In this video I'm doing my most challenging chop&extend yet: My Philodendron 'Glorious' (melanochysum x gloriosum) was getting way out of control so it was time for a bit reset.

People don’t realize that your plants don’t just thrive just because you live in Australia. They thrive because you are like you stated “consistent “. Well done Jan thank you for being an inspiration 💚🌸 Hugs to Brad❤

Jan, I also had to 😂at the comment "your plants are large cus you live in Australia ",I'm glad that you address this as I'm in Adelaide and as you say, "condition "plays a big role in the success of your plants, as well as nutrients, consistent etc.I can't stand humility, so therefore my plants don't get the "optimum" condition as in summer air-conditioning is on constantly and in winter heater is not on at all 😅. So I know that plays a big role in the size of my leafs growth, but besides humility the plants are relatively happy with the constant nutrients upside down method of watering to maintain moisture in the moss pole 😉, say hi to Brad and a cuddle too 🥰

Fellow Australian plant lover here (Brisbane) - being in Australia is somewhat an advantage in terms of the warm and humid conditions BUT also creates a heap of other issues us plant parents need to manage ie you know your babies are gonna cook in one of our many heatwaves or completely dry out if you miss a watering. It’s a whole different ballgame 😂

Waw ! Such a beast you got there! You did an amazing job with it, congrats ! 👏🏻👏🏻 Cant wait to see the evolution of this top cutting. I wanted to mention that at 4:05 you talked about glorious and EFN. Actually, the sugar like liquid on the leaf is not EFN, but nectar. Sorry if this sound pedantic but I've read a lot of confusion about it. The liquid is the nectar, produced BY extrafloralfloral nectaries. EFN are secreting glands, not the liquid. Also a lot of people said that the brown spots on the leaves are normal because they are EFN, but in fact these brown spots are just burnt leave spots, caused by the nectar secreted by EFN, but no the brown spot is not EFN. 🤓

@amyheckathorn7172 5 месяцев назад

28:58 You live in Sydney and the rain and humidity, and not having to run AC, does give you some advantage. I live in Arizona in the US. The Sonoran Desert! 🌵 My plants definitely struggle. I run a humidifier, it feels like the moisture instantly evaporates. I have to buy distilled water for the humidifier because the tap water is so full of minerals, it will leave a white dust over everything. I have an older apartment that was built to keep out all direct sunlight. I love plants and didn’t have any houseplants for years because there was not enough ambient light from the sun coming in. I knew I had to invest in grow lights if I wanted to keep any plant alive. I have to run the AC for 5-6 months of the year. Last year, every day of the month of July was over 110° F/43° C. (Don’t ask me why I live here, I don’t know.) I’ve been doing this hobby less than 1 year. It’s a struggle and I’m still figuring it out. I’ve decided I need a greenhouse cabinet is a necessity if I want these plants to thrive. This is becoming an expensive hobby. Don’t underestimate the impact of the Sydney climate on your plants!

@fluffy_mcsparkle 5 месяцев назад

He said climate sets the potential, care realizes it. I agree that it is easier to grow in a nice climate but I think his point was about people who assume that with a tropical climate you don`t need to work at all because the plants grow themselves and no matter what he does the plants will grow huge and healthy. I understand his frustration, for me it is the same with people who think my plants are nice because I "was born with a green thumb" and they could not possibly keep any plant alive. That just shows ignorance about the actual amount of effort that goes into growing plants I think, as if I did not research and trial and error and invest a lot of time and money into this hobby to know how to grow plants in my conditions to be huge and mature, it is not JUST the "green thumb" or good climate, it is a lot more. That honestly goes for every person that is good at something like an instrument or art, people assume it is talent and therefore easy for them without grasping the thousands of hours of practice it takes to get to a professional level. I live in germany, it is very cold and dark for half of the year and the other half it is hot and dry, it took me a few years of experience but I am able to grow huge plants now. You have some disatvantages with your climate but you will learn to grow despite it and maybe even gain a deeper understanding about what makes your plants grow well.

@sydneyplantguy 5 месяцев назад

Agree with the comment above … never denied that I have an advantage, just saying I still need to realise the potential. You certainly have a disadvantage naturally but can be overcome … just saying it’s certainly possible, just maybe not at the time & effort you are willing to out in and that’s something only you can decide :)

Thank you for this video. It seemed more like what happens whenever I decide to chop my larger plants. There is always a mess and choices to make that are not clear cut. Can we see updates of the top cut of your plant? It seems as if you might loss some leaves on that one due to the small root system. I would be very surprised if you don't, but would really like to see what happens. If you can make that work without leaf loss you are truly a magician.

@sydneyplantguy 5 месяцев назад

Certainly expecting the plant to drop a couple of leaves in favour of re-establishing a new root system .... that's why I'm so annoyed for not getting on top of it earlier :) will definitely make an update video once there's news to share :)

Thanks :) I just fertilise with every watering because it's too hard to keep track. The brown color comes from a small about of GT rootzone on top of the GT Foliage Focus :)

Hi Jan, do you have any ideas against the dripping of the plants on the hardwood floor?

@kamilab8545 4 месяца назад

Wooow so big!!! Amazing. Would you not allow to callus the top part before planting? I’m due to my chop soon😍

@sydneyplantguy 4 месяца назад

I gave it about an hr or so to callus over but I wanted to get this over & done with :D

Hey jan. Love plants and videos as always. Yiu have helped me so much with my plants. Can i ask how u mount your PS32 together. I have some and cant work it out. Thanks.

@sydneyplantguy 4 месяца назад

I use the screw that’s used to mount it on the disk to mount them together (yiu need to unscrew the top of the bottom light and screw it in from the inside out of that makes sense ?!) it’s not a very official way 🤭🫣

It’s not a rant. It’s a reasonable response. I feel the same way when people are dismissive of the effort required to grow beautiful plants indoors.

Fair point hehe :) thanks!

Leaf rip beats snap any day xD Growing tropicals in scandinavia: at least we have air humidity going for us. Light tho? xD Sure, at least 3 months of the year xD

@sydneyplantguy 5 месяцев назад

At least you're heading into the good season now :)

Do you ever consider the PH when you are feeding your plants? Just ask because I have never heard you mention it in any of your videos. If you do feed at proper PH do you measure after you have added your nutes? TIA Love ALL your videos!!!❤❤❤❤

I never do :)

I want to put my verucosum on a pole some day but I dont want giant leafs. I already chopped my monsteras leafs because they blocked everything. Only left one leaf. How to keep the leafs from going big without compromising the health of the plant? Should I keep it away from the window? Should I even give it a moss pole. Or maybe give it a small pole and chop it before it reaches maturity? I am not sure.

Congrats on your overgrown Glorious😳. I totally get what you’re saying about having to provide consistent care for your plants to thrive & size up. I live in southern USA, but my plants can’t take all the heat & sun in the summer. I have to work with grow lights in all 4 seasons. Well done Jan, you should be proud of your accomplishment with plants. Thanks for being an inspiration to us plant parents!

I have a small philodendron that reached the top of its 60cm pole last week. I’m happy to keep it relatively small as opposed to extending as I don’t have heaps of space. should I cut it right back or only a little off the top? Thanks for all your helpful vids!

@sydneyplantguy 5 месяцев назад

The smaller the cut, the less roots & leaves, the more of a 'set-back' to the plant. If you choose to keep your pole smaller you will have to chop more frequently which means you'll induce more shock. Completely up to you, just note that you won't get the full potential out of the plant :)
