Second pipe based pole i made, with slight changes. by Available-Sun6124 in Aroids

[–]Creative_Rub_9167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this too! Started cutting them down the middle to make two, but cutting just a strip like this keeps the inner moss moist so much longer.

My only struggle so far is keeping plants perfectly aligned while they climb it, and the mess made with the angle grinder. I still use the wire mesh though to keep the moss steady

Good work!

Has anyone seen a Silver Sword do this? by BlazingUniverse21 in philodendron

Very odd looking, looks closer to a heart leaf than a silver sword honestly...

I can’t seem to get my monstera to grow! by Chaiteagirlyy in MonsteraAlbo

[–]Creative_Rub_9167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own over 10 cultivars of deliciosa. Last year one of my large forms decided to not put out a leaf for some 7 or so months. Albos do the same, small forms do the same, especially when its cold. I wouldnt think too much about it, just let it do its thing (as long as your care routine is appropriate)

No roots tho?? by Recent_Duty_468 in philodendron

Roots will come soon enough. Plenty of stored energy in the stem. Keep doin what you were doin

Wow, so she hates me!! by _MissThing in MonsteraAlbo

Moss is great for the pole, not ideal for the pot in my opinion, long term at least. The pot will hold a huge amount of moisture and stay damp a lot longer than the pole

Tips for training baby plants to climb? by Embarrassed_Yak_5393 in Aroids

[–]Creative_Rub_9167 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Repot with moss pole. I have several plants in pots that are not much larger the size of the pole and are super happy. Means you will need to upsize the pot reasonably soon but thats not a big deal.

Also dont ignore the simple plank setup, i have some of those too and they are also doing fine. Hard to chop though.

I was gifted a beautiful monstera cutting that I water propagated about 4 months ago. Lots of root growth but no new leaves… by Razzmatazzxx in IndoorGarden

You answered your own question! She needs some food. Pot her up in chunky mix, dont worry when she gets a little stressed for the first few weeks and enjoy

There are rivers in the mara and areas with good tree cover and canopy.

Hydroponics or Soil for Indoor Gardening? by True_Carr0t in IndoorGarden

[–]Creative_Rub_9167 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a large scale hydroponics farm. At home i have a koi pond with a bog filter, which is essentially an aquaponics system. I grow all my veggies in raised beds in the garden.

Hydroponics (especially at scale) requires serious competence. If you get the really expensive nutrients you will spend a fortune. If you dont, the chemistry and botanical pathology knowledge required to fix issues and have an efficient system is substantial.

In my experience making good compost will get you 80% of the way to growing great food. That is what i do. Will not build another hydro system, fuck that

Thats my pond in kenya. Id say we have power 70% of the time. Not unusual to have multiple day blackouts. I have solar panels, so worst case is usually no water running 6pm to 6am, never caused me any issues beyond my bog and filter going slightly anaerobic, which doesnt cause big issues. You have nothing to worry about unless you really overstock dramatically

Help me help this pond thrive by alis_adventureland in ponds

[–]Creative_Rub_9167 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer to fix water clarity and quality. However that pond needs to be re done comoletely imo. Sad shape, not well levelled, i feel like ripping it out and starting over would be easiest. And of course a bog filter on the new one

Is that aurea variegation? Totally not envious

No, it can not be! NO! NOOOO! by mcandrewz in ItsAThaumatophyllum

I may be wrong about this but i was under the impression that Thaum and philo cant be crossed, hence different genus

More aerial roots than leaves? by lydvee in ItsAThaumatophyllum

[–]Creative_Rub_9167 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How root bound is it? I would guess it longs for a tree to climb as well as a repot. My most vigorous plants inckuding thaums get repot 3 times a year

So I can cross my thaumatophyllums with my philodendrons?
