Not gonna lie… your cat walking back and forth made my day 😍😍😍😍😍
Totally!
Came for the plants, stayed for the kitty hijinks 😻
Muffin just hanging out staring into the camera gave me life, so cute. 🥰 love her little cameos
I put aquarium water conditioner in my watering pots. It's called Stress Coat. It removes chlorine and neutralizes the chloramines and heavy metals. I'm not saying it makes your water distilled by any means, but it's super cheap, only need a few drops per gallon, and it for sure takes care of chlorine, nitrates, and chloramines. I've never had brown tips or edges on my prayers plants and I use just tap water with the stress coat added.
Thanks for the tip!
I think stress coat binds heavy metal together so your mechanical filtration can remove it.
@@bigpolyenergy oh you're prolly right. I always wondered how exactly it works, LOL. I just know it seems to make my fishies and my plants happy. 😃
@@plantsandpiggies7758 your very welcome 😃
Actually..stress coat does exactly that, provides a stress coat for fish which is the slime you feel on their skin, protects them from disease! Not the product I'd recommend, if anything seachem PRIME would work better.
Your cat is adorable - such pretty eyes!
Here is an interesting story if your wondering how these plants come back from the brink of death. When I went into labor (3 weeks ago) one of my Labrador retrievers (he's very sensitive) got sick while we were at the hospital and decided to eat my Stromanthe triostar 🙄 (it was a HUGE plant with close to 30 leaves that were a foot long each) and he ate every single leaf. 3 weeks later with keeping its conditions perfect and it has 3 new leaves. If you can match the conditions these plants like I've found they are actually super hardy plants.
P.s. my dog is fine and his vet thinks he got super sick from the stress he sensed from me going into labor.
😢
I got one of these 2 years ago and made the mistake transplanting it to a ceramic pot too soon after I got it. ALL of the leaves except for 2 of them died (and this plant started out massive), and I thought that was it for it. Nevertheless I kept it and kept watering it and had a humidifier right next to it, and then almost a year later it started growing back its first new leaf! Now 2 years later it's grown back bigger than before and is gorgeous! Definitely don't give up on these plants even if they die all the way back, they will surprise you!
Living for the Muffin cameos!! 😻
My Triostar died a slow and painful death some time ago 💀 but I'm considering trying again with her and the Ctenanthe lubbersiana. They're both so beautiful ❤️❤️ and I have a bit more plant care experience under my belt now.
I moved to Brooksville Fl. 13 years ago with 3 Triostar plants. I how have 70 plants and could have twice as many if I kept dividing them. They are outside in pots. I did bring them inside when the temp was going below 45F.
Beautiful cat beautiful plant!
I really enjoy your Plant Of The Week series!
For a moment there Muffin was like... "All right Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up".
Beautiful gal knows she can be a diva!
I bought this from my local greenhouse impulsively because the colors were irresistible!! I assumed because it's a houseplant it's easy! Well now I'm waking up every morning to turn on a humidifier for my plant, got an RO system installed, and carry a PLANT with me when I go take a shower lmfao. This plant is so pretty I would die for it!!
I have been watering my triostar using water from my fishtanks after water changes and it seems to love it. It is dechlorinated, contains a nice load of nitrates, and isn't hard like my tap water.
I love my triostar - it has leaves that are close to 12 inches by 3 inches.
I use water from a dehumidifier in the summer. This past winter, I've been melting fresh snow for my prayer plants. No browning and it's free!
That’s a great idea!😮
At 2.00 when Muffins staring into our souls was so cute!!!! I love her!!!
From what I've found over the years of keeping "prayer plants" in different states is that they are most sensitive to high mineral content in water (hard water). Distillation and reverse osmosis filtration are the best ways to remove minerals from the water column.
When I first got my triostar a year and a half ago, it freaked out when I first got it home and lost 2/3 of its leaves over about a 3 week period. I was so frustrated. After that though, it’s steadily grown back leaves and is about to the size it was when I first bought it. It is still one of my favorites. Thanks for making this video and explaining all of the science behind the tubers and the color on backs of the leaves! I love learning from your videos!
I potted my triostar in a self watering pot and it's growing like crazy!
ooh what brand do you use?
@@onyaeonyae7 Xeternity-Made
This is always one of my favorite plants in my collection. It is a show off.❤️
I love how much you love your cat~~❤😻Everything is a toy to every cat. Love it
Dude. I normally get super bored of plant youtube videos end end up zoning out/closing the window, but the fact that your cat was just chillin, made me totally pay attention and listen to the whole thing.
Hi another great informative video..Muffin is adorable your'e a loving parent
I had no clue about this plant and was sent it (in the winter in WI) and it arrived as what appeared to be DOA. Knowing nothing about it, I had nothing to lose, hacked off everything dead. Ignoring it, now and again watering with distilled water and leaving it in a fairly bright room……it has sprouted several new leaves and is going like a champ. Who knew?
Ive been caring for my poor girl all wrong 😅 glad i found this before she went to the farm
Beautiful kitty 🤩. Thanks for the video!
It was sooo helpful! My plant wasn’t looking the best, but you helped me learn that it has spider mites! 😭 Now it’s looking like it’ll survive, so thank you again!! ❤️
I got a huge pot of this just a few weeks ago at my grocery store for $20. I am not the best with these as our humidity is typically at 20’s to low 30’s in the desert. I have a humidifier going near it and it’s in a plastic pot. We will see how it goes. Worse thing is it dies back completely (or I guess the worst is it just dies) and I try to regrow but for $20 and a huge pot, I’m enjoying this beauty while it lasts! It’s cheaper than a bouquet of flowers and definitely lasting longer! I plan to follow all your tips and tricks. 👍🏼
Hi Nick! Oh my, Muffin was definitely wanting her camera time and loves! She knows we all love seeing her. Your Stromanthe is looking so beautiful! Thanks to your tips, I'm going to watch for one and give it a try. I'm thinking of using a self watering pot for it when I find one. hank you so much for sharing!
My prayer plants love me.. not sure why, but I have had no trouble with any of them. I've noticed all my plants consume water at different rates, so I water according to their individual needs. I bottom water... It's humid here, so no humidifier needed. I use tap water.. and it's nasty, but they are fine. I do move them around from time to time, so they stay happy with the changing sunrays!
I love my triostar. When I got it I was apprehensive reading that it was a tricky plant to care for. It got mites once and I remedied that but other than the one occasion my triostar is doing really well. I think it's inevitable for them to get some browning even with a humidifier but once you're not too particular about that they're a real showstopper plant. :)
Everytime I buy a plant you seem to post a video on it and I'm happy about that.
I loved the Sweet Pea cameo!
muffin is a movie star, as soon he hears that the video is going on, he shows his little face, or tail ! beautiful plant, I just received a triostar (bare roots) I came here to have some advice about the potting soil, thanks Nick, I am never disappointed ....
The kitty cat 😺🤩
I'm from Brazil and have one of those, I love her she's so gorgeous 😍🥰
Thank you for sharing beautiful and amazing plant lovely
I have one of these and it is stunning. It looks like it was painted with streaks of red and white on the underside of the leaves.
hi sweet pea. i love how she steals the show. thank you for sharing.
I've been using the water from my aquarium to water my houseplants and it seems to be improving their growth and look
I love that kitty!!!
Your cat is adorable😍
My Trio Star is giving me issues at the moment. Also that shirt is beautiful. 💚
My Stromanthe "Triostar" (I have 2) love their shelf in the bathroom...South East facing, but the southern exposure is through a glass block window...so maybe filtered?? Anyway, no brown tips or edges. I water more than once a week, and just use tap water...I just think they acclimated to my house. Have had them exactly 1 year. Can't wait for next weeks plant of the week!
I love that cat 🐈⬛. We had one like that and she ran away and never came back 😢. Her name was Bagheera
Beautiful plant I wonder if I will manage to keep it in good condition, probably it will be my next to collection. Absolutely stunning leaves
These plants are total divas
We love the kitty
I can't put up with Marantaceae but I clicked anyway because there might be MUFFIN!
I'm Lucky with my calatheas and other prayer plants i have !
My triostar is thriving in my bathroom , it in a corner with a lot of difuse light because there is a south-west facing window.
I admit i'm not too bothered by brown tips, i mean i'm not looking for perfect plants so it's fine !
I think stromanthes and ctenanthes are the easiest prayer plants .
I rehomed my triostar last week, funny you should mention that lol. It was looking a bit rough with almost all older leaves with edges and ends browning. I had it for about 3 years, so it was a good try. I got tired of seeing the brown ends. The water where I live is delicious and clean from additives I think so it must be the natural mineral content in the water. I switched to giving it rain water or distilled last year but I haven't seen much improvement.
All in favor of more Sweet Pea, say “Aye”! 😹
I was just laughing when Muffin was blocking the plant..
Aquarium conditioner solved this problem for me! 😊 All of my plants had nasty burns before that.
The colors are amazing. I’ve been looking for one but still no luck.
Oh Muffin, we do love you.
Alas mine is looking rough this winter. It was pretty happy in the summer but woof, right now it’s crispy boy. Unfortunately I can’t have a humidifier where it is. Looking forward to the summer.
So pretty
Yay Muffin!!!💚😻💚
I kept all mine on a huge heat mat in the winter with a few water vessels & they thrive
Love everything on this video, including the gorgeous cat as well, like the owner. 😍
By any chance, can they be grown or kept in water only?
Nick do Miranta have the rhizomes as well? I have a green one that is not loving me and I thought about tossing it but if it has a rhizome I may wait it out! Great video.
Kitty!!! 😍😍😍
I have a couple of calatheas and a stromanthe and they all look okay-ish and put out new growth, I noticed there are tiny seedlings of those available in my local gardening shop and thought I could give them a try. Question is - are these more fragile than, say, Calathea Red Lipstick?
💚💚
Sorry Nick. I fell In love with them bought one into my home and it had thrips although I debug all plants I bring home. I didn’t see any thrips so after 2 weeks of isolation and my liquid mix, I thought I was good. I place it in my green house (I have a walk-in one in my apartment) all 4 of my prayer plants was invested with thrips. After 3 months of fighting I lost the battle. I could not irradiate them from the plants. I had to say goodbye to all of them.
I love your sweatshirt! Where did you get it?
💚
Thanks for sharing I have one that I repot and it just died off on me have it still hope come spring it will grow back bought another and it's ok think it's still getting used to its new home
i put mine hanging by the window, on some days it gets an hour or 2 with direct sunlight. I used distilled water. it's grown twice the size of your pot.
What should I do about the curled and crisp leaves that I’m sure got sunburnt and where do you cut the stem at the soil or where the leaf connects?
My Stromanthe MagicStar has been dying for months with leaves browning and rolling up. My other one is doing perfectly fine but the other one is giving me a headache. I took it out of soil 2 days ago and placed it in water and they are looking better. (they bearly have any leaves left tho...) No idea what mix should I pot them into. The other specimen loves the soil it has, but this one hated it, despite it being the same soil. Maybe I should pot them in pure pumice???
In Indonesia it is called meranti Bali
I love muffin!
Quick question. How do you keep your cat safe. I have lots of plants but with 3 kittens I worry they will be temped to eat the plants which are not sage for them
MUFFIN!! you are so beautiful!!!
Here, get a like for the cat special appearance!
Can fertilizer cause brown tips too? I use reverse osmosis water but I do have a few brown tips and I’m wondering if prayer plants are just really sensitive to fertilizer
Yes I have seen quite a few people say commercial grade or intense fertilizers caused some browning. Recommended to use diluted fish fertilizer for these guys, it's organic and mild. These plants are SO prone to brown tips though, so try switching ferts if you please, but it still may not fix the tips!
Sweet Pea stole the show. 🤣
I'll be more patient with my next red veined, prayer plant. 😕🙂
Oh maybe because I'm in Brazil, but mine just lives and grows and don't require much from me
Muffin knows she's the only star of the show
Did I miss the bit about the fertiliser ?
Where to buy?
Looks like my kitties
I'm sorry Nick and Triostar, Muffin kinda stole the show today.
Does this become a tree?
I'm sorry but prayer plants are one of the easiest plants to grow! Not sure why you think they are but many actual experts state how easy
Hi! I sent an email to your gmail account about a Tortum if you're interested, Kip
