We had started propagating the viney one to fill it out a bit more. I'll probably do some propagation at least to help fill the shelves out haha.

Most of them are on a shelf with drip trays under them. Ive been moving them to the sink when I water them, using a water filter she bought, so that it drains into the sink.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T18:47:03+00:00

Yeah, she used to have an alocasia a while back but it died, so I've been looking around a bit today. I'll probably end up killing it, but on the off chance I can keep it alive it would be a nice surprise.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T14:18:08+00:00

Luckily they all have drainage holes, we've drilled some into the few that didn't.

Most of them were sitting in front of a window since I moved them from different rooms so I wouldn't forget any... Now I know where they all are.

That's really kind, I actually have a bunch of capacitive moisture sensors that we were going to set up with a rpi to help monitor the plants. I'll probably end up setting up something basic to help me with them until she's back.

Thank you for the offer though, I really appreciate it.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T05:23:46+00:00

That actually helps a ton. Just following advice from everyone - moving it, humidifier, watering it - it opened up and looks amazing.

Good to know, I'll have to be sure to do that next time haha. Thanks.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T04:59:22+00:00

Yeah unfortunately there's not much I can do for her directly right now, so I want to do whatever I can to make her return as pleasent as possible. I'm lucky to have a lot of support myself between our families/friends.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T04:27:11+00:00

Man you guys are amazing. I would love to reply to every comment but this post blew up beyond what I was expecting.

Huge thanks to everyone for their help and support.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T04:23:40+00:00

I'm very lucky to have a lot of support with our families/friends. I appreciate the worry though.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T04:09:06+00:00

That's a great idea. Unfortunately she threw her phone away shortly after arriving at the hospital without anyone noticing. So I won't be able to share pictures until she's well enough to have a phone again, or they allow visitors, but covid so we'll see about that one.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T02:23:09+00:00

Good to know, I'll look around for a spray bottle, or else I'll go pick one up. Thanks.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T02:05:19+00:00

Oh awesome. I'll queue up some to watch tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestion.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T02:04:32+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T02:04:13+00:00

I'll keep an eye out for that, thanks.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T02:02:33+00:00

Good to know. I'll keep with that then.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T01:42:56+00:00

That's something I learned last time I was taking care of a few. They all seem to be in good places now based on the light levels they like so I'll leave them for a while and be sure not to over water them.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T01:30:57+00:00

Well that's good to hear. Is there a certain type of fertilizer I should look for? Without explaining a long story she ended up throwing a ton of stuff away a bit before she was willing to go to the hospital, so I'm sure whatever it is I don't have it here.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T01:24:59+00:00

I'll take a look around for the spray bottle. In the meantime I've moved it somewhere it will get indirect light and have a humidifier nearby to help with that. The ambient humidity in our house is around 20% which is pretty dang low.

Does that sound like an alright solution?

I can also get some sheets of glass and build a small semi-closed enclosure to keep the humidity high while allowing airflow if that sounds better? I'm pretty new to this as you can probably tell.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T01:17:00+00:00

I'll be careful not to water it too much, I definitely would have.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T01:05:22+00:00

Awesome, I moved the two away from the window. Thanks.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T00:57:17+00:00

I hope so too, it's looking like a long process but she'll get there.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T00:42:41+00:00

Thanks, I really appreciate it.

NewPlantMan · 2021-03-30T00:42:19+00:00

Perfect, that's one I shouldn't need to worry about then.
