your flustered face is my face but mine swears at the plant when it decides to be a psycho... then, when I get it back in I tell it sorry, because I am still Canadian LOL
Hahaha.....oh trust me when the camera isn't there it's a STORM
@@EverythingPlants lol I could see you wanted to cuss it out, the self restraint was impressive! My moonlight has a fairly large root system but is only two smaller vines and looks horrible. It's putting out new leaves though so I'm hoping I'll have a full looking pot soon... It's not helping me that with the cool temps I've got mice sneaking in and doing their own gardening, uprooting my plants and then planting seeds! One should not need to weed houseplants but here I am 🤔🤷🏼♀️ At least with the gardening mice I know which spots to put traps at night...
Thank you for showing us what happens to most of us at one time or another. You are still the best!
Aww...thanks Karen. It's happens to ALL of us lol
I could feel your frustration but thank you for sticking with it & showing us how you were going to save it! I've had similar experiences & now don't feel alone!
Oh ya.....happens to all of us. That's the nice things about the plant community is sharing those experiences and emotions that sometimes STEM from it 😊
Your Jade Satin is absolutely gorgeous!!! The leaves are huge. Mine is much smaller but it’s one of my favourite plants in my collection!
They are wonderful.....but slow growing at first. Are they still pretty uncommon around here in Saskatchewan. Are you rare where you live?
I live near Ottawa Ontario and they’re definitely harder to find
@@kristathompson9888 I've been waiting to see this one become more readily available....but it just never does.
@@EverythingPlants HI Jeff, I stumbled upon a Jade Satin at a plant shop near me. I'm not sure if I bought one or two of them but i haven't seen any since. I have propagated both the Jade and the Exotica in perlite. I cut several long pieces and put them in a tall Wendy's cup. Water it well and mist it. I have done the Exotica in a tall square pot with some soil and mostly perlite. I put them under a dome and mist them occasionally. I hope that you are able to get another
Hey, it happens, we all do things that were like wtf how/ Lol I love that you're just real with it and show that not always everything goes smoothly. Thanks for always making great videos.
Thanks April!!! It happens to all of us....I just wish it didn't happen to this one
You are beginning as a perfect presentation in a military briefing and continuing like a cute, clumsy but hardworking seventh grader in the science lab. 🤗😍😍🥰 Thank you so much for this sincere, informative and great video 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼☮️🕊💚🙋🏻♀️
I'll accept that hahaha. Thanks so much for watching. This is an older video now....please check out for newer content as well!
Your jade satin is just beautiful! Thanks for always keeping it real.
Of course!!!
Glad to see I’m not the only one who messes up a repot 😂Always enjoy your videos!👏
It happens to EVERYONE HAHA
Thank you so much I really really enjoyed watching you talk about your plants. I absolutely love ❤❤❤❤ the Exotica one so stunning too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
You took the words or of my mouth! "What a cute little bottle!" LOLOL. Love my moonlight!!! She's amazing. Thank you for the video! As usual I appreciate your knowledge and your willingness to share with us! Thank you! 🌱💚🌿
I laughed when I received the tiny bottle in the mail haha 😄
Very helpful info, Jeff! Thanks!
Thanks for watching, Melissa!
Great Info...thanks tried with my first Exotica died the edges got brown didn't know why starting a new Exotics
Great video Jeff! Love scindapsus.
I laughed cause i know your pain.... when plant chores go crazy awry. Im just trying to help you plants I swear! 🪴✂️
Hahaha...things happen. I'm not worried about it at all. Thanks for watching Doug!
Hi Jeff , greetings from Robin in FL.. Love the jade, it still looks great not a fail. Would like to get a jade,my exotica is much better after a repot . Thx for the demo on cuttings.
Lol. You’re so calm. When I have fails I tend to call myself names. 😂 I especially enjoy your filming area. You’re literally surround by plants. It’s so different than just last year. Next year you’ll have to part your plants so you can peek out. Lol. You’ll have to change your UA-cam name to Everything Tarzan . Haha
It was just such a shock to me at first. Haha
Thank you for sharing I really do wish I could have gotten some cuttings to buy from you have a blessed day beautiful collection
Maybe someday!
i found your channel searching for people with jade satin scindapus plants! I bought one shortly after finding your channel. I think they're so beautiful. I hope the plant does well
Oh it will recover fine. It was just a bit of a shock at first. Thanks for following my channel! How is your plant doing?
I always enjoy your videos! Love these plants. At one time I thought I would try to get each one in this genus but then I realized that I couldn’t tell a few of them apart unless they were side by side.😆. I would love a Jade like yours so now I’m on the hunt. They seem to love our Summer humidity here in North Carolina. 😊. Take care and happy growing! 👌🪴🥰
Good luck in your Jade search!
I was just on Etsy today browsing scindapsus and came across the Jade for the first time ever… and fell in love with it! Definitely on the top of my wish list. Next time I propagate my exotica I will try perlite because water propping them took almost 4-6 months.
Try putting a pothos cutting in water with the scindapsus
But the perlite prop box works awesome ua-cam.com/video/6c-Oz8aXNzM/v-deo.html
Love your Scindapsus’. This was one of my dream plants which I ended up getting and then it went down hill, a lot of my fault.
Then I did my best to prop it, didn’t work, then all of the plant just ended up dying.
I feel my green thumb is a lot better now though and I really want to give this a try again.
Your plant loves lovely!
Scindapsus are definitely more difficult compared to pothos and harder to propagate. Perlite prop box is a good way to propagate these plants
@@EverythingPlants yeah after seeing your videos of the perlite prop box I’ve been toying with the idea of doing that.
My standpoint on plants right now is to only get the select few I’m very interested in and work with those small few only.
Light is always the issue with house plants and my lightening isn’t the best and I don’t have a really good grow light to accommodate, so space and light is at a premium at this point for my moss poles. Idk, long and boring reply to your suggestion hahaha.
But yes., perlite prob box definitely looks amazing and a good way to go.
Here’s hoping to win the lotto and being able to have all the things for plants! 🤞🏼
Such big leaves on your Exotica! My leaves are small and leggy vines. Perfect timing for this video,for me. I am going to chop mine up and put cuttings in my perlite prop box.🤞. I wouldn't call it an epic fail,just a repotting glitch. My Truebii is beautiful. Keep in mind that when you put vines into the soil, they need extra moisture. Being in terracotta it will dry out faster. I just squirt along the buried vine, to help it root more quickly and not effect the rest of the plant.😉🥰😍💖 Thank you for this video, going to go chopup Exotica now.😁🤞
I will definitely be watering those cuttings!!! And good luck with your choppin
Your videos are like therapy. Cause then i want to look over and wipe down my leaves on my big leafed plants and fully examine my plants. I got a scindapus at home Depot and it was meant to be a tribute to my baby and then it began to die off and i panicked and then just watched this and just cleaned it up and have the vines that had major root rot in jars of water and are sitting close to an east facing window. A month later I noticed some root growth and i can't wait to pot up the vines and have it sit on my baby's pedestal
Thanks Juan! That is so awesome you were able to save them and get roots
@@EverythingPlants will we be getting an update video on some of your plants??? 😜😜😜
I feel your frustration. The cut pieces you push into the soil should grow fine but a little root hormone mixed in water and applied in the needed spot might encourage faster growth.
I'll have to keep an eye on them and don't let the dry out.....too much haha
Thank you for this REAL video...alas your human! I've just subscribed to your channel as your advice (and mistake) helped A LOT! ive been struggling with my Scindapsus Silver Satin and thanks to you I now know exactly why 👍
Hey Connie! Thanks so much for subscribing. What was wrong with your plant?
@@EverythingPlants Thanks for your reply! I think I'm not letting it completely dry between waterings. It's a single stem plant my hubby surprised me with, over a year ago, which I potted up on a moss pole, and it has hardly grown. Think I've only had one or two new leaves and had to remove one that didn't look healthy (maybe fungal?)...😔
@@EverythingPlants Also, it's been just over a year and I have very little growth. I got it during autumn last year here in Sydney. It gave me only 2 new leaves till now and so I'm hoping that as we are just coming into spring here it will start growing like crazy.🙏
Hi Jeff Oh I do really like Scindapsus. I can’t believe how big the leaves are on your plant’s 😊 I’m looking for a jade satin, a silver hero and a silver lady, but quite difficult here in the UK !
Hey Mel! They are all lovely and I hope you can find those varieties soon.
Great video Jeff! your exotica is so BEAUTIFUL! I, too am a huge fan of adding extra perlite 😍 I'm sure your jade will recover for you in no time! 😅at least she still looks nice!😅 oopsie!
Thanks Pearl!
Ps. I’m sorry your Jade repot was plotting against you. But I’m glad you still shared that part even though it wasn’t perfect! 😍💚
Haha....thanksfor watching my video
My favorite plants 🪴...repotting was hilarious...sorry I felt your frustration...been there done that lol
Hahaha....we all have! 😅
Thank you for the full disclosure LOL! If it makes you feel any better I pretty much did the same thing with my Exotica this March! LOL
Oh no....how is it doing now?
@@EverythingPlants I had to root a few random broken pieces. The main part of the plant is recovering nicely, but I'm pretty sure I will not be trying to repot this plant for at least another 2 years. It seems to take them a lot longer to get root bound then say a pothos even though it looks like they have put off tremendous growth up top.
The Jade Satin is gorgeous! I live in Asia and that US cultivar is very hard to find here. We do have local Jade Satins but they don't grow as big as the US cultivar.
Ive seen it on another video once and thought to myself that doesn't look like a Jade satin, but now this makes complete sense. Thanks proxima centauri
Ah man! Im sorry for that happening to your Jade. You kept it pushing and that's what we have to do sometimes as plant parents. Im excited to see what happens with your soil prop.
I have a huge exotica and she is a beast in a 14" pot and I cut her back like 3 times a year I have given away 3 feet long vines with leaves on them. Its crazy how much they grow when they are happy. Your plants are beautiful. Im working on getting my Jade that big. 🤞
Thanks Jennifer! I have a feeling it's not going to root fast enough and I'll be putting them in the perlite prop box
@@EverythingPlants Yea, I have not had luck with soil prop on any of my scindapsus even with a bag tied around it for high humidity. 🤷♀️
Thrip poop = gross
Worm castings = amazing miracle!
Exactly 😂
I am amazed, first time seeing how big Scindpsus can be! I guess liquid fertilizer is much quicker than pellet fertilizer. Btw, Thank you for still going even when reporting failed. I feel less alone. 😅😅
Oh ya....I show it all on this channel....good or bad.
Scindapsus is probably my favourite genus. I've got an Exotica, Treubii Moonlight, Treubii Dark Form, Argyraeus, Jade Satin, Tattoo, Silver Cloud and Snakeskin. The Jade Satin has been topping my wishlist plant list for an age, but is a nightmare to get hold of in the UK. I've only been able to get hold of a couple of 2 leaf cuttings which I'm having to keep growing out, chopping and propping as I can't just buy a full plant 🙄
The Exotica and Treubii Dark Form are definitely my favourite, with the Exotica having the edge because of it being such a bargain and a fab growth rate
That is amazing Anna! I agree with the exotica and for me it's the large leaves.
I wasn’t attracted to this plant but 6 years ago my daughter picked out one & it grew on me! Now I have a few different varieties & I’m so happy with them! Propagating pothos is much easier. I also forgot about some propagations 🤦🏻♀️
Then the last one I bought from a big box store it had no roots! I wondered why the leaves looked like it needed water! I bought it like that! I put it in a self watering pot so I could watch the water & it’s much better now
Typically the big box plants don't have the best root system. It is the same with plant stores too. I once bought (2) Silver Ladies, went to repot them in a more suitable soil and found almost NO roots. Needless to say I lost them and haven't tried them anymore
Pothos and scindapsus are such gorgeous plants.
That is pretty crazy some of yours didn't have roots. Were you able to save them?
@@EverythingPlants I was actually able to save 1 Silver Lady. She's a year or more old and still in a tiny pot. Gave up on the Argerious
@@diannenaworensky6698 isn’t that the worst! I was so mad but I’ve learned I really have to inspect the hole plant including roots so I know I actually have a plant 🪴 not just cuttings
@@EverythingPlants yes so far it’s taken & looks way better! I wish I would have looked to see if it was an established plant! It has beautiful leaves & I guess it looked so good I would have never thought there wouldn’t be any roots 🤷🏻♀️
I love your videos, so real, the same things happen to me! You are definitely one of my favorite plant UA-camrs, and I watch a lot of them. I think I remember that, in one of your past videos, you water rooted one of your scindapsus with a golden pothos, and it rooted quicker. You had a control group without, as well. I have done the same, with my scindapsus argyraeus, (which is notoriously slow to soil root, in my experience) and I found that to be true. Have you given up on that technique?
Hey Tina! No, I still add pothos into my water props for sure. I am so glad it has worked for you. I am actually sitting here trying to come up with some ideas for more pothos experiments.
@@EverythingPlants, I read about the invasive nature of golden pothos in Florida, and how they grow huge, fenestrated leaves as they climb up trees and choke the life out of them. I considered growing some cuttings up a moss pole to see how big the leaves would grow as a houseplant. I have seen it done with other varieties, like Cebu Blue, but never with the golden. I don't know if I have the patience or if I would even be successful; I am not the Sydney Plant Guy!
I had all 3 but ended up killing the trevei when I replanted it. I was not successful in propagating it. I'm going to try the perlite.
Lol 😂 it is so funny and made me feel so much better about my total failure. 😂
Happy to help lol
I had the same experience with my Exotica once. I lost a few leaves but it finally recovered. Lol, I forgot about that until I saw this video. 😅
Better go check on it haha
@@EverythingPlants Oh it recovered finally. It is better off when I leave it alone. I learned to wait for the curled leaves
Hi there! I’m hoping you could help me, I’m considering repotting my scindapsus exotica. I noticed some roots popping out of the top of the plant and wanted your help when I do this. What kind of soil should I use? Will tropical soil work or should I make my own? Please help lol. I really don’t want to kill my plant. I also saw that you’re supposed to keep the plant in its original soil along with the new soil when you plant it but I am a beginner with plants lol.
I just got a treubii moonlight last week, one of the full ones from Costa farms for only $10 because the ceramic pot was broken 🙂
Lucky you…I’ve been looking and the plants are priced too high and I don’t even like the choice of pot and hanger I’d rather just buy the plant in a nursery pot
This is probably one of my favorite clips from you! Thank you for being authentic and thank you for the big laugh I had watching your face! It’s priceless!
I have a large collection of a variety of these plants and just recently purchased my first jade. I’ll definitely be careful when it’s time to repot it.
I have a question: Were the leaves of your jade wet in this clip? I’m under the impression the leaves do not like to get wet.
Thanks again for this great video clip!
Thanks ildiko Jones. I am happy to say the plant and cuttings are doing just fine. Now for your question....I spray down my plant leaves all the time and I've never had an issue. Is that what you mean?
@@EverythingPlants
Yes, that was my question. I’ve read and heard many say that scindapsus plants don’t like water to touch their leaves (which made no sense to me because in nature I’m sure they do, but what do I know? 😆) and some even recommend to bottom water them. Anyway, thank you for your response. I’ll be less worried now about getting them wet.
PS
I heard myself when you said: “I can’t believe I did that.” I’m still laughing about it.
@@EverythingPlants It just dawned on me that I had not acknowledged
@@EverythingPlants It just dawned on me that I had not acknowledged your good news about you beautiful jade scindapsus doing well. I’m very pleased!
@@ildikojones7073 thanks for responding!!! I know in a plants natural setting it usually has better air flow then in our homes. People always say we'll they get wet outside, but that is the difference between the two environments. Good airflow is key!
Suzette sent me some cuttings some well rooted. The Mexicanum had a nice root ball on it. When I went to pot it up the whole root ball fell off. Back to bare stem. I was able to reroot it. All is good now. In this case I think the shipping was pretty ruff on several plants in the box as the box arrived like it had been kicked all the way across the country to me. Smashed to smithereens. I only have a couple scindaptus. Loce them but did fine the Silver Satin was a real bogar to repot. I had to totally start over. It survived but now I am terrified to repot it. I did put it into a larger pot it can live in for a very long time. Not usually the best way. So far so good.
I haven't had a struggle lime this one in quite awhile. Is that what happened to you? Like individual stems came loose?
@@EverythingPlants A friend gave me cuttings from her scindaptus Silver Ann.The leves wereabout the size of my thumbnail. Took me months to root them. All seemed to be going well and I wanted to trellis but putting a trellis on a 4 inch pot was about impossible. I up potted my cuttings. I think there were 4. and for months they stuggled. Finally I saw roots coming out the bottom of the 5 inch pot I had put it in. Upped it all in one lump like you did and within days I had curled up leaves. I new if I did not take action right away I was going to lose everything. By then I had 6 vines and the leaves were getting larger. I had lots of bare stems where leaves fell off. I ended up chopping all the bare stems and I think I did put them in perlite to roo.t On a heat mat. I let the roots get really long then potted and this time I put all in a half to 3/4 size gallon jug. It has been like this now for a few months so I am hoping I revived the whole thing. I would think it can live in this jug pot for several years and when it does come time for a repot I might just slit down the sides. Especially after seeing what happened to you and also what happened to my Mexicanum.
L💚VE THE EX💚TICA... HE'S Been Such A TR💚💚PER For ME!!! He's In A 8 Inch Pot And I Recently Took Cuttings From His Backside Because He's Placed Up Against A Wall. I Also Have Found That Even When HE Has Been Well- Watered HE Will Keep His Leaves Curled In A Hot Dry Room!!! I Detached His Pot Saucer And Filled It With Moistened Pebbles AND I'm L👀KING At Some Open LUSH-L💚💚KING LEAVES N💚W!!! After L💚💚KING At Your Jade I'm Off To Etsy... Because I BELIEVE I NEED One!!!
Interesting....I didn't know heat would cause that as well. Makes sense though
My scadapsis leaves are curling ? Using my water meter I only water when dry now I know to drench it in between watering...thank you
Good luck Gloriana!
Hi 😊I want to put mine in leca. Is it ok? And how can I clean the egzotica and silver ann leaf?
😭 it’s such a nice jade too
It will recover and grow again haha
💚💚
Thanks Kendra!
Maybe those jade satin cuttings are jumping out of the pot because they want to be repotted and planked, like a slow motion pothos. If you have the patience, a single climbing treubii in between two jade satin vines could be an amazing combination. The contrast would highlight the treubii subtlety quite well.
This is an amazing idea!!!! I will plank one of these cuttings
Hi. I'm having issues with my treubii. The leaves are curling, but I wet them a couple of days ago. What else could be the issue?? Please help. I don't want the plant to stay curly .
Plant care can get frustrating.😢
Ya, but we adapt and overcome! Haha
I just pruned my exotica a week ago for the same reason-long runners without leaves. Think I will change it from water to perlite. I have never done perlite propagating so I guess it's about time.
I do have a bunch of perlite prop box videos if you are interested!
@@EverythingPlants thanks for the reminder. I will take a look.
Nancy, I was just telling Jeff that I take those long runners and put them in a TALL Wendy's cup and filled with perlite. Water well and mist them. I have also put them in a soil mixture with alot of perlite and put them under a dome. I think that I'm up to 6 props this year. They make beautiful baskets 🪴♥️🪴
@@diannenaworensky6698 thanks for the tips.
@@nancylee1883 My pleasure, I hope it all works out for you !!! 🪴♥️🪴
Hello 👋With your scindapsis in the self watering container, do you let the reservoir go dry for a while before refilling since they like to be bone dry before watering?
Whenever I fill up the wallygrow planter it soaks it up fast and I obviously don't refill it until it dries out again
I'm curious how your beneficial insect journy is going. I found out that my cucumber plants have been struggling with thrips all summer long and I've been seeing them all over all of my 30+ plants. I just dont have the time to spray my plants regularly enough for pesticides or soap/neem oil mixes. How did the insects work out for ya?
Hey! I have seen some slight damage on a few plants and I will definitely be ordering another batch probably this week. When I had the beneficial mites I think I took care of the issue because I havent seen any pests or damage in months....until now.
@@EverythingPlants oh fantastic, thank you for the reply!😍
Where did you get your materials for your plant shower?
The bin from home Depot and the walls are foam board from the dollar store haha
My plant is dying it will be compost tomorrow
HELP! My scindapsus has a weird leaf problem
My scindapsus is geting some werid brown spots on the older leafs🤨
They are not like ‘normale‘ brown spots. The color rangers from greyish brown to olive and the pattern seems sort of scaly. The leafs feels normale. The brown spots are not mushy or flaky.
There are no visible pets and it is not a root problem. I water it when the leafs starts to curl up. The plant is in a terractta pot with will draining soli. It receives bright indircet ligth and is producing new growth like nobody’s business.
Have any of you seen this before? Cuz I sure don’t understand it😵💫
Send me a picture to Instagram if you have an account and I can take a look for you
How do you keep such a straight face😮😅🫢😂
I was raging on the inside haha
Sorry, but I love the REAL about you. You are a human plant person
Ya, stuff like this happens all the time to everyone. You just adapt and overcome. I'll have to check on the ones that lost the roots
Have you thought about making videos with just KEY points to know about an individual plant? It's hard to watch more than one because the videos are a bit long. Please consider 🙏
I recently did one about snake plants
Thank you for the quick response, yes I just watched that today and you should do more like that- so I can watch MORE of your knowledgeable videos.
The exotica is diffinately not low light in any way.If you are waiting for the leaves to curl before watering you are stressing the plant,get a moisture meter,water when on 2.Bad advice in this video.
I am not waiting for the leaves to curl.....and these can tolerate a wide range of light. And base your watering off those different lighting conditions.
I don't understand why you continue to watch if you clearly don't like the videos?!?!
I don’t think you broke those stems while you were repotting. They both looked like they were yellow at the end, so I think they must have been severed before.
