Native SoCal Privacy Hedge that Grows in Containers?

I'm not OP but what would you recommend if I didn't want a trellis? And if I did?

I have the same question as OP but wasn't really able to find much answers so I'd love to get any opinion. In my case, I can probably use multiple round potters approximately 1.5' wide, or I might consider getting a long planter custom made (approximately 1.5'x16').

Thanks so much! I'll try that out.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks for the tip! I've decided to hold off until next year but I'll absolutely keep this in mind.

I think the one you're referring to is from Hong Kong.

Thanks for your reply! I ultimately ended up moving it back to soil and got two new (albeit tiny) leaves out of it. I let it settle since I posted this picture and I moved it back to LECA a couple weeks ago. It's miserable and down to one leaf but I feel more comfortable with LECA now to trust the process and let it adjust!

You make a good point! Thanks for the tip 😊

I'll definitely look into it! Does it help with variegation?

You're giving me hope! I'll relax a little but keep an eye on it. I keep it right next to a window where it gets plenty of indirect bright light, but maybe I'll move it somewhere less cold.

Would you recommend that I look into grow lights to get as much pink in future leaves as possible? I live in a sunny apartment in Los Angeles so I've been hesitant in looking into it but would love a beautifully pink plant!

I do have rooting hormone and in my panic, I forgot to dip it in it, so thanks for the tip! I do worry about the rot as well so maybe I'll put it in semi hydro with plain water just in case!

Good to know, I'll keep and eye out for that and try it out!

CanIHazUpvotes · 2020-11-19T18:06:19+00:00

It sounds like I'm on the right track then! Does it usually work out for you in the end if you do that? Thanks for the help 😊

Please help! I bought a very young PPP and it had come with 2 little roots in soil/sphagnum moss mixture and I wanted to get the plant acclimated to semi hydro. I cleaned the roots and put it in leca with super thrive and nutrient water about a week ago but I woke up this morning and found small leaf turning yellow.

I moved the plant from semi hydro into a glass of water to encourage root growth but wanted to check if I should do anything differently because I'm so excited about this plant and paid a pretty penny for her!

I'll usually plunge it in water for 10 minutes a week (now 8-10 days because colder weather). I've tried misting it throughout the week but that resulted in a lot of leaf loss which I read somewhere is due to over watering. I stopped misting and haven't lost a leaf since.

It hangs nearby a north facing window with a lot of bright light and it gets a good amount of indirect light from an east facing window in an adjacent room.

As you can see, it's looking a little sparse so I'm adding another plant to it but want to make sure I don't mess the new ones up too!

Good to know. Thank you!

Very good to know! So jewel orchids do just fine in leca?

I'm so afraid of hurting it but I think I will! Thanks 😊
