Coming from a tropical country, I have great respect for people who grow tropical plants in a non-tropical environment. I would imagine the extra care and attention to have these plants grow beautifully in your place.
Hello James, I think you’ve done a great job in this video. The way you explained things was simple, straightforward and easy to understand. It was also nice to share your experiences with growing philodendrons. Kudos!
Thanks for the good information. I watch orchids, and the dendrology and plant care from school are really helping with them, and I just start with philodendrons so I hope I can make it XD.
Showing off a lovely leaf only to spot a mealy bug is such a mood! I love looking at all your big-leaved beauties; personally I'm still too new to houseplants to go in for anything fancier than a micans, but I do love it to death. Would love to have a melanochrysum or hybrid one day!
haha 😂😂 I went on a little hunt after this and found a few more 😱 Enjoy your micans! They're such gorgeous plants 😍 hope you find a melano or hybrid soon too!
I was watering my philodendrons every time the soil got dry, but I am an overwaterer. The growth was slow, four new leaves in a whole summer. Then I went on a long vacation and I was worried they'd be bone dry. When I got back the soil was dried out but the humidity was still up and the growth exploded. Three different species had seven new leaves on each plant! After that I swore to neglect them a little more.
Diane Miles I think when a healthy robust plant has a little drought the roots really go to town looking for that water, then more root leads to more foliage!
Thank you James, shout out from Auckland. I’m binge watching your videos at the moment and learning a lot. I really like philodendrons and started to get more of them, my latest is a melano that I’m picking up tomorrow hence looking in CZcams for care tips and come across your channel, great content and I like the sound of your voice. Ive subscribed and follow you on Instagram now. Keep the the great work.
This video was so helpful James philodendrons are not my forte at all unfortunately :/ I’m more of an Anthurium Gal 😂 gonna definitely try some of the tips you talked about :) hope your plant children are doing well :) sending u love all the way from Dallas Texas 🤠
very informative... thank you for sharing, James... i'm loving the way your Philodendron Gloriosum cascading like that on the background, and the leaves are AMAZING... not the mention to be able to look at the veins on the biceps... ummm... i mean the leaf... 🌿🌿🌿
@@danaprima That's a glorious. a hybrid between a gloriosum and a Melanochrysum. It's a climber instead of a crawler like the gloriosum. It takes up less space too.
Thank you, James, for the clear comprehensive guidance. How do you determine which Philos go into your grow tent vs stay in your ‘open’ room with a humidifier? Is it specific to each kind of Philo i.e. verrucosum vs gloriosum vs Florida ghost ? My indoor conditions of humidity range between 50-70% with a small humidifier on for 6-12 hours per day. Thank you!
I shower mine now and again, say once a month. Good for protection from spider mites and mealy bugs etc, they all generally hate being showered! In addition it keeps the dust off. In their natural habitat they get rained on frequently.
Really good comprehensive care video. Does pruning or trimming phils help flush out new growth? And is it harmful to trim aerial roots that are not attached to their support? Thanks for sharing your tips!
Thanks for your video! Can someone explain to me why any plant would like to be rootbound? No plant in nature grows in a pot. So it seems a bit mysterious to me.
The way I think of it is that a lot of plants grow in competition with other plants or in spaces that have limited room for root growth - like up in a tree or in small spaces between rocks for example, so my assumption - supported by some stuff I've read - is that plants evolved to make the most of that situation and perhaps having too much space means they don't have the structure/support they sometimes need to thrive. There is also the common explanation that it is simply easier to avoid overwatering something when it is in a smaller pot etc. Hope that helps! I'll look into it some more! 🌱🙌
Great vid :) But Philo's are sold in many forms in the regular market. Than we have those fashion varieties like pink princess white princess raspberry shake and so on. I've seen pretty big Philodendron 'Green wonder' growing in normal indoor climate. Do you plan to always grow all yourPhilodendrons inside "tents" or are there anyone you will introduce to your regular living space or know that can handle it better, except for example P. hederaceum/scandens that we all know works well.
James ArmstrongW Thank you for commenting.I heard that in the video, but not seeing them (don't know how many you have) XD. Higher humidity is better for us as well, but the tent gave them nice boost. Sad if it "revert/disappears. Would be nice to see how you acclimate some of them in the future. And how they handle it. I as well as you want plants to at least have a decent life. I will go trough the rest of your videos. It might bring me more insight. Thank you.

Whoop whoop 🙌🏻
Plants are lookin’ good-nice vid. Nice to see more ppl actually sharing care insights rather than hype vids. 👌🏻
Just found your channel, and I really enjoy how straightforward and clear everything is. Time to binge! 🌿
Same!!🌿💗
very clear explanations, and a very handsome host. really gorgeous looking philodendron. greetings from Colombia!
My eyes have never moved away from the veins, I know it's plant care channel, but James can you do fitness channel as well

Your majestic is beautiful! Hopefully they become more readily available in the future, maybe in 30 years lol. 🤞🏼
Thanks for the good information. I watch orchids, and the dendrology and plant care from school are really helping with them, and I just start with philodendrons so I hope I can make it XD.
I’m just here for those 💪🏻
I love watching your videos, they are so informative and have greatly helped me as a plant parent. I also find you so calming to watch😊

Best way to start the morning - watching philodendron care video hehe

YAS! PLANT 👏🏼 DAH 👏🏼 DEE 👏🏼 😉✨👌🏼
This was a great video - thank you. Now can you do Anthuriums and alocasias? ;-). I really like the concise summary which covers all the bases.

i'm loving the way your Philodendron Gloriosum cascading like that on the background, and the leaves are AMAZING...
not the mention to be able to look at the veins on the biceps... ummm... i mean the leaf... 🌿🌿🌿
I see no Gloriosum in the background. Only silver pastazanum, Plowmanii and glorious but no Gloriosum.
@@sloeberdoet I meant that huge one the left side, might be the P.S.Pastazanum... so I could be wrong then... 😋
@@danaprima That's a glorious. a hybrid between a gloriosum and a Melanochrysum. It's a climber instead of a crawler like the gloriosum. It takes up less space too.
is anyone looking at how big his arms are or is it just me? HAHAHA love this vid bc im a philodendron collector and i love these plnts!!!b
I search for this comment in every video so I can like it 😍👉💪.
😂 as handsome as the plants ard him!

Hi James, this is very helpful thanks and can you do a Philodendron collections update? Thanks
Hey :3 Loved the video! do you dust or wash big velvety leaves? they seem so soft and gentle 🌿 I am just curious if you supposed to do it or not :)
I shower mine now and again, say once a month. Good for protection from spider mites and mealy bugs etc, they all generally hate being showered! In addition it keeps the dust off. In their natural habitat they get rained on frequently.
Thank you for this James! So informative 🤍 also a random question what is the difference between Mamei and Plowmanii? They look so similar to me 🙈
Your collection its B EAutiful! 🤗 i loved getting to see them as your background
This was very helpful. Thanks 🌿
Enjoyed your knowledgeable presentation great job love seeing your videos
Thanks for the time and effort that you put in to this video....it was a good one
Great video, thank you so much.
Really good comprehensive care video. Does pruning or trimming phils help flush out new growth? And is it harmful to trim aerial roots that are not attached to their support? Thanks for sharing your tips!

Thank you so much! It was really detailed, please do more videos soon
Beautiful explanation. Plants lover from Malaysia 🇲🇾
I’m I came for the plants but the host is 🔥
You and your videos are just great and your collection …
Hey James,

Do you mind if I ask what type of microphone you're using? :)
Thank you James. Very informative.

Nice dear
Thanks for Share

Great video again.
Great video! How long you wait to let cuts callus up? I'm about to propagate my gloriosum & am nervous about messing it up 😓
GisForGangsta Good luck! 🤞
James is there any major care difference between the velvet leaf philos and the others?
Great video again James. looking forward to your next one.
Really helpful
the neck mic.. pro.
Is that a sodiroi in the background?

@@JamesArmstrongPlants Hey thanks for the reply man. Makes sense!
Great video’s thank you! Do you have instagram?

In this video I say I grow a lot of my philodendron outside tents in my normal living space including the three largest I own. 🙌🌱

obliqua tips please
Denny Burhan for real? That’s like an audience of 4 people isn’t it?! 😂
Helen Catt we needed it :( no one upload things about obliqua care hahaha
I love you
Love your videos but the ads are to much! I understand that you have some to earn money, but every few minutes 2 ads is to much!
