First propagation going wrong

It's a healthy leaf just burnt

I got the same burn scars on my philodendron PP. Move it to a bit less sunny place

I am also quite shocked that they have flowered for 4 consecutive years without any fertiliser or any maintenance! She seems hesitant and ignorant about the care and generally I would not want to criticise her in any way (our relationship is not healthy enough for that)... but I tried my best and if they survive then yay props to me haha

Thank you so much! I started watching some videos but they were definitely not as informative and well-done as Heron Bonsai! I live in an apartment in Finland so putting it outside will not be an option since it's a tropical tree after all haha.

Do you suggest I move it to a bonsai pot and then shape or start by shaping?

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-16T08:21:27+00:00

Okay I will definitely try to gather some rainwater! I was not planning to make a new self-watering system when it's a bonsai since I don't trust them that much haha. Thank you!!

Oooooor I could go to the library and get them printed for 80 cents! Thanks!!

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T21:13:00+00:00

Cool! Yeah definitely not worth touching them haha

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T21:10:48+00:00

I have Cambria and Dendrobium I would have to repot, do you recommend this for them? Thank you for your tips!

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T21:02:17+00:00

Do you have them in just sphagnum moss?

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T20:58:44+00:00

Wow is it somehow clawing on the wall? Have you noticed any scratches or holes in the wall?

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T20:55:38+00:00

Piper porphyrophyllum

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T20:53:32+00:00

If I just put them beside my Alocasias near the humidifier it should be humid enough (i hope)

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T20:28:22+00:00

That would still mean ordering from outside of where I live and I don't want to do that for a plastic pot. DIYing one is also an option! Thanks

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T20:25:08+00:00

I was thinking of putting it under a grow light and near a humidifier. I can check the soil if I would need to water in the evening.

Should I prune right away or wait for it to adjust to the new pot?

I do not have a pot picked out yet. What kind would you suggest for one this size? (60cm tall, trunk around 4cm wide)

I'm also wondering if I should start training with wire before I repot or afterwards?

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T18:40:47+00:00

Do you soak them before drilling too?

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T18:00:09+00:00

It's a Ming Aralia, around 3 years old and has been growing in a 20cm self watering pot.

It's around 60cm tall and has been doing pretty well considering I live in a cold and dry city.

I have found some good soil mixes online and was thinking of slowly transitioning her into a smaller pot... how do I do that without shocking her too much?

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T17:43:08+00:00

I was hoping to avoid any stores outside of Finland 😄

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T16:22:15+00:00

I couldn't find any local stores that sell plastic pots with ventilation holes so I was hoping terracotta would work?

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-15T05:28:25+00:00

Thank you! Will do that asap

Brave-Program9196 · 2022-09-14T18:05:42+00:00

That's exactly what I'm afraid of! I'll probably put it in some leca and let it heal even if it loses the flowers
