    Is all the components washed first (Leca, spag moss)? I saw your video where you boiled the spag and your Leca. Just got to the part you rinse your perlite. So, this mixture you use for everything but begonias. The glass vase type repot. Does the Leca at the bottom help from overwatering?

    • @unplantparenthood
      @unplantparenthood  3 роки тому +1

      Yes- all of the ingredients are prewashed and prepped beforehand! LECA is thoroughly rinsed of dust, spag moss is sterilized by boiling, and the perlite is sifted and rinsed. I use this mix for begonias, but I add a lot more potting soil and worm castings since I find them to be pretty thirsty plants and heavy feeders. I add LECA at the bottom of glass vases because it naturally wicks water upward into the soil, and also prevents plant roots from sitting in a pool of water. :)

    • @unplantparenthood
      @unplantparenthood  3 роки тому +1

      I actually talked about the sustainability issue of sphagnum moss a bit in my sphagnum moss video. And I also did a segment on how to keep reusing it so that you don’t need to keep re-buying. I also did a propagations video so you can see what other substrates I use to propagate and grow in besides sphagnum moss. :) Sphagnum peat moss (which is decomposed sphagnum moss) is the substrate that is highly unsustainable, and unfortunately most soil mixes contain it. I think the only way to avoid this completely is to grow purely in semi-hydro.
