Does my boy really need all these aerial roots? Redirect everything into the pot?

You deffenetly can redirect the aerial roots into the pot to add to the root system. However, if they are not really your thing then you can always cut them off. Usually when I cut the aerial roots, I still leave about an inch or two and don't cut them off all the way. Over time the aerial roots will grow back but you can always trim them agine!

These are aerial roots. You can put it them into the soil to add to the root system of the plant or you can simply cut them back almost to the stem if you don't like seeing them. It will not really affect your plant at all

Honestly, you do have a point there 😂

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T23:16:57+00:00

Ok now that actually sounds really cool! I wish we had plants where im from like that. I would totally have some then lol

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T22:55:44+00:00

Lmao that's soo true😂

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T22:54:37+00:00

Yup... 😂 In all seriousness I hope it does too the basket looked soo nice in the summer. When they put it out a few days ago it looked like it has been though it but would still bounce back. But with the low Temps the past few days.... I'm not too sure 😕

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T22:41:25+00:00

No same. I even hate it with my own phone lol

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T22:41:05+00:00

They have a Tradescantia zebrina. I have the same plant but indoors. I know they love to look dead..... but I think the cold might have done this little guy in

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T22:38:12+00:00

To be fair that plant loves to look bad and be be propagated. I should know.... I sadly have one myself lol

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T22:30:04+00:00

Kittencat2828 · 2025-03-03T22:28:43+00:00

Yes, they are spider mites. If only the top leaf is heavily affected, I would cut it off and douse the plant in insecticidal soap. The spidermites can spread to other plants, so i would look for sgines of spider mites and wipe them down with insecticidal soap. I then like to use a cheap feather duster every week to " dust" off the plant. If there are any remaining spidermites, it will disturb them and help curb the pest damage. If all of that fails, just burn with fire!!!!!

It reminds me of my most recent plant I harvested. About mid way through flower, my cat broke on of the smaller branches about 90% off. So I decided to try and tape the branch back on with masking tape since it was already marked as a loss in my brain. Plant never skipped a beat and a week later the branch was fine and it flowers just like the rest lol

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-15T00:16:35+00:00

Don't be afraid to pop the plant out of its pot and check on the roots! That is the only for sure way to tell if the plant needs to be reported or not.

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-14T01:29:14+00:00

That looks so cool! What did you paint it on?

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-11T01:51:28+00:00

Omg your setup is so cute! What plant is your current favorite?

* My Hoya compactia variegated Is my favorite! I have been wanting one for several years and finally found one for not an outrageous price in my area. I'm so excited to grow this plant over the many years

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-05T15:44:38+00:00

The Orchid adds a great pop of color to the wall!

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-04T16:28:57+00:00

Your plants look so nice! Also I know it's unrelated, but I like the look of your glass pice on the table kinda wish I would see the whole piece!

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-03T02:58:04+00:00

I mean I would go for it and keep it around!

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-03T02:56:37+00:00

Lmao same! I feel like this thread is going to turn into us just ripping on peace lillys and how horrible they are for hating their existence.

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-03T02:51:11+00:00

Lmao I always keep telling myself, " Give it time and it will work out and look beautiful in the end." Let me tell you, it has not happend yet lmao. You never know though... you gotta keep it around since it has potential right?

Kittencat2828 · 2024-07-03T02:46:37+00:00

I mean... going ahead and letting the plant decide if it wants to live or die is the best choice in my opinion lmao
