Fun video 😁 Just so you know, there isn't a nutrient breakdown on stratum because it's compressed volcanic soil/ash. Because it's naturally occurring, they'd have to test every batch to get a breakdown, which companies are not trying to do, lol. It does have added bacteria as a soil conditioner. It's a really awesome substrate! The Bio Stratum is exactly the same stuff but much smaller. It's more of a powder. The smaller size allows for use in aquariums for baby shrimp to hide in. They are tiny. Thanks so much for taking the time to film and share your journey! It was a lot of fun 😊 Take care 🌺

With stratum, I’ve been told to buy the regular kind (the one that you used). I’ve been rooting propagations and acclimating tissue culture in stratum and it’s been awesome. I have a 100% success rate with my tissue culture acclimations so far! Mostly Thai Constellations and other aroids. I consider stratum to be substrate gold! ❤

Thats amazing!! Thank you for sharing with us!! 🥰

I am so glad you made this video on Alocasia! My favorite plant variety by far. I have a drafty old house in eastern Colorado, but we just purchased a green house (4x8) for indoors after watching your video. Come spring we plan on purchasing a bunch of different Alocasia, either crom's or starters so this video was just what we needed.

@planttherapii Год назад

Thank you!! OoO that's so exciting! Are you going to wait for spring to start growing plants in your green house or get it started now??

@VollenWeiser Год назад

@@planttherapii Couldn't wait lol It's been up and in use for a couple weeks now. We call it the hospital as we have a few plants that needed so extra attention also we got some starters in there like Pathos, Peace lily, Red Ivy and Aloe Vera, Aloe Vera, and more Aloe Vera hahaha (My wife uses it on her skin nightly and loves it). Going to see how well all that holds up over winter then go for the Alocasia crom's/starters next spring.

@planttherapii Год назад

Haha I was hoping you set it up already! I totally would have too, can't make us wait!! I love using mine for plants in extra need of help too. It's the one area I know I can have regulated temp and humidity

@AmberlyPerez Год назад

You are absolutely adorable! I just got some fluval stratum and mystery corms to do a homeschool project with my kids :)

@planttherapii Год назад

That's such a great project for kids! I hope they grow beautifully for you guys!

I grow hoya cuttings in Fluval. They root up so fast and stay hydrated. Love it.

@planttherapii Год назад

That's awesome! I've been too scared to chop and prop any of my hoya. Have you had any luck propping leafless 'stem' cuttings?

@zandrawostel3765 Год назад

@@planttherapii I'm trying it right now. It had already started rooting when it dropped all of it's leaves. I'll let you know what happens.

I've also had excellent luck with alocasia babies in stratum!

@nancyjustme 10 дней назад

I’m really interested in how long you can use flugal stratum, I have mixed it with extract large perlite.

@planttherapii 8 дней назад

I'm not sure but I do remember it starting to break down after a few months but I don't think I ever mixed it with anything. Maybe that will stretch the life out longer? Definitely let me know how long it lasts for ya!

@strawberrydreww 5 месяцев назад

This is such a big help! Did you happen to try out the bio stratum? I got it by accident and wasn't sure if it would be too much fertilizer/nutrients released from the bio one, did it end up working better?

@planttherapii 3 месяца назад

I don't think I did try that. That's awesome it worked well for you!

@charlottesedita3136 Год назад

I can’t find fluval only for plants seems mostly on Amazon is aquarium What type did u use

@planttherapii Год назад

It's the same stuff! I think I have the link for the one I ordered in the video description!

@vocaloid12776 Год назад

How much water do you add to the containers with stratum?

@planttherapii Год назад

Just enough to wet everything without soaking it! I hope that helps!!

@lisacrausen 15 дней назад

Where did you purchase the large propagation containers with the big domes?

@planttherapii 11 дней назад

I found those at a local plant supply store but you can find them online by searching for propagation containers or something like that!

@heyitsme6561 Месяц назад

What do you do if there’s mold on them? There’s some white fuzz on the ones I’m trying to propagate (on top of the stratum and around the plant and roots) what did I do wrong??

@planttherapii Месяц назад

the mold it totally normal but you can always wipe it away!

@heyitsme6561 Месяц назад

@@planttherapii Will this cause any fungal/mold issues later on when I move them from the stratum to potting soil??

@giorgoskarpathiotakis4986 2 месяца назад

Hi!! Great job !! I would like to ask if you use any reservoirs for these fluvals ? How do you water them ?

@planttherapii 2 месяца назад

I had them sitting in a large tray and I’d just water like normal!

@natashaoreilly7072 Год назад

Stratum is awesome! It’s low in nitrogen but is very beneficial for many plants 🖤

@planttherapii Год назад

What plants have you grown in it?? I'm wanting to try others but I'm a little nervous lol

@natashaoreilly7072 Год назад

@@planttherapii I have used it for corms and wetsticks. I grew a verrucosum in it too! I don’t plant in it as I prefer pon because it’s reusable (stratum can be quite messy and breaks down easily and is expensive) but I have many friends who use it and they grow all kinds of plants in it! Anthuriums, monsteras, philodendron, you name it! Stratum is in my plant drawer for my babies 🥰🥰 I try to use it sparingly 💚 Great video!!

@planttherapii Год назад

That's a great idea! Thanks girl!!
