@@EmmaYeaman-v7r Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate you watching. 😃

Thank you so much for watching!!!! 😃😃😃

I was planning on doing that before the mites killed a lot of them. I did do that with syngonium a few years ago. So pretty!!!

Me too. One of the best parts!!!

Oooooh. I’m so sorry. We’ve all been there tho. I guess it’s par for the course. So happy you found me too!!! Welcome. 😃🌱

@@TammyWorley-p8x I’ve been there. I feel your pain. Thank you so much for watching!!! So happy you’ve enjoyed it!!! 😃😃😃🌱🌿

Cool. Looking forward to hearing about it all. 😃😃😃

For nutrients you have a lot of options. A good fertilizer for foliage plants is Maxigro. You can find it online, including Amazon. 😃👍🏼🌱

Thank you for watching. I really appreciate it. 😃

Thank YOU so much!!! Really appreciate you watching. 😊

Thank you so, so much!!! 😃😃😃

@@soemtheng9704 plants that live on land usually need to have their leaves out of water. Many times the leaves would rot if submerged under water eventually.

Thank you so much. They were so happy until the thrips devoured most of them. Horrifying. 😞

Wow. Thank you so much! Bits so great to meet ppl that love plants as much as I do!!! 😃😃😃

@@paultheplantparent2702 it's great to meet you too! I love your videos, you make it look so easy to care for plants and yours are so beautiful!!!

@@rebekahu8524 thank you so much!!! It really means a lot!!! 😃😃😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🌱🌱🌱

That’s fantastic!!! I set something like that up for a friend as well. The Pothos have exploded in growth. 😃🌱

@@MsSweetlandofliberty clear glass I use cause I like to see the roots, but algae grows. They may do better in darker glasses. Tnx for watching. 😃😃😃

Thank you so much. I use tap water and added aquarium water conditioner. Humidity is important too. I also used an orchid fertilizer - link in the video has this product if you need. 😃😃😃. Thank you so much for watching!!!

@@paultheplantparent2702 Thank you very much for your answer...can I use only the orchid fertilizer?

@@taz3452 it has micro and macro nutrients but if you want a hydroponic fertilizer specifically, Maxigro works well too. Also in the link. But e had success with both. 😃👍🏼

@@paultheplantparent2702 Thank you very much for your help...I have 8 almost dead plants...I will let you know how it went with the fertilizer...You have very pretty plants.

@@taz3452 thank you so much!!!! I hope things turn around. I want everyone to have beautiful plants!! 🪴 👍🏼

They do really well in water. I don’t have any in soil anymore. So much less stress!!!! I’m also SO happy you’re here!!! People like you make this so worth it. Thank you thank you thank you!!!! 😃❤️🌱

Hey Dominic. I just checked these out. Not sure why that’s happening for you. The volume sounds good on this end. Maybe I’ll get closer to the mic. Eventually I’ll get a mic that clips to my shirt. Thank you so much for watching these videos….even with bad audio. 😃🌱

I usually wait for them to show active root/leaf growth, then I start the feed. So exciting to hear someone else as passionate as I am. 🌱👍🏼

@@paultheplantparent2702 gotta love them plant babies 💕💕💕

@@furryplantsandcoins9070 Absolutely!!!!!! 🙂

Hello there. I hear you on that. I definitely don’t prefer soil growing. I have a lint if different videos on setting plants up into water culture in this channel. I was only using water conditioner for the Calatheas. Fertilizer is used once the plants are showing new root/leaf growth, after they’ve acclimated. I use very diluted fertilizer - either orchid fertilizer or Maxigro. In the beginning I change out the water every day or two, just to keep it clean. Once the plant is growing in water I’d just top it off and flush completely about once a month. Good luck with your plant journey. Leca and/or lava rock work well too!!! 😃👍🏼🌱

Hello. Yup. Janet Craig transfers easily. The roots are strong and they usually do well. You can even remove most of the roots to let it start over in water if you need to. I’ve had one in water for years!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@@paultheplantparent2702 Thank you so much ❤️😊

Hello. I’ve grown snake plants in water as well. I would just let the roots heal before putting into water, after you rinse all the soil off. Then I used the orchid plus or Maxigro. 😃👍🏼

@@paulawilkinson6341 it’s so sad that they’re such challenging plants. Hoping she will pull through for you. 🙏🏼🪴👍🏼

Hey there. 😃😃😃😃. I prefer clear only doin can see water quality and levels, but it allows algae to grow. I don’t mind that tho. I keep them clean for the most part. 😃

@@jamesl627 Maranta and Ctenanthe were quicker than Calathea. The soil roots transitioned to water roots and started growing around 2-3 weeks later. I have a lot of Tradescantia pallida - Purple Heart, Blue Sue, Pale Puma, growing in water. They’ve been in water a long time too. 😃👍🏼

@paultheplantparent2702 thanks. I didn't want to have the root rot happen in my aquarium so better off that happens in the propagation vessel then move it to my tank when its fully transitioned

Yup, the leaves can propagate. If you want, send a pic so we can decide what to do. Plantparenthood12@gmail.com

For foliage houseplants, I fill to the base of the plant so all the roots are submerged. Then I refill when 1/4 of the water is gone. For orchids, I only submerge half of the roots in water, so they get enough oxygen.

Yup. The water conditioner just removes the chemicals and heavy metals from the water. You can definitely add fertilizer. I use orchid feed…. There’s a link in the description of the video. 😃👍🏼

Thats really helpful.Ive learnt a lot from you. Thank you@@paultheplantparent2702

Hmmm. It’s hard to tell. They’re very challenging plants. If it’s not the humidity or root rot, it’s pest infestations. I only keep a couple at this point. If it’s going down hill, not sure if transferring will even work. Such a shame because they’re beautiful plants.

@@EmmaYeaman-v7r usually when the leaves curl in water, there’s a problem with the roots. I’m always checking the roots to make sure they’re healthy and functioning.

I go to dollar tree and get glasses (drinking glasses ) and I use pickle jars also. Maybe add a few stones if you don’t want it to look so plain. But mine are fine ! Also if you work in a office see if anyone keep their vases from bdays, valentines day, etc and ask can you reuse them

Hello. I took the whole plant out of soil. 👍🏼🌱

@@paultheplantparent2702 Thank you! Will be trying that

@@nicoled7028 let me know how it works out for you. I haven’t been feeding mine but it’s still growing….slowly, but growing. 😃

Hello. Right now I’m using an orchid fertilizer for all my plants. Come browse my favorite plant products in my Amazon Affiliates Store: amzn.to/48siHU3

A lot of ppl use the fish waste….that’s the most natural. I use either Bettergro orchid fertilizer or Maxigro. Both work great!!!

Plain fish water might have too much bacteria to keep it clean/oxygenated if it's stagnant. You can use fresh water and supplement with some fish water probably. But just keep an eye on it. It also might start to give off a smell if it's pure stagnant fish water. 😛

I use normal tap water. 👍🏼

@@somoni I have tradescantia Purple Heart in water for a VERY long time. They seem to do the best! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I change the water more often in the beginning, while the plant is acclimating. Every couple of days. Eventually, it ends up being once a month or so. 😃🌱

Hello. I only cut off roots that aren’t healthy. Just need to clean them all off really well and remove all the soil. Then it’s water changes every 1-2 days u til you start seeing new water root growth. But cutting off all the roots may set the plant back even more than the transfer alone.

Sure. Filtered water is good - just can’t forget the nutrients, even more important when using water that’s been filtered. Filtered water has some of the minerals that are already in the water, filtered out. 😃👍🏼

Yeah spider plants and dracaena get that too. But it def helps!!!

Yup. I add diluted fertilizer to all my water cultured plants once they’re acclimated and are actively growing roots. 🌱

Hello. I’ve propagated Easter cactus in water and left them there for a while. It is definitely possible. They do even better in Leca or lava rock!!!! 😃👍🏼

@@valeriebaker4563 sure. Rain water could even be better. 😃👍🏼🪴

Anthurium definitely can transfer over to water. Not sure about desert rose tho. Haven’t tried that one. 😃👍🏼

They look pretty, right? Thanks so much for watching. 😃

Lately I’ve been using orchid fertilizer but I also have Maxigro hydroponic fertilizer. I use very diluted. 👍🏼😃

Oh no. Well we’ve all been there. Fear not. There’s hope! 😃😃😃

Once they show new growth - leaves and roots, I then add diluted feed to the water. Unclean water can cause a quick problem for calathea, so just make sure it’s always clean. 😃👍🏼🌿

I completely agree. Fungus gnats, mealies and spider mites need to find another planet. It can get very ugly with those plant pests. Hoping your plants are doing better. I'm always trying to find new ways to grow these plants, to minimize giving those pests a place to live. It's definitely a challenge tho. Hoping for the best for you and your plants.

So great to meet you. Our community is growing!!! 😃👍🏼🌱

Thanks for watching.

They sell them at a lot of big box stores. Have you tried checking there?

I’ve only grown parlor palm in semi hydro. I haven’t had one in a while. Maybe I’ll pick one up soon. 😃

Sorry to hear that. You don’t have to watch if you’re bored.

Pace of the video too slow?? This isn't the Kentucky Derby. You keep as you are doing Paul. We love the pace you go.

Who forced you to watch it ? Bye
