This is a long one but I feel like there's so much to be said and to know about soil, so hopefully you find this helpful!
I talk about my aroid soil mix and different amendments that I use, potting with no drainage holes, how I water my plants, root rot + soil q&a.
Feel free to leave any additional questions for me in the comments or you can always send me a DM on Instagram too!

@mycharmedunicorn8715 3 года назад

Is all the components washed first (Leca, spag moss)? I saw your video where you boiled the spag and your Leca. Just got to the part you rinse your perlite. So, this mixture you use for everything but begonias. The glass vase type repot. Does the Leca at the bottom help from overwatering?

@unplantparenthood 3 года назад

Yes- all of the ingredients are prewashed and prepped beforehand! LECA is thoroughly rinsed of dust, spag moss is sterilized by boiling, and the perlite is sifted and rinsed. I use this mix for begonias, but I add a lot more potting soil and worm castings since I find them to be pretty thirsty plants and heavy feeders. I add LECA at the bottom of glass vases because it naturally wicks water upward into the soil, and also prevents plant roots from sitting in a pool of water. :)

@amandafountain7299 3 года назад

Love this video! Which potting soil do you use? 🙏🏻

@unplantparenthood 3 года назад

I heard there was a movement to not use sphagnum moss because its not sustainable (?) Maybe you can do a future video on other options or alternatives of substrates ?

@unplantparenthood 3 года назад

I actually talked about the sustainability issue of sphagnum moss a bit in my sphagnum moss video. And I also did a segment on how to keep reusing it so that you don’t need to keep re-buying. I also did a propagations video so you can see what other substrates I use to propagate and grow in besides sphagnum moss. :) Sphagnum peat moss (which is decomposed sphagnum moss) is the substrate that is highly unsustainable, and unfortunately most soil mixes contain it. I think the only way to avoid this completely is to grow purely in semi-hydro.

Too wet for aroids. More often than not they actually prefer being in a pure mixture of perlite, leca, and chunky bark. Potting soil is completely unnecessary and requires minimal amounts if you want to water less.

All my aroids have been doing fine over the years in this mix! To each their own I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️
