@robynfisher4455منذ 2 سنواتWhat a lovely video thanks Jan I feel like we just had a nice long friendly chat. Love your personality and approach, and plants of course. I especially loved and related to your cat story. At 74 I have just started my indoor plant journey following the demise of much loved cat who wanted to eat every green thing I ever brought into the house. Even flowers in a vase got pulled out and destroyed. Like Brad, the cat that remains doesn't touch anything, so now my journey begins and you are my escort ....وسعت2

@australiagreg3179منذ 2 سنواتHey Jan, Im thinking the abundance of damp moss poles has gotta be the answer to a humidity problem.

@HippieHorticulturalistمنذ 2 سنواتI love these style of videos ❤ the one thing I do want to add for pests+moss poles is that if you have an existing fungus gnat problem the adults will definitely love hanging out in them not sure if the eggs or larvae can survive in there, but I also treat the pole when I treat the soil ....وسعت

@Wilfahrt21منذ 2 سنواتIf you use spag moss the way Jan describes, it essentially acts more like semi hydro than a damp soil.

@floroma2820منذ 2 سنواتShe complains: whenever I cook the stew per your explanations and my friends’ explanations, it’s still not tasty. I think you all are not telling me something because I follow all the instructions. So I asked her to explain to me exactly how she cooks her stew from beginning to end. Eg. how much water do you put in the stew. When do you put the water in the stew and so on. I found out what she was doing wrong . Well, in order to grow fairly large plants, I also think you all are not telling us something because we follow all the large leaf parents and still do not get any result. ....وسعت
