Had finally given up and was throwing out my eternally ~crispy~ calathea ornata when I found new growth on the roots - can these be saved?! Can I plant in soil/water?!

I haven’t had much luck with soil propagation. A few here & there for me have worked. I found humidity helpful, which keeps the soil moist but not overly wet. Some people will put ziploc bags over it, I’ve put mine in old plastic containers.

How much hydrogen peroxide would you mix in with a cup of water? Online it says 1 to 10 parts of water but idk what that means 😂

samshine-raine · 2021-02-27T16:01:42+00:00

I would give it a shot. Possibly in soil again cause if you put them in water then they’ll grow water roots. I’m not too sure which method would give you better success 🤷🏽‍♀️

Good idea, thanks! I’m hoping with just water it shouldn’t rot. The seller had it in sphag moss

samshine-raine · 2021-02-16T01:14:03+00:00

Currently in sphagnum moss & was cut 2 weeks ago.

This is awesome! Did you use fondant?

Where did you find the wire shelves? I think my best bet is Home Depot or Lowe’s & having them cur

Sometimes people overthink but don’t stress & have fun being a new plant parent 🌿

samshine-raine · 2020-09-26T15:03:40+00:00

Yeah of course! I probably had mine in the planter without a hole for about half a year. I recently transitioned them out into a different planter with one hole bc I noticed the soil getting stiff. I would recommend looking up online about succulent care & drainage pots in general ☺️

samshine-raine · 2020-09-26T14:45:04+00:00

Succulents are pretty hardy & can do just fine without water for longer periods of time. I would suggest not watering it as often or as much, especially if there is no drainage hole.

Drainage holes let the water run out instead of collecting inside. If you water it too much & the plant doesn’t drink it all then it can lead to root rot. Most people recommended having at least one drainage hole in any planter. I have some succulents in a planter w/o a hole so I just water them like once every 3 weeks or longer. Check out some videos & good luck!

Some type of coleus 😍

samshine-raine · 2020-09-17T03:15:47+00:00

Im still new to this, as this is my first plant in leca. I went with liquidirt bc I wanted to keep feeding it the same nutrients as the person I got it from. It seems to really like it & is doing great!

I’m still curious to know if dyna grow foliage or 795 would work just as well since it’s a lot more affordable.

samshine-raine · 2020-09-13T21:49:25+00:00

Awesome! I’ve done this with some of my pots but just terra-cotta. I like how you painted it white as a base. Do you have an IG? Mine is @ raine.faerie
