The tone she talks in is annoying and putting me to sleep.
Hi Bunnie, then by all means, PLEASE feel no obligation to spend time in your life you’ll never get back watching another second
I would be delighted to see an anthurium collection video! Yes please!
That’s so interesting about the AOS !! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, plant queen 🤓🖤
Of course and FYI, I have no problem being called Plant Queen!!!
Thanks for sharing everything you're learning along the way! It's been SO helpful for me as I'm just starting to get into more rare plants AND experimenting with pon and other soilless mixes! I'm 35, so I grew up without social media and for a few different reasons just never got into it ( which may change in the future), but because of that I just don't have a lot of other super planty friends or mentors around me to learn from😕 Channels like this one that are more informative have been a god send over the last few years! Id just be wandering around clueless without it!😂 💚
Yes, she does a great job of sharing good knowledge and experiences. As you start exploring, you’ll see how many plant channels veer more into being about the person than the plants and there are also so so many people that give often dangerously bad advice based on minimal experience. So it takes quite some time to filter out useful information. I’ve made the mistake of going against what I’ve known for decades because some clueless person recommended it and made me start questioning my ways and ended up almost killing plants I’ve had for over a decade. So it’s good you found this channel early in your plant journey 🙂
It’s no trouble, Lauren! I’m 33 and social media wasn’t a thing until I got to college for the most part. I’ve had a lot of really kind people help me out on my journey too so I’m trying to pay it forward! Don’t hesitate to ask me questions! I try to respond to as many as possible ❤️❤️
I’m not immune to giving bad advice but I do try to check myself when people tell me that I’m wrong at least!
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet Sure, no one is immune to making mistakes, but there's a big difference between highlighting that something worked for you in your environment, based on your experiences, and adding lots of caveats and specific details in how you present the information. E.g. there is a difference between people saying things like "in the winter your conditions change so you may need to adjust watering - sometimes that means more frequent and sometimes less frequent watering and here's how you figure that out..." vs. "Stop killing your plants in the winter! They barely need water and this is the biggest killer of houseplants!" without any details on how to understand your plants' individual watering needs. Clickbait and sensationalism have been trumping experiential knowledge in social media, so it's good to give credit where credit's due.
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet what aniliname said!👌couldn't have said it better myself!
The lechuza pots with the weird wick on a stick are meant for a completely different setup. They suggest (although I'm really not a fan of this setup at all) for people who want to keep their plants in soil, to just plop the whole root ball, soil and all, onto a base layer of pon. That way it'll wick up moisture without making it too soggy. I've also heard a lot of people just use it with soil and no pon. I've heard a lot of people at garden centers here in Europe claiming that the lechuza system should be used with soil and not just pon on its own. But all the plant nerds I know use it pon on its own with great results. So that's why the pots are often lacking in some ways. I usually just make my own diy pots with clear orchid pots, nylon wicks, pon, and glass vases/vessels. I find it works best and the top centimeter or so stays dry so I don't have that issue with the cataphylls rotting. Also I have the impression that when the inner pot is submerged in water it forces minerals up to the top layer more aggressively through that pressure and creates a weird concentrated crystalline mineral layer that can actually burn aerial roots etc. and that's harder to flush out. I also find that's the cheapest, easiest to monitor the roots, and looks best in my opinion since I have more options for aesthetics. I'm sure there are other great self-watering pots out there but I haven't really found any I'm happy with and they're just so expensive if you have a lot of plants.
I hate the wick on a stick pots. I’ve used them with soil and gotten very poor results.
You’re killing it girly! I’m so proud of you! Yasssss
❤️❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much Meghan! 😘
Great repotting video, Daralynn! 👍🏾
Beautiful plants! Yes I'd love to see your anthurium collection 💚 my crystallinum just gave me a new leaf and its massive, I'm so happy 🥰
Yayyyyyy!!! If you post it on Instagram use the hashtag #plantfrienddownthestreet so I can seeeeeee it ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good luck with the new job!
Thanks, so far so good!
Fun fact, I'm literally sitting here watching this video while chopping up a big beautiful monstera albo because of a crappy experience with dirty pon. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the stuff and recommend it to people *all the time* and almost all my plants have been converted to pon (succulents without self-watering included and they love it), but back when I started there was no information online and since I started with it as a regular substrate that I top watered without a self-watering setup, I assumed the dust would work its way out eventually. Months later, literally each plant I had in dirty pon started to look like they had a bacterial infection, yellow leaf spots and leaf edges etc., all at the same time. Once I realized what they had in common and switched them to clean pon, they bounced back quickly. I postponed repotting my big monstera since it was such a big project, but now I see that the dirty pon sort of created a concentration of mineral crystals, almost like petrified wood, that couldn't be flushed out because the dust clogged all the air pockets in the pon. So the main aerial root that rooted in the pon had hardened and was almost "crystalline" and just "shattered" when it bent the tiniest bit. So now I'm chopping up this big beauty, which I really didn't want to do, to save it after this mess. Another fun fact: I found this as a young plant with minor variegation at a garden center, and as it's grown into this massive beast the variegation has increased significantly, so it's particularly special to me. So clean your pon really really well folks!
Omg, CEMENT!!!!
I’m so sorry that happened. I’m actually needing to prune and combine some albos too so I know the albo procrastination is real! I don’t want to cut them up but I know the result will be better in the long run if I do! They’re not in pon though.
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet Good luck!
I’d love to see a pon collection video.
Beautiful plants!
I don't think Tezula has released any AoS lately. There has been a bunch of people selling dark form cuttings lately but that's it. I was lucky to find a small offset locally for not much! Oh and someone from EU is selling a bigger plant for 2.2k Euros!
Yeah! The last time I saw a AOS restock from them was about a year ago.
"You should REALLY flush perlite..." me not knowing that was a thing 😬
Hahahahahaha I learned it the hard way when my plants started getting edema from soil compaction!
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet Ooohh. I just hope you didn't lose a lot of money on them.
@@dsepisodes thankfully no, this was years ago and it was only a few leaves on each plant. All the plants survived but the big melano leaves were super tragic to see decline.
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet Thank god they survived but poor melano 🥲
Great video! The anthurium longissimilobum is definitely on my wishlist, the new leaf on yours is so pretty! I want to try switching my anthuriums over to pon, and was curious what self watering pots you use?
I took down the links to the pots because I don’t want to support Amazon but everyone keeps asking me so I guess I’ll just link them in the description box 🤣🤣
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet Thanks so much. I totally get not wanting to support Amazon. Anyway, I appreciate the great planty content, you've quickly become one my favorite youtube channels!
@@quinnbeagle8487 thank you so much, that feels amazing to hear! They’re linked in some of my older videos but I’ll try and to remember to add them here tomorrow when I’m on my computer again ❤️
lechuza don't recommend that you wash their pon before use, and they also say to not flush it right after a repot. So that might be part of the reason that people are reluctant to do that. I think they recommend flushing and also cleaning the self watering pot once a month.
Yeah I’m going to have to disagree with them on this one. The amount of dust and grit that comes off of the pon that collects in the reservoir is not what I want in my water. Plus flushing or watering any newly potted plant helps fill in air pockets… that direction may be due to their attempt to make pon as easy as possible and that it’s not necessary to fully clean the roots off because if the pon is wet and the roots are dirty, there may be a higher chance of rot. I’ve been doing it this way for a year and had good results so I think I’m going to stick with what’s working for me, but alwayssss good to consider both sides. Thanks!
I commented above on some of lechuza's odd recommendations in general. I think they created a fantastic product but their tips for use and many of their pots are ridiculous. The "true" lechuza system is supposed to be combined with soil. In my opinion, that's great for wicking moisture for self-watering but you in fact gain none of the wonderful benefits of the pon itself. Maybe in that system it doesn't matter if the pon is dirty. Anyway, I learned the hard way that if you use straight pon you really have to rinse pon very very well. I wouldn't even say "rinse", I've say properly wash it before use. I had a number of plants that I just rinsed a bit when potting up and assumed the residue would work its way out eventually. After 6 months all of those plants (from when I first started with pon) started having spots on their leaves and declining. I repotted them in clean pon and they bounced back fine. All the plants I've potted in clean pon have never had any similar issues. And when you do clean the pon, I've noticed that you end up with something like a 1-2cm layer of cement-like sludge that runs out for the amount of pon of one 12cm pot. So I always clean it over a bucket and dump it outside so it doesn't destroy my plumbing. It's ridiculous. I wish it came pre-washed, but from *a lot* of experience, I'd say it's very necessary. The oxygen and water-retention simply cannot be optimal if the pores in the stones are clogged.
@@aniliname very eloquently put!!! This, 100%
Oh hell no. Pon definitely needs to be washed very well. That stuff is full of dust, it's actually crazy how dirty it is.
@@variegated_stingray hehehehe this is one time when not reading the directions worked in my favor!
I’ve had a big bag of lechuza pon sitting in my closet for a long time, I just can’t get myself to try it. I was excited at one point and time, but trying to figure out how to water with it, freaks me out lol so I’ve never opened the bag to try….
Try it with something where there’s less pressure like just some pothos cuttings.
I don't know which chonk is bigger, the metallicum or Ralphie! I really want to try PON but I'm nervous and I really don't even know why!
Ralphie is such a chonk! Especially when he was still smol like this. He’s a whole ass dog now.
Pon is awesome! Just try it with something you’re not super attached to first and see how it goes. The one thing that sucks though is that it is hard to get. It’s always sold out.
Yes, please collection videos. How do you know who needs more airflow? Graduation Day!🤩😍. Congratulations 🎉 on your new job. Hi Ralphie, you big beautiful boy😘😘😘😘😘💓. Thank you for this video 💓.
I just assume everything except my anthurium splendidum needs lots of airflow, haha! Idk, when I don’t know what to do with a plant I have one plant fairy godmother I ask. Or I wait until I’m going to a pop up and ask Ivan 🤣🤣
I have a crystalinum I bought and it has a TON of roots, but it's in moss. Would it be safe to put into leca or no since it has those type of roots? Just seeking advice as I'm thinking of switching some of my plants to leca. Also, I was so confused yesterday. I thought it was Friday and wondering where a video was lol but here we are today. And yes I'd love an anthurium video!
I don’t think that’s a good idea. Usually with Leca you have to have water roots first plus Chrystallinum like to dry out between waterings and that doesn’t work as well with LECA. I’ve struggled with Chrystallinum in the past and I’m finally getting good results keeping one in moss so I think I’m going to leave it be. I’m sure it’s possible to keep chrystallinum in Leca but I think the best way would probably be to either root it in LECA from the start or allow aerial roots to grow down into it. Hope that helps!
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet thank you for that☺️ I will just keep an eye on the moss, I thought it was too much, but maybe not.
@@neubies3 if you want to try semi hydro, my black Chrystallinum is doing amazing in Lechuza pon. I show it in the grow tent video if you haven’t seen that one!
@@PlantFriendDownTheStreet I may try that. I have a small plant in lechuza. Maybe I'll find a baby to test it on. I think I watched the video recently, but I may have to go back a watch it again.
@@neubies3 I don’t find that babies do well in Lechuza pon. I root them in moss first and then transfer them once they’re nice and established.
hello! could someone let me knwo the name of the spiritus Sancti alike anthurium Please, i cant get the name 😅
anthurium Longissimilobum ❤️
Wait, why were you contemplating to "save" the "real" lechuza pon? I mean, diy or "real", it's literally the same thing. The only thing "real" lechuza pon has is a fertilizer, other than that it's literally just zeolite, lava rock and pumice.
It’s not at all the same thing. The grit in the real Lechuza pon is really fine and all of the pebbles are uniform in size. The DIY stuff I have at least has much bigger pebbles and lots of different sizes. I’m also don’t think my proportions of pumice to zeolite to lava rock are the same as the real pon. The diy stuff I have doesn’t work as well on smaller plants. It’s definitely possible to imitate it better than I have but my DIY mix is definitely inferior!
I’ve had the same experience. I found cheaper “generic pon” in a store in Europe and it’s hard to explain but it legitimately retains water differently and seems to be more airy because of the different sizes. That might also be from the proportions of the lava rock to zeolite. But after buying a giant bag of it and even trying to mix the two for a while, I’ve noticed that the ones in pure lechuza pon performed much better and have been abandoning the other stuff 🤷🏻♀️
