Welcome to my channel! Thank you for joining me on my plant love journey! Whether you're already obsessed like me, plantie newbie or somewhere in between, Plants & Tings is the place for you! IG: @plants_n_tings
I don't care about the alge I figure its doin good if it's there, but not taking over. I use clear pots for everything I can😅 I love to see the roots and my dirt mix its just as pretty as the plant😂 all together its gorgeous.
Different Hoya species smell different. Some are like butterscotch and some are sweet but boozy, like vanilla extract. A few smell "floral", like a perfume blend or granny's powder makeup. Some smell like faintly like of fruity chocolate.
Don't ever give info out like that. What doesn't bite you now can later. Don't trust ANYONE. Not USPS, NOT SOCIAL SECURITY(SSA) ETC. All places like that have been hacked. If someone from SSA calls you and says "you go on line and get SSAs phone # from internet and call me back so I can prove who Ihe is? " IT'S A SCAM!!! USPS - NEVER GIVE ANY INFO EVER. PLEASE. FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!!!
🤔 Very beautiful hostess. Clearly knowledgeable and passionate about your hobby. In the long run it’s better for a multitude of ways to make your own Pon. I utilize Calcined Clay and “ Special Kitty “ natural clay cat litter in my home made Pon. The two clays give a number of nutrients and have a excellent water holding and wicking capacity. I wish you success with your RU-vid endeavors and your hobby. ✊🏽✊🏿✊🏾
I got my first alocasia a few months ago and I’m still learning they seem to be way fussyer compared to most other plants I have . It took about 2 months of sitting with one leaf then one day it started to grow .when I got 3 big leaves a week ago I repotted it and now it’s sad looking.but I will keep trying lol
I have been using fluval stratum for almost 2 years maybe longer and its amazing but i have also used the exo terra sub stratum and that one works amazingly as well i havnt tried the fluval bio stratum and cant wait to see results from that one
These are some great tips. I've always wanted an alocasia, but I've been scared to try even though I've got a pretty green thumb and like 30 house plants already. I just picked up a small I think alocasia polly or amazonica from Home Depot yesterday. So excited to see it grow bigger.
Thank you. This was really well presented and packed with info. I'm a worrier if i don't have clear details so it was really great to have you say "if this then that, else this."
I mixed mine in combo peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark. I placed her on a pebble tray filled with water to increase humidity. Good luck to both of us, these plants sure are little divas
I recently purchased a Hoya Carnosa specifically because it was blooming. Her flowers smelled like mint chocolate to me. The smell was simultaneously relaxing and intoxicating.
Ty so much for this. I have been trying to find specifics. I find a lot of vanity plant posts (no shame, I love that too) when searching for guides. This is what I needed.
I super appreciate your knowledge and how you convey that information! I am on the verge of converting several plants. I have two semi Hydro and have been afraid because I have so much invested.
Wow! I killed two of those! Another channel said to pull the tree out of the soil and remove the rubber band. The problem I had was the plants growing out of the braid into a thin straight trunk. They are not very easy to grow and they grow slowly.
The Anthurium plant is hands down my favorite and they actually are the best for living in Ohio. I have 4 queens and so far they’ve been very easy to take care of <knock on wood >. Thank you for sharing this video it was very beneficial!
I am going to suggest potato water . I had some left over some roasted type of potates . I cut the skin off and cut it up an put it into a spray bottle. The potatoes need to set in the water for at least 48hrs. Then if your plant is dry water with the potato water. Also spray the potato water on your leaves . Take a cloth or paper towel , or some gauze and saturate it with your potato water and bath your leaves top and bottom . Within a few weeks your Anthurium leaves will begin to grow "crazy". I'm waiting for it to blossom, which I believe it will soon !!
DO NOT touch the bio stratum with your bare hands. I did that and had a horrible dizzy spell for almost two days. The regular one was fine. That stuff is gold for monsteras and corms.
Is yellowing on the tip of leaves normal for semi hydro shock ? It’s in perlite/stratum … do you think it’s cal/mag deficiency? I just put super thrive in there but it’s doesn’t contain cal/mag
How long did you wait to transfer to pon??? I just bought a villenaorum and I wanna repot it in pon but I’m terrified. I’m newer to being a plant mom and some of my plants I repotted into pon when inbought them, went through transfer shock
Girllll this is the video I’ve been looking for!!! Like every other video lacked detail or missed something and told us to do the most but I love that you were 100%. The gal at my plant shop also said, the more you care about the plant, the higher risk of killing it 🤣🤣🤣 I took that and this as I need to chill tf out lol
It’s considered semi hydro or semi water because of the leca. Because the leca creates air pockets it’s not fully water rooting. You will have roots grow down into the water reserve and those roots are more suited for water.
