In a world of hourlong unboxing videos, of plant hoarding show offs, it is refreshing to see someone with selected plants to grow them big and make them thrive.
The shade 😅
This!!! I feel the same way. It's so nice (and inspiring) to see the big leaf journey.
Because of u I started doing moss poles and it has only been a week and my monstera adensonii (sp) has already rooted into the moss pole and put out a new leaf, it’s looks super happy so I wanted to say thank you so much. 😁
Happy growing :)
You're not boring us with your plant spotlights at all! All of your plants deserve to be in the center of attention every once in a while.
I really enjoy the progress pictures you showed in the video! Itˋs amazing having a reference of how small you got them vs. how big you managed to grow them.
I love the plant spotlights because it really focuses on a specific and really shows how they grow over a period of time. I LOVE them so don’t stop making them PLEASE!
Thanks :)
100% agree, seeing the progress of growth is a real incentive
I actually find focusing on one plant refreshing, I love what your producing and your right it is visually satisfying to a plant enthusiast. Your format is not rushed, extremely informative and you have photos of various milestones, personally I love it. Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks :)
Brad is everything 😭🤍
Im an unabashed follower of your moss poles.
My house is terribly positioned for light so all my house plants are outside in grow tents under dappled shade. I live in central Queensland which is sub tropical. It is presently 21c and 68% humidity.
My conditions are perfect for your moss poles and im seeing major results already.
None of your vids get boring.
Yay :)
Loving this series as is. Not just the plant porn, but with your experiences and journey’s it’s all interesting enough to have my diving for my phone when I get an upload notification. We want to see your plants… over and over!! How are your Anthuriums going in Oz winter?
Most of them are inside my cabinet so they aren’t really experiencing winter :) thank you
Absolutely love your content, I really enjoy you showing every stage of the plants growth. I’d love to see your prop bins! 😍🌱
I’ve just purchased a baby splendid with 1 leaf for $10 and I’m hoping to grow it as big as yours. You’re a huge inspiration!
I hope to copy exactly what you do with your trailing plants. Thank you for sharing your journey with each plant.
Love your content and showing us the whole journey of the plants, before and after!
Many hugs to Brad 😻😻
Definitely not boring!!! I learn something useful with every one of your videos! Absolutely beautiful Splendid 🥰Thanks for sharing.
Thanks :)
Keep doing what you do! I’m starting the moss pole journey this weekend 👏🏻. Thanks for all your education and experience. Brad is so handsome 🪴🐈
Thank you for sharing your cat with your audience. Your plants are magnificent too🙂
I just ordered a baby Splendid, and this is soo helpful for me, I am so excited to watch it grow!
LOVE this plant! + the consistent uploading🤴🏽🪴🙏🏼
Jan, say what comes to mind. You are so very helpful and easy to listen to all you say. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you:)
You are so cool 😎
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us
💚💚💚
Hi, and keep up the great work!
All your plants are pristine! Thanks for addressing the point of how hybridization often improves some of the challenges of parent plants(I've found both of those parents to be very sensitive 😒)
Dude your videos make me want to go out and get all these philodendron's !!!
also I first thought your cat's name was Bread
Haha close enough :D
Boring, Never. I love your channel just as it is. I look forward to watching all of your videos. You have the best plant channel on CZcams that I've seen. Keep up the great work.
Thank you :)
Love the plant spotlight. Can’t wait for the one on your melanochrysum!
I was just directed to this video from your Instagram q&a response to my question. It was not boring in any shape or form! I could listen to you talk about plants all day! Thank you so much for sharing your experiences while still remaining so humble and personable.
P.S. thank you for mentioning Hannah Montana :’D
Your Splendid is to die for.
Thanks :)
Top plant I still want to get! The glorious too! Nice to hear less pests :)....I know I will kick myself I did not get one sooner.....love that you started with one leaf...20 months of pure joy!! Never boring...esp for people who do not know much about philos....see you next time!
Don't stop the spot lights. Keep going!!
I am hopeful that my newly purchased splendid with two leaves will be grown as huge as yours soon. ♥️
I think we all just love seeing your plants
Here for the plants but stay for your subtle humor :)
Love it! Seeing the plants is great. Hearing you talk about your experience is great too. I’ve been holding off on verrucosum and splendid because of pests so I’m definitely trying a splendid now. 🤘
A video on your process of developing the cuttings would be interesting. How you chop up new plant, how to root them, developing secondary roots, when ready to pot, how to pin on pole, how to organize more than one on a pole, and a more extended version of you chopping up the base pole to make more cuttings (do you chop them while on the pole? do you really need to take the moss pole apart?) etc. Would also be interesting to see 6 month updates on your spotlight plants!
I enjoy your videos so much! 👍🏻💕🔔
Maybe show us a day of maintenance like how you clean the leaves etc
Awesome video! I love plant spotlights! I would also like to see more tutorial and routine videos because I’ve been growing my vines in poles for also a year now but I’ve never had them grow that big! I’d like to see how you fertilize, supplement humidity, etc, general everyday stuff you do would be great to know :D
Thanks :) planning on filming something similar soon :)
@@sydneyplantguy you’re awesome! Excited to watch your future videos! ❤️
I got my splendid cutting a few weeks ago. I'm excited to see where this could possibly go with lots of love care and patience
You could never be boring even if you tried ❤
0:33 those shy nibbles and Brads look when he thought you'd addressed him were hilarious.
Thank you soooo much for these Videos
Love it..seein if my local nursery has one waitin on msg bck from them....they had one and got it and lookin foward to the growth😊
Great inspiration! I have two Splendids, with two leaves each, grown from wet sticks. I really appreciate your info, and pics of your Splendid's journey. My two plants, one with about 4" leaves, the other with 2-3" leaves... will be potted with a moss pole. Size of pot? I can still use help with that. I've never grown a plant from a wet stick, it's pretty cool. Thank you for doing such wonderful, informative videos.
I have to make some of those poles. I would like to try growing orchids on one as well
Your Hannah Montana comment killed me 😹 love your videos (and plants and Brad) so much!!! This was my favorite video so far because it shows your personality and humor more than the others. Thanks for being you! 💚🪴💚
Thanks :)
Thank you for this vidéo 💚🇫🇷🙏
Beautiful!! Can you talk about your melanochrysum next? Thank you!
Wow awesome
Great video! Splendids are so beautiful. I really hope I can get mine to look as lush and huge as yours one day!
The zoom in on Brad 🥰
Thank you for all the inspiration. I love watching your videos and I get envoius of your lighting conditions 😍(I live in Sweden and it's basically dark for half a year during winter 😅😂). Anyhow! I'd love to know if you keep larger climbers such as Monstera Thai on poles too?
The thai doesn’t really need one :)
Thank you very much! I believe some more close-up shoots of the plant would do better. E.g. stem, leaves, roots, petioles.
As you are reading comments, I thought I could squeeze in some more insights. There is a couple of things that cost almost no effort but upgrades video quality by orders of magnitude:
1. Write a simple script to shorten the narrative and improve "info per sec" parameter, which is right now a bit on the lower end;
2. Instead of explaining your conditions in every video towards the end, I'd put a slide with all the information, namely humidity 60-70% all year, north-facing window in Sydney, Australia, watering only pole every 2 days etc. This would save your effort, viewers time, and would also be more precise than improvising with words (hopefully this sentence makes sence, Eng is not my native);
3. Some more close-ups to see the current plant state and details better.
I should stress again, your experience is a blessing for the community, my sincerest gratitude.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing 😊
Beautiful!
I still can’t believe I was ur 12 subscriber
Never boring,never repetitive! Brad is so cute! Is that oxalis? How did you get it so lush? What kind of soil is it in?
It's in 50%perlite 50% coco peat. Give it bright indirect light & time :) mine is over two years old
Thank you
I have my Glorious !!!
Could you please make a video on Pothos/Money Plant?
Love all your videos and would like to see your prop bins also.
I love my Splendid so much..😍 and yours is stunning..I was wondering if you had more than one vine on your pole, but I can see its just the one. I intend to propagate the bottom pole once I do my first chop and extend, (sh's quickly getting to the top of the extension) and pot up at least 3 vines on a new pole. I think it will look so lush and beautiful
Sounds like a good plan :) happy growing :)
Your hannah montana quote killed me
😂😂
You expressed concern that the spotlights may be repetitive. Personally, i like hearing about each plant you have. Buy, something that could help to spice up each spotlight would be more B-roll panning over the plant in great detail. Give us the plant p0rn we crave! 😁
Love that idea :)
I'm maybe a little bit late to the party but this is a great video and series, the videos aren't too long and you have detailed info elsewhere about generic things. I definitely agree with what you said about conditions varying, even people in the same city may have completely different conditions! You should think about doing some close comparison videos, i.e Glorious vs Splendid, I think it can be hard to see the differences in detail online when choosing between them. I'm sure there are others that could be done too :) You've gotta love some plant porn!
نباتات جميلة جدا
Great video! Was curious about this plant
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE HYBRID RULE NOW BECAUSE OF THAT HANNAH METAPHOR
The spot lights may be similar, but they are still informative and enjoyable to see the plant growth progress. I look forward to seeing videos from you.
Question, did you get your Oxalis fully grown at the large size it currently is or did you grow it from corms? I planted about 15 corms into a pot around 2 months ago and it isn't nearly as full as yours...yet.
It started as just one corm 2 years ago. You just need to stay patient :)
@@sydneyplantguy oh, maybe I shouldn't have planted so many corm in one pot. Oops. Thank you!!
I’ve had a splendid for almost a year now and it just reached the top of my pole and leaves are as big as yours. I have low humidity about 30-40% average these plants are so resilient and gorgeous! You’ve taught me so much thank you and keep it up please 🙏 🪴🥰
Brad is just a tad cuter than you are! Love the videos ❤️
Never boring and never repetitive but can you please show how you mix your feeding and fertilizing and amounts of water that would be very helpful
I show it in my watering moss pole tutorial. Basically 5ml of liquid fertiliser ber litre of water once a week. The brand is in the description :)
i got the tiniest wetstick of a juvenile one 2 months ago and now it has 4 tiny leaves the size of a coin and just came out of the growbox. We'll see
Plant Goals!!!!Will be putting several of my climbers on moss poles so I can have large statement plants....what is your fertilizer method?are you using anything other foliage focus?
No just foliage focus :)
Ok Thanks Plant Guy Going To Give It A Try!!!!😃
Your splendid looks really really splendid. Mine always gets yellow on the edges of the older leaves and I've got absolutely no clue why. She's in a very chunky mix, on a moist moss pole and the leaves are sizing up extremely quickly, so I'm assuming she's in very good conditions.
Maybe it’s a humidity thing 🤷🏻♂️
@@sydneyplantguy Don't think so, she's at constant 55% like all my other plants and they're all doing good. I rather think it might be a fertilizer thing or something like that. Or maybe because I always mix my tap water with RO water (50/50) and my tap water is a bit hard. Not sure, still love them though, my fav. Philo hybrid.
💚
I'd love a spotlight vid on the Philodendron Martianum (Fat Boy) if you can...yours looks amazing and mine is struggling so would appreciate all the 'tips' you can provide. Thanks, Connie 🙂
I don't really have that much to say about it. I water it very infrequently (maybe every 3 weeks max) and give it a lot of bright light :)
I started my plant journey late, last year, so I am still learning and absorbing all the information I can get. You have been an inspiration, and I consider you to be extremely knowledgeable in plant care.
I do have an issue I would like your input on, if possible. I live in South Florida so all of my ‘indoor’ plants are outside and most are doing well, particularly my philodendrons and pothos. But I’m having such a difficult time with easy, generic anthuriums. I’m dying to get a clarinervium or crystallinum but if I can’t get a simple, generic anthurium to thrive what can I do to get one of those to survive, much less thrive? Halp. Advice pls.
Abt me:
1. overwaterer usually ok because everything is outside and it’s hot and water evaporates quickly here and standing outside just hosing down your plants is fun.
2. Underfertilizerer because I have given my plants fertiliser burn before.
3. occasional neglectful plant parent because, well, life.
4. I like dragging my plants out onto the front entryway patio for rain when I can
5. I don’t like dragging them back into the shade and they got sunburnt once.
Thanks :) Don't overthink it :) give it a try & see if they are happy :) Your conditions in south florida should be perfect. Anthuriums love humidity but they don't tolerate drying out like a pothos or monstera would.
@@sydneyplantguy ok, I think I’ll pull the trigger, next time I see one on sale. Ironically non-commercial nurseries that specialise in houseplants are few and far between in my area even though I literally live 10 mins away from the big boy, box store supplier, Costa Farms. Orchids and landscaping plants are around every corner though.
Can you please do a video of you adding cuttings to the base of an existing plant?
I just add the cutting when i repot the plant anyway :)
Could you please do a video on the Manjula pothos I'm having trouble with browning on some leaves, love all your videos, I've just made 6moss poles and want to attach my Manjula on one ta
Check out the video where I pop my monstera subpinnata on a moss pole. The process i follow is always the same :)
Thank you for replying, I've attached it to a moss pole fingers crossed
❤️❤️
Thank you . Please continue your journey.
It is very pleasing yo go through your video.
Please tell us nutrition what and how you do -frequently. Can we buy plant from you please?
Thank you :) worry i don’t sell Q&A while making Moss Poles - Fertiliser, Pest Treatment, Moss Poles etc

Wouldn’t be awesome to have an apartment with really high ceilings and loads of light and try and grow the plants to 3 meters …..dream we can 😊
Yes 🥰🥰
Hi! Thank you so much for showing all the techniques and tips, they are realy realy useful. I'm sure you have a philodendron melanochrysum but I haven't seen you showcase it yet. I'm curious about the melano because I have one but have not had much success with it. Please make a video about it if you have one and have tips to share. So curious to hear!! and thanks again :)
It’s in my houseplant tour part 2. Melanos seems to be one of the harder species and I haven’t had too much success with them either but will definitely make a video on it eventually :)
Love watching your content. I want to attempt your method with a golden pothos, because the mature leaves look stunning in photos. However, I'm finding it quite difficult to locate the pots & hardware cloth in the same dimensions you describe. Finally found the hardware cloth, still not having luck with the pots. If any of the products you use are available for online purchase, maybe you could include links to purchase at some point down the road?
Hey, i buy all my products locally in shops, sorry :/
I have a Splendid cutting that was 1 leaf. That one eventually died off & it it grew another single leaf. I have it in spag moss, so maybe I should put it on a pole 🤔 It's doing nothing 🤷🏾♀️
I really love your video's. I'm just starting with Monstera's, Phylodendron's ... after been "into" orchids (because I had a greenhouse, now I don't) and Passiflora. What puzzels me is the determination of the different species (not only the variaty's 🙄). How can you tell it's a Philodendron, Epipendrum, Monstera, etc. are there any good resources??
There probably are but I just learned over the last 3 years. Most of my knowledge comes from instagram or youtube & talking to other plant collectors. Not sure if there is a comprehensive guide but ultimately, the name of the plant doesn’t really matter. I grow them for their looks, not for their name :)
@@sydneyplantguy You're correct. But I have some "old" plants and I really don't know what they are. The just look nice ;-) Thanks for this new addiction!
Not bored at all! And is there anyone here that doesn't enjoy plant porn?
Beautiful plants! They’re clearly loving life ☺️ Is it your experience that coco poles won’t give mature leaves? Moss poles are essential for this kind of growth?
Not essential but give you the best chances in an indoor setting
Kudos for remembering all the plant names! 😂
I have just found you? Wow I Changes for me & my philodendrons where do u get your pots from please ? Thank you
I get them from Bunnings :)
“Like our friend Hannah Montana said, they get the best of both worlds” 😂
How much plants you have in this pod? It looks really nice😊
Just 1:)
Your plants are sooo beautiful. Unbelievable. I wanted to set up a moss pole for my Adansonii but I have one question: how do you work with moss poles if you have pests? I can imagine that they like to hide in the moist moss. Do you also treat the moss via watering or something?
I haven’t noticed the pests being attracted to the moss poles at all 🤷🏻♂️ so no difference in treatment to non-moss pole plants :)
@@sydneyplantguy thank you for your fast reply. Then I'll definitely give my Adansonii one. Can't wait to see how well it takes to it
What do you mean by chop and extend? You chop the plant and then let it extend on its current most pole? (So it takes longer for them to take over their moss pole?)
Check out my Moss Pole Playlist. I have a tutorial specifically on my Chop & Extend process :)
Ive a question, do you think it growing on a bamboo pole or something solid would give the same results? Im trying to avoid putting moss in a pole. Thank you
No, moss is a growing medium, bamboo is not
May I try to grow mcdowell and glorioso to the moss poles? I really feel perplexed why splendid and glorious can climb the mosspole while mcdowell and glorioso can only stay in stray pots....
Not all plants are the same, and not all have the same growth pattern. Some are terrestrial (crawlers) some are climbers. Mcdowell & gloriosum will not climb up a mosspole. Check out this video: My crawling Philodendrons - gloriosum, pastazanum, plowmanii etc. - growing large aroids indoors

Who is Kevin?:D
@@sydneyplantguy my bad. Meant Brad. Lol
So with the large pole and a small cutting, what size pot do you use? I know you say in one of your videos that you only use 20cm pots, but do you start smaller, like when the plant is a small cutting?
Thank you
When I first give it a pole I put it into a 14cm pot and then repot it into a 20cm pot once i extend the pole :)
@@sydneyplantguy that’s great 😊 thank you for reply… spent hours yesterday making poles 😆 🪴
Its Repetitive But Im Not Here For Information Im Here To Watch The Beautiful Plant And Just Look At It I Suggest Making An ASMR Just Showing The Plant
You live in Australia that’s how!
Australia is a large place with climate ranging from tropical to arid ;)
What size pot do you tend to put these in with the moss pole?
14 cm first & once I extend the pole I repot into 20cm
How do you prevent your cat from eating your plants, especially the toxic ones?
I do nothing :) brad is just not interested :P
