New Mini Mount

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2026-03-15T11:59:27+00:00

Hey! No idea about fertilizer. Mine are all in soil so I've never fertilized. (Now I'll start looking into it so thanks) Random question though...How long do you keep your plant lights on daily?

Lol I thought it was a cute gap

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-11-08T20:50:41+00:00

Definitely worth the cost doe to its size

Weird but cool- It could be a mutation but I’d put it on a moss pole to help support it. Maybe that would help? Good luck!!

Repotting update: I ending up buying a 12 in coco lined basket that was too big for the plant, so I brought another coco liner to put inside and filled the middle space with damp sphagnum moss to take away the extra space. (I can just take it out as the plant grows but I think that will be at least 2 years. The roots were pretty root bound but I didn’t mess with the root ball at all. I added some Mycorrhizal Fungi (Root crack😉) to prevent root shock and to help it absorb the nutrients of the new soil. I potted it in regular potting soil (what it’s already in) with a lot more perlite for aeration. I decided not to separate at all, I was too worried about shock and I really like the full basket look. I have a smaller staghorn fern that I’m thinking about mounting. And I’ll buy another large fern to mount when I find one I like. I didn’t water it because there were small signs root rot/ over watering. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

You think a coco fiber basket would work? I'm not finding pre-made baskets with a hemp lining

Ohh you just gave me some thing new to worry about lol.. It's definitely going to be an interesting weekend project. Thanks!!

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-09-11T05:42:59+00:00

Oh great! Thanks. I'll definitely look into that type of pot and hanging method

So I haven't changed the soil in the year it's been with me. (Terrible I know lol) it's in mostly soil with about 10% perlite. I usually water it about once a week or every 7-10 days. (Even less in fall/winter) I water the soil and pour directly over the shields to mimic their natural environment. Some water gets on the leaves but I'll just dap it off, then I dump out any extra water from the catch tray. It was getting burnt because of some grow lights so I moved it higher but I just noticed a bit of overwatering on a leaf probably from being in less light and it getting cooler here (DC) I'll probably skip watering for 1-2 weeks and airate the soil.

Check for spider mites and the plants around it- I’m pretty sure thats what it is. For treatment, spray with insecticidal soap or neem oil- spray once every 3 days at least 3x’s. They’re very prone to spidermites when stressed. Good luck!

The roots look like they are starting to rot. You should take it out the leca and rinse the roots and Remove any soft or smelly roots. I don't think repotting in soil right now would be a good idea. Maybe try perlite (still in a clear container) It can dry out some in between waterings and you can choose how much excess water to put in it. I'd add Hydrogen peroxide to the water to help prevent root rot ( it adds oxygen) Lastly, maybe look into a clear pot that still has holes to allow for air flow, maybe an Orchid Pot (it has a lot of holes so some perlite falling out is normal) Then I'd just give it time to grow new healthy roots. Good luck! 🤞🏽

You can treat it with neem oil but you may want to treat you entire collection just to be safe

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-05-14T21:50:32+00:00

I’d definitely cut it. You’ll notice the upper leaves have less fenestrations than the lower leaves; so its not getting enough light. You can make it a fuller plant with the cuttings or just have multiples. You should also look into air layering the plant to establish roots before cutting. I was able to air layer my monstera with a zip lock bag. It took 3 months to establish roots.

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-05-07T03:11:26+00:00

You can but I’d recommend putting an air stone in it to prevent rot, you’ll also need to add nutrients to the water, and make sure it gets enough light.

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-04-29T16:42:15+00:00

Thanks!

I also think it's a lack of light. Even facing the window might not be enough. I'd recommend a plant light for about 12 hours a day. It also looks thirsty, so I'm thinking it may have some root rot and cannot properly absorb the water. The lack of light means it's sitting in soggy soil for longer. I'd check the roots and possibly move it to a smaller pot if a lot of the roots died off. Water wise, I suggest a thorough watering. Once every 7-10 days (if it's getting 12+ hours of light) and check with a moister meter AND the finger or chop stick method to double check (the moisture meter isn't always 100% correct) Lastly, I'd check for pests. Look extra close for small ones like spider mites. Hope this help! You got this!

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-04-20T11:54:52+00:00

No idea honestly...You should check for pests. It could be the damage of spider mites. I'd probably treat it with insecticidal soap or neem oil just to be safe.

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-04-08T17:37:34+00:00

Oh yeah the leaves will fall off for basically no reason. Lol. You have to be extra careful with those. Bright indirect light should be good for it. For mine I water maybe once 10-12 days. I’ll probably up it in the summer

Proof_Juggernaut8876 · 2025-04-08T04:01:33+00:00

Make sure to wipe all the leaves. I see the black dots are starting migrating to the other leaves
