This is great! I’d love to know more about how you water your hoyas in the barky mix in the terra cotta! I’d also be interested in a detailed leca video!
I started adding Bio-tone to all my repottings a few months ago. I've always added it to the soil when I transplant outside. So I thought, why not try it for indoor plants as well? If it helps to transition plants from pot to ground outdoors, it seems like it could benefit houseplants as well. Glad to see someone else doing this too! I'm not crazy! haha
Thank you for this video! So helpful! This might be a silly question but when watering, do you allow the water to run through the bottom of the pot? Or only a little over top?
There's no silly question =) I do let 10% to 20% of water run through the bottom of the pot before stop watering. That way I know I water the plant thoroughly.
I wouldn't repot immediately if the plants are doing fine in its original medium. That being said, you might want to check the roots when you take the plant home.
@@amandalaw7131 thank you! So far they are doing fine. I appreciate finding someone in youtube that's from the same zone as me! Looking forward to more videos from you. Stay safe!
Love your videos. Your Hoyas are doing beautifully. They might be easy to mix up but mycorrhiza are fungi not bacteria, right? Fungi (not bacteria) that symbiotically live with vascular plant roots are called mycorrhizae. Thank you for sharing your recipe for Hoya potting soil. 😊
Very informative! Would it be possible for me to revive a root rotted Hoya (after it has soaked in peroxide rinse and been cleaned up) in this mix, if I keep it in a prop box with high humidity?
Yes you can save a plant from root rot! I actually filmed a video about it. Feel free to check it out if you are interested =) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NGWRgyZI5Ls.html
Wrong Amanda. Living in a high humidity country is not miserable. When you live in low humidity and it’s hot and dry , it really cracks up your face and I don’t enjoy the layers of moisturiser I have to pile on….
Charcoal has very high pH and those „impurities” and bacteria that people would like to clean up with this product are inherent part of plants roots biom... this concept of using charcoal to detoksyfy or purify coms from people medicine and has little to do with life in soil- Gardening in Canada has a great video on this subject on YT:)
