    Once again a great video. Sooo entertaining. You could be in Vegas. I usually do my 120 plants in one day. I am now learning to do it over a few days. It is winter here in MA, USA and I have grow lights going which makes a once a week watering now a twice a week. All of my plants are on self watering or I would never be able to keep up. I do think you do a great job of trellising. Thanks for making a gray depressing day much nicer.

    • @BasiePlants
      @BasiePlants  Рік тому

      Selfwatering pots do make it so much easier. I don't have a lot of them, but I will try to invest this year more into selfwatering pots instead of so many plants xD It's really hard to keep up otherwise. I am glad I gave up on terracotta pots. It would be impossible to keep up.

    This was very satisfying, yes to underwatering, yes to fumble fingers days, and yes to uncooperative plant clips…Miro tries like Judi tries ! Some days are better than others…Ok, the plant light over your right shoulder aimed at the blank wall led to much speculation. Testing out reflective light theories? Not spoken off new collection of invisible plants?
    🪴The first floor windows are a bit nerve wracking, tempting voyeurs especially at night. Would lightly frosted contact paper be an option? Thank you for sharing though. I do really like your trellises, but I use butterfly clips because my hands are too dumbly to fiddle with pieces of Velcro. Always be well, Miro! 🤗🌿

    • @BasiePlants
      @BasiePlants  Рік тому +1

      She likes to be watered more frequently. Depending on what location it is from, she may want more humidity. The easiest ones to grow are those from Sumatra and those that were formerly called aff. caudata. Try a self-watering pot and increasing humidity.

    • @cathijones3924
      @cathijones3924 Рік тому

      Thank you! I will move it to a self watering pot. So many people who grow Hoyas recommend not overing watering but a local nursery near me keeps all the ones they sell in wet soil and the plants are thriving.
