The grafting is bad, but a little more explanation is needed. Namely that grafting is like cross breeding: the closer the species, the better the graft. A cherry tree will take other cherry tree grafts best, but can also graft other stone fruits. You MAY be able to get away with different genera (apparently quince to pear according to the internet's, but the further you get away, the harder it is.
Cacti are actually one thing that are often dyed AND grafted, which is why many of the cacti you see in stores simply do not grow into what you would expect

OMG! I've done the straw splint thing, only not with a straw. In high school, one of my mother's pencil cactus fractured a large branch. It was leaking the white sap like it was bleeding, so I treated it like a wound. I found two pencils, secured them above and below the break with tape, and covered it to keep insects out. I had no clue if it would work, but surprisingly it did. Apparently enough veins? (i forget the term for plant transportation systems) left intact at the break site that the branch mended.

Sunflowers typically do not like being transplanted. I have done this successfully several times by watering them daily until they stopped drooping in the heat of the day. Another thing I have done successfully is after the wind broke the main stem, I saved them by wrapping a stint around them. The plants were not cut in half, but in each case were still connected by some pulp. Again, watering them daily until they no longer drooped in the heat of the day was how I knew they made it.

half the time I watch 5 minute crafts, I have no clue what's going on, what they are using, etc-they skip or flash ingredients and materials so fast, you miss it and good luck rewinding and finding that 1 second flash. It's like they are in race to get as much into the video because tomorrow might be ebbs of the world day. No need to be so rushed. split and make another freaking video. Also as annoying, I have to turn the volume down because the music drives me crazy.

The plant you cept calling a peace lily I'm pretty sure is a lucky bamboo dracaena, there leaves look just like that, thin smooth shiny leaves coming directly of the long woody stem. Peace lily leaves aren't quite that shiny and each grow on their own long stems that reach out from a center point just above the soil level. Their leaves also have quite the valleying along there veins! It gets really dramatic as they get bigger!

I easily grew apple trees from seeds some years ago. Just put the seeds on soil and watered every now and then and waited. After some time I had apple trees, green apple trees and fuji apple trees. Effortlessly!
A crucial information: I live in Brazil and I planted the seeds on February. It was HOT SUMMER and the seeds grew anyway so why the hell would someone need to freeze the apple before planting the seeds?

Great comedy reel! And great tips.
When I went away for a unknown time I fill my kitchen sink up and put the plants in up under the pot lip. I knee this was a risk but theyll wouldve died anyway February in Vermont. The Christmas cactus lived and the Ginger died. But after returning 3 months later and started watering the cactus the ginger quickly came up in the pot close to the cactus. I was shocked overall!

Apples don't grow true to form because they are:
a. pollinated by crabapples, so the trees you get won't be pure apples
b. incredibly heterogenous, so just like how your parents can keep having kids and they will all be different, the same thing applies to apples.
Rootstocks are great for maintaining plant architecture and plant health, but they can't turn good apples bad or bad apples good.

5 minute Crafts got other Hilarious fake content videos, ie in one theres a girl in the office butchering the chicken (she brought it alife ofc) nd roasting it in a flower vessel. Btw if they take down videos because of fair use u should probably sue them. 99, 99999% they are in the wrong unless u literally stole their content without ANY additional commentary or what so ever which i Highly doubt.

So the pineapple thing gives a much faster crop if you cut the crown down the middle and remove the bud, then plant each half lying flat. Removing of the bud makes suckers grow from the base, which are many times more vigorous. often you will also get multiple shoots which you can separate and replant.

I actually just take two sticks/twigs and use that as a splint and wrap it with a piece of twine a few times. works great. saved a lot of broken plant stems that way in my veggie garden. could probably use popcicle sticks but honestly i literally just pick up twigs off the ground ha ha

I do like these as il pretty much try anything just incase it works. But my brother gets fail in a a dog and 3 kids who dont look where theyre running and destroy everything. Luckily some plants are ok having their pot uprighted and soil and sprouts chucked back in. Yay natures resilience

um what? most apple trees here in europe are a single tree that usually isn't grafted unless you want to/the tree isn't giving fruit anymore, many gardens have trees that are hundreds of years old. I'm not am expert but for sure having only grafted trees sounds so wierd

You say totipotency is the ability to create roots, but totipotency is the ability of a plant cell, whatever cell it is, to form a whole new plant.
In the lab I add auxine and cytosine to a leaf-punch and I can create a whole new plant. All plants are also totipotent.
