MY WATERING ROUTINE - Part 1 

As a scientist just getting into houseplants I have quickly come to love and respect your common sense based approach! So sick of seeing all the ‘rice/banana/coffee water’, ‘diluted milk’ and ‘Mayo’ posts they make me physically cringe 😢 been at this game for 10 months and following your system my plants are absolutely thriving!! Thank you for bringing common sense into the world of houseplants 😅

When that Jacklyn was touching your micans I was so concerned about the spider mites transferring 😂😂😂

I would pace around my apt 24/7 and never leave if I had that setup. What a serine look/vibe. I'm so jealous. I just set up my first moss pole watching your video so hope my monstera bounces back and all my other plants grow as large as yours.

I just made some moss poles and repotted some plants while watching you water your plants. Quite relaxing 😊

Another super helpful video. Thanks for keeping it real and giving us such great, easily applied tips!!!

I am so happy you made this video. I was wondering how you watered your plants. I water mine on Sunday mornings. It takes 3-4 hours but it’s such a relaxing time for me. I really enjoy it.

Thanks for this awesome watering tutorial! Big fan here...I've watched 25 of your videos so far and find them equally entertaining and informative. I'm starting with Monsteras using your techniques in order to increase my chances for success. Winter in the US is a great time to start a new plant hobby. Thanks for the lovely inspiration.

Love your watering technic on the long moss poles, beautiful collection 😍

Great 😊 info, Brad surety loves those massages I’m glad you have him in your vid’s, thanks for sharing!!!

Saturday morning Watering, while watching you water. 👌👌

I definitely learned so much from this post!!! Thank you!!! Truly enjoy all your videos!❤️

I love watering plants 🌊🌱... and your routine is so relaxing 🥰😉😘

Jan... The cutest Brad!!... I'm always tempted by his adorable behavior😊... It's okay...long enough duration, visiting your apartement, still feeling motivated by some things. First, every creature needs to drink. You give me good examples so I can understand each plant when watering it. Cool!.. Second, looking out your kitchen window, I can see the vast expanse of the atmosphere. Being tired after being very busy in the kitchen...you look out the window then walking inside enjoying the beautiful plants...while drinking a cup of warm sweet tea. Fun!!... I'm learning so much, writing the names of the plants. Jan...Thank you so much.. I'm proud of you...👍🥰💚😊

Haha your cat stole the show!😆 I have 60+ houseplants and water them in a similar way- over a bucket and let them drain. Except I use rain water 😊 Overall the video is great and very informative- thanks and greetings from Poland!

48:30 I still cannot believe that is an Adansonii. I love your videos so much. Sooooo informative and helpful AND inspiring. Thank you! I've never owned a houseplant in my life. I'm 35 and just randomly decided to pick up this hobby, and now I have 12 plants in my bedroom and an IKEA Baggebo on the way haha. When I get in to something I tend to get obsessed and go BIG. I have this "nook" in my bedroom from a south-facing Dormer window so it's the perfect spot to grow plants in. Hope to fill it with some monster-sized aroids like yours. :) I also live on a farm with a lot of land so I see a greenhouse in my future! :D

Oh yes thank you! I’m learning so much!❤

Love your oxalis! I've never seen someone grow it indoors

Great video. Look forward to part 2.

I learned a lot from you! Thank you so much for sharing! Love your 🌱

Amazing video!Amazing plants!Amazing person!🌿💚🌿

That one tip about just watering the moss poles a little at a time like with the cebu blue is a huge game changer.

A wonderful indoor plants.I am really enjoy in watching these plants

Love your videos, love your plants and your passion for them. Now it makes so much sense on why you don't actually water the pots that have a moss pole. Omg I can't believe you left that plant with spider mites just sitting there lol I was freaking out for your other plants lol only because I have been dealing with thrips for a while and just seeing pests puts me into panic mode hahaha. Brad is the cutest by the way. Thanks for all the great information.

Garage looks 👍... Indiana is raining, I like using my router instead of those chisels you have hanging back there lol

Good tips for watering ,you do have a few bottles for it👍 💚🌵☘️🌱

Love this video. Very helpful :)

Thank you so much for sharing 😀

I use a moisture meter, making sure the needle is in the ‘dry’ zone before I water.

I love watching your videos u have helped me so much I watch u a!l the time this helps me so much. Great job Jeannie from

I leaŕning how grow plants and X or Y from your i,m verry happy i,m sri lanka 🙏

Thank you, very well explained

This was great, and answered so many of my questions! One that I’ve meant to ask for ages is from where do you get your clear pots?

Love this video! I’ve always been curious on your watering routine. Great insight. Question, do we get a bit of info on your camera person? ☺️

Best watering video ever

Transparent plastic pots, so useful - why haven´t I thought about it before? 🤔 I´m going to copy it 🙂

I love these long videos because I can watch them at work lol

Love your plants, from Midlothian, Texas USA

Very comprehensive guide as always! So my question is what do you do to prep if you go for a vacation for over a week or longer? Have you tried the jug with a wick into the soil method, or other some kind of self watering system?

Very very beutiful,I like house plants.

Hey man ive been a long time follower and fan of your page i have about 8 moss poles in my home now that were inspired by your videos, my adansonii is over 8 feet tall and all my plants love climbing and rooting to their poles, the challenege ive had letely is my poles drying out extremely quick but the growing medium in the pot staying moist. How do you keep your poles moist without overwatering the soil because when i use an upside down water bottle it will often run through the moss too quickly and into the soil

Hi SPG! It’s glad to see you moved successful with your plant partners😍. Can I know what pesticide will help to get rid of gnats and white flies. I used neem oil and soap solution and then vitality plus and too but couldn’t help. I still can see few around my plants. Can you please help.. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge ❤️❤️❤️❤️

very nice

Thank you for this vidéo 💚🇫🇷🙏

Lovely monstera 👌🍃

Great video as always thanks Jan 🙂. How many moss poles have you actually got? You might need to get rid of that pesky ceiling soon 🤔 Balcony plants look great despite wind and sun and being the not so loved. Kisses to Brad 😘🐈. Do you let him out onto balcony or would he try to climb?

Dankeschön das hat mich sehr interessiert 🌱👏👋🇩🇪

Such a great video! I wish there is a company which makes sets, like plastic pot and ceramic because its hard for me to find compatible ceramic pots ( i live in eu)

Your page is a godsend. Can you make a video on propagating clippings. I fail about 50% of the time

Quite off topic but I really enjoyed seeing that ragged box next to your crawlers. It's something every cat owner will notice instantly. Those darn boxes we keep stumbling over, that always look like sh#* after two weeks (despite a lot of effort given) and that we still love to watch those furry little best-friends sleeping in, shooting us feisty looks because for some reason unknown to us they think they are an imperator 😂

I live in the middle of America and it’s very dry here, I keep humidifiers on pretty much all day, but I have to water my moss poles every 4 days. They are still small moss poles if that has something to do with it, but I have to water them often but I don’t mind.

If you're going to water the left over from the pail to your balcony plants, are you confident that if the other plants had pests it won't transfer over? Wanted your view before I start doing it too. :)

This was awesome! I use the same general approach for moss poles. My only issue is I find that if I want the pole to be properly moist, there is almost always water that collects in the cover pots and it gets gross and causes rot on the roots reach down into it (if I don't take the water out every time with a syringe, which is a hassle because the plants are so heavy). Do you ever empty that water or you find it just doesn't get gross?

Thank you for sharing. I found your videos for the first time today and I’ve already learned so much! Btw what’s the name of that elongated plant on your left side?

You can make a video of the substrate you use for your plants. Please.

Thanks learnt alot from your video (again). I'd like to ask the plants outside do you leave them there all winter.

Thanks Jan for the videos! I’m so enthused - went out to buy all my mosspole materials and made 3 at one go for my monstera. Thanks for the inspiration! One question: my monstera is not yet having any root clinging to the moss pole. Do I still water the moss pole? Afraid of root rot in pot. Appreciate your advice 🙏 forget to mention I live in a hot n humid climate.

nice flowers....the treatment must be extra...greetings from anglear black green Indonesia...always healthy and successful.... Amen 🤲🤲🤲

I'm not even able to take care of myself as good as you take care of your plants

Nice video and very thorough! Is the entire moss pole saturated after watering? Or do you leave the bottom part dry for the water to work its way down into?

I really enjoyed this video but having some time stamps would help for referring back to it since it’s so much information :)

I can hear the Micans screaming: GGGGet The F Away From Me!!!

I use clear plastic pots now per your suggestion and see that water stays for several days trapped. Almost wondering if I should drill additional holes in the sides of pots to get more air circulation especially for my root rot prone plants like Monstera Thai Constellation and Hawaiian pothos. Any suggestions? Do you ever use any Hydroperoxine or aquarium bubbler stones with water propagation?

Hi , busy rewatching all your video , like your plants I absorb more info each time I am really into moss poles , having fun Where do u get your clips from Thankyou

the way you say moisture is so hot 😂

LOVE THIS 🔥🔥🔥 how do you keep them hydrated when you’re out of town for more than a week?

Love your videos and beautiful plants. Not sure about the amount of use of the plastic bottle though!

Do you have a detailed video on watering? I'm definitely an over-waterer and so is my husband, so we would love to watch a video on readiness signs of watering! I'm using your potting mix in clear pots. Thank you!

Rainwater is actually pretty cold, that's how rain water forms in the clouds and that's also how hailstorm happens.

Such a great video! Could you please show the bathroom squamiferum in a video? Grüße from Deutschland

Moss breaks down and degrades after a couple years, so how do you change the moss inside your moss poles if the plant has established roots on it? Enjoyed this video.

Have you ever used (or would you ever) beneficial bugs to help prevent mites, thrips, etc.)?

Have you tried out just putting a solo cup in the top of your poles that you can't put a bottle on? Still slow releases but you can just fill that up instead of having to slow poor

Noooo I have spider mites!! I needed part 2 now 😩😅😅

Thank you so much for this video! I've watered my Monstera Deliciosa on a moss pole by the same method (watering the moss pole). I use about 1L of water and the bottom leaves going up the stem have yellowed and died. I wait until the moss pole is dry before I water and don't water the soil. Am I watering too much? Thanks for your time!

Hey man, love your content! Got a question. I've heard you mentioning in a video of yours that you fertilize "weekly-weekly". Does that mean every other week?

Do you know much about Piper ornatum/crocatum? I got mine on discount bc it wasn’t in the best condition. It’s pushing out lots of new growth (even though I’m in the USA) but 2 leaves on it are curled upwards so badly it’s almost formed into a tube. They were like that when I bought it, figured watering issues, but they will not uncurl, even now after months of consistent watering and it’s obviously happy enough to push out new growth. I’m thinking I may just cut em off.

The dude who makes remixes out of game grumps videos needs to watch this 🤣 47:06

🌿💚💚💚

Is there a reason why you only have so few moss poles with a plastic back? I'm about to make some but I was wondering why you didn't had more. Thanks! :) Edit: still can't believe I watched two hours of you watering your plants. 😂 Love your content, great videos as always!! Cheers from Canada. 👋

Hey, I like to see your video s ..I'm learning a lot. One questionn, do you fertilize in winter month too?

Thank you for your great videos small question? Can we put Burle max on the pole ? And is that possible for it that leafs go big or not ?😊 thank you 🙏

I made the mistake of putting my Gloriosum in regular universal soil with perlite. Thought putting some more perlite in than recommended, it would be chunky enough but the long pot dries out very unevenly. Will replace it with aroid mix soon

The kitty steals the show.

Nice bottles… do you still get them from the “upside down bottle shop” ?

Is your beautiful queen staying in the IKEA cabinet forever or is she nearly big enough to try outside the controlled environment? I'm nowhere near anthurium level yet, lol😍

What did you mean when you said you use Foliage Focuse "weekly, weekly" Is that every week or once every 2 weeks? Big fan my man, made my first moss pole this week with exactly what you suggest from Bunnings, keep up the wonderful work!

Hi Jan, I’m watching your moss pole playlist… my question is, in this video at 19:28 I see that you cut down a clear pot. I have done that also but I was too worried the cut edge would damage the leaf stems. Have you ever had damage from that?

how do you drilll the holes in the caps of your water bottles? safely - top side down or up? what size drill bit? I tired and made them too big and the little bugger kept slipping out of the way

Where do u get the clear big plastic pits I really like that type of plant please say where I can find a clear plastic pot.I love watching your videos km Jeannie from Wisconsin.

Awesome video! I follow the same weakly weekly watering method with GT fertilizers and thorough watering with a chunky aroid mix. Learned a lot about watering moss poles watching this! One question, are you concerned at all about plastics leeching from the bottles into the water? Or is this something the plants aren't bothered by? Thanks!

I love your excellent video ❤. Can I use tap water? If so how can I use it, Thank you 🙏

Is it ok to use a indoor plant bug spray weekly or so as a preventative?

Where do you buy your transparent pots?

sorry out of topic, but i loved your cap, what brand is it?

What kind of soil you use for alocasia? And micans pls. It look like orchids soils

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊

one quick question can I completely hose down moss poles with normal water and then use fertelizer ??

where did u buy the big rectangular pots for your crawlers? do u have a link?

Are you using only a lower concentration of fertiliser? 5ml instead of 10? I know you adjust for summer and winter but do you ever use 10ml concentration?

Where do you get your pots?
