My Peace Lilly murder rate 100%. So I stopped and got another hobby. Drinking. By an open drafty door in direct sunlight. Hope I don't turn green,,,,,,,,
@@oneeyedjack8806 😅
I find it incredulous that these are the only 10+ minute videos that keep me entertained all the way through. I don't watch any other channel with such long videos. Well done @SheffieldMadePlants.
Wow, thanks!
I’ve had a Peace Lilly for 23 years. It was in one of those house warming baskets with other plants. I’ve only repotted it twice and have never fertilized it 😮😊. I’ve kept it together with a pothos and a Dieffenbachia (dumb cane) plant and it only blooms sporadically but mostly in the Spring and Summer. She is kept in the brightest room of the house. I feel pretty lucky not have any issues. 🤞🏼
Sounds good 👍
You sound like my niece I’m envious 😊
Blessings 💜💚
I've had mine since my first year of Uni, 1995. It's huge. Flowers twice a year, white flowers which turn green with age. The reason they do better in shops is a specific acid causes them to bloom more.
Posted 24 seconds ago? My insomnia in Vancouver, BC, Canada has me here early, lol! I call my Peace Lily the Drama Queen. One minute she's fine, the next she's fainting like a Southern Belle in the August Mississippi heat. 😄
I'm also in Vancouver BC 😂 but no insomnia last night, I was too tired because of all the previous nights I couldn't sleep.
Sounds about right 😂
@@SheffieldMadePlants And by the way, your video came in a perfect time, I have a plant similar to Peace Lily but with pink "flowers". Some of them are turning green. Thank you for your recommendations, I think the problem in my case is light. I have Sansi lights but I think the plant is too far from it.
I had just gotten into plants and stumbled upon your video one day. Ended up binge watching your channel. Me and my boyfriend watch your videos every night together. Your content is so relaxing for both of us as we both have very busy days. We’ve learned a lot these past few weeks!🙂 keep making videos❤️
That is awesome!
I love all the info you give, while injecting humour. Good job!❤
Thank you!
each one of these videos is getting more and more unhinged and i'm here for it
😂😂😂
I found a Peace Lily called 'Platinum Mist' at my local nursery. Big bonus on this variety is that the "blooms" are extremely fragrant, like a gardenia!
You are at the top of your game here, very humorous. I've only ever kept these peace lilies alive, after being gifted one. But your green flowers/spathes are really cool, and I want that look. You should consider selling them as a new species. You give lots of valuable information here for many house plants. My favorite is using water conditioner which I began immediately after watching that video. Your humor and rare valuable green flowers make this video worth watching more than once.
Thank you very much!
Totally agree 👍
I have been in the plant world for decades. You are coming up with information I can use. Thank 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
My pleasure 😊
I followed your wonderful suggestion of getting rid of the bottom of the plants and my Peace Lily immediately thanked me with 5 blooms! My plant is 15 years old and huge- it took 2 of us to move it to the bedroom balcony to get the stones and bottom several inches off! This plant sits on the floor in front of a shuttered window that is tinted. I have the shutters open a few inches and it is happy being near the South facing window. I'm in Southern California. With our extreme heats I often tilt the shutters up to allow light but not the scorching heat of the sun to come in. I do not water unless the soil is dry 1 inch down
Glad it worked out nicely 👍
Me and my peace lily are at...peace lol.
It gave me major headache for a while so I stuck it under a grow light for a few months to help it get established and build some serious roots/foliage. Now, it's in a Shady spot and doing well. I don't ask for blooms, and it doesn't ask for much maintenance
They love a grow light 👍
Very creative graphics and humor. Who would have thought a plant video can be so fun! Thank you.
Thanks!
My Peace Lilly is growing in my fish tank, doing quite well too. looks loads better than when my mum gave it to me. Wash all the soil off the roots then dangle them in the fish tank. Removes nitrates from the water. Happy plant. happy fish.
Great stuff 👍
Great balance of informative and humorous content. Thanks, mate! Keep up the good work! I need all the help being a plant parent I can get.
Thanks, will do!
The flowers always start out white for me, then turn green before they die and dry out. :P When it doesn't bloom, I don't really care. I love the thick green foliage.
i don't encourage flowers either. they just drop pollen everywhere. but i love my plant
I like the flowers you see
@@SheffieldMadePlants you're so "normal" :)
After watching your video re water conditioner and the humble Peace lily, I repotted all 3 of mine into fresh potting mix, removing all the leaves with the offending brown tips - needless to say there were very few leaves left 😂 ! I diligently tested the soil with a water meter before watering with conditioned water, and voila, no brown tips, lots of new growth AND one plant is producing a "flower" 😊. Thank you for the great tip on water conditioner 👏
Great stuff 👍
I had this plant, I kept in a corner of my dining room, the sun never hit it, only day light, she let me know when she needed a shower. (I only showered it) The plant grew so big, then it started blooming these long stems with white flowers with orange in the middle, the leaves were always green, it was beautiful! I moved and couldn’t take it with me, so I gave it away! Hope she is still as beautiful!
It's little moments like these that keep me coming back:😂
9:46 " Making your plant repeatedly get on its knees and beg for water before waterboarding it... "😂😂💕😂 Because: 🙋♀️
Richard for my indoor plants, Laura for my outdoor garden. CZcams did me right.
Hehehe glad you liked it!
lol! me too! i spit coffee at that one.
Internet comment of the month..
🤣🤣🤣
🏆🏆🏆
You out did yourself with this video. You really don't have any competition when it comes to making funny videos. Well done.
Thank you 😊
I'm so lovin' your new way of doing your videos!! So entertaining and still very informative. You know how I get my peace lily to bloom again? Just like with a poinsettia. I move it to a lower light situation for a couple months, then bring it back to a higher light location. She will bloom then. I told you I nearly lost my 22 yr. old peace lily and now she's doing great and has grown so very much. She's bloomed a couple times for me. I haven't bothered to move her lately though. Love these videos Richard. You are king!!!
Awesome thank you 😁
People make the mistake of buying this plant and then immediately repotting it into a pot too big for the root system. They like snug pots but people think 'I'll put it in this big pot so it can GROW'. But that gives it too much soil and takes too long to dry out = slow death.
Same logic applies to most houseplants 👍
I always look forward to your fun & informative posts; learned a lot. You may have changed your advice since you posted this 5 years ago. In that case… sorry. But, at least for new listeners, I have to add this. With Peace Lilly’s, even in the healthiest plants, the pure white bloom ages. As it does it does, it greens, always. The high fertilizer and/ or low light can hasten it, but it will turn green. As for me, when mine are fully green, I pull the bloom downward & easily remove it. That leaves a new & interesting look to my plant for another week or 2. I’m leaving the center piece on the stem. It is lovely! When it shrivels, I cut the stem & wIt for new blooms. ❤️
Interesting. That doesn't seem to happen with me. They turn brown and die off rather than green unless something is wrong
Love your sense of humor , thank you so much for sharing all these great tips. I just got my first Peace Lily and I am eager to learn all about her !
You bet!
Thank you so much Richard, I really really enjoyed listening to you talk about the peace lily and the different things you need to do to make it happy. As always your videos are very informative and helpful too. Your videos are so entertaining too. Please stay safe and well too xxxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😊 you too
Yes exactly! This was peace lily therapy! Super helpful.
Loving that you finally did a peace lily video-I take cuttings and grow them and give the plants to my family with one rule- either cooled boiled water or treated water once a week and they’re fine-please could you think about doing an Anthirum video soon though pls🙂
I’ll add it to the list 👍
Thank you, perfect timing to come across this video. I rescued an almost dead peace lily from a friend, it came back really fast by repotting and living on the floor of my shower and shot out four or five beautiful white blooms. Then they died off and it has only managed two green ones since.
Hope it helps 🤞
Perfect timing! My mom got me a peace lily a few weeks ago and it was looking tragic. I pruned it and repotted it and now I'm just hoping for the best. I put it into a glass pot, mainly because I bought the pot because it was pretty and then realized that I can't put just any plant into a glass pot with one tiny drainage hole. Hopefully it likes the pot because the only other candidate for that pot is a hibiscus
Sounds nice in a glass pot 👍
Peace Lily (AKA funeral plant) are my easiest plant. I keep them in a northern window or in fairly low light areas and only water when they start to droop. I also move my huge ones outside in summer. They just went through a week of 100°/37° with no issues. They bloom regularly with lovely white blooms. (It must be based on length of day as they all do it at about the same time.) One tip you didn't mention is that they like to be crowded in the pot. They don't bloom after repotting until they fill in.
Thanks. I’ve not noticed that but makes sense
"Funeral plant"! I love it!!
I actually grow mine in water and no soil at all. It's about 10 years old now. It does bloom with white spathes, but not all that often. I usually get one or two blooms per year. But I actually like the foliage better than the 'flowers' so that's not a problem for me.
I had one in water. Was doing well
You're so much help 😊. I love you're videos. I have a wonderful plant, its starting to have BROWN TIPS. very small one's. Over all I'm not complaining. Thank's again for your videos. I'M B BACK. Columbia SC.
You bet!
My peace lily and variegated one are currently blooming finally! Just one each but hey-ho, it’s a start! 😊
Both set just back from an east facing window.
Nice!
Mine's been struggling on a west window for a while now and this week I moved it in front of an east-facing window and it is so much perkier. Definitely doesn't like the window open - I could feel it flinching 🤣 I'm hoping it will gloss up again and maybe even bloom 🤞🏼
This guy is just great, funny and helpful😂❤
Thank you 😊
Oh, and I enjoy your content very much. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much!
My peace lily is blooming now (January) in Anchorage, AK. I got it in 2012. I fertilize it maybe once a year and repot it every two or so. I’ve also divided it a bunch. It was my first houseplant.
Was my first one too
I love my 4 peace lilies. Absolutely love your videos!
Thank you 😊
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your creative content and plant knowledge! :D
My pleasure 😊
I have this plant and always bloom..easy look after/growing my favourite ❤️
Great 👍
I have one green "blossom" on my plant. Its quite a big plant and I have considered reporting it. It gets fertilizer once a month, lots of morning sunlight but I still have brown tips on the leaves. I use a water meter and its really helped all my other plants but my peace lily not so much! I really enjoy your videos!!!
Have you considered water conditioner for the brown tips?
I found a diamond peace lily on the "brink of death" or so I thought at Lowe's all it needed was some water. I have been constant with the water and it's under a grow light with it's other peace lily friends and even left a terracotta spike in with a wine bottle of water it when I was on vacation and it hasn't been droopy since. No blooms of course but it looks beautiful as ever. Even has new growth to boot. My first one is on the mend but still struggling some. My platinum one is still looking good as well. I definitely have learned something since watching your videos
Great stuff 👍
Love this! Great humor! helpful & informative💐
Thanks!
I LOVE your content! Very good advice!!!
Thanks very much.
I appreciate that!
Solid plant advice and British wit to boot? I'm so there!!
😁
I inherited my mother's peace lily. It looks happy and has new growth. I do however have it in my sunroom which is a room that has 11 almost floor-to-ceiling windows. It does have a few brown tips though. No blooms.
That's a lotta light!
This was SO FUNNY but oh so TRUE!!! The plant is a diva but I keep trying to make it happy. Gonna watch more of you vids for the help and for the laughs!! 😂 Thank you
Thank you 😊
Hahahhaa you make me laff! I have a Peace Lily for about ten years and every summer/autumn I get two sets of three white spaths/flowers. My pride & joy. I read somewhere that many stop growing at about 45cm in height. Mine is definitely an adult royalty in ma house whom I saved from sitting next to the garbage bin a third of the size now if even. Thank you for all the tips! Edit: I bought a sad, tiny Flamingo Flower in a tiny pot the other day with two "flowers" who already look very very sad lol. Couldn't find any video searching for the plant. Tips would be well appreciated. I think for now I will start with a slightly bigger pot.
As always a excellent video. Thank you.
My pleasure 😊
Ok this was the best video I have seen! I am trying to get my green thumb. I laughed the entire time like a comedy show! Thank you for sharing! New subscriber here!
Awesome thank you 😁
Thank you for helping me come to terms with the fact that my Derbyshire cottage just isn't and never will be a rainforest fit for lush green leaves all the way to the tip. I needed to hear this. I accept it is an unobtainable pipedream. I can live free of the guilt of not being Amazonian at last! 🎉🤸♀️
Amen!
I always feel you are the fly on the wall checking I on my house plants😅
😂
Gutted. I bought a peace lily just under a week ago because I heard they do quite well in low light. I just went and looked at it and yup, one of the flowers (whatever) is going green. Just moved it nearer the window and replaced the darker spot with a Devil's Ivy.
I would say that most UK houses don't have a vast amount of light and you can't cram everything onto the windowsills.
I move all of mine to the floor in front of the patio doors in the day but it's kind of weird - like you're taking them on a trip or something.
I can tell you now though, if that plant starts playing up, it's out. I've got loads of others who will behave themselves so new peace lily, you have been warned!
Also, your recent videos have been really funny and I've sooo enjoyed watching them. The one where you whispered "subscribe" right at the end was ace.
Thank you! You’re spot on about light in this country. We’re not blessed
I have one that was just getting uglier and uglier, so I put it on a table outside to get it out of my sight. The local squirrels (gray rats) dug it up mercilessly until I put some hefty rocks in the pot. It started putting out lots of new growth and now that it's fall, it's blooming - with several white flowers! And, it's still outside in fifty-degree weather.
Sounds good 😁
Your videos have me watching twice...
Once for info with me actually laughing loud enough I miss content
Second time to hear all content and still chuckle...
I absolutely love your videos...
Great to hear thank you 😊
I love your channel and knowledge thank you for sharing❤❤😍😍
Thank you 😊
I’m obsessed with spaths! thanks for the video!
You bet!
My mom is a massive plant killer, I must have taken it from her 😆. But she has the most amazing Peace Lily ever 😍. She even makes little lillies babies and they thrive as well.
She almost killed it until she put it in the bathroom with a big window but not direct sunlight. It's a wet bathroom, ones that have a drain on the floor. Since then this plant is thriving in a way I've never seen it anywhere else.
Like the sound of that
the humor is perfect
Thanks!
I found an abandoned peace lilly last week, this video shall be useful
👍👍👍
I actually like the foliage a lot more than the blooms...
Look for self-watering pots with wicks to slurp up the water from a reservoir. My peace lilies are loving the pots I have them in. So much so that I had to divide them up. I got a set of 6 from that Amazon place and they've been brilliant. The only downside is lack of choice of design. Also, watering with rainwater will help with the brown tips.
Great tip thanks!
Mine is soooo dramatic… she matches my weird. I’ve had her for 5 years and slowly learned her quirks. Now one of my Crown Jewels
You were able to sneak Tina Turner into your video! Hilarious and Bravo!
😂😂😂
For years I resisted buying this plant as I knew nothing about it. Although I had a feeling those nice white blooms would not be re-blooming that much. One day while in the supermarket I saw they had ones in 4" pots and under $10 so I figured, why not. All was find for the first few months, but since they it's been a constant battle between blooms that rot before they open, black leaf ends and drooping leaves. I finally took it out of soil and put it in water. It was doing pretty well but I realize it hasn't really grown in all the time I've had it. While in water, it started out well. No more droopy leaves but also no blooms and the ends still turn black. No matter what "light" it is getting, it is not happy. I am kinda sick of it, TBH!
Might need a hydroponic feed
This is very informative and funny 😂😂😂
Thank you
❤🇿🇦🇿🇦
Glad you enjoyed it!
love the humour with the advice
Cheers!
I just rescued a bone dry, droopy peace lily from a big box store. I knew I could rely on Mr. Sheffield to advise me on how to care for this interesting plant. The roots were tightly compact but not rotten, so I loosened them up and replaced the soil. I gave it a good drink and put it in a sunny window. Still green, still alive, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed it’s not to late.
Great stuff 👍
@@SheffieldMadePlantsFollowing your great advice, my peace lily looks like it’s on its way to recovery. Thanks!
You are simply the best 👍
Wow thank you!
Thank you! You saved me from wanting this drama queen...just lost my 6 year old desert rose! 😢 saved the branches too propagate, but my heart feels they will die too...still not over the loss.
Hopefully they should root
I love having a question, searching it, and getting legitimately happy and relived that Mr Sheffield has of course already answered 😂
Just bought a young peace lily from fb marketplace yesterday, honestly this has become a new addiction. But. Its replaced bad ones. I wish I'd gone to the green side way earlier
That’s the great thing about it
Excellent video! Thank you! I kind of like those green flowers! They look cool :) Mine gave me a single white bloom earlier this year, and it was beautiful! 😍 but it only lasted a few weeks and I thought I was doing something wrong but then I learned that the flowers die. I hope for more blooms next year.
It can be hit or miss for sure
Great video! Thank you❤️ and you are very funny 😂
Thank you! 😁
This intro was spot on!!! Mine is a giant drama queen
Haha overwaterers anonymous, they should have a plant in the middle so they can water it together with their tears
😂😂😂
We have two peace lilly’s - we only thoroughly water when the leaves droop , within hours they sit up lively and it will be up to 4 weeks before watering again. Ours don’t get the wonderful amount of light yours do but we have had white flowers regularly albeit only a couple at a time. The peace Lilly is a truly low maintenance plant, nearly as good as our faux plants 😅
Great stuff 👍
My grandma got 3 of these; 2 of them always struggling and the third really thrieving, simply by standing in a different by room 😂
😳
Great video - helpful and entertaining. I like you.
I appreciate that!
Love your videos! I've had my Peace Lily since 2017 and she's bloomed 3-4 times since then. Not sure what I did right though. :-) And she's never had green flowers/spathes/whatevers (yet).
Keep at it 😁
Excellent video. I used to have a peace lily but re-homed it when I found out it's toxic to cats (and dogs too I think). Now I only buy pet safe plants and keep them in my bedroom. The only room with south and west sun exposure.
Thank you 😊
Love and Peace
My Peace Lilies never flower, sust a foliage plant. On ONE occasion one did, and it was kept in a low light place and rather forgotten, and the spathe was white. I find they don't like a lot of light personally, mine go yellow so I put them into medium light. The Chlorine tip is the best one though, I use API too Mr Sheffield ! 🌿
Great stuff 👍
So funny ! Nice & informative too.
Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I have never thought it was a difficult plant to care for. Just water it when the pot feels light, give it a little bit of light and you're good.
I have a huge peace lily from my Father's funeral. It's over 10 yrs old. It really needs to be repotted but I'm scared I'll kill it
It’ll be fine with a repot
That’s so sweet. What a beautiful living piece of him (no pun intended 😊
you made me smile a lot :) 10x
Great stuff 👍
Would you please address growing peace lilies using hydroponics?
Loved this video!!!Hilarious
Thank you 😊
It's good now my peace lily is turning good
Peace Lily grow in my Auarium with roots complet under water!
I had to cut my roots in half and put it by my window to bloom. Went from none to 3 blooms! 🌼 🌸 🌻 🌹 🏵
Good job!
Mist peace lilies every 2 days. They love humidity.
I bought my peace lily this summer and it’s doing well so far. When I got it there were so many blooms, which is why I bought her. She still puts out several blooms but now they are doubled, not just one “petal” but two! I’ve ever seen that before. Any thoughts? 😊
I don’t think I’ve seen that. Enjoy it though 😁
Could you please make a video on watering cans?? I'm very unhappy with mine!
I agree with undying 😋 I am so fed up with this peace lily I’ve been trying to nurture for three years only because my niece gave it to me or it would’ve been tossed a year ago. No matter where I put it or what I do for it ,it always has droopy leaves. 😂
:Spagthes" .....love this, a new name for me
Since I started using water conditioner for my maranta specifically, it's made a huge difference....everything else is wrong with my maranta lol, but no more brown tips. I don't have a peace lily but it sounds a lot like a maranta....its OK, my maranta and I will find common ground eventually. Lol. Also, I know it's a boring and silly thing to he excited about, but I LOVE the measuring cup on the top of my water conditioner. It's perfect for measuring both the conditioner and small batches of fertilized water...
No harm in that. It's a useful cap 😁
I found your channel and i have to say you are a delight to watch
Thank you 😊
Oh yes the peace lily, the most complicated house plant. I work in a garden centre and the peace Lilly is my biggest concern.
They get these dropping of the leaves from the base of the leaf not stalk, I found once they do this, they will not stand upright again, but the problem? I suspect our tin shed shop is to cold for them, yet not all peace lillies next to each other will do the same.
When over watered they will also do this. When under watered they droop from the base of the stem.
With a lot of TLC they can come back, having to remove all the bent leaves, and waiting months for all the new leaves to grow.
Blooming nightmare for sure
I love all your videos I'm learning a lot from you , thank you ❤ I would like to buy the light you have listed but what watts should I buy??? Do you have a video on this? Thank you🕊🌱🌿🌴🌲🌳
30w is equivalent to high light and 10w is like medium light. 30w gives the best results but 10w is good for keeping a plant ticking over
My peace lily lives on the landing shelf above my stairs. It gets early midday and evening sun but gives me one flower every year I'm happy with that😂
