I found an old large metal hanging basket at the tip and using the same kind of method, I've mounted several smaller elk horns. I'm gonna add one more to the top like you suggested. Thank you!
What a gorgeous Pastazanum, I do have the McDowell before and it was growing amazingly until I decided to report it into a prettier pot, lesson learnt,. It's better to have prettier plants than prettier pot, because it didn't like the repot and it's now RIP 😢
I once properly killed a maidenshair fern. I read somewhere that they can't be overwatered, so I watered it every day. Plus, I wasn't giving it filtered water, it was just getting straight up tap water. The plant thrived for a month with plenty of nutrition and direct light, but then it suddenly stopped growing and started going down hill, so I chopped the fronds back and reduced the watering, but it never came back. I currently have another maidenhair fern that I chopped back recently after getting fed up with how it looks. It's been chopped back for about a week now, and it's currently bouncing back so quickly due to all of the direct afternoon sun it's getting that it's already rivalling the size that I bought it at (the typical size for boxstore maidenhair ferns). This time, I've opted to water it less with filtered water, and I've stopped rotating it as the original shape I had the other one in was not good. It looked boxy due to me not being around to rotate it on the weekend, and they're such prolific growers that I'd end up with massive out of place fronds that ruined the whole look of the plant. I will say though that you need to be careful with trimming back larger maidenhair ferns. They do eventually develop mound-like 'stems' that the fronds grow out of- I accidentally discovered that when I chopped my fern back and accidentally cut a massive chunk out of the stem, which has caused a bald-spot in the one part of the plant.
I’m cutting brown parts of my peace lily’s leaves all the time and it lives for a years now and it looks beautiful too, now I changed the environment and there is no brown parts anymore. It’s in the bathroom where is more humidity
Wow this video needs to be taken down. You should have started don’t do this in the beginning of your video. I trimmed the leaves on an expensive plant. This video needs to be reported or re-editted
I agree oxley nursery is a great nursery to visit and find the rare plants. I often buy from facebook marketplace and gumtree as much as possble to support home growers...though great local nurseries are also a great place to purchase plants. May I know your insta account? love to follow you on your plant journey. Im also from Brisbane..
I have a ficus tineke and it has browning edges and some leaves have dropped. I don't suppose you have any tips on how to diagnose that? When people say stick the finger in the top 2-3 inches, doesn't that depend on the size of the pot? A small plant with 5 inch depth should not be using the same generic test as a mature plant in a pot with 15 inch depth for example.
I have a green plant, trying to figure out why some of the leaves have a rusty colour look in the centre of the leaves ( also rough texture ), one leaf even turned orange before I removed it. Any ideas?
I killed my first one, and second one is on it's way out. it suffers browning of the leaves, and I don't see any new fronds coming out. I struggled with the first one for so long, it did used to have new fronds, but they were tiny and would just brown before too long... eventually I had to leave for 11 days, and what little there was of it, was gone. my conclusion was that it was something in the water, cause once I got my boston fern, first time I watered it from the tap, and it was miserable, but it recovered after I switched to stale water. so I tried watering my maiden hair with same water, but it makes no difference, she's following in the footsteps if her predecessor
Try filtered water instead. Leaving your water to sit doesn't really make as much as a difference that people say it does due to chloramine being used to treat tap water, not chlorine. Plus, filtering gets rid of other potential dangers as well, like heavy metals or other contaminants.
Very helpful. Thank you! Love the illustrations and simple explanations. For folks moving from the world of climbing/ vining philodendrons into this whole crawling situation... your quick little video has me feeling empowered! 🪴 ☀ ♥
I thought about this process but I never tried it, now I know it is possible, I will definitely do this when they come back when the weather warms up, its winter her at the moment. Thankyou for showing this.
Mine have not been doing well. I am going to order big pots and forget about propagating. It's not as easy as it looks. Also I would do it in pots of soil inside a prop box if I ever tried it again. It would be so much easier without having to transplant.
Damn it, 3 of my gloriosum are doing this shit. I have mine crawling across the soil (they’re crawlers) the oldest leaf always yellows around it. Makes me crazy lol
