    This video was so good for answering questions about no drainage! I really loved seeing all the examples of air pockets, and getting to see what's going on below the surface in general. Those roots on your Hoya callystophylla and the philodendron you were repotting were beautiful--great examples of how happy your plants are. I'm rethinking so many aspects of how I maintain my plants now.

    • @unplantparenthood
      @unplantparenthood  2 роки тому +4

      I know no drainage potting isn't for everyone, but honestly I've had such a positive experience over the years, I just couldn't get over this narrative going around the plant community that your plants HAVE to have drainage to grow well. Like I always say, do what works for you! And part of the fun is experimenting. I hope you give it a try if you already haven't!

    • @single_use_planet_
      @single_use_planet_ Рік тому

      I wanna ask how you reuse everything? I guess separating the leca from pon isn't too hard but maybe getting all the moss off? Or do you just leave it and then boil the pon with some moss still in there? Been thinking of putting some moss at the top but I'm not sure how it will work to reuse it after

    It's so interesting to see everything being disproven that I was bombarded with at the beginning of my plant journey, I've always been an overwaterer and killed the 2 plants I had before by drowning them, once I stopped calling myself a plant killer I tried a bit harder without really knowing what I was doing but the plants seemed to like my little blobs of water almost daily, and then the plantok came, I bombarded myself with info on plantcare that was just telling me I was doing everything wrong and ever since then I have been struggeling HARD, my beautiful calathea died that was THRIVING before, pretty much all the 4 plants I had croaked terribly...
    I've been in the hobby seriously for a few months now and the amount of mistakes I have been able to learn from are impossible to count but are all important, many tries I was able to do and many fails, so many
    But, I think I'm starting to get a a foot on the ground finally
    I feel like a lot of plant people take things extremely serious and by a book, "you're not allowed to do this or that" and I just love that it does jyst not fucking matter, plants are living things, they'll like a situation or they won't, saying plants would never like no drainage is like saying all dogs hate cats, just untrue, I love that you even have cacti in no drainage, and soil as well, I've gone back to watering my small amount of soil plants the same way I used to with the small difference of adding some fertilizer finally lol, and all my more valuable plants are in pon perlite with leca at the bottom so I can see a clear reservoir to help me not overwater
    I've had a lot of rot from straight up perlite and soil, so far pon is doing the best and I'll def mix in some leca for air pockets
    I just wanna say thank you for giving me back the relaxed plant energy I lost for a bit there, I think my plants can feel the energy and they are doing a lot better now

    I learned SO MUCH from you in this video. I want to try this no drainage hole type of system. I have one Hoya in LECA that I bought frin someone. I have been trying to figure it out. I guess it’s still alive, so I think I’ve been doing it right. But, I just bought some PON and I’m going to be repotting some plants tomorrow and might try to use some. I’m a little worried how their roots will take it, but I guess we’ll see. Thank you again. I watched till the very end! You put things together very smoothly and everything made total sense.

    I've gone no drainage with a few plants. Because of you! When I began with plants I killed a few with no drainage so I got scared and quit doing it. Now that I'm more seasoned I can do it. I agree that alocasia are great with no drainage! My Scalprum is one of my top ones too🥰

    • @unplantparenthood
      @unplantparenthood  2 роки тому +2

      Just takes a little trial and error right?! I definitely had my streak of killing plants when I first started out too, but I feel like growing with no drainage makes you really understand your plants in a totally different way, and once you get it figured out it becomes like second nature. I'm glad you gave it another chance!

    So I just wanted to say, thank you for talking about no drainage! I am currently testing it out on some plants that I would be ok if I just kill and honestly I am loving it. I trying to understand the best way to do a parfait in no drainage. Right now I am doing leca, pon, then soil. I just have noticed that the pon will slowly fall down into the leca. I might be misunderstanding the method. I was wondering if you would be willing to talk about that a little bit more.

    • @unplantparenthood
      @unplantparenthood  2 роки тому +3

      I’m so happy you’re trying no drainage! You typically will want to use the heaviest substrate at the bottom to avoid that problem. So I would substitute Pon for coarse perlite, and that way it won’t sink to the bottom. I actually created my first parfait based on the needs of one plant I was having issues with. The roots were good, so I wanted to continue rooting in LECA, but the stem kept rotting so I opted for perlite since it’s porous and aerated, and then moss at the top to trap in humidity inside the vessel as well as continue rooting along the top of the stem. So the amendments of choice are usually based on the properties of each substrate and what I need them to do for a particular plant.
      I hope that helps a bit!

    Thanks Charmaine for a detailed video on no drainage potting. It’s very helpful. I have a couple of questions. I’m struggling a little with storing my soil.

Also, what systemic product are you using in this video to deter pests? TIA 😊

    Stupid question. I watched a few tones and it circles. When LECA is on bottom. Which I always. But the LECA is a booster for the plant and substrate. The roots sit on TOP not embedded. They will work down into the LECA but not planted IN it. You? Is the LECA part of where you plant the roots. Or as a bottom reservoir

    • @unplantparenthood

      If I'm seeing really robust growth, I'll usually mix fertilizers! Or if I'm noticing deficiency signs in certain plants, I'll use fertilizers to counteract it just depending on nutrient content in each fertilizer. But when I fertilize in no drainage, I always use it at a quarter strength so my fertilizers have lasted SO much longer. I also foliar feed about 1-2x a week, but also at a quarter to half strength. Fertilizers are sooo expensive 🥲🥲🥲🥲

    I just bought my first two philodendron plants to give it ago. Pink Princess and the Tortum. What do you recommend mix for them to grow good. At the moment i have it in an airy chunky mix cactus and succulent soil, orchard bark, perlite, active charcoal and some lecca. I really want to keep this species alive. Alocasia plants i think they hate me i had the dragon scale, the Polly and the Zebrina. I just gave up on this species leaves just keep dropping. Lecca these are used at the bottom of the pots if you don’t have drainage holes i was told. Also i put some on the top so water dries quicker with my soil and keeping away fungas gnats. Can you just grow plants with just lecca and grow your roots quicker?

    I'm SO siked you've done these comprehensive no drainage videos! After you first one came out I finally felt like I had enough info to really give it a shot! Just starting with plants that are a bit more common..QUESTION- when you go to re-pot a plant that you have a chunky soil mix with leca at the bottom, have you found that you need to keep leca at the bottom of the new pot at that point? I wasn't sure if the roots down there were now "leca" roots or is it not a big deal? I hope that made sense😆💚💚

    • @unplantparenthood
      @unplantparenthood  2 роки тому

      I usually try to replicate the same substrate I had it in when I repot! The LECA roots will be a bit more sensitive than the soil roots, but I've also done the transition to soil from mixes like that without any issues. :) You can do it!! And please let me know how it works for you!

      @@unplantparenthood definitely! I actually just put some little alocasia sarian babies (that grew from corms in sphag) in a jar with pon, perlite and orchiada. I had already prepared that mix for some hoyas (which are LOVING it, so thanks for sharing that recipe💚) so I just used the rest for the alocasia! I'm saving the little bit of leca I have for whatever I decide to put in a soil mix. Hopefully the alocasia do better for me in a more semi-hydro type of set-up😅🤞
