Thank you so much for this video!!!! I find that to be true with most of my plants, what I read or hear doesn't work for my jungle nursery. I take into consideration my lighting, the air, and the surroundings and hope for the best! I love your channel, please keep informing us
Dusting/cleaning tip: I bought some microfiber(winter)gloves from Dollar Tree. I find that it helps me with the cleaning/oiling process for my leaves so much! *be sure to wear some sort of nitrile glove under the microfiber for oiling. Your hands will thank you❤
My orb is coming back from the brink! It has three leaves now and I may move into some more bright light to help it on its way! Thank you always Peggy....love from MN
Hey Peggy! Love the Calathea I’ve never ever dared to touch one :) Just a note, at 4:35 you mention leaving tap water out to let the minerals and chlorine evaporate. While chlorine does evaporate/gas off after ~24 HRs, the minerals do not evaporate out. They stay dissolved in the water. These are easily removed with your Zero filter you mentioned!! Take care :)
I had a maxblue which i got on Amazon but now the replacement filters are so expensive. Ive now got a brita but i dont think this type get rid of the fluoride? Does fluoride also evaporate if left out do you know please?
Best of luck. I intended to transplant mine into LECA but it's been doing so well in soil, I haven't made the switch. I hope whatever you decide to do works well for you!
Good video you touched all the bases wish I could find self watering pots at Lowe’s or my local nursery I don’t shop online don’t have internet thanks for the info
I am finding that this plant is more hardy than I realized. I water mine when the leaves begin to droop a bit. In fact, I have let my Orb dry out completely and it still bounced back. I wouldn't suggest that, but I was surprised that it didn't die. It's not as finicky as I have found most Calatheas to be. Best of luck in figuring out what works for yours. I'm pulling for you!🌿💚
