Thank you for this video! My neon pothos has one strand turning yellow. Should I just take it out? Could it be overwatering or damaged roots when I repotted?
@daniohs, You're very welcome. Yes, prune out the strand turning yellow. Either cut it all the way back, or cut back to green above a stem node. It could be from overwatering or damaged roots from repotting, as both are possible. Make sure to water properly and provide the right lighting, and the plant should be fine. Occasionally pothos stems will die back.
I’m looking for live plants of purple tip calthea where can I find them?
Wow this was beautiful! I have one of these and was looking for more info as it grows and grows and normal we struggle with house plants. It seems like it loves the environment we’ve created. Thank you for the history in this. As a historian in my professional life, I value the depth of data in your video. Much ❤.
@aaronthomas2023, I'm glad that you enjoyed the video, and that your Chinese Money Plant is doing well! :)
Is there a part 2 or update? Haha! Looking to see if it's filled out!
@Ninkira, I'll be doing one soon!
but my other ne is working… thanks❤
Sorry, but this was a useless video
Thank you for the video!! For mealy bugs, I've found that a light sprinkling of bonide systemic granules goes a long way!!!
@lesliewheeler7071, You’re very welcome, and thanks for sharing that!
Hello Julie, it's been awhile but catching up to my FAV plant people!! Thank you for sharing, I have a Neon Pothos that almost got darker until I placed it near my Eastern-facing window, it's getting bright light and it reverted back to its beautiful Neon-green color!! Have a blessed day Julie!!❤
@aida087, So nice to hear from you! And I’m glad that your Neon Pothos is nice and Neon-green! You have a great day, too!
If you squeeze the red part some kind of juice comes out. Has no smell it’s probably water. I didn’t watch the video so idk if she mentioned it.

Tropical hibiscus 🌺? Yellowing leaves, I put fertilizer don't know what I am doing wrong besides locust eating my plant 😢
Can you add any moss at alls like the top
Hi hope you can help me again to clear up some confusion. Some of my violets have tight center crowns, which I have read is a sign of excessive light. However, these same violets have their leaves stretching upward, a sign of not enough light. I know that tight centers can also be a result of over fertilization. I'm not sure what to do!! Thanks for your help!
Very Helpful Vedio for My Dracena Plants. Thanks a Lot.

How often do you water? Do you water from the top or the bottom?
How often should I water this and how much water?
Thank you for all the info!!!!
Thank you so much for getting back to me and for all the information. I don’t believe I have any gnats in the house, I have the blue light in the plugs. It’s called Nevo and have caught maybe one or two gnats. I did try the peroxide but after a while I got tired of seeing those creatures so I just discontinued the wick watering. What are mosquito bits? Thanks for your help!
@donnaedwards3766, You're very welcome. The mosquito bits are a more permanent solution. Here is a short I did on them: ua-cam.com/users/shortshrjuzV4dy0k
I just bought an Anthurium and this is the first time I have ever witnessed this. It made it sound like it was a bacterial infection of somesort one a website when trying to do research. But I have not seen anything on the plant to indicate that it was unhealthy. thanks for the video
@KaySkywalker, You're very welcome. I'm glad you found the video helpful! Have fun with your new Anthurium! :)
Thankyou this is the original version!
@user-hk9qv8yw3p, You're very welcome!
Helpful video! I tried wick watering a couple weeks ago and almost microscopic creatures appeared in the reservoir. They were white, clustered together, and seemed to jump. I could not find an answer as to what they were so I discontinued the wick watering. Can you help? Please
@donnaedwards3766, It could be they are fungus gnat larvae. There are a couple of solutions. One is to add hydrogen peroxide to the water. If you have a half a cup of water in the reservoir, you would add 1 tablespoon of peroxide. The other solution is to use mosquito bits, which kill larvae in water. Once you get t rid of the infestation, you can remove the bits by changing the water. Generally, if you have fungus gnats you will see them flying around. They look like fruit flies. Yellow sticky traps also work to catch the adult fungus gnats so that they stop breeding. Even if the worms aren't fungus gnats, the mosquito bits should take care of them.
Is it normal that the leaves on the very low part are going yellow and they fall ?
@ghostvape8616, Yes, it is normal for some yellowing and falling off of leaves as the plant grows. Check out my video on growing these beauties: ua-cam.com/video/3CpEFNUQ9tE/v-deo.html
My potted avocado fell out and now is lying on the downstairs balcony and my downstair neighbours are away. My landlord cant contact them😢
@shaphyshaphy, I’m so sorry to hear that! Are you able to see if it came out if the pot and the roots are exposed? Can you spray water on it?

Hi! New sub here! I need some Ficus help! I recently got this beautiful plant. We’ve had her for about 2 weeks. I have lost 2 leaves so far, they turn brown then black then shrivel up. When we got her she was very wet. I have let her dry out and was going to water her today and fertilize. I’ve allowed 2 inches of top soil to dry. Hopefully this helps. We do live in Arizona so I have been misting morning noon and night as I have reptiles so I have a mister. I have her near an east facing window. I have a porch so natural no light touches directly into this window. She had a bud while in store and that is now about 4 inches in diameter. What could be causing some Leave to turn black ish brown then shrivel up? I have noticed small spots on the lower leaves and I don’t want to loose them. Any help would greatly appreciated!
video starts @2:20
"Thanks for the video! I usually research before getting a new plant, but this one looked sad and forgotten. Despite its condition, I saw its beauty and impulsively bought it along with another pothos for my collection. I might be developing a plant habit! 😅"
@dannyrosales9554, You're very welcome. I'm glad the video is helpful. And congrats on developing the plant habit--It's a great habit to have! :)
I just did the same to my Draceneas 😭. Did yours ever heal, and if so, how long did it take?
@almajohnser289, So sorry to hear that! Yes, it did heal, but it will take some time for new leaves to grow in to replace the browned ones. Just give it some time. As mentioned, the brown spots won't go away but the plant will put on new growth.
Thank you. I have learned so much from your video. @@HealthyHouseplants
@@almajohnser289 I'm so glad to hear that!
Why is the scheffalar umbrella leaves on top of one and a half foot tall plant folding in like collapsing unbrella. Thanks enjoy your channel

@B3an_th3_bak3dD, You're Welcome!
I have my first maidenhair fern. I think she was happy for the first three days and then things went downhill. I am trying to find the right location for her. I have gotten better about the water timing. She hasn't completely died and I am trying to prevent that from happening. She has some dead leaves and I am nervous to cut them off.
@hollywood3356, Watering, as you've found, is the tricky part of keeping Maidenhair Fern Alive. If she has some dead fronds, you do want to cut them off. Here is a revival video of a fern that got droughted that will help: ua-cam.com/video/D7KY2pbuUaA/v-deo.html

i just brought home a small onr from Walmart. It is pretty wet. i havent seen one since the 70s.
@laceycopeland9655, Exciting you found one of these beauties! If the soil is pretty wet, make sure to let it dry out some before watering, and that it's not in too big of a pot. A video about the correct size of pot:ua-cam.com/video/NXy8W8rz-Ec/v-deo.html

@@HealthyHouseplants Thank u. I will ☺️
This is why i'm not a plant pro and put it in soil & a pot and hope for the best. There's hundreds of things to think about with ever species of places. Its so overwhelming to know & learn itv all!!
Thank you. I just was given one of these plants and I’m still learning what to do to keep it alive. I’m sadly a known black thumb so when I accidentally rescued this one from near death the original owner gifted it to me. It’s grown three new leaves in the three weeks I’ve had it. It grew the first new one after the first watering I gave it. I don’t know how old it is. I know it’s a baby off one she’s had for a decade… it looks to be one third the age of its mother plant. I need to do more research to see how to get it to fruit and to see how long that should take with such a newer plant. Plus I need to figure out when I should transplant it because idk how long it’s been in this small medium pot 🤷🏻♀️🤣.
Thanks Knowledgeable video.

How come some people say these plants go outside the pot, not vertically? I just got a new one and I’m wondering if I should stake it
I got 1 a couple of years ago. It's been outside in full sun. During the summer, we get triple digits. I water it every day. It's huge now.
I’m in Sacramento Ca. My plant is outdoors in same spot for over 5 years. It’s yellowing fast for the first time. Is it dying ? It’s been Has been a very dry hot summer.
How to properly prune this plant. Came home after 1 week of vacation and found lots of the leaves on the floor and some branches were dry and dead so I had to clean it up a bit and water it. 3 days back and it already looks better but I’ve had it for a month and I want to fertilize it in the hopes that it will look even peppier. Please recommend natural food and fertilizer for this plant. Possibly send links of the ones you had in your video.
@conniemunoz1216, I will be doing a video on pruning gold fish plant soon, so stay tuned. As for the fertilizer mentioned in the video, which is mine, there is a link to it in the description, but here it is also: healthyhouseplants.storenvy.com/products/3985573-green-gourmet-houseplant-food / And here is a video on repotting and fertilizing the plant: ua-cam.com/video/SJzvddVk4IQ/v-deo.html
