    That snake plant is crazy! I never really wanted one before but, like you, I'm kind of tickled by its character. And now I kind of want one. I've been trying to get up the nerve to try ferns in leca. I know the transition will be hard but I feel like once it's there, semi hydro is going to be so good for this family of plants that can be so hard to keep properly hydrated indoors.

  • @gagacraft
    @gagacraft 3 роки тому +1

    I think I was also most shocked by the Whale Fin! I feel like we've all become complacent w/ this idea that snake plants don't grow very fast (mostly b/c they can tolerate low light), when they thrive so much more in stronger light. I've been experiencing more rapid growth from my good ol' trifasciata after moving it to brighter spot~

    • @kevin.
      @kevin.  3 роки тому +1

      RIGHT?! It's so interesting! They are such resilient plants you wouldn't know that they aren't happy in low light 😅

    I grow my whale fins in 100% coconut husks ( an advice from the nursery where I bought it) or 100% lechuna pon and they grow extremely well. No problem with overwatering because the water drained extremely well. I watered them once a week when the substrates are dry. Just for sharing.

    What products (product/ solution) do you use on your plants because boy, they all thriving under your care!

    • @kevin.
      @kevin.  3 роки тому +1

      I use the 3-part Flora Series by General Hydroponics. I currently follow the directions for "Mild vegetative growth" but if they are smaller plants, I usually dilute this 1/3 strength. I also use CalMag additive just because I'm told that in hydroponics, you tend to have calcium and magnesium deficiencies. I use "Diamond nectar by General Hydroponics" to stabilize my pH but also to help in nutrient availability. AND LASTLY, I use "RapidStart by General Hydroponics" for root growth. I hope this helps! Everyone's style is different though and I just find that this works for me.

    Can you do a plant tour or how you set up your plants in your house? Curious how’s your lighting system and if you use humidifier. Love your videos and started transitioning to Leca bec of you. More videos please. Thank you. 💕

    Actually, can use chunky soil and fertilizer. But result is slower growth and fungus gnats. Using mosquitoes bits, insecticide granules.
