Midnight Repot - Bird of Paradise in Self-Watering Pot
Stealing from my sleepy time to get this done! This was filmed almost two weeks ago but I just now got around to editing it, again at 1am…
I’m very happy with how this plant is doing, hopefully it continues growing at this rate. I will soon do an update on the planty projects I’ve shown you so far. Thank you for watching ❤️

    I liked that you used a little bit of water for it to grow roots. I see how that can be useful. I think I might have to try that idea. It’s almost forcing them to grow roots. Also, good idea for letting it callus over. Smart plant parent. Thanks for sharing the long method.

    • @DaphneTriesPlants
      @DaphneTriesPlants 2 місяці тому

      Yes, I think especially for plants that prefer drier conditions, it works better to have the water in the prop vessel shallower. The cut was bothering me. I knew if I covered it, it would probably rot. And I was thinking of putting off potting it until it calluses over but if I had left it in the jar, it would have probably moulded like it did before. So that was the only thing I could think of 😅 The cut was dry the next day and I covered it. Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️❤️❤️

    I loved that you shared the short method and I'm looking forward to seeing the long method. The Asparagus Fern is beautiful with those delicate leaves. Do you prefer using leca over soil?

    • @DaphneTriesPlants
      @DaphneTriesPlants 3 місяці тому

      Both are fine, I think. With the reservoir, consistent watering is very easy and clear. I still have a few plants in soil and they’re in opaque pots, so it’s not as easy to tell when they need watering but since there’s only a couple, it’s easy to stay on top of it. I guess what I’m saying is, if I had more plants, I’d probably prefer LECA. The plastic bag, haha. Well I don’t have a fancy potting mat, so I do with what I have on hand 😅

      @DaphneTriesPlants 6 місяців тому

      Hi! In the wild tradescantia is a crawling plant, they take over large areas of ground and spread very fast. In pots they tend to trail down and over time lose their leaves and stems become bare except for the ends. I’d suggest chopping it into 1 or 2 node cuttings, propagating them and sticking them back in the pot. That way you’ll have a fuller looking plant. You’ll have to do this a lot because they grow quite fast and become bald on top 😄 Good luck 🫶
