@@cindyjohnsen326 CINDY!!!! Yay!!! The poster child says thank you. 😊. Always great to hear from you. Def 🤞🏼 for your safe travels. Keep me posted on how things go. Hoping for a smooth transition. 😃😃😃

@@ericab936 hey there Erica. Yes, I do have some plants still in soil. Just not my preference (over/under watering, fungus gnats, mold, etc.). There are a lot of plants that do really well in water. I used to think you just put them in water and that’s it. But maintenance is important like anything else. So happy you’re here!!!! Welcome!!!🤗

@@paultheplantparent2702 👍🏾

@@DoctorDerpman woooooo!!!! Haha thank you so much. Plants can be fun, right???? 😃👍🏼🪴

@@mdt6176 Thank you so much!!! Hoorraaayyyyy!!!! Do you have any plants in water? Really appreciate you watching. 😃😃😃

@@chantaldelariv2922 Bonjour!!! So great to speak with you!!! Thank you so much for watching. 😃😃😃

@@deb.m.7458 Deb, you’re the best!!!! People like you make it worth every second. Plant ppl rock!!!! 😃😃😃👍🏼❤️🪴

@@RonBruce-x3f they almost look like a combo. They have exposure to air and water. So not fully water roots. Tysm for watching. 😃

@@cindyjohnsen326 hoorraaaayyyy! Mine would always bloom with a lot of light. Maybe move to a less bright area? They’re so easy in water. 😃👍🏼🪴

@@paultheplantparent2702 I have a very big bright grow light that reaches everyone!!! L0L I can only put them in certain areas that are cat proofed. Or my kitties will eat everyone. 🤦 But I was just thinking that if I cover the skylight in the shower that would take a lot of light off Violet. Maybe I'll try that. Thank you my friend!!!

@@cindyjohnsen326 😃😃😃. You’re the best!!!! Hoping we get done more leaves dnd let her breathe for a few!!!! You doin good otherwise?

I meant all your plants 🪴 🌿 🪴 🌿 🪴

@@mdt6176 hello there. No separate humidifier for them. These guys didn’t wilt at all and are coming along nicely. 😃😃😃. When they wilt, I just use a plastic bag around them for humidity. 👍🏼🪴

@paultheplantparent2702 thank you, Paul. As of 2day, I stopped using humidifier, I noticed some of the leaves turning brown on the edges. It's not lack of watering, but it was very humid, I want no molds on my walls 😫 😩. Happy planting. 😀

@@mdt6176 oh yeah. Mold and mildew are the worst. Our plant babies are so important to us, right? 😃😃😃

Yup 😃

@@MontannaP I usually run them under water and adding a small amount of hydrogen peroxide helps keep the algae down as well. 😃

@@toriespina I’m not sure if it would survive a frost, being from Hawaii. Mine are just in water now too. It’s been years. You can always take cuttings just in case anything happens. But not sure it would survive a frost.

@@Pixelated_Moon you that happens sometimes. It was a surprise to me too. Excited for you and your new plant baby.

@@renatecormick7399 you and I are the same!!!! I would have been right there grabbing them all. Such a shame how they just toss them. For a jade, I’ve propped in moss before. It did fine, but it dries out pretty quickly so I had to keep an eye on it. I’m sure there are benefits to the air spaces in the moss for root growth too. Water is just easier for us. 😃. Thank you so much for your message. It’s definitely a story I can relate to. 😃🪴

@@mariararirez1023 Tysm. Good luck with your plant baby!!! 😃

@@deb.m.7458 hahaha. I know. Some ppl aren’t big on new ideas so figured I’d post something relatable. Don’t you worry, Deb. 😃. We’ll get back to acrylic soon enough. Hope you’re doing great!!!!

Don’t worry about yarn content. I’ll find a knitting channel and make some mitts. All good 😂❤

@@deb.m.7458 hahahaha. I’ll probably always use it so there’s def more to come in the schedule. Thanks so much for being you and being here. 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

@@cindyjohnsen326 awesomeness!!! We’re on the same wavelength!! Hope you’re FANTASTIC my friend!!! 😃🤗🪴

@@paultheplantparent2702 Doing fantastic!! We are getting everything packed and stacked for the move. It shouldn't be as hot on the coast. So I'm thinking my plants should be happy. 🪴📦🌊🏖️🐚 Are you posting tomorrow? Do you have begonias? I'm having trouble with my new one, Venetian Red. She is a Drama Queen for sure. She was wilty when she arrived but begonias usually do that. I have been losing at least 1 leaf every 4 days. She doesn't have many more left. I think I should put her in water and get rid of the soil. I usually don't mess with the pots for a week or two after they've arrived but she's scaring me.

@@cindyjohnsen326 you sound like me. I usually panic and take cuttings. Let me know how you handle it. Hoping for the best. So glad you’re preparing for the move. As stressful as it is, there’s an element of excitement. Can’t wait to hear everything come together. 😃😃😃👍🏼🪴

@@RonBruce-x3f I continuously bunch it up to see if it’s enough. Thicker yarn is quicker. 😃

@@paultheplantparent2702 thanks for the advice.

@@RonBruce-x3f excited to hear how things go. 😃😃😃

Thanks so much for your question. I used a soap spray and cut off infected parts. But they’re so sensitive and most of them never recovered. Never had a group of plants so sensitive. 😞. So, just a soapy spray and alcohol spray.

@@RonBruce-x3f awesome!!! Let me know how it goes. Exciting!!!

@@AnnetteWaits hello. Yup, I keep most of my plants indoors in their yarn or lava medium. Sometimes I’ll put some outside in the summer, but the majority stay inside all the time. One’s I put out are usually sun-loving succulents and flowering plants like vinca and some coleus.

@@AnnetteWaits hello there. I’ve had good luck with goldfish plants in lava rock (nematanthus and columnea). How bad of a shape is your plant in? Many times I e had challenges if the plant is in a state of decline. Shipping can temporarily set them back. In cases like that, I usually put the plant as it is, under lights, keep it warm and hydrated, until I see it perk up a bit. Wouldn’t want the plant to fall into shock after a stressful travel. Let me know what it’s looking like currently. 👍🏼🪴

@@paultheplantparent2702 the majority of it died off, but what survived has perked up and has a bit of new growth. The soil was just soaked all the time! I separated the stems and put half in lava and half in acrylic. We will see how they do. Fingers crossed they both thrive!

@@AnnetteWaits hoping for the best for you. Nice bright light could help too. Keep me posted!!! 🙏🏼😃🪴

@@angelawhite1347 hahaha. You’re awesome, Angela. Yeah there are a bunch of cranky ppl but that’s their issue. I make these vids for ppl like you!!!! So, thank you so much for being you!!! 😃😃😃

@@michellewiltshire73 it’s related but doesn’t have much of a fragrance in the leaves. It could potentially spread as well, but a different species.

@@frankw9836 that’s one reason why I like lava rock. It kinda locks into place and is a little heavier. Succulents love it too. 😃👍🏼

@@paultheplantparent2702 are you sure ?

@@i_vsen they respond really well to water growing. Mine is going on a few years I think. Keep me posted if anything comes up. I’m hopeful for you!!! 😃👍🏼

@@paultheplantparent2702 sure

@@AnnetteWaits yup. I have some in Leca and/or lava rock. They’re so easy that I even have some in plain water. 😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@@maayan0990 it can be annoying but a little bit of soil is ok, as long as you keep the water clean. Sometimes it’s almost impossible to remove everything. As long as most of it is off and the roots are clearly visible, small amounts of soil will eventually come off when changing out the water.

@@renatecormick7399 I hear you. Sometimes es I have an extra video I figure I’d post. The good thing about the haworthias are their small size. Easy to contain. But yes….room is rare these days, until I sell some of them off. Tysm for watching, my friend.

@@deb.m.7458 hahaha. I don’t know why but I love cleaning up the plants. Almost like I imagine them feeling refreshed. 😁. Tysm, Deb.

@@paultheplantparent2702 Paul, I do the same. I find it relaxing and get to spend time with them in a different way. I’m sure there are millions of plant parents that take care of their plant kids.

@@jessief2150 it’s so much fun to experiment, especially when you stumble on something that works well for you. I never tell ppl to do what I do but I love sharing how things work for me. Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words!!! 😃😃😃😃😃

@@patriciacalandra6697 I adore u Cuzzie!!! I love that we share the love of plants!!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

@@carlalaster3641 I’ve had that happen too. If you’re planning on potting it up in soil, you can transfer to soil and then keep humidity up (plastic bag o er the whole play, etc., or if you’re keeping in water, it will eventually grow some roots. New leaves is a good sign tho - it’s still thriving. How are you planning to grow this one?

@@mdt6176 hello there. It depends on the plant type. For succulents, I only water once moss is completely dry. For tropicals I always have to keep the moss damp so they don’t wilt or dry up too much. So it depends on what I’m working with. 😃

@paultheplantparent2702 thank you, Paul. 😃

@@mdt6176 I’m always around. Love talking plants. You’re very welcome. 😃😃😃

For root rot, do you wait to water them? Hopefully you didn't say and I missed it. I was watching, listening, while doing dishes. I have a begonia in sphagnum moss. They sent it like that, in a tall thin, maybe 3" tall pot. It is doing phenomenally well. I set that pot inside another pot that is pretty snug to the original one. I have tons of roots coming out of the original pot into the water reservoir. Sometimes I wait a couple of extra days before refilling the reservoir. You know, to make sure the bottom of the moss is dried out. I don't want to pull it out to check because I'll rip all those roots by pulling them through the drainage holes. It had 3 three leaves and now it has maybe 20. I got it in March. Blab blab blab. Blab away my friend. True plant folks want to learn. Forget about those negative nellies.

@@cindyjohnsen326 that’s pretty awesome. Moss helps in so many situations. I love how you’re dealing with it, with the reservoir!!! You rock, Cindy. 😃😃😃

@@cindyjohnsen326 oh. Yes, I won’t water the succulents either rot first a few days. I love how forgiving they are!!!!!

@@paultheplantparent2702 I only learned about the reservoir because of you. You're awesome!!!

@@paultheplantparent2702 They really are forgiving, thankfully!! Haha Sometimes life gets in the way and I lapse in watering.

@@csept this is so awesome. That’s my experience too. So happy you find value in it as well. 😃😃😃

@@renatecormick7399 so exciting. Let me know how it goes. I’m always around. Can’t wait to hear!! 😃😃😃

@@maritzaurbina9402 have you been adding nutrients? They also do well in Leca or lava rock. Pebbles aren’t usually able to wick up moisture, so not sure that would help. Let me know how often you change the water as well. I would keep them u der bright lights - that sometimes helps them bounce back.

@@deb.m.7458 hoorraaayyyy. Tysm Deb. Ur awesome. I appreciate you!!!

@@cindyjohnsen326 I’m right there with you. My graptos are so easy and so beautiful. I love them so much, too. Ur the best, Cindy!!! 😃😃😃

@@paultheplantparent2702 I so look forward to your videos. I learn something from every single one of them. 😊

@@cindyjohnsen326 THE BEST!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃

@@BLIND_BEAR I don’t know about forever, but definitely long term. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

@@somoni I have them scattered across a few places. It’s really a lot. If I can get it all straightened up, maybe. 🙈

@@hsmc4649 that’s the acrylic yarn I now use to grow some of my plants. 😃

@@hsmc4649 it’s a lot of fun. I have some plants growing in acrylic yarn long-term. Let me know how it goes. 😃

@@Madhu-sr2vo hello there. If the plant isn’t too dehydrated, it’ll start perking up. One thing that has helped me is putting the plant that’s in water in a clear plastic bag to keep the humidity up while it recovers. If it still isn’t looking good, you can take some leaves to root in water. Let me know how the plant is looking and we can work on it together. 😃😃😃

@@ericab936 hello 👋🏼. Most of my plants are either under LED lights or in windows with natural light. Depends on the plant and how much room I have. But the LED daylight bulbs work great!!! Even better than the “grow lights” I have and they’re cheaper. 😃👍🏼

@@paultheplantparent2702 wow thank u for your quick response. U are helping to save plants with your knowledge. Thank u so much. I appreciate u. 🙏🏾

@@ericab936 yay!!! And I appreciate you!!! The plant community is so awesome!!!! 😃😃😃🤗

@@paultheplantparent2702 👍🏾

@@renatecormick7399 I know. It’s unusual. I’m keeping an eye on everything, and so far things are going great. They’re not dissolving too fast so we’ll see how it goes. 😃😃😃😃😃. How is Oz these days? How have you been?

@@paultheplantparent2702 I'm probably bios about Oz, the greatest place on earth, especially where I live... S.E. Qld. (Gold Coast). As for me, I have my days....some are diamond, some are stone...you know which I prefer!!! Thanks for asking Paul.

@@renatecormick7399 I would love to live there. I’ve always dreamed of it. My uncle used to stay there for months at a time with his friends. I can understand why you feel that way!!! 😃😃😃. Glad you’re doing well!!!! 😃👍🏼❤️

@@DeaconBeanCooter there are some plants that may need specific conditions to thrive in water, but in my experimenting, there are a lot of plants that do very well, especially with clean water, enough oxygen and nutrients. 😃👍🏼

@@deb.m.7458 I know the feeling. Enablers only help us hoard. 😆. But it’s a healthy obsession, right? Tysm for tuning in. 😃😃😃

@@cindyjohnsen326 hahaha. Yeah. Calathea are just a challenge no matter how you look at it. Tysm Cindy. I appreciate you!!!! 😃❤️
