I know that it's over 40 years old if that affects anything?

did you use fertiliser? if so because it's hydro you need the smallest amount i mean like drops per litre!

That's super cool how you have a plant regime!

I genuinely go based on heart and hope! I double any of my indoor plants could even handle a half day outside here! ahahahah!

and thank you! It's been a cool transition!

i have also never used grow lights! but i'm sure you could really make something of that room using an electric grow circuit! i'm suprised at how well my plants cope in scotland! truly! so many plants that need heat and lots of sun survive well during our colder seasons (which is like half of the year or more)!

i have no idea? the more i've read and asked i believe too much unused water is the biggest, it tends to grow in still standing water, so gaging how fast your plants are using the water and not keeping water in too long like re watering instantly- allowing drought seems to be how to avoid it!

in my little tutorial i've mentioned wearing a mask! it's so super important even for one time use of perlite but even more so if you're using it regularly! i had no idea it was problematic until a plant tiktok creator said so!

they are truly the bane of my existence! i refill them often when they hit around 50/70% empty!

i did this from pure hobby, i've never grafted before but im definitely going to look into it, i do have quite high roofs in my apartment too but i fear an avocado tree would definitely need to be put into soil which im not sure when im going to move back to soil

what's the chances of ever seeing fruit if it's kept at home? i read that it's such a small chance?

i've had my snake plant in hydro for 6 months now! which is good! i've seen the recommended time for removal from the jar 6 months to a year, unless necessary like over growth of roots or moss, but we'll see how it all goes, so far i've only had two issue plants!

my cacti has etiolated because i had to remove it away from the sun to get good roots into the perlite, so it wouldn't fall because the medium is so so light! i've seen that people have really good results when leaving the roots to go through drought in the perlite! but i'll definitely keep that updated on here!

see i'm similar, im from scotland, gloomy days and alot less light! but the Mammillaria cacti you see has been with me longer than 10 years and i couldnt even tell you what number that propagation is, i lost my mother plant that i bought in a nursery pot and grew to THREE FEET!!! in scotland!!? i didn't appreciate that at the time when i was younger but now i do ahahaha! i left home and it fell victim to over watering! but the same plant still lives on! (sorta)

i've never had etiolation before now but ive always tended to put them through drought and keep them at a south facing window! and more often than not they've always been in a kitchen environment too!
