You're literally one of the most underrated and most entertaining content creators in "planttube" the quality, the content .. my chlorophyll is snatched.
My chlorophylls is snatched. What Even i have never seen gaylingo and botanical Words in the same room. Like yaaaaaasss Queen athurium come true henny get those vines. Snatch My peduncols make those flowers pop bestie You werk that sunsstressed
@@phytosexual Just saw lithops being sold in a gift shop as "The Unkillable Plant", as a factory packaged kit. Fair enough, that which is dead cannot die.
“Don’t shop for aroids on an empty stomach.” 🤣🤣🤣💀 thanks for all the laughs, the insight into your sweatshirt collection, and the super informative content!! 💚
"Don't buy variagated plants....thanks so much for watching..." you're my favorite. I love your videos lol. Also...lavender travesty is an amazing band name.
I found myself laughing uncontrollably in some segments of this video. Also I can only imagine the horror on some faces as you were cutting up some of these plants. It was so refreshing for this 68 year old grandmother. Love you and keep up the awesomeness.
RU-vid is dead. Expect for this channel. I love how incredibly sciencey and sarcastic you are, and your jokes are so incredibly niche and creative. Thanks for sharing your videos with us!
The way I’ve managed to get new growth on my calathea is to put it in a corner next to the humidifier and ignore it. Don’t move it, touch it, look at, enter the room without permission. PS I’ve lived that rural life. No fun.
Ah, thinking about the £ I have 'spent' (wasted) on pink princess philodendron ebay/ mercari cuttings which later died on me and wishing I had invested in a good therapist for the anxious/ preoccupied attachment style my calatheas have given me xo
Am I the only one who just likes a nice shiny green, healthy plant? My plain monsteras , philodendrons and pothos may be common af, but they’re happy and taking over my house and their poor variegated cousins are just struggling along side of them looking anaemic and sad
Watching you massacre that PPP was legit cathartic. I have a very oppositional relationship with mine, which was gifted to me. Half the leaves are torn from getting stuck. The pink chunks are turning brown. Yet somehow I’ve become emotionally invested in this plant that I didn’t even want. Maybe I’ll go all ginsu and make a PPP chutney & feed it to the person who gave it to me?! 😈
If they get stuck again try wrapping a dampened towel round the stuck leaf. Let it sit a lil bit then remove the towel and the leaf has it easier. If it still stuck, try that again and at last try to manually remove it
Yes, this is perfect, I will from now on pronounce DNA as d-nuh, I’m always here for wardrobe changes, and finally, I love the ppp chop. It’s one of those plants that everyone loses their minds over but I just don’t get it, to me it just looks like someone mixed all of the colors on their paint pallet and made muc. 🤷🏻♀️ give me those silvery bubbles all day long💜
As a fan of cheap plants, I was very happy to buy a variegated dwarf umbrella tree for £4 in my local Morrisons complete with pot. Living the high life 🤣
This video came at a PERFECT time! Me and my mom are still fairly new to plants; her philodendron birkin has been giving pure white leaves that died as soon as they unfurled. Now we know that our south facing window is a little too intense for him lol. Love how your content is genuinely helpful and thorough. You’re a real one bro
Yet another in-depth video. Thank you! I have to say, I personally don’t like most variegated plants, because like you say, dead plant walking… next time I do pick a plant for variegation, I’ll shoot for 30%
Moo is clearly too dignified for such a heinous act 😂 Your philodendron Florida Ghost looks happy :) and Lavender Travesty sounds like a nail polish name 💅
Well, talking about a monstera deliciosa "chimera" I found one a year ago, it started with few spots of variegation, six months later it turned out to be some kind of monstera mint with very high variegation
I needed this, physically, mentally, and spiritually, to get me through the full day of work and inevitable all-nighter I’ve got ahead of me 🤪🥴 you’re a gem 👑
When this video was posted i was literally at a plant expo paying $400 for a monstera Thai constellation and after watching this I am more reassured in my decision. good plant, good variegation😎
@@phytosexual it’s been 5 years since costa “announced” to release them. They announced last month that they can no longer give any date when they’ll release in the future as they are unable to TC them. I’d stop hoping for costa thai cons if I were you as this whole thai cons costa issue started some time in 2017 and now costa themselves practically owned up about them being unsuccessful in acquiring stocks.
I just took some trimmings from my White Knight philodendron and watching you hack apart the pink princess pained me so much. Also you are so funny, please continue to never give a shit
Lol you answered my question in the first few seconds. I do love a variegated plant but I was noticing that the tips to keep them variegated sometimes went against what they need to be healthy. I told my roomie I thought maybe it was one of those things where you appreciate the patterns in the moment, but that chlorophyll is a good thing and it's probably healthiest to let the plants green up! Love this channel, science plus snarky humor is always a win !
You’re the only plantuber that goes super in depth and the only plantuber that mixes irony with super helpful knowledge. I hope you have a hot girl summer 😙
When you started tearing up that pink princess I thought oh my g. He hates that thing as much as I do? Cathartic is the word. Thanks Nick for another entertaining and educational video. ❤🌱❤🌱
@@phytosexual Hi. I paid $65 (the most I had ever spent on a plant!) for a small pink princess philodendron from "Plants and Pameirin" about 5 years ago. After growing it for awhile, I wasn't happy with the amount of variegation I was getting, so I took the plunge and cut it up into 7 pieces. Two of them gave me nicer variegation, one of them no variegation, & the others were about the same as the original plant. The interesting thing is that the one with no variegation (my burgundy princess) grew about twice as fast as the others 🤷.
I love your videos. You’ve mastered informative knowledge w sarcasm and humor…. You are one of my top favorites. I don’t watch many plant videos as much any more and have unsubscribed to a lot of content makers but you keep things fresh. I often rewind a lot only to hear your punchlines again. 😂♥️
Your video comes at the perfect time, everyone is losing their mind on FBs NYC plant exchange this weekend about the new varigated "Pink Birkin". Those of us saying it's chemically induced and or just a new stage of the Birkin reversion get a lot of hate.
I like the idea of cutting plants like that. I try to wait to trim my plants back as long as possible because the cutting is so satisfying and I go over board.
You're absolutely genius, Nick! You make me laugh/cry, and I lurve it. Why do you not have millions of subscribers? What's wrong with the world!? Thank you for your incredible and solid content! ❤
You’re a teacher!!! That explains why ur videos r so educational. LOVE IT!!! Ur students must really enjoy ur classes. AANNNDDDD…the wardrobe changes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 you are a keke 🤣🤣. U love this video.
Loved this video, I have a lavender travesty in my yard. I love it. I keep it in a tree form and gives me plenty of opportunity to take stress out on it with pruners.
Im obsessed with your channel... i found you thanks to the "do you need grow lights to grow plants" video and am now binge watching them all. Loved every sweater in this video lol
Just found you and I find you oddly entertaining. Listening to plant analyses would not be something I expected to watch for more than 3-4 minutes and never expected to get a laugh out of. Nice work and great information.
Wanted to say the Botany lesson was fantastic & You are hilarious!😂🤣😁 I Learned , I Laughed , and I Loved when you cut up that pink princess. The editing was fantastic & can't wait to binge watch all of Your videos. Enjoy " what not to do or buy" videos. The safety scissor comment well... I died. We used to live in a 3 sq mile town @ the top of Cali & the Walmart kept my sanity with 2 young kids at the time so I can relate. Everything else was 30 min to 2.5 hrs away one way! Thanks for the valuable information. You might have saved someone $2k.
I bought a really nice Philodendron White Princess for myself when I got a new job. I have since realized that I really don't like Philodendrons, I kinda vibe more with bushy bois like ♥️ Calatheas ♥️. It keeps producing nice and "healthily" variegated leaves but also the mature leaves keep dying, so I've been considering chucking it in the compost. I'll probably sell it for best offer. I have considered turning it into cuttings for stonks, but I honestly can't be assed.
I sense this video as a very informative way on why you shouldn’t follow the route of ‘I’m going to buy this ‘black bean semi-skimmed milk burgundy philodendron albo variegata marginata’. I definitely won’t spend half the price of my flat on a plant that literally needs a miracle to survive for a week.
Just found your channel and I really like your vibes, and I get almost all my plants from lowes/walmart and I just love how cheap the "distressed" ones can be and how pretty they can be once they get so.e tlc
I don’t know how many you wore, like 5? but OMG you are like the funniest person on RU-vid - like I sit here cry-laughing watching your videos and then I cry-laugh even harder when I remember I’m laughing this hard at a plant video. I literally almost peed my pants when the random chopping started. Seriously you are so smart and informative and so hilarious and I adore you! Please keep making videos! I will definitely contribute if I ever stop being poor. ❤️
Okay, as far as I know, you seriously are the only person to masacre an albo syngonium & make a beet root salad from a pink princess on RU-vid and I thought it was fabulous lol, hey saute a spiritus sancti on your next video, I love how you research for your videos & educate us Nick, keep it up. 😁😁
I've a crimson princess hoya that has two spots of reversion. I left them on and they've completely stalled while the variegated majority is growing like a weed. Funny how that works sometimes
Thank you for carrying out this research so that I don't have to. Very helpful in allowing me to pretend that I'm watching a documentary for educational purposes. Bonus points for the gratifying PPP massacre segment.... I'm resentful of the existence of the one in my own collection (it was a gift, so it remains ...)
🤣😂🤣 I love your videos. Your humor ALWAYS makes my day. The surgery took me all the way in. I literally have tears streaming down my face. This was all was very satisfying and educational. Thank you!
Bo Burnham singing in my ear "but look i made you some contennnnt, daddy made you your favorite, open wide.." Ok im done being weird, luv u. P.S. ur hair looking silky bb!
I generally don't watch videos that are longer than 10-15 minutes, but with yours I always hope they are longer than 30! So educational and entertaining! The close up shot are amazing! 💚 What was the incident with the scissors though? Do we need to worry?
