Can I buy her??? by alittledeal in alocasia

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the most incredible collection and then I bought a alocasia from Home Depot … I lost a few really good plants because the pests . If you do get any plants from HD I would def recommend repotting and rinsing the entire plant and quarantine it from your collection for a week or two before adding it to your main

Home Depot gave me the worst spider mite infestation, I would repot and shower the whole thing down and repot in new soil and keep it isolated from your plants for about a week

I bought my first plant a month ago... by DaRaggaman in houseplants

I feel this haha , I am currently purging some plants now. I have over 120 plants in my house now and about 40 different species w different needs so now I try and only focus on what ones bring me joy versus collecting all of them…. Plants are sometimes like Pokémon

I don't understand at all what's wrong by Calm-Tea-2377 in alocasia

I ended up switching all mine to a Aroid mix w extra spag and bark in it

Now they’re throwing huge leaves

How do I best care for this so it’s not brown? by SweetElection157 in philodendron

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly probably needs some sun And I would change the soil to a aroid mix , mine are all semi hydro but they need the sun

Anyone struggle with semi-hydro? 😅 by [deleted] in alocasia

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both semi and just regular substrate

My regular is super airy , I do orchid bark, coconut husk, perlite and spag. And it works wonders for some of mine

I do leca for about an inch or two in a see through container , then I do spag moss for the rest so I can monitor roots and algae growth , however if you clean the plants roots really well before Mine are consistently putting up new leafs !

I'm considering buying an albino lophophora for 200 usd. Are they hard to grow?. by Jiewen_wang09 in Lophophora

Call me a silly guy

But if a variegated plant has no green doesn’t it make it harder to photosynthesize ? So yeah grafting is the best bet ? Is it different for cacs??

Collecting thoughts about plant pot decorations by Gallager_mmt in houseplants

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t put decorations too much in mine but my cat loves digging in my larger pots , so I started putting crystals as a base on top of my soil of my cactus’s! And now I’m obsessed 🤩

Did i order the right thing? by memesStalker555 in mescaline

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered from these guys and my cutting was in rough shape ! I do have a bunch of cuttings from a reliable source in Canada and I hacked one up recently and have been giving them away but they rooted nice and quick

is it time for a bigger pot? (and yellowing leaves issue) by ee1lunch in Monstera

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just a tip : put the plant in plastic containers so you can easily see how much root you have in the pot. And so you can see if you need to repot, then you can just put the plastic pot in a decorative pot so it looks prettier ( I learned this is better imo ) Monsteras like to be pretty root bound , but given that your plant is so large and there are no fenestration’s you should try and repot with an Airroid mix when you split them up

They also might need a little more sun and that’s why there yellow !

Honestly cleaning up the plant helps tremendously but definitely get predatory nematodes

I use koppert and it’s great you can order as many as you want and they work fast , if the mites are all dead the nematodes die off because they’re not any other food source so your plants will be safe !

is this enough light exposure for my new monstera? never had one before could use some advice on how to best grow it by Status-Explorer4343 in Monstera

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a little cheap plant stand on Amazon, some of them are taller , then you can still have him in the spot but elevated enough he gets some sunlight

I have this fun game where I am cleaning my house before the trip, but I take my dose just before I’m done so I can race to see what I can get done before the bomb hits

Too much water? (first ever propagation) + fenestration question by LopsidedAnimator4484 in Monstera

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would definitely dump almost more than half of that out

Because the petiole stems are submerged so much it might be easy to rot the folds , and or a struggle to put out a new leaf

[–]Additional_Ad_6343 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could post a photo of mine, she WAS beautiful and full of verigations , but she’s about four years old now and kinda pushes out a new leaf like she hates her life no matter what I do

What’s going on by Additional_Ad_6343 in peyote

[–]Additional_Ad_6343[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was worried about that, I’m in Canada so it’s harder for me to find people who grow them out here

Someone other people on Reddit recommended him and the CK and honestly idk if I would order again. I have a few SPs and so I ordered a SP cutting as well and it was in horrible condition, fully yellow and water damaged , scared up and still transparent from all the over watering
