Awesome! Thank you!

I live in Sweden and I've had geraniums on my south facing window sill for ten years without really knowing what I was doing and they thrive incredibly well. They even get flowers in the winter. Geraniums don't seem very popular among houseplant enthusiasts for some reason though.

For your humidity inside, I've been using a slow cooker I got at junk store. It didn't have a lid. I put it near the plants in the winter, fill it, and turn it on. It will steam. My sinuses and skin like the idea, too.

I watched your video about putting aquarium treatment drops in the plant water. They liked it better than plant food. I'm godsmacked

If you’re still having troubles with citrus tree, I would suggest that you put in in a colder spot in the winter. In needs a bright spot with temperatures from 5-10 degrees celsius, any more than that it really doesn’t like it during the winter season. At least that works best for lemon trees 😊 hope it helps 😊

Mine dies eventually because I left it when it was too cold ☹️

I find the more light I give to my peace lily, the bigger and wider leaves it grows. I live in Finland though, so maybe a south facing window here never burns any plant's leaves that easily...but the problem is that it has grown quite a monstrous sized plant, so it can't fit near my sunny window anymore. I can treat it as a furniture and divide space between the kitchen and the living room with it.

Yes that’s true. There are some plants , native in Mediterranean or in deserts in Africa or South America that need full sun to grow and we need to mimic their nature conditions. Succulents for example need full sun to grow - actually extreme sun make them much more vibrant and their colours turn into more pink or red they become much more colourful in general. Of course we need to acclimate them first. I mean if we take our sanciveria for excample from the darker spot of our house and put it immediately in full sun it will get burned. But if we acclimate by giving step by step one hour of sun first week two hours the second week etc our plants will get used to extreme conditions soon and they d love it. And they ll show you be looking more vibrant, shining , colourful and thrive - until the end of the summer they ll double their size. I live in Cyprus - small Greek island in Mediterranean and we receive strong full sun 40 degrees Celsius for three months in summer. My succulents and cacti, my sansiverias , my ficus and dragons love it!! And the colours of my succulents become really llike a rainbow

Agreed but under full sun also depends on the temperature, some places are abv 35'celsius to 40c are not suitable at all. Even succulents will get toast up! Thq

The spider 😳😱

I grow all of them in full sun. This spring they all got sunburn and lost some leaves but wasn't long before they had new leaves and are doing well. I am trying coffee tree this year and so far it's surviving well in full sun. Most of my plants survive full sun. I haven't adapted any of my philodendronns and pothos to full sun. They tend to burn to crisp when I put them out there or at least get bleached in the best case. Tradescantia can do well in full sun.

It’s never gotten burnt and I’ve had success planting rooted cuttings by putting them in the soil and leaving them outside in the full summer sun. It got really leggy in a west facing window and my cuttings didn’t survive planting until I moved it to my south facing window

Hi :) Firstly, I love your videos, they are all so informative, I've learned a lot so thank you! Secondly, I have a question that bothers me :) I recently bought ficus ruby, even tho I don't have a bright spot for it. I'm keeping it with my other plants under growing light with some of the natural morning sun (but it's away from the window). I was thinking can I place ruby outside on my terrace during the spring and summer so it can have more indirect sun or I should not move it? Woman who sold me a plant said nooo, it's an indoor plant, it will lose leaves when I bring it inside later, but I did see that some people keep them outside. What do you think? Would that be a risk? Thank you!

I live in Hungary, the climate is Mediterranean minus the sea. Our summer days are easily reaching 40 degrees and the sun is unforgiving. Sadly; I love green, leafy plants yet they don't seem to enjoy the climate here. I have a lot of plants which are very happy in indirect sunlight; they thrive a couple of meters away from my south/north facing windows (I don't have east/west windows; stupid I know). Yet I have empty windows seals at peak summer because my calatheas, monsteras, alocasias and even my got dam palm trees essentially fry near the window. Other than cacti; would you be able to suggest anything green which may enjoy being cooked alive in my very hot, dry and sunny window....? For context, the window I refer to is approx. 4 meters wide so I have a LOT of space to fill. I love big mean things as my dogs won't eat it and it looks epic from the road. Thanks in advance! PS. Love your channel! I recently discovered it and have watched most of the videos in the past week!
