    Szeretnék videót a futók szaporításáról, bár néha látom, de direkt futokat, valamint most nálad viragzokat, és egy videót a 6- 12 honapos növényekkel..❤nagyon sokat segítesz nekünk. Idén kezdtem sok ibolyat nevelni és te vagy az egyik legjobb, aki valóban segít nekünk.. Pár dolgot máshogy csinálok , mert nálunk pld van elég pára a lakásban, nem kell parasito, ect....

      Thank you for your feedback! This is my 5th year of growing, and 3rd year in the new place; when I moved, I had to -re-start my collection from leaves. Hope I can show 6-12 year old plants in the future!

    Love it! Just tell us if you put this glass under dome or plastic bag on top. I've never done it in water. This looks easier . Thank you!

    I have a soil question, i made your recipe but its been sitting in the container for 8 months not being used, i only have a small collection, does this change the PH of the soil, and would be better to make fresh only what i need, in other words , does sitting for long periods of time change the PH, thanks

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  Месяц назад +2

      Yes, potting mix changes pH over time, becoming more acidic as it ages. This is because the organic matter in the potting mix breaks down. Peat moss, for example, normally needs to be used within 1-2 years max. For 8 month-stored mix, I would try using it on a few plants, for which you got extras, for observation in case it doesn’t work. Making fresh mix in smaller batches as needed will work best.

    Hi. I just put 6 of my violets on wick watering. I had previously repotted them so did not want to do that again. I used a large needle to thread the wick up into the soil. My questions are how will I know if it is working? Should the soil always appear wet/moist? Will I know it’s working because the water in the jar is disappearing? Thanks!

    • @grayturtleviolets
      @grayturtleviolets  17 часов назад +1

      @@karenvknight6516 It should work, as long as the wick is presoaked, the potting mix contains at least 50% coarse perlite, and the plants have well developed root system, strong enough to grow on wick watering. I would water it sparingly from the top, after you thread the wick, to get the capillary action going. Yes, you’ll know it’s working when the potting mix remains moist and the water level goes down in the reservoir over time. Happy growing!
