Pruning Tips | Why We Do It And How To Prune Properly (With Demonstrations) 

It’s satisfying even watching someone else prune and groom their plants! I’m sure your plants thank you!!

Sean, this is the first time I've seen you so relaxed when presenting, even when you are filming away from home, that nervous energy was not there. Could be because you are now in your own environment, and a lot more relaxed mentally. Congratulations on all you have achieved so far. 💛

I usually get impatient watching long plant care videos but you're such nice company that I love watching your long videos! I don't know how the hell you managed to keep making videos and updating us during the move, but kudos to you and I hope you're having a better time settling in to your new place

So satisfying… trimming up plants and making them look beautiful again. Your new place is looking great. Thanks for taking us along

Your such a gentleman 😊 love your information in your AWSOME videos. I make a cuppa & watch & learn from your videos.. thank you so much…

I love this video so much! I LOVE pruning plants it’s so satisfying!

Sean, your smile is beautiful. 😇 And I really like the silent part, very relaxing.

Your voice and your passion for plants makes all of this overwhelming information much more easier to process! So thank you for that!! It was so enjoyable to see all the plants! 😊

I have SO much work to do in my yard, it's a huge block and it's sub-tropical where I am. It's been so hot and humid and intermittently pouring rain, the creek is so full... basically it's a jungle out there 😅😅 you've motivated me to get out there... once the heat backs off and it dries up!!

Thanks very much brother Sean for sharing how to purn and rehability the beautiful plants

Really appreciate the time u take to help everyone out with ur advice and time! Thank u so much

Glad to know that you should squeeze and shake your calathia. Learned something new. Thank you Sean

I too am merciless in pruning. Plants look better and don’t expend energy on the dead and dying. 👏👏👏

Good vid. Thank you Sean. Every stage has every dressing room. A green room? Yes.

thank you for showing how to tell the difference between over and underwatering. I am battling a couple plants that i have been thinking are over watered and after watching your video I think they are completely underwater ed ! thx so much for the time you take to really explain things…

You definitely look much happier in this video!

Very satisfying plant make over! 🪴😂 your camera woman did a great job! I know that frustration when cutting off a brand new leaf on a maiden hair fern. 😫 Hope you are well Sean! 💚 Natalie

Amazing how I find cutting bad leaves so therapeutic 😂

you had my attention from the beginning till the end.. had good tips and info that I never knew about. I couldn't stop laughing at "The caterpillar "... Thank you #onlyplants for taking time out to make this Video.

Enjoyed this. I May have to request other plant vloggers to do same content, this way I get to see their plants up close

Very relaxing and informative!

Love to see how you do your cleaning-up!!!❤️👍

The "caterpillar" impostor 🐛😅

Thank you for this incredibly soothing video! I'm having with my first experience with pests after 7 months of being a plant parent- thrips, extreme difficulty. This is while we're getting less daylight, a lot of rain and cloudy days, and a cold front where temperatures will drop to freezing for about a week. I know that pests and death are a natural part of plant life, but it's hard not to be discouraged when a lot of my plants that weren't doing well last month are pushing out new growth (in particular, a root rotted calathea medallion that I rescued from a local nursery, which I split up into individual rhizomes and almost all of them sprouted new shoots! Couldn't have done it without your videos). I'm scared for my plants, but the biggest lesson I've learned from your channel is that plants live, they die, and they live again (to quote Mad Max lol). So it brings me comfort to see someone else's plant collection recuperating!

Hey, Sean. Was looking for a good video on this topic since my plants lookd kind of overgrown. Right on time! Huge thank you for your channel and informative videos!

very good info! Thanks!

Thank you. This was very informative on the many illnesses of plans and how pruning can help: Leaves have their own life cycle and decay: doing maintenance pruning on dead leaves will allow the energy of the plant to go towards new growth. Illnesses: Browning on tip with yellow lining: -Plants expel water to the tip of the plant, so when it's over watered the excess can't escape and it turns brown and dries up. -solution: Browning on the side or middle of a leaf: -Likely fungal or bacterial infection -Make sure not to let the leaves touch other plants Solution: cutting along the dried brown so that green isn't exposed (or else the open wound can become reinfected) Fully dried up leaves (underwatered) Solution: prune off dead leaves completely if more than 50%, because it's using more energy to sustain a sick leaf than it gains from photosynthesis Brown or black crisping on leaf without yellow line: -underwater Repotting: When repotting, some of the roots may be stripped away (perhaps if you have root rot or in his case moving) -Now the plant is sustaining the same amount of foliage with half as many roots Solution: trim away some of the green so the energy from the roots can sustain the plant

Arghhhh i screamed along when you accidentally cut that baby leaf!!RIP..😹...Hello from KL..Loving ur channel so much!!

ah... the rush sound of dried leaves pruning is so therapeutic.

Lots of love from St Lucia.

I loved this entire video. My only disagreement is where you mentioned sheering away the "brown" edges for a hot date or any other company. Next level plant betrayal right there.

So helpful!!

Extra....belle demonstration merci.....

Omg the caterpillar almost gave me a heart attack 💀

omggg shawn lots of live learnt alot from your videos love from nepal

Sean, the stealth planter! ; )

4:18 good to know I've been cutting them wrong. I've been cutting the fresh tissue. ty

18:07 woah what plant is that, it has a cool stem on them 🤩

Yes!!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Nice 😊😊😊.

What potting mix u use for aglonema? I already killed 3 due to overwatering. U really love that white fusion

Are you associated with Aroid Market? I’ve imported from them a few times and they’re in Jakarta. Their plants are always 10/10.

Can i sterilize my pruning shears by washing them with soap and water? And what if theres a little yellow on the side of the leaves but no browning?

What is the plant at 24:55 ? I cant get over the white stem and hot pink.

Woww, what is the name of the plant with green leaves at 17:09, Sean?

wouldnt it be a good idea to buy some new pruners? i allways see you work with those super rusty ones

Hi Sean.. how are you doing..

My angel hair totally died, but it resurrected after a week . So don’t throw the pot yet
