I realize that it takes months to make these propagation videos but I really appreciate you showing the progress of your props. Thank you for the great content 💚

just bought a melanochrysum for my plant mom of a girlfriend, but need to keep it a surprise for a month, so i gotta take care of it for a moment! wish me luck!!

your dedication to providing accurate guidelines in each plant makes this channel worthy to subscribe to 🤩

Love how you show the process from the beginning and months later. No one else does this.

I love that your chanel is very open and you share your successes and failures, we need more content like yours that doesn't always show the picture perfect plant and also for us to appreciate the amount of work that goes into growing them before we bring them into our homes.

I have such good success with propagating my melanochrysum, I put my success to using a prop box with a heat mat underneath grow light on top, planting the cuttings into perlite has been awesome as I have seen roots begin within three weeks and within 6-8 weeks they are ready to plant into their growing medium, I’m actually addicted to growing these. I live in a climate that has four seasons in one day with the least amount being summer so my indoor climate is cold during autumn/winter, we often have the fire going so it is dry so I have to have humidifiers going in the house for my plants regularly.

Love how often you post and how humble you are...and your plants are so beautiful!! My favorite houseplant youtuber

Omg 6 months. Applause for Your dedication and patients. Love your Chanel

I'm obsessed with this plan from the first time I see it. So beautiful and elegant, the dark green, the velvet feeling, the veins of the leave are just so perfect. Such a beautiful thing! Still learning how grow them right.

I just ordered a melanochrysum so I’m back to refresh my knowledge, I’m sooooo excited 😅☺️

I love that you take months to film one video! I try to watch all your videos.

I love how you update us in the same experience, 3 months to provide an update in the same video, wow! Thank you ... THANK YOU!!

Sean your commitment to tracking progress is incredible! Thank you!

I just got my first melano a couple months ago and it has TAKEN OFF. I knew that this plant was going to be one that started off small and would quickly overwhelm me with how large it is getting and so I thank you for making this video because I was not exactly sure how to go about trimming it back/taking cuttings from it. It’s quickly turning into one of my favorite houseplants though. I don’t want to speak for everyone in every region, but if you are looking for an easy to care for, beautiful, house plant, I would personally recommend this one.

I love all your videos. They are really awesome.

I can hear the passion for plants in your voice and I can see it in your hands.I enjoy listening to your clear expiation for what you do.Learnt so much from you.Great job.

Who doesn't own a single plant🙊 Can't name plants 🙈 but still loves to see these videos😊? 💚

I wish I had the climate that you have! The humidity there must be amazing for plants. Here in Texas is dry for the most part and humid only during summer. Which is not enough. Then my house is mostly dry except when I use my humidifier. So much work to keep humid loving plants for me.☹️ But I love your videos and plants! Beautiful!

Hi dear friend!! Today I transferred my propagated melano from spagnum to aroid soil and put it in a plastic bag to capture humidity as a new leaf unfurled. Your amazing videos are my guides for pretty much everything I do with my tropical plants!! Blessings and salutations from Greece!!!

THANK YOU for all your efforts and time in creating a video. 6 months, wow. Just wanna let you know I SERIOUSLY appreciate and love your videos. Pls don’t stop doing this🙈 ✅ care, propagation, and complete updates- the best!

Thank you so much for all your detailed and well-considered process! Please refrain from using toxic pesticides in general, not only for the environment, but for you. They are insidious! Be well, and thanks again for your wonderful videos!

Thank you for this video, it saved me US$100, I planned to buy it tomorrow ( I saw it in my garden nursery today and I love it) but after seeing your video... I don't think I can keep it happy, my humidity even with the humidifier is around 50%... I can barely keep my syngonium happy....

Your tried and tested methods. ....and practical tips ......the air layering tip was very useful Shows how much you care ...thank you for sharing . Your videos are really good and worth watching for any plant lover .🙏👍

I agree, My Melanochrysum also struggles a lot in growing and not doing well in my propagations. I just keep for myself now hehe It pushes new growth in the nodes of the mother plant but like yours, it dries out or produces significantly small leaves.

I have a melanochrysum too, and it is so difficult for me. My humidity is very low. I hope you have better luck, I look forward to seeing what you learn so I can try it too.

I come by for the second time because my melano is not doing well.. thanks for the video and the tips Sean 🙏🏼

Good morning to you vary nice plans they all so beautiful and amazing plans have a blessed day my friend

You are so knowledgeable! I appreciate you. The cup on the plant was such a great idea Thank you for sharing all of this!

One of my favorite plants 🥰 your video reinforced the fact that I never want to chop and prop - this baby is growin just for me 💚

Noted Tip again. If plant is happy, dont repot it. Wish that this video has come out before I repotted my Monstera Albo few months back. Not your fault and sorry for saying it in this Melanochrysum video. 😅 Now it is struggling. I am trying to air layer it like what you taught in a lot of the videos and it seems to be stabilising. Still need to thank you for the air layer tip. 🙇‍♂️

love your videos! your plants are so pretty, and your voice is so nice it helps me thru the work day 🌿

Omg just looking at your plants makes my day.Thanks.

I love how much time and effort you put into these care videos! Melanos are my dream plants and this info is so helpful, maybe if I ever get one I can have a chance at keeping it alive 😂

i like listening to your video. i like that you are explaining everything that you had in mind for the plant. well explained too for me, thank you c: good video

Good morning,always watching how you take care your plants.🌿🌱☘️God bless 🙏❤️

Loving your channel, I live in New Zealand where my tropical plants need a lot of help in winter, I am so jealous of your climate, I live in the wrong part of the world :) You are very blessed to live where you live as a plant lover!!

Really enjoyed the video! I like how willing you are to experiment and stay dedicated to showing progress. Keep it up!

Love your videos. Greetings from Bulgaria 😊🪴

I would've kept the top cuttings intact in its airlayering vessel (roots untouched) until new growth has formed. Great vid as always!

Wow nice melano plants

Finally, Melanochrysum. I was asked to my self why Sean never filming his Melano. Now it just answered. I always using moss for Melano propagation, but it didn't make it at all. After watching your video, it make sense why my top cutting is not working, because they don't have enough roots #LeafToRootRatio. Since your top cutting succeed in water propagation, I will try it. Thanks Sean buat pencerahannya pagi ini.

Propagating and selling the cuttings is such a great way to pay for the mother plant. 👍

Mine is a tiny weeny one as I grow my plants indoors and its amazing to see their potential being grown outside.

I just bought a melanochrysum cutting. I’m very nervous but you definitely made me feel more comfortable. Thank :)

I was inspired to chop up my verru when I saw you prop videos. I'm so glad I did they're all doing so well. I will soon be surrounded by more verrucosums. I am hoping to be able to trade one of the verru for a melanochrysum

Nice video, u put a lot of time in it👍🏻...i have 2 melano .. I relies it that plant that just propagate will grow more faster in grow light ( red blue light) and with humidifier ... i buy pink princess that just cut in really small leaf in sphagnum moss media... i just think it never gonna make it but when i put in grow light and humidifier the growth just blown my mind 😂😂😂 it like 2 weeks and it already put new leaf ... and not just pink princess but also my propagate plowmani even alocasia .. so i think grow light ( red and blue) and humidifier is so soft that so good for propagate plant ....

What a practical and valuable advice🌿🌿🌿. Thank you ao much🙏🙏🙏.

can’t wait for my melano to grow big and healthy like yours!! praying for a long life for her 😂 its also trying to push out a new leaf im getting impatient haha

Thank you for the video! That was very helpful!

Greetings from Portugal! I really enjoy your videos😉

This is perfect! I’m just about to need to chop my melano. He’s outgrowing his space. But I’m nervous to cut him & reset the leaf size. They’ve finally started getting fairly large, but could be so much bigger. Hopefully I won’t be starting from scratch after cutting him Edit - Now that I’ve watched the whole video, I’m even more nervous to cut 😬

I guess I gotta move mine to another spot. Hopefully she’ll thrive with winter ending………. Looking forward to chop her up share with my family if all goes well 😂

I live in South Africa. Nelspruit. It gets very humid in summer. I have tried all sorts of propagation. The best one for me is to put your cuttings directly into your potting mix and then keep your eye on your cutting, keeping it moist and pest free. You don't get as much rotting and die off. If a cutting is not going to make it, it will die soon after propagation.

Found you off a suggested clip from a Google search. Love your teaching style! Immediate new sub. Also your username is brilliant 😂

oh you come across as such lovely person, I love your aura of peace and this beautiful space you are in, subscribing ;)

Your plant videos are the best!!

Your dedication in making these kind of propagation + update videos are amazing. Keep up the good works ...

Thank you for sharing melano my dream plant.

Amazing video

The plant is beautiful ,but I can see it’s definitely not the plant for me. Thank you, for the full explanation on the care and propagation.

Was waiting for this! I also miss your rescue and repotting videos haha

I love this channel. “Leafing around” sent me here. 🇳🇿👏👏👏👏

Wow love your Melano ...

The browning in every shoot/unfurling might be because of misting, wet leaves can help the humidity but some bacteria's prefer to stay at cool and wet environment they might stay for too long and can rot those unfurling leaves. this applied different compare to wild because wild/natural habitat is more wide and spcae tallows to circulate air widely and properly. Btw I like all your videos. Goodluck I hope someday I can have plants like yous

Thank you for another great video

I started watching you yesterday your video on Philodendron Verrucosm was awesome. So interesting watching and listening to you and your love for these. This video is also very good and I’m only just began. Keep the videos coming please 😊👍 Do you have a Facebook page I can follow? I looked and didn’t see you. Thanks 😊

Thank you for all the hard work you put in all your videos. Really appreciate it. In your video I saw your Lupinum . Can you share some care tips on that cause all my leaves unfurl damaged and torn. I don't know why. There are not pest damage visible.

Sana all magkaroon niyan..

I love your videos !

Ooh gorgeous 😯 Can you make a video elaborating your preventative fungicidal treatments?? I live in a similar subtropical climate and monsoons means fungus all over the soil in some of my pots 😅

Hello Sean … that’s cool 😎 thanks for sharing 🧤👒🦘🐨🇦🇺🙌🌱

Beautiful plant.

Watching from Phillipines

new shoot/leaf of my melanochrysum died before even unfurling and it's still inside its cataphyl now. I don't know if I should cut or just wait till new growth comes out... your plants are lovely, by the way. Thanks for sharing

I would love to see a monstera dubia video!!! Your videos are gospel to me! 🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙

Masyaa Alloh...indahnya ...trims ilmunya...tp sayang sekali saya belum punya ....jd pengen punya...tp harganya mahaaal...😥😥😥😥

Great video! Bevor I am buying again stupid stuff (horrible monstera variegata leaf), what is important when buying a melanochrysum cutting? Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Thank you for all the info

I love your nursery white pots but unfortunately there's nothing like that here in the Philippines wish we could have like that pot...thanks

This was so helpful

Very informative. Thank U

Thank you for not being so greedy with your Melano 💚😁

Great vídeo, thank you so much!!!

Awesome video 👍

Bang, sy dari Bandung Indonesia, 👍👍👍 keren bang konten2 nya 👍

Love this!!! I didn’t see link pop up for soil mix?

thank You! We love Melanochrysum!

Your videos are so helpful! I love that you film the progress over time so we can see the outcome. I have a little dilemma, maybe you or someone can help?: I am trying to rehab a Melano that I had shipped about 5 months ago. It did not acclimate well and lost all its leaves within a couple weeks of arriving. The roots were still healthy (albeit kinda small) so I stuck the now naked stem in sphagnum moss and put it outside (I live in an area with a very warm, humid climate). It’s growing leaves but they’re very small, not even half the size the leaves were when I got it a few months back. It gets bright indirect sun (under a covered porch that receives good morning sun and afternoon shade) and it gets Liquidirt occasionally. How do I get the leaves to grow bigger?

Really loved this video it was so interesting! :)

Thanks for these videos 🙌🏼

So pretty,,, i never seen anywhere from India 😥😥😥

plowmanii next 😍

Please make a dedicated video for lupinum

Rewatching this and your philodendron Gloriousum video again and again because I justo got their hybrid plant-philodendron Glorious 😂

It's so funny how I do the exact same things you do with your plants... And your 'greedy' comment always makes me laugh.. Haha 🤣 sama banget deh ma gue!

great video. where did you get the tall frosted plastic pots you put the cuttings in?

This is really good Sean. I enjoyed this very much. Is there another more natural way to deal with insects and pest?

I'm a little surprised you didnt trim off the dried up aerial roots before repotting - isn't that a rot liability?

ffffffffff....yes Sean,it's me,breathing behind your neck... 🤣😂🤣😂 you are so funny Sean!!!! Btw gorgeous Philo💚💚💚

I had difficulty with propagating melano too. I think my first mistake is not enough light.
