I now get ads for trash bins on your videos 😂
😂
😂
😛
Thank you for the “watering in” tip.
Great video!
I get ads for barbecues. I don't know what's worse...
I couldn't agree more to watering after repotting! I've always done this after repotting and not once have I ever had an issue with my plants. I also water my plants before moving to a new home and that also helps prevent shock ☺
I run into hydrophobic soil all the time with my Echeveria. Mr. Sheffield’s tip of poking the soil with a stick periodically has helped a lot.
Love your humor. I raise up my pots with glass jars which reflect light. I also use tins or large cans that I decorate. To keep the pots and the risers from getting too pattern crazy I keep them in basic white and clear glass so the plant is the star. Hugs from Utah. ♻🪴🤗
Thanks!
Thank you Mr. Sheffield for all of your plant content. I've been enjoying your videos for months, before owning a big amount of plants and becoming a youtube creator myself. Your witty brit humor makes the perfect touch to all your videos.
Nice one thanks!
I agree with watering after repotting! My mother gave me her golden pothos, it wouldn't grow and it didn't grow even after I placed it in my apartment near a window. I repotted the plant, gave it a good wash and it started growing leaves like crazy!
The intensity of light is very hard for humans to judge because our pupils are constantly trying to even out the light our eyes receive.
🤯 It makes perfect sense that the watering allows the soil to settle…thank you!
My pleasure 😊
Best news for beginners. I learned this years ago.
Absolutely true and a step no one should skip. From your yard plants to your house plants, this is an important essential step. It settles the soils, helps eliminate air pockets and provides a comfty blanket for your new roots to cozy up to.
Great stuff 👍
K.Hart trying get D vitamin while The Rock blocking his sun 😂😂
Quite the picture eh
Thank you , Rich. You are so loved. We don't want you to get sick. You are the best teacher on UA-cam. Watch everything you do. Do something nice for yourself today. You always think of tips to keep our plant kids healthy. PS my watermelon pepperoni is doing great. I will see you soon. Have a great weekend.Billie🦁
Thank you 😊
I use pillar candle holders to raise up my green friends
I sometimes use books to even out plant heights! (Plants are in nursery pots covered by more decorative "diapers", for lack of better term.)
Ideal for new video. Self watering pots. Which plants ❤ them and which ones Don’t.
Now I really want to acquire my own Ripple Jade! Never seen one before but it's beautiful!
She’s a looker!
I've been watering in houseplants and garden plants for years. Outdoors, I would even water in when the hole was 1/2 full of soil, then fill it and water in again. Settle the soil and removed air without compacting the soil.
Nice, I just repotted 4 plants today!
Thanks for the video Sheff!
Been gone for a couple of weeks now. What a way to be back. I’m going to binge all the video’s I’ve missed 🫶
Welcome back!
My tip for today make a vertical shelf up the window l think I sent you Pic. All plants can get great light by rotating Have a great day Rich. Your baby's will getup in life. What great time of year 🦁
Very good!
Hi Rich another great teaching g video. As always your humor gives us chance to watch more than once. Spring is a great time of year. Your plants are doing great. Mine are great thanks to your teaching. You are sunshine on a cloudy. Keep on keeping on. Billie/usa. PS Amanda is back. As you say check it out lol
Thanks!
It's also called "puddling in". Stops transplant shock. Just did my calathea, and used rain water, she has come out singing! Thanks for your guidance Mr S ! 😊
Oh nice. I like that term
Thank you Mr Sheff'ers : )
Always appreciate your videos and humor, happy weekend and thank you for this video! 🌿🌹🌷
Thank you! You too!
I love your choice of words 😂 pull his pants down, give him a bath and watch him fart 😂👏🏻 thank you 🪴
😁
You’ve got me saying it now 😂 “pull their trousers down” and my friend about spit her drink out when I said it lol
🤣
I use wooden blocks to elevate the plants. The plants are in cache pots so no drainage:-)
To raise plants up I use pillar candle stands, the poundshop had some lovely glass ones. I've also used empty candle jars.
I used blu tac to stick the plant pot to them so they didn't get knocked off
Great idea!
That's a great idea! @@NailahRoberts
Love your channel...bought the watering meter fro your Amazon shop...game changer. TY😊
Awesome! Thank you!
Great tips. I use glass cake stand to raise up 1 of plants
So you heard as well that Kevin and the Rock are Plants! haha
not Kevin Hart catching stray bullets in a sheffield video 💀💀💀
😂
I've used your easy repot method the last go around. I still made a mess because that's what I do, but it was less mess and very much quicker and easier.
That's great!
Thank you for these planty tips! I hope your plants thrive :)
My pleasure 😊
Beautiful ripple jade!
I just love your videos
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much!
You bet!
Nematoden can help against fungus gnats 😺
I put them in the plantwater 👌
Great tips as usual, Mr. Sheffield! Like you i use pots, also garden books and garden magazines to elevate my plants and I love the look. ❤❤❤
Sounds great!
Beautiful plants
Thanks bro ! Makes always great useful tips xx
Any time!
I water in everything but cacti and succulents. I wait a week or two for them.
Now this real advice and a real tip.
New subscriber to your channel here from Sheffield! Loving your style of videos and your sense of humour. Some great information keep it coming! . I love your accent where does it originate from?.
Thanks! A London Sheffield hybrid
I use old plant pots to raise up my plants. I do this to make more room for plants. I guess I’m limiting the light of the plants underneath them.well I have to get that fixed. Thank you for the tip. 😊
Sounds great!
I don’t wanna be a Dead beat plant dad 😭
You need a t-shirt that says, “frequency…not volume”. 😊
I know right!
I’m leaving East Africa now and bought a nice anthurium for a bette price then I would in the US and I wasn’t allowed to bring it😢. Despite aphis in the us saying I could bring it if I removed the soil. I’m so said I wanted to hold my anthurium and hug it the same way you do in videos 😂.
Oh no!
You should get a philodendron Gloriosum, they are (in my opinion) the most rewarding of velvet philos. Mine doesn’t crisp, doesn’t mind slightly lower light, likes drying out a little.
I got one a few weeks ago. Waiting for it to grow
@@SheffieldMadePlants not the fastest grower but once they size up they speed up.
5:40 😂😂😂
Can you do a video on the light meter? What ranges of foot candles or lux constitute low light, indirect bright light, etc? Thank you!
The Light Your Plants REALLY Get Will Shock You
ua-cam.com/video/wvu__8tnavg/v-deo.html
I watched the suggested video. It was great and answered my questions on measuring light. Now do I really want to know how little light my plants get! Thank you.
💚💚
Hey Mr. Sheffield! Could you explain why you have covered your plastic moss poles with a cellophane sheet? I am planning to buy those mosspoles sool, but would like to know what i should be weary about.
To try and stop them drying out quickly
@@SheffieldMadePlants Thanks!
LMAO @ the Kevin Hart comment! I am dead!!!😅🤣😂
😁
Hi Mr. Sheffield! Need your opinion. Do you test your tap water for PH level? If you do, what meter do you use? I live where it rains a drop or 2 just often enough to keep the air sticky. No rain water for my plants.
API stress coat sure saves a lot of time as I don't have to filter the chloramine out of the water anymore. Thanks for the tip! Much easier to water my plants now!!!
I bought a digital meter from Amazon. My ph is ok. Slightly acidic
@@SheffieldMadePlants Did you have to calibrate it? Is it legal per UA-cam for you to tell me which brand you bought? thx!
@@solarwinds- I don’t think I had to or maybe I didn’t realise I needed to. I can’t remember the brand. There are lots to choose from
Mr Sheffield
Help. I have potted up lavender and geraniums for outside with bought compost and both times I have been bitten on my legs. I was covered up,jeans and jumper. I feel like all this effort to make my garden nice is too much bother. Please help,any answer for me.
Not sure what advice you need?
What’s wrong with having air around the roots?
The only thing I can think of is a moist slice of cake, it's really good but if you go back the next day, the cake that was exposed to the air is hard and crunchy instead of moist and good.
Not very scientific but I just got my coffee 😂☕
It’s better to have soil around the roots
Good question:
Roots will not grow in air, with the exception of those plants with aerial roots which is a whole different story. For most plants, as you'll see in nature, they aren't growing roots into the air, they're growing where there's water! Without water, and the various soil fungi, roots can't get the stuff the plant needs. There's a rather complex interaction between plants and the soil microorganisms that allow the various nutrients to be absorbed. Fertilizer actually promotes the growth of these soil microorganisms which is what helps the plant grow. Dumping a bunch of fertilizer alone doesn't do much and can chemically burn the roots (ouch!).
What about hydroponics? That's a whole other story for another time.
Now for the exceptions: orchids are the most famous for not wanting to be buried alive...but these plants have adapted to growing without much soil and can their roots can pull moisture from the air. That's all well and good if your orchid is growing in the jungle, but I suspect you don't live in the jungle. What orchids need is FAST draining soil/bark medium and, think jungle again, rather frequent watering/misting. If you've ever been to a tropical environment, you'll know that it rains, at least a bit, nearly every day, except during the 'dry' season when it rains from time to time, and rains constantly during the wet season.
Those aerial roots on your Monstera or philodendron are for support, these guys climb trees, you see, and (jungle again!) in that humid environment they can also pull some moisture from the air and the bark of the tree they're climbing. These tropical vines are fighting for the light with all those other plants, so they climb and as any climber knows, you need something to hold onto on the way up or you'll fall. You don't see them scrambling along the ground, do you?
Cactus? These plants have adapted to an organically-poor, fast-draining soil with infrequent watering, but when they do get rained on, it's a downpour...ever been in a desert thunderstorm? You'll be soaked in no time...and dry out quickly once the storm has passed. Remember that your cactus is in a pot, not the desert, and those roots can't search for moisture outside the bounds of whatever you're trapped them in. Drainage is the key to not killing them with too much water.
The take-away: your "house" plants aren't adapted to grow in houses! (Surprise!) If you mimic the conditions each plant has adapted to in nature, you'll have good success. You don't have to live in a tropical greenhouse, your green buddies are generally pretty forgiving, but at the same time, you can't expect them to thrive in a situation that's the opposite of where their ancestors decided to settle down.
Wild guess, soil is what holds the water. Air pockets means there's no water for the roots to absorb
Does this watering apply to aloe Vera repotting as well?
Yep
Mr. Sheffield,
My husband and I are selling our house and moving to, "the end of the road" (I haven't bought it yet, don't want to give the location jic)
Last night I found a peony farm there. It is a very picturesque location.I let my agent sleep in till 6. (I warned him about me!)
I'm imagining an event area for weddings. I mean, how much more beautiful a location could you get for your wedding than a flower farm, set between a mountain range and the bay. I am so excited. And a little terrified. I have always had gardens buuuuuuuuut a farm? That's a little different. So, tell me honestly, would you jump at this chance?
If you’re up for it then why not
@@SheffieldMadePlants I got the paper work on the flower farm. I think these people might have "in perpituitied" themselves right off the market. There were so many restrictions, covenances, 200'+ setbacks, I wouldn't even be able to build the pavillions and trellises and suport arches for the wedding grounds because there is less than 25% of the land your allowed to build structures on legally vs. physically.
The real deal breaker was when they said, Pickles, Popcorn, Sneze-its, and Sweetpea weren't welcome. What kind of horrible human being writes off horses for perpetuity on a 6 acre rural farm?
It was beautiful, but apparently that particular dream is someone elses.
I guess I'll have to keep looking for mine.
I really like the flower farm idea. Starting from scratch perhaps. It would take 3-5 to get the gardens established. . . Hmm? I think I'm going to view the farm anyway. It will give me do's and don'ts for if I do.
I would feel a little bad but, I warned this agent about me. He said he could take it. lol.
What is the name of that adorable plant at 5:13?
Ripple Jade
I have a question....I have an alocasia regal shield...one of my leaves just limped over last week..I staked it but this morning it completely flopped over....the stem was wrinkled but the leaf was beautiful and dark green like a healthy leaf would look..it was one of my huge leaves....the rest of the plant is ok and vibrant ..what could have happened? I just had a new leaf unfurl recently...help somebody
Was it an older leaf? Could just be shedding a leaf or two
@@SheffieldMadePlants yes I think it was...it will shed the leaf even if it is a healthy looking leaf with no yellowing or browning? The leaf was nice and deep green like the others
Hello to my British friend from Serbian living in Arizona :)! Is it better to water plants with alkaline water?Also,i heard that green tea as well as turkish coffee mud is good as fertilizer, is this true??Im subscriber btw,and is there way of getting your email or other way communicating with you directly since im in process of making jungle out of my house and backyard-simply miss green here in dessert and LOVE plants ! Thank you!
Neutral or slightly acidic water is better. Green tea will be fine. Not sure on the coffee mud. My email is in my about page
Thank you !
8:09 what are the tall "plastic wrapped" things in the back?
The moss poles?
@@SheffieldMadePlants oh okay I never knew such a thing existed Cool
@@SheffieldMadePlants are they to support the growing plant?
@@maribabette2205 yep
Dear,dear Rich. Please,please you need to take care of yourself😆. Pleas stop vaping. Vaping is just as bad as cigarettes. You give your plants the best way thrive. You need to give yourself a way to thrive. We need you helping us for a long to come. We love you in our lives. Please listen to meeee. 🦁🐈
Vaping?
I guess most of the plants need federal police waterboarding in new home
I use books 😂
Columbia senses????? raincoat needed....lol
😁
Gaping is smoking those pepper ment and sperment pretend cigarettes. They are being banded in the US we don't want you to get sick. Please check out the literature onvaping. Hope I explained myself clear enough. I am a Momma bear too. lip
They’re not vapes so no worries
Isn't that obvious? 😵💫
I cringe every time you say "pull his trousers down". Surely, there is a more pleasant analogy? 😅
Air pockets = Certain Death
Where else can you see a farting Ripple Jade that's lost its trousers? 🪴🌬 Rich, I appreciate you identifying the plants you show when there are several kinds in a video. I was going to ask what the Ripple Jade was and there you put its name on the screen the second after I decided I loved it. 😊 Thanks for all great tips!
Great stuff 👍
