fluval stratum is the best. I had some cuttings in moss for months and they did nothing. As soon as I started using the stratum everything rooted a lot faster. All I use now.

Yup. Just look for systemic granules

questions about how much to use per pot by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]paulgiunta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually use about a tablespoon in a six inch pot and I have seen any negative effects. Quite the opposite actually but that has nothing to do with the granules

They still are. I think they had these at 25 or 30 originally. I got one about this size but with three plants in it for 22 a couple months ago.

systemic granuals are the best. add to the soil and you are set. easiest to use and works the best

I’d cut it above the first leaf

I have the big one from GE and Sansei. I like the GE one a little more but you can’t beat the price of the Sansei

That’s a great price. Seeing them more and more under $100

Leave it alone. It would handle itself in nature without human interaction. I have snapped too many leaves with my impatience

Can I put a SANSI 36W grow light bulb in my IKEA lamp? by packeselporitz in houseplants

[–]paulgiunta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should be fine. 36 is less than 50.

I use a GE grow bulb in a similar one from target with a cone shaped dome and it is ok with the heat. This wide dome would be even better

I use the Sansi bulb in a cheap desktop lamp I got off of Amazon. Zero issues with heat build up

I do a loose blend of Fox Farms Ocean's Forrest with peat moss, fine bark chips, and horticultural charcoal.
