Yes, this is a controversial topic but if you're new around here then I guess the first thing I should tell you is that I grow about 75% of my collection in no drainage and this is just my preference! Part 2 of this video will include most of the FAQ's I get about growing in no drainage, pro's and cons, different no drainage potting mixtures, etc.. so keep an eye for that one to come out in a few weeks!
Please keep in mind this is just MY preference of growing plants, this is no way trying to be an educational video about the "right" way to grow, as I always say, just do what works for you. All rude comments will be deleted. 🥳

I love how long this video is. A lot of people start off with "I'll try not to make this video too long" but WHY. I'm here bc I want HOURS of plant content! lol
It’s so funny because I feel like people are at polar opposite ends of the spectrum 😆 I get a decent amount of these comments saying they love the longer videos, and then others who say they wish I made shorter ones. I actually struggle with making short videos though- 1 hour seems to be my normal and that’s considered “short” for me 😆
Had to pause the video to say, I laughed out loud when the zebra leaf *detached* on cue. Your plants are comedy gold. Sending much love to you and pudge to block out that hate, people are too free.
I was like did that just? Ok 🤣
Haters gonna hate. It's astonishing and comical how people show their jealousy through what they say and how they behave!
@@aldrob108 I think it’s okay if people had a healthy discourse about different points of view, but when it becomes a mean-spirited comment, name calling etc that’s trolling and being too free. But that’s just my opinion.
Some people learn and are driven by other’s negativity believe it or not! The modern human is way too sensitive and quick to take offense…
I came to the comments to see if anyone else thought that was hilarious 😂😂
Most of my plants that I had in containers with no drainage were thriving and shooting of leaves like crazy. You have amazing plants so keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you so much destiny! I’m happy no drainage has worked well for you too 🥰
Same here..I have several over the years that have been in containers with no drainage. Pon...diy and lechuza, leca and perlite. So I do understand :)
I like the idea of clear vessels. You can keep a eye on the roots and how much water your giving the plant.
Once you go clear it’s kinda hard to go…. Not clear? Ok not my best jingle 😆
Honestly you are such a good example for Skillshare. Your pics were already beautiful but you’re definitely rocking a new moody vibe which I LOVE! 🤩
This makes me so happy 😭 thank you Tiffany 🥺 I’ve had so much fun learning this new way of taking and editing photos and I’m SO glad I took the time to take a few classes. Still lots to learn though!! My next goal is going to be taking classes on how to use my DSLR to take photos of my plants because there are so many knobs and buttons I’m like WHAT DO I DOOOO
The way you speak, both in timbre of your voice and the precise way you enunciate words, especially the scientific names is so pleasant to listen to. .Your Ideas and choice of flora are quite advanced a selection but but because you are not only aesthetically a delight to listen to, but also crisply intelligent. Your personal (some may say radical) style of caring for your wards appears to be an unpopular and often criticized trait is something that I both personally respect as well as see as an absolute strength of yours which is unique and nothing to be apologetic about since it is quite evidently working for you. Its something that newbies like myself find very inspiring because it keeps caring for and having plants exciting and dynamic. It is not work that needs to be done ~ but keeps things exciting because plants keeps surprising us , even those common ones that everyone supposedly knows everything about. I also love how candid you are about mishaps and other perceived errors and bloopers which when juxtaposed on such joyfully natural and enthusiastic inquiry and mental clarity , hence, manifesting as verity of confidence , makes for a fun, educational, and inspiring offering from you which is such a gift to myself as I imagine countless others! Keep on being as you are, It really works MORE than just adequately for you. 🙏🏻💡❤️😇.
Have you ever thought people who post negative comments are actually people showing their IGNORANCE about plants? Your doing great
why are people so mean about the no drainage thing : / I grow a bunch of my plants in no drainage too and I've never had any particular issues with those. Like, just because they can't make it work doesn't mean nobody else can...
I just stared using your “no drainage” method for the past month, and wow.. what a game changer! It’s made my life so much easier! Thank you 🙏
I watched several of your videos to try and collect as much info about no drainage as I could because I feel like a lot of my plants would benefit from no drainage (I was thinking the Alocasia and ferns) but this is amazing! So excited for part 2!
I had to watch this over two days, but I really enjoyed getting to see so much of your collection! I have almost entirely switched to clear pots now, though I mostly use plastic in ceramic cover pots. Big chunky roots are just as exciting to see as new leaves, right? I'm looking forward to part 2 and hearing your advice for caring for plants without drainage.
Where do you buy clear pots with no drainage holes?
Most of my plants are in clear pots without drainage and they are doing just fine!! You're an inspiration and I hope you continue to share tips and your learnings with all of us. Also, love the lazy pole, will be making one this weekend!
Where do you buy them?
Yessssss!! No drainage AND 2HOURS?! I love your long videos!!
Thank you for watching love!! 💖💗💗
I love your Hoya and cacti and succulent collection. I think everyone have there own ways of growing plants. As long as they are growing well is the main thing.
Absolutely!! Your plants, your business! I find it fascinating to see what works for different people.
You know what, if anyone tells you 'no drainage' doesn't work, just tell them, HOW ABOUT TELLING NATURE THAT...THE PLANTS IN THE PARKS, THE PLANTS IN THE AMAZON, ANTHURIUMS, HOYAS AND OTHER PLANTS THAT LIVE IN WATER ETC, WHERE'S THEIR DRAINAGE???
With the right balance and conditions, nature will do all the work for you.
Your Plants are beautiful and look great in their containers, so beautiful!
I'm a new plant mum, so I'm at the "Wait! What happened! Why are you dying! What did I do wrong!" Stage, but I have faith! I love my plants and I'm willing to learn as much as I can to save my babies! lool
You inspired me to grow some plants in no drainage last fall 😊 I chose to start with plants I was treating with systemic for thrips, because I didn't want any chance of the systemic going down the drain or anything. Since then, a lot of my props are in no drainage, aka in plastic cups lol
Aww I’m sooo happy the no drainage thing works for you!! I have LOTS of plants in plastic cups too 😆
I'm so freaking excited someone else does no drainage too!!♡ you're killing it girl!
46:06 “teeny tiny hairy peepee” ✨philodendron gloriosum✨
So over them, too. Idk how big box stores gave them all looking so happy. 😅
I hate to hear that people are sending you rude comments. Thanks for making great videos unplantparenthood.
I'm wicked into scary stuff 😂 I listen to murder podcasts when I'm not absorbing planty info 😂
Nail polish color is fire. Can’t wait for part 2
I just simply love your collection and the way you grow them. I enjoyed this long video. I LOVE YOUR LONG VIDEOS they are super informative💚💚💚💚🐾
The fact that you have all these aroids growing so lush in Canada of all places, that takes skill and knowledge. I've started growing slowly in no drainage pots by watching you and it has been working. Kisses to Pudge. 💚
Hi charmaine, regarding the haters, don’t worry about them. Just wish them well! 🥰 and you do you. “Love ya”
I'm on the exact opposite end of the spectrum where I'm growing more and more things mounted, in slotted orchid pots, super chunky peat free media, and Vanda baskets, haha
this being a whole marvel movie let me get my pawpcorn
Your Hoya calistophyla is gorgeous! Your plant collection is so great , love them all. I think you growing with this high quality in planter without drainage, shows how skilful you are in growing plants! Don't listen to any one who says otherwise! Where do you get your plastic for the D-shape poles? Thanks for sharing and happy growing.
I keep plants in drain free pots. I’ve done it since i started collecting plants. None of them die because there is no drainage hole. Actually i have never killed any of my non drainage plants.
Sending good vibes, you have inspired me to grow without drainage. I went to good will and got a bunch of glass containers ! Thanks for sharing
I do recently decided to grow/plant something mainly spices and flowering plants because i just realize how fun it could be, watching this would not help me as in giving tips to grow those things because the care and everything would be different but im just happy to watch this and learning new things 😂 im watching this in the background while doing my chores too 😂
HoLy lOoK aT aLl tHoSe dEaD pLaAnTs ☠️ One thing I love about no drainage potting is thrifting cute little containers! I’d love if you did another one of those thrifting finds videos!! I have yet to plant in no drainage with soil do you just sort of wet the soil and avoid any water sitting at the bottom? Send my love to Pudge 🥰🥰
I’m at the Tradescantia part... it needs light the leaves will loose the green if you give it more light... but not direct sun 🙃 I have the discolor that’s pink and white and when it’s propped away from the sun it turns all green.
I have 4 others that do the same (one that’s magenta in the sun but regular green in side, I just thought the discolor was a good example)
I’ve been enjoying your videos. Your plants look absolutely stunning and I love the aesthetic of plants in clear jars.
Aww thank you kamanda! 🥰
Some people can’t grow plants in containers with no drainage. Some people can! Anyway, you do you girl because you are good at it!!
I had some alocasias and ferns with no drainage for a few years, no problems at all, finally repotted them this winter and they are not happy.
It’s funny how we repot thinking “oh you’re gonna be so happy” and then they throw a tantrum 😂 I grew some ferns with no drainage but once they outgrew those vessels I moved them to pots with drainage and they literally all croaked. I find alocasias to be much less finickier than ferns, but I’ve had some die back to a rhizome and go completely dormant during the winter. My Alocasia micholitziana Maxkowskii is one of those that *always* dies back during the winter ☹️
Just LOVE this but I do have questions! Do you find some plants need a little bit of time to acclimatise to no drainage or do they just not care? Are they any plants you'd avoid putting in no drainage pots? Last one, do you amend your substrate between no drainage pots and ones with drainage? Peace, love and F*** the haters.
The pothos, I have mine outside in filtered sun and the varigation is insane. She is now green and vibrant neon yellow/green. Similar colours to a Brasil
My raphidophora is in moss and pearlite-I also grow in no drainage. It’s going great! LOTS of light.
2 hours, thanks!!! I'm so ready!
I hope you enjoyed it!!
@@unplantparenthood I for sure did! Can’t wait for the second part!
I was already sold from your previous vids 🤩. I put a scindapsus in a no-drain glass vase (chunky soil/leca in bottom) a few weeks ago. So far happy.. a thick root is growing down into the leca. I just need some how-to guidance on watering?? Maybe it's obvious for everyone else?😅 but where can I learn more about watering in no-drainage?
That makes sense, you still need to know when to water your plants under these new conditions right? It isn't obvious to me either! lool
She has a part 2 video.
I didn't realize until recently that I don't use pots the way other people do. I don't ever move my pots when the plants are happy. I don't understand people that bring all of their plants to sinks and let the substrate wash down their drains. I just bring a water bucket to them. Honestly I'm really good at gauging how much water each plant needs so I don't even ever take them out of the cache pot. I never thought about just doing away with the inner pot part.
Huh.
You sound like the perfect plant parent for no drainage! 👏🏼
Hi! Just wanted to say that I love your videos so much! Also, where can I find the clear plastic no drainage pots/liners you’ve been using? I really like the look of them! 💚
Wow I love your plants they are beautiful.
Hey I just saw your fishbone cactus. I have one too!
I think you might be under watering your fishbone based on the color and texture of the leaves. It looks like it's really on the dry side. Fishbone don't mind drying out but I actually am able to keep mine moist pretty constantly.
Before I started getting a little heavier on the water it looked a lot like yours, but when I kicked it up I got super glossy leaves, and it CONSTANTLY puts out new fronds. I think mine started out like 6" tall in a 6" pot, but it's around five times the size now.
Start off slowly, but try to water it more to see how it does.
Ohh thank you!! It’s growing like crazy but not like ✨ thriving ✨ I’ll give that a shot!! 🤞🏼 I appreciate your advice 😍
I really want to try the no drainage thing with leca and aroid mix, i have some in pon and leca, love the look of it! 😊 Love your rhipsalis collection, they are suprisingly not easy to come by here in Singapore. You really have to look for them, and most they are big ones, o wanted to grow them from cuttings 😢
Ahhh I’m so happy I DMed you about the Skillshare thing if you remember. And I love the dark moody vibe! So I’m so happy of what I’ve been learning
Of course I remember!! And I was so happy you wanted to take classes too! 🤩
I don't know you've checked my comment from the previous video that I have anxiety about your background music. Thank you so much for changing background music. I feel much better now to watch your video. with BIG XOXO from. Damee Cavanaugh
2 hours!!! What a treat! 💃
😮💨 exhausting to film and edit but so worth it for you guys!
@@unplantparenthood we know how much your working to give us these videos and we appreciate it a lot ❤️
I think people just arent educated enough nor open minded enough to see the potential in no drainage. My plants love it!
I went into the video ready to learn something new…came out educated with 50+ new wish list plants. 😂 Ugh that scalprum!
Haha oops!! 😆 but honestly if I could recommend any plant to you- 110% the scalprum!! 🤩
Whatever works for you! I have a few orchids in bark and no drainage at the bottom of the pot. They seem happy.
I can barely grow my plants with drainage, so I don't know how you do it! I've been experimenting with pon and it's really great for rooting stuff, but I'm still apprehensive about actually growing stuff in it. I had a terrible winter this year, like half of my collection got root rot and I've been rehabbing everything mostly in hydro. Scindapsuses are absolute bitches imo, all three of mine got dry rot and I've been losing my mind with my silvery ann (that I just can't let go because it's the prettiest one I've seen, so silvery!).
dog tail ripsalis 😂
Just spent $9.00 on five glass containers at Goodwill. Beautiful! Copying your idea.
I love all your plants, with drainage hole or not it doesn't matter
As long it's all grow and make you happy that's all matter
Good and Happy planting
About 75-80% of my houseplants are growing in a clear glass vase ever since I saw your pics on IG and copied you. It is very easy to maintain, my plants are all doing much better in this set up and I love seeing those juicy roots. The only downside for me is it’s a bit difficult to find these clear glass vase. I find most from MP and sometimes from thrift store. Where to you buy yours?
Hi zorayda!! 💖 I’m so happy no drainage is working for you. I get most of my vessels at value village (queensborough)! I also find that the Salvation Army in downtown new west usually has a good selection of clear vessels as well. Also don’t forget to check dollarama!
I love ur plants if it work it work ur plants show it’s working for u.
did you mean to ID the tiny little cactus at 46:08 as a p. gloriosum LMAO
I was just taking pics of some plants I put on lazy poles in no drainage. 💚I'm obsessed!! I'll tag ya on IG when I post em😘 You are amazing and I luv Alice. So happy she started a channel as well!! 🌿🌱 #HeadlessCZcamsrSquad♥️
Thank you for watching our lil channels!! So happy you’re enjoying them 🥰🥰🥰
I love your videos they inform and make me laugh. Keep doing you and do what works for you. I’ll be here
You’re always so kind Lisa!! Thank you for your support 💖
I love your plants and your blue polish
Your plants are hamazing…! So beautiful..!
sooooo much golden info! helped me get to the bottom of my xanadu wonderings! will wash the leaves from now on. also, keep being epic. there is much love for you over here!
I noticed the absence of Calatheas , why ?
No drainage for the win!
From 6:35 to 7:30 it looks like pudge’s snout is a glitch in the matrix. 🤣
His favourite snack in the whole world is oxygen and his nose 🤣
I have lucky bamboo in water and it shoot some roots😊
Can we call Alice Allen now? 😂 Also how do you feel about adding perlite into a pon mixture vs adding leca? Love you like always 🥰
Alice is 👩⚖️ officially ✍🏼 Allen
Also I find that I tend to gravitate more toward adding (coarse only) perlite to Pon as it REALLY improves aeration. I really don’t like how dense and fine lechuzapon brand makes their substrate. I much prefer a homemade pon since the individual substrates are usually a much coarser grade. But adding leca is also great too, as the round shape of it mixed in with pon also allows for more air pockets. 💖
Incredible!!! Thanks for sharing!!! 💚🙋🏼♀️🐩🪴
i'm glad you enjoyed it! thank you for watching 💚
I am very impressed with your information , my question is : how do you know how much water you should give them, thank you
Cant wait till part 2
Just letting you know you labeled Hoya khroniana (super silver) as Hoya lacunosa. 🙂 Love your content!
I wish your spooky repot had done better! It’s probably my fav video of yours. Please consider doing it again at least for Halloween
You better believe there’s gonna be a spooky repot for Halloween! 👻 I’m glad you enjoyed it!! I don’t really care if it doesn’t get as many views- I had a lot of fun filming and editing that video and I’m excited to do it again 🖤
Maybe a Hoya paradoxa. I was looking at Hoyas last night and remember seeing one that looked exactly like this.
Hi. New subscriber here. I love your glass pots. Where do you get them?
Awesome video!!!!
That black smaller pot that is flat with a hole off center…that is a Japanese Ikebana pot for Ikebana arrangements. It looks great the way you’re using it however!
The plant you showed before the rhipsalis paradoxa is a Mangave
Omg I had to look up what Japanese Ikebana is and I’m OBSESSED! Sooooo beautiful 😍😍😍
Teehee I laughed so hard once I really thought about it like we’re Litterally all playing plant god inside .doing experiments to see what they can withstand .
The plants like “ha ha very funny” 😆😆
@@unplantparenthood lol untill it dies overnight and it’s not 💀💀💀😂
I wonder if those ball cactus would grow rounder in more light. They seem to be reaching for the daylight?
Hi where did you buy your beautiful glass jars please?❤
How do you know how much water to add in? do you keep the water level to 1/3?
Why are some people so judgy? Let the people grow with no drainage pots if they wish to. Let people do what they want! Me, personally, I don't fertilize my plants lol.
Why after watch your videos, I always have the necessity to buy more plants ‘cause I have the feeling that don’t have enough (even though don’t have more room at home)?? 🙈🙊
Haha I’m sorry! 😆 I think all of us get that urge to want more, but I bet your collection is perfect! ❤️
I just bought a bushy paradoxa minor! Let me know if you want to split it!
i repotted my newly bought ZZ plant and Snake plant into a pot without drainage. Did I made a mistake? I am contemplating to pull it out and put back in the plastic pot
My alocasia silver dragon is dying in no drainage.😐
So since you still use some soil do u still get those lil tiny brownish bugs that crawl in the soil? Idk they can b spring tale n some yea fungus gnats but ugh I hate it all so what or do u do anything to keep anything out of the soil?
Hello there. Excellent video and I want to learn more. I saw your lazy moss pole video but where is the other one you reference about the plastic sheeting and the “D shape.?” Intrigued!
Hi!! My lazy pole part two video comes out next week where I show how to use it with a non-netted plastic! And you can find the D-shaped moss pole tutorial on @youdontevengrowhere’s CZcams channel ☺️
@@unplantparenthood
Thank you so much! I looked and looked for that channel and I am not able to find it. I don’t know where my error is. Do you mind linking me the video? I appreciate it if you are able to take the time. If not, I understand.
@@wildcatdiva4974 czcams.com/video/IjoY6j-jB7Y/video.html
That's the video and channel she is referring to :)
Them Anthirium Vitterafolia roots look like phalaenopsis orchid roots BIG OLE CHONKY ROOTS!
udon noodle roots 🤤
@@unplantparenthood Lmao that was the second thing that came to my mind right before you said it!
The people that hate are the ones that have a graveyard of overwatered plants in their backyard. If yours are thriving and clearly you know the soil mix and what they need so let the haters hate with their dead ass plants
You know the people who say you need drainage have absolutely no knowledge about how to maintain healthy soil lol. Just following whatever popular plant youtuber tells them
I tried to explain this to someone who came for me hard in a comment and I essentially said there’s so much more to substrate health that isn’t talked about that much, I also referenced the science of how terrariums work and she wasn’t having it 😆
What is passive hydro
Here’s an article that explains passive hydro pretty simply!
gardenculturemagazine.com/what-is-passive-hydroponics/
When growing in no drainage is it a must to have them in clear canisters? Or is any no drainage pot okay?
You could use a no drainage pot that you can’t see through, but I wouldn’t recommend it, especially if you’re new to growing with no drainage. I like using clear vessels (usually I repurpose jars and food containers that would typically be thrown out) and putting them inside decorative planters. Clear is useful because it allows you to see what’s going on in the soil and if too much water is pooling at the bottom. You can also typically see when the substrate is dry by the color. Easier to monitor everything. The decorative planter blocks algae growth and looks really nice.
You get a ❤️ from me
Hey Charmaine!😘💚💚First!!
Don't worry, people are just salty when someone succeeds where they can't ;)
46:56 omg! It's totally a dic! Hahahahha
could the Anthurium Hybrid be Dressleri x Mag ? the sinus & venation kinda resembles one to me, just a guess . 🔥 content again tho, as usual
I’m wondering where you bought your sprayer and what is it’s name? I couldn’t find one with a long hose.
I actually just got it from Lowe’s!
