I prefer splendid, no spider mites, has the red backing and neon sripes of verru and then the dark darkness of melano at the end when it is done. u get the best of both worlds
Yes I ordered from there and I live in Florida and it's hot n humid here so there it's like 40-50 but it survived shipment thru there but probably coming through Florida it got pretty warm, when I opened it looked great but the very next day it was wilting, and following day had dampening off and I checked the roots it was about 2 inches long, and barely rooted 🤣

idk why i am watching this video now since i have learned all of these things the hard way myself in the last 6 months or so! I got a baby and it fell over, lost leaves etc. I had to prop it up with a chopstick for a few weeks until it recovered. It is finally putting out a bunch of new big leaves now that i've got it under a grow light with its own mini humidifier but damn! I'm scared to get more but they're so beautiful it's so hard to resist!!!
Oooh! Just a theory from experience... the mother stem did not thrive in the propagation test tube probably due to its larger sized stem. From what I saw, the mother seemed too big and because of its size, there was not enough energy to give every inch of the stem attention. Maybe next time, cut the mother down to the stem with no leaves (or just one?) and preferably not that long of a stem- if it’s super wide and or thick, then definitely do not keep the stem long! there is this video i find the best for water propagating and it is super simple and straight to the point.i’ll link below .
Funny, I just bought two baby Verrucosum from Botanicaz last night before I stumbled upon this video. I'll keep an eye out for the springtails but my understanding is that they don't do TOO much damage to live plants, it's mostly dead and decaying ones they're interested in, though they might occasionally have a nibble on some roots if there's a rot issue happening. I actually have a ton of springtail in my home because they're roommates with the isopods I keep! They make sure the isopod enclosure is nice and clean :)
Lucky to have a good size verrucosum bought with a good root system so I was able to go straight into an Aroid mix perlite, bark and potting compost (not soil based). Made a good length moss pole out of UPVC kitchen waste pipe and plastic mesh which ends up being some 3” diameter. The thing is the stem roots get right into that moss pole. Great support and plenty to root into. Your comment on water to soil is very relevant to me as I recently made the same mistake of rushing into soil with small plants so sphagnum seems a good intermediate step. Thanks for your video
I wash the plants when i got them. Sometimes with just water sometimes with a bar of soap. Then i don't have to worry about pests. If its in soil i keep them isolated. When they adapt (min 3 weeks) if the soil is suspicious i change it. Thats it. Pests are no big deal.
I had a little one like that for four months and it didn't put out a single new leaf. After I moved it into my outdoor shade greenhouse it grew 5 new leaves in two weeks! I really don't think it's possible for this plant to cope as a houseplant, it needs constant very high humidity that you just can't achieve indoors even with a humidifier going 24/7.
@@photosyntheness4208 of course! Also if your philos are potted just leave them in their pot for a week. Kaylee ellen has an AMAZING video about post-shipping care.
I'm just so pleased when you mentioned neem oil solution 'cause that's something I constantly use. I came across your vlog 'cause I've recently purchased my first orbifolia and I'm getting quite a bit nervous about it, having heard how a diva this plant is. Congratulations to you and good luck to me. :-)
You are very cute and beautiful like Calathea Orbifolia. Good video. I want to know more about Calathea orbifolia and any other plant like this. ♥️♥️♥️
Hi Nessa, pothos do great for me, they do not like direct sunlight, that's why they usually thrive in offices. I usually wait for mine to wilt a little than I put them in the sink and water thoroughly, and then I let it drain completely before returning it to wherever it usually sits. Mine get watered about every 2 weeks. The others you mentioned I've never tried. I also have the pothos in water and it's been very happy and lush for a couple of years now, but like I said before away from sunlight I hope it helps 😘
Hello Margareth! Happy Monday!! Golden Pothos are my favorite and that sounds like my care for them! The varieties of pearls and jade and pothos n' joy were the difficult ones for me, faded faster than most of my plants, and are no longer in my care 🤭 💖 💖 💖
They are absolutely beautiful.. Though I'm struggling with them.. But still not ready to give up on them.. It's hard to resist when you see them.. Thanks for your tips..
very beautiful looking plants! Actually, springtails are not pests. They are beneficial bugs, they consumes compost/dead root in the soil, nursery tends to put springtails on purpose. And they usually die off when there're no more compost in the soil.
Omg your tropic snow looks so healthy and beautiful! I bought one and it’s struggling I’m doing everything i can possibly do and it’s just slowly dying on me 😢 the leaves are dropping and then it starts to yellow ugh
I always get so confused on if I should put a new plant in moss, water or soil. They are so beautiful!! 😍 I always shine with my phone flashlight to see spider mites, you can see them starting with a flashlight 😂 They are on my wishlist! 🌿
Great video ! You are the cutest 💜 Just wanted to mention, when you see droplets of water on your leaves, it’s totally normal. It doesn’t mean overwatering. It’s called transpiration🌱🌱
I imported my verrucosum from Indonesia around April this year. For me it’s a slow grower. It has only put out two new leaves since I got it, but so far so good. I can’t speak about pests on it because I use systemic treatments for all my plants to reduce the overall chance of getting pests. I got bored with the verrucosum a few weeks ago so I decided to experiment by chopping and propagating it😅 putting the top cutting into leca to see if it does anything. Botanicaz is also I great shop! I’ve purchased from that shop a couple of times and had great experiences both times🙂 great video!
I have found it easy to grow in a self watering pot with chunky mix. I let mine touch down to slightly dry on top before watering but never let it dry out. Soaking the moss pole prior to watering the pot helps the stem roots to attach to the pole and it appreciates this. Humidity as always is important with this one. It's a fast grower! Another thing is I do not overfill the self watering pot, up to half full on the indicator that way I feel it's not sitting in too much water.
Scrolling RU-vid and came across your video.. your calathea warscewiczii came from my nursery! trust me I know my soil, pots and plants! It’s cool seeing people appreciate them. Keep up the videos! And good job keeping it alive!
