Need Fertilizer Advice - House Plants

6 years ago

OK I need any advice on composting for house plants. I made this video https://youtu.be/1KBV7al3E4E and though it's informative I'm sure there is more.


Thank you

    LOL!! I can't even begin to comment! 75% of what was said was bleeped out and the rest was not easily understandable. Did you even talk about composting?? Other than a couple of bleeped references to human excrement, I didn't get much of anything about composting from that video.

    You might find it helpful to know that A) compost is not a fertilizer; and B) adding compost to a container soil is ill-advised for a variety of reasons.

    Informative.......not so much. But moderately entertaining despite all the bleeping. Then YouTube is not known for providing very accurate information...........

    There are a couple of other forums here that could help you improve this......if you really want to (I am still questioning whether it was intended to be informative at all!). Do some serious perusal of the Container Gardening forum for some good quality container soil recipes and how best to fertilize container plants. And studying some of the discussions on the Soil, Compost and Mulch forum will provide additional enlightenment.

    Almost unwatchable, I made myself watch through to the end to see, no actual info., hard to follow along thru the filthy language. Nowhere I'd ever want to return to, subscribe, yikes!!

    If that's supposed to be funny, I must have a VERY different sense of humor.

    Based on your two comments, I'll forego watching this 'influencer''s thoughts.

    Joey, I think you'd get more traffic from plant people if you lose the profanity. While many of of use obscene language from time to time, it's best not to wallow in it.

    I wish you WOULD try it pls Jeff even if only briefly. That way we'd also have a man's opinion; no one can say it's just squeamish women. (Also, even in jest I hate to see Bklyn so poorly represented to perhaps a national audience.)

    Thank you I really appreciate that. I do Love my plants with All my Heart. And I grew up using different words. Unfortunately I have to censor particular words for youtube. It's my first video I had a lot of fun making a video on my most favorite hobby. Just thought my personality could reach different types of people.

    Since you're here Joey, I'll say I too noted the plants looked healthy & happy & concluded you must know something about growing plants (if it was actually you who grew them).

    But as a visual person & artist, may I pls add I found too much to see in the video & the decor, & too fast movement & editing to really note anything. Nice decor but IMO just too much visual stimuli to permit us to really see the plants; in a manic kind of way.

    From what I heard, you actually said very little about the plants. Again, IMO. Since you had asked.

    Ummm, that was horrible.

    If you really want the video to be informative, ditch the theatrics and the profanity. Present the information you have to share in a clear, concise and intelligible manner. In its current state, the video reads only as a joke (and one of rather questionable taste) rather than as a vehicle to impart any meaningful information.

    And double check the accuracy of anything you say with a reputable science or education based source before posting. YouTube is already filled with far too many gardening videos that just babble a lot of inaccurate nonsense.

    Karen,

    Thanks, I'm going to pass. It's thanks to you 'squeamish' women that I don't have to.

    I trust the comments of some posters here irrespective of their sex. For this post, let's play the following:

    Joey,


    I don't want to spoil your enthusiasm for gardening / plants - I and others here want to encourage that.


    Let me know when you make a profanity-free one - I'll definitely give it a view or three.


    If you have questions for plant growers here, we would be happy to help.


    Thank you,


    Jeff

    It's really not easy to pick one, it depends on several factors. I requested help of professionals to help me analyze my garden - https://padovagiardinieri.com/ - and they explained me all there was need to know in order to take care of the garden by myself.

    You could just try but the risk is to damage your beloved plants
