I had a stem that started to rot. I cut off the 3 heads off and got rooting powder. the biggest head survived and is it's own plant now. It's name is Frank. lol
This video is so helpful, thank you. I’ve had mine for a year and I recently repotted it and changed the soil, I am regretting it because the soil is very moist and my baby is droopy. I have to now repot to a better draining soil.
I had one we decided to put on the back porch. It got so big we had to chop it in half to get it back into the house! My current one is super happy. It just grew 5 foot air root. Does it need a post?
Hello. I have a few questions. With their initial enclosure can you have it "adult size" and then clutter it up or is that not recommended? If you do provide UVB would it be harmful for them? Is a diet of mice okay as well or can you also feed smaller rats for variety?
@luyandalamula9009 usually I've found with hatchlings in large enclosures tend to be very reclusive and fearful even if it's cluttered they hide most of the time and can be difficult with feeding versus hatchlings I've kept in tubs quickly become habituated to people and approach me for food as soon as I open the tub, I personally would wait till they are minimum 40cm ish before keeping in a display enclosure. Regarding UVB it's perfectly fine to use on them if you want to, and you can feed smaller rats instead of mice if you want to as long as it's appropriately sized.
Flaming hot cheetos lmao. I'd never seen those. They look insane. One day, when I'm finally able to get a snake of my own, I really want to get a male bredli, more than anything else.
Thanks so much for the v informative video. My homalomena is struggling this summer :( I live in no humidity, very hot temperature indoor (over 30degrees) and it is my first summer with it. I know its lacking water because the leaves are dramatically dropping, and now I am finding myself watering everyday. How would I know if I am overwatering? Do you recommend cutting the dropping leaves if they are not going back up?
@albamiga6509 no if you are needing to water every day ide look at repotting, it sounds like your soil isn't retaining any water or the plant has out grown the pot and there's more roots than soil, either way your soil should hold onto water for a few days, ide repott with new soil and go up one pot size.
hi i just watched your umbrella plant vid from 3 years ago and have a question . My umbrella plant seems to be drooping in my lizards tank . the stems are like leaning and some of the tips of leaves are crispy brown what would be the issue with that as i have 2 spot light leds on there as well as a biodude light bar too
It's honestly hard to say exactly as there are alot of factors to consider but the first thing ide look into is what spectrum your lights are putting out, most plants like a spectrum between 6500k to 7500k , because you have a few lights ide check the spectrum they are each producing isn't to high as this can burn the leaves and cause the plant to recede from the light, if your lights spectrum is fine though ide check the soil make sure it has a period where it almost fully dries out before watering again if it's wet constantly you might have root rot. I will say that sometimes umbrellas can grow kinda lop sided, I've got two I a green tree python enclosure and one insists on leaning forward for some reason. Anyways sorry for the long reply lol hope this helps.
@artwithlaur bottled water is fine if you want to avoid chlorine so would be fine for calatheas but it still has minerals so would probably upset a Venus fly trap it may depend on the brand of water you use though.
@veronicacarvajal4138 need oil can be harmful in high concentration to certain plants I've found some plants with thinner leaves especially velvety leaves are more sensitive to it, I use white oil as my pest treatment instead it's a petroleum jelly spray it's pretty safe majority of plants.
Mine has recently started getting some dots (almost looks like discoloration) on the leaves, with two oldest leaves yellowed and drooping. Any suggestions? ):
It's hard to diagnose exactly but generally leaf spots and yellowing leave is due to over watering, you want to water only when the soil is almost dry and have the plant in a well draining soil so it's not to wet to long, other than that it might be not getting enough light and therefore can't sustain as many leaves.
I got my green velvet today but the leaf that the new one comes from has been snapped off so it just has 2 old leafs can a new leaf grow out of old ones?
The hilarious thing is, my dad's asparagus fern, who was dying a slow death at our old house, recovered when we kinda just left it out in the yard *in the direct sun* lol. We've then since moved it into the south facing sitting room that has a giant magnolia tree in front and is crowded by a *very* large number of other house plants. It's growing so much we've been cutting it back to no avail... another shoot just starts growing. So if anyone wants to know where to keep an asparagus fern, the best place is apparently a south facing window with a tree in front and among many many other plants. Seriously though, the plant is a meter tall and a meter wide...help
My split leaf is spreading out more than growing straight up. It's growing new leaves, but the leaves at the bottom are really spreading. Is this normal? I have two of them and they're both doing the same thing. I have them in a screen room outside and they get morning sun.
@@VampyHannah I put a large zip tie on it, not tight, and let it like that for about a week. Then I cut the tie off and it's standing up! That was two weeks ago and it's still upright.
Thank you! Best, most comprehensive info video I've found. Mine is healthy but it wasnt growing. I repotted last week and she's showing me some new growth. (der! 🤭) I'm now thinking of revamping my back porch to house my larger plants in the summer. 🤔
Hello, I realize this video is a bit old. I’m hoping to get some help with my Dracaena. It grew to big for its pot was leaning and fell over. I repotted in a bit larger pot, but used straight indoor plant potting mix. The soil was extremely wet so I didn’t water it. That was about 3 months ago. I’ve been reaching as far as I can into the dirt and it does seem to be a lot dryer now. I’ve noticed the leaves are starting to get “ruffley” looking and the green seems to be fading in spots on some. I was thinking about watering but just am not sure. It’s about 5 ft tall. I wonder should I water her or repot. I really hope I can save her. Thank you for your time.
Provided the leaves aren't turning yellow but are just fading in colour or if the leaves are curling or getting crispy at the edges it most likely needs a water, if you want to be 100% certain ide recommended using a moisture prob in the soil, but if it feels pretty dry watering should be ok and probably needed.
I was actually wondering why my leaves feel sticky! Like the back of old sticky tape.. No matter how much neem oil I would spray on, it wouldn't budge! Would lukewarm soapy water help?
Awesome vid! What does it mean if they are laying on the ground chilling and randomly do this tail wiggle, not a flick or anything it’s like a wiggle from the base of the tail
Mine faces the window from a distance however the 2nd leaf has unfurled backward facing. There's only the dark wall behind. Would you know how I can counteract this?
I’ve had my Tree philodendron for 34 years. It’s pretty large (about the size of the ones you have there as I don’t want it so large it won’t fit in the house). I purchased it when my oldest son was a baby. They are so easy to care for.
What is white oil? I searched and found nothing specific for white oil, but lots for other types oil including one posting that describes how to make a white oil to spray plants.
When did you notice they go through their “growth spurts?” Or start growing into that pit bull head they’re known for? I’m curious. My boy is a Darwin/coastal mix and he’s 11mo(got him last month) and he’s TINY still
