Nick, you're one of the first people I've heard pronounce Cebu correctly. I usually hear people say sea-boo and was pronouncing it that way until I learned it was a plant from the Philippine's. I asked my dad who is Filipino if he'd knew of it and he said I was pronouncing it wrong and that it's more of a s'boo with a shorter s sound. Ughhh your plants are LUSH! I can't wait for mine to trail as beautifully as yours.

I still see the attraction for sure, some of those leafs are gorgeous, but I prefer to visit Hoyas and enjoy them at other people's houses. :D My newest favourite trailer is just a common Scindapsus pictus I got for cheap from a local store where it was dying and they were about to throw it out.

I live in Canada and have a north facing window, and have kept string of pearls alive and thriving for 4 months now! So I wouldn’t say it’s impossible. Surprisingly, the consistently bright light you get all day in a north facing window does very well for a lot of plants. When I first got it, it was all contained in the pot, now it trails about 3 inches! I only water when it’s plastic nursery pot gets extremely light, sometimes that’s 2-3 weeks between watering.

I live in Canada with north facing windows too! I find I can grow many things as long as they are grown directly in the windowsill.

Yep, I have 3 north facing windows and one south facing window in my place. My north facing windows have the majority of my plants because they won't get burnt! Cissus and Peperomia plants do just fine being pulled back from the north windows in my experience. I have a cissus rhombofolia about 4 feet away from my north window (with an overhang for my balcony!) and I can't get it to STOP growing! My peperomia obtusifolia shot out 3 new leaves in about a month being 5 feet away. I highly encourage getting a plant light meter app if you have a smart phone that measures lux. I figured out that even being pulled that far back, they get around 500-700 lux (which is the low end of bright indirect light).

Hi Nick - If you want guaranteed success propagating cuttings in water, add a cutting of pothos to the same container of water as your cutting. It sounds weird, but it works. I was skeptical until I tried it, and I was amazed at how it works every single time, not only quickly, but successfully. Try it! The worst that can happen is your pothos will propagate, right? On a different note, can you give care instructions on Ming Aralias, the ones that look like parsley? I’ve tried growing them for literally decades, in different rooms, different houses, different lighting and watering, etc., and I’ve lost every one of them. I’m stubborn (or maybe stupid), and I keep buying them, albeit years apart when the pain and frustration subsides to a distant memory, because I love them so much. Thank you for such wonderful videos. I’m addicted to your channel and have been for years.
