Hi, I hope this helps anyone with ripped leaves due to improper unfurling like your El Chocó:
El Chocó is a jungle region between Colombia and Ecuador. I'm Colombian. That particular rainforest is absurdly hot. It rains constantly there. I think it may rain more there than in the Amazon (also part of Colombia).
I don't have an El Chocó. But, I've had the same problem with a White Bird of Paradise. I tried steam, changes in light, humidity, re-poting, etc.
I found the issue is due to lack of enough water absorption. This may be through a damaged root system (not my case), or soil that is too chunky, in combination with less water frequency than the plant requires ✔️.
The later, seems to be consistent with your El Chocó issue.
The moss pole will help with providing more water and much needed support.
But, in addition, you may also try:
• an aeroid mix with a bit more coconut bark to retain more moisture
or
• perhaps a plastic self watering pot
or
• increase the water frequency.
I'm often weary of root rot on aeroids, so I prefer to increase water frequency on chunky aerated soil.
I hope this helps. Since I found the issue, my bird of paradise is unfurling beautifully and has produced 30% larger leaves ❤
PS: You may want to try the same thing with your Anthurium Waroqueanum to get it to grow. I find Anthuriums do better in self watering pots.
In terms of humidity, I have ceiling fans (super important) and I keep humidity between 55-65%. Surely my plants could appreciate more humidity, especially Anthuriums, but I too have to live here 😅
Hey, succulent collector here! I must have around 400 now, counting seedling pots.
Started as the simple succulent collection and now I'm more into mesembs (lithops and conophytum) and globular cacti. I think it's just as fun as aroids, the plants are typically much smaller so it's also easier to collect when tight on space :) I just don't think there's a big market to sell those plants. They're very cheap for the amount of time they take to grow.
If you do plant conventions, come to the ELK one year! It's incredible (north of Belgium) and you can find some real rarities you've never seen before.
I’m no longer a fan of succulents, but I still have one. Thanks for sharing!
Over the last year I've become obsessed with curly whirly succulents. They're truly bizarre looking and so far I've found them pretty easy to grow especially from seed.
I’m the same way! But with fuzzy succulents that look hairy.
Ooo nice!😀@@Wispertile
You have a unique way on how to grow your plants. And you do it with less effort. So much variaties and they're all so beautiful !
16:31 🤣
BRUUUH
Succulents are what got me into plants (aside from jenna marbles) when I found a random video on tiktok explaning that you can propagate them via leafs (also prop lifting)
I have around 15 different cacti and succulents, without them the windows sills would be empty, since the light is the strongest and there's not much space for bigger plants there :)) they are the reason I started my plant journey
I am obsessed with succulents! They're my favorite. I have a little succulent cabinet, but I also have them all over my house. I've also grown lithops from seed (it's been a year and they are VERY SMALL)
Nice first comment. Already waited for the next video. Always a good day with a new video. Keep on going.
Always here for you 💚!
Sheffield made plants recommended your channel. I'm glad he did!
I used to like succulents more when I wasn’t as into plants. I think succulents are very cute, but ultimately they just don’t bring me as much joy as other points.
At this point, I have about 50 plants, and maybe 2 are succulents (both of which were gifts). I’ve given away a lot of my succulents over the years as well.
EDIT to say: I do love a pretty succulent dish! Still don’t know if it’s something I want to keep myself, but I love looking at them!
Succulents are among my favorite plants.
I have succulents and am new at it, but I love learning about them
I dont have any typical succulents except for a sop but I do love cactus, rhipsalis and euphorbias
perfect timing for a new video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Succulents are like plants from a different planet, absolutly love them
💚
To answer your question, I love succulents, they're the ones I started with. I always have more propagations than I know what to do with, luckily I know some people who are always happy to get new baby plants lol. I don't have the humidity or space for nice big aroids, so I watched videos like your to fill my need for them, and I have my succulents and others to fill my need for actually growing plants :)
I started with succulents. I have two overgrown aloes to deal with soon (they keep having babies!) But they also bloom every year for me so they must be happy. I also started my jade plant obsession many years ago because my mother had a jade mother that was HUGE. I had to start over with my succulents some years ago and have a lot of plants but not as many as you do!! I like succulents because they tolerate being neglected.
I really like succulents. I don't have a big collection of them. I have a couple of echeveria. I avoid etiolation by not watering them in the winter. They look awful for the winter months, but they always come back to life when I water them and have them outside in the summer.
I’m a big fan of Hoya linearis, don’t have one just yet, but the other I adore is the carnosa compacta, I’ve got 3, 2 potted up together, I’ve got quite a few succulent varieties, not many regular ones you find everywhere, I like the funky ones, they’re almost 1/3 of my collection about 25-30 I think
Yup have alot of succulents, common in sw usa
i love succulents and cacti i started out w those and airplants as a kid so they’ll always have a soft spot for me! i collect any funky varieties i can find (helps that they tend to be cheap!)
Yes, I have about 100 succulents and cacti, and an equal amount of tropicals. Always ❤ seeing videos of both.
I absolutely love succulents and cacti. Aloes were one of the first plants I fell in love with when I was little, and now that I'm an adult I want to get as many aloe varieties as I can! In the past year or so I've also really loved tropical cacti. Eventually I want a grow tent just for succulents and cacti and to grow from seed! But for now, they are sharing a tent with my tropicals/foliage plants.
oh yes, I collect succulents too! (not cactus, too ouchy) I plant my succulents in a huge pot outside and move it around following the sun during the year. (there is no freeze / snow by me)
Love your videos, very entertaining and also you have such a good and positive energy that just makes my day a little better 💜
Im a fresh plant parent, and struggle with brown spots on my plants. Would love a video with some advice and guidance from you!
Outside of jade, no succulents fir me except in the summer outside!
I really like succulents! I got obessed with them a few years ago, when I was travelling. I saw a veryy old beautiful succulent and I borrowed a few leaves, the leaves have grown a lottt!
I love your videos:))
I love succulents
i started out with succulents because i couldnt keep anything else alive when i started 😅 so out of my 50-something plants, more then half are succulents/cacti and i really enjoy them. i still collect them when i find cool ones and obviously they propagate like mad on their own 😅
You're a sweetheart, thank you and welcome to the gang 😉💚
I’ve been growing and collecting succulents for 15+ years,all outdoors. ( warm part of Australia) they thrive on neglect and sunshine,, Their color really comes out from the sun.
After going crazy on collecting house plants,i kinda forgot my succulents,now after seeing more CZcamsrs show them I’m starting to appreciate my succulents again.the more quirky and unusual the better!
Loved this video and girl! That red looks good on you! ❤💚🪴
Try rooting your micans straight in soil. They do great for me!
I got gifted a pot of assorted succulents and i brought them all in for winter... and i still have them alive 2 years later, I propagated them and i now have too many succulents LOL i really enjoy them but the light needed for them is important
I tend to pick up succulents when I cant find anything else so yes, i guess I am collecting succulents now too lol.
Great vid again! I have a few succulents, but am not especially into them and like the "leafy" plants more. However, one does has my attention: my (presumably) Aloe aristata suddenly started flowering 😍
You are easily my favourite plant CZcamsr! Keep up the good work :)
I love succulents just as much as my foliage plants! One reason is how small they are so they fit on my narrow windowsills. Haworthia are my favorites, so collectible 😊
I probably have 100+ succulents. I started with them when I got into plants about 4ish years ago. I don't collect them as much now, except Aeoniums and a few Echeverias that I've always wanted but were way too expensive. I have 3 large shelving units in my backyard filled with succs only. Aeoniums and a select few other succs are sprinkled throughout the rest of the house :D I also collect "fluffy" (leafy) plants and have hundreds of those too. lol. Thanks ADHD for the wild hyper-focus hobbies 😁 On another note, I am new to your channel and I love it. You're fun and easy going. (Also love a plant mom who cusses. I cuss like a truck driving sailor) Happy New Year! Have fun, be safe, and make good choices!
Oh my goodness, good thing succs don't take up as much space as other plants 😁. You've got quite the collection going 😉, how much work is it to maintain so many succs? Should be less than leafy plants, or am I mistaken?! 😅
I'm glad you enjoy the video, always happy to hear such kind feedback 💚 Greetings from Germany 👋
I really really love succulents but I don't live in a fantastic climate for them as of now, so I've just got my snake plant. I want to collect echeverias but they're really hard to keep here since the soil takes like a year to dry even if it's like literally sand. They just absorb themselves to death.
I love succulents. I would love to have a succulent center piece in my sunny living room. Unfortunately, my apartment gets brutally cold here in N.Y. in the winters. Heat all day is not an option. The few succulents that i do have are hanging on, lol!
Love your video, new subbie here😅! "Kill this Plant" the content creator brought me here !❤
love this video
Im actually a cactus guy spying on houseplant CZcams 👀
I only have like 5 "houseplants" but they all live outside under my cactus bench, I'll eventually start bringing some inside through lol
I actually prefer succulents (and cacti) to foliage houseplants! I think my collection is around 50/50 succs to foliage (I should count though hahaha) My favourites are crassula types, but I LOVE my buddha's temple
Thanks for sharing!!
I have more succus than tropical plants. I started the plant hobby with sucus and carnivorous plants.
Hi, I've got a question. I'm currently growing my tropical plants in a grow tent and my wondering is should I have positive or negative pressure? Meaning do I want my air being sucked out of my tent or should I have air being blown into the tent? My worry is is I don't want contaminants to cause any damage or excess moisture. Just wondering what your thoughts were on that. Thank you so much! As always, love your videos and your plants😊
Ich habe drei Kakteen, aber finde sie nicht so toll, weil sie halt nicht so hübsch sind, wie monsteras und co.
( die waren sogar von Ikea🫣)
Verstehe ich total, ich finde vorallem passiert bei Kakteen einfach nicht so viel und da sind unsere Aroids doch etwas spannender 😅💚
I hate succulents... I think they are very ugly
You have to calm down your hands when you talk
I don't have to do anything.
Brilliant, as usual✨ would l o v e an end of year full 🌿🪴🌱tour though🤠 i do have some succulents, mostly euphobia, love them too💚
I hope to make a full plant tour this Spring /summer 🤞
