    I love your channel! I also put ALL plants into semi hydro even Hoya and string of hearts, and scindapsus. plants in soil in my house means death sentence for them 😅 I just can’t do soil 😂 it’s so refreshing to connect with someone who also uses pon and semi hydro! ❤️

      Aw thank you sm! 🥰🫶🏽 the only way I’ve been able to get a scindapsus to grow in semi-hydro is by planting it with a golden Pothos lol it works for now! 🌱

    Love the plants! 🌱 For begonias If you want in semi hydro I just chop and prop in water then transfer in pon in works much better! I have lots of begonias in soil and some in perlite/fluval and they love both 🥰 hopefully it still works for you sometimes the soil roots like the rot 😩

      I will be chopping the begonia today bc the roots definitely look like they’re gonna rot 😅

    With the SOT I bought one that looked similar to yours. I turned it upside down, took off all the soil then placed it on a mix of tree fern fibre mix with pon. That layer was only about 1cm thick and under that I have a self watering semi hydro set up. It's doing really well. Good luck 🥀

    I propagated my string of turtles into perlite and also straight into pon. That way you don't need to transfer it from moss to pon with all the fine roots. It doesn't love the pon though. I keep a reservoir at all times and I think it appreciates a wet dry cycle. The leaves look too full of water and washed out

    • @aprilbrooks

      That’s such a good idea! I haven’t used perlite in sooo long, I need to get a better one because the perlite I have is EXTRA dusty 😅

    Hi i love your channel and energy. I was going to tell you that i have been using great white mycorrhizae and tps one for straight semi hydro transfers and it has yet to fail me. Its healthy bacteria that eats the soil roots. I do have to pull the old soil roots out of the pon after about 2 weeks to a month but by that time my Alocasia have exploded with new roots. Just wanted to share with you. 😊

    Welcome back Mama! 🎉 This video was awesome. Because I have the same or similar plants. Have you transferred a Philodendron Florida green, or squamiferum to semi-hydro? 📌Will purchase some of your growth hormone. To help my probogation. 💛🌱

    I bought some large plants that i did not want to transfer to LECA, with the risk of losing them. All 3 are in soil & now, I am fighting Gnats which i dont deal with in LECA !!! I may have to cave in & try to set them up into LECA. Wish me luck!!
