I love that you included all types of pests in 1 video! This must have taken so much time to put together!! appreciate you 💚

Now that we've covered pests, let's talk about how to acclimate new plants to your home: czcams.com/video/fzMH4Zx7L1Q/video.html

i love my red tiger lotus, i was a complete noob when i first got it and it grew super quick. When i first tried plants they all died immediately but i wanted to give it another go because of the benifits and how amazing live plants look. i also have a question if anyone can answer me? about halfway up the plant there seems to be a point where new roots have grown and they are essentially floating in the water. I didn’t know it was even possible for them to grow there and they certainly look cool but i was super confused

This video is very misleading to beginner houseplant growers. First off, orchids are not "low light" plants. Even the "low light" varieties, such as moth orchids (Phalaenopsis) and slipper orchids (mostly Paphiopedilum and Phragmipedium), generally need a minimum of 1,000 foot candles to bloom, or the equivalent of bright shade to dappled sunlight. Second, Philodendron plowmanii will need much more light than the video suggests to grow large foliage. In truly dark environments, just bright enough to "read a book," they do not grow nearly as well as tried and true aroids such as Philodendron hederaceum and Epipremnum aureum. Dracaenas (snake plants and dragon trees) and Zamioculcas zamiifolia (zz plants) grow the best in dark spaces. And third, the philodendron heights are way off. Plowmanii does not reach a height of "8 feet" even in the wild. Their stem grows horizontally along the forest floor. Their foliage height, if grown well, usually will max out around 3-4 feet in a household. 69686 grows vertically up trees and, even in lower light, can grow much taller than "2 feet" if given a support stake or moss pole. I appreciate the origin info and fun facts though.

I’ve kept a blue oil fern alive and I can’t keep ferns alive for 💩. But not until I built a grow tent for my plants. I don’t water enough to keep ferns happy. Indoor grow tent or those covers for wire racks are came changers!

Thank you for this great video! I recently purchased a tiger lotus bulb from Aquarium Co-Op and was STUNNED at its beauty! Not only did it have long roots already but so many leaves with baby leaves poking up 🥰🥰. A few of the leaves melted after I placed the roots in my substrate that I removed but the baby’s grew and new shoots are popping up! My Pygmy cories and nerite snail love it

such a classical plant

Thank you for doing a practical experiment. It saved me a bit of time and money -- I was actually ready to buy a few of these tiger lotuses, despite thinking they'd not be very attractive in my tanks, now I might hold off and find other methods that are hopefully more effective.

Thanks to @beaglemanzzz and @curvingfyre6810 for the idea for this video! Here's the original video on the red tiger lotus: czcams.com/video/SJlUJP8AQ_s/video.html

Part 2 - Let's see if this algae control rumor really works: czcams.com/video/boNtHhuPoMA/video.html

I have this same Calathea plant. My plant looks amazing. With East sun and humidifier plus rain water. My plant looks beautiful.

I watched this at 6 in the morning. I like your chill voice. But yeah I’m getting a drama llama, can’t wait to be the best helicopter plant parent 🤞🏾

Question, how come some Rosy plants have a sage green color to it?

Hoya green light also goes by the name Hoya carnosa "krimson princess"

I bought the Hoya green light and that Calathea Medallion from Home Depot (a few months ago) They are doing very well and I think they are so beautiful.

Up next - let's talk Calathea Roseopicta czcams.com/video/2Ss9a1m6exU/video.html

Nymph-hey-yah zen-carry

Should it be removed from the small pot that they come in before planting in the aquarium?

So we moved to upstate NY from Brooklyn and one of the biggest downsides is the lack of an IKEA (unless I want to go to Toronto which...that's a whole thing). Consequently, when I see something IKEA-related at the thrift stores that's for plants (intentionally or not), I jump on it.

Great vid

Next up, building a double-decker plant quarantine box - czcams.com/video/RKPNExyCYLg/video.html

So what do you think? Do I have 2 Standard White Fusion Calatheas, 2 Stellas, or one of each?

Bettie (my cat) gave my work a B+...she's very judgemental.

Hey girl heyyyyyyy! God damn AMAZING freaking haul holay shit ❤

hey!! new watcher here :) i just wanted to lyk that i think you switched your A. cuprea and A. “Dragon Scale”!! i’m pretty sure the first plant you opened was the cuprea, and the second alocasia you opened was your dragon scale <3 i like your content!!

That’s a Philo. White Wizard

But seriously, does ANYONE know why these plant sellers are all based in Merritt Island, FL?

Working on the acclimation video next but in the mean time, let's talk about my favorite grow lights (and why they're not the lights you might think to buy) czcams.com/video/KA7kW7P3lbY/video.html

I’m watching this video on how to keep it alive lol It has crispy edges as well as some yellow leaves .-.

Wow great tips - very comprehensive, and it's refreshing hearing about how to do this from a plant expert! I've been having great luck with a Tradescantia zebrina in an indoor mini-pond, as well as a Murdannia loriformis which is definitely thriving & sending up a flower shoot after just a couple weeks, to my surprise. It should be noted that I am not a plant expert though haha. Great advice about lighting and floaters. Thanks!

Thx I love how deep u went with the info this video is how it's done thx

Wanna see my current fully-aquatic plant collection? It's over here - czcams.com/video/81GEFUigCws/video.html

Sangat sedih ketika tanaman yang kita cintai mati, dan itulah yang membuat kita menyesal.

One clarification - the yellow "supple" stems most likely will never fully come back and will probably need to be pruned eventually. The reason I suggest keeping them around now is it MAY help reduce the amount of shock/trauma the plant is facing since there are still nutrients and resources in the slightly-squishy stems.

Rewind to last year when my White Fusion Calathea had happier times - czcams.com/video/_9OjRFFl7e0/video.html

It doesn't need CO2 if you let a couple of leaves become emergent, then the surface leaves will be able to supply CO2 to the rest of the plant. The emergent leaves block excess light and slow algae growth on the substrate(not good for carpets that require high light). The flower blooms once a year in early summer when the temperature is in low to mid 20s. The flower opens up at night after the lights are off and will last about 4 days. It can self pollinate and you'll get a whole bunch of poppy sized seeds from the flower as it wilts and grow into a seed cluster. It will not flower without emergent leaves. After growing emergent leaves it starts growing a different kind of stem. The stems are a lot sturdier to support the larger and and more robust emergent leaves. The seeds can be sprouted in water and will grow on anything, had mine growing in a large patch on soft drift wood. I use it as a center piece instead of background as it really does look spectacular once it takes off. Goes well with crypts as carpet(low light).

Thanks for the tips, learned a lot!

Aka the only good floating plant lol. I'm curious about the anti algae chemical. Is there a source on that? Do we know what algae types it effects? Diatoms, cyano, red, green, filamentous, colonial, etc?

Woooow. Finally I have found so good info. Thanx❤ ...o, and 😘of course

Many thanks great video!I have grown mine from bulb ,low tect 15 gallon and its doing great and looks amazing !My nano fish and betta love it! Strange to mention but its a young tank heavily planted and I have minimal algae so maybe its true that helps?

I love discovering new plants for my planted tanks! This is a great deep dive, do you have online place you recommend to buy? I love Buce Plants, but they are often out of stock.

Next up - let's talk about my OTHER favorite aquatic plant, the Madagascar Lace: czcams.com/video/vYMkyGQ94c8/video.html

Great video about the lotus plant 🌱

I have a lace plant. I've had it for almost 4 years. It got one root tab at the beginning than about 12 to 18 months after i put it in my 29... all my fish died in a 48 hour period out of the blue. I was devastated... shut the lights, filtration off and walked away from the tank. That thing is gangster! Its still alive and since I've decided to rescape and restart the tank.. its bouncing back nicely.

Up next, let's dive into another AMAZING calathea - the white fusion! czcams.com/video/_9OjRFFl7e0/video.html

Up next - Let's talk about the Rosy Calathea, one of the prettiest pink plants around - czcams.com/video/2Ss9a1m6exU/video.html

That’s not a monstera albo

That's a philodendron, not monstera

Thank you so much! This is so informative ❤️❤️❤️ so useful and at the right time too! I just got my small albo
