explained.., thankyou ❤🌱
Omg, I just got a small cutting from a young lady that was buying the very last one in a Walmart store that happened to be very damaged but I was able to get about 5 nodes from the little stem 😊…I had no idea that cebu blue could grow such large leave and get filtrations!!! This is so exciting ❤️… Thanks for sharing 👏👏👏
Me too, I was already happy with the bluish tone of the leaves... mine I purchased from a very wealthy individual who I met online here in the Philippines... she had soooo many growing on her huge garden and she just want to tame it a bit and sell whatever she can, I got quite a mature one and it was flourishing! It was very cheap because there was no middle man and she put it in a nice pot and cocopeat too! I'm excited to see how it goes!
Soaking the plant and pole might have help. Cutting the stems between leaves while it is still attached to the pole will enable you to pull each cuttings on both upper and lower part of the cuttings at the same time.
i cried when you cried. I rejoiced when you rejoiced. I cringed when you did, as well as got excited for surviving plants as you did. This was a journey and I thank you for sharing. Going to check the Insta account now
Aww I love how you were apologizing to the plant when you broke some roots and leaves. I do the same ❤ thank you for such an informative video! I also like how you showed the struggles and didn’t just pretend it’s so easy.
I had problems with my cebu,. Indoor plant that i had not watered for months because I know how emotional they are. It dropped all its leaves when I cut it up and now they're all wet stick propagations... This video made me feel much better
Sean!!!! Ouchy!!!! only Sean can be this daring propagating this precious Cebu blue...so brave...so...so...brave😂 I just acquired one 3 weeks ago and I've been babying it...something to look forward to in a year's time....cut...cut...cut ✂️snip...snip...snip.🤣
After watching...i just made a moss pole for this Cebu blue of mine, I was wondering why it was giving out smaller leaves...I always learn new things when watching your vlogs. 😀
I appreciate how you give us updates of months later in the same video. I would think this would be an editing nightmare. Keep up the good work! Your plants are amazing!
Found a huge hanging basket at Lowe's for $20. I practically skipped to the car! I've had her a couple months and love the plant so much I scouted for a second one. Found another one today buried under 30 baskets of ivy as if an employee was hiding it for later. Mine now!🙃
Love my Cebu. I actually had to move mine to less light in order to keep its pretty bluish-green color. It was getting indirect light this winter from a grow light and its leaves actually loss that beautiful bluish sheen.
I live in the Philippines and I bought my first Cebu Blue in 2019 for an insane price of 1,500 pesos or about $25 (US) which I found expensive for a plant that's endemic to my country. Mine has multiplied quickly but haven't' fenestrated yet. I should give them a better pole. I find Cebu Blue more beautiful when grown next to a regular green pinantum because their different colors are highlighted. Terima kasih for the tips!
@@onlyplants Do you have Epipremnum pinnatum "mint"? This one is grown by Neil, a plant enthusiast from the Philippines ua-cam.com/video/kpGyAV3f7vE/v-deo.html
I felt heard in this episode 👏🏽 😩 80% of the time when I do everything for my propagations and it’s the one that I’ve forgot about that successfully survived 😂
I’m originally from Mactan Island, Cebu, now based in San Diego, CA, USA. That plant used to grow everywhere especially in the mountains climbing on big trees in the mainland. Unfortunately, it’s not very common anymore in the Philippines. I got mine from Amazon. ❤️❤️❤️
Love your videos! I find cebu are hard to propogate as well, I don't think it's just you. It's about 50/50 success rate for me. The southern blight you were dealing with definitely didn't make it any easier for you either 😅 Thanks for all the awesome plant content !!!
I was cringing the whole time you were wrestling with that monstrous cebu! It was so beautiful 😟. At least you have got some beautiful cuttings and a gorgeous plant.
Thank you Sean, always, good luck with controlling that kind of fungus, interesting enough I m dealing with needle blade fungus in one of my pine trees, was difficult to figure it out en the beginning, now I m treating it with copper fungicide and trying to save the tree, is interesting because my area is pretty dry but Nature is nature and always keep us wondering. By the way I move my cebu blue to a moss pole long ago when you mention in another video, growing crazy but not split leaves yet. 🙏🏻 Always
Great video. After you said that you couldn’t wait for the plant to climb up and get leaves 10 times the size, I immediately paused to check the date of this video hoping and praying that it was from like five years ago but nooooo😔😒 4 months!!! so I guess I’ll have to wait, in real time, to see what they’ll look like.😃🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I was so happy to see the entire plant didn't just up and die. Cebu blue is one of my favorites simply for that leaf color. I have a tiny one with four leaves on it that hasn't grown at all in a year's time. It will put out a new leaf and then an old one dies. Rinse and repeat. I'm hoping that this summer's humidity will help it along but it's not quite here yet. Another couple of weeks and then I can put it outside. Looking forward to your updates on yours 🥰 Pepe la romia
I just noticed you've been making videos for almost a full year! You're an incredible educator and plant papa! I really like the cebu blues but I haven't been lucky enough to find one in my area
Hello I'm from Philippines but not in Cebu. I think that the dragon tail and cebu blue are just one. I found this plant in a jungle near us. On the forrest floor it has small blueish dark green leaves as it creep towards trees to grab on the leaves grew bigger and more fenistrated. Its leaves grow so large like a monstera deliciousa. #freeplants😁
It's because you can find this anywhere especially in the mountains or even in the city climbing on tree .. it's just became known when monstera hyped ..the sad part is some sellers market this as monsteras with monstera prices when you can just buy this under a dollar ..and there is 2 types of this ..epipremnum pinnatum green ..and cebu blue with a tint of blue on the leaves ..
@@oh_emm278 the green one you're referring to, the epipremnum pinnatum is the common one we see climbing up on trees along the metro. That blue one is really hard to find. Some told me that they were able to see a real cebu blue in the wild, i mean it's really in a dense forest. I'm just hoping that the wild population gets protected by the local government. Such a real natural treasure
Whenever I propagate Cebu blue wet sticks, I do it in sphagnum moss in an airtight container and give it a bit of fresh air every couple of days. It will sit under a grow light because I am in Northern Canada, but so far every single one has rooted and been able to pot within a month!
I’ve had a whole cutting with 3 nodes in water for a couple of weeks now not knowing how to proceed. Thanks for this idea of sphagnum moss in a terrarium setting which I will definitely do asap. Is it also viable to use peat moss instead of sphag moss?
Love this video! I have had a little cebu cutting that’s been on the struggle bus since I got it. So, I got a more established one and she’s doing great. They’re definitely a challenge to propagate.
This plant is rarely seen in Hong Kong too. On the whole, other than common Epipremnum aureum, the rest are not easily found. I love its bluish tinted leaves! 💙
I got a cutting with 3 leaves and one foliage coming. I cut it into three and started with water prop. I lost the new foliage and one leaf started yellowing. So I tried perlite prop, and that was doing nothing. Finally, I just put it in sphagnum as my last hope, and surprisingly rooted super well! It's now in soil with the 3rd generation of growths! The new leaves are tiny tho, but it's definitely hard propagating it haha.
My first reaction was..."Whaaat! Ouch! ...Noooo!" and then I realised this is Sean..breathe... master propagator knows best :-) I take away confidence building measures from you hahah!
oh. that’s what almost killed my silvery ann that southern blight fungus. 😢 i thought it was because of banana water and bokashi. will read about it more. but thanks again, sean! 😘
I really felt your pain when you snapped the second leaf and then mushed the end of your cutting with the secateurs! Been there so many times 🤣 I'm sure a plant that size grew back very fast!
Omg my heart was broken when cut the plant 😥, lucky you still have one beautiful alive Cebu with fenestrations 😁! My Cebu don’t have fenestration yet, hope one day... will have that big leaf with fenestration.
If your planning to propagate again. I would make a miss pole that’s mesh with a loosely packed moss and then cut the pole up/ open to work the roots out. The plant as a seller or owner is worth more than a cheap pole . Would likely cut the nodes in situ before dismantling … pleased the main ones are doing okay 👍🏻
I had 2 wetsticks from my cebu blue and they took a loooong time .. had em in moss in my milsbo cabinet. mine is still a juvenile so no fenestrations yet but I'm letting it climb now :)
I have a very fenestrated M. Siltepecana. I airlayered the growth that grew beyond my 5ft pole so I only have to remove the leaves the free off my pole.
The Cebu Blue is in such a demand here in the states. I managed to find a small plant of it that I have trying to get growing. It's taking me a while but I'm hoping it will be nice and bushy by the end of the year.
Cebu is a very high demand plant. It's not a plant you see in abundance in the states. Even though Costa Farms is producing it, it's like a unicorn when you find one and it's unusual JUST ONE. I saw a sad cutting in a nursery sell for $50. Next day I found a big hanging basket packed full for $15 grown by Costa. It's also auctioned for big bucks. I'm going to grow a few stems on a pole and see what becomes of it. I've already too cuttings that we're naturally air layering.
kamusta, the ce in cebu is just like how you would pronounce the ce in celery. although the way non filipinos say it has a nice sound to it as well- hehe sea blue 🌊
Go lots and lots of it, such a fast grower and prolific plant, propagates easily but it is very prone to root rot, I recommend to not let the watwr root to form long, I only let them grow an inch or inch and half and I pot it in soil, I've found out by many trials that if you let the water roots get long and plant it, they will rot or have a very hard time getting used to soil. Most of mine died during an unexpected freeze in texas and now, 3 months after; I got lots of it again because they grow so fast. They propagate super easy from wet sticks, especially in sphagnum moss.
Off topic but.... when you are at your table, over your left should is a ??Huperzia (club moss)?? I have become very interested in these plants... could you please do a care/propagation video on it? Great video as always!!
This only the 2nd video.ive watched of yours and it's the 2nd video I watched you absolutely rip apart plants with no chill whatsoever 🤣 the 1st one I watched was the rubber tree video and I had to shut my eyes lol
I have this at the back of my house here in Philippines, just put it in your backyard where it can climb. Just let it do its own thing and you will be amazed
I'm in the Philippines and they're actually pretty easy to find (and cheap) if you know where to look! I have 3 pots of adult form Cebu Blues right now
Attach a second moss pole on top of the first moss pole. When the plant grows to the top of the second pole, cut the stem where the two poles meet. Boom. Two full moss poles. Makes propagation easier
I legitimately didn't know that the Cebu Blue can get split leaves!! One more reason for me to put this plant on my wishlist! I absolutely love the look of monstera deliciosa, adansonii and rhaphidophora tetrasperma so this plant is perfect for me!!
I learned so much in this video.

I'm just hoping that the wild population gets protected by the local government. Such a real natural treasure
Thank you for your sacrifice! I guess it was good you did it since it had blight 🤷♀️
Whenever I propagate Cebu blue wet sticks, I do it in sphagnum moss in an airtight container and give it a bit of fresh air every couple of days. It will sit under a grow light because I am in Northern Canada, but so far every single one has rooted and been able to pot within a month!
Whoaaa cool. Wet stick props are so much fun 🥰

@@Queendamidala I've not used peat moss for them personally, my worry there is that it would be too moist and would rot - but again, im not sure!

I watch this for like 5x today 🤭 not consecutively at least...and made me realise that I have a Cebu blue lol. Thanks sean 💚
😅😅
This is exactly what I need to know about Cebu blue.👍🏽🥰🙏
This plant is rarely seen in Hong Kong too. On the whole, other than common Epipremnum aureum, the rest are not easily found. I love its bluish tinted leaves! 💙
Ouch ouch!!! I'm staking up mines now as am watching you what a beautiful plant.Merry Christmas and happy growing and stay safe.
Still a great success I would say....I think the wet sticks ones will soon be bushy and long and make you happy... thanks for sharing your tips.. :)
I got a cutting with 3 leaves and one foliage coming. I cut it into three and started with water prop. I lost the new foliage and one leaf started yellowing. So I tried perlite prop, and that was doing nothing. Finally, I just put it in sphagnum as my last hope, and surprisingly rooted super well! It's now in soil with the 3rd generation of growths! The new leaves are tiny tho, but it's definitely hard propagating it haha.
Looks like they are not the easiest to propagate 😅
My first reaction was..."Whaaat! Ouch! ...Noooo!" and then I realised this is Sean..breathe... master propagator knows best :-) I take away confidence building measures from you hahah!
Haha I think I know how to do it better next time! 😀
Those are some amazing fenestrations. I am going to put mine on a moss pole because it looks like a totally different plant!!!
And much more expensive too when its fenestrated 🙉
Awesome video, Shawn!!!
I have this plant but not sure its name.. good thing I was able to find your video.. hope to see mine as lush as yours 😊
ornamental vines, greetings Indonesian vanilla farmers🇲🇨
Love all videos .... fun to watch ... 🎋🎋🎋
Because Philippines so hot this cebu blue need little bit colder place to grow them well. I love your care of plants number one fan here.
You have the most beautiful plants I’ve ever seen😍
🙈
oh. that’s what almost killed my silvery ann that southern blight fungus. 😢 i thought it was because of banana water and bokashi. will read about it more. but thanks again, sean! 😘
I really felt your pain when you snapped the second leaf and then mushed the end of your cutting with the secateurs! Been there so many times 🤣
I'm sure a plant that size grew back very fast!
Oh they are huge now 😀
Omg my heart was broken when cut the plant 😥, lucky you still have one beautiful alive Cebu with fenestrations 😁! My Cebu don’t have fenestration yet, hope one day... will have that big leaf with fenestration.
Its so big now 🙈 that top cutting in the video
If your planning to propagate again. I would make a miss pole that’s mesh with a loosely packed moss and then cut the pole up/ open to work the roots out. The plant as a seller or owner is worth more than a cheap pole . Would likely cut the nodes in situ before dismantling … pleased the main ones are doing okay 👍🏻
Thank youu. They are now hugeeee and climbing up 2.5 meters up a wall 😅
I had 2 wetsticks from my cebu blue and they took a loooong time .. had em in moss in my milsbo cabinet. mine is still a juvenile so no fenestrations yet but I'm letting it climb now :)
I have a big full basket of cebu I need to repot and start training to climb up. I was thinking of growing them up a board.
Yayy!!! 🤩 I love cebu blue!! PI represent! ☺️ Aww that’s so sad they have a hard time finding there now:(
😍 Beautiful, I’ve yet to see this plant in England 🇬🇧
I have a very fenestrated M. Siltepecana. I airlayered the growth that grew beyond my 5ft pole so I only have to remove the leaves the free off my pole.
I wasn’t ready for the “everybody died” scene 😅😂
😅😅 its a nice plot twist right.
The Cebu Blue is in such a demand here in the states. I managed to find a small plant of it that I have trying to get growing. It's taking me a while but I'm hoping it will be nice and bushy by the end of the year.
I love that you show your "struggles"! Lol. Thank you!! Sub and Video SAVED!
Haha thank you ❤️ welcome to the channel
Cebu is a very high demand plant. It's not a plant you see in abundance in the states. Even though Costa Farms is producing it, it's like a unicorn when you find one and it's unusual JUST ONE. I saw a sad cutting in a nursery sell for $50. Next day I found a big hanging basket packed full for $15 grown by Costa. It's also auctioned for big bucks. I'm going to grow a few stems on a pole and see what becomes of it. I've already too cuttings that we're naturally air layering.
I've found 3 full baskets by costa farms 2 yrs ago before it went for crazy high prices.
Cebu Blue here in Philippines is everywhere (here in Mindanao at least). People even sell the "variegated form" here in our town.
kamusta, the ce in cebu is just like how you would pronounce the ce in celery.
although the way non filipinos say it has a nice sound to it as well- hehe sea blue 🌊
Oooo I love the local pronounciation se-bu blue too!
I am following, from Philippines. Love your video.
Thank you 👻
Thank you so much for your videos 💚🪴
I love your videos & ur voice!
😀
Go lots and lots of it, such a fast grower and prolific plant, propagates easily but it is very prone to root rot, I recommend to not let the watwr root to form long, I only let them grow an inch or inch and half and I pot it in soil, I've found out by many trials that if you let the water roots get long and plant it, they will rot or have a very hard time getting used to soil. Most of mine died during an unexpected freeze in texas and now, 3 months after; I got lots of it again because they grow so fast. They propagate super easy from wet sticks, especially in sphagnum moss.
Whoaaa thanks for sharing
Love your videos Sean!
Thank youu 😀
I just love this man ❤️
Holy cow Seannnn!! I could hear the roots snapping every you pull the Cebu Blue on the pole. 🙈
Haha its like a horror movie right... suspense and thrills
Ohhhhh, Im also exerting effort here while you are pulling that rooting plant.
😅😅
oh my gosh it’s so beautiful 😍🥰
Off topic but.... when you are at your table, over your left should is a ??Huperzia (club moss)?? I have become very interested in these plants... could you please do a care/propagation video on it? Great video as always!!
I’ll definitely touch on huperzias at some point. They are propagated by root division if Im not wrong... slow growing though
@@onlyplants Thank you!! :)
OMG the beginning was so hard to watch but I’m glad the ending was successful.
This only the 2nd video.ive watched of yours and it's the 2nd video I watched you absolutely rip apart plants with no chill whatsoever 🤣 the 1st one I watched was the rubber tree video and I had to shut my eyes lol
Haha omg the other propagations are not this scary! Haha usually they are more relaxing and chill
I'm from Cebu and ever since i saw your epipremnum cebu blue I've been trying to get my hands on one of those and i STILL haven't found one.
Wow! Never knew they can have fenestration!!😮
Oh yes they do haha
Lucky you, mine from 10 more cuttings only top cutting is survive.
Thank you for sharing.
I have this at the back of my house here in Philippines, just put it in your backyard where it can climb. Just let it do its own thing and you will be amazed
❤️❤️ yes mine has gotten so biggg I had to chop it down
I'm in the Philippines and they're actually pretty easy to find (and cheap) if you know where to look! I have 3 pots of adult form Cebu Blues right now
Lucky you!!!
@@belindanadela4203 if you're here too I can recommend a good seller of CB cuttings :) all of mine are from this one person
Attach a second moss pole on top of the first moss pole. When the plant grows to the top of the second pole, cut the stem where the two poles meet. Boom. Two full moss poles. Makes propagation easier
Whoaaaa
Very cool!
your plant is gorgeous! Ithink I prefer to keep mine small and bushy without fenestrations though bc this looks a bit like a monstera :)
