Planting 2 Year Old Sarracenia Seedlings
Просмотров 126Месяц назад
These were neglected for a couple of years after germinating them. The first year they were too fragile to transplant, and last year was too dry. Only 2.5 seedlings remaining but I would imagine these were the healthiest ones. Be sure to subscribe to stay up to date on my latest videos. Thanks for watching and Happy Planting.
Cherry Cutting Propagation Success

My First Bonsai
Просмотров 502 месяца назад
The local garden center had a class on making bonsai so I decided to take it. This video showcases the one I made. (Unfortunately it died.) The Norfolk Island Pine would have been at the bottom of the barrel for my choices of what to use, as they do like more hydration than other typical plants used in bonsai. I'm hoping to set up more bonsai in the future which I would be able to better keep a...

Repotting A Tropical Pitcher Plant With A Wicking Setup
Просмотров 547 месяцев назад
In this video I repot a Nepenthes pitcher plant I purchased from the farmers market over the summer. They typically grow these in peat moss but that does not promote the overall longevity of the plant when grown at home. Consequently, long fiber sphagnum moss is a more suitable growing medium.

Do volcanic sand and white silica sand work?
Hello! I want to ask, if I have isopods and springtails in my Terrarium, would the isopods and springtails die from the hydrogen peroxide?
Great idea
i just bought 3 Jiro persimmon trees & 2 Kieffer pear trees....the cut at the top is fine.....they don't want it too long...it will grow out just fine...
Thabks. I know that ot will help it grow bushier, and it’s doing well, just not ,y preference.
Thank you for this video. I have an incredibly leggy bloodleaf that I’m trying to fix via propagation and pruning and this was super helpful for that process!
I’m glad it was helpful.
So this plant will not work in a terrarium that needs a grow light, as that would be too much light for it? I am trying to grow it in my dart frog terrarium. Can it grow in sphagnum moss and substrate?
I don’t see why it won’t do well in that environment. I would suggest trying a cutting in there and see if it establishes.
They can get a couple meters apparently, rather than 2-3 feet. Hope it’s still doing well.
Interesting. Mine is still in a pot and only 2 feet high. I gave a pup to someone and it got up to 3 feet when planted in the ground. Of course is was in the middle of the growing season when that happened so it could have grown some more.
A friend gave me there's because it has laid over the sides of the pot. The center of the plant is brown, but the outer tips are green. Can it be saved, other than propagation? TYIA
It should be. As with any plant, older growth will typically die as the plant grows and produces new leaves, etc.
Hello, dear friend. I planted this plant with seeds and it germinated, but it has remained the same for several months and does not grow. Why?
The seedlings will remain small for a while. If you fertilize the leaves and give them plenty of light their growth rate should increase a little. Just make sure you fertilize them properly so as not to kill them.
@@Growing-Things- What fertilizer should I give? What do you mean by fertilizer? My plant is extremely small and cannot feed insects.
Can u deliver to India
No.
Do you know why my sundews are drying out?
Are they receiving enough water, or is the light source producing extreme amounts of heat?
I thought natural fibers such as cotton should not be used as a wick because they rot
I’ve used both natural fibers and synthetic ones but typically synthetic. If it’s a plant that gets transplanted regularly it should be fine with the cotton fiber wicks.
did it work
Cane begonia leaves only produce roots and do not grow so it didn’t quite work. I did make some videos on the roots it produced though.
Thanks for this! I got a begonia Pavonina a while ago and your channel was super helpful for care/prop guide(it’s thriving!). Got a selaginella arriving soon so I’m back here for more tips :)
Pretty flowers
Nice i like it
Thank you.
Have you had any good luck in Winston salam North Carolina I get some good traps there
I typically don't go to the ones in Winston-Salem. More-so the ones in Greensboro, but they all get them from the same supplier.
Thank you for the profile of the plant - found it very helpful as two of those just arrived for me today :)
Glad it was helpful!
I'm going be growing flava from seed here soon pretty excited my intermedia cold stratified easily 🤞
Cool beans.
Very useful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I’d probably be a sundew, because I’m carnivorous.
if you live in a location with a temperate or sub tropical climate, you can leave them outdoors with no issue. Only thing you need to do is, water them a lot in their growing phase (always water in the tray) and only keep them moist in dormancy (protect from deep freezes below -5 celsius) with no water in the tray. Use rainwater only and for substrate only peat moss, sand, perlite
Not really a bonsai, but fun none the less
I know what you mean. The translation of bonsai means “ tray planting” or “planted in a container”, but we know that it has to be a miniaturized tree. I don’t think Norfolk Island Pines work well for a good bonsai but that’s what they provided.
Where can I get it? And what material is the liner?
You can find these on Amazon. Then liner is the one that came with it and it isn’t a good one.
you shouldn't grow edible plants in any random plastic containers. These containers are food grade plastics. That's why they are usually more expensive. The UV rays will break down regular plastics leeching chemicals into the water and soil which then get absorbed into your edible plants and can make you very sick.
So is this container safe?
Not sure how effective it is long term, I personally prefer digging them out in its entirety.
This method helps prevent craters from digging them out. But either way will work as long as all the bulbs in each cluster are dealt with.
@@Growing-Things- Valid!!
How often should you change the water the cuttings are in? Thank you.
I rarely change the water but if you feel like you need to you can change it as you deem necessary.
What watering technique is that??? Ive never seen something like that before
It’s a wicking setup. It keeps the roots hydrated without them being over saturated. It's worked really well with my nepenthes.
It's basically a self watering pot.
@@Bookhardtsbooks Yup.
Mine was beautiful with blue when I bought it but now it’s all dried and hard. I’m in Florida. I’m sad.
Did you give it enough water and keep it away from long daily sunlight exposure?
Would I be able to fill the persillade pot with water for a semi hydro setup even if it's not glazed?
If it’s not glazed water would leech through the porosity. Also, salts from the clay/ceramic could potentially leech into the water.
They suck , I ordered for the last 3 months , I got a dead plant , 2 struggling to stay alive , also more then 50% of them were boring sedums or crassulas , for 30$ a box I expect at least 1 rosette or echerveria
Sorry yours weren’t as healthy as the ones I ordered. That’s one of the drawbacks when getting plants by mail versus from a local nursery.
Very helpful, thx.
Glad it was helpful!
i don't this works
It's been a couple years now. What's the update? Images videos
By the way you are the second search in Google images for this
What do you call 'peat moss'? Is it acidic pure peat moss, neutralized peat moss or neutralized and mineralized (npk) peat moss?
Just regular Sphagnum Peat Moss.
I have it in El Salvador by the coast. Love it!
Coolness. It’s nice when one sees certain plants growing in the wild.
Very interesting. So weird! :D
. . . but also cool at the same time.
How do I know what size of pot to use?
It depends on the size of the orchid.
Hello! Very helpful video. I just bought one. I live in northern idaho. It’s pretty cold around here this time of year and very dry. I have a cool mist humidifier going most the time. All my other plants are doing great. So I just bought the blue spike moss yesterday. Brought it home from my store which is also pretty cold and dry. It came from a nursery/green house about a week ago. So today I noticed it looked and felt very wilted and sad 😢. I’m not sure what it could be just from bringing it home other than I have heaters on. So maybe it just didn’t have much moisture to begin with. So I gave it lots of water and put it under my grow light for the night. Any tips on how to help it and to help it live in this dry climate. I know you mentioned it needs mainly shade
They do like wet soil, but it doesn’t beed to be overly soggy. Warmer air holds more moisture than colder air so the heater may lead to a drop in relative humidity unless you add a moisture source which combined with the heater will allow for a warm and humid environment. They’re actually a cold hardy variety of selaginella so a heater may not be necessary. I have mine under grow lights. Shadier will bring out the iridescence though. What if you surround it by other plants? That would help humidify the environment around it.
I believe wet soil encourages fungal growth and rot, so it's a risk, though the plant grows quickly and may be OK. Water prop can be OK if you do it shortly after the roots are vis.
It does, but some plants handle it better than others, as well as the way it’s potted.
I am also from Greensboro and picking a non astringent is the way for persimmon. I tried 2-3 varieties of non astringent and they all tasted good. I am planning to buy one this spring. Good luck with your's.
Cool beans. Thank you.
🎉
How much do I need to use?
It depends on the terrarium size, soil amount, etc.
Hi there! I recently got one of these as part of a bundle of unidentified terrarium plants. I finally identified it, but haven't been able to find a lot on this plant, and even less in terrariums. I'm curious how this got on in yours - did it root? Have you used it in any other projects?
I purchased it off the internet and it has done really well in the terrarium. It’s been needing a major trim for months. I also placed cuttings in another terrarium (an open top one) and it’s doing well in it as well. Mine has not yet flowered yet though. Since it’s a smaller begonia, terrariums are an easy way to keep them alive with little maintenance. I hope this helps.
If carnivorous plants are so sensitive to tapwater, and TDS, why would you add calcium, which is the main ingredient in tapwater we are trying to avoid…
Calcium? Butterworts do have different soil requirements than sundews, pitcher plants, and Venus flytraps. Nevertheless, they are still sensitive to things dissolved in water and need low TDS water.
Recipe: - 4 parts peat moss - 4 parts silica sand - 3 parts horticultural pumice - 2 parts perlite - (optional) 1 part fluval stratum as fertilizer Mix the ingredients above then add the following: - less than 1 part (1/4thish?) houseplant soil with (3/4ish part) distilled water cover - test to ensure it is inert with TDS meter. Swirl with small amounts of water to get all the soil out and into your mix
Thank you. Won't the houseplant soil in your recipe render the water no longer inert when testing with the TDS meter?
@@Growing-Things- no clue! I just typed out everything so it's easier for me when i come back to the video 😅
Cool beans.
Loved your other videos and came to this video. Ty. So to make the new water roots adjust into soil, what do you need to do??? (Or which video of yours should I watch?)
To get them adjusted to soil, I would recommend placing loose soil into a pot, without patting it down. Then make a hole to insert the rooted cutting into and lightly pat down the hole. Make sure your soil isn’t anything that will compact when you water it and that should allow the plant to safely adjust to being planted into the soil.
Thank you for such informative videos. Very helpful. Your voice is relaxing and therapeutic. Thank you! :-)
You are so welcome!
Did you use regular fluval stratum or bio fluval stratum?
I used Fluval Plant and Shrimp Stratum.
Positive info 🙏🏽
