When I get up to a new Mr. Sheffield video, it always starts my day with a chuckle. I did try the water conditioner. As a matter of fact, the day you posted that, I had a forehead-smacking moment, wondering why I didn't think of that. I'm still waiting to find out what one of my spider plants is wanting from me. The rest love the conditioner.

I’ve moved it to a more shady spot and am keeping everything crossed that it perks up. 😢

Your original tip about the water conditioner some months ago, is one of the best tips I've ever gotten online. (that and the moisture meter of course) . The dechlorinated water made my primadonna plants look so much better in just a few weeks. Among Calatheas I was probably known as a serial killer 😉 so I haven't had any for two years or so, that is until a month ago or so... I bought a Rose-Painted Calathea wanting to redeem myself and my bad reputation among Calatheas 🤣 So far it's growing well and looks healthy. The dark purple leaves with the pink stripes are very pleasing to look at Thank you Richard, for making me see the errors of my former ways and guiding me onto the right track 😂👍🏻 Take care and thank you for another great video

Same here! I have a palm that never got any fuller, because for every new leaf that grew, one dried up and died. Now it's bright green and becoming lush. My umbrella plant has shown extreme happiness with the conditioner too.

I have two umbrella plants, a big three stemmed bushy slightly variagated one and a medium sized very variegated one... They are among my favorite plants and they love the magic potions (aka dechlorinated water) For years I was told and believed that low humidity was the problem, it matters to some extent, but 'clean' water matters a lot more Happy growing with your plants 😃

I just bought a Calathea four days ago and rather spontaneously so because i found my Croton still/again throwing its leaves so assumed it wasn't getting enough light (now i hope it recovers, Crotons have wonderful leaves but also its autumn and idk how it affects the Croton). Has been the fourth time I've used the art of hacking off a plants feet due to unwillingness to spend any more money on bigger pots and so far all of them loved it, especially one of my ferns whose leaves were getting tired. A day afterwards they looked as strong as never before. I admire how fast it got back up.

I have cut the roots by a third many times over the years, and the plants do just fine. The only problem is after doing this a few times, the plant grows so big that it begins to look a bit foolish in the smaller pot . . . These plants love to be bottom-watered as well, and yes to the stress coat because of the lousy water here in my apartment. That Stress Coat works wonders. And saves money as well. The other question I have is when to stop the plants' feeding? Everyone says the winter months - does that mean starting to withhold the feeding in December and resume again in March? Amanda from Planterina has hinted that she feeds every plant that is showing active growth, even in the winter. She cuts back the feeding half in general. What do you think? Your videos tend to be interesting! Thank you so much, Nancy from NJ . . still feeding!

I tried the root chop with my tickle plants and not impact at all. And as far as the flowering this appears to also only happen for with natural sunlight.

I’m not sure they can. I’ve never tried

About two weeks ago I finally summoned the courage and did my first ever root pruning. Did this on my Calathea orbifolia, who was root bound, but I loved her look in this exact pot. Ever since, she's been looking devastated like she can't believe what I did to her. All leaves drooping sadly. Crossing my fingers that she'll recover 😥

Hmm that’s odd. Every Calathea i do it seems to love it. Give it time and light 🤞

@London4live good day, how is your plant doing since the root pruning you did on her? Hope it’s better now. Blessings 💜💚
