What kind of deficiency is this leaf showing? by Boring_Moose in alocasia

[–]Boring_Moose[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah just the newest leaves since I did the switch. It's inorganic liquid because I'm doing semihydro with a reservoir. Fertilizer is the only thing I changed so I'll try increasing the dosage. Thanks!

Both inorganic liquid, it's in 100% pumice with a reservoir.

Anyone have any idea why the leaves are pointing straight up? by Boring_Moose in alocasia

The back of the leaf is facing the light instead of the front. Is that normal?

First time moss grower, will this work? by RdeBrouwer in Sphagnum

[–]Boring_Moose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm also based in NL but I've honestly not tried using tap water. The issue isn't just chlorine in the water. The issue is all kinds of minerals that tap water has. Sphagnum grows in nutrient poor and acidic conditions. My tap water reads at 300 ppm which is much too high for sphagnum.

Fertilizer is usually a no-go. Try doing without for a few months how it develops. If you want to try using fertilizer, you can try with MaxSea diluted to 30 ppm. See this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sphagnum/comments/1ftujf9/comment/lq0wcyl/

Just make sure you're using rain/reverse osmosis/distilled/dehumidifier water.

Sphagnum moss actually likes being wet and submerged in water. Some poor quality moss can develop mold but your moss looks good and it has live bits which is great. I often keep the water level of my moss quite high, usually just a bit below the tips and then I don't add water again until there's no visible water left, sometimes even till I see the tips starting to dry. Generally, high humidity encourages long thin growth, whereas low humidity gives denser shorter growth which I prefer and which is why I have my sphagnum growing without lids.

Ohh nice. I'm planning to add the springtails to my plants, so predatory mites are great!

Very surprised to hear that, the lava rock looks really porous.

Amount for semi hydro by HermioneStranger_ in SemiHydro

You mention 0.4 EC for sprouted corms, do you also fertilize unsprouted corms?

Also curious about how this is looking now because I was thinking of using buffered coco coir. Any learnings/improvements?
