And no one bothers to think of root rot from the constant source of water. Snake plants and pothos love dry soil. Yes water it but not as often as most.
I agree with you on snake plants, I've lost several to root rot from wet feet.. but I grow pothos emersed in my aquariums with the roots in water 100% of the time.
@@alexs4446 pothos can survive in water as long as there is not soil on the roots. I water propogate all the time. But the roots wont grow as fast and strong and it would in proper soil.
It travels ut the rope and into the dirt. Many plants are better to water by letting it travel up like that, rather than straight onto the soil. You don't neccesarily need a rope to do that though. If you place the plastic pot with holes on the bottom into a lagrer pot and put the water in the larger one you get the same effect. It travels up the dirt through the holes. It's how I water mine
That's a recipe for root rot. Snake plants like to dry out between waterings. I water once before winter hits and leave it for a month or two. Checking it to make sure it's ok. Water maybe two to three times in the summer depending on where each snake plant is located and how much heat it gets. (110° regularly in my area in summer)
Yo tengo varias de estas plantas y no le pongo casi riego, excepto cuando está la tierra muy seca y tampoco tiene tanta tierra. No necesita demasiados cuidados, es muy noble
@@kavithareddy9802 and when the water evaporates out of the glass? Point the person was trying to make with the comment is that eventually you will be "watering" it.
I have a collection! The majority in substrate but, also in reservoir! They do grow in water… Now ! I haven’t experimented in substrate and then water reserve. 🧐 a must try… Thanks for the video 😍👍
ive gone 6 months without watering my snake plant and it never dies. it requires very little attention. you dont even have to go all through this. unnecessary but a cool project.
They dont NEED dirt. A glass container is all they require!! I have several snake plants/Mother in laws tongue growing around my home both in dirt and water.
No meu país, Brasil, essa planta com as bordas amarela é conhecida como espada de Santa Barbara, a toda verdinha sem as bordas amarelas é conhecida como espada de São Jorge. É muito usada nos terreiros ( templo) de umbanda, religião de matriz africana sincretizada com o cristianismo. Ela é usada quando incorporam o orixá Ogum e a de Santa Barbara para saldar o orixá Oxum.
Essa planta e bom pra quebraduras põe um pedaço quadrado no fogo segura uns segundos ela libera um olho passa ele na região onde quebrou este olho quente penetra no osso dando alívio e ajuda sarar o seu osso passar nas juntas a folha requentada seu olho
Yo la tengo y ya no me gusto por el nombre, detesto esos animales, me voy a desaser de ella porqué me parece ver un bicho de esos enrollado encima de la mesa, la verdad no sabía que se llamaba así.
When the cotton cord is inserted through the hole in the bottom of the pot like this one it’s supposed to be “ the plant gets a drink when it’s thirsty” . I appreciate the information everyone has offered because I bought one and it died so, I recently bought a new one to try my luck with it. This one I set on my desk beside my light ( I think I put a 40 watt bulb 💡 in the lamp). Thank you, guys , for the helpful information. 😊
Thank you 😊 so much for your informative way you put your snake plant 🌱 together ❤. I would put it in 3 different pots per plant 🪴 it wouldn’t be as full though. I like 👍 the one you did with all of the plants 🌱 together. ❤
Inaccurate title. It should be self watering snake plant. The cotton rope wicks water into the media, in this case coco coir. The plant will absorb water as it grows and the cotton rope wicks water up accordingly. The water needs to be changed often or bacteria will grow. Many people use the same concept to grow crops in their yards.
I'm really sorry to say, but this will cause your snake plants to rot. They are a type of succulent, and they should be in a chunky soil that drains fast. It should be left to dry out, and water only once a month, or less.
Yo la conosco como,la espada de angel.y data de mi tatarabuelita y demas ancestros que culpa tienen la vivoras y Las suegras,piensen mas positivamente,no jusgen en el ojo ajeno que como seres humanos todos tenemos nuestros negativos y positivos, es Bella y sirve,para Dar oxigeno.l love you take care God bless you.
i did this with an indoor basil plant and it works well because basil is very dramatic, with limp leaves looking like it is dying of thirst. it dries out quickly, in my dry heat apartment. I was watering ever 1.5 days. i don't think I would try this with a succulent/snake/jade/cactus because they carry their own water and if watered a little once a month or two, that is more than enough. this is root rot waiting to happen.
Aquí en mi País, qué sustrato puedo utilizar, tengo algunas plantas yRosas que demoran en florecer, una de ellas es la Cuna de Moisés, Anturios,y Amarilis,también algunas Orquídeas, Bendiciones, Irma,desde Cuba 🤦🏻♀️
Every time I’ve tried propagating with cut leaves they rot in the water dish. Even when they were upright with twine in between them to help them stand. I gave up on it after two fails.
After I saw that the plant would 'wander', I let the fabulous creature find its way, choosing its own course, and it has become very strange and charmingly happy. It is a little hilarious, though... after a year it looks like an abstract moose-head. Yeah, I know. My friends don't see it either...
