I’m exactly the same way about watering, I mean I’ve killed a snake plant and pothos from underwatering 🙈🙊 Also try stratum! It’s so good for rehabbing plants and rooting them even if they are bare root. And about fertilizing, I fertilize all year round and plants continue to grow even in the winter. I love your African violet too! So beautiful!!!! 💕🪴
Switching from leca to soil can be tough on any plant. If you do, I would definitely go up a pot size and make sure there's enough amendments that there's good air flow to the roots. But leca roots are used to having access to moisture all the time, so you usually need to water more often when you switch them over to soil.
Hey I remember the first video! 😊 what’s your trick to keeping your peperomia hope alive? I manage to dry rot and then unalive each one I own and I absolutely love P. Hope 😔
My watering routine is I check with my finger and I’ll put it at least a inch in and if it’s slightly damp I’ll skip a watering and I also check to see how heavy the nursery pot is , I never leave it in its cover pot with water ,I water on a rack thoroughly and then squeeze the remainder and then place it back in, that might be a lot but I only do that for a few plants so I don’t mind it. I also never wet the actual plant base just the soil itself I’ve noticed since the texture of the plant is different it tends to cause mold so I avoid that . I hope this can help you own one because i absolutely love mine 🥰
I feel holiday cactus tend to get root rot/dry rot very easily. I would definitely check out the roots and remove any sus ones. I water mine about once a month. It's planted in a terracotta pot. 😊🪴
Hmmm I will definitely check for possible dry rot , I think if anything I under watered and it is in a plastic nursery pot with a few drainage holes that has been kept outdoors over spring/summer but the longest without watering would be MAYBE 3 weeks no longer . Thankyou for the advice ! 🤍
