    This is an addendum to my comment 2days ago, thank you for answering my question…I failed to mention I had called Roberta’s and spoke with a rep. I had started the plant ,Totem Pole in the water and after 4pm the I planted into soil. Within 1mon. One large sprout of leaves became limp. The c.s told me to set it back into the water….all is good now but rootless. Today I see a few white, not bugs rice length…maybe the roots are finally pushing through 1 third the way up the log… I will be repotting the plant as per your answer 2days ago. Thanx again Debra😄

    Hello again, so far my totem pole plant is living, the pot is just right, 6”and I mixed the cactus palm and citrus potting mix with some more perlite for drainage, funny how the perlite floats to the top of the soil. The leaves are growing looking good and I am using your Hawaiian flower magic. I have mixed as required on the bottle(8 drops in quart of water). Don’t know if the roots have grown on the bottom of the plant yet. Wish I can send a pix but thanks again and re watch your planting video.

My windows are low-e glass and my plant is in a bright spot, receiving good indirect light. Is it because it still doesn't have enough light or could be another reason? 🤔

Doesnt takenthat ling either maybe 5years before it needs to be cut the next time 🤔 I inherited it from my mom a coupleof years ago and this time when i cut it i saved the whole stem and just cut it to pieces and stuck it down in the soil.

    I got a cutting from QVC after hearing you mention them in a video, I believe in January '22. The directions included with it stated to remove it from water after 6 weeks whether it had roots or leaves or not. Mine did not but I placed it in a 6 inch pot & put it in a bright but indirect spot in a south window as per directions. It has got some protrusions at various spots around the top to mid cutting & some very slight vertical cracks at those points but no green showing. There is still some "sap" (?) dripping from the top which I'm hoping means the cutting is still viable. Is this just a matter of being patient or do I have a dead stump? Thanks for all your great content & enthusiasm!

    • @plantvibrations
      @plantvibrations  2 роки тому +3

      hi! the sap coming from the top is good, means it is healthy and alive. with the warm weather, id recommend placing it outside in a place that is mostly shaded. maybe 1-2 hours of sunlight in the morning, but no direct hot sun. that combined with the warm weather will definitely get it kickstarted to grow!

    I have one that's about 4ft tall (was bought that large). Unfortunately, it had two stalks in the pot and one of them died. I've had it for around a year and a half and it has spent two summers outside. However, its growth has been minimal (in fact, some of the shoots have died off). I've unpotted it twice (around a year apart) and the root system is very small...to the point that it's top heavy and will fall over if it doesn't have something to lean on (don't ask me how I know, ugh). How can I get it to grow stronger, deeper roots and push out more growth?

      the only way for them to grow thicker is over time, and lots of it. consistently chopping it back to encourage it to become thicker is what you need to do. if it looks like they will disrupt each others growth you can snub one of the buds out, just take you thumb and literally rub it off. absolutely no harm in doing so

    i have my oriental totem pole from qvc for 2 or 3 years now. completed the soaking process initially. been in a 6 inch pot for years. i have no more than tiny nubs of green that are around the trunk. no leaves have ever come out. i re-potted last week, still no roots. is this a bust? or is there something I can do to facilitate growth. not ready to give up just yet unless my efforts are futile.

      hi marcy. id recommend placing back in the water until you find it growing roots. the other way to facilitate growth is to place it outside in the summer. that will greatly kickstart growth

    Mine was doing well in soil for over a year, and recently two of the stalks that already have several leaves on them turned brown and started to droop. The soil may have gotten too dry. I'm wondering if I should prop them up, or cut them off?

      If they look dried out and dying best to remove and compost them

    Purchased a Good Luck Oriental Totem Pole ( Dracaena fragrans ) Kept it in water for 8 weeks and it grew nice leaves.
    After 8 weeks 4/22/2022 I transferred it to soil in a 6” pot. Since April the same leaves remain but
    there is no new growth. I thought maybe the pot was too small so it transferred it to a 10” pot.
    During the transfer when I removed the pole from the old soil I noticed there were no roots on the log.
    Should I leave the pole in the new pot and soil or should I remove it and place it in water to see if it grows roots?

    Thank you for such a great video! I took a corn plant from a person who hasn’t watered it for 4 months, and it stood in the dark. I had to cut off a lot of the leaves. I took better care but not as well as I should have. I had to cut off more leaves. I looked and the small new leaves on the inside (which are just coming out) are also brown. Is this plant done or is there still a chance I can save it? Thank you ahead of time for your reply :)
    I am back! Nevermind about my comment. I just cut a part of the plant where the leaves grow and it’s all cracked and dry. Pulled the stem and it came out quickly out of the soil. Threw it out. I have learned a lesson from such an experience. Love your plants and take care of them.
    Thank you anyways!
