I was walking through the plant section of a shop today and had your voice in my head saying the names of the plants 😂 and heeded your advice on some of them and left them on the shelf. Thanks Mr. Sheffield!

I'm an American and am wondering why you have not been knighted by the king yet. You are my go to plant channel.

every time u put a plant in the bin I chuckle it looks so absurd and i love how u do it everytime

I threw away a monstera this morning because it had mealy bugs I couldn’t eradicate. Sometimes you just have to start over. Your advice has been so valuable! Off to the plant nursery for a replacement.

I recently moved into a new office and decided that the decor theme would be a conservatory. My collection of plants is growing and your advice has been invaluable. Each time i think of them as my green babies, you pop in my head. Many thanks, and best wishes from sub tropical South Africa. ❤

Aww we don't suffer through your videos, we're smiling and laughing 😹 Keep 'em coming, Mr S! PS I got your handbook this week, tysm 💚

Haha, I always feel a sense of excitement when showering my plants too. It's like I can feel and hear them loving it and enjoying it 😂

No, you are not the only one who feels all itchy when reading/dealing with plant pests 😆 Thanks for the pruning reminder - I paused the video to chop the top off my very leggy monstera, which I'd been debating doing for ages.

Great tips, good humor and superior production values: Thank you! 🕊

I watched at 1.75x speed so i got all that advice in 6 minutes and 17 seconds

I love your videos. The comedy is excellent, and I appreciate your honesty when sharing your experience. Thank you very much!

Aquarium water conditioner, if it’s a good brand, does two things to water: It removes chorine, and it breaks down chloramine and ammonia into available nitrogen. Both these things are good for plants.

I walked through the plant section of my local store and saw some of your favorite and not favorite plants, then remembered some of your “Mrs. Sheffield” lines and laughed out loud….all by myself. I had a moment there. I love your little dramatic moments in these videos so much. 😂 Keep it up!

Love speckled Jim. My peace lily is named Big Bertha. She's huge! And Blooming! 😀 Wtg hydro!

Hi Mr Sheffield! I am pretty new to plant keeping and I recently discovered your channel - I absolutely love it! You have given me so many useful tips and made me buy more new plants!!! Thank you for doing what you do! 😊

I agree that misting is useless for humidity, but it can work wonders to free leaves that get stuck when unfurling. I've saved quite a few of my Melanochrysum leaves by misting them when they got stuck in the stem.

Propagation is how I got most of my plants, I am "stealing" cuttings everywhere I go 😎

Personally, I've found that a philodendron and arrow plant I have had a significantly easier time unfurling their leaves after I started misting them every day. Misting doesn't help with humidity per say, but certain plants' leaves need some extra moisture to thrive.

What ive learned growing Monstera's indoors that it is very beneficial to spray the leaves every week or two. I noticed that it helps growing new leaves. I think this is due to the fact that indoors the leaves of the plant wil collect dust and grees that is naturally in the air indoors in any house. You wil notice that when you spray of the Monstera's ( i do this outside ) there leaves whil shine alot more, and the new leaves wil grow faster. Just a free tip from a happy grower. Greetings

We got a Zebra Calathea and have no real issues. Use rain water and got it in a spot about 3/4 meters from a south facing window with a little more shade provided by our Monstera. It gets a little crispy on a leaf or two if it drys out quicker than I expected but otherwise it's doing grand and got a bunch of new growth coming through this year 🤙

Now speckled Jim sounds more like a plump breasted pigeon than a plant 🤣🤣

1:07 Your acting is just getting better and better! I really enjoy watching it. 🎭👏🏼😂😂😂

Watching this right after making a humidity tray is very humbling 💀 My poor coleus plants don't get enough humidity in my dry home... Right next to an air vent.

I love hearing the proper and complete plant name roll off your tongue. I have had plants for years but am now getting down to caring for Them properly. I find that all I need to do is, follow your channel to receive the assistance I need to help my plants thrive /survive 🤓 I appreciate the humor in your delivery. Sometimes, I am shocked how fun it can be to learn new things . ❤ I am just now preparing to learn all I can about moss polls 😉👍

Great video as always Richard!😂 Loved the tid bits of humor here and there. Made me laugh out loud! 🤣 Thanks for always making great content my “plant friend”😉😄

I have 14 of varieties calathea and maranta…ever since they need spray water for humidity,all grown happily…thanks again always learn your videos and of course enjoy to watch your all plants..xx

..."save your bacon"! - 🤣 and b-roll rules 😂 Love this channel!

I live in the Pacific Northwest. I was afraid of sun burning my snake plants. All that did was make my plants leggy and slow growing. I put them in a south facing window and they are growing at a steady pace. Fish tank water has been a game changer. I'll never need to buy fertilizer again. Even for cactus and succulents it's great.

Third times a charm. Best 11 minutes spent. I'm cream crackered about Speckled Jim. Love and Peace.

Just got my own Speckled Jim today! So excited to see it thrive!

Im glad i found this channel😅 i recently started taking care of plants, and as a newbie i wanted to start with one succulent. But the lady selling me the plant convinced me to take another one, a fire fern, saying it was very beginner friendly. I never thought plants could give so much stress Thankfully i've already learned a few things about succulents from this channel

I now mist my plants every day. It may not help with humidity, I don't know, but I do know that it helps keep spider mites away. When I don't mist for awhile, the mites appear. Love your videos.

Brilliant video😂....and yes light is the biggest problem. 😮

You have a beautiful collection. Thanks for sharing your tips! ❤

Thank you you have beautiful plants 😊

Great tips love the humour with your vlogs Thanks Mr Sheffield 😀 👍

If you’ve never been to Hawaii you really should go-the pothos growing wild had the biggest leaves I’ve ever seen. I lived there and fell in love with plants because of it ❤🌸 thanks for all your great videos!

Don't feel bad about 10 grow lights in you home. I've got 22 in my bedroom HAHAHA 😬Oh the heat!!

Excellent plant tips/humor! Many thanks! ❤🌿's

I have a "surviving" calathea. She would grow a leaf and as that leaf starts to die, a new leaf grows alongside. So on average, I have a leaf and a half. Lol... I do use stress coat as I have lots of aquariums. I also tried giving it milk as I saw that in another video. It did quite help. You are so true, these challenging clatheas are very high maintenance.

I have 13 calathea, I love them! My orbifolia are stunning and getting so big and full with summer and the heat moving in 🙌🌿 I do love to shower plants and hose them down, my bird of paradise loves a good shower, and shower is probably the easiest way to clean Thanksgiving cactus

Richard Richard do a video on cactus care....your tips....your tricks..

I recently repotted 3 of my begonias into LECA because crispy leaves, my Angel Wing begonia rewarded me by dropping all its leaves 😩. I hope it recovers 😢

I can tell how much you love your plants~

Great video!

Jim is very handsome

Hi Rich, love your latest video. I spray my plants and clean with micro fiber cloth . I think I suggested to put Jim in your bedroom your other Monstera to be friendly. Best to you always. Have some fun with your human kids. Good luck house hunting. Love ya Billie from Philly

Love your Pete McKee and kid acne prints. I find watering with rain water works well for my calatheas. 👍

I agree that misting plants doesn’t affect the humidity much, unless you do it all day. But that takes all day, and also, everything in the house will get soaked. There are ways to boost indoor humidity, but you probably don’t want to do any of them, if you also have to live in the same room.

Thanks for your tips. Something for Jade plant too please!

Misting is really good for the coffee plant and for baby’s tear.

Great video

You can buy super clean reverse osmosis water for around .50 cents a gallon at most pet or fish stores. Come when they clean the tanks and you can get the fish poop water, the plants love it!

Your humor cracks me up! 😂 😅

Water conditioner is literally the secret sauce. 3 drops to a gallon has changed my leaves on alocasias too.

I have a Silver Squill, im always debating on whether i should cut its flowers off or not.

I like calatheas but agree that I don’t like adjusting my home to make a plant happy other than light , if you would like one that actually not picky about humidity, get the rattlesnake variety

Great video!! Can you tell me what plant that is at time stamp 8:59?? It looks like your Elgergrass but it's all bright green, no purple? I found that light for me made the biggest impact. I did order 2 separate Sansi grow lights but I am not really a fan. They are EXTREMELY Hot! I burned myself trying to set them up! I am afraid to leave these on in my bedroom with no one around all day. I tried to return them but the shipping was cost prohibitive. I might try and sell them on FB marketplace. I found Barrina's to do the trick for me. I can touch and move them even when they have been on all day. With a new grandbaby on the way I need them to be safe. Thanks for all your amazing videos! they are so much fun.

If I may Mr. Sheffield, I bought a baby monstera last late summer & it’s happily growing. But, it’s really growing (6 leaves, I think, & appendages) I feel it’s time to replant. Two ?? When I repot, should I bury the appendages? I also bought a pot roughly 2.5 times bigger than its current one, I’ve watched you & it looks like they enjoy being root bound. I plan on buying a moss pole before I transplant, but I need your advice first. BTW, I ❤❤❤ your show, you are hilarious! Educational without being boring. Thank you.

I am so happy to find your channel. I’ve had houseplants my whole life, but married, moved to a colder climate & wasn’t having much luck. Finally started seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and was thinking of trying new ones. However, for the 2nd year in a row, I went to help my mother & was gone for a month. The 1st year, I came home to beautiful plants. Last year I came home to dead plants, including my Grandmother’s Christmas Cactus. I’m 68 so that may give you an idea of how old it was. My husband swears he did what he did the year before 🤔. Now I’m leaving again for mother’s and am terrified about what I may come home to. I went to Amazon and got your water meter & the API Stress Coat, game changer! Love them both! I have shown my husband and I’m still nervous as to what I’ll come home to. Love, love, love your channel. Thank you❤

I love your humor 🙃

Great video 😀🇨🇦

My plants are all huge after 15-25 years of growing. I stopped buying new plants now. The cuttings I’ve given away to friends and family. I have thrown some away because I don’t have enough room for them. I get great light from my 5 SW and NE facing windows. 20 years later the only space is hanging plants from the ceiling. I’m 73 and will take any advice. Thanks

Yep Rich, I'm at it again. Dracaena fragrance----3 more baby varieties to go with the one I already got. kentia palm ----20 incher spider plant baby---to go with my 4 that I propagrated, these are growing in water. very appealing water feature. caladium plant caroline whorton--------holy shit, it's 20inches high with leaves bigger then your hand Rich, going to grow this baby in water(new experiment) Now I am done! I ordered a second bamboo stand so I can keep my earth plants separated from my water ones. BUGS! You have a gorgeous weekend my plant advisor and plant friend. I will be changing earth and cleaning plants/pots. lol relaxing to me.

Buying with a space in mind, and then it doesn't thrive in said space so i have to run around in the house looking for a space😂 my maranta is stressing me soo much..

Is it best to leave trimming / cutting down the plant to spring? Winter has officially started down under & didn’t get around to cutting in autumn.

Great video Sheff, thanks for the tips! I was wondering what your take, on products like babybio leafshine is? I use it here and there, looks lovely, all glossy, but worry a bit about unwanted effects? Have you used it? Also, I've just followed your link to the water conditioner, got some on the way.... do you use it on all of your plants or just the tricky ones?

My water is double filtered and I still use water conditioner. It’s alkaline, so I have to use pH down too 😣

I just repotted my monsters and she dropped two leaves and yes I panicked

I was given a calathea zebrina as a birthday gift. It was quite a large and probably expensive gift. I murdered it. I tried under watering it, over watering it, in full sun to dappled light. It hated me and the little diva refused to survive 😭

How do you keep the chlorine and all out of the calathea soil when you spray them off? My calathea medallion is particularly sensitive to that and I make sure I always condition its water.

I wanted to check out that soil, but they don't shop in the USA. 😢

Thank you. Could you please link the water conditioner in the amazone store? Thx!

I concur about " not misting indoor plants" , I stopped after one plant became infested with an insect. Ferns might be different.

I’ve learned over the years that I have to have a spot in mind when purchasing a plant. I’ve rearranged my house just to fit my plants in. 😂 If I can’t find a suitable spot for it, even though I may really really want it, I won’t purchase it.

Hello Mr. Sheffield! I’ve put a small spoon of miracle grow soluble plant food in a gallon of water. I haven’t used all of it because I don’t have many house plants. Will the solution last in the container until next month, or should I make smaller batches next time?

💚

Mr. Sheffield, which moss poles do you suggest? Couldn’t find it on your Amazon page

Just wondering how many plastic cases you can fill with a 3 liter bag of Sphagnum moss. Really want to make my own moss poles but I am unsure how much moss to buy. Thank you in advance!

Mr Sheffield... as always a fabulous video!!!! I wondered about the water conditioner for plants? I don't use tap water for watering as I'm in a very hard water area! Instead I set myself up a water butt so my plants have rain water. Is this okay, do I need to condition?

3:02 you’re hilarious 😂

Still not seeing the next video on screen. Can you it the link to it in the more info section please.

💚💚

I’ve tried moss poles and they are difficult to keep moist in my dry climate. Does the soil in the pole work better?

❤

Love your videos and all your plants, but dusting must be a nightmare. 🙂

Monster Monstera is just a baby. It will become a whole lot bigger monster.

Does that 👑 singularly Excellent dust Bin have a name ❓

Another big leaf specimen that takes a lot of time to clean. Hahaha Luckily I don't like big leaves. Too many outdoors that made me insensitive to them. Yes, I live in the tropics, Brazil to be specific tho you don't care. I need 4 plants to complete my *Ten Is Enough* collection. Good luck cleaning the big leaves. Moisture meter 😂😂😂😂 I don't need it. The weight of the vase, my finger and sensitivity never failed me.

Should the ground of peace lilies always remain wet? because i read and heard that they come from really wet areas and can even grow in ponds and swamps but i also hear people saying im ust let the ground dry out, what should i do? 😆

what time you open your growlight and how many hours a day😊😊😊

Where I am I can only put a lot of my plants by windows in Winter, or they get burnt to a crisp

Does the moisture meter that you show in the video really work well? i read so many bad reviews on that meter and had some bad experiences with that specific meter myself. After doing some research i found out that there is also a meter from the brand Skyard, this one has many good reviews and i ordered 2! i also believe that the Skyard meter is the original one and the other ones are knock-offs.

Mr S, what are your thoughts on one small black spider hanging around my plants, I think he eats any bugs or gnats.

I wonder if the shockingly cold water that comes out of the garden hose might be too much for a plant. This is just a thought not a criticism. Of course if you uncurl your hose and leave it spread out in the sun, the water in it will heat up a bit. I recently sprayed the tops of a dirty plant with the kitchen sink sprayer.

4:32 dont take that out of context

my problem with my indoor plants are insects. i tried neem oil and stickers but it does not do much and it also affects my plants growth. i was thinking of replacing my soil with lechuza pon. what is your opinion about it.
