    It is correct that chlorine can evaporate from water left standing overnight. It’s always wise to check if your water supplier uses chloramine as unfortunately unlike chlorine it doesn’t dissipate from the water, I personally have started using API stress coat for fish keeping which I understand removes both chlorine and chloramine from tap water

      I water my plants with water from my aquariums. It spurs me to do more partial water changes for them, but it also means the plant water is as always free of chloramine and chlorine, and it has a bit of natural fertilizer from the fish and any aquatic fertilizer I’ve added for my water plants. 🙂

    I make my own soil using organic coco coir, organic coco chips, organic perlite, and organic worm castings all from Plantonix. Sometimes I add organic horticulture sand depending on the requirements of the plant. It’s a lovely chunky blend that retains loads of moisture without being wet.
    I also drill additional holes in every pot I buy. No such thing as too much drainage for my environment.

    Excellent! I'm not a big fan of bottom watering either. What has worked for me is your #1 LIGHT! After that Watering properly (not too often) and I use tap water for all my plants. The last thing for me is actually fertilizing them during the growing seasons. I do use grow lights, however not hours and hours, just enough during the winter months because it is normally so cloudy and dreary during the winter months.

    Err... it's not being in the town or the countryside that determines whether your water is hard - it's the geology of where the water comes from.
    Water that has flowed through chalk/limestone is usually hard - that's most of England to some degree. Wales, and Devon & Cornwall, in addition to some areas in the North West by contrast have soft water.
    Manchester & Birmingham have soft water (Birmingham sources theirs mostly from Wales, and Manchester mostly from the Lake District, neither of which are limestoney).

    You have a lot of great information, and I love learning from you. I have recently looked into importing some plants from Florida to where I live in California, and I have found it difficult to do so because California requires the plant imports to be certified nematode free, due to the harm that they cause to crop roots, particularly citrus crops. Just something to keep in mind. It sounds like they are wonderful for helping to manage houseplant pests, but could cause damage if introduced into the environment when soil is disposed of. I really want some of those plants from Florida though 😢

    I love to see my plants respond to my love and care….but I don’t want them to grow too fast. Very big plants come with a whole new set of challenges, especially in my dark home. I had a huge ric rac plant, in a hanging basket. Grew it from a single cutting, it had a premium spot in my best window…healthy looking but the dang thing never bloomed for me and was getting too big and heavy to hang. We had a frost before I got all my plants in, and it didn’t make it….it was outdoors with an equally huge obavata (nothing kills those things) but I have to admit, I wasn’t too sad to lose it. I was able to salvage a few cuttings that were on the underside of the plant, so I’m starting a new one…so I can have the same huge out of control non blooming plant in 10 years!

    You said you didn't think humidity effects growth that much. In cannabis cultivation, the combination of temperature and humidity very much effects its growth. The term they use is "vapor pressure deficit". What it basically is describing is how much water your plants are going through, by transpiration. In a high humidity and low temperature environment, they don't transpire much so they don't need much water. But in a high temperature and low humidity, they're going to transpire a lot more, so they need more water. This process of drawing water through the roots and transpiring through the leaves is also how nutrients are transported. So for fast growth, there's motivation to make it a little dry and a little hot, to increase water and nutrient cycling.

I recently bought one for my monstera with a single drainage hole but it’s currently sitting in it with its original plastic pot since the pretty pot is still too big I don’t wanna overwhelm her with soil. I just bought the monstera 1 week ago and I heard it’s not good to repot them completely right after you first buy them so I only changed the top layer of soil. BUT I’m asking because eventually I want to repot it next year into the pretty pot and remove the plastic growing pot it came in. Since it only has 1 draining hole, do you think that will be enough?? I also just bought a white wizard and plan to do the same. I can’t NOT have them in pretty pots 😂😅 my ocd and aesthetic wont let me lol thank you in advance! ❤
