    Could you do a video on suggested type of plants for types of pots...for example, a ceramic pot vs terracotta...if certain plants do with in one vs other.

    I thought your tutorial was very informative, thank you. Now I'm going to the kitchen and replant my babies. Again, thank you so much for this video. I'm thinking of making videos on how I love my indoor garden. I notice people love cute puppies, cats, and plants. I love them too!

    I didn’t see a comment saying this but with bonsai we use a chop stick or something like that to make sure the soil packs in well.
    Awesome videos!

    • @PlantsandLucia
      @PlantsandLucia 5 років тому +1

      Yes!!! Watering is super important I think and sometimes difficult to know when! One thing that I love about taking care of my plants is that they teach us to follow our senses :) for me, my favorite way to check is to touch the soil and go two knuckles down.. If the soil feels dry it is usually good to water :)
      Hope this is helpful!

    • @kenmoreSF
      @kenmoreSF 2 роки тому

      One of the biggest mistakes people make is overwatering their house plants. House plants love to be deep watered and then leave it alone until all water consumed by the plants. How long depends on the size of the plant or the environment of the surrounding. One of the tools that will help you to know when to water is using a moisture gauge. It's like a thermometer but it measures the moisture condition of the soil.

    • @HarliG
      @HarliG  2 роки тому

      It kind of depends really, but this is just a general rule of thumb. Mostly because substrate in a large pot holds on to more moisture & can cause root rot in small plants.

      It’s always necessary to avoid water collecting in the soil and the roots rotting. So always choose an inner pot with holes for an outer pot without or simply pick an outer pot with holes and use a little pot dish underneath 😉 hope this helps

    It might sound sillly, but would you try to repot it in a bigger nursery pot? And then place it in your terra cotta? I’m new to plants, and I think it would be easier for transferring plants in the future and also If your pot doesn’t have a drainage hole.

    Quick question, do you need to break up the soil when moving the plant from the nursery pot to the newer pot if you are transferring it to a same size pot? Or is it only necessary to loosen soil when you are transferring to a larger pot and adding more soil?

  • @kevinpatrick4408
    @kevinpatrick4408 5 років тому +1

    I always thought that breaking up the soil (after removing it from original pot) would damage the roots. No? I'm watching this because I plan on repotting my plant in a few days and I want to make sure I do everything right so I don't kill my plant.

    • @carelesswhisper1148
      @carelesswhisper1148 2 роки тому

      Don't remove the original soil it came with because this will shock your plant and may not survive, just loosen the soil a little and maybe remove the bottem part of the soil if you see it too clumped up

    • @OrphanCrippler1
      @OrphanCrippler1 4 роки тому

      You should always choose a pot with holes in the bottom. If your pot doesn't have holes, you can buy a diamond tip hoke saw from a hardware store and drill them yourself.
      Another method that works is putting duct-tape over the area you want to drill a hole in (in an X like a pirate map so you have two layers of tape), and then you can drill the hole with a normal drill bit
