@@jameswalls705 if you love your plants passive hydro will kill then in the long run. The hole is to keep the water level low, the leca wicks up the water while providing air for the roots. Fertilisers will go up in cost and you will over pay for the blends at hydroponic stores. No organic material will inevitably up the PH. Most plants in semi hydro need to be kept above 18c. Water moulds will eventually kill plants without fungicides. The holes help to flush out the containers. The more you flush the more successful you will be with salt build up and keeping PH from getting too high.
Clear pots are awesome, but seeing you grow these plants out instead of cutting them up to make money and showing us the true potential of these great plants is fantastic. Keep the info coming. we appreciate it more than you know. THANKS!!!!
My tip for the hobby is to source the ugly discounted plants and try to make it thrive. If it does, bonus! If not, it was cheap and I experimented and learnt!
I love doing this. You'll be amazed how some that look poorly at the top have excellent root systems and just need seperating, repotting and leaf removal so that healthy ones are left for it to keep growing. Recently rescued 2 swiss ( one is slightly sickly looking yet those leaves are doing EVERYTHING to fight dying so we're using a clear pot over the top to raise some humidity for new shoots to grow and we can then give these struggling fighters a break) a Mican (which since I split it's pot & tidied its leaves up it's thriving, it was funnily enough a bunnings throw away) and a marble queen I saved from death of over watering from Woolies (it's absolutely going gang busters, to the point we can make cuttings and attempt my first propagation) so yeah even if something you're given or aquired looks like it's on it's way out you can save them with a little TLC. They might take a bit longer to grow but they'll definitely recover fast knowing they're getting care. Wish you lots of luck with your plant babies!
Refreshing perspective on plant parenting! Sometimes I can forget that it's about experimenting what works for me and enjoying myself. In Germany Dehner, Hagebau, Obi etc. all sell transparent nursery pots under the label orchid pot (Orchideentopf).
Great tips video. Thanks. I just found clear containers at the Dollar Tree here in the U.S. I'll use a soldering iron to make holes in them. $1.25 each and they are nice and thick. Multiple sizes to choose from. Saving money for more plants!!
Most of my fails are a few years back and I don’t really have good footage to back them up visually. But all the lessons learnt are incorporated in all my tutorials :)
Just recently I repotted ALL of my plants into clear pots. I live in Germany and here we get them in all sizes from 6cm up to 21cm in any garden center. They are sold as orchid pots but are just regular nursery pots. I switched my plants from soil to a non-organic mix (DIY "Pon" but chunkier) and it's really easy to see the moisture level of the minerals as well as root growth.
If any of your viewers happens to live in Switzerland: Landi has fantastic transparent pots that hold up pretty well. They also carry orchid bark, that's useless for most epiphytic orchids (other than some in the oncidium alliance), but brilliant for aroids when mixed with perlite, which they have too.
Very informative video. I began using clear pots for my seedlings and bare roots. I will probably transfer to a decorative pot with drainage as a point of preference whenever I repot. Thanks for the insight.
I like to get baby plants or cuttings if I try a new plant. First, they are a joy to watch as they grow so fast. Second they don't cost as much, so if my conditions are not good for it or if my care is lacking, then I didn't lose a lot of money. Of course I know that they'll all be big one day (hopefully), but I'll focus on where to put them when that time comes 😂
Have a nice trip! I have never been on an airplane...or to the ocean.....I hope you have a nice time and see you when you get back.....love the clear pots.....I have a feeling big stores will start carrying them since all us would like to grow our plants in them! I did 2 days of repotting with new soil mix! I could only find lava rock but it did work just fine....so thanks for suggesting any lava rock if we can't find pumice :)...the new mix already I am loving....ok thanks again....
Clear pots was probably the single most important thing I did that made my plants super happy! I mean, made me be able to care for them in a way that made them happy! I switched over a year or so ago and never looked back! I can’t do pots if they are not see through. I will find something to make a pot if it doesn’t come in the size I need gallon jugs, acrylic ice /drink buckets(?) from party stores, bulk containers for like pretzels or cheese balls 😂. I use a soldering iron to make holes and melt the rim to soften the cut. 🤷🏻♀️
Thank you for explaining these dots! I was wondering about that all 19 minutes ^^; Also thank you for being so considerate and remembering that we all live in a huge variety of conditions. Your plants are gorgeous and I can't wait for more videos :)
I chop and propagate for ‘plant insurance’, particularly when I buy a new plant that’s a bit pricey and when I’m not too sure about its care, I’ll take a cutting as insurance. Thank you for the awesome tips.
Clear pots really help, i live in Germany and i get mine from Ecuagenera Europe site because they have them from 5.5 to 21 cm and offer some bulk prices.
Again valuable tips 👏🏻👏🏻 If you started your youtube channel two years ago.

I use glass jars for my orchids (repurpose with a purpose) with leca. I use a glass drill bit to put one or two holes in the side of the glass close to the bottom to allow for drainage.

when I hear about always checking the root system, this song comes to me :) Always Look On the Bright Side of Life :) I don't know.. ;) Greetings from Europe!
This is awesome information. Your presentation is awesome. You are awesome! Thank you for yet another most informative clip. I had to laugh when you said not to be afraid to cut a plant; it took me weeks to finally cut my philodendron red emerald. Now she’s reaching the ceiling.
I love those clear pots & really wish I could find them in the states. I can only find clear pots with angled sides and a dimple in the bottom. Straight walls & flat bottoms are such an advantage for repotting and fitting into various cover pots. Yours are also the perfect sizes for 90% of my plants. That really simplifies everything
We don’t have a lot of them in Sweden either but almost 99% of the orchids in Sweden are sold in clear pots so maybe you can search online for some “orchid pots” and find some online, maybe Amazon! Just a tip 😊
Or you can buy the clear take out containers. Amazon has them. That’s what I did. And then used a soldering iron to make holes. Works out to be less than a dollar each.
Another fab vid! I'm lucky to be in Sydney also. Appreciate if u include deets of the local shops you source your materials. Eg pumice, wood chips. Where do u get your rare plants from?
I m from Singapore and I am a relatively new plant parent. Thanks for all the tips. Love to try your chop and extend technique but I still can not decide what plant to start with.
Aw Thats me! Thanks SO much! I do have a large range (8 sizes) from 6cm right up to 20cm in the clear pots :) www.wildvinetheshop.co.nz ( New Zealand only unfortunately)
@@princealbertofpa every time I type just the name of the huge online store (without a link), CZcams deletes my comment. Bezos owns it. You can get both types of pots there.
It looks as if CZcams is not allowing me to share the link, but here is the description for the rigid clear pots I buy on Amazon. They’re excellent. 10 Pack Clear Orchid Pots Set w/Holes Clear Plastic Baskets w/Great Aerification and Drainage 5 Items 6" and 5 Items 4,5" Two Sizes of Orchid Planter
Hi jan, könntest du mal beim nächsten chop&extend zeigen wie "messy" das ist ? wie viel moos wegfällt etc. und sind da wo deine pflanzen sthene viele moos stücke am boden?
Hi from Germany! I'd love if you could make a video on fertilizers/nutrients for plants. I dont know what to get and the one I just used up didn't boost any growth I feel like. I use aquarium water to water my plants which always gives them some nutrients. But I can't get the fast growth you do. 😕 I'm about to get worm castings as I've heard you can't go wrong with them. But can't decide on a fertilizer🙄😅
I can’t really make a video on it because I don’t have much experience. When I started my plant journey GT Australia was recommended to me and I’ve been using it since. It’s working so i won’t fix what’s not broken 🤷🏻♂️ sorry
Do you put the clear containers into ceramic pots? I know plant health is #1, but would that work? I just put soil into ceramic pots and use that. I can't see the roots obviously so now I want to replant them.
@@sydneyplantguy the Epipremnum amplissimum ‘Albo-Variegata’ and ‘Aurea-Variegata’ both came from Australian native plants. Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Aurea’ ( like the Goldilocks/Neon Epi. aurea, depending on the PBRs of the part of the world you’re in ) full Hypo- yellows also came from Australian native plants. The Epi. pinnatum ‘ Aurea-Variegata ‘ came from Indonesia. You have to know someone to obtain full Aureas. People like Kaylee Ellen ramp up the hype, inflate the value and then the plants are practically worthless. You’d be surprised what Australian Aroid growers have. I’ve even got high variegated Zz ‘ Ruby Raven ‘. The picture online aren’t high quality plants. As for the Monstera deliciosa plants everywhere it’s one of the main species used to teach meristem culture ( both flasking and replating ) to our undergrad students at UQ.
It’s not brain surgery 😅 That cracked me up 😂 no most of the time a bit of research and common sense goes a long way, but sometimes can feel complicated with all the different options and endless ways to do things 🫣 BUT yes we should have FUN! It’s meant for fun! 👏🙌
Terrific video! I wish it was easier to find larger see-through containers. I notice that your bigger plants are in small (to me) pots. Do you find those plants like to be somewhat pot bound? And a request…let’s not call ourselves parents. As an adoptive parent, I know how hurtful it is for children to have adoption belittled. My daughter has been compared to a dog by a girl trying to understand adoption. We parent children, not plants or dogs.
Thank you & thanks for letting me know. Totally see you point, always learn something new 👍🏻 the pots are that small because most of the root system is within the moss pole itself :)
@@sydneyplantguy As a biological and adoptive parent to children as well as a plant parent. They all have the same goal raising something/someone into an amazing being just like you are doing! Love your plant babies 🌿💚 Ty for educating us and sharing your journey.
@@sydneyplantguy I was looking for more general information anyway. That’s definitely super helpful. I’m manly trying to think of what size clear pots to buy and what size pot would hold up a sizable plant. Thank you man!! 🖤
Best advice I've seen yet!! Growing plants is really an individual journey and it varies substantially from person to person according to their resources and environment. I draw most of my inspirations from you, Daryl (Houseplantjournal) and Paz (Paz_plantlife) but I have never really strictly followed any of your suggested methods. I'm just gathering materials that I can source locally and have had a lot of successes in the last two years!!
I am 75 and I continue to learn... 💚🌿 Love your thoughts they really are very beneficial.
Thank you :)
We (India) don't have see through pots so i use cheap see through plastic storage containers, they do the job well and are available at many more size options!!
Being creative is what it’s all about 🙌

Hey, it's been forever since your comment, but what section did you find them in??
I buy orchid pots from the local nursery or Amazon. I then pop them in a opaque cover pot because the roots grow better in the dark.
I found 6" clear pots at Walmart online. 50 pots for $98, including taxes, free shipping. (USA)
Please talk about your plants fails(if any) too. As a serial plant killer, I would love to hear about similar experiences. Lol.

Haven’t grown in leca myself but for anyone using an organic medium aeration and drainage is key for aroids
If the pot doesn't have drainage any extra water will sit in the bottom of the pot and rot the roots.
I use glass jars for my orchids (repurpose with a purpose) with leca. I use a glass drill bit to put one or two holes in the side of the glass close to the bottom to allow for drainage.

I'm about to get worm castings as I've heard you can't go wrong with them. But can't decide on a fertilizer🙄😅
I can’t really make a video on it because I don’t have much experience. When I started my plant journey GT Australia was recommended to me and I’ve been using it since. It’s working so i won’t fix what’s not broken 🤷🏻♂️ sorry
Do you put the clear containers into ceramic pots? I know plant health is #1, but would that work? I just put soil into ceramic pots and use that. I can't see the roots obviously so now I want to replant them.
Yes I put the clear containers into decorative planters :)
What a massive cat
And by massive you mean massively cute right ?:P
Epipremnum pinnatum is an Australian native. Monstera deliciosa don’t grow wild in Australia.
I had no idea they were! Thanks for letting me know. Monstera d. definitely grow everywhere here in Sydney :D
@@sydneyplantguy the Epipremnum amplissimum ‘Albo-Variegata’ and ‘Aurea-Variegata’ both came from Australian native plants.
Epipremnum pinnatum ‘Aurea’ ( like the Goldilocks/Neon Epi. aurea, depending on the PBRs of the part of the world you’re in ) full Hypo- yellows also came from Australian native plants. The Epi. pinnatum ‘ Aurea-Variegata ‘ came from Indonesia. You have to know someone to obtain full Aureas. People like Kaylee Ellen ramp up the hype, inflate the value and then the plants are practically worthless. You’d be surprised what Australian Aroid growers have. I’ve even got high variegated Zz ‘ Ruby Raven ‘. The picture online aren’t high quality plants. As for the Monstera deliciosa plants everywhere it’s one of the main species used to teach meristem culture ( both flasking and replating ) to our undergrad students at UQ.
It’s not brain surgery 😅 That cracked me up 😂 no most of the time a bit of research and common sense goes a long way, but sometimes can feel complicated with all the different options and endless ways to do things 🫣 BUT yes we should have FUN! It’s meant for fun! 👏🙌
hey there, ive been trying to find a plant like that meroon 1 in the pic, unable to locate. wouldnt consider sharing with me - plse?🙃
Is that Billietiae at 4:12? I didn't know they used moss poles? I just removed mine since it didn't seem to be climbing it. :(
It is :) it climbs pretty slowly I believe so you don’t need one :)
What is the reason you let your cuttings dry before you pop in water?
To prevent rot :)
I just need the voodoo ritual/spell for getting rid of these f*ng mealybugs. 🤬
Please give subtitle..it will be easy to understand for us
There are subtitles available ?! 🤷🏻♂️ click on ‘CC’
Hi im from malaysia
Is it ok to have see though and roots getting too exposed to light and sun ?
I put the clear pots into decorative planter. Roots like darkness
Whoa, how did you get your oxalis so huge?
Lots of bright light, water, fertiliser snd most importantly, time !
What monstera deliciosa growing anyehere? Wow... Well its so hard to find here in india specially my region
Yeah my street is full of them 🥰
I wish i could teleport and get them
Terrific video! I wish it was easier to find larger see-through containers. I notice that your bigger plants are in small (to me) pots. Do you find those plants like to be somewhat pot bound?
And a request…let’s not call ourselves parents. As an adoptive parent, I know how hurtful it is for children to have adoption belittled. My daughter has been compared to a dog by a girl trying to understand adoption. We parent children, not plants or dogs.
Thank you & thanks for letting me know. Totally see you point, always learn something new 👍🏻 the pots are that small because most of the root system is within the moss pole itself :)
@@sydneyplantguy As a biological and adoptive parent to children as well as a plant parent. They all have the same goal raising something/someone into an amazing being just like you are doing! Love your plant babies 🌿💚 Ty for educating us and sharing your journey.
What size pot do you use for your moss poles?
Usually 13.5cm first, then 20cm when i extend them but as I said in the video, don’t get too caught up about exact pot sizes.
@@sydneyplantguy I was looking for more general information anyway. That’s definitely super helpful. I’m manly trying to think of what size clear pots to buy and what size pot would hold up a sizable plant.
Thank you man!!

I keep getting distracted watching Brad. 😂
Love Brad! 😻😻
I'm this earlyyyyy?????
Can you pass your light you use
I talk about it in my Ikea cabinet tour. It’s linked at the endscreen
When you start to see that your plant is start to climb??? My plants are not very interested
It depends on the plant, not all plants are climbers :)
❤❤❤💋😻💋👍👍👍😍😍
Best advice I've seen yet!! Growing plants is really an individual journey and it varies substantially from person to person according to their resources and environment. I draw most of my inspirations from you, Daryl (Houseplantjournal) and Paz (Paz_plantlife) but I have never really strictly followed any of your suggested methods. I'm just gathering materials that I can source locally and have had a lot of successes in the last two years!!
Thank you :) love the idea of getting inspiration rather than using my advice as a recipe
I am 75 and I continue to learn... 💚🌿 Love your thoughts they really are very beneficial.
Thanks :)
