What kind of temperatures are there in November? For a plant it is best to not have cold stress, especially not after propagation. Also: yes, just rubbing alcohol. This is mainly to kill any microbes that can be on the shears.

I used a mixture of 45% potting soil, 45% coco peat and 10% perlite.

I use a mixture of potting soil, perlite, bark and coco peat and it is thriving! It grew superbig. I also got this plant directly from a phlebodium cultivation company, and they even used just coco peat. I know they are epiphytes and using compost then sounds counterproductive (compost can become quite dense and wet).

So if I understand correctly, you just cut a part of the stems of the leaves?

Yes, that is also possible.

90% of the roots were dead/rotting. So it was not as healthy as you think.

Sì, lallero!!! Non ho nemmeno voglia di rispondere a sta boiata! È come dici tu 😂😂😂😂

@@serenabna9533 D' accordo!

Haha ;)

@@ЛюдмилаТронина-г6м Правильно делаете! Я начала видеть" свет в конце тоннеля" только с момента, когда перестала срезать тяжи! Ну, что там, - сухие нитки?! - А нет, в них сила! Успехов вам!

@@marinabiriyukova5503 благодарю!Я как-то не обращала на них внимания,теперь буду тоже их сохранять ❤️

Yes, smaller pots will also work. You will just have a smaller mycelium and therefore less harvest of the oyster mushrooms. For a first time you could always try a growth kit, so you will get the hang of how they work

I keep the bags in my cellar. The best spot is somewhere where it is cold, and not too humid (because that can cause rot).

I have learned that the Monstera prefers to stand a bit tight in its pot and that repotting is the best when the pot is full of roots. Going twice as big does not seem to fit that thought. But do you have good experiences with a larger pot?

Thanks!

Tem trocar substrato esse que ela retirou não presta mais, esta acido mata raízes, coloca substrato mistos de orquídeas ou pedras brita ou de Rio.

Que maravilha Agora, aprendi também 😊

​@@andreiamiranda1419obrigada pela dica 😅

I removed the rotted roots

Называется тихо сам с собою😂

Она убрала торфяной горшок...

А она написала, что удалила гнилые корни)))​@@irinaweber7655 Только зачем её закидывать старым дерьмом?🤔

Why? It had severe root rot.

I have experience with these type of orchids. The roots that I cut of have all died.

Если неправильно поливать из-за этого торфяного горшка корни сгниют...

dat is pot omgekeerd haha 🪴

Haha ;)

Graag gedaan :)

De standaard mix die ik gebruik voor veel van mijn planten is: gewone potgrond, kokos potgrond, perliet en daar soms ook boomschors aan toegevoegd. Voor een vetplant zoals de Crassula zou je ook nog wat fijn zand kunnen toevoegen. Maar bij mij werkt mijn standaardmix eigenlijk ook goed.

Dank, is er nog een bepaalde verhoudingen?

@@mirandaweijers Ja ik doe ongeveer 10% perliet en 20% boomschors. De rest dan een mix van normale potgrond en kokospotgrond (35% en 35%) ongeveer. Maar het komt niet supernauw.

What do you mean by surface? You mean where the stalk comes out of the soil?

@PlantYes The plant is 30-36 inches in all directions. The leaves still begin at soil surface but is developing a 1 to 1.5 inch stalk. 18 to 24 months ago it was 12-14 inches in all direction. Hoping there's a pruning technique that brings it back to a smaller posture. I wasn't sure what would result if I cut it at or 1 inch above the soil surface. Thank you for helping me.

@@EUCme I think what is most probable to happen if you cut it 1 inc above the soil is that you will get more branching of the plant. But since it needs to divert the energy, it will indeed start of small again.

@@EUCme If TH-cam had the option to have pictures in the comments, that would be helpfull. But it can't. You can find my email on my page, if you want to send me a picture there I could have a look at it :)

The flowering was ending, there were only 2 flowers left from the 10 that had been there.

Thanks!

By making a cut with pruning scissors between two nodes. I have also a more elaborate video on my channel about pruning and propagating this plant. You can check it here: th-cam.com/video/adq0iTPym-U/w-d-xo.html

@@PlantYes

@@marcelarainsbury9128 ???

No, only when the roots are rotted. I only cut away the root-rotted roots.

Ok thanks😊

Can you explain to why? All energy for flowering has already been used, and there were only 2 flowers left (there were around 10 before). Also I had some root rot, which is in my opinion not something that should be left on the plant.

@@PlantYes Es kann die Pflanze schwächen. Besser ist es, die Orchidee umzutopfen, bevor sich die neuen Blüten überhaupt bilden...

Ich warte bis meine Orchidee nicht mehr blüht, dann werden die Wurzeln geschnitten und einen Topf größer genommen. Neue Orchideen Erde reingefüllt. Sollte man alle 2-3 Jahren ersetzen

​@@martinakohler4129So mache ich es auch.

Thanks!

You're welcome :)

The gloves I use are actually cleaning/kitchen gloves. I think it is because of the rubber that they work?

Oh nooooo! Did all your plants die? Or did some of them survive?

@@PlantYes the didn't die , I removed the top soil and placed Sand on top

No that is not necessary. This will happen by itself.

I do have another video explaining the benefits of using pon/vulcastrat. I notice that for instance I have way less problems with fungus gnats and are also able to fertilise the plants more precise.

Depends on the plant. In this video I use a mixture of regular potting soil, coco peat, perlite and bark.

@@shirleycolopy4322 thank you so much :)

Yes, neem oil helps with a lot of things. But the smell is not always that nice ;)

Thank you for subscribing

The lining I use is special plastic lining, called anti rooting mat. It lets water through, but soil and plant material will stay in. The wood we bought was already impregnated for use outside, so I cannot really advise you on that.

You're welcome :)

Dat snap ik helemaal, maar je kan de rozemarijn ook even wassen voordat je hem gebruikt in de keuken. Alternatieven zijn het gebruik van lieveheersbeestjes.

I am not sure where you live, but most potting soil (from the bags you can buy), has been treated (for instance by steaming). I also have been to many greenhouses and even potting soil production plants, and never heard of that either.

@@PlantYes That warning is on every bag of potting mix in Australia. Also, I'm not sure why you would want sterile soil, if it's not bioactive, it's not going to produce a nutrient rich environment.

Can you specify your question?

Like some of us are new to this hobby and have no idea what a node is, where it's located at on the plant, and what is there purpose?

I know ;) Airlayering is just one of the many propagation techniques. I used both the normal cuttings techniques as well as airlayering, but I like airlayering better for this plant.

Also: You have less chance of rot in this method, so a higher chance of succes.

Should I include more puns in my normal videos?

@@PlantYes you shall pun more than none.

You can try to root them in water, they sometimes are able to give roots. But it will take a very long time untill you have a plant

It is called "vlinder orchidee" in Dutch, which translates to butterfly orchid. In my opinion the Phalaenopsis is the butterfly orchid. What kind of orchid do you believe it is?

Water. If you take 100% alcohol, you mix it with water to get 60-70% alcohol. Sometimes you can buy 70% alcohol mixtures (they are always mixtures..) in store.

Thank you so much :)

Thanks!

It was a woven inside liner, a thing called a anti-rooting mat. WIll let water through, but soil and roots will stay in.

Definitely try it out :) It is super easy!

My plant as well is around 15 years old and has grown very tall and outrageous, lol. Im going to prune it soon. I was afraid to in case I killed it.
