Its been another week of a hiatus but I am back with some new planty products that I am trying out for the first time. I am planning to make my own aroid mix, finally! So I have supplies for that (charcoal chips, leca, perlite) and I am talking about some basic houseplant fertilisers that I am new to - Basocote, Tropical Sap Soil Gro and Humus Acid.

If I may offer a suggestion…you may want to keep your fan on 24/7 or at the very least longer than 2-3 hours. The placement of your fan will definitely not dry out your cabinet. Remember airflow is very important along with light and humidity. Stagnant still air is not good for plants. That’s why all of the videos of other IKEA greenhouse cabinets have many fans. I have 4 fans in my Rudsta cabinet and that’s smaller than the Milsbo tall and I’m able to keep great humidity. I know you’re new and still learning but I strongly suggest you look into how important airflow is. At least one fan on each level is necessary in my opinion. Wishing you lots of luck on your growing journey! 🌱
Me: runs and starts the fan 🙈 Thanks for mentioning this. I don't why but I get super paranoid thinking it will dry up the leaves. Will try to see the difference by increasing the duration. Which fans do you have. If you can share the link pls. I just feel the fan speed is quiet high for the one I have so I limit its use. 😬
Your plants are looking great! Thanks for sharing 😊 I heard that misting the stuck philodendron leaf as they are trying to come out can be helpful but only during the time it’s unfurling.
Yeah this time I'm trying to just let it be...I think I intervened a bit soon last time...maybe it's will 'unstuck' itself on its own 🙌🏻🤞🏻
It's always so much fun to watch your videos Keep growing...
Thank you 🌿🌿
Nobody shows if these rolls are easily moving or are they just for design.
Hi...do you means the wheels? Didn't get the query...can try and answer 🙌🏻
@@CasualLeaves ye the wheels. I have already found that there is a security function. It does not move when smb does not seat. It is cool.
@@turalmammadov6053 yes they have this great feature that the moment you get up from the chair the wheels won't roll anymore...hence the chair won't move backwards on its own...pretty cool
😍😍
Nice
Good works
Nice ❤
😇🌿🌿
Nice works
The metal is what’s harming your plant leaves, that’s why they look like that. Plus that is a way to small pot.
Ooh probably could be that metal...will change it with a plastic one...yeah guess it's a small pot...will soon up-pot 🌿
Give us an update on the progress
Definitely 🌿🌿
Is there anyone still using PS 5? Everyone using Sony PlayStation 7 Slim in these days.
You mean the ps5 slim? 🙈
Nice 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!🌿
Nice video good work
Hi..I am your new subsribar.I am from India.Your video is very nice.Nice work.
I am not into plants but I like watching your videos.. great .. keep it up ❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🌿🌿💕🤗
Last recommendation is you could chop your plant. You probably have 2 maybe 3 possible plants in that one. I am not an expert, but I watch a lot of channels 😂 one being Alice on YouDontEvenGrowHere.
Yeah I thought of that but I am so scared 🙈🙈🙈 maybe in the future. Great channel, will have a look there and gain some knowledge until then 🪴🎋 I love her videos too :)
I am thinking your pot is way too small for the Anthurium. They like to be in much larger pots that only looks like a 5 inch maybe 6? Best of luck with your leaves. I moved mine back into lower light to get the bleach to go away.
I agree...the width of the pot is quiet narrow. I had to do an emergency repot when I did this and didn't have any other pot them 🙈 I remember shoving all the roots in this narrow planter. Whenever a repot happens, would definitely want to plan better in advance 🪴🌿
One last suggestion, now that you have your pot extender on maybe you can take the stake back out and cut a small slit in the pot extender so that 2nd leaf can rest back into its original position and also have the opportunity to get better light. Right now the top leaf is really blocking it from receiving good light. I hope you don’t mind all of my comments lol. I know engagement is good for your channel 😊
That's actually a very good idea...I will try to consider doing this. Mostly I will wait and chop that last old leaf too. All 4 of these leafs are actually 9-10 months old (if not more). Unfortunately something or the other kept happening to all new leafs which tried coming out after that and could not unfurl. So the plant went through a lot. I am pinning hopes on this new leaf (looks like it will be a big one). If all goes well, will chop the older one after the new one hardens. Still many days to go for this to happen 😇 And thank you so much for all the comments. Makes me really happy and glad to connect and talk about such details about our plants. Something our families don't get about it 🙈 #IYKYK
I’m just thinking about the setup. When new roots start growing they might find their way in between those holes from the moss pole. I’m not sure if that could be a problem in the future but just something to consider.
True, I didn't think about that at all in that moment 🙈 after your comment I went and I checked the situation :) Luckily the part with holes is aligned tight with the pot so hoping that that problem doesn't happen 🤞🏻 The roots have already started growing deep into the pot extender part so I am glad I tried the DIY for it :)
I love the nice deep pot you have for your Crystal 💖 I feel like it’s hard to find pots like that in my area. Thanks for sharing this great idea. I bought some 9oz plastic disposable cups to try and make my own pot extenders. I plan to cut the bottom out and a slit on the side to take off and on. Hope this works out for you 😊
Super...hoping your plant loves it too :) The long deep pots are slowing becoming more and more available online...specially on several instagram accounts...so best it to keep scouting for them 🪴
Ooh lovely. 🎉 I’d love to know how this turns out. I’ve been trying to move my Lux to Semi Hydro and from my observations it seems that it’s best if the water level is kept below the root level. Also is your preference Leca or Pon for anthuriums?
Yeah I did lower the water level, kept them below the roots. Hoping this works out. The only last time I tried LECA was a big fail - for my philodendron congo rojo and Alocasia Cuprea Red Secret...I knew nothing back then 🙈 even now I am learning with every mistake 🎋 The roots have started showing some new growth...hoping this works out...Not yet ever tried or heard about PON for anthurium. Would like to try for sure. I also transferred a dying philodendron mamei in LECA right along with this video, so lets see, it will all be an experiment 🪴 Do you use PON for anthurium?
@@CasualLeaves I haven’t tried Pon yet but I’ve heard of people growing it successfully in it. Considering that anthuriums have thicker roots I might consider a mix of pon and leca and use that. Yet to experiment with that. I have a Lux and a queen rooting perlite at the moment and might move them eventually to semi hydro. Would love to see updates on your experiments. 😊 Especially anthuriums and semi hydro. 👌
@@blessonroy5668 that's great...and thank you 🌿😇
Good Idea, using what you have
Thank you! Cheers! 🌿😇
.. The sponge or the nets are from when the plants was made as seadlings at a nursery somewhere.. Lots of plants have these.. Annoying?? Absolutely.. And they don't do any good for the plants when growing bigger, other than make the plant suffer since they can't grow properly and the sponge can cause roots to die when they can't get nutrients.. .. Simply just remove it when repotting, like you do now..
True...just that at times we can't cause so much trauma to a plant that's already traumatized from the couriers and we only end up checking when the problem has already started 😫
Hi. Lovely setup. I have a rudsta and am planning to add a milsbo tall too once its back in stock. Just curious to know which grow lights are you using in the milsbo? Are these the flutronix ones?
Hi there 🌿 the flutronix lights are 4 feet wide so they don't fit the milsbo tall...I have used Lewano 2 feet full spectrum white grow lights from Amazon
@@CasualLeaves oh lovely. I haven’t heard of the Lewano but good to know. Will look up that. :) Also if you contact flutronix they can send a custom sized grow light too. :) I have 2, 2 - feet at the top and 2, 3 - feet along the sides of my rudsta. All flutronix. Not a flutronix promoter as such but just wanted to convey this so you dont feel limited as such next time. :)
That's great...I'm planning to add more lights so will definitely contact them for this...I had heard of them doing the customizations but it just felt like a lot of coordination work so I avoided getting into it...but can do that for the second set of lights for sure 😀
@@CasualLeaves haha. True it’s a bit of coordination work but worth it in the end if you want a good greenhouse cabinet setup. 😁 Good luck!☺️ Looking forward to seeing more updates on the milsbo and plants growing in it, going ahead. 😊
@@blessonroy5668 I agree...thank you...for your Rudsta too 🌿
Hey I am your new friend here...
Look at all of those healthy roots! Love to see it! 💖
Yesss...it teaches so much patience though 🙈
that nursery is definitely more like a sanctuary! stunning 😍
It really is! Nurseries - are a much better place than any 🪴
so cool !!
The queen is the CUTEST ❤
Isn’t she just 😇 can’t wait for a new leaf to come 🌿
@@CasualLeaves Yeahh !!
@@CasualLeaves Yeah she is....cool
Thank you so much for the purchase 😊 Happy gardening 🌱☘️
😇😇🌿💚
Great video. I really enjoy your content! And congrats on the new Thai. Third times a charm! ☺🪴💚
Hope so 🙏🏻 thank you so much for watching 🌿💚
stop messing with the camera all the time to get it to focus . just place your hand behind what you want the camera to focus on and it will. otherwise why did you kill the other plants?
Nice setup 😊 Are you sure you have enough lighting though? I have a Rudsta greenhouse cabinet and I have many more lights than 2. I have 8 lights total in my cabinet. I hope it all works out well for you regardless. You have a lovely collection.
Oh wow 8...I didn't think about adding more...probably could try for sure 🙌🏻...thank you for the idea 🌿☺️
@@CasualLeaves Sure no problem!! I’m sure you want all of your babies to thrive in your new cabinet. I love mine so much but I would definitely look into other videos on lighting. Clearly it’s based off the strength of the lights and the kind of plants you choose to grow in there. But if those are the Barrina T5 lights, which I have, I’m pretty sure you’re going to need more than what you have. Hope this helps my friend 😊
@@jessicabellone913 yeah we get very limited options for grow lights where I stay...and mostly unbranded...but already looking into finding some more options...thanks again 🌿
Try pumice in your soil mix. It has worked better than perlite for me. Especially in bigger pots. Casa De Amor has good stock.
Thanks for the suggestion...will try to get that as well 🙌🏻
Its jacklyn
Yess 🌿
Do you have some sort of mental illness?
Cabinet doors has to be closed all the time?
Yeah they need to be closed to create a consistent environment for the plants 🙌🏻
Yayyyy so happy seeing your new growth updates!
Yeah it's been a while I saw any good growth on the plants...patience is the game I guess 😃🌿
Either you're very rich or very wise
Nothing like beautiful white fuzzy chunky roots!! Lol 💖
yess 🌿
Does this work??
Yes it's definitely needed...the Cabinet needs circulation for sure and specially if you have put weather stripping
So beautiful and new
🌿🌿🌿
am surprised you arenot adding any nutrient to the soil. you are putting too much faith in the store bought soil and the soil is clearly not making the plant grow and push new leaves. you can try adding worm casting or any other organic fertilizer in the the soil to help with growth. the fact that you have good roots and now growth above soil is because of lack of nutrients in the soil so amend the soil with organic fertilizer.
Ohh okay...I have just been very afraid of the products available here...worrying they may kill the plant...will try to get some organic fertilizer and try this...thanks a ton for the advice 🙌🏻
Where do you get these transparent pots from? Are they more expensive than the regular ones?
They (the small one) are from plantessentialsofficial on instagram...they are very affordable...so do check them out...the other one is a make shift old container from a sweet/dessert takeaway 🌿😃
Paraiso Verde has quickly become one of my favorite plants! ❤
Same 😃🌿
I’m thinking your Esqueleto could be the same issue, to dry.
Yes I believe so too...glad I checked it 🌿
Your anthurium looks way too dry. You should keep a aroid mix with perhaps tree fern fiber together to hold some moisture.
Will check on this...thank you so much for the suggestion 🪴
Beautiful
