Love you guys! You are the best plant educators I've come across. I listen to your channel on my commute to and from work. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I would love a video on Hoya or desert rose care, if you need more subject matter. :)
Thank you for sharing this information! It's so hard to find a high quality video on variegation. Your english is amazing as well! Learning a different language is a real triumph! Again, thank you for sharing your information. Warm welcomes from America!!! 💚🌱🌿
A video about carotenoids would be interesting to me, and hopefully other people as well (red and green variegation, all black plants, sunlight, etc). I have a bunch of assumptions about red in foliage, but almost all of it is based on my limited experience and understanding of color theory.
Thank you guys so much! I learned a lot from this video. I love variegated plants and I have a few in my house. All the tips and details are very helpful!
🌈Also, with so many views of this quality video, why are there NOT an equal amount of “likes”? I never get that. Likes help the video reach a greater number of plant people.💚
While I agree with most of the comments regarding the excellent quantity and quality of information provided, I feel like not enough attention has been paid to the soft-spoken delivery. I very much appreciate the tone and volume of the presenter's voice. It can be very jarring to click on a video about a mellow topic like fish keeping or houseplants and have some random "influencer" yelling "WHAT'S UP GUYS!?!? I'M [fill in blank] FROM [random YT channel] HERE WITH 10 TIPS TO GET EPIC GROWTH!!!!!111ONEONEONE!!!"
I love following your videos; it helps me to take care of my many plants. I need your help with a major issue that I have with my 10 years old 'money tree': Guiana Chestnut. I was asking professionals and got very little advice, as wiping the leaves with wet cloth to clean them off from the clear sticky due like liquid popping on them; which seems to attack them. After spraying the plant with neem oil; to my horror some leaves got nasty yellow and brown dots on them, similar to a skin infection. The plant is about 4 fit tall as over a meter and was growing 2 new stems 2 years ago after I had to prune an old stem though it lost all its leaves to that mysterious enemy. I make sure to water it with great care and to have it some dry days as well. I keep the temperature in the winter and placed some water bowels around it to keep humidity stable. The tree is next to a northeast window with very little direct light which I can reduce even more with the blind. Your advice is highly appreciated. My Calathea is saying Hi to you.
I hope you get your baby back! I see your comment is old, but make sure you’re cleaning the plant well (it sounds silly but it true). Clean with a slightly wet rag and some Meyers dish soap, change soul if you haven’t.
Excellent video, thanks. I'm wondering with the green stem you cut off could that just be a separate plant? That's a really full pot and am wondering if it's got 10-15 separate plants? Ofc, that does not negate your valuable point if it's on the same plant.
For most variegated houseplants, keep them in 700-2000 LUX of light. There's free cellphone apps that measure LUX of light. Too low light will loose the variegation; too much sunlight will burn the white variegations.
Great information thank you. My marble queen came with one stem that is totally green and at first I wanted to remove it, but then I decided it gave the plant some personality. That stem is the longest on my small plant and it doesn’t seem to be changing the rest of it at least not yet. I thought it was an error at the nursery when they potted up the cuttings but either way I’m enjoying it. I was wondering if I take a cutting of Brazil, lemon lime, and solid green 💚philodendron what the outcome would be?
Last summer I bought a pot of Pink Allusion Syngonium. The leaves were quite pink..and I do see some pink / redish color on the leaves while they are unfolding. But once they unfold they are like very green? Its right in the window so its getting as much sun as possible but all of my windows face north. Nothing I can do about that. But its putting out a TON of leaves. When I bought it last summer it was just a few leaves and now its like 50 leaves!!
Great video! As always informative and comprehensive! I would like to ask you to make a video about the way you use pumice instead of soil to grow plants. I mean beyond the self watering way or is it only with self watering pots that you use pumice? After I have watched your videos I have tried pumice for small plants in self watering pots and the results seem to be promicing but I am really interesting in learning more. Do you use only self watering pots with pumice? Do you remove the soil from roots before planting into pumice? Is it alright if the roots grow in water with pumice? Are all kinds of plants appropriate to grow in pumice? The most interesting think with pumice is that it seems you can skip from worrying about how much to water the plant. Sorry for the maybe too long comment...
Your video was very informative. Thank you. You mentioned "orange" but what causes the red variation? I have many variegated plants I've had for many years, but I'm trying to increase the red in several of them. Any suggestions?
My n joy pothos developed some brown spots and edges on its leaves a while ago. I did some research and found that many people with variegated pothoses (manjula, marble queen) had the same problem, and the brown spots always appear on the white parts of the foliage. I have since moved my pothos to a brighter location and haven't gotten any more brown spots, so I guess instead of turning the white parts to green, the plant simply killed off the "useless" white parts? I would like to hear your opinion on this.
It's a sacrifice, it costs energy to maintain the white parts. But they don't give energy. Because there is no chlorophyll. So if there isn't enough sunlight-photosynthesis-energy the first thing you quit putting energy in is the parts that do not produce energy.
I’ve had the exact same thing on my N’ Joy & seen it on many other similar plants, especially pearls & jade and manjula. It does not appear to be the same as the way white portions of something like an albo monstera die off. It looks like a sort of disease. I removed all of the leaves with brown spots and propagated the healthy looking leaves into a new plant. I’m very careful never to overwater it. And I’ve only gotten one leaf with any brown spots since doing this. So, while I don’t know what the cause is in these particular pothos, I don’t think it’s the same thing as when other variegated plants kill off a large section of parasitic white leaf tissue
@@WoodlandT it is though, it's a bit more nuanced than that. Variegation means overall the plant is LESS capable of making energy, if you dont give the plant ENOUGH light you will see the decline in the variegated parts of the leaves, because the plant is aware that the variegation is a parasitic/functionless leaf. it may not be worth chopping up the plant because of the brown edges and spots, unless you care for the aesthetics 😊
If you are trying to propagate a varigated leaf cutting will the roots take longer to grow compared to a regular green cutting from the same kind of plant?
As a retired biology instructor, I gave you an A+ for this beautiful lecture.
Love you guys! You are the best plant educators I've come across. I listen to your channel on my commute to and from work. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I would love a video on Hoya or desert rose care, if you need more subject matter. :)

Thank you for the information. I was looking for answers about my variegated agave potatorum
A video about carotenoids would be interesting to me, and hopefully other people as well (red and green variegation, all black plants, sunlight, etc). I have a bunch of assumptions about red in foliage, but almost all of it is based on my limited experience and understanding of color theory.
Your videos are always wonderfully prescriptive and detailed. Thank you!
Very well explained....

Awesome content.
Amazing explanation, thank you!! 😊
wonderful information, thank you. Hej då :-)

I am like the herbivores that think the plant looks sick... I prefer green leaved plants.
Very informative!
I thought there is a solution to follow so that you can make a variegated plant ,hope your n xt video ,teach us
Nice video
Nice
For most variegated houseplants, keep them in 700-2000 LUX of light. There's free cellphone apps that measure LUX of light. Too low light will loose the variegation; too much sunlight will burn the white variegations.
Hate to tell you but unfortunately the apps on any phone for Lux measurements are very very very inaccurate. I know. I was bummed about that also
This explanation was perfect! Thank you so much!
You remind me one of my college professor. Such a great description. Keep posting that helps us a lot. Thank you very much.
Great information thank you. My marble queen came with one stem that is totally green and at first I wanted to remove it, but then I decided it gave the plant some personality.

I love your videos! So so informative. I wish I knew this before I bought a couple variegated plants. I do love them though.
Thank You Sir...♥️♥️♥️
You've explained it all very beautifully. Very informative :)
Yet another great lecture :-) Thank you for making these videos, they are very useful and informative
Great explanation! Thanks!
If a plant has turned all green, will it ever be variegated again? If you propagate those all green pothos leaves, will they be marble queen or?
Very informative thank you 💛💛💛
Great commentary.Why does the silver Queen grow so slowly?
Does this work for succulents and cactus as well?
Does this work for succulents and cactus too?
Can I put plant spikes fertilizer in my indoor plants
Please do a video on pests and pesticides
This video was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!!! Kudos to you! You explained it all so well! 👏👏👏

Can you teach me what are the things being used to variegate a plant, thanks.
Fantastic, thank you so much. I learnt a lot😊😊

Thank you, but what about variegated plants with pink or red, colors?
Your video was very informative. Thank you. You mentioned "orange" but what causes the red variation? I have many variegated plants I've had for many years, but I'm trying to increase the red in several of them. Any suggestions?
A video which is sooo informative as good as a college lecture and also easily understandable ..Great Job 👏👏 Kudos to your team as well 😊
Can a plant lacking Chlorophyll photosynthesise?
I love this video very informative ❤️

Wow 😲 🙋❤️❤️❤️
Great job guys! I have one suggestion... can you do some video about Aglaonemas?
And olso about “ suculents” PLEASE
I learned a lot, im struggling griowing philo pink snd white princess can u do a vid on them please ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
If you are trying to propagate a varigated leaf cutting will the roots take longer to grow compared to a regular green cutting from the same kind of plant?
Are the splashy freckles on hoyas considered chimeric or blister variegation?
Sir pls can you make a video on how to variegate the plant?
I have a question with blister variegation. How do you encourage more variegation for plants with blister variegation like scindapsus?
I’m also trying to research this. It must be humidity or temperature, but I can’t seem to find anything
