Hello good morning friend ☺️

🥰🥰 thanks Bobby

True… but sometimes the harmful bacteria especially that manifest on the leaves causing defects, I try to treat where possible - but not always 😀

Thank youuuu. Welcome to the channel. Best way to keep in touch is on my instagram @bo.tan.ist Ive actually never set foot in Sumatra before despite my parents bring born in Medan. Hope life is well with you where you are now

@@onlyplants Thank you. After being in hermit mode, life is opening new doors for me. I’m on a new journey. And since I enjoy plants, I’m letting that lead the way. 🌱💚

Ouuu yes the Anderson is a whole new level of gorgeous

Thank youu. It brings me lots of satisfaction and joy producing these videos 🥰

Welcome to the channel 🙌🏽

Interesting… I wonder who it was bred with…

@@onlyplants it might be a spontaneous mutation from TC or a hybrid between other different cultivars (like Red Anderson which is a hybrid between Pink Princess and White Wizard). This plant has so many cultivars it seems it mutates easily. There are the ones I know of: Pink Princess, White Wizard, White Knight, White Princess, Red Anderson, Golden Goddess, Painted Lady, Black Cardinal, Chocolate, Ruby, Imperial Red, Red Emerald and Green Emerald... but I can feel there are many others. It's almost like Epipremnum aureum!

@@onlyplants Unfortunately - as often - there's no patent to be found. As far as I know though, the 'White Knight' - along with the Princesses and the Wizard - are ascribed to Robert McColley. He created an insane amount of different hybrids in his nursery in Florida, mostly in the 70's. Some of which he had patented, most he had not. Some of his patents include the 'Painted Lady' and the 'Black Cardinal'. Almost every patent describes the parentage as follows: "[...] parentage included Philodendron hastatum, erubescens, wendlandi, imbe and an unidentified species." For those who are interested: You can find copies of each patent on google by simply tiping the name of the cultivar and/or "Robert McColley" resp. "Cora McColley" (some patents were formed by his wife after his death)+ "patent". Isn't it frustrating not to know the parentage... always bums me out a little 🙄 Last but not least: Love your videos, Sean! Please keep up the great work. You're one of the few that offer in depth knowledge. Your love for plants really comes across in your videos and that's just heart warming ☺

😀😀

Higher Humidity will encourage healthy aerial roots, which makes propagation easier later 😀 but I find they dont need nearly as much humidity as other aroids

@@onlyplants Hello Sean. Oh man, I am such a mess. I got a greenhouse to encourage growth like I mentioned, and killed like 10 of my favorite plants 😭😭😭 My white princess, white knight, verri burle Marx, philo silver sword..and so many more. I am such a mess. The money wasted is a whole separate issue. They were my favorite ones! I thought I had acclimated them well but apparently not. SO stupid! Most of them are crispy and just crumble away when you touch them. Some, like the white knight, had no roots yet. I don't think there is any life in them, but how can I best help them recover from sun stress if there is? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Sean. (Not so) Happy planting, lol 🌺

Thank youu 🥰🥰

Hehe they are so affordable now. Do look into the philodendron anderson they are more red and frankly speaking I love them more

🥰🥰

Thank youuu ❤️❤️😀

Its so easy and fast growint 😀

Thank you. 🥰

Thank youu

Thank you 😀

Not more fertilizer in general, its the Nitrogen that promotes green leaves, you can use fertilizer mix that has less nitrogen.

Do increase light and use fertilizer with less nitrogen ratio to encourage more variegation. And if it reverts, worth to cut it up and start over the lower nodes should put out variegation

Thank you 🥰🥰

😀😀 hope you find one at a decent price. They are so fast and easy.

@@onlyplants I have the prince of orange and dark lord they grow fast. I wish I lived in Indonesia I would plant in yard. But in Texas we have to use pot or they freeze

Thank youuu 🙏🏽🙏🏽😀

Makasihh 🥰❤️

Yayeee its a survivor this one. Propagate often they actually look nice in a small bush

Heyaa 🙌🏽

For more mature plants yes you should give a pole for support 😀 for a young plants thats still clustered into a rosette there isnt need for one yet

They are so easyyy 😅 I dont know if I ever needed to make one.

Yes it can be a bit confusing 😀 this is not one for beginners to cut

❤️❤️

Haha it was a very satisfying twirl

Oh nooo blight is evil! I have learnt to spray fungicide on everything once a month or so

The White wizard doesn't have the red on the stems, this one is the White knight

@@od.vandeveer oh thank you for that information, I know now what to look for.

Do also look into the anderson variegated. That ones secretly my fave

I would incorporate fungicide spray on the leaves as a routine.. every 1-3 months will do. I find it cuts down these fungal infections a lot when I treat all my plants with this spray. They are not particularly harmful to us too.

Thank youu 🙏🏽❤️

Ooh thats not normal… it might be a bit stressed. Give it good care and time. If in doubt, propagate later. The new plant should be more adapted to your space.

@@onlyplants I wish I could post here a picture so I can share how it looks like. The new leaf had grown taller and yet to open. The tallest stalk had completely dried its leaf and like the 3 of it's predecessors, I will need to cut it off for the rest of the 3 stalks to thrive well.

Wooh I dont own the plant actually… but a warocqueanum video is coming soonn lol

@@onlyplants ah, i think its time u to get a veitchii hahaha

Hallo itu olesin activated charcoal powder, bisa nemu di tokped. Aku pake yang food grade. Sebenernya propagating plants tidak butuh fertilizer, malah kadang bisa bakar akar nya. Tapi untuk slow release fertilizer kayak osmocote aman karena dia butuh waktu bulan2an baru ada efek nya. Sifat nya slow release.

Ohh no you dont have to light it at night. Ive never measured light but you really want to give it very bright conditions without it being direct light. Artificial light of any kind works too its a matter of strength of bulb and distance from it. With some experience you can be able to gauge a good light level for the plant. It can actually thrive in a wide range of light level

It can be a variety of reasons… from the environment, stress from sudden change, insufficient or over fertilizing etc… If in doubt, propagate it. You will get multiple plants and also the new plants are going to be adapted to your environment and care.

Haha thank you Terry

I would go with balanced NPK instead. Like 13:13:13 😀

I have some fern videos in the channel already but its a good idea to make more hehe

I use activated charcoal powder that is food grade. Its best to let them dry out a bit… but I tend to forget to water them later so I pretty much always water right after the cut. But it is wise to wait a day or so 😀

It could be a variety of factors… over or under watering, loss of root, or pest. Some of these weakened leaves may never perk up again but you should check on the new leaves, make sure they are nice and healthy.

Do type in “onlyplants aroid potting mix” on the youtube search bar theres a video detailing my mix for philodendrons and other aroids

@@onlyplants Dude your AMAZING! the first 1min in your video. This is Exactly what I was looking for. Nice and clear instructions for my plants. Cheers for this !!! :D

I usually dont sterilize wound when propagating in water. I felt like it the water would wash away the charcoal anyway 😅

Just water 😀

Yes they are a bit prone to bacterial spots. But after few sprays of neem oil and fungicide, Ive never seen those come back. They are somewhat infectious. Some philodendrons like the birkin is prone to the same bacteria

You can use chemicals or natural pesticide. But actually fungus gnats are signs of overwatering. Try to keep the surface of soil dry, you can do this by bottom watering or letting the plant dry out more. Dry topsoil will prevent gnats from laying eggs, breaking their life cycle

Oh they will thank you for it 😀

Its the dormant growth bud that each node has, where new shoots could potentially emerge from 😀

Its been alright yo, considering the world’s gone mad. Hope all is well with you where you are. ❤️

❤️❤️

It depends on the size of window and your location. It might be getting too much direct light in the summer time in some geographical location. The key is to give very bright but indirect light as much as you can ❤️

They’re different! I feel like this is a white wizard. Pretty sure white knight has green stems.

Never mind! I googled and I have white knight. The red/purple stems are white knight. White wizard has green. My seller told me mine was white wizard, def not lol

No. White Knight has red stems. White Princess has green stems. White Wizard has green stems, but the leaves are more round and full, not narrow like White Princess or White Knight.

Thanks guys!

Hiii 🙌🏽
