- In this episode, I show off a wonderful specimen of aglaonema called the lotus delight, which was hybridized by sir Greg Hambali. I daresay this is the best looking aglaonema ever created. I share the full care tips and propagate this plant in many different ways. However, be warned that this episode contains deadly mistakes in propagation, resulting in devastating result. We learn most from mistakes, which is why I decided the show must go on, and to keep on filming till the very end. Find out what happened!

I'm glad you showed the whole process, it's refreshing to see someone being so honest about propagating
Thank you. Reminder to everyone: aglaonemas hate water
There's easier ways in water his is harder he even said the plant might die cause of no roots

As you said, plants can feel gravity. So don’t cut the stem under the soil line into pieces. Just rotate it 90° and put it back into soil, and you will have a plant from every sleeping eye bye time. Whenever a small plant has its own root system and has done some photosynthesis for its mother, you can harvest it. Another sleeping eye will wake then. This is much safer than doing those extremely short wetsticks.
Thank youu
Thanks Sean for showing us the good, the bad and the ugly🌷💚🙃
Thank you for this wonderful video. You are very brave, much braver than I think I would have been. Well done, nothing ventured, nothing gained. By the way, I have been growing plants for about 50 years, but have just started growing aglaonemas and you have taught me a great deal about them… and also to be brave! Thank you again. 😊
Thank you 🥰🥰
Wow! That was an extreme chop! No wonder you were so nervous! Thank you for this video!
You’re most welcome
What a beautiful Anglonema...
Thank you for sharing.Sean.
I screamed in pain when I saw you taking off all those leaves 😩😩. I grow a lot of Agloanema, they are my favorite and I have never propagated them this aggressively omg. Maybe it’s cause I don’t have the heart to do so. Lol . I just cut and stick inside water- leaves and all. ( they propagate best in water in my experience) and they root in a matter of days.
Your method gives you more plants but It’s a tad extreme 😩
Edit after fully watching: Next time just propagate in water directly. Cut the stem and put inside water. They have really thick and soft stems so they rot quickly when propagated in soil.
Thank youu. Actually I got greedy because of my aglaonema pictum tricolor video. Check it out in case you havent. Single node propagation was nearly 100% success there. Problem with this one is that both me and gardener overwatered it heavily.
Yup, that's Sean. Remember, he always says he's going to be greedy when he propagates. I just thought the plant was a bit young to propagate. But I try not to miss too many of his videos. He's so daring and that breeds his knowledge. A new plant person would love to watch his videos. Have a good one!
Where do you live that it roots in a matter of days? Mine took MONTHS and the roots are still taking their sweet time growing to any decent length 😩 tell me your secret! 😅
I was wondering if you could propagate in water, thanks for that!
How long in water does it develop roots?
Interesting to see another way to propagate. I recently water propagated my pink Agleonema from one single plant and ended up with four beautiful plants.I did not cut the plant leaves. I separated one plant and got 4 beautiful healthy plants. They are all potted up now and beautifulCharlene, Hilton Ny
Oh sweet… yes the safe way would be to separate offsets. I was not patient in this video. But if you see my aglaonema pictum tricolor video, the end result is much more satisfying.
Yes, they are gorgeous! I have a modest collection of aglos. ❤
So beautiful love the pink in the leaf
Sean you can also start plants with the leaves. If you look here on YT there is a man who puts a thin slice of potato on top of potting mix and lays the leaf on top. You cut the petiole/stem part off. I couldn't believe all the roots that came up underneath. I would imagine it takes longer but it's worth a try. I love your videos. Success or failure you manage to teach us valuable lessons & I appreciate your time and effort. What a gorgeous variety this one is 😍💚🌱🙏
Thank you 😀
Learn a few things on this one keep up the good work
This is so exiting for me to watch too, I’ve learned quite a lot from you and thank you… hello from UK! 👋 love your channel 😍
Thank youu
Looking forward to what you propagate next! My daughter’s favorite plant is a very pink Agleonema and this will help me to keep it pretty for her! I like the idea of just taking a top cutting for water propagation and letting the bottom branch out.
😀
Don’t be too greedy
Such a pretty plant . I am glad at least you still have one left.
I yeahhh I need to be patient again.
Thank you for sharing and OMYGOD, it's absolutely GORGEOUS, would love this one!! I have the Aglaonema Siam Aurora and need to repot them so thank you for sharing your knowledge!!😊🙏🏼🙏🏼
😀😀
I learned a lot about my aglaonema plant care. thanks 😊
😀😀
😢omg! It hurt my heart to see you chopping away at your gorgeous agleonema! 😢😢😢 - but, of course, I see the value in it. Very interesting to watch. Thank you. I’ve had two red/red-ish ones for 4-5 years now, if not longer, and only recently have I purchased several more, different varieties. They are all so beautiful! They have become some of my most priced plants!
❤️❤️
That's crazy that only the top cutting survived! I have had tremendous success propagating aglionima in potting soil. I'm sorry that happened... I know you were excited about having all those propagations!
Yeahhhh no more leaving cuttings out in the rain. That was not a smart move leaving them out and unattended
10:50 you are a mad man Sean
I love it
Haha thank youu
Thanks so much for sharing
wowww sooo pretty. You are so brave to chop it up haha. also i love your videos. I love how honest and informative you are. My favorite part is how you keep the updates in one video. Thanks for all you've shown us!!
Thank youuuu
Thank you for sharing! I now feel a bit confident propagating my aglaonemas. 💚🌿🌱
Yayee. Check out my aglaonema pictum tricolor video on how to do it properly. Reminder: they hate water
@@onlyplants i will! Got that! Thanks!
I love the little music in the background!!!!! It suits your charm lol 🤣🤣🤣
🥰🥰
Expertly done😃👍
Wow beautiful Aglaonema
Thank youu
Great video ! 🌿😊🌿 Plants are the best, specially the people behind them 🌿🤩🌿 You got a new sub from Denmark 🌿😊🇩🇰😊🌿☀️🌱
Thank youu
Thank you for the helpful video! This was so fun and entertaining to watching. You are so funny, “this one has a little face. How cute!” Hahaha 🤣 I agree, I love the little cuttings legs and face 😊
😅😅
Oh it was heartbreaking watching you chop up the plant. It was so beautiful. I wouldn't have had the heart to do that.
I learnt a lot from it though. Experience and knowledge is worth a lot ❤️
Would be cool to know the parentage, the base coloration with the lighter edges reminds me of the "lipstick" aglaonemas, but the veins going outwards from the middle are just like on aglaonema chocolate :)
Beautiful Lotus Delight...hybrid from Mr Greg Hambali...indonesia 🌱👍
Thank youu
Thank you again Sean
You were a daredevil this video!!
😅😅
Informative video.Learnt a lot from your mistakes. Thank you...Do show a video were you succeeded.I have tried using with two node cutting almost 1 inch peices with no success reason was the place was always moist.Nest will try keeping on tissue paper.
Do check out my aglaonema pictum tricolor video to see nearly 100% success on the aglaonema, you should be able to search for it in my channel under the plant name. 😀
I love your videos so much and i love how you get greedy!!😅
😀😀
I saw another vid of them doing leaf propagations and they did well with rooting hormones. I have proped the way you are a few months ago but not much happening yet .
The leaf should have a part of the main stem if Im not wrong… they can take a while to sprout 😀 hope yours will come to live soon
Sad story but many lessons re-learned
Yeah. Ill try again though!
Hmm interesting methods. I also propagate my aglaos but I didn't cut them in many pieces.
If done correctly I could have had lots of babies. Please watch my aglaonema pictum video to see success from this method 😀
Hi Sean, I wouldn't have cut that plant up at all because to me it was a young plant. It is a pretty plant though. When you said you were going to cut it up I was like what. I would have let that plant mature more. I have a peice of Ag a friend gave me and it is so slow to grow roots. It has a few more roots along the stem but yeah I ain't touch'n it until it gets real mature and full. Then I'll make another Ag. Yeah I was nervous with ya and then sad cause you lost everything save one peice. Yikes! your country sure has a lot of rain. But in truth babies have to be kept close to the bosom. You probably are going to buy another lotus Ag too. Happy Plant'n!
Hello, thank youu it was a good lesson for me and hopefully everyone 😀 Ill grow this one plant up so I wont be getting another. But these guys really thrive on the dry side and hate water. Something I need to remind myself of as I am a chronic overwaterer.
Wow from one aglaonema it become many s aglaonemas plans
thats my Number 1 most wanted plant on the list right now, so beautiful. But in Germany its to expensive for me, atleast 180$.
Yeahh they are still quite expensive here too. Thankfully mind is growing well now after the propagation fiasco
Do you plan or are you interested in doing videos about mineral substrate? It's the easiest way to make 99% of the houseplants happy in western world if you do it right and know what you're doing.
Keep your great work up, youre my best source for well-founded houseplant informations, care and news♥ @@onlyplants
Dode puedoconseguir esta aglonemi lotus gracias
Best og the Best videos
Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
What a pretty plant. Glad one of them made it. Don't be greedy! Lol
Haha or if I have to be greedy I better care for it like a VIP
I understand that this level of utilization of each node of the original stem is only possible in VERY humid environments. I understand that ONLYPLANTS takes it for granted, but for a novice it never hurts to say it.
Perhaps that is why ONLYPLANTS Aglaonemas are able to put out aerial roots: precisely because of the high humidity. That will be the indication of the feasibility of making such tiny cuttings. (In one drier environment I already confirm that you will not see any aerial roots.)
In a drier environment perhaps playing with a much more porous substrate and increasing waterings. But still, I highly doubt the viability of those mini-nutes in isolation.
EDIT: Okay, I didn't see the end of the video. Impressive. With the abundant amount of ambient humidity in Indonesia, and neither the stem cuttings nor the root cuttings thrived. So, if you have a drier climate, no experiments. Perhaps ONLYPLANTS will have more success with these mini-cuttings if you start them in September before the monsoons. Let's see if you can get a video of the attempt....
Yess. Actually I have a video on the aglaonema pictum tricolor and also the rotundum with much much more success. They are up on the channel. The key is to watch over your node cuttings like a hawk and make sure you dont neglect them. The humidity and water level is very important and a bit intuitive.
it's beautiful i want one but I'm killing to much agloas
What to work the charcole?
Not too.much sun,water 1x awk. Aireate soil. Love the color of mine. Fertilize fish based. Split up if pot gets crowded.
I have a reaaaally leggy aglonema that sits in the dark😥
great video! now i can try and be more confident to cut them up ahaha. but I'm still afraid it will rot if It's on my care. I love watering so much😂
Same here 🥲 I can’t stop watering plants
謝謝！
wah thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
❤️ beautiful
Thank you ❤️
I like that aglonema plants
Thank you 😊
Ohhhhhhhh myyyyyyyyy GAWDZ! I NEED ONE!
😀😀
Hahah I apologized to every leaf as you were cutting them too 😂
Hahaa ooops you learn more from silly things like these
lutos delight is still expensive in the Philippines.huh its really beautiful 🤩
❤️❤️
You need a scalpel instead of big scissor to cut Aglaonema stem in order to propagate them. Usually I don't cut the leaf/leaves because it will grow faster and yes, over watering is a big no no for such a small cuttings. Single node cutting is slow and risky, I usually do 2 or 3 node especially for small plant. Another way is to air layer those long stem. Your Lotus Delight is a good one, some are super small leaves and curly, doesn't look as good as yours.
Thank youu. Yesss I want to get those scalpels haha but havent gotten around to it. I was greedy I guess because my aglaonema pictum tricolor did so well with single nodes 🥹
Have you tried planting the leaves/ leaf cuttings?
Just the leaf? It will not sprout a plant without the main stem 😀
Sean, I believe Prof. Hambali said that Aglonema Rotundum from Aceh is one of Lotus Delight parents.
Woooh that would make sense, the stripes are quite similar. Sir Greg use a lot of Rotundum for his hybrids.
That's is nice propigate
Sir may I know if in your country you use rice hull as a potting media for aglaonema like in the Philippines?
Yes some growers use pure rice hulls. I prefer to mix it with different things 😀
Can you propagate each leaf as well? I saw a video showing you can propagate each leaf on top of the soil 🤔
You will need a node from the main stem with that one leaf
Por aqui enmedellin seconcigue y enque parte gracias
🙏🏽🙏🏽
When Sean pulls out the shears, I fear for all our lives.
😂 😂 ✂️
I need to edit in sinister music when I pull out shears lol
How about winter how to care for aglaonema plant?
Bring them indoors, and try to give good light even if it is artificial. Do not overwater indoors 😀
Can you propagate the leaves the you cut off?
Cant unfortunately, you would need a piece of the main stem with the leaf
Awwww… that was such a beautiful plant. I hate cutting my plants 😢
Hehe its already grown bigger than the original size now. I will cut it up again to keep trying 😀
@@onlyplants Ohhh I am sooo glad to hear that!!!
Thank you for sharing,can I have that one please
😅😅
I m from lahore pakistan , in summer its 49 temperature here, my all aglonima die, pl answer wh to do
Ooh it may be too hot for it, see if you can give it fan, or bring indoors.
do you ship to Canada? is there a website where I can order ? thank you
I dont sell plants 🥹 hope you find something near you.
My aglonema plant leaves turn dry how should I protect
Sometimes they turn dry because of overwatering too. Be sure to water correctly. They want to dry out completely between watering, but not for too long. Also direct sunlight can easily burn the leaves and crisp them.
Hi Sean,I've never really been a fan of these but that first pink one has changed my mind,gotta check to see if we can get these in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Hi! From NY. Ags are really nice plants. They are not fussy. Try these nice ones if you can find them, chocolate, tri color, Maria, Cutlass, one of my fav just because its long leaf. Hope you get to love them. Yes, that lotus is pretty too. But I would've waited until it was much more mature to propagate. Have a blessed year.
@@omaam1005 hi ya😁 i don't think we have them in NZ, i know we have a few but they arnt as pretty as that pink one😍
I don’t have the guts to chop off an Aglaonema like this 😂😮wow these are my babies. I’ve got 4 varieties thus far
Haha. i have another video titled aglaonema pictum tricolor filmed earlier with much success. I guess that success made me over confident 🥲
hi Sean, how much is this aglaonema in indonesia or thailand? just wondering about the price
Around 1.5 million in Indonesian currency. Never seen in Thailand before
What does the activated charcoal do😊
It sterilizes the wound, as it is highly anti-microbial
What kind of soil using?
They can live in many different soil mix. But always let them dry out completely between watering. They hate sitting in water
Hi!!! Nice video
What is scientific name of lotus delight??
It doesnt have a scientific name because it is a hybrid. The only name it goes by is the Lotus delight ❤️
Your survivor is beautiful.
Thank you. Its getting big now 😀 18 months later
Wow .I heard it can be propagated with a leaf cutting but I doubt it.aglonema gives me a hard time. Not thriving .dying not propogating well
You need a node with the leaf cutting 😀
I did like for my aglaonema but is become black and smile bad
💚💚
What do you do if you don’t have any charcoal
Cinnamon powder works, maybe fungicide, or iodine, or rooting hormone 😀
@@onlyplants I always use fungicide powder but I know many people use iodine solution.
How much watering your aglaonema?
Water it when the soil is 100% dry please. Its different every time so I dont really use a scheldule for watering.
very sad Onlyplants store is closed. wish i could buy that one cute baby aglaonema TT.TT
🙈
Good afternoon. Do you sell aglaonems all over the world? Or maybe you know those who sell and send by mail
Wooh I dont… unfortunately I dont know any exporters
I've had a lotus delight for a while and it has been miserable. 😭 it's only dropped leaves. Never grown one. Poor thing 😬
They really hate water haha
@@onlyplants I recently moved it to stratum and it's finally starting to perk up. Lots of new roots but no new growth yet. Gonna try to bump up the lighting and see if that helps!
it was difficult to watch you dissect that beautiful plant.
🫣
Hey Sean! Go see Kaylee, do a video together ❤
Oh man I would love to visit UK
@@onlyplants I believe, we as a community, would support your trip 😉🙏🏼 or she could come see you 😻 she's due for a visit your ways, been a while since she's gone on a trip 😅
So sad!!😢
The one surviving plant is quite big now 😀
Pir favor pongan la traducción en español, se les agradece.
😀🙏🏽
Went into this optimistic and ready to cut mine up. Now I think I'll leave her 😂
Sameeee. If sean had a hard time, i aint doing it.
Haha its actually easy but just dont let it get rained on and dont overwater it. Mine got heavy rain daily.
Its not that bad! As long as you can keep it out of the rain.
😄
Sean you are saying the genus wrong, it’s more like, uh-glon-a-ma.
Haha I must have picked it up from other youtubers. Will keep in mind! Thank you
@@onlyplants I’ve had a nursery from the eighties and studied at Kew. It’s a new thing the way people have been pronouncing it.
I love your plant channel Sean.
Onlin ....... Bíblia.....planta.... PLANTADA em ribeiro de água a qual dá o seu fruto na estação certa. Preste atenção sem exagero de água. Deus manda a chuva , o sol ,a sombra, tudo no ponto que a planta precisa.
I would say you're too brave to cut it in a very little cut so it had less chance to live. But thanks for doing it, so I got a lesson and won't do the same as you did. XD
actually check out my aglaonema pictum tricolor video. Technically speaking this lotus delight should have survived but I kept it out in the rain and forgot about them 😅 if I kept them indoors they would have made lots of babies
Wow, that was hard to watch. So sad you chopped up that beautiful plant to still only end up with one plant 😭
Its lesson well learnt. that one plant is actually quite big now… I may chop it up again and get it right this time!
@@onlyplants after watching your video I went to Walmart looking for plants and I found a Aglaonema siam aurora and a philodendron birkin. They had a couple damaged leaves so I got them for $10 each. When I got them home the Aglaonema siam aurora ended up being three separate plants. I was so excited 😃
@@onlyplants Oh I have a question. What is considered bright indirect light? Is it just anywhere in a room that is brightly lit?
Hi shawn I think u are greedy taking so much cuttings so it's less chance of survival
Yeahh I actually had a high success rate with my aglaonema pictum tricolor (video up on this channel) before and got too confident. This ones a bit harder than the pictum and also the daily rain did not help 🥲 I’ll try again though! I learnt a lot from this failure.
Everything is wrong with this. I knew these will die. Nodes for aglaonema should atleast be three. He could've propagated 2 pots. But what he did was too much. Save your money. Once you top cut leave the bottom cut as it is. So it can grow pups. Middle cut is optional if there's enough active roots. Top cut can survive even without roots as long as it has enough leaves and in a controlled environment.
Check out my episode on aglaonema pictum tricolor to see single node propagation success 😀 also the aglaonema rotundum episode. They can be propagated that way but you really need to keep your eyes on them like a hawk.
I see all the pretty ones are grown in SE Asia. Please send me some wet sticks, bestie. I’m in US.
Haha I wish it were that easy 😀 come down to asia when you can! 😀😀
Sayang banget Aglo "Lotus Delight"-nya mas,
Aglaonema suka air kok, tapi air itu penghantar mikroba (jamur & bakteri) apalagi ketemu media tanamnya mas Sean yg serba organik makin meningkatkan resiko busuk. Untuk Aglo mahal ada baiknya nggak boleh serakah dipotong per ruas kaya gitu, resiko busuk & matinya besar.
Juga untuk pucuk ngga papa disisakan beberapa daun walau ngga ada akar. Pucuknya bisa ditanam dengan metode semi hidroponik pakai pasir malang atau hidroton/leca
czcams.com/video/wjPjsJyg90A/video.html
Makasihhh. Ini overwatering sih.. karena banyak aglo pingsan parah tahun ini. Musim hujan mestinya February udah kelar tapi skrg masih hujan deras tiap hari. Harus pasang kanopi sihh.
Leaf murders 😄😄
