I saw you problem solve your hurt over not having good reviews on certain videos. You can do 10 minute videos when appropriate then do your hour videos when you need more in-depth content. I really love your project video’s and your adventure videos. Sometimes I only have 10 minutes to spend on plant content and have to skip over the longer videos but always come back to see the longer ones. What you are doing with your channel is fun, intelligent and enlightening. You have a fan here !
Thank you :) and understand not everybody has the time to watch the long videos but most people seem to prefer them actually which was a surprise to me :)
@@sydneyplantguy Why can't people just watch longer ones in sections over several days if they don't have time all at once, instead of complaining? No one is forced to view anything! Sheesh!! I find you both entertaining and informative and am glad to have you spend the time making these. Thank you from Seattle, Washington.
@@sydneyplantguyIt is fun to watch long videos, and shorter videos, but what really matters the most is the beauty of your plants. I don’t know about other people, but I’m happy to rewatch the same videos over and over again, just to see the beauty. It’s like looking at art. Once isn’t enough, when viewing the works of Michelangelo, or DaVinci. It takes time to create such high quality, which, in my opinion, is why quality is better than quantity. In this case, the quality is largely in the beauty of your plants. And I think even Michelangelo and DaVinci would be absolutely in awe of what you have been able to grow. Thank you for sharing their beauty with us.
@@lindaschad9734I believe Kathrynrobinson670 is offering a constructive suggestion rather than complaining. I also share Kathrynrobinson670's viewpoint. Initially, I started following @sydneyplantguy, but over time, his videos became too lengthy for me, with unnecessary conversations lacking valuable information. Additionally, I found your response to be somewhat abrupt but every person is different and acts according to their values. I think that the @sydneyplantguy has extensive knowledge about plants that have actually been very helpful to me. He's very nice, but he tends to talk too much and it can get a bit boring, especially in this fast-paced life. Why do you think TikToks have been so successful these days? People are looking for things that are novel, interesting, and appealing, but also concise and to the point. Have a good one!
Also, you mentioned that everything would be dead if you left them for 2-3 weeks. If you're ever out of town, how do you maintain them? The more plants I get, the more worried I am when I have to travel 🫠
I love having on other plant people working on their stuff while I work on my own plant chores/cleaning around the apartment, just the chatting and pretty plants on the tv as i go
I truly appreciate the work you took into making this really long video; this is the perfect motivation I needed to get through all the plant chores I've been putting off!
Came here to say this is my first UA-cam video from you I'm watching and I'm so sorry you feel your efforts weren't appreciated in some of your previous videos. I'll be binge watching you today! 🎉🎉🎉
I find your videos to be very therapeutic for me. In general I prefer short videos, but concerning plant-related ones, I definitly enjoy longer videos where i do learn tips and tricks, but also relax, and unwine at the end of the day. So💯🔫
Hey Jan, are you planning to do a tour with AJ again soon? Loving the chemistry you two have and looking around in her shop always providesus with such great ideas, new plants etc. The botanic garden tours are also great by the way 😊
Wow. This program has got me so interested in plants I can't go shopping without bringing home plants.I love your problem solving with plants and of course the names of plants and where we can find them. You are fun to watch and you have a fan here.
I love how you scoop your cat up like a little babe😂❤ it's so sweet! Thank you for taking us along on the plant chores. I also need to do mine so thanks for motivating me and others! Cheers!
I always love when you have "stay cations," and you can focus on things you have been wanting to get done for a while. I love and appreciate your view and outlook on plant care and maintenance. They are living organisms that do require our care for their health and potential.
Hey Jan, I didn't see the flowers video on my subscriptions which is the only reason I haven't watched it yet, but I'm very excited to! I love all of your content. It doesnt matter what it is, I'll always watch it. Several reasons - Your personality is lovely, you're down to earth and speak the truth. You're very knowledgeable about whatever your content is based on and I learn from you in every video, and just because I love supporting my favourite creators by watching everything! Please continue to make the different styles of content, at least know that I'll watch and love it! I'm hoping the issue with that having a low view count was the same as mine, it simply didn't come up in my alogrythm which is rather annoying.
Oh, I have enjoyed this video! Your plant collection is pure eye candy. And I appreciate the time you spent on taking us through your processes and addressing the most important points of plant parenting: the effort, consistency, and research IS up to YOU. I'm excited to go watch your botanical tour. Chances are pretty good that I won't ever be able to go in person, so I am tickled to hear you did this for us. Thank you!
I personally really like seeing whats happening with ur plants just as much as informational videos. Growth updates on plants, showing new things you have picked up, or what you're propping currently would be content i'd be excited to watch. Even just going through and talking more about individual plants and how u find they grow compared to others would be super interesting. On the same note i'd love to see ur methods with fertiliser and pest control even just as casual content vs a more expertise kind that you usually do on moss poles etc
Just wanted to say that the video about the botanical gardens was one of my favourite. Seeing the plants that I attempt to groom indoor, in their natural environment, reaching their full potential, was so interesting to me. The size a ficus could reach blew my mind and made me look at my ones in a different light. You are dedicated, hard working and passionate about the content you put out and that shines through in your work, don’t be disheartened.
Jan you can't please all the people all the time. I throughly enjoyed all the botanical videos. I have grown perennials and a few annuals for decades. I have only expanded my houseplant collection since my boys have married and moved out. I need something to take care of 😉💚🐈 but I do have a new kitten too!
It's my Friday, and when this video popped up, i was like, yay! I love a long video. I'm just sitting here watching your content having a wine and planning what i need to do to look after my 100+ plants tomorrow. Perfect beginning to my days off. Thankyou
Perfect timing! Going into fall/winter here in Oregon and I am suffering from plant burn out. I always watch the long videos once, and then listen a second time while I do my own plant chores. Your videos are always like a team motivation! I also appreciate all the hard work you put into your content. It needs to be productive and fun for you also. I wouldn't worry about low views on tours..you looked like you were having fun and we enjoyed it. Thank you! ❤💦🪴🌿
I like to watch you, as I do all the channels I follow, for your experience with growing plants and the goals, outcomes and challenges you encounter throughout your journey. I love seeing my channels as themselves, whether you are doing plant research or just enjoying your time with your plants. I love to hear about the process that goes along with growing plants and just being yourself and enjoying telling stories to your followers about why you do what you do with your plants. I also enjoy seeing your field trips and telling us about what you’re passionate about and how you take that passion and put into your own hobby. I will be the first person to turn off an entire video of plant shopping! Ya know a quick in and out of a garden center or whatever, is way different than a complete shopping video, who cares! If it is an event that’s great and huge info for me! I’m just basically trying to say I watch you faithfully because I truly enjoy watching you and your hobby! Thanks for being you!! Ginger
I really enjoy your long format like this one because I pick up more information as you do your chores. It was fun to watch you clean up your space and go through your plants. I admire your systematic approach. 🔫 😄
I like your longer videos and I’ve learned a lot from each one, whether it’s about your houseplants/aroids or about the wonderful botanical gardens you have in Sydney and the horticulturalists so knowledgeable about the plants they care for. Your shorts are fun, but I actually like the longer videos with content. You inspired me to start making moss poles after watching you last December, and I’m so glad you got me started. But equally I’ve enjoyed your visits to AJ’s, the botanic gardens, and garden shows & nurseries, and all the diverse interesting sites & information from those videos. Surely if people don’t want to watch more than 10-15 minutes at a time, they can stop and return to watch them in 2 or 3 sittings. Keep doing whichever YOU LOVE to do. 🍃😊🔫🔫🔫
In regards to the plant that is 18 minutes into this video. You mentioned that it hasn't grown much. You have said that the moss pole is part of the pot. So, repot the moss pole by snipping the zip ties on the back and add another strip of the fencing, zip them together and stuff it with more moss. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing all your work. It has inspired me very much.
All your videos are fantastic! I am one of the people who have not watched your videos on visitors to the botanical gardens, in my opinion the reason is simple, your phrasing, your experience, your energy as well as your personality mean that you are obviously the main interest of this channel. Please, don't change anything, I commit to looking at these videos because i like your work. ;)
Hehe fair enough. Suppose I don't want this channel to be just about ME, I want it to be about PLANTS & there are soooo many plants out there I have no idea about so I went & got some help hehe :) Thank you :)
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!! don’t be sadden! No matter how long or short ur videos are, they are so much enjoyable!!!! And when I search for any plant help, I go to your channel first!!!! (By the way I love ur long videos because I watch them when I work on my plants :) plus ur voice and looks is a plus 😅
I love all your videos short and long! I will watch either ones! I myself like the longer ones cuz I listen to it at work thru my ear buds or when I’m repotting/doing my plant chores! You have taught me a lot and I appreciate that! So do you boo! I’m here for it!😊
Jan the level of care you give your plants reflects on how stunning they are, I just stare in awe. Do you have a video where you mix your fertilizer? That last plant with the red flower 🌺 soooo beautiful!
Appreciate all your videos. Regarding the ones that are a little different in topic not performing as well, if you’re genuinely interested, that’s what matters. Chances are those videos will gain traction over time with a slightly different audience and it’s likely a good percentage of those people may end up becoming interested in your “regular” content. This is actually a good strategy to expand your audience.
I find your content so inspiring and informative. And love the longer videos. I am relatively new to your channel, and I’m loving watching your videos, from when you go to support your friend’s garden and home plant projects. To your own maintenance series, and more. Continue doing what inspires you as that’s what it’s about at the end of the day. You have to love and enjoy what you do. Sorry that was long winded. Keep up the good work. I’m going through all your videos in my own pace.
Super chill and fun, fun, fun. I had a lot of plant care to do today. Watching helps me stay motivated and finish it all, and it's always interesting and fun to me to see how others handle their collection. I'm always looking to learn more. I have a pretty large collection, including lots of moss poles. We share a lot of the same plants. So it was fun to do our plant care together. 😉 I do enjoy the longer videos. And I totally agree with your outlook on plants. Your plants are a reflection of the effort and care you give them. Cleaning them is super important, plus it's fun to me lol. Thanks for reading.🔫🔫❤️🪴
Also, I love the longer videos, not a big TV watcher so I enjoy sitting down in the evening to a lengthy video. But honestly, I watch all of them, they all have great content.
I dont want to miss your Tours outside, and i like your long videos . I learn more in your videos, then in others. Please keep it up!!! You are a great plantgrower!!! Greetings from Germany!
There was so much I liked about this video besides being informative and entertaining but you are a good teacher. Really appreciated the effort you put in sharing and making the videos. I don't mind that it's over an hour long, I paused where I left off and get into it when I get back on. Keep up the good work! You're awesome.
I really enjoy your house plants, I've only gotten into them just this past year, I have always loved gardening, and native plants , I'm in bluegrass area of Kentucky, United States so I am thrilled to see what grows in your neck of the woods, I look for your downloads every day for new ones, keep up what you are doing.
I think it is great that you have an opertunity to work with a botanical garden. if you can film that journey i would love to watch that. I second what other people are saying shorts are just as good as longer videos i think because you have so much knowledge to share. Your plants are gorgeous and the amount of effort you but in is admrable. I wish you all the best in whatever you choose to do :)
I have just got into house plants, and just discovered your site,really enjoy learning how to look after and do the best for my plants 🌱,so a big thank you for sharing your knowledge,very grateful.😊
We have a perfect situation then, because I am more to houseplants and my partner is crazy about outdoor, native plants of all continents and loves yours botanic garden visits. So we both have a lot of pleasure watching your videos. Thank you for all your work and efforts to make unique, informative contents.🔫
I love listening to plant content while I’m working on my plants and whatever else around the house. The videos are awesome because there are visual references when I want them but I do tend to put off watching the videos that require more of my focus until I have time to “watch” the video. Unfortunately, I don’t always remember to go back and watch them. And then there’s the other issue that some experiences are better in person. It’s like going to the zoo and taking a lot of great pictures. No matter how great the pictures are, most people looking at the pictures would rather just go to the zoo themselves. But videos where plants we love growing indoors, are growing in nature or conservatories… it would be great to hear takeaways from the visits and how they inform what choices you plan to make next. Love the reference to feeling like you’re hanging out with a plant friend, plant friend videos are my favorite.
Thank you :) i think the tours have definitely shaped by journey a lot :) I have added many plants to the garden because I saw them at the botanic gardens in the first place :) It's all about learning together :)
Thank God you took a break ! I was getting exhausted just watching you 🙂 But you are much younger (and probably healthier too) than what I am. I think I only have around 100 plants and have a hard time keep up with everything !
I hope you keep up with everything you do. It is helpful and knowledgeable to show off the botanical gardens. I find I learn more. Either way if you don’t feel I understand. I enjoy your channel and thank you so much for sharing.
Hey Jan You should honestly film what makes you happy. it's your channel, not everyones gonna like each video. Oh well, there loss i enjoy your videos as well as many others. You flew through all the gardening, by the way. Love your content and look forward to the next one ❤
Great video Jan! I enjoy all your videos. We are fortunate to have you give us all that variety of content for free. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful plants & their maintenance. 🔫
I appreciate hanging out with you, Jan! Love all of your content and I’m enjoying the different types you are creating as your journey with plants grows🪴🌵🌳🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
🔫This was a fun video! I learned quite a lot from watching you take care of your plants, gives me some ideas to make my workflow more efficient for my plant care. Thanks!
You could always do more of a casual vlogging style with ur trip videos, so u can enjoy them but also show a few things here and there. That way u feel the effort is worthwhile for u energy.
Your botanical trips are on my to-do list. We've had insanely warm weather here in Iowa this Fall, so I've had extra time to rush through some late projects. Always appreciate your huge effort to bring us all this content! Cheers from the States. 🔫
🔫💧It's impossible to please all the people with all the content! As a horticulturist who's worked at botanic gardens, I'm definitely interested in the various content. And as an American, I'm fascinated by Aussie flora. Lived there for 6 months and I was in awe the entire time. I wish I could grow Proteas and Grevillias here in Virginia. Too cold in winter and too humid in the summer! Anyway, Ich liebe deine content! 😂💚
Loved this video, perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday morning watching it. My 7 year old daughter joined in to, chatting along with you. She was very glad you didnt divide the big Alocasia.😂
I watch and subscribe to creators that I feel a connection with and enjoy the way the video is edited. Just because there are videos out there explaining certain plant care doesn’t mean I will watch it. Some plant UA-camrs can be very annoying (immature or giggly…), editing is crap, no actual knowledge or just not relevant. You should do the videos you want as I’m a happy subscriber and any advice is appreciated. Plus I’m a fellow Aussie too! ❤
what is amazing about your moss pole is that whenever i replant my moss pole into new pot, ill have to wait for the plant to fully grown it own roots system in the pot for me to able to lift the plant while holding the pole. but yours amazingly can be lifted right after repot. you see im quite jealous of that. however, i really like all of your plant and i hope mine will grow as big as yours too
I always enjoy your longer videos. Going on your walks, visiting botanical gardens going plant chopping with AJ. I have the feeling that sometimes some videos don’t show up in my feed. I noticed I missed 2 of your botanical garden videos. So I’m going to watch them now!
You really like to be neat..with all your hard work you're still cleaning up, I love seeing that since I love to see things clean n neat..even my plants I run to cut off its yellow leaf or with the hand vacuum to clean between their pots...love love this great video..didn't realize you had a carnivores nepenthes plant too bc you never showed it until you was putting it in new pot with hooks today...you're the plant king.
OK… so, I’d like to say that your videos are better than anything on Netflix… I’ve been watching your videos for many months and I’ve learned a ton plus been entertained… I mean, I’ve researched a lot about plants and no one has ever explained things the way you do… so thank you. Also, thank you for cleaning the space when you had the plants outside. I might have too strong of a reaction when people move stuff then don’t clean, but I find it mildly horrifying… so yeah… seeing you break out the vacuum? Hell yeah. Thanks for your videos. Love them all:)
I love your videos! I just found your channel a few months ago and really appreciate all the magnificent effort you put into your plants. If offers a realistic glimpse into how much actually goes into taking care of tropical varieties. I've learned so much from your videos and am constantly inspired to try new things and definitely challenged to step outside of my comfort zone and take calculated risks that turn into extremely rewarding results. You've helped me level my skills and have cultivated my creative fortitude with all of the possibilities!! My plants stopped suffering when I began to apply some of the techniques and approaches you share in your videos. I live in a very small apartment but have been inspired to lean into this challenge and create an environment where my interests and lifestyles will thrive! I can't thank you enough for inspiring an enthusiast for life!!
Your videos inspire me to have some plants again. Now I have a Monstera again, some Epipremnum and Philodendron. I love them! Thank you for your content ❤
Hello from erie , Illinois, U s a. I loved your terror videos. I am in a wheelchair and I do not get out to nurseries very often. I do not have as many plants as you do but i'm catching up Fast. I learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work and god bless.
Finally, someone who mentioned consistency 👏👏 Consistency is key in all aspects of plant care. I loved this long video, so thank you for taking the time to share with us. 🔫 Big cuddles to Brad 🤗
I have been pondering why I haven't watched all your botanical garden tours, and I think it is because I need to be able to dedicate time to watch, and not do anything else while watching. Most of the time I am listening to your videos, and glancing at the screen from time to time while I do other things like plant chores, cooking or knitting. To appreciate the botanical garden tours, I can't be doing anything else, so I haven't made the time to just sit and watch two of them. I do appreciate the time and effort you have put into the tours, and I will watch them, but it will be more of a movie night for me.
That makes sense :) they are definitely a little more 'fast paced' compared to a video where I just sit down for a while :) oh well, hope they won't disappoint in the end hehe :)
I enjoyed the tour! I didn't get around to watching it until yesterday and I really liked seeing what that company did with the space given the various challenges. Personally, I come to your channel to learn and I didn't realize the tour also detailed educational content. Next time I'll know better! I hope you do more. Don't get discouraged!
i really enjoy when you talk, about plants or other stuff. This casual talk I really love it, like a "podcast" hahah And OF COURSE, share your knowledge and experiencie growing indoor plants😍
Hi Jan! I love how you explain what you are doing or refer us to a previous video for more information. Very helpful! Love all your videos, visiting botanical gardens, walks around Sydney included. I hope Tim is thrilled with his new plants 😊 I’m interested in any “shorts” you wish to produce and especially a collaboration with some experts on fertiliser and pests.
Jan keep doing videos just as you are know one has to watch long videos. Some people aren’t happy unless they are complaining about something. I watch in the evening when I’m done for the day I truly enjoy every minute of your videos long or short. The proof is in the pudding you have more fans than Debbie downers as people in the US say 😊
Hello, I don't know if you will be able to read my message, I discovered your channel on a UA-camr's recommendation because I follow several plant channels, I'm from Brazil and I also grow some tropical plants, I love taking care of my plants and my garden, I'm really enjoying your channel and I congratulate you on the dedication you have to your garden, thank you for sharing.
Great video. I loved your chatter and real time commentary😊 I laughed when you said 'Oh,that was dumb' when you opened the greenhouse. Oh,by the way ,very imformative! Thanks ❤
Watching you talk about your botanical gardening videos. Who would have thought having a UA-cam channel was so much like dating! I love the botanical tours. Most likely I will never get to Australia. So you are giving me a chance to enjoy it through your medium. However, I will most likely watch anything planty you post because I like your personality. I guess I share your interests!
Thank you Sue :) that was exactly my intention behind them. I want to show our beautiful flora over here to people who might never be able to come here themselves :)
Love all your work!!! You're a breath of fresh air!!! When is your Mum arriving? You could do some more content with AJ. Love seeing her greenhouse and your fun banter together and adventures. Also you could do a story on Tims move and gatden progress. The long videos are great, i just watch in stages if i dont have time all at once, and it gives me something positive to look forward to. Havent seen Brad in the latest video? Love yooouuu. 🌿🐈😘
Thank you :) Brad was sleeping letting me do all the work :D yes will definitely film a little garden makeover at tims place when we find the time :) my mum will be here in feb :)
I personally loved the tour and will definitely watch more. I think you should stick with it as it's new and sometimes things take a few goes to kick off. Kind of like a band bringing out a new style of song.. maybe if you go and do a few tours without the camera just for you but take notes on how you would like a video tour to look.. You are good with visions that's for sure. Planning and forethought would have improved the last one.. No critisim at all as I love learning alongside you.. Just a thought. Keep doing what you love, you rock! 🪴🔫
I often overlook longer videos just due to time constraints. I like to sit and have a coffee and watch short videos on my breaks. Generally I like 20-30 minute videos. I enjoy the longer ones on my days off.
I love all your videos! I think the trips in the gardens are really interesting it mixes things up a lil and i just love learning more about the world of plants! ❤Its so cool seeing how things grow in Australia compared to where I live in Canada too. I think showing people this side of plants just brings an appreciation for them and our own houseplants
🔫🔫🔫 busy day! Spring has sprung! I love the botanical garden tours and appreciate the time and effort you put in. Also like the "back to basics" idea. Thank you 😊
Don't worrie Yan I love the tour of your botanical gardens to know the natives plants of Australia ❤❤❤ sometimes you need to do something deferent ...😊😊😊 By the way I love the effort of repotting and the strangle is real and funny ❤❤❤ 😅😂 take care Yan !!! Happy planting 🌺🌿😊❤️
I understand your wondering about creating shorter films. At the very beginning, when I started watching you, I started with shorter videos. I had to like you first and see if you didn't bore me to death, which often happens to me 😂 It was only as my liking for you grew that I started watching all the videos. Now 1:41:34 passed in a moment, but I certainly wouldn't start my journey with you with a video of this length. I don't give a damn and can watch you for 10 hours, but I'm sure many people will prefer these shorter videos, so I personally support the idea!😎
I love when you say “Happy Days!” 😁. We are going into winter and I just hate it. When we fall back up in the North USA, we lose daylight and it makes me so grumpy!!!
I did watch the other video with you at the botanical gardens on my other account, but I went and liked it with this account as well. But I will let it play through while I am getting ready for work and rewatch it again! Let's see if we can get those views up cause I actually did enjoy it! Esp cause here in New England, Massachusetts, I feel like our plants and trees are so mundane. But those trees and plants were so cool looking! Thanks 😊
I saw you problem solve your hurt over not having good reviews on certain videos. You can do 10 minute videos when appropriate then do your hour videos when you need more in-depth content.

Guess someone needs to solve the dilemma of the moss is the poles wearing out. There has to be something better than the chop

This was so fun! The casual repot and gossip sesh is a solid format, and we got to see so many of your plants along the way 💥❤
Also, you mentioned that everything would be dead if you left them for 2-3 weeks. If you're ever out of town, how do you maintain them? The more plants I get, the more worried I am when I have to travel 🫠
I have friends house sit , my baby cat needs a friend anyway :)

I for one really enjoy your videos the longer ones I watch while doing home chores. Your efforts are appreciated. New subscriber.
Thank you :)
Your plants are amazing well jealous but also love your personality ❤
Thank you so much :)
I enjoy everything plants, indoor, outdoor, flowers, trees, whatever you wanna show. You've got a fan regardless 🎉

Hey Jan, are you planning to do a tour with AJ again soon? Loving the chemistry you two have and looking around in her shop always providesus with such great ideas, new plants etc. The botanic garden tours are also great by the way 😊
Hey :) thank you !! Yes I have to go back to AJs soon. We've both been really busy with other projects so it just didn't work out recently :)
Wow. This program has got me so interested in plants I can't go shopping without bringing home plants.I love your problem solving with plants and of course the names of plants and where we can find them. You are fun to watch and you have a fan here.
Thank you:)
I love how you scoop your cat up like a little babe😂❤ it's so sweet! Thank you for taking us along on the plant chores. I also need to do mine so thanks for motivating me and others! Cheers!
We;; he is a little baby :) thank you !! Happy growing
I always love when you have "stay cations," and you can focus on things you have been wanting to get done for a while.
I love and appreciate your view and outlook on plant care and maintenance. They are living organisms that do require our care for their health and potential.

Hey Jan,
I didn't see the flowers video on my subscriptions which is the only reason I haven't watched it yet, but I'm very excited to!
I love all of your content. It doesnt matter what it is, I'll always watch it. Several reasons - Your personality is lovely, you're down to earth and speak the truth. You're very knowledgeable about whatever your content is based on and I learn from you in every video, and just because I love supporting my favourite creators by watching everything!
Please continue to make the different styles of content, at least know that I'll watch and love it!
I'm hoping the issue with that having a low view count was the same as mine, it simply didn't come up in my alogrythm which is rather annoying.
Thank you so much for your nice words :) i really appreciate it :))
Oh, I have enjoyed this video! Your plant collection is pure eye candy. And I appreciate the time you spent on taking us through your processes and addressing the most important points of plant parenting: the effort, consistency, and research IS up to YOU. I'm excited to go watch your botanical tour. Chances are pretty good that I won't ever be able to go in person, so I am tickled to hear you did this for us. Thank you!
Thank you :)
I think you should keep doing what you are doing no matter what people say Amen
LOVE this kind of videoes, thank you so much! 🙌 And lucky Tim, what a nice gift! He deserve it!
Thank you :) just dropped it off at his place yesterday … it looked so good :)
Watching your long videos is my favorite thing to do while doing chores and plant things!
love your commentary as u report the plants so diligently.
I personally really like seeing whats happening with ur plants just as much as informational videos. Growth updates on plants, showing new things you have picked up, or what you're propping currently would be content i'd be excited to watch. Even just going through and talking more about individual plants and how u find they grow compared to others would be super interesting. On the same note i'd love to see ur methods with fertiliser and pest control even just as casual content vs a more expertise kind that you usually do on moss poles etc
Thank you :) some good ideas :)
My favourite videos to sit and do plant work to 🥰
Love this. You are a true expert..and naturally so so funny...it's a gift. Thank you. Xx
Thank you :))
Just wanted to say that the video about the botanical gardens was one of my favourite. Seeing the plants that I attempt to groom indoor, in their natural environment, reaching their full potential, was so interesting to me. The size a ficus could reach blew my mind and made me look at my ones in a different light. You are dedicated, hard working and passionate about the content you put out and that shines through in your work, don’t be disheartened.
Jan you can't please all the people all the time. I throughly enjoyed all the botanical videos. I have grown perennials and a few annuals for decades. I have only expanded my houseplant collection since my boys have married and moved out. I need something to take care of 😉💚🐈 but I do have a new kitten too!
So true :) thank you ! and enjoy the new kitten!! it's the best time
It's my Friday, and when this video popped up, i was like, yay! I love a long video. I'm just sitting here watching your content having a wine and planning what i need to do to look after my 100+ plants tomorrow. Perfect beginning to my days off. Thankyou
That’s great :) we can do plant maintenance together :) happy growing :) and enjoy your wine :)
🔫
Perfect timing! Going into fall/winter here in Oregon and I am suffering from plant burn out. I always watch the long videos once, and then listen a second time while I do my own plant chores. Your videos are always like a team motivation! I also appreciate all the hard work you put into your content. It needs to be productive and fun for you also. I wouldn't worry about low views on tours..you looked like you were having fun and we enjoyed it. Thank you! ❤💦🪴🌿
Thank you :)
I like to watch you, as I do all the channels I follow, for your experience with growing plants and the goals, outcomes and challenges you encounter throughout your journey. I love seeing my channels as themselves, whether you are doing plant research or just enjoying your time with your plants. I love to hear about the process that goes along with growing plants and just being yourself and enjoying telling stories to your followers about why you do what you do with your plants. I also enjoy seeing your field trips and telling us about what you’re passionate about and how you take that passion and put into your own hobby. I will be the first person to turn off an entire video of plant shopping! Ya know a quick in and out of a garden center or whatever, is way different than a complete shopping video, who cares! If it is an event that’s great and huge info for me! I’m just basically trying to say I watch you faithfully because I truly enjoy watching you and your hobby! Thanks for being you!!
Ginger
Thank you Ginger :) that’s so nice to hear :)
I really enjoy your long format like this one because I pick up more information as you do your chores. It was fun to watch you clean up your space and go through your plants. I admire your systematic approach. 🔫 😄
Thank you :)
I like your longer videos and I’ve learned a lot from each one, whether it’s about your houseplants/aroids or about the wonderful botanical gardens you have in Sydney and the horticulturalists so knowledgeable about the plants they care for. Your shorts are fun, but I actually like the longer videos with content. You inspired me to start making moss poles after watching you last December, and I’m so glad you got me started. But equally I’ve enjoyed your visits to AJ’s, the botanic gardens, and garden shows & nurseries, and all the diverse interesting sites & information from those videos.
Surely if people don’t want to watch more than 10-15 minutes at a time, they can stop and return to watch them in 2 or 3 sittings. Keep doing whichever YOU LOVE to do. 🍃😊🔫🔫🔫
Thank you :)
I LOVE THE TOUR VIDEO’s 🥺 but i also love these long chores video’s where you’re just talking ❤
Thank you :) suppose a healthy balance of variety is great for us all :)
In regards to the plant that is 18 minutes into this video. You mentioned that it hasn't grown much. You have said that the moss pole is part of the pot. So, repot the moss pole by snipping the zip ties on the back and add another strip of the fencing, zip them together and stuff it with more moss. Just a thought. Thanks for sharing all your work. It has inspired me very much.
All your videos are fantastic! I am one of the people who have not watched your videos on visitors to the botanical gardens, in my opinion the reason is simple, your phrasing, your experience, your energy as well as your personality mean that you are obviously the main interest of this channel. Please, don't change anything, I commit to looking at these videos because i like your work. ;)
Hehe fair enough. Suppose I don't want this channel to be just about ME, I want it to be about PLANTS & there are soooo many plants out there I have no idea about so I went & got some help hehe :) Thank you :)
I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!! don’t be sadden! No matter how long or short ur videos are, they are so much enjoyable!!!! And when I search for any plant help, I go to your channel first!!!! (By the way I love ur long videos because I watch them when I work on my plants :) plus ur voice and looks is a plus 😅
I love all your videos short and long! I will watch either ones! I myself like the longer ones cuz I listen to it at work thru my ear buds or when I’m repotting/doing my plant chores! You have taught me a lot and I appreciate that! So do you boo! I’m here for it!😊
Jan the level of care you give your plants reflects on how stunning they are, I just stare in awe. Do you have a video where you mix your fertilizer? That last plant with the red flower 🌺 soooo beautiful!
Thanks :) i definitely do somewhere but ultimately I just go off the recommendation on the bottle :)
Appreciate all your videos. Regarding the ones that are a little different in topic not performing as well, if you’re genuinely interested, that’s what matters. Chances are those videos will gain traction over time with a slightly different audience and it’s likely a good percentage of those people may end up becoming interested in your “regular” content. This is actually a good strategy to expand your audience.
I find your content so inspiring and informative. And love the longer videos. I am relatively new to your channel, and I’m loving watching your videos, from when you go to support your friend’s garden and home plant projects. To your own maintenance series, and more. Continue doing what inspires you as that’s what it’s about at the end of the day. You have to love and enjoy what you do. Sorry that was long winded. Keep up the good work. I’m going through all your videos in my own pace.
Thank you so much :)
And I just sat and watched almost 2 hours. Don't listen to the haters this is top tier content.
Super chill and fun, fun, fun. I had a lot of plant care to do today. Watching helps me stay motivated and finish it all, and it's always interesting and fun to me to see how others handle their collection. I'm always looking to learn more. I have a pretty large collection, including lots of moss poles. We share a lot of the same plants. So it was fun to do our plant care together. 😉 I do enjoy the longer videos. And I totally agree with your outlook on plants. Your plants are a reflection of the effort and care you give them. Cleaning them is super important, plus it's fun to me lol. Thanks for reading.🔫🔫❤️🪴
Thank you :) sounds like we’re very aligned hehe :) happy growing :)
Also, I love the longer videos, not a big TV watcher so I enjoy sitting down in the evening to a lengthy video. But honestly, I watch all of them, they all have great content.
I dont want to miss your Tours outside, and i like your long videos . I learn more in your videos, then in others. Please keep it up!!! You are a great plantgrower!!! Greetings from Germany!
Thank you :) i’ll definitely keep up the variety but probably focus more on indoor growing since that’s what the majority seems to like :)
There was so much I liked about this video besides being informative and entertaining but you are a good teacher. Really appreciated the effort you put in sharing and making the videos. I don't mind that it's over an hour long, I paused where I left off and get into it when I get back on. Keep up the good work! You're awesome.
Thanks :)
I'm binge watching your videos!! Even the long ones.. I even rewind them and listen to them while I'm doing house work😄 I can listen to you all day💜
Thank you:)
I really enjoy your house plants, I've only gotten into them just this past year, I have always loved gardening, and native plants , I'm in bluegrass area of Kentucky, United States so I am thrilled to see what grows in your neck of the woods, I look for your downloads every day for new ones, keep up what you are doing.
Thank you :)
I think it is great that you have an opertunity to work with a botanical garden. if you can film that journey i would love to watch that. I second what other people are saying shorts are just as good as longer videos i think because you have so much knowledge to share. Your plants are gorgeous and the amount of effort you but in is admrable.
I wish you all the best in whatever you choose to do :)
I have just got into house plants, and just discovered your site,really enjoy learning how to look after and do the best for my plants 🌱,so a big thank you for sharing your knowledge,very grateful.😊
Thank you :)
We have a perfect situation then, because I am more to houseplants and my partner is crazy about outdoor, native plants of all continents and loves yours botanic garden visits. So we both have a lot of pleasure watching your videos. Thank you for all your work and efforts to make unique, informative contents.🔫
Thank you :)
Love your plant and pole videos and love when you go to A.J’s! Also when you go to wholesalers with her.
Defs overdue a visit at AJs :)
I love listening to plant content while I’m working on my plants and whatever else around the house.
The videos are awesome because there are visual references when I want them but I do tend to put off watching the videos that require more of my focus until I have time to “watch” the video.
Unfortunately, I don’t always remember to go back and watch them.
And then there’s the other issue that some experiences are better in person. It’s like going to the zoo and taking a lot of great pictures. No matter how great the pictures are, most people looking at the pictures would rather just go to the zoo themselves.
But videos where plants we love growing indoors, are growing in nature or conservatories… it would be great to hear takeaways from the visits and how they inform what choices you plan to make next.
Love the reference to feeling like you’re hanging out with a plant friend, plant friend videos are my favorite.
Thank you :) i think the tours have definitely shaped by journey a lot :) I have added many plants to the garden because I saw them at the botanic gardens in the first place :) It's all about learning together :)
That was enjoyable to watch, nice seeing all the different plants you have. Definitely have that coffee and relax.
Thank you :)
Thank God you took a break ! I was getting exhausted just watching you 🙂 But you are much younger (and probably healthier too) than what I am. I think I only have around 100 plants and have a hard time keep up with everything !
Thanks for this long form content! I was doing my own plant chores as the video was playing and it felt like I had a friend with me. Appreciate you!
Yay :)
مجهود جبار مع عناية خاصة بنباتات فيديو رائع وممتع 👍
Thanks :)
I hope you keep up with everything you do. It is helpful and knowledgeable to show off the botanical gardens. I find I learn more. Either way if you don’t feel I understand. I enjoy your channel and thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks:)
Hey Jan
You should honestly film what makes you happy. it's your channel, not everyones gonna like each video. Oh well, there loss i enjoy your videos as well as many others. You flew through all the gardening, by the way. Love your content and look forward to the next one ❤
Thank you :)
Great video Jan! I enjoy all your videos. We are fortunate to have you give us all that variety of content for free. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful plants & their maintenance. 🔫
Thank you :) glad you are enjoying it :)
Such a nice video, very educational on repotting and plant care. You make me want to clean up my plants, thank you.
Thank you :)
I appreciate hanging out with you, Jan! Love all of your content and I’m enjoying the different types you are creating as your journey with plants grows🪴🌵🌳🔫🔫🔫🔫🔫
Thank you :)
A very good-morning to you too... Thanks for sharing....
Thanks :)
🔫This was a fun video! I learned quite a lot from watching you take care of your plants, gives me some ideas to make my workflow more efficient for my plant care. Thanks!
Thanks :)
You could always do more of a casual vlogging style with ur trip videos, so u can enjoy them but also show a few things here and there. That way u feel the effort is worthwhile for u energy.
Your botanical trips are on my to-do list. We've had insanely warm weather here in Iowa this Fall, so I've had extra time to rush through some late projects. Always appreciate your huge effort to bring us all this content! Cheers from the States. 🔫
Thank you :) hope you end up enjoying them :)
🔫💧It's impossible to please all the people with all the content! As a horticulturist who's worked at botanic gardens, I'm definitely interested in the various content. And as an American, I'm fascinated by Aussie flora. Lived there for 6 months and I was in awe the entire time. I wish I could grow Proteas and Grevillias here in Virginia. Too cold in winter and too humid in the summer! Anyway, Ich liebe deine content! 😂💚
Danke :) appreciate the kind words :)
Loved this video, perfect way to spend a lazy Sunday morning watching it. My 7 year old daughter joined in to, chatting along with you. She was very glad you didnt divide the big Alocasia.😂
Haha :D that’s so nice to hear :)
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plants lovely collection beautiful houseplants lovely
Thank you :)
I watch and subscribe to creators that I feel a connection with and enjoy the way the video is edited. Just because there are videos out there explaining certain plant care doesn’t mean I will watch it. Some plant UA-camrs can be very annoying (immature or giggly…), editing is crap, no actual knowledge or just not relevant. You should do the videos you want as I’m a happy subscriber and any advice is appreciated. Plus I’m a fellow Aussie too! ❤
Thank you :) appreciate it :)
what is amazing about your moss pole is that whenever i replant my moss pole into new pot, ill have to wait for the plant to fully grown it own roots system in the pot for me to able to lift the plant while holding the pole. but yours amazingly can be lifted right after repot. you see im quite jealous of that. however, i really like all of your plant and i hope mine will grow as big as yours too
It’s because my mix it chunky and light :)
I adore your tour videos for the gardens. They're all so beautiful 😍🪴💚
Thank you:)
I always enjoy your longer videos. Going on your walks, visiting botanical gardens going plant chopping with AJ. I have the feeling that sometimes some videos don’t show up in my feed. I noticed I missed 2 of your botanical garden videos. So I’m going to watch them now!
Thank you :) hope you enjoy them :)
You really like to be neat..with all your hard work you're still cleaning up, I love seeing that since I love to see things clean n neat..even my plants I run to cut off its yellow leaf or with the hand vacuum to clean between their pots...love love this great video..didn't realize you had a carnivores nepenthes plant too bc you never showed it until you was putting it in new pot with hooks today...you're the plant king.
Thank you :) and yes !! I’m a bit of a neat freak :)
I enjoy watching all your videos whether you are out and about or home with your plants! Thank you
Thank you :)
OK… so, I’d like to say that your videos are better than anything on Netflix… I’ve been watching your videos for many months and I’ve learned a ton plus been entertained… I mean, I’ve researched a lot about plants and no one has ever explained things the way you do… so thank you. Also, thank you for cleaning the space when you had the plants outside. I might have too strong of a reaction when people move stuff then don’t clean, but I find it mildly horrifying… so yeah… seeing you break out the vacuum? Hell yeah. Thanks for your videos. Love them all:)
That’s so nice to hear :) thank you!! And yes, definitely a bit of a neat freak here haha
❤❤❤❤
I love your videos! I just found your channel a few months ago and really appreciate all the magnificent effort you put into your plants. If offers a realistic glimpse into how much actually goes into taking care of tropical varieties. I've learned so much from your videos and am constantly inspired to try new things and definitely challenged to step outside of my comfort zone and take calculated risks that turn into extremely rewarding results. You've helped me level my skills and have cultivated my creative fortitude with all of the possibilities!! My plants stopped suffering when I began to apply some of the techniques and approaches you share in your videos. I live in a very small apartment but have been inspired to lean into this challenge and create an environment where my interests and lifestyles will thrive! I can't thank you enough for inspiring an enthusiast for life!!
Your videos inspire me to have some plants again.
Now I have a Monstera again, some Epipremnum and Philodendron. I love them!
Thank you for your content ❤
Happy growing :)
Hello from erie , Illinois, U s a. I loved your terror videos. I am in a wheelchair and I do not get out to nurseries very often. I do not have as many plants as you do but i'm catching up Fast. I learn a lot from your videos. Keep up the good work and god bless.
Thanks :) happy growing !
Finally, someone who mentioned consistency 👏👏 Consistency is key in all aspects of plant care. I loved this long video, so thank you for taking the time to share with us. 🔫 Big cuddles to Brad 🤗
Thanks :) agree!!
Yaaaass! Love this long video! Your plants look lush n happy! Thank you for sharing! 🌱 💚
Thank you :)
I have been pondering why I haven't watched all your botanical garden tours, and I think it is because I need to be able to dedicate time to watch, and not do anything else while watching. Most of the time I am listening to your videos, and glancing at the screen from time to time while I do other things like plant chores, cooking or knitting. To appreciate the botanical garden tours, I can't be doing anything else, so I haven't made the time to just sit and watch two of them. I do appreciate the time and effort you have put into the tours, and I will watch them, but it will be more of a movie night for me.
🔫
That makes sense :) they are definitely a little more 'fast paced' compared to a video where I just sit down for a while :) oh well, hope they won't disappoint in the end hehe :)
I enjoyed the tour! I didn't get around to watching it until yesterday and I really liked seeing what that company did with the space given the various challenges. Personally, I come to your channel to learn and I didn't realize the tour also detailed educational content. Next time I'll know better! I hope you do more. Don't get discouraged!
Thank you :)
i really enjoy when you talk, about plants or other stuff. This casual talk I really love it, like a "podcast" hahah And OF COURSE, share your knowledge and experiencie growing indoor plants😍
Thank you :) yes that’s 100% my intention … similar to a podcast … hanging out with friends & talking plants … but supported by skme visuals :)
I loved all these tours in botanical gardens! So interesting to experience something so different from what i can see here in Europ 💚
Thank you :)
Hi Jan! I love how you explain what you are doing or refer us to a previous video for more information. Very helpful! Love all your videos, visiting botanical gardens, walks around Sydney included. I hope Tim is thrilled with his new plants 😊 I’m interested in any “shorts” you wish to produce and especially a collaboration with some experts on fertiliser and pests.
Thank you :)
Jan keep doing videos just as you are know one has to watch long videos. Some people aren’t happy unless they are complaining about something. I watch in the evening when I’m done for the day I truly enjoy every minute of your videos long or short. The proof is in the pudding you have more fans than Debbie downers as people in the US say 😊
Thank you :)
Great motivation to your plant following! Thank you, as always!
Hello, I don't know if you will be able to read my message, I discovered your channel on a UA-camr's recommendation because I follow several plant channels, I'm from Brazil and I also grow some tropical plants, I love taking care of my plants and my garden, I'm really enjoying your channel and I congratulate you on the dedication you have to your garden, thank you for sharing.
Thank you :)
Great video. I loved your chatter and real time commentary😊 I laughed when you said 'Oh,that was dumb' when you opened the greenhouse. Oh,by the way ,very imformative! Thanks ❤
Thanks :)
Thank you I want watched three times today while cooking .
Thank you:)
Watching you talk about your botanical gardening videos. Who would have thought having a UA-cam channel was so much like dating! I love the botanical tours. Most likely I will never get to Australia. So you are giving me a chance to enjoy it through your medium. However, I will most likely watch anything planty you post because I like your personality. I guess I share your interests!
Thank you Sue :) that was exactly my intention behind them. I want to show our beautiful flora over here to people who might never be able to come here themselves :)
Love all your work!!! You're a breath of fresh air!!! When is your Mum arriving? You could do some more content with AJ. Love seeing her greenhouse and your fun banter together and adventures. Also you could do a story on Tims move and gatden progress. The long videos are great, i just watch in stages if i dont have time all at once, and it gives me something positive to look forward to. Havent seen Brad in the latest video? Love yooouuu. 🌿🐈😘
Thank you :) Brad was sleeping letting me do all the work :D yes will definitely film a little garden makeover at tims place when we find the time :) my mum will be here in feb :)
I personally loved the tour and will definitely watch more. I think you should stick with it as it's new and sometimes things take a few goes to kick off. Kind of like a band bringing out a new style of song.. maybe if you go and do a few tours without the camera just for you but take notes on how you would like a video tour to look.. You are good with visions that's for sure. Planning and forethought would have improved the last one.. No critisim at all as I love learning alongside you.. Just a thought. Keep doing what you love, you rock! 🪴🔫
Thank you :)
I love your hours long videos. I like to watch them while I’m also doing maintenance. That way I don’t feel alone doing it 😁
Exactly what I had in mind :) thanks :)
I often overlook longer videos just due to time constraints. I like to sit and have a coffee and watch short videos on my breaks. Generally I like 20-30 minute videos. I enjoy the longer ones on my days off.
I’m the same but majority of my audience really likes the longer ones :) suppose it’s all about finding a good balance
I love all your videos! I think the trips in the gardens are really interesting it mixes things up a lil and i just love learning more about the world of plants! ❤Its so cool seeing how things grow in Australia compared to where I live in Canada too. I think showing people this side of plants just brings an appreciation for them and our own houseplants
Thank you:)
I love the long videos. Relaxing.
Keep it up "plant guy". Tysm! ❤😊🌷
Thanks:)
So excited to sit down and listen to this while I do my Plant chores too ✨
Yay :) hope u enjoy it :)
🔫🔫🔫 busy day! Spring has sprung! I love the botanical garden tours and appreciate the time and effort you put in. Also like the "back to basics" idea. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much :)
I love the long ones
Thanks :)
Don't worrie Yan I love the tour of your botanical gardens to know the natives plants of Australia ❤❤❤ sometimes you need to do something deferent ...😊😊😊 By the way I love the effort of repotting and the strangle is real and funny ❤❤❤ 😅😂 take care Yan !!! Happy planting 🌺🌿😊❤️
Thank you :)
I understand your wondering about creating shorter films.
At the very beginning, when I started watching you, I started with shorter videos. I had to like you first and see if you didn't bore me to death, which often happens to me 😂
It was only as my liking for you grew that I started watching all the videos. Now 1:41:34 passed in a moment, but I certainly wouldn't start my journey with you with a video of this length.
I don't give a damn and can watch you for 10 hours, but I'm sure many people will prefer these shorter videos, so I personally support the idea!😎
Fair point :) thank you! Really appreciate it :)
I love when you say “Happy Days!” 😁. We are going into winter and I just hate it. When we fall back up in the North USA, we lose daylight and it makes me so grumpy!!!
Thank you :) your turn for spring will come :)
I did watch the other video with you at the botanical gardens on my other account, but I went and liked it with this account as well. But I will let it play through while I am getting ready for work and rewatch it again! Let's see if we can get those views up cause I actually did enjoy it! Esp cause here in New England, Massachusetts, I feel like our plants and trees are so mundane. But those trees and plants were so cool looking! Thanks 😊
