Thank you Niyya! I am so glad! Your positivity and support has been beyond amazing! ♥️

Thank you so much darlin'! I do my best!

Thank you so much Josh!

Thank you!! I love how big this guy gets! 💚

Thank you !! 🌿

Oh me too! I just can't get enough of those big tropical leaves!

Thank you so much Ashley! ♥️♥️♥️

That's really normal when they grow indoors. The light source is usually not right above them so they tend to droop as their leaves move to the window. Older leaves also just droop over time when new leaves are formed, pushing the older leaves out of the way. There is nothing wrong with it, but if you want them to be more upright, try propping the leaves up with with twine or other supports. You can also put a grow light right about the plant to encourage it to grow upwards. I also rotate mine often, especially while the leaves are growing to try to get them to stay as upright as possible. 🙂

Thank you so much! 💚😄

Yes, most nurseries still use that name because it's one of the most commonly used and well known names. Even though it was reclassified years ago, I don't expect nurseries to change the name they are using, because that would only confuse their customers. 💚

Hi! I would be happy to help! It's hard for me to know why your plant is turning yellow without knowing more about the plant. Like, what type of light it gets, watering schedule, fertilizer, have you checked for pests.? We can talk on the comments here, or if you prefer, we can talk on Instagram @mind_the_leaves so you can send a pic.

Hi Robert! That's so cool that you have been caring for one for 22 years!! I can't wait to talk to your wife!

Hahaha!😂 That would definitely help! 💚💚💚

Thank you!!! ♥️♥️♥️

when you notice a stunt of growth or leaves dying. Also when it seems to be too thirsty, meaning the soil dries out way faster than it should be drying out.

Hahaha it's very technical. I would agree with you, yours has slightly deeper cut leaves than mine giving it a more delicate look. Definitely a "her"! 😂

Hi Tiffany! If you are propagating by pups, you should cut as close to the mother as possible. Use a sharp knife. The mother plant can take more abuse than the little pup. Just get right in between them and cut the pup off. If you are going via stem cuttings, just make sure you have at least one node on there, preferably more and then stick the stem cuttings in water or soil.

The same happened to me. I just left it in the pot, watered when needed and now l have 4 new beautiful leaves

You can always repot your plant and cut away any parts that you think might be dead before you place it in its new pot.

I came here to know the same thing. Its taking over my little kitchen, I'm wondering if I can stake it.

@@karolyndowns2973 I decided to stake mine. It looks better!

@@racheldavidson4112 I did mine too! Looks so much better!!

Thank you so much my friend!! I really appreciate your support!! ♥️♥️♥️

No, unless you live in zone 9 or warmer. I live in zone 5 so there is no way this guy would survive the winter. You can always put it outside and then bring it in for the winter though.

Hi Michelle! That so great! Actually these plants are pretty tough when it comes to drafts. As long as it doesn't get colder than 50 degrees, you should be fine.

Hi! Thaumatophyllums should ideally have very dark deep green leaves. As I discuss in my other video about this plant, mine was showing signs of clorosis, which is basically yellowing due to an iron deficiency. But leaves can yellow for other reasons, like lack of sunlight, pests, ect... 🙂

Not just a leaf alone, it would need at least a piece of the stem with a node on it in order to propagate. 🙂🌿

With yellowing leaves it's likely not enough sunlight or it could need fertilizer. How much light does your plant get? When was the last time you gave it some fertilizer? I also have a video about the mistakes I have made with this plant and how I fixed them, it might be helpful. 💚

@@mindtheleaves9914 I will search for that video. I just bought it a couple of months ago. I repotted it today. Hopefully it cheers up.

@@mariocean808 it's great that you repotted it. Hopefully the fresh soil will help.

Oooo ouch. Do any of the leaves still look good? If it's still alive it should eventually recover. They are tough plants. Give it bright indirect light and just let it grow some new leaves. 💙

@@mindtheleaves9914 yes it has 8 leaves with one almost all pale yellow and dry and one with slight pale yellow spots. the rest of the leaves look good and healthy and i brought it indoors immediately and put it by my humidifier for several hours. it seems to be fine now, but i haven’t cut off the damaged leaves. do you think i should? thank you for replying!

@@deemahamad7011 glad to hear it's doing better! I probably would pull the damaged leaves off depending on how bad they look, but you don't have to. I would definitely take the one with spots off though, just incase it's something that could spread.

Hahaha the plants talk to me and let me know how they identify. :)

@@mindtheleaves9914 I wish I had your gift. Just to simply know whether I'm over watering or under watering my plant.

@@subtitledEN you know, it's a skill that you can learn if you just keep growing my friend. 💚
