Today we take a little break from Orchids and attend my new Monstera plant! This is the Thai Constellation and Ive wanted one for ages, but the price was too high. Now it is a lot more accessible, so I took the opportunity! :D

I also have the Thai Constellation currently in a chunky soil mix and so far so good. Besides orchids, I collect hoyas and carnivorous plant

@shadowcrafter3987 Год назад

The Monstera is so so pretty! congrats on branching out!

@tinarytting3799 Год назад

I really appreciate you showing the problems with certain types of monstera. Thank you! I don’t have one but have thought about it. Now I know which one to avoid to start with. 😅

@stuntmonkey00 Год назад

Just a heads up for people thinking of jumping into Thai Cons now that they are more "affordable." They are prime scammer bait; high profile example is just a couple of months ago a an Etsy store grabbed a couple thousand quick sales on suspiciously low priced cuttings and ran off. (Etsy protected the customers, naturally.)

I actually repotted my monstera deliciosa in self watering with lava rock and pumice after previously testing it out with an anthurium. I like what I see and the level of airiness and moisture this ensures to the plant.

@wandashaw3551 Год назад

Hi Danny, I hope that your Monstera loves it;s new home in LECA. I have the majority of my houseplants in LECA and/or Pon or a mix of both and they seem to enjoy it very much. I did try some of my orchids in LECA and it didn't go very well. I then switched to growing a few in PON and they are doing so.

@Tammym83213 Год назад

I do a lot of propagating in LECA. I currently have a Pink Princess Philodendron baby in LECA, and it is doing great!!! So far, no stuck leaves, which is so common with the PPP.

@vamosaltemacongabrielmende3965 Год назад

I have bromeliads with my orchids, super easy to care for.

@kat1984 Год назад

I'm a fan of pothos,philodendron, kalanchoe, and crassula varieties. I love my kalanchoe uniflora and crassula plants jade is an easy succulent to take care of. They enjoy heat and are drought tolerant. Syngonium are also fairly easy.

@SANDRA-ni3wi Год назад

I have an albo too, but I chose one that had about 30% variegation so as not to tun into too many issues regarding all white leaves. So far so good, it’s a stunningly beautiful plant, we will see how this pans out. I like to keep epiphytic plants with my orchids. Anthurium, Hoya and Dischidia do very well. I did like Calathea, but these are gigantic spider mite magnets, which is kind of not worth the hassle in my opinion. The only one that does really well is the Stomanthe Triostar, it did have spider mites once in the past but it recovered quite well, unlike the others 😢 I keep almost all my plants, including my orchids in Seramis, which works well for me. Some are in pon and a few in moss. I don’t like the look of Leca, so I have never tried it. It reminds me of these neglected office plants you used to see in the past.

@nickn.6934 Год назад

For this potting style could also gauge when to water based on weight

@lesliewilson4079 Год назад

I had a monstera do great in leca w/semi hydro. I also used orchid fertilizer. It got so big I had to rehome it.

@andiiryan Год назад

I have the same issue with mine. She is huge!

@fletchybabe6172 Год назад

Good idea to compare the leca and lava rock, perhaps experiment the half moon in sunny position and shade to see if you get more green in shade??🤔🤔😁🌱☀️

@GreyDevil Год назад

I haven't tried propagating in leca, i generally will propagate in water or if its a more hearty type of plant i will propagate it in moss or other airy mediums. Though in moss i always end up having problems with algae, does leca also have issues with algae?

@centaurea4215 3 месяца назад

My most easy going plant so far is the Philodendron Ring of Fire and Prince of Orange. Second to that are my string of pearls and bananas although theyre not as pretty. I love them, but theyre not interesting like my Burle Marx philo. That one gives me trouble though. Anything succulent loves my house.

@jessicabey275 Год назад

How are your other houseplants doing? The alocasia black velvet and dragon scale are the ones i remember 😊

@anavarro2288 Год назад

For your albo- did you try putting keiki paste on the green eye of the monstera? Ive had good luck for my plants that have nodal spaces.

@tammyjohnson7401 Год назад

I love these experimental plant videos, question, would they grow more white leaves due to stress? Take care Dani.

@MissOrchidGirl Год назад

Hi, as far as I understand no, it's just luck 😆

@andiiryan Год назад

I have a bog standard Monstera and I am terrible at looking after non-orchid plants so I potted mine in a standard self watering pot with leca and if you pardon the pun it’s a monster. It’s getting past the mantle space that I have for her so I’m trying to find another spot for her. But she loves what she’s in. Don’t know if the variations are more finicky but this one is huge.

@erint5373 Год назад

I will be interested to see how this pans out long term, as I have a very large monstera, potted in compost&rock mix for several years-every year it struggles in summer to stay hydrated (even though I am using an actual bucket as a pot!). If leca works, it would mean a self water solution might be possible!! Maybe even something where I don't have to lift the plant so often as it's dang heavy!

@aniliname Год назад

I've got a large monstera albo in pon in self-watering and it's very happy in that setup. If yours is super massive there might be an issue with the leca transporting the moisture properly to the higher layers. In those cases I've switched to half pon half soil and self-watering and it's been great for a lot of my plants.

@catalinapopa4490 Год назад

Hi Danny! What about your hoyas?

@mogo5555 Год назад

I have an albo, which is doing well and just got a Thai. The albo is definitely a much healthier plant. Probably from all the mass tissue culturing of the Thais and I heard this latest round is a lot weaker than the original. Good luck.

@jessicabey275 Год назад

I have cuttings of marble queen pothos, Monsters adanonii, tradiscanta, philodendron Mican. They are doing OK but the mican is slow growing I heard.. Marble queen isn't doing good it keeps rotting so I might bite the bullet and put the cutting in spagmoss. I have them in just water at the moment except for mican it's in bark/spag mix

@miguelmelendez9914 Год назад

Try alocasias like maharani,black velvet,frydek,cuprea etc

@jhndr0nia Год назад

Really liked your video as always although I wouldn‘t agree to refer to reversion for variegation if a variegated plant turns entirely variegated. Also I‘m pretty sure the Thai Constellation can go entirely white eventually. Stable variegation usually means that the variegation is coded by the genome of every cell unlike unstable/chimeric variegation where certain tissues/cells are mutated in the way that they don‘t produce chlorophyll like the rest of the cells in the plant. So for chimeric variegation you got cells of two different genotypes in your plant what makes it unstable if one of the cell types proliferates faster and outgrows the other

@MissOrchidGirl Год назад

Hi, never said anything about reverting to white, I said quote: 'revert to green or just go all white' 😊

@jhndr0nia Год назад

Oh you‘re absolutely right. I‘m sorry I understand wrong😅

@anniz9148 2 месяца назад

Update please

@zwicknagel Год назад

Watch the Thai C. very carefully, it is probably very susceptible to root rot. (Because you have not rinsed the complete soil!).

@iddybiddyladybugleeza262 Год назад

Do you still have your African violets?

@daniels8297 Год назад

Nah, I'm not that much into variegated plants. I prefer regular, od fashioned greenery. Beside monsteras (which I need to repot and prune ASAP) recently I'm giving a try to peperomias. These are small, cute and non demanding much as orchids :)
