Keywords

💡Quarantine

Quarantine refers to the practice of isolating plants or animals that may have been exposed to pests or diseases to prevent their spread. In the video, the speaker uses a shoebox-like container from Costco to quarantine newly acquired plants to ensure they are healthy before introducing them to the rest of the collection.

💡Philodendron Torum

Philodendron Torum is a type of houseplant known for its hardiness and ability to survive in less than ideal conditions. It is one of the plants the speaker bought from the 'Bargain Bin', which is a section in the store where plants that are not in the best condition are sold at a discount.

💡Overwatering

Overwatering is the act of providing too much water to plants, which can lead to root rot and other health issues. The speaker suspects that the plants from the Bargain Bin have been overwatered, as they have been sitting in wet soil for a long time.

💡Perlite

Perlite is a lightweight, porous volcanic rock used as a soil amendment to improve aeration and drainage in potting mixes. The speaker plans to use perlite to help the plants recover from overwatering by allowing excess water to drain more effectively.

💡Pest Control

Pest control involves the management or elimination of insects and other organisms that can harm plants. The speaker discusses the need to quarantine plants due to the presence of pests like spider mites and thrips, which are common in the plants from the nursery.

💡Costco

Costco is a membership warehouse club that sells a variety of products, including gardening supplies. In the video, the speaker found a pack of clear containers at Costco, which they plan to use for quarantine and potentially other purposes.

💡Spidermites

Spidermites are tiny arachnids that can infest and damage plants by sucking the sap from their leaves. The speaker is aware of the presence of spidermites on the plants they buy and plans to quarantine them to manage this pest issue.

💡Potted Plants

Potted plants are plants that are grown in containers, allowing them to be moved and cared for more easily than those in the ground. The video focuses on the care and repotting of potted plants, especially those that have been neglected or are in poor condition.

💡Plant Care

Plant care refers to the practices and routines necessary to maintain the health and growth of plants. The video emphasizes the importance of proper plant care, including repotting, adjusting soil composition, and managing pests.

Transcripts

what's up guys and welcome back to Tech

PL I plucked some plants out of the Dead

Zone got them for really cheap however

we got to quarantine them and I have

found the coolest thing to quarantine

plants with it was at Costco I love it

it's a shoe box let's check it out all

right this video is going to be twofold

I'm going to show you this sweet

quarantine container that you can pick

up I think it's really awesome and you

get four of them but that's in the

second half I'm going to show you some

new plants I picked up usually I'm only

buying plants from The Bargain Bin

except for I did splurge on one which I

will show you all right this first is

filodendron torum although you can

hardly tell by how it looks cuz it's

pretty much dead and when I say Bargain

Bin it's really like the dead end for

all these plants the store I shop at as

their plants like just die from their

care they throw them in this one section

for a discounted price and honestly it's

really not that discounted not enough

for how dead these plants are but I like

taking a chance now the first thing I do

when I get these guys that are off a

death row is I usually repot them cuz

it's like they've been sitting and just

rotting wet soil for way too long most

of these plants are coming out of

Florida and whatnot so it's just just a

lot of Pete Moss because down there

things dry out a lot quicker cuz it's a

lot hotter but here in my basement pure

Pete is just not good looking at the

root ball it's not horribly bad it feels

pretty decent nothing feels too rotted

but this thing has been overwatered for

a long time however there is still some

growth on here that is starting so I'm

not too concerned in my opinion most

philodendron are pretty bomb proof so

I'm just going to pop this up with some

perlite and it should be fine over time

next up is a plant that I got from the

dead section again we got this for only

six bucks it used to be 24 so a pretty

sweet deal it's kind of dead looking but

again fendron just don't die at least

not for me this one does say It's a

pasta zum but it is not this is for sure

panii I have both of the plants and this

one looks just like my panii I already

have some but you got to love more for

only six bucks now again you can see as

I repot this it's all just Pete Moss and

again it works great in Florida but not

so good in my basement so we're just

going to mix a little bit of perite in

there just so it doesn't soak up so much

water and there's some air that can get

down in there to the roots this one is a

crawler so I'm trying to position this

in the pot so it has room to move across

the pot however just the way it is it's

not very easy so I will probably have to

repot this one later on but this should

be good enough Roots feel all right so

I'm not too worried about it all right

this next one I did pay full price

however full price on this one was

absolutely nothing I think this was

about $12 and this is a filodendron

mamei I can't I'm not sure if I'm

pronouncing it properly but I've always

wanted this one it's very similar to PL

Mani except for it's much more rounder

but it still has that like slight

silvery variegated looking leaves on

there I'm not really sure if it's

variegation but it's just a pattern and

it's an absolutely beautiful plant

however it always used to be like 30

around 30 bucks 30 40 bucks and I never

want to pay full price for it cuz again

I've already got palmani and I consider

them pretty similar but for 12 bucks I

had to scoop this one up since this one

was not in the dead section it's

actually doing quite well although it

did have a lot of spidermite damage on

all the leaves um this place that I

usually buy these plants from usually

have like thrip spidermites they pretty

much have everything on their plants so

I'm always uh aware of that as I bring

these things home but this one is also a

crawler just like the plani so I am

positioning this in one side of the pot

hopefully giving it some room to crawl

along the surface and get bigger and

bigger lastly I picked up this pink

zonum for about five bucks this one

wasn't in the dead section that's why it

looks perfectly fine this was just

sitting around for a little too long and

I guess they're closing it out one thing

I've learned about plants in the last

four years is always wait and watch

eventually the plant prices always come

down so there's no point in paying a lot

of money as long as you have patience so

I've been wanting this one for a while

cuz I just think it's pretty and it was

nice to pick it up for a cheap price The

Roots look fantastic on this one again

because it wasn't uh in the dead section

but it was heavily Pete based so I did

add some perlite now I did mention

earlier that a lot of these plants had

pests or have pests usually when I buy

plants from this one Nursery it there's

almost one out of every like five plants

has either thrips spidermites or M bugs

so I really should quarantine them

because this is how they've been gaining

reinforcements in the great bug war for

the past couple years but now that I

found this really cool product I'm going

to try and use them to sort of create a

little quarantine bin now you could just

use a large clear been but these were

really cool and they were on sale at

Costco so I wanted to give them a try

these are actually just shoe boxes but

the cool thing is you get a nice little

four pack I do really love the

dimensions of this thing it's rather

large and I do like that they're sort of

um I can stole them away really easily

if I'm not using them so it's not like

they're taking up a bunch of space like

a bin wood and they are stackable and

they just they have a a lot of cool

different orientations that you could

set them up in now assembly was a little

strange at first but then I realized the

arrows should be pointing at each other

and once I came to that conclusion it

went together pretty darn well and it is

pretty solid surprisingly the ones like

on display at Costco it's like whoever

built them didn't do a great job cuz

they felt a little more flimsy but these

actually feel pretty darn solid so I was

glad to see that they're much stronger

than I expected but yeah because they

have two doors you have a little bit of

a leeway on how you set this thing up it

can go vertically sideways I mean

there's a few like cool ways you can set

this up I like that there's options

there is two doors which is pretty cool

I almost want to set one of these up as

like a small terrarium and like really

like fill it out with stuff and build it

out just cuz I like the clear acrylic

look to it and it just feels fun I don't

know what it is but it's like a cheap uh

I guess clear box I think this would be

great for like a spider enclosure or

some sort of insect enclosure you would

probably have to silicone the gaps if

you're going to put a lot of water in

there but overall I think these are

really cool and unique and a great way

to sort of build out little terrariums

or spider cages or really anything for

now since I'm I have only one out of

four set up I'm going to use this one as

just a way to quarantine these new

plants and hopefully I can watch them

for pest over the next few weeks and see

if they come out or if they did die from

my initial spray but I have another

three which I do want to turn into a

terrarium or something neat so you'll

have to stay tuned for that well guys I

hope you enjoyed this I don't know if

it's still at Costco it's only been a

couple days since I filmed this they

were on sale which is always the best

time to pick stuff like this up however

there might be an Amazon link if I can

find one in the description we'll see

but I really do like these they go

together quite securely and I almost

want to turn these into little

terrariums or something else I know it's

nice for a little quarantine box but you

get four in this pack at least the pack

that I purchased so I've got a lot of

fun ideas I want to experiment with this

and maybe you'll see future videos with

those where I build them out I don't

know I might even make them an isopod

thing who knows they got a lot of

potential for any sort of cool Little

Critters and I just think they're really

cool and I love the little magnet things

and just I don't know they're fun well I

hope you guys enjoyed that video and as

always May plants go strong and healthy

keep experimenting and I'll see you next

time
