Watching those cacti get ruined was devastating. Especially since those large ones are at least a decade old. No need to graft cacti unless you have a neon one (they don't have chlorophyll so need the root stock to do it for them).

That graft could never have worked bc you have to line up the vascular ring in the center of the cacti for them to sustainably connect. Theres only one center per specimen. They MIGHT try to grow together but they wouldn't live too long without the vascular rings lined up. And yes I may not have the exact proper terms but that's what it is.

Yes I’ve seen people put candle wax on the cut ends, but it will absolutely not grow from the main stalk that was cut. It would branch out from the sides. I don’t know why people put all that effort into making a completely fake growth pattern on these videos!

Mandy Larsen I'm honestly much more interested in how they achieve the special effects than the actual topic of the video. A much more interesting video would be the short itself and then a sped up super cut of them cutting down a plant and then showing it in reverse to make it seem like it grows. I believe that is a genre that exists on KZfaq, random videos and then showing behind the scenes. It's much more interesting than cutting a plant to put a different plant on top of it

Thank you for making this video! I have always thought the 5 minute videos were ridiculous, but some people I know get sucked in by them and then are disappointed when most of the “hacks” don’t work. I own a variegated jade plant, so they do exist in the real world. Mine has more contrast to the variegation than the one in the video. It is highly variegated with creamy almost white stripes and half moon leaves contrasted with dark green, a bit darker than my normal green jade. Because of the high variegation, it grows much slower than my normal jade plant. I wish KZfaq would let me show you a picture. I live in the United States, and once in a while we get the variegated jades at my nearest Lowes garden center, though not terribly often.

Banana peels actually release a lot of nutrients. I’ve tested seed germination with and without peels and the peels sprouted faster and stronger than the seeds without the peels.

I lay banana peels on our counter and let them dry (in our dry climate, takes only 2-3 days), then I use them as aquarium fertilizer. Shove them all the way down into my deep substrate where they can decompose and feed rooted aquatic plants. My hygrophila seems to especially love that! EDIT: ORGANIC bananas only. No way I'd want to know what the pesticides and such on non-organic stuff might do to my fish and shrimp.

Some of those are a bit sus... but I did the rusty nail hack with my African Violet a couple years ago. I'd had it 5 or so years, still in it's og pot, same soil... and it flowered for the first time since I'd bought it. It's the iron oxide - "Rusty nails can provide the iron to help your plants thrive. The iron will reboot your plants’ ability to synthesize chlorophyll and improve these structures and functions of their chloroplasts. The rust also increases the acidity of the soil...".

You actually CAN grow some mushrooms using coffee grounds. The mushroom they're "growing" in that video doesn't look right, though. Probably the most common one to be grown with coffee grounds are oyster mushrooms (pleurotus genus), but they do better if you mix it with sawdust from a tree that it can grow on (it's favorite is poplar). They can even be grown in plain cardboard, and I've even seen oyster mushroom mycelium eating a cigarette butt in a petri dish.

Looks like the first one is an extremely ambitious attempt to graft several cacti together. Plants have to be a certain amount of genetically similar in order for that to work, so odds are at least a few of their grab bags were incompatible, and likely the cut on the large one was too severe for it to survive.

The one with the period pad was so strange. For starters, the plant looked like it was in a plastic pot without drainage which will keep the moisture longer anyway. The pad has a layer of plastic so maybe it’s supposed to prevent the water from sinking deeper into the pot. If the roots aren’t long enough, why not plant it into a smaller pot? 😅 To me it looks like it will most likely cause the soil below the pad to rot, wouldn’t it?

Maybe the bottle was to keep the leaves out of the water? I don't think it would work very well. Variegated Jade IS a thing & very beautiful! I want one! Nope! That's NOT corn sprouts!! As if cooked corn would sprout in the 1st place! I've worked in plenty of vegetable gardens, corn grows wide blades, not strings! Again you're right. I grew a Mango once. I just stuck the unpeeled seed in a pot & it grew nicely. I missed the weather one night & an unexpected cold snap hit that & I lost it & an avocado plant! I was so proud of them!! 😥 I MIGHT try the Watermelon, but put it out in the yard as a novelty, then pot it up when the waterman is gone. Never mind! The critters would eat it first! Spiky Watermelon? Never saw one! Cucumbers have little spines. There are spiky melons, but they don't look like cactus like that one did! Nope!

Yes the wax seals the cut end to prevent disease - I’ve seen it on bamboo cuts but also on money trees. I have two money trees and love them! (One money tree I saved from the Walmart graveyard🙄) do you have a money tree? Love your videos so much! Cheers💕✝️🙋🏻‍♀️

Mate, hate to tell you, but the last one actually works It doesn't look like theirs does because they film the before and after on the same day, but the goop that the chia seeds make when they're wet is really sticky. I've written things with them and had them growing on walls. Give it a try! It only takes 7 days and you can add the sprouts into food The rest is just nonsense

Based on the baby plants that they appear to show growing out of the corn cob, I suspect they put seeds for another plant between the corn kernels. Those are DEFINITELY not baby corn plants. TOTALLY wrong leaves. LOL

I used a hack to grow a plant in a banana, all I grew was a huge black smell which was swarming in insects

The bottle I would think would help keep the leaves from sliding down into the water completely. That watermelon hack would stink up to high heaven in a couple of days. Have you ever put a eaten slice into the trash and not take the trash out right away? Pew!!! Using a raw egg would tend to stink also, I would guess. In the 70s, I heard to make your leaves shine use mayo to shine them. I did on my 2 giant split leaf philo. They died. LOL

Yeah that mayo hack is not the one!

10:51 maybe the point was to show that you can use a knife to cut a melon and don't need to get a (usually not very clean) angle grinder? ;)

The wax helps seal the lucky bamboo preventing infection. If you don't seal it with wax it almost always dies in my exspearnce.
