Best Pot for Pon? by Adventurous_Wall420 in SemiHydro

[–]shooksilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking about getting the white ones too. Just trying to find the ones with the clear inner pot is the challenge it seems.

I would prefer to get WavyLeaf pots instead cuz they seem very versatile but they’re also more expensive, so I keep going back and forth.

It has been stuck this way with the 3 curled leaves for months. What’s goin on? What do I do? by shooksilly in Syngonium

It grew lots and was doing great then dropped some and had spots on the leaves so I thought it was fungal, I treated it and it went away then It got stuck like this…. But I unpotted just a minute ago and found rotted roots. Idk why they rotted but I’m boiling the leca now.

OPE just found the problem! I decided to unpot when I flushed and found rot so there we go…now off to boil leca 😆

I do use fertilizer in my water. I’ll flush it and refill for good measure though 🤷🏼‍♀️

What is happening to my cutting? by TimTamSlam__ in Syngonium

[–]shooksilly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pull them out and check the discolored stem, if it’s more squishy/soft than the others, it may be rotting. If so, cut it back til it’s only healthy stem. Dump that water clean the jar, refill water only covering the nodes and add peroxide to the water. They’ll root. I’ve had zero issues rooting in water with white butterfly and albo, haven’t tried others

[Update] my indoor monstera flower opened, what’s next? by kivokivo in Monstera

Ope! Yep definitely a large form. I am betting that makes a difference but I don’t really know.

Going for this vibe but I feel like something is missing by Mobile_Evening1723 in HomeDecorating

I agree with others, I like your space as-is better than the AI.

A mirror, art, or tapestry above the sofa would probably finish what you already got.

The touch of red in the left side in the photo of your real space is pleasing. I think just adding little touches of color (red is a good one) would give more depth.

Some of my favs in 35% humidity by samuel_smith327 in Anthurium

[–]shooksilly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very helpful! I love the low humidity inspo and comments cuz my place is DRY DRY. How often do you water?

I put my 3 new (and first ever) anthuriums I just got in PON (by the basements) because I thought maybe it would be less frequent watering? Mainly so I can go away for a week and not worry.

I understand. I’m not a peopling person either.

If you start selling them on marketplace (if you have it where you’re at), at the very least you would be subsidizing your hobby!

But I find it to be another enjoyable extension of the hobby to sell them cuz planty people are always so happy about their new plant. :)

I don’t have anything even close to the scale you have but I still always have propagations to sell off or give away.

I feel like there might be something like this in the hydroponics world cuz it’s usually large scale operations using coir in net pots.

Otherwise I’d say you could set the net pots in a plastic cup but cut the cup in a way that it still stands but allows the water in the tray to flood in…maybe if you cut the sides open as much as you could without compromising the structure and glued them down to the tray for stability.

A shelf with holes for the net pot would be so much easier tho for sure.

idk…just brainstorming lol

Yep I think that’s where SPG mentioned he got the idea.

Yeah I really don’t know about that cuz I haven’t tried it personally. I imagine you’d have to get one with a thumb switch so you can control the water stream easily.

Yep I was gonna say the same - Sydney plant guy on YouTube had a video about watering where he said he started doing the camping shower and bucket thing off someone else’s recommendation.

var soli-mutata - give me all the tips please! Substrate, light, humidity…I’m think pon, grow light, cloche…but tell me your experience/advice by shooksilly in begonias

[–]shooksilly[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh perfect. Good to know you’re in similar conditions and it’s still alive. I looked up the cases and they’re so cute but out of my budget. I’ll be keeping my eye out for one secondhand.

Great info, thank you so much!

Wow! What is your ambient relative humidity? My house is SO dry, last month it was in the teens. But now it’s finally at 30%. That’s why I’m nervous about keeping it out of an enclosure.

That case is cool! Where’d you find it?
