In general, ficus don’t like change and hate life frequently. For example: ficus lyrata. I have a benjamina that drops leaves when the seasons change, if I move it, or if I give it the side eye.😒
I've been using the "root crack" since you first talked about it and love it. Look forward to hearing what you think of this new fertilizer. I know you'll give us updates😉
I repotted 22 plants yesterday cause like after I fixed a root bound pot another one spawned! 😰 I kept gathering groups of 4-5. I felt like a mad woman. My poor deck is a mess as I finished at 1:30am and had no energy to finish cleaning everything up. 😂
Relatable. I travel a lot and my plants suffer in my absence. I go through this for hours when i return. Despite the tedious and ardous labour, it's a labour of love. I love my greenies. They make me happy.
Maybe look into transferring them into a hydro culture substrate. It's quite the chore, if you have a lot of especially bigger plants, admittedly...and there is the cost factor of the substrate and special pots...but once you're done and the plants have 'settled in' caring for them is a breeze. And they can take a week or ten days of absence, no problem. And no more worries about pests, as these can't thrive in the non organic substrate.
Like my pothos - they want a new home every other month I feel like 😂. And Yes! The new root crack/fertilizer risk cool. You don’t need to necessarily sprinkle on the roots if you’re not repotting. You can sprinkle on the top of the soil. I’ll share how well this goes!
Any suggestions on how to properly take care of a banana palm plant? I've had 2 and currently losing my 2nd one. It might have a fungus but i cant tell! Briwn spots and also edgea browning. Have watered plenty plus have seen new growth but it's weak. Have fed it too.
i would watch the contents of your water, make sure there isn’t too much chlorine that can kill off the leaves. definitely watch for fungi too. since they need constant watering, make sure you have adequate drainage in your pot and soil!
Aint no way this works, but I take my monsteras roots that are above soil and put them into jars of water, they put their energy (I'm literally just guessing) into making those roots the size and shape of said jar, and then i do it again. I mean technically my monstera is alive but some people hate how the roots look out of soil and I'm no expert, I just know they're "swamp plants" and that's just word of mouth 😂
A lot of plants can develop 'water roots' as well as 'soil roots'. Those are different types, as 'soil roots' will rot in too wet of an environment. But yes, the plant will put its energy into growing towards the water source. So your theory actually makes sense. As far as I can tell, anyways. But maybe add a bit of hydroculture fertilizer to the water every now and then, so the plant still gets the nutrients it needs.
At the end where you were watering it with a hose, do you have the link to that clear plastic item you used under the potted plant to drain all the water from it?
Root booster will not prevent transplant shock, you removed roots instead of upgrading pot size, if you essentially can’t handle a plant that big give it to someone else instead of chopping the root system
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow it’s not a good option though, it stresses the plant regardless. The root system eventually will not be great enough to support the plant above the soil
I’ve done it multiple times with multiple plants. I learned plant care is not a one-size-fits all approach. What works for one’s environment may not work for another. If you don’t want to root trim your plants, then you simply need not do it. It doesn’t mean other people can’t.
I am sincerely puzzled. The plant was unhappy because the roots were unhappy. So you cut the roots off...won't that continue the unhappiness. I freely admit logic is not my strength. I'll just think about the slide of joy and not tax my feeble brain.
Haha the plant was unhappy because it was rootbound. By trimming the roots, it’s giving the roots more space in the existing pot to continue growing. It’s a thing!
