This week I’m gonna show you what happens after the big tropical pilgrimage happens in autumn… Now that the dust has settled & the plants are all settled in for the winter. I also detail some mistakes that I’ve made such as putting coffee trees into more light than their acclimated too late in the season, which will make them suffer for way too long. Of course I deal with insect problems like spider mites and occasionally mealy bugs, but that’s nothing that a little bit of Neem oil, alcohol wipes, & predatory insects can’t solve. Also briefly covered our topics like low quality mother plants from tissue culture & so much more!

I’m going to be doing detailed care guides for most of these house plants as time goes on, and also depending on my experience level… There are some plants plants that I don’t feel qualified to make a care guide about such as my Sealing Wax Palm, because I just haven’t had it for long enough.

It is that time of year for me to begin pruning my roses in my North Carolina zone 7b garden. The vast majority of roses bloom on new growth and it is vital that they get pruned yearly. Join me as I prune some of my David Austin roses while making a big video blunder!

Q&A 3: https://youtu.be/q4yXtOzFj6I

use the time stamps below to skip to questions relevant to you:

00:00 Intro
00:58 How do you deal with pest prevention? 02:38 Could you move with your current plant collection?
04:41 What does a plant emergency look like for you?
05:52 Do you have a wish list and if so what’s on it?
06:36 Do you go through stages where your plants are more draining than rewarding?
09:05 What are your favourite vining/climbing plants for moss poles?
09:45 What kind of plants you think are interesting but do not care to get in your collection
10:56 What are the “best” plants ( species etc.) to keep in lower light
12:56 If you could make a hybrid of any 2 plants, which would you choose?
14:16 What’s your thoughts on people telling you that they purchased a plant because of you?
15:24 Is it possible to grow plants so big in a dryer climate?
16:25 Can plant XYZ size up?
17:42 Are you planning to downsize to make room for a coveted plant?
19:17 When you water your plants, does it matter to some water & liquid fertiliser mixture gets on the leaves?
20:31 Leaves open with scars and markings. How can we avoid this?
23:21 What features would make you most drawn to buy them (barring any constraints like price and space)?
25:00 While most men are so inclined into sports, why do you think most men now grows interest into plants and gardening?
27:11 What are the most affordable & easy care rare houseplants?
29:03 Do you think you will ever get tired of the plants/aroids? And not in the burnout sense, but in the “seen it all” kind of way.
30:17 Something that is seemingly lacking in the plant community right now, what would it be?
33:43 What are your thoughts on self-watering moss poles instead of water bottles?
35:37 How come your Epipremnum got root and stem rot if you just water the pole and not the mix in the pot?
37:50 How did you come up with the idea of chopping the top of a moss pole and repotting it?
40:44 Would you consider make/change all your moss poles in the future into plastic backings?
41:44 Have you ever tried making a moss pole that had a support inside?
42:38 What to do once the plant reaches the top of the moss pole and you don’t want to chop and extend the pole? Do you recommend air layering?
44:30 What are your opinions on pricing plants? What should make something more valuable or less valuable. How much should a cutting differ from the price of a whole plant?
45:37 Do you generally up-size your pot from a 14 cm to 20 cm once a pole extension is required?
45:46 If the roots of your billietiae are growing out of the top of the moss pole, how can you extend the moss pole? I understand that the billietiae is a slow climber, so it will take a while for this plant to reach the top of the moss pole. But by then it seems that you would have very long roots coming from the top.
46:53 All about Brad
50:58 Would you consider giving Brad another cat mate?
51:49 How do I stop Brad from eating or playing with my plants?
53:54 What is it like to live with so many plants & a cat?

If you want to play a drinking game, take a shot of your favorite liquor every time I say Buffalo – lol…
While it’s not uncommon to get heavy snow here in WNY, blizzards are less common.
People were stuck in their houses for 3 days, some without heat, when it got down to 10°F! That’s why I briefly discussed the idea of backup heating, and having some stuff to keep you safe if power goes down and weather is rough; In a cold climate, it’s a good idea. Y’all in the south & warm climates should count your blessings!
The plants I have all made it through okay, including my Oleander. Well that’s not true. I had a couple young shrubs break under that heavy packed snow. Hopefully it wasn’t to bad for you, and the rest of winter (and spring) will be nicer!

This video is late to be public because of the second soundtrack (which is in iMovie/ public domain) still has a copyright claim.
