This video is helpful and It’s why I am subscribing! I’m pretty new to plants and In the last 3 months I went from like 15 plants to over 60😬. So I’m excited to binge your videos to help me learn!
@@Lilyplanted I’m amazed you could understand my comment with all those typos- I was just reading it back and wondering if I was jogging while typing it or something! I appreciate you replying!🙏🏻
Hey Lily, I am a new subscriber and have been binging your videos the past few days. I'd been thinking about your no drainage plants since I saw your plant tour and then you posted this so it was perfect timing haha. Is the standard no drainage "recipe" leca at the bottom, perlite/pumice and soil? Is there a particular order you add these into the vessel before placing the plant in? Also, do you cold turkey transition your plants to this out of soil, assuming that you just picked up a plant from the nursery/new propagation? Thanks!!
Usually with pon plants I’ll just put the leca at the bottom and a little pon layer then the plant then just back fill with soil plants I tend to put the leca then perlite to fill in the gaps then small amount of soil then the plant then back fill. Usually I find I can go pretty in and out of no drainage there isn’t really a transition period unless I’m moving from soil to pon. I’ll usually transition from soil to pon by putting the plant in water for a couple of weeks it’s what I did with my frydek. I’ve also transitioned by just chopping the whole thing back like with my tradescantia I just chopped the whole thing back and rerooted, I only felt comfortable doing this because I know they root up easily I haven’t done it with any other plant. With new plants I’ll usually leave them in drainage until I have gotten a grasp of what the plant likes it’s what I did with my sugar vine. It did take me a while to completely get comfortable with soil in no drainage, I’ve caused plenty of root rot because of not completely understanding how my conditions play a role. Hope this helps!
I’ve been experimenting with no drainage for over a year and I love it so much. Thanks for putting this video out. I feel like people are missing out. Maybe content like this can open up people’s minds. I love the look, visibility and more importantly- no more dirty saucers. I use cylinder shaped vessels for the ease of repotting and because it’s easy to place them in cover pots but I love the unique shapes of your vessels.
I’d just fill up about a third of the vessel with the diluted hydrogen peroxide water and swirl it around until you notice the algea going away and then tilt the vessel to get the water out
gotta take a shot whenever you say "i'm an over waterer"

The moment I saw that fern at 13:50 your credibility as a plant owner skyrocket to me. XD I've never been able to keep that plant alive.
Omg over-waterer in hopes semi-hydro and no drainage can be the answer. SUBBED
Always have Leca at the bottom.
Nice video
Thanks

@@Lilyplanted This helps so much. Thanks for taking the time to reply 😄
No problem!

This warms my heart :’). Yeah I probably should’ve mentioned that actually now that I think of it lol
😍🥳
how do you get rid of the algae with those plants ? thanks
You can use hydrogen peroxide diluted down to manage it.
@@Lilyplanted thank you but how please ?
