    That graft could never have worked bc you have to line up the vascular ring in the center of the cacti for them to sustainably connect. Theres only one center per specimen. They MIGHT try to grow together but they wouldn't live too long without the vascular rings lined up. And yes I may not have the exact proper terms but that's what it is.

    Mandy Larsen I'm honestly much more interested in how they achieve the special effects than the actual topic of the video. A much more interesting video would be the short itself and then a sped up super cut of them cutting down a plant and then showing it in reverse to make it seem like it grows. I believe that is a genre that exists on KZread, random videos and then showing behind the scenes. It's much more interesting than cutting a plant to put a different plant on top of it

    Thank you for making this video! I have always thought the 5 minute videos were ridiculous, but some people I know get sucked in by them and then are disappointed when most of the “hacks” don’t work. I own a variegated jade plant, so they do exist in the real world. Mine has more contrast to the variegation than the one in the video. It is highly variegated with creamy almost white stripes and half moon leaves contrasted with dark green, a bit darker than my normal green jade. Because of the high variegation, it grows much slower than my normal jade plant. I wish KZread would let me show you a picture. I live in the United States, and once in a while we get the variegated jades at my nearest Lowes garden center, though not terribly often.

Shove them all the way down into my deep substrate where they can decompose and feed rooted aquatic plants. My hygrophila seems to especially love that! EDIT: ORGANIC bananas only.

    Looks like the first one is an extremely ambitious attempt to graft several cacti together. Plants have to be a certain amount of genetically similar in order for that to work, so odds are at least a few of their grab bags were incompatible, and likely the cut on the large one was too severe for it to survive.

    You actually CAN grow some mushrooms using coffee grounds. The mushroom they're "growing" in that video doesn't look right, though. Probably the most common one to be grown with coffee grounds are oyster mushrooms (pleurotus genus), but they do better if you mix it with sawdust from a tree that it can grow on (it's favorite is poplar). They can even be grown in plain cardboard, and I've even seen oyster mushroom mycelium eating a cigarette butt in a petri dish.

I'd had it 5 or so years, still in it's og pot, same soil... and it flowered for the first time since I'd bought it. It's the iron oxide - "Rusty nails can provide the iron to help your plants thrive. The iron will reboot your plants’ ability to synthesize chlorophyll and improve these structures and functions of their chloroplasts. The rust also increases the acidity of the soil...".

    The grafting of succulents/cactus on top of dragon fruit root stock or other fast growing column cactus is a common practice. It helps the grafted cactus grow faster then it would normally.

I think the purpose of the water bottle in the middle of the bowl was only as a weighted object to keep the cuttings tidy and from floating away.

    The wax one is a good way of propagating plants like bamboo and dieffenbachia, obviously it doesn't do what they say. It prevents infección and stem rot. You put wax on the tip that way it doesn't rot and a shoot will start from a node.

    The one with the period pad was so strange. For starters, the plant looked like it was in a plastic pot without drainage which will keep the moisture longer anyway. The pad has a layer of plastic so maybe it’s supposed to prevent the water from sinking deeper into the pot. If the roots aren’t long enough, why not plant it into a smaller pot? 😅 To me it looks like it will most likely cause the soil below the pad to rot, wouldn’t it?

    I actually think the bottle in the bowl wasn't too bad of an idea. I think it helped keep the leaves arranged and pointed outwards rather than floating around in the water without structure. The rest of the hacks, though, absolutely ridiculous and unnecessary. XD As can unfortunately be reliably expected from 5 Minutes Craft. Also ohmygosh what is that beautiful plant behind you! The one with the purple red leaves?

    Maybe the bottle was to keep the leaves out of the water? I don't think it would work very well. Variegated Jade IS a thing & very beautiful! I want one! Nope! That's NOT corn sprouts!! As if cooked corn would sprout in the 1st place! I've worked in plenty of vegetable gardens, corn grows wide blades, not strings! Again you're right. I grew a Mango once. I just stuck the unpeeled seed in a pot & it grew nicely. I missed the weather one night & an unexpected cold snap hit that & I lost it & an avocado plant! I was so proud of them!! 😥 I MIGHT try the Watermelon, but put it out in the yard as a novelty, then pot it up when the waterman is gone. Never mind! The critters would eat it first! Spiky Watermelon? Never saw one! Cucumbers have little spines. There are spiky melons, but they don't look like cactus like that one did! Nope!

    The bottle I would think would help keep the leaves from sliding down into the water completely. That watermelon hack would stink up to high heaven in a couple of days. Have you ever put a eaten slice into the trash and not take the trash out right away? Pew!!! Using a raw egg would tend to stink also, I would guess.
