I like the idea but I wouldn't want the water dripping down as it will annoy my neighbours. It'd be good to find some way of catching excess water.

I find my Buckleberry can take a LOT more light than many of my other Bulbs. That has always been great for me in terms of growth and flowering.

I note the comment that they don't need to be too wet but would they form roots in one of the misting propagators with a reservoir of water in the base which sprays water over the base of the stem and encloses the rest with a transparent lid which retains humidity. I use this to propagate most things but sometimes certain things root better placed in little pots of perlite and compost standing above the water and just benefiting from the humidity. Have you ever tried just rooting them in water for example? Thanks

Thank you! I've been having terrible luck with mine. Hope this will finally save them.

This is the most straight forward, informative. educational video by far I have seen while searching for how to mend browning leaves and straggling vines on my Wandering Jew. I had no idea. Thanks so much. I will add that I keep mine outside on a covered front porch, lots of humidity, 6 hours of sun and very hot summers in the Carolinas. Can these be successful under those conditions? One of them is thriving while the other is peaked looking. I am repotting but after watching this, I will use your information to probably separate into a few pots. Neither are currently in hanging planters, but both are raised on columns that allows plenty of hang.

one thing ive noticed that no one really seems to talk about is the way their roots grow. i have about half a dozen planted in a 20" pot which is large. i filled the lower 2/3 of the pot with filler for drainage, and the top 1/3 is soil. ive done this because of the way wandering jews tend to completely consume the soil with their roots. i planted these about 3 months ago, and now i have a circular disc of soil which is hard like wood. the roots have SO thoroughly filled the soil, that now its more root than soil. its obviously a capillary type root, but it an important factor to growing them, no one seems to cover properly, atleast that ive seen. their roots are so aggressive, that my use of small branches to direct the vines has become problematic. the roots will not only consume, but grow right in to wood, or really any organic material. so if i leave a stick in the soil for a week or two, and then go to pull it out, i rip dozens of roots off, which have grown in to the wood of the stick. the reason i filled 2/3 of the large pot with filler, was because my last batch in this pot completely consumed the entire 5 gallon pot of soil, and it became impossible for water to drain properly, root rot set in and i refused to let that happen again. i used promix, which ive had great luck with, but id love a comprehensive guide on how to deal with their all consuming root growth

We have 7 of these "rios" hanging by hooks on our fence. All bought at the same time. The pink ones are still flowering but the red ones are only "vining" but they look very healthy. (We had no problem with them last year (different plants; we lost those due to freeze).

Thank you for making this video! I bought this kind of orchid for the first time last year and it had one stalk with lots of flowers. I was very confused when it came around to this year with 5 new stalks shooting up and no flowers, but thanks to your video I know to just leave it alone and let it do its thing. Thank you!

I started growing them this year and I'm totally addicted to growing and collecting them!

Wow your nursery is gorgeous.

Ordinary begonia houseplants

Thank you so much, I’m new to houseplants and I have them outside on a overporch, my wondering Jew has something going on and I think this might be the issue because it’s been unusually humid here, Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I just subscribed 😊❤

Hi, thank you for the video. I am trying my hand at my first Zygopetalum. (Which I got from Aldi today of all places...😂).

Hi Geoff! Those blooms are lovely! Thank you for the advise.

Brilliant tutorial- just what I've been looking for, thankyou so much! xx

If you're using bug clear on flowering plants...be aware it will also kill the bees that go to these plants..

I really like that yellow hill, it would look great mixed with the purple and blue trads.

Double video speed wasn't fast enough to get to the point

Where did you get the yellow sticky traps. I would have to buy a package of 32. I only have five plants and do not plant to get any more. I received these beautiful plants when my 29 year old daughter died 4 months ago and I simply do not want them to die.

Pinched out the top?? 🤷🏾‍♀️

I'm not a collector of rare plants, but I was thinking of at least one or two orchids. I have a very cold little flat in UK and no idea what orchid I should pick first. Thank you for sharing that video.

Great info on those snails, luckily not suffered yet ! Have one Strep, do the regular with the Dibleys feed . Taken some cuttings as well will see how they progress.

I haven't seen any IG posts or new videos for a while now, I hope that you are doing OK and you're just busy with summer.

I'm wanting to get a "Nightmare" Streptocarpus, which looks absolutely amazing, but I've never tried growing it.

When IS the BEST time to repot?

What's the name of the white one Geoff?

Awesome information! I have been doing research and you are correct no one has a good tutorial on how to tidy the plants as they go dormant. i am definitely going to start pulling leaves and stems out and no more cutting.

I grow Streptocarpus. I have some mini and some regular varieties. I just purchased 4 new hybrids from Violet Barn in NY. Now usually when I get a plant, they look great and soon after bringing them home, I live in California in USDA Zone 9b, they start to bloom and they bloom a lot but as winter approaches, they slow down and then never come back. I have yellow leaves, saggy leaves, just sad looking plants that never bloom as profusely as they did when I brought them home. I do know that they like bright light, and I have mine under LED grow lights and I fertilize with a balanced fertilizer once a month. What else can I do to get them to look as amazing as yours? I also keep my house between a low of 65F (18C)(at night in winter) to a high of 78F (25C)(during the day in summer).

I've propagated all my begonias in water and all of them grew into nice full plants

Can you propagate the flower stalk like a leaf pulling??

When it comes to Drosera I believe each variety of needs their own grow guide. Because people who are new to carnivorous plants might get confused. You wouldn't grow tropical Drosera the same way you grow a temperate or tuberous variety.

They don't produce spores. Thats why mostly they are not ferns i guess.

Many thanks. Really useful video and tour. I'm very new to the idea of keeping Drosera spp. but have recently acquired my first seedlings of D. spatulata and D. capensis (I think!!). I was very interested in the comments about transitioning from peat to coir, which is necessary as we quite-rightly withdraw peat from general horticultural use. The comment about washing salts out of coir was intriguing. I'm not even sure how one would do that. It must be very messy, wasteful and time-consuming, and must use huge amounts of de-ionised / RO water to accomplish. I need to do more research into this.

Thank you

Love them all! I was wondering why flower's stems are so short on mine. She has so much blooms but barely above the leaves. Do you have an idea about the reason? Maybe too much light (placed on a north-facing window sill)..? I don't know.. Thank you for your advice. It's always relevant and so clear 🙂

I need exact amt if fertilizer to “Tombstone” zygopetalum. Thanks for great learnings about getting a transparent pot for me to monitor d inside of my Tombstone orchid . More power!!! Ruby from CAlifornia USA

I have had really good luck sprinkling a tiny bit of myco powder in the hole with the cut end. They really seem to kick off bigger and faster. Have you ever tried this? Great video! Thank you.

Great plants man!! Keep it up!❤

I took a small trey filled it with 3/4 water (HOT) and a teespoon with honey then 1/4 white wine vinegar and then a few drops of dish soap and mixed it nothing happened :( then I tried doing same with two small treys and I noticed big difference so I took 6 small treys and filled em up and I didnt see the flies anymore :)

Thank you! This was exactly the information I was looking for. I hate using peat for the environmental impact and I have blocks of coir. I plan on trying the rain water washes too.

Hi. Could you please tell me how this worked out? I have one & think it needs repotting, so would be good to know. Thanks

Interesting, my tiger and zumba have very similar leaf contrast, neither more dramatic than the other. Your tiger paw eyelash is a lot more "muted" on contrast than the one I have. Maybe different light levels? Tiger paw at my house gets a couple hours of direct sunlight a day through the window, I noticed the leaves got more contrast-y after moving it to that spot from a full indirect light spot. Same deal for the soli mutata, a spot with an hour or two of direct gave them amazing coloring where the leaves were rather light in general before.

I love basic zonal pelargoniums. Their leaves smell nice. When they dry and fall, they can be powdered to release the smell. They look just fine without blooms. But the leaves have small hairs and attrack grime, soil, spider webs, tree "wool" and such.

Ours go down to 22 degrees ! Love them ❤️

This was perfect!! Thanks so much for the detailed explanation ❤

one of the best all round yt videos i’ve watched

any specific ph requerement in the feeding? I am from Colombia and got one healthy plant, much darker green leaves, now is getting like4 or 5 new growth but for 2 years have never seen a flower.

Hi I was wondering what are signs that it has started to go dormant? I purchased one a month ago and it has gotten new flowers almost every day until last week it all drooped down and shriveled up. I checked the tuber and it is hard still. Has dormancy begun?

Can I just sit mine in water to propagate? I've had my plant for years and one of its vines have started to die and I'm hoping I can get new plants. Mine also has basil shoots but they are on the vine itself just looks like whole new plants coming out of the vine in some places

What site do you buy your neps from?
