There's some decent ones sold by people on Facebook in the US Hoya Market. They don't have the fancy water meter on the top, but you can see it on the bottom when the water levels get low.
Agreed, the dexceders are the best dupes for larger lechuza pots at a better price point. I find the water meters on these are as reliable as the lechuza ones, whereas a lot of the other brands tend to get their water meters stuck.
I just got a silver dragon thanks to your influence. Thank you so much for all your help, you’re incredible 💕 all my plants send their thanks as well! 😂
My favorite too. When I started this crazy journey,I watched everybody,then I decided that Melissa was the one. Most others are affiliated with companies that I feel they push but may not actually use or like. Melissa is totally honest with her successes and failures (very few) and I like and respect that. I drive my hubby nuts telling him what Melissa taught me. Lol
Hi Melissa! Have you tried using a quinoa strainer when working with pon over the sink? It might help with the rinsing while not letting any go down the drain 😊
I want to swap all my Alocasia over to pon. Yours are doing so well! I just got some clear self watering pots off Amazon I really love. Time to get busy now!😊
Loved this video. I really like repot days video. It’s especially fun when you do your Alocasias because of you digging for corms. I can’t believe you got 26 out of that one pot. Though you did have several plants in that pot, all producing their own corms.
Seeing your gorgeous El Choco makes me just want to pop it up without a moss pole. I’m kinda getting over them to be honest. And I have a little baby (choco) that I will be putting on a moss pole anyway. So less plants on poles the better 😅
I was actually wondering myself if there are any companies that manufacture pots out of other, less plasticky or fume-laden materials, like maybe acrylic. I know there are composite resin pots, too, and I have some… they’re generally sold for a little higher price though. Guess it’s worthwhile. Less smell and better durability. But maybe I’m not looking hard enough. I do like the resin pots I have, they’re virtually indestructible. I’d think acrylic might be slightly more durable than plastic too, though it’s not perfect, and can scratch and look beat up after some time. All my large, outdoor plastic pots (2'-3' tall) lately are cracking due to excessive root growth! Which is great, but also irritating… if it’s a larger plant, it’s a task to repot. Plus it’s just an aesthetic inconvenience to have a cracked pot… it’s annoying! Lol. I thought they were slightly better than this. But snake plants & agaves are the two plants that I KNOW will bust a pot open, of ANY material. Anything with insane rhizome growth and asexual reproduction (pups) WILL crack plastic! 😡 ugh, anyway. Thanks for reminding me…gotta order these things! 💕
Corms take a few weeks before they start to sprout and it also does depend on how big the corms are. Yes, they will still sprout even if you don’t remove the outer brown skin. Base on my own experience with them, it’ll take longer for the corm to sprout with the skin still on it but the time doesn’t differ too badly.
I need to put my biggest alocasia in Pon finally think I'm gonna try it I up potted her to a 20 inch a few months and quickly had to start watering her twice a week again in normal soil I'm a bit scared to do it though she's a zebrina with 5ft long petials and 3ft leaves I don't wanna lose her but I think at her maturity she could handle it finally
your el choco is gorgeous! What type of lighting does it get? Just watched a you tube video that says they don't really like bright direct light that they lose the red on back if it gets to much.
Thank you!! I think the red fades on the back with maturity. I just moved mine to the floor in the middle of my plant room right now so I would say ambient light 🙈 It was under a 60 watt Monios light for about a year.
Thank you! I think it really likes my environment/nutrient regimen I have been doing. She seems really happy so far so hopefully I can keep her that way 🙏
Love that El chocolate. It's been on my list for awhile but it looks like a spider mite magnet. What's ur experience with pests? Wonder if it would like S FL heat also. My verracosum hated it and it died😢
Yikes! That's an outrageous price for a plastic pot from China. I'd pay that for a hand-made artist ceramic pot. I get inexpensive plastic pots, dollar store, walmart etc. but prefer clear orchid pots and I make my own diy self watering with plastic syringes with the middle plunger piece removed. You could use any kind of tube though. And I use ceramic cache pots, so it works very well!
Sure, whatever works for you! I'm sure the inexpensive plastic pots from dollar store or Walmart and materials you need still come from china so not sure why that is even necessary to make a remark on it. It saves me time to buy a pot ready to use so I'm willing to spend the money on it.
@@plantsbymelissa You can buy whatever you like, makes no difference to me, 'my point' was only that is molded plastic (all from China inexpensive & expensive) and they shouldn't charge that much, not that you shouldn't buy them.
What do you mean tour of my plant room? I did an entire houseplant tour a couple months ago and I have lots of videos showing my plant room :) th-cam.com/video/0lokE7yOQtg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HgjDfXswtSq5Z32W. I can't really film in there right now since it's so crowded. I have poles all over the place and it's a really small room. I like semi hydro now for certain plants and no I am not sponsored by them 😅
I bought that pot too. Bought a lecuza too but sent it back due to not having an inner pot that I could lift out and check roots. The Dexcedar I can check roots. I do wish that the inner pot was clear.
I did the same thing when I first bought a lechuza one 🙈 they make both styles with and without an inner pot. The ones with the inner are more expensive of course. I think I'll like this brand though so I may end up getting more of this one.
Your el choco red is stunning! Question though - I have a few alocasias in pon and have recently upsized my frydek. I’m noticing all of them with water droplets on their leaf tips especially in the mornings. Right now they are on my kitchen table but are getting too big. I’m wanting to put them on the floor but worried about the excess water dripping onto the floors where my cats can lick at it. Any suggestions to stop the excess droplets?
Hi! You are literally like my favorite person to watch! I usually never comment, but I have to because it’s driving me crazy trying to figure out which pre mix you have talked about that you think was the cause of all your root rot months ago…. I know you can’t really say but how do I find out? 😂
Thank you! oh I have no problem saying Sol Soils 😅 I liked it at first and even promoted it but it didn't work for me and my environment and lots of my followers said the same thing was happening to their plants in it. It was also full of gnat larvae. Def don't recommend. Not to mention one of the owners said I didn't know how to water my plants to their customers 👎
I also boil my Leca/pon for about 10 minutes if I’ve had a plant that has started rotting/died in the substate I’m in Australia, but as you know, due to the price of it, I’m not going to get rid of it 😅
I’ve been using the pots with the wick in them and finding that works well. It’s much cheaper for larger pots! There is no water level indicator but I just look in the hole at the bottom reservoir where you refill it. The bottoms are also still removable for when you want to flush them out.
Do you rinse only after it’s been used? Bc if you rinse before use you’ll end up messing up the time release fertilizer in there. If you’re like me and hate it anyways it doesn’t matter lol
Hi Jacqueline! I rinse before now - I can't stand the dust. I don't rely on the slow release fertilizer since there is no telling how much of it is actually in each pot. I fertilizer right away now :)
Hi so this question is mostly related to moss poles. I recently found spider mites in my poles and I was wondering if you can suggest what I can use to get ride of them? I am having a very difficult time and it’s not like I can undo the moss poles because the plants are extremely rooted in the poles. Hope you can help.
Hi there! Are you sure they are spider mites? Spider mites will want to attack the foliage and not stay in the moss. They could be a type of soil mite which are beneficial as I have had them in my moss. If they are spider mites I would take the pole outside or inside if you have a tub/shower and hose it off with water to knock as many off. I would suggest predatory mites for spider mites. I would go with neoseiulus californicus.
Mine are older now but I found them on overstock. The same brand is on amazon I can see if I can link them :) www.amazon.com/dp/B09HGSKPV3?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B09HGSKPV3&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2JYY2NMZQQCOE&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin www.amazon.com/dp/B082R4JY4Z?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B082R4JY4Z&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.2JYY2NMZQQCOE&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
Are you just talking about general clear plastics pots? The ones in the video are self watering pots but clear pots I have a few brands I use. I don't have any that are 9 inches in height though so I would just do a search online to see what comes up. I'm sure amazon has some!
@@plantsbymelissa I did do search but can't find the ones I like. Looking for tower pots. Tall and slotted. 9 inch one I saw was like 41.00. Kinda high. Oh well thank you
Thank you for another great video Melissa! I am hoping you make a video of you repotting your Albo's planted in Pon. Also it has been ages since we have seen a good video of your plant room updates! 💖💖😻😻
I’ve been noticing that some plants do so well in pon and others just don’t. It almost seems too dense for some plants. I’m considering mixing perlite in with the pon to try and make it a bit lighter and make my pon last longer.
Outside! I got some mesh bags recently that made it easier to rinse it. I used my hose on the driveway. Here's the bags: www.amazon.com/dp/B0881KM54Q?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B0881KM54Q&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3DGT1T05R3EUS&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d_asin
Hi Melissa just watched your video. I always love watching them. Some of them I have watched more than once 😂😅. Can you help me with my allocacias? I want to move them to pon from dirt. Should I put them in water first and wait for new water roots or put them directly into pon? I don't have any money to buy stratum I can't afford it😢. Look forward to your suggestions.❤
Hi Debra :) Thank you for watching and for the support! I recently made a whole dedicated pon care video where I share everything I know. I can link it here if you haven't seen it. th-cam.com/video/DsjvG3VLWfk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=u_Um0YqyzUWBB5aB - I talk about transfers - yes, you can put them in water first.
I just have not had this kind of success with pon. Most of the philodendrons I put in pon will get edema and eventually fungal infections from staying wet all the time.
oh no I'm so sorry 😢 I had no idea how they would do in it. I experimented with this one and I've moved a few more philos over to pon since. I started with pon a year ago now so I don't have any experience over that and how plants do in it long term but I hope they continue to do okay.
I just recently potted my El Choco Red into Pon and honestly she’s had a very difficult transition. She’s lost 5 leaves but I’m staying positive and hoping for the best for her. Your El Choco Red is gorgeous 💚💚💚
I'm so happy for you that your El Choco has been growing so good for you. You have earned that growth for sure 🫶 And i cant believe she is already do for another upsize so quickly 😱
It's so hard to find large affordable pots for semi-hydro. That choco is gorgeous! 😍
Yes! They're so expensive! Thank you!! 🙏
There's some decent ones sold by people on Facebook in the US Hoya Market. They don't have the fancy water meter on the top, but you can see it on the bottom when the water levels get low.
I have a few of these planters. They work just as well as lechuza. They’re the closest ones that do the job.
good to know, thanks :) So far so good :)
Agreed, the dexceders are the best dupes for larger lechuza pots at a better price point. I find the water meters on these are as reliable as the lechuza ones, whereas a lot of the other brands tend to get their water meters stuck.
