Peperomia Argyreia care and extreme Propagation (with updates)
Vložit

- This is my second video on the watermelon peperomia (argyreia). The first video was filmed a year ago and in this episode I perform extreme propagation where I hack the plant back completely - just to see what happens. I turn this one parent plant into many smaller plants, and then give you a few weeks update on everybody to see how they did. I also propagated in water and in soil, both in and outdoors. This will hopefully convince you that this plant is tough as nails and adaptable to many conditions. In case you were wondering what spider mites look like… I have some cuttings propagated in water that were infested with spider mites. Thankfully they survived and we ended up having some closeup shots of the spider mites. Yaye!

I just wanna say, the world is such a stressful place these days and watching your videos, or just listening them into the background makes me feel better. Maybe it's just the change of pace of hearing someone talk about keeping things alive and thriving. I don't know, but I appreciate it and the plant advice.
Thank youuu making these videos give me calm too
I love watching you butcher the plant. It shows confidence that the plant will grow back in the pot. Also it gives novice like me confidence to work with my plants.
😀😀
First actual comment about the video... That is so funny! "I want to dive into a whole ocean of these, let them catch me" 😳😂😂
🤣😂🤣

I got a kick out of this comment to. He seems so sweet.
4:52 as a professional gardener, seeing you do these extreme propagations is so satisfying to me. I hate when people just cut the tops off of their plants, especially the viners, because all it does is leave you with a visible point of branching, whereas if you cut close to the base, it's not so noticeable and you get way more material. yes it takes long to grow back, but most people propagate because the plant grows too large, right? so that's a bonus too! I guess I'm just so conditioned to find compact and bushy plants better because that's how they're grown for selling in nurseries. There's actually a chemical that sometimes gets sprayed on certain plants to stunt their growth, which makes their internodes much shorter so they're more compact.
Wow, l learned something new! Thanks for sharing!
"I really love working with this guy"
... "of course I hope I don't kill all of them"
🤣🤣🤣🤣
"This is doing REALLY REALLY well" **While butchering the hell out of it** 😂😂❤️
It gives me panic to watch you chop your plants up. BUT I love seeing how they grow a few months later. Like it's ok, they won't die 😅. I appreciate that you always take the time to show your progress in the same video. Very few youtubers do that. Thank you for sharing 🧡
Totally agree with taking a cutting for 'plant insurance' in case the motherplant dies. Watermelon peperomia are by far one of my fav plants, literally the plant that keeps on giving 😍
For someone who doesn’t have the patience to be gentle a good chunk of the time I actually appreciate how rough you can sort of be with your plants when you propagate them. Plus I love this video because for the life of me I could never figure out how to propagate peperomias plus the tip of propagating them when they come home so the propped plants would be more acclimated to your home :) love it thanks for the useful tips!
Haha I love roughing up my kids… toughen them up a bit for the difficult journey ahead 😋
I don’t even like Peperomia but I watched this video because Sean made it !!! The captions are gold as usual!!! :)
I propagated my new peperomia in water over 3 weeks ago and now it’s growing some leaves. So cool to see the baby leaves grow under water 😀. I also put some in soil and it’s rooting but I haven’t seen any new baby leaves yet. Love propagating in water so I can see the progress. Thanks for sharing 😊
Love love love this! No, it doesn’t stress me out to see you “butchering” your plant especially if you get 21 babies from 1 plant! That’s super exciting. It’s apparent you love your plants and know what you’re doing so please don’t let other plant lovers that might do things differently stop you from doing what you love 🪴 I subscribed and I love your studio.
Thank youu ❤️
Love the way you say: please root well, please root quickly and healthily❤️❤️❤️
I find your way of propagating is giving me hope and a reminder how not all plants are that fragile. Thank you
😀😀 some plants are also far easier to propagate than to rescue
O.O My eyes when Sean started cutting the whole plant haha
😀 it was worth it though right?
Love that half-singing. You're so happy! It does feel great to propagate! Hey, it rhymed! LOL
You have magic hands, I think you're an elf or a fairy with the power of plant propagation haha xD
😅🙏🏽
Your courtyard is stunning 😍
I just adore your videos, your humor and your generosity. We can learn so much from you and it’s such a gift. Keep being you and thank you for your content!
Whoaaa thank you for the dose of positivity 🥰
When I saw the title, first thing comes to mind was like. Didnt he have a video about this or that was a dream 😅. Thanks for the updated video Sean ❤️
Haha this is an extreme version 😀
I can’t tell you how much I loved this video! Your passion for plants is refreshing. I love your humor. Keep at it!!
Haha thank you ❤️ kind of you to write in
Thanks for making this video! I just got a watermelon peperomia and I was wondering how to propagate them since they're so pretty and I want more
It'll be interesting to see how these experiments will be doing in a few months. I also love that you mentioned that location does matter, as humidity, light, temperatures etc. Vary from place to place. 👍🍀
I love how excited you get
i propagated my peperomia bc my cat plucked out a lead, i just stuck it in soil and put it in a ziploc bag and it sprouted in 3 months. also the leafs that didnt have the petioles actually developed roots from where it broke off
I want you to teach me everything there is to know about plants you seem like such a lovely person to learn from! ❤🌿 also the way you sang peperomia argyreia have me so much serotonin
Thank you 😀😀
You are a very good teacher of Botany. Thank you for the lesson.
Lovely propergation! Aw lovely to see some of the pups. 🌿
If I didnt propagated my small watermelon peps I would end up with no plant at all. But still strugling growing them big. Your video gave me more ideas so I will keep on trying🤞. I like your cover photo and when you say extreme my heart almost drop when you butcher the whole plant😂😂😂. I enjoy watching your video. Thanks for doing all the extreme we all benifit from it😉
I love all of his videos so relaxing. His dad must be a buisness man because he's always yelling just like I am jijiji. Typical signs of buisness loud talk
I’m new to owning this plant, but I repotted the three plants in the one I bought the day I brought it home. I use a mix of coco chips, coco coir, perlite, and worm castings. So far, I’ve got several new leaves popping up and they’re very happy with such a fluffy, high drainage soil that stays moist but doesn’t stay wet at all.
yes you got the care down right! 😀
I literally just got this plant and Sean's spider sense told him I needed this video 🤣
Great video as always! 🥰
Your videos are lovely to watch , keep making them please.
Your doing an amazing job! Very informative!
Thank you for sharing. I've now propagated mine and we will see if they do as well as yours in a few months!
❤️❤️
I really really enjoy learning from you. Thank you for sharing you and your plants with us. Truly♥️ you and Amanda from Planterina on yt are so easy to learn from.
Whoaaa thank you. She is a legend 😀
I learn a lot from your videos Sean, thank you so much. GBU.
Thank you for such a wonderful video. Very peaceful and relaxing 😌 you’re wonderful
That was fascinating! 💞
You ae always recommended vlogs to me, I am really gratefull I found your videos
Me: Watches this video, sees propagation 6 months later, runs upstairs at 1am to propagate my Watermelon Peperonia!
😅😅 good luck 😀 they are so much fun to propagate.
Thank you for all your information..I love the way you say hello to your plants with your hands ..I do it now to all my plants,,,HELLOOOO
great info..love the options you gave us, I will be more confident in experimenting
these are the nicest watermelon peps I've seen on the internet! (I've never seen one irl)
Lolll
Great video! I just got my watermelon plant and cant wait to propagate more to have more plants around the house! Thank you :)
I just bought one of these, Thank You! ❤
A few weeks ago I propagated my watermelon peperomia after watching your previous video. I will share with you in ig story. 😀 Actually I learnt different propagation methods from your channel. A lot of useful tips. Thanks 🙏🏻
Happy to hear 😀
I love your energy and your knowledge! Thank you for teaching us!
Thank you for coming along! 😀
It kills me to see you butcher your plants! It's like a horror movie! I think the fact that the majority of your propagations grow into new plants makes it worse! Seriously love your work, keep doing what you love and sharing it with us. Thank you.
Thank you for your enthusiasm, it hurt a lot I bought today yma seedling I planted it in a pot fron Brasil 🇧🇷 São Paulo interlagos
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️🙏🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Thanks for this video!!🎉
I just bought my water melon peperomia last week and stil acclimated in my house! Will repot after watching this 🌿
Love this video. Im going to chop chop now! 😬
Hi Sean thanks for the video, i.m.going to move mines into terracotta, smaller pots. I have done several propagations in winter (i know....) and i try very different ways to propagate and the only one who succeed was in sphagnum moss! Thanks again for videos🌼🌺🌸
That thumbnail is just a beauty 😍
Thanks for letting us know what you really love to do especially in propagating peperomia. Now I know that it's better to propagate not in dense soil but in mix loam soil with rice hull, cocofeat. I am here in Phil's. Just happened that my friend gave me a plant watermelon so I will try to transfer it in another pot. God bless.
Good luck 😀
Your wealth of information is a gift! Thank you for sharing and spreading your knowledge! You have a super gentle way of talking and I learn something new every video! Thank you
Thank youuu 🥰
I just bought 2 of these to rehab. Perfect timing! Thank you
If they dont make it just trim all foliage off and wait for new leaves 😀
Thank you
Love all your videos 😀
omg I love your 6 week follow up! what a green thumb!
😀
I love how you always have your ‘Yakult propagation station” ready 😂
Hehe
My Friday evening just got wild! Ordered this plant online and received today and excited to butcher it up and propagate as its overcrowded...will see how well it copes with the british weather, ha! But love your passion! Going to spend the rest of my evening watching your videos :)
Haha thank youu. Good luck with them babies, be sure to give the cuttings good light! 😀
Love the videos! I'm hooked on pereromia's
Started watching yesterday, and I'm just happy I found this channel. Your so funny and entertaining and knowledgeable. Wishing you many followers and success in life. 👋
Thank youu
I really love this video. You have an awesome personality🤗
Thank youu
Will you do a vlog on your background, family and how you know so very much about all of these plants? So interesting. 🤗
Haha my family is very private but I did give a little biography of myself and plant experience in my video titled 10k subscribers I think 😀
@@onlyplants Oh my gosh, I must sound like a stalker! Totally get it, my family and I are very private as well so I really understand.
Love love love your video. Thank you. I learned a lot ❤
😀
Awesome video! Thank you 😊
Excellent video- exactly what I was looking for!
Thank you 😀
I find that those halves (without the petiole) that you discarded will also root in time. I nestle the cut end into the medium, making sure that the "point" were the petiole was attached is touching it. The new baby plant will grow from that "center" of the leaf area.
Oh yes the halves can sprout into babies. I discovered that in future propagations. How cute right!
@@onlyplants It is amazing. These plants really want to make more of themselves!
I Love How You Love It!!!🥰👍🏾
I love this
I will try your tips ♥️♥️♥️
Thank you for all the great tips! I have one that’s getting leggy.
Could be insufficient light 😀 but do propagate away. They are so much fun to propagate
Mine has died :( SADLY. Yours are so lovable! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us viewers, Shaun. Love watching your videos. Neat!
Keep trying 😀 i find they are far easier to propagate than to rehabilitate
I just propagated my peperomia watermelon plant! Wish me luck! Thank you!
Gd luck! 😀
Such a helpful video. Thank you!
😀😀
Really interesting; thanks for the video! I'm glad I ran into it! Subscribed.
Thank you, welcome to the channel! 🥰
You are so very helpful!!!
😀😀
I love this video.
🥰
and thanks for al the great tips for taking care of plants, it really helps :)
Thats very kind. Thanks for writing this ❤️
Wow very nice
Thanks for sharing. Very useful
😀
Hi Sean! I need to add this pep to my family. So far I have a Pep Jenny, Rana Verde, and Piccolo Bando. Waiting for delivery on another one, plus looking at a Rosso.
Love your videos
Thank youu
Awesome!
Your dog is so cute!!😊
Thank youu
Wonderful
I am loving this! The thought of propagating house plants is either a great thing for me or I will buy a new plant and decide to propagate the life out of it 😏😏
Thank you for the tips mine about died hopefully I can save some
Good luck 😀
Very interesting, Luisa from Barcelona🙂🙂🙂
The news here said there is flooding in Jakarta. I hope that doesn't effect you. We really enjoy your videos. I would rather watch you than movies or shows. Stay safe!
Thank youu
oh my god, one of my leaves fell out of the soil several days ago. I tried to put it into the water but the bottom stem was waterlogged. I disappointedly threw it away and I found your video then decided to bring it back again into the soil instead. Waiting with hope in upcoming days :)
Crossing my fingers hehe
my favourite peperomia! when i got mine i propagated it and now i have about 20 pots 😅 this vid make me want to do it again
Haha cant get enoughhh
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. New follower here and loving your collection 🌿 Propagating is the best part of growing I feel. Sometimes we put nature to the test and we get rewarded with such beauty💕 No hard feeling about butchering this plant lol. Your going to have so many more in the future 🌱
I love how unique your clay pots are 💕
Thank you 🥰
Me doing the Macaulay Culkin Home Alone face slap during the butchering part...
Once again, I love the way you follow up and show the results. I love peperomia, but the problem with them is that they all eventually want to flop over. I think in a wild state, they must flop and re-root, forming beds if conditions are right. My peperomia is leggy, but cup shaped at the same time, and it has inflorescences. So, I assume it is healthy under an LED, but I am going to give it less light to get new leaves that are not cup shaped. My disappointment with it is that I want a nice bushy plant that will last longer than it does, without starting to flop. I'm going to have to get brave and cut it up.
Leggy could be due to low light? Since its trying to reach out. I would propagate and grow in different conditions just to see what works best. Do share with me the results if you find something. 😀
@@onlyplants I think leggy was the wrong word. The leaves are cupped and it is close to an LED. After a good examination, I would say that it has tall stems. I think moving it back a little from the light and cutting it back, as you did with your mother plant, may help.
Your haven the most amazing flowers plans have a blessed day🙄🙄🤔
I got my watermelon peperomia yesterday. I immediately searched for onlyplants watermelon peperomia care and I found one (it was 10 months ago???! I find it very helpful and then this new video came through. Thank you so much for helpings us beginners to propagate certain plants and how to care for them. God bless you, your family, and your yt channel. More power!!! ᕙ( • ‿ • )ᕗ
Thank youu
I love your videos! I like your easy going nature and sense of humor.
ANYWAY! hehe, THANK YOU for this video. I got a variegated ripple peperomia and it has lost lots of leaves since I got it :( It was so beautiful! It is so freakin' delicate! I thought it had a pest so I moved it for a bit away from the warm window and then it lost another couple leaves (probably lack of light). Oh my goodness it's just been a JOURNEY.
I know this isn't even about my kind of peperomia (I cant find much info on variegated ripple peperomia) but I think that it did NOT LIKE THE CHANGE OF ENVIRONMENT. it may not like my dense soil aaaaand it came to me in a pretty big plastic pot so I may need to repot! I wish I could get a consult or something!
OH! I did take cuttings, like maybe 12 and only 1 is surviving! It was in water for about 1 month and nothing was happening, but it was staying alive, so I put it in soil a few days ago and I just see NOW that it has a teeny tiny root! I brought it up a bit so that new babies are closer to the surface.
Oh boy, I didn't mean to make such a long comment!
😅😅
Um, so. It has a pest🤦🏽♀️... Thrips maybe. Treating it often!
Sean 🏊♂️🏊♂️🏊♂️ in the Argyreaian Sea... 🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like an interesting fantasy story, but I bet you can make it true. 😉
I used to get upset at your propagation greediness 😨 (your words!) too, but seeing you get such consistent successes 🤴, it is now okay for me to see you cut up your plants. 🤷♀️ And we learn so much from you! Keep up the good work! 👌
I have tried with Argyreai 3 times now... I am not giving up yet. Appreciate the excellent tips! 🙏
Thank youuu. Every living thing wants to reproduce and live on. I figured I’ll help them along by multiplying them 😀
