    This unlocked a memory in my head. Back in the day some kid in my school watered a plant with milk once as a prank. It was last few weeks of school. The stench of milk rotting in the summer heat was unbearable. Someone threw up during the class.
    Milk and potting soil might as well be poison lol.

    As always a great video. I make yogurt, which leaves behind wey, I dilute this way approximately 1/10 water and use it as a fertiliser, but I don't administer it at every watering. I have found this to be beneficial, particularly for a reluctant to flower Peace Lilly. After a few weeks of just one dose of my wey solution, flowers began to develop and the plant flowers generously now. I didn't experience any bugs or fowel smells. Perhaps it was the dilution, perhaps it was the wey rather than the full monty of milk, I actually don't know the answer, I can only convey my experience with diluted wey from yogurt making

    I think diluting the milk or yogurt further and giving it once in a while might help like it did after your first application.. it did help in the growth of new shoots.. and then maybe if you had stopped the plant roots wouldn't rot. Just my thought watching this experiment.. 😊

    Milk if devoid of fat could be a very good all purpose organic liquid fertilizer. NPK is around 0.5

    • @sza2bom
      @sza2bom 9 місяців тому +2

      NPK 0.5:0.15:0.15 or so. Fat is not healthy for soil and roots so if you have that in, you should only use as a foliar feed (stinks a bit though). it is advised to reduce fat content if non-fat milk is not available by diluting with water. If you want low risk reduce fat content to well below 0.5% - so maybe use 1:5 ratio with a 1.5% fat milk.

The chlorine in the tap water can kill beneficial bacteria. If I am forced to use tap water, I must let the chlorine blow off for about 3 hours. My water is very, very hard....278 ppm./mg/L or 16/3 grains/gallon. So I use RO water. THANKS. PS The white cover should be on BOTH plants....you have introduced a new variable!

    dont worry too much about the rotted off roots. i got a pachira as a gift, immediately repotted it and had zero roots to start, they had all rotted off. but the pachira has a lightly bulby stem which acts as a water reservoir. so they can go without regular watering (or roots) for a little while they produce new roots. they did look a bit sad, i separated mine, and one of them had only one leaf for like 6 months, but they are now all happy and leafy. not as bushy as yours, since its single stems, but still very pretty.
