I love your Plant School Podcast and just discovered you're also on youtube! I pictured you as a small brunette ha ha. One video I'd love is seeing style your plants and plant shelf bookshelf with a talk through. Like seeing you moving them around to get more light to hungrier plants, adding a coverpot and perhaps a few ornaments for a color theme or whatever. I'd also love a podcast or video on African Violets with a violet specialist. I enjoyed your interview with Chris Lewis from Orchid Dynasty and its so nice to have plants flowering inside. Plus I love the fuzzy leaves and you can fit alot of them in one area. One topic I'd love is how to grow minature african violets. Like do they have special needs to get them to bloom? Also if you could ask on how to get rid of spider mites on violets especially but how to deal with pests on violets? Their fuzzy leaves seem to me so delicate and seem to get damaged by the sprays I use for other house plants. I use horticultural spraying oil and spinatorum which is a growth inhibitor. Not sure on what to do or if I should throw them out. I never had any pests on violets or mites before on any houseplant until I ordered one from online and now it spread to the entire lot, even though I spray it when it arrived when I noticed it had tiny webs a few tiny yellow spots in the crown so I quarantined on the other side of the house for 2 months they managed to get everywhere :(
Should I repot if my plant is just starting to poke through the bottom, or wait until it looks a bit like yours? I get confused bc most sites say to wait as long as a year to repot but I have plants doing this after only 3 months or so! Specially a ZZ and a golden Pothos.
I’d go ahead and repot them! My example in this video was a super neglected grocery store plant. And both ZZ plants and pothos both don’t like being root-bound so you should be good to go!
Thank you for sharing this! Super helpful!
Thank you!!

So many great suggestions! Thanks, I'll write these down and hopefully be able to cover them soon!

@@tenneyplants thank you!! ☺️
When I took my African spears out to repot them they all separated, they didn't come out as a block like yours did.
I think mine had a rubber band buried underneath from the grower so that’s why it stuck together
