Your suggestion of a water meter has made a 100% difference with caring for my plants. I never water now without sticking it in the soil in various areas to see if it needs water. There have been times when looking at the top of the soil I think, this plant needs water only to see it doesn't at all.

I wholehearted agree with the plastic pots tip. I too have an -unhealthy- healthy obsession with all things plants, but also, I'm an _aesthetics maniac_ . I *always* used put my plants straight into a nice ceramic/stone/clay pot straight out of the nursey pots. It's something I wish I'd not ever gotten into the habit of doing. Roll on some years and I've slowly been repotting those older plants into nursery pots and always keeping the new plants left in them, and It's made a huge difference in the overall health of the plants! I do still have a few that are directly potted, simply because of their awkward shape - I'm talking about the rounded ceramics that barely give enough room for a small sized nursey pot - so much wasted room. I take special care with these guys though when watering, and they seem to be doing alright.. but it's still not ideal.

I can totally relate to the type of round:ish shaped ceramic pots that are near impossible to put a fitting nursery pot inside of. I've got two beautiful large pots, with huge ZZ-plants inside, and the watering of those is a total guessing game except from lifting them and estimating their weight. I'm sure there's some rotten roots hiding down there from being too generous with the watering sometimes, but overall they have actually thrived during their 4~ years in there & are almost constantly pushing out new growth. I'm eager to repot them next spring and take a look at what has actually been going on in the root-department during all these years of watering them very haphazardly.

A little tip with dechlorinating water without chemicals. If you can keep your water out for 24hrs the chlorine discapates. Even with aquarium treatments it should be left for a period of time to treat it. I learned this keeping aquariums. I think a good tip also from aquariums is giving water time to come up to room temperature. While it's warm it can stay outside and really warm up. 'Indoor' plants don't like it cold so water straight from the tap can cause shock and decline in many plants. I killed a couple of Ficus Bonsai by doing this. Now mine is flourishing. Something worth a try too is putting struggling plants in a clear plastic bag where they create their own super humid micro climate. I've helped a few plants find new strength by doing this and also bounce back strong from heavy defoliating. Keep up the great tips and videos and give these a try. I'm sure you'll find more success than this compared to soy sauce!

I wanted to let you know that what you said to remove chlorine, YES, you can simply let tap water sit out for a few days, and it will eventually vaporize into the air. However, Chloramines are what the majority of treatment plants use in the USA and other places because it is more efficacious than just chlorine. (You can ask for a water quality report from the local authority to see if they are using chloramine.) Chloramines are a more complex combination of ammonia and free chlorine, which means they aren’t capable of evaporating. Thank you for reminding me about covering with a plastic bag. I've done this on new young plants but I may try it on my older avacado plant that likes to drop leaves.

For my plants and my aquariums I keep dechlorinated water in 5L containers. This gets it to room temp and means it is always ready to go. Aquariums also make the best, IMHO, water propagation tanks.

I had a Rubber Plant that was the same, it looked awful, long leggy stems with a few.leaves at the top. I steeled myself, chopped it all the way down to the soil, stuck the top few stems into water to propagate, put the pot outside intending on recycling the whole thing into the flowerbeds and forgot about it, within a few weeks I started to see new growth. Not only did I have to repot it into a bigger pot last year but the thing is as tall as me and looks amazing. I ended up sticking the propagated/rooted stems in with it but I make sure I put her outside at the first chance every spring. I just have to find a big enough spot to put her when she comes back in next month, she does not like being in the house at all.

Strange that you have Snake Plants not doing well away from the window. I live in a row house like you, and it's in a narrow street so at the front and at the back there's my kitchen build-out and my neighbour's build-out taking a lot of light. So in the middle of the living room plants really struggle but Snake Plants thrive. I do go weeks and weeks without watering them, maybe that benefits them? One thing I really have to start doing is quarantine my cacti when I buy a new one. More than once I've lost a couple because I brought in spider mites. I always look for them before buying a new cactus but sometimes there aren't any visible signs of them yet when I buy a new cactus. Lately I've seen a lot of cacti in shops with spider mite webs.

@Daniele63

Did you let the soil dry between waterings ? Otherwise roots will rot because of the anaerobic environment. If you want to use something, if you leave the plant in the pot, let the soil dry, then use hydrogen peroxide, one part 3% hydrogen peroxide and two parts water, and put it in a watering can or spray bottle. You can either use it while the plant is still in the pot, or after taking it out of the pot and spray the root ball. That should kill the bacteria responsible for root rot. If there very few roots left, the plant may shed a lot of leaves but it may still recover and make a comeback, however if there are no roots it's a lost cause.

Honestly, the method of having my plants double potted - ceramic without a hole outside, plastic with a hole inside works best for me. I put them in the sink, close the drain, water well letting the pot sit in the water for 10 or so minutes, drain the sink, go to bed and when I get up the next morning put everyone back in their sunny space. I guess that works because I've limited my #!

Nice routine 👌

I hate after obtaining a new plant, spending literally hours trying to rearrange my existing plants to fit it in😢. I have now got 8 yes 8 grow lights, to have plants in gloomy corners. Only last week i went to my DIY store for building materials, swearing blind NOT to get any more plants! Oops came home with 3 sickly clearance plants and fecking 6 baby lavender which i want to grow indoors WTF i needed help.

Hey Mr.Sheffield and the community! I have a question: i’ve repotted my plants more than 2 weeks ago, pots are not big (13cm), and the soil just doesn’t dry. I moved it to more light and airy area, ruffled the soil but it still doesn’t dry. Do I need to repot it again into another soil? Or should I just wait, because there’s just not enough light and temperature is not high in the apartment? I’m afraid or root rot. Thank you!

What’s in the soil? If it’s taking weeks then might need a change

Do you have an oak leaf ficus/ficus quercifolia/string of frogs? I finally got a few and I love them so much!! There is, however, a lack of youtube videos dedicated to them :( I feel like I could learn more about them and you're a good teacher so, if you have experience with them, I'd love to see a video!

@@SheffieldMadePlants well heck lol. I couldn't find any in shops either. After half a year of searching, I gave up and got some great ones from an etsy shop. Thanks for the reply!

I fill my larger watering can and then let it sit for a few days, the chlorine will evaporate out

On propagating your way out of a mess: I've tried this TWICE with my lucky bamboo and gotten nothing but a mushy root end either time - despite watching KZreadrs show how easy it is! Haven't seen many Dracaenae on your vids, but so many plants, maybe I missed. If your thing, maybe a vid idea?

Ok I care for for my sister's banana plants. And she has some miscommunication.. thinking they need alot of fertilizer. Like using one type WITH conting to use the other. And she thinks they ALWAYS need to be watered (they are to big to run under a sink, yes they have drainage holes but no trays!! And thier on wood!!!) Can you make a video on banana plants?
