    Could you do a video on suggested type of plants for types of pots...for example, a ceramic pot vs terracotta...if certain plants do with in one vs other.

    I thought your tutorial was very informative, thank you. Now I'm going to the kitchen and replant my babies. Again, thank you so much for this video. I'm thinking of making videos on how I love my indoor garden. I notice people love cute puppies, cats, and plants. I love them too!

    I didn’t see a comment saying this but with bonsai we use a chop stick or something like that to make sure the soil packs in well.
    Awesome videos!

    Hi Harli! I love seeing you happy potting these babies! Thank you for doing this for us. I would loooove to hopefully win anything but if I had a choice I would go for the pink lady. Ps. Thank you for being so open with your feelings, I think we don’t ever see how real RUclips and everything about it can be. You are the reason why me and my plants are so happy. Sending you all the hugs xo

    • @PlantsandLucia
      @PlantsandLucia 5 лет назад +1

      Yes!!! Watering is super important I think and sometimes difficult to know when! One thing that I love about taking care of my plants is that they teach us to follow our senses :) for me, my favorite way to check is to touch the soil and go two knuckles down.. If the soil feels dry it is usually good to water :)
      Hope this is helpful!

    • @kenmoreSF
      @kenmoreSF 2 года назад

      One of the biggest mistakes people make is overwatering their house plants. House plants love to be deep watered and then leave it alone until all water consumed by the plants. How long depends on the size of the plant or the environment of the surrounding. One of the tools that will help you to know when to water is using a moisture gauge. It's like a thermometer but it measures the moisture condition of the soil.

    • @HarliG
      @HarliG  2 года назад

      It kind of depends really, but this is just a general rule of thumb. Mostly because substrate in a large pot holds on to more moisture & can cause root rot in small plants.

Do you have any idea WHY?? Also, grocery store prices on vegetables especially salad greens is crazy; so we decided to start planting some vegetables in my tiny space that’s available!! You think you can make a video on how to start your own vegetables garden at home…please pretty please 🙏…thanks and keep up the great work …❤️❤️

      @OrphanCrippler1 4 года назад

      You should always choose a pot with holes in the bottom. If your pot doesn't have holes, you can buy a diamond tip hoke saw from a hardware store and drill them yourself.
      Another method that works is putting duct-tape over the area you want to drill a hole in (in an X like a pirate map so you have two layers of tape), and then you can drill the hole with a normal drill bit

      You can also buy large trays that are used for tomato grow bags they come in lots of different sizes but are always great for adding pebbles and water....they act as a humidity tray meaning less watering and any over watering you do will just refill the humidity tray meaning less mess and less fuss. The best thing is beacuse they're not single trays you can get your collection nice and close together in a nice arrangement meaning less lost space... beneficial for you and for your plants as they like to be social and among similar plant friends lol I know I sound weird saying that ...but trust me lol😉

      @@alasandi31 they are just meant as external pots. If you need to repot from the nursery pot that has drainage just buy the next size up with drainage holes they are cheap and buy another nice indoor one for the outside that's the right size of you want. Keep the old nice indoor pot for a new smaller plant. Try plan your next purchase so it is smaller than the spare pot you have and has tome to grow into it. Every plant needs drainage holes. The nice ceramic ones are only for decoration.

    Is it better to repot when the soil is dry or little wet?

    Is it o.k. to re-use old potting soil or should you always repot with new soil..?
