i somehow squished a 6.5+ hour plant day into a 2.5 hour video 🙃 these dedicated plant days are super special to me but i'm not gonna lie, it's become a bit more agonizing week after week as this belly just gets bigger 😮‍💨
i didn't have time to film a week of plant things this month since i just got back from california, but i still wanted to give you guys a long one! in this video i do a thorough maintenance of my living room plant shelf, treat again for fungus gnats and spider mites, get a little creative with some of the plants i already have at home, and test out another rousseau plant care product, plus a little of this and that in between. hope you guys get some use out of this video, or at the very least have something to throw on while you do your own plant chores 😋

I am growing my Hoyas in PON but I just started. Hakunalaplanta however, have been growing his Hoyas in PON for several years now and they are doing great just wonderful. A period of dryness is very important among other things as well as the nutrients composition and flushing. From time to time I add H2O2 to the water I flush them with also, I refill my containers when the PON is dry and the pot is lighter.

@powerranger3223 4 месяца назад

56:03 You can try cutting your hoyas underwater. I do this for milkweed to stop the sap from running when I cut it when I want to propagate it. Leave it in there for 2-5mins and then take out of the water to callous.

@@unplantparenthood Whelp...you just may! Once you go preggo, there is a chance may never go back-o (corny). FYI - all of my hoya are growing in a chonky soil mix with drainage. I also need to to retellis my mathilde. She was a tiny thing when I first got here but she has grown a lot and I'd also love to see her grow around a big circle. I think I'm going to HD this week to get some copper piping and concoct a DIY trellis situation. Loved the vid as always and you and Archie belly baby are so stinking' cute right now!

@growingmyserotonin 4 месяца назад

I have about 100 speces of hoya and all are in diy pon. I must say though, repotting or upsizing sucks with pon and i find its easier to just chop and restart. Recently ive been debating switching over (Basieplants Miro isnexperiencing the same). I think what i may do is add coco chips to lighten up the mix and help with water retention (even with a reservoir i struggle with them drying out toovquick and getting dry rot). I may add coco coir for my thin leaf hoyas.

@camillemartinet9468 3 месяца назад

Hi Charmaine! Your orchid is an epiphyte so it will likely sufocate due to lack of aeration in treefern soil. You could switch the soil for orchiata or use straight moss. I hope that helps! I love how you mounted the other one though. It looks amazing :).

@unplantparenthood 3 месяца назад

Hi Camille! Thank you for letting me know- that didn't even dawn on me that it's an epiphyte and not a hemiepiphyte. Right after I read your comment I removed it from the pot and mounted it onto the trunk of my yucca- hopefully it's happy there! Just need to remember to give it a spray once in awhile 😅

@oliviadrake9980 3 месяца назад

If that is a cattleya (it looks like some type of brassavola to me), they're drought tolerant and you can definitely pot it up. Moss/bark mixture. The roots are really sensitive though so keep a similar wet/dry pattern to what it's been used to mounted or it will unalive all the roots. Side note, they like high light. Other side note, don't put phalaenopsis or cattleyas in a soil mix!

@ttschrock7126 21 день назад

I have a linearis that I love so much. It is in PON, I let it completely dry out. She hates wet roots. Hates it. So when the leaves are plump and sitting up, she is well watered. When she is starting to lay down the leaves, it is time to water it. Over watering is a big no-no (in my unprofessional experience. :-)

I have my Hoya mauna loa and N.G.G and hoya carnosa compacta variegata I pon bc I was unsure how they would do. All 3 are growing like weeds. My new guinea ghost has been in pon since I have gotten him. However, I had my manager loa and compacta variegata for years and now they are growing so quickly. That is the only thing I changed. I think it varies from hoya to hoya but I am tempted to do more. I have a wibur graves silver cutting in pon, and it has done nothing in 6 months. My others were established already. So... that is the price of eggs here.

I know nothing about orchids, but could you potentially put it on a short moss pole? It won't climb, but it could root into the moss and would probably stay wet longer? In my head, you could cut a normal closed-back mosspole in half vertically (maybe even put a pot underneath) and then treat it like a philodendron, but it won't climb?
