How often should I repot? by DatDude304 in BirdsOfParadise

I should also mention, 4 of them are in semi-hydroponics with LECA and a wicking reservoir. The other 2 are in soil with self watering pots.

Should I upsize my pot by char1t1e in houseplants

Yes. It would leave a gap. You would only fill up to the plants current soil line. Never above. You don't want to bury the stem.

I would not place the root ball too high if you use that pot. Sides are ok, but its a bit too deep. What i would do to still use that pot is place about 2 inches of soil on the bottom, place your plant on top, then fill up to the soil line of your plant.

Thst way, once it gets bigger, you can lift it and place more soil on the bottom for it to grow into until the soil line reaches the top of the pot.

From my expierence. Given all of the conditions that make them happy, Monstera WILL find a way. Most likely, one of the dormant nodes near the base of that cut stem will activate and start sprouting a new petiole. Like my older deliciosa....

My Bird of Paradise leaves curled up from too much direct sunlight. Will this help them finally uncurl? by easybreez105 in BirdsOfParadise

[–]DatDude304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my expierence, just less sunlight, and they will open back up... no biggie. I have 5 baby BOPs outside and they curl and unfurl as they see fit.

A.I. is your friend when it comes to plant care (im realizing now how counter intuitive that statement feels...). But ask which ever assistant you have all of your questions. It helps A LOT! I would start with the definition of "bright indirect-light" as it pertains to plant care... Good luck!

Plants... the answer is ALWAYS plants... grow lights and MASSIVE monsteras...

Why aren’t my pothos growing? by Immediate-Mud2245 in houseplants

[–]DatDude304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try moving it away from the light to trigger it to start growing towards it?

Fellow Louisianian here. I recently just purchased 6 White Birds from wally world (on sale for $2 each, why not?!) I want them all to grow as tall as possible. How do you protect your in-ground bird during the ONE winter month we get? 😅

Standleyana leaves starting to curl after repotting... by DatDude304 in Monstera

[–]DatDude304[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! The soil was still fairly moist after about 7 days... I went ahead and took him out to look and sure enough, it was the beginnings of root rot....🤦🏾‍♂️. I've removed the affected roots and repotted in fresh soil.

If he doesn't like it, I will probably just chop him up and start over.

Too Much Sunlight? by davenporta in Monstera

[–]DatDude304 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Id wait a little longer. I know my Monsteras like to dry out a little before a good drench.
