I agree Peggy. I enjoy repotting my new plants right away. I like to know what’s going on below the soil surface and think it’s best to amend the soil.

The soil it’s was potted in before you repotted looked very dense. Definitely not light and airy enough. Hopefully you have good luck with her! I love mine.

Spider mites liked this plant more than I did. I eventually gave up on the battle and discarded the plant. I had the opportunity to purchase this plant recently on clearance. I thought about it and decided to leave it for someone who may have better luck with it. I do like the plant and hopefully will be brave enough to give it another try in the future. Enjoy yours!

@MsNipri Год назад

Great save, Peggy! ❤️ They look beautiful! Hope you have success with the rhizome! I know this is two years ago, so hopefully you will give us an update.

@PeggysPlants Год назад

Well Nita, that plant became a nightmare. It had spider mites constantly and I got tired of it. After treating it several times, I ended up throwing it out. It always came back after cutting it back, but sure enough the spider mites came back with the new growth. Never again with this plant!

i always repot my plants immediately soon as I bring them home, whatever I leave a plant in the nursery pot even if it's for a few days it always wind up dyingg somehow. so good you open the pot and check the roots . can't wait to see how she looks n a few months

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

That's always been my practice as well...and I'm going back to it. I'm so glad I decided to unpot this plant before it was too far gone. Thanks for watching!

Wow I always take the plant out the pot and check the roots when I get home. and replant, I agree with you follow your own method. I always cut the plant and get multiples the same day. Lol. I love alocasia plants too, Root some so you have multiples. I love your honesty about not following what other people say , I always watch my plants for new growth . If you don't have any new growth than you need to make changes,

I really appreciate what you said about the balance between what works for us and also being willing to learn and try new things. Very thoughtful. I also love your lazy susan for potting. That's so smart! I use them under really big plants so I can rotate them easily. But never thought of using one for potting. I'm going to get one like yours next time I find one at a thrift store or yard sale!

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

That lazy susan is a must for me when working with my plants. I've never thought about getting one to rotate larger plants! I think I will be on the hunt for more as well. Thanks Kyra!💚💚💚

@@PeggysPlants I use those ones that are white plastic with a non-slip inner surface and a small lip around the sides. I am sure they are made for spices. I usually find them at thrift stores or garage sales. They work great for bigger plants. My big Zz plant loves to take a spin! :) I can't wait to try one out for potting!

I haven't really done an immediate repot on my plants before, except some that were dying and coming from my mom's house where I knew my stepdad was overwatering em. But I really think that's smart, checking the roots and soil is really nice. I appreciate you uploading how you plan on fixing it too! Seeing people deal with root rot calmly really helped me handle it well when I had to deal with it

@tl9326 4 года назад

Thank you for the wonderful information. I don't repot but now after watching this video I am re-thinking this as I too live in hot humid south Florida and this contributes to rot. We have the advantage of putting them outside to dry as I also do this when I bring in a new plant. Putting them outside (in the shade you know our sun!) helps also. Love your channel!

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

So happy to hear from a fellow South Floridian! Yes, I do know our sun. I can be brutal on our plants. It is nice to be able to keep plants outside year round, however. When a plant doesn't act right, I put it out...and it's usually quite happy to be there.

@sallyswan4558 4 года назад

Thanks! I have had the same rotting issue with my Tiny Dancer and wanted to see how to harvest the babies that had sprouted off the rhizome. I thought maybe I had overwatered the original plant and that's what caused the rot.

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

For some reason it seems to be a thing with these plants. I've heard from other people who have had the same issue. I tend to be an underwater, so I'm pretty sure mine wasn't overwatered. Good luck saving yours!

@peggylee5021 4 года назад

It's a beautiful plant - hope it survives. I like to unpot and check the roots right away and have found quite a few surprises. Ordinarily, I repot within a few days and give all new plants get a dose of systemic.

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

I do the same. I have a pump sprayer that's always full of a systemic drench and ready to go. I always treat new plants as soon as I bring them on my porch. I don't know what was going on with this plant.

@olethacox9659 4 года назад

Oh if that plant could talk, it would surely say “thank you Mrs. Peggy, and I will also thank you again later with a gracious little dance for saving my life” 😌😌💚 J/K around she looks great and thanks for sharing.

@GrowingSouth 4 года назад

Peggy, good call doing what you did! At LOWES there is a product by evergreen called soil conditioner here. Its basically ground pine fines. Its great for drainage and creating a loose airy soil. I will usually mix JUNGLE GROWTH or FOX FARM OCEAN FOREST with coarse sand and soil conditioner. This usually creates a loose airy mix for plants that prefer a fast draining airy soil. I think the tiny dancers you saved will do just fine :)

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing, Sean. It's always interesting to hear what others use. Thanks for your support!

@sherryporsch9349 4 года назад

For me, it depends, if I repot it or not. I’ve noticed things lately in home stores, things are in a heavy peat mix which I don’t like, however I’ve left my Maculata in that soil an just keeping close eye on the water. I know if it’s in that peaty soil, it will rot in a heartbeat. I’m glad you had plants plants left, Tiny Dancer is a gorgeous plant, I’m sure they will recover well in your care. 😀

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

Thanks Sherry! It's such a cute plant and I'd been searching for one for so long. With so many divisions, I think I will at least end up with a couple of them thriving. I hope so anyway!

@sherryporsch9349 4 года назад

Aww I found one, but it was pretty banged up, but it’s growing like crazy. If you don’t find one, maybe I can send you a piece of mine when it gets a little bigger. 😀

I so love this plant. I purchased one last year and it didn't make it. I purchased another one and it arrived on Saturday. I think bugs got to the first one (black little plant mites - so annoying) and I didn't give it enough light. The plant grew leaves but they got smaller and smaller (less than an inch big) and finally it just fell apart. I found the rhizome with some roots on it and I didn't throw it away. It is very very small and I am going to see if it will come back. The worst that will happen is it is no longer useful. Thank you for the video. It has inspired me big time. Hope you do a follow up video.

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

Thanks for watching. I'm excited to see what the rhizome does. So far it's drying and seems fine. It looks like the rot has stopped. I will keep you all posted. Good luck with your rhizome!

@kriskrischi7571 4 года назад

I had the same problem with my variegated alocasia. It just came down with root rot. I saved some pieces of it and not they are thriving! Good luck! I'm sure they'll be fine!👍👍

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing. I'm starting to think the nursery where I purchased these plants has some issues. My alocasia Mickey Mouse had to be totally cut back and switched to new soil. I sure hope they will be fine. Thanks for the words of support!

@kriskrischi7571 4 года назад

@@PeggysPlants yes, it may be the type of soil they used.

@jamielovesjohn 4 года назад

I am a repotter after purchase too. The growers mix is made for rapid growth and is never the greatest. I figure better to shock it all at once, new home and new soil, than do it twice.

@vanessacarroll2940 4 года назад

It depends on the plant for me. I usually let my plant acclimate to my house for a week or so when I bring them home from the nursery. If they look a little rough, I repot them. If the soil looks a bit funky, I repot them. If it looks happy and healthy, I put it in a cachepot until it outgrows the nursery pot. I do that a lot with Peperomia because they are finicky. Good luck with the Tiny Dancer. I am interested in what happens with the rhizome.

@PeggysPlants 4 года назад

I just bought a Tiny Dancer last week from our nursery in Cincinnati. I was told it was a shade plant and had it in my family room away from a window. I notice the tips of several leaves were turning brown. Also the leaves look a little powdery, could that be a mold?

@PeggysPlants 2 года назад

Sounds like powdery mildew which I've treated before with a fungicide, if I recall correctly. It can kill a plant rather quickly. Best of luck.
