Love how you show the process from the beginning and months later. No one else does this.

I love that your chanel is very open and you share your successes and failures, we need more content like yours that doesn't always show the picture perfect plant and also for us to appreciate the amount of work that goes into growing them before we bring them into our homes.

Love how often you post and how humble you are...and your plants are so beautiful!! My favorite houseplant youtuber

I have such good success with propagating my melanochrysum, I put my success to using a prop box with a heat mat underneath grow light on top, planting the cuttings into perlite has been awesome as I have seen roots begin within three weeks and within 6-8 weeks they are ready to plant into their growing medium, I’m actually addicted to growing these. I live in a climate that has four seasons in one day with the least amount being summer so my indoor climate is cold during autumn/winter, we often have the fire going so it is dry so I have to have humidifiers going in the house for my plants regularly.

I just bought a melanochrysum cutting. I’m very nervous but you definitely made me feel more comfortable. Thank :)

I just ordered a melanochrysum so I’m back to refresh my knowledge, I’m sooooo excited 😅☺️

Good morning,always watching how you take care your plants.🌿🌱☘️God bless 🙏❤️

I just got my first melano a couple months ago and it has TAKEN OFF. I knew that this plant was going to be one that started off small and would quickly overwhelm me with how large it is getting and so I thank you for making this video because I was not exactly sure how to go about trimming it back/taking cuttings from it. It’s quickly turning into one of my favorite houseplants though. I don’t want to speak for everyone in every region, but if you are looking for an easy to care for, beautiful, house plant, I would personally recommend this one.

I love how much time and effort you put into these care videos! Melanos are my dream plants and this info is so helpful, maybe if I ever get one I can have a chance at keeping it alive 😂

I'm obsessed with this plan from the first time I see it. So beautiful and elegant, the dark green, the velvet feeling, the veins of the leave are just so perfect. Such a beautiful thing! Still learning how grow them right.

I agree, My Melanochrysum also struggles a lot in growing and not doing well in my propagations. I just keep for myself now hehe It pushes new growth in the nodes of the mother plant but like yours, it dries out or produces significantly small leaves.

I would've kept the top cuttings intact in its airlayering vessel (roots untouched) until new growth has formed. Great vid as always!

I love that you take months to film one video! I try to watch all your videos.

Noted Tip again. If plant is happy, dont repot it. Wish that this video has come out before I repotted my Monstera Albo few months back. Not your fault and sorry for saying it in this Melanochrysum video. 😅 Now it is struggling. I am trying to air layer it like what you taught in a lot of the videos and it seems to be stabilising. Still need to thank you for the air layer tip. 🙇‍♂️

I was inspired to chop up my verru when I saw you prop videos. I'm so glad I did they're all doing so well. I will soon be surrounded by more verrucosums. I am hoping to be able to trade one of the verru for a melanochrysum

Nice video, u put a lot of time in it👍🏻...i have 2 melano .. I relies it that plant that just propagate will grow more faster in grow light ( red blue light) and with humidifier ... i buy pink princess that just cut in really small leaf in sphagnum moss media... i just think it never gonna make it but when i put in grow light and humidifier the growth just blown my mind 😂😂😂 it like 2 weeks and it already put new leaf ... and not just pink princess but also my propagate plowmani even alocasia .. so i think grow light ( red and blue) and humidifier is so soft that so good for propagate plant ....

Finally, Melanochrysum. I was asked to my self why Sean never filming his Melano. Now it just answered. I always using moss for Melano propagation, but it didn't make it at all. After watching your video, it make sense why my top cutting is not working, because they don't have enough roots #LeafToRootRatio. Since your top cutting succeed in water propagation, I will try it.

I live in South Africa. Nelspruit. It gets very humid in summer. I have tried all sorts of propagation. The best one for me is to put your cuttings directly into your potting mix and then keep your eye on your cutting, keeping it moist and pest free. You don't get as much rotting and die off. If a cutting is not going to make it, it will die soon after propagation.

My wish list

The browning in every shoot/unfurling might be because of misting, wet leaves can help the humidity but some bacteria's prefer to stay at cool and wet environment they might stay for too long and can rot those unfurling leaves. this applied different compare to wild because wild/natural habitat is more wide and spcae tallows to circulate air widely and properly. Btw I like all your videos. Goodluck I hope someday I can have plants like yous

Great video! Bevor I am buying again stupid stuff (horrible monstera variegata leaf), what is important when buying a melanochrysum cutting? Thank you very much and have a nice day!

Your videos are so helpful! I love that you film the progress over time so we can see the outcome. I have a little dilemma, maybe you or someone can help?: I am trying to rehab a Melano that I had shipped about 5 months ago. It did not acclimate well and lost all its leaves within a couple weeks of arriving. The roots were still healthy (albeit kinda small) so I stuck the now naked stem in sphagnum moss and put it outside (I live in an area with a very warm, humid climate). It’s growing leaves but they’re very small, not even half the size the leaves were when I got it a few months back. It gets bright indirect sun (under a covered porch that receives good morning sun and afternoon shade) and it gets Liquidirt occasionally. How do I get the leaves to grow bigger?

@onlyplants

3 жыл бұрын

It does take a bit of time to get bigger leaves. As side shoots usually revert to a much smaller age. But I would imagine that you got a few plants out of this? You seem to be caring for it right, do watch for spidermites. And finally just give it time... perhaps around a year to see decent sized leaves
