The Reason My Plants Grow So Fast 🌿 Secrets To Faster Plant Growth 

thank you for this!! I finally treated myself to a baby white princess philodendron after being inspired by yours. Really, really enjoy your content.

Been using fish tank water from water changes last few months Claire and my plants seem to love it. I do a water change every week and fill a few buckets and keep covered outside to use to water with. It's the best tip I could give anyone! Got myself that Alacosia Zebrina too, the local Dobbies garden centre had one half price at just 12 pounds just cos it has 2 dying lower leaves, basically just needed those removing and a good drink and now looking great 😀

You are such a joy to watch! Your enthusiasm and joy for your plants are infectious. Thank you for this wealth of information. I’m glad I’ve come across your videos and, of course, being a plant enthusiast myself, I subscribed immediately!

I am a new plant mom. I love them all and I totally am a crazy plant parent. I always look at them and talk to them

Hi claire and yoli! Thank u so much for all the tips I actually have to pull some pups from my piliea tomorrow! Have an amazing week💙💙💙

"Plant care is like my self-care" YES. I call it plant therapy LOL. Just overall relaxing and a good decompress time for the day 🪴🥰

Great video with excellent tips and information! Fun repotting to watch as well. 🥰. My Pilea has been so easy to grow and a joy to own. I separated several pups and the pups had their own pups in no time. Your Pilea is beautiful! Many thanks for this video. 👌🪴🥰

Love love LOVE your videos, I really look forward to them! They are so informative and it just feels like I’m having a chat with a friend ♥️

I am in the USA. I so enjoy your videos. Chatting about plants is relaxing. TY. 💚🌿🌹

Thank you Claire, as always, very helpful information 😊💚🙌 thank you!! 💚🌿🪴

Don’t know how you manage to be so coherent with no sleep lol I’d be a mess 💕 this was v helpful never even thought of the window thing 💕🙏🏾

I've been having issues with my Thai Constellation, it's put out a new leaf that refuses to open fully and it's basically stopped growing. I wondered if there may be root in the roots, but you mentioning netting around the roots, I did feel something in the pot that could be netting stopping it growing! So I'll be taking it out of the pot tomorrow to see what's going on. I had no idea they would net the roots, so thanks for that tip.

Awesome! And yes the ice in front of the fan really helps! Looks like you all across the great pond are getting pretty hot! Try and stay cool but yes I think the plants love it!!

I use Levoit humidifiers also and LOVE them. I have 2 4L and recently bought a 6L that I haven't used yet. Plan on using for winter. I'm in midwest USA so winter is very dry! Between my ceiling fan and humidifiers, I'm able to keep the humidity around 60 - 65% in a room open to my living room and it has made an incredible different with my plants in every season! Thank you for mentioning them before, I definitely took your advice and totally agree!

Just found you today - love how engaging you are. Just a thought about radiators - I have my parrots in a North facing room and struggle with cold in the winter (I’m in Canada). I need to keep the humidity up for them (and now my plants). I supplement the central heat with an infra-red heater and it does not affect the relative humidity as much as other types of heaters. Rather large investment but beats filling humidifiers constantly!

13:54 Be careful with that high humidity. Just like with water, light and heat, you can have too high humidity, which can prevent plant transpiration and eventually cause root rot (it's basically the same issue as over-watering). You can also have too much air circulation on your plants, which can cause fan stress or wind burn, but when you have as many plants you do, it's rarely an issue seeing as the collected transpiration from all the plants is so high. However, for people that only have a few plants or keep their plants in a large room, a fan isn't needed at all. Simply walking past your plants or opening/closing a door will cause enough wind gust to circulate the air over the plant. 21:55 This is correct! If your plants are still producing new growth, you should keep fertilizing to support the growth and keep the plant healthy. Still, it's a good idea to stop adding fertiliser in the later fall months if your plants seem dormant, as the risk of causing damage to the plant is always greater if you over-fertilize. Speaking of dormant plants, 6:56 you can actually convert low light plants into high light plants, seeing as a plant doesn't know the difference between outdoor or indoor. So when the plant sits in a low light basement, it simply thinks it's in winter season where there's less sun and therefor switches to a dormant phase. But if you gradually introduce the plant to more light and heat, the plant will start to change as it thinks spring season is here. The reason this works is because there's really no such thing as a true 'low light plant', there are simply plants that can thrive better in low light conditions than others, but the tropical plants we buy all naturally grow in indirect light conditions.

Claire, I love your channel and your accent and your dog, Yoli?. I’m from California and I feel like my plants should grow quickly because of my location but it’s dry heat and some of my plants just won’t grow or die (monstera) so Idk how to check the roots without disturbing the entire plant. I do like using laundry in the plant room to increase humidity. Maybe I’ll try repotting in a clear orchid pot. I just don’t want the roots to get caught in the slits of the orchid pots. I’m rambling. Keep spreading your joy.

Those little pilea pups are SO CUTE! 😂❤️

I have been struggling so much with my anxiety lately, so I have been doing a lot of plant care to make up for it. And I noticed my biggest plant out of my collection, which is a philodendron rojo congo had a root(killerpot 🤪) on it. Now that I’ve taken it off I’m excited to see if it’ll be bigger 😍 I had a panic attack just before and I saw you updated and it helped me calm down, so thank you❤️

Daisy Riddley does plants.

Thanks to u I have a big collection now and I learned it all from you

I absolutely loved this video it was wonderful

Love your channel ❤ 💕 ♥ 💖!!! Have a great day!!

As always thank you for getting straight to the point!! Love your repots and will be watching with my notebook later HA! 😂 xx

Awesome beautifull garden

Saying “don’t with your plants too much” while simultaneously realizing you faff with your plants too much is my entire life these days. 😂

I’m near Phoenix Arizona and it’s been 112 degrees Fahrenheit everyday and it literally cooked the roots of one of my plants in a terracotta pot that was on my covered patio 😭

Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks. I’m getting ready to move to a new house and was wondering if you have any tips and tricks on transporting plants???

Lovely plants 🪴 Like 451 My friend ,have a good day

If you can handle purple light get the purple because they are specifically for foliage. I use Walmart bulbs $9/ea and my plants leaves are literally doubled in size. 16 hours of light and 8 hrs of dark.

Good Master Of plants 👍☺

Love your channel. 😊 would just like to ask, how have you sealed your cabinet? I have a similar cabinet but can’t keep the humidity up as I have gaps. Thanks

Hi Claire, I was wondering if you know the answer to this, I snapped the main big healthiest Monstera root when I was repotting it. I am still absolutely gutted, so just hoping it will still be ok and whether I should do/not do anything? Fertilise or not etc. I am still in shock 😕 A fabulous repot and advice video, thank you again 🪴❤️

I love your videos and plants! What is the large plant behind you with huge leaves? Is it a philodendron bipinnatifidum? It looks a lot more tamed than the ones I usually see if it is that. Thanks!!

Hi there from Canada love your videos question how do you keep track of fertilizing in other words if I fertilize In the spring and summer how often do you fertilize each plant I tried keeping a spreadsheet but lost track do you fertilize every time you water each plant thanks so much

Hey great tip too insulate windows with bubble wrap. Mine aren't sealed properly and there is real bad draught that you can feel blowing through when u stand in front of them so this sounds like just what I need. Fed up with the housing associations attempts at sealing them properly.

How much do you spend on electrics using your mother life lights?

Thanks Claire, again lovely video. Quick question on the pilea, mine is growing really well with several pups in a north facing window how just some of the leaves have curled like pringles...I read could be too much water...but definitely not over watered...under perhaps?? Thanks x

Making ice in a freezer and letting it melt in the same room will actually increase the temperature, because the freezer will have to work harder and create more heat

Would be great to see a watering video 🙏🏻

I purchased a two leaf Hoya obovata ,splash how can I get it to sprout more?

I’ve also lost a few plants because I waited too late to check for netting. Plants were doing great and all of sudden would go downhill.

Wow

That is one of the things I love about living on a tropical island. Don't need to worry about humidifiers, or bringing them inside for winter, etc. I have everyone in my backyard in dif. levels of shade and rotate bringing them indoors when I want a change. That's not to say I don't have any struggles. I can't seem to keep begonias alive, my hibiscus plants, for some reason, are a hit or miss kinda deal (they are either gorgeous and thriving or dead 🥺... seriously, I've cried over them.), and some of my orchids can be a bit of a pain in the neck. Overall tho, I've noticed that the more I ignore my plants a don't fuss over them, the better they do! 😂

What type of soil are you using?

24:14 - I never fuck with my plants too much. They like being left alone.

💚

BRB,going to clean my plant room windows that never clean....

I hang my laundry in one of my plant rooms, it’s a great trick.

👍

Light, humidity, fertilizer. Gold leaf fertilizer. No fertilizer during winter.

You know a lot about plants

I really like to hear this lady say more about what she's doing to the root system then to talk about bunch of things has no relevance to the exact thing she is doing

4 minutes ago Hi im a muse and general designer, have you ever been interested in commissioning a work of art? I would be very interested in making your home an intentional flora environment in a way that has no yet been achieved, it would make your home the first of its kind and more than just a subject for conversation. If your interested please simply reply to this message to express your interest.. 1

The plants are fertile

TALK TOO MUCH, CAN'T UNDERSTAND A WORD AND NOT SURE WHAT'S SHE'S DOING WITH THAT CACTUS PLANT🙄
