- Hi everyone,
I noticed my beautiful squamiferum wasn't looking the best and descovered it had root rot. In this video I try and save the plant but half of the plant wasn't playing along with me..
Here is the link to Catlin from Plant Life in the Tropics video who goes into detail on node propagation: • Video
I hope you enjoy watching!

I'm glad you propagated it. If I spot root rot my first go to is always propagation. It sucks but sometimes it happens. Squamiferums can be quite tricky until you figure out what works for them - then they are one of the easiest plants. Just give them enough light and they are happy. They really really don't mind being bone dry for a bit longer than most philodendrons I have. If you care for many Alocasias that is really though to get used to. I had to learn not to give them more water even though the soil was bone dry. Once you figure the balance out they are really easy going though. Definitely one of the tougher plants that gladly grow over your head. XD Oh and they definitely love fluffy soil! Coconut Husk for reptiles mixed with about a quarter of basic planting soil works really well for me, as long as you have a drainage. Also they love to be fertilized when they are in their growth spurts.
Those new leaves after water propagation is so so pretty
How is the plant now? Did it survive your (well meant) treatment? Sometimes damagecontrol is better then taking the plant apart.
If did not survive at all. If I remember correctly I had thrips at the same time 🥺
@@AbiBloomUK oh thats so sad! We try our best but sometimes it doesn’t work out. I have 3 wetsticks in my terrarium (ICU unit) hope they do wel ☺️
Are you sure that it doesn't get Woody as it age? Beautiful plant.
It does but it’s a bit of an odd piece as it’s got no growth points or live bits on the majority of it. It used to be really ‘plump’ and now it’s really dehydrated. Very odd. 😬
Love the vid, I now know I have to watch out for mine
I too think the woody section is the older part of the stem. I have woody parts to my very healthy P. Pedatum
Keep up the good work Abi
Hi if a stem breaks without the node...can it still be propragated? And if so whats the best method? Water and hope for roots or straight into soil? Than ks so much
It’s not I’m afraid, you need a node 😥
Oh no! I hope it survives. Let us know how it goes
I think you shoud use a much more draining soil mixture specifica for droids. Of what im seeing the soil looks not so good for your philodendron.
have you got an update on those nodes ?
They started showing signs of new growth but I struggled with them as they got root rot. I think the humidity was too high 😩
Any update
Deadddd 😢🙃
I can see and feel that ure sad but dont be (its inevitable but still) cuz u did what u thought the best for your plant, and thats what makes u a good plantparent, not the success with your plants. Everyone of us lost plants due to mistakes. Its the way and there are no shortcuts.
So maybe the soil wasnt the best for this one.
