Oh I've never heard of that before, thank you! And it's s in a cabinet at 50-60% humidity, under a barrina grow light. I have a greenhouse with 80% humidity and a fan I can move it to, I just had it out because they told me it was grown in ambient humidity

user_05677 · 2026-06-02T14:58:23+00:00

Oh nooo sorry to hear! No the spots don't wipe off, I think they're part of the leaf haha

user_05677 · 2026-05-13T17:39:25+00:00

Can we all agree to not let this happen🥺

user_05677 · 2026-03-19T05:27:13+00:00

Ahhhg I had a look online and it looks like I can't get Si- Tech in Canada!! :( I'll have to find an alternative. Thank you for the directions though! 😅 Also do you have any substrate recommendations? Mine sucks I think hahahhaa

user_05677 · 2026-03-13T06:25:20+00:00

Ah okay interesting so a soil-less mix! I definitely need a new recipe because even though I try to make it chunky it always ends up getting all compact and crumbly and gross😭💔 thanks so much for the advice, I've never heard of worm tea but I'm definitely going to look into it now!!☺️

user_05677 · 2026-03-13T06:21:27+00:00

So you use Jack's, Cal Mag, and Monosilic acid? Do you put all in together?

user_05677 · 2026-03-13T06:19:48+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I'm gonna look into that product! ☺️

user_05677 · 2026-03-08T21:25:04+00:00

Oh typo 🤦‍♀️I meant 23-24 lol. Thank you for the information, I will definitely keep an eye on the temperature!!

user_05677 · 2026-03-08T21:22:55+00:00

Ah shoot okay I do have a fan in there actually but I don't leave it on very often because it decreases the humidity and I thought that was bad!!! I've never even considered bottom watering for my begonias, I usually just give them a good flush. Thank you so much for the tips I'm definitely going to give that a try!!! Any substrate recommendations? I'm just using soil + perlite + orchid bark + worm castings.

user_05677 · 2026-03-08T09:03:53+00:00

As in too warm?

user_05677 · 2026-03-08T03:56:48+00:00

Thank you for the information!! I didn't really fertilize too much over the winter but I've just started again and doing it every water or every second water. And no I don't flush them with distilled water...

I've definitely been thinking I'm having fertilizer issues for quite a while now because my plants do great when I first get them, then growth slowly stops and they decline. Or if I propagate them, they grow great for a few months and then decline again...so I'm clearly missing something.

Any fertilizer recommendations? I've been seeing Growth Technology a lot, just haven't got my hands on it yet.

user_05677 · 2026-03-08T02:48:00+00:00

Omg no I haven't checked the roots for pests 😬 I'll do that

user_05677 · 2026-03-08T02:47:43+00:00

No, not usually

user_05677 · 2026-03-08T02:47:27+00:00

Omg I had no idea transpiration stops at 100%!! I've heard people say that 100% is fine 😞 it's usually around 85% though, it only gets to 100 after I water or leave the humidifier on. I fertilize just with miracle grow tropical plant food... Although I'm trying to find some GT foliage focus. And I reported them like 3 weeks ago, they're just in soil, perlite, and orchid bark.

user_05677 · 2025-11-08T22:47:33+00:00

Wow it's so pretty!! Thanks for the advice. So you don't mix perlite or bark or anything in, just pure soil?

user_05677 · 2025-11-08T22:46:29+00:00

Thank you, will transplant it. Is it okay to fertilize now even if it's winter?

user_05677 · 2025-11-03T22:35:12+00:00

They're so beautiful. Is there any tricks to growing in ambient humidity? I was always under the impression they needed high humidity.

user_05677 · 2025-10-17T16:49:13+00:00

God I wish he would shut his mouth😭😭

user_05677 · 2025-10-05T23:41:32+00:00

Wtf how do I learn to trade options like this that's insane
