  • G'day, you mob! In today's video I chop up a bunch of my variegated Monstera adansonii mother plants and try to set up a $5000 run on the aeroponics system. The plants include Monstera adansonii var. adansonii albo, var. Monkey Mask albo, var. Laniata ablo + mint.

    Check out my eBay store - www.ebay.com.au/usr/petevsplants
    We end up with about 60-70 cuttings in the aeroponics system. Hopefully they all survive and should root nicely within the next 2 months.

    Woot another aeroponics run! Can't wait to see a whole lot of vigorous rooting in the near future. 🐸🧦😜 Damn that Siltepecana is huge! *that's what she said* So many beautiful plants definitely worth making more of those. Loving this channel Pete keep up the good work.

    I tried propping Jade and a couple of other succulents really successfully in my 24 cell hydroponic set up (had a few spaces spare and wanted to experiment). The Jade had amazing super fine noodley white roots within a week. I bought the hydro prop because of your videos and I have had amazing results, I’m eyeing up plants to chop up for round three. Cheers Pete

      I think most succulent will root like crazy. Most of them propagate well in water anyway. But I think some cacti will fail but not all. Epiphytic cacti and fast growing dry forest cacti will root fine.

    Thanks Pete, it’s good to know about the black beneficial fungus. I would have assumed it was rot.
    Also, didn’t know that you can place pon over Lecca in your reservoir.
    Your cat is awesome!

    • @jacquelinedaniels87
      @jacquelinedaniels87 Рік тому +3

      Pon over leca is amazing if you don’t want the leca sopping wet-but it does raise ur water table so take that into consideration when potting but my preferred way is no drainage-one to two inches of leca and the rest pon and when I water never water/full reservoir past the leca. No idea why those are the rules in my head-but it works!!

    • @petevsplants7516
      @petevsplants7516  Рік тому +1

      Cheers, Michelle. Yeah, I've found there're a few different benefits to the leca. One, you're using less pon which is way more expensive (at least here). Two, you can add more water, which means you're watering less. Three, the roots often grow down into the leca and have more space down there to take hold and really start sucking up the water.

    Would you recommend keeping this system on say a sheltered deck that has A LOT of filtered sunlight rather than buying a grow light for it, at least while we're still getting this BONZA weather? Or would it be too hot (currently in the high 20s early 30s in Sydney) and would a grow light indoors be better? Also can't wait for the update vid on these cuttings, esp the ghostly ones 😆

    • @petevsplants7516

      I think it should be fine as long as it doesn't get direct sunlight and the wind doesn't blow the humidity dome off it. Should be fine.

      Hey mate, it's coming out in the next few days (I think). It's definitely scheduled to be out soon. I just use the standard nutrient solution I make up and probably dilute it down another to 25-50% strength of my already 50% (so I guess 12.5-25% total). I just pour in a 3L jug of my normal 50% strength solution into the reservoir to make sure there's a weak amount of nutes floating around in there.
