Thanks for this video. Very useful. I just got an aglonema planted in complete clay soil and I was worried whether I should repot it. But the plant seems to doing good and its brought out two new leaves already within a couple of weeks. Like you said, I will wait and see how it does in the coming days.
Hey Ann, this is really very informative . Something which is very important but least touched topic. You are a cute little university for garderners . Your efforts and enthusiasm is really appreciable . May God bless you 🙌
I totally agree with you. Specially Succulents are always potted with high portion of cocopeat which makes them die within a month or two. . Mostly nurseries don't use proper succulent soil.
One thing is there in nurseries orders coming from long distances even other countries with out water these plants travel two'three days even weeks that's why I think nursery guys posting mix made in clay soils. I understood that . Just for a information please let me know if any mistakes
Thanks for posting this informative video.👍👍👍 Many of my plants have died after repotting some immediately and some after doing well for some time. Some had been repotted immediately but some after few days, weeks.
All your knowledge just enchants me , your videos are always very very helpful for me and my plants . Thanks to you . It is my humble request to you that please help me with the problems , I will put forward to you .Thanking you again , lots of love ❤ to you from Kolkata
Thanks a lot for your reply! I think I have the exact same plant the Stromanthae...though mine is newly planted and just catching up...hopefully I does well here .thanks so much!
Blessings for this important video. When we need clay type soil, we don't get. I want this for Lotus plant. I have failed once, as I used my normal red soil. Guide me for this. When I think so much to comfort the plants, I wonder if Biji ever did that. She had real green fingers. BTW what is English name for Anant (or Anand) flowers? These are in single and multi petaloids
Wow, Lotus. I have grown it too, i have added builders sand and sand from a pond. Its doing well as if now. I would like to know more abt the lotus plant if you have it.
Thanks for the informative video! Sometimes getting the right soil mixture helps a plant significantly! I’m so jealous of your Zz Raven btw! It’s so fascinating how different parts of the world have different plants available!
Can you please tell me what soil will be good for the below plants: 1)Boston fern: currently it is in full coco peat 2) Ficus 3) Money plant ( also in full coco peat, hanging) 4) Snake plant 5) Curry leaves 5) Arica palm 6) Bamboo plant
Hey Ann....thanks for such a wonderful n informative video.... Even i end up loosing my plants because of soil type.....the nursery i buy plants from procure their stock either from pune or cal and i mostly find plants in rock solid clay soil or extremely porous cocopeat, never ever found prefect mixture :( I actually wonder how these plants sustain with nursery people..
Best we can do is wait for a couple of weeks and prepare our own potting mix ......dip the roots of the plant in a bucket of water before repotting for few mins so that soil comes off and roots remain intact and then repot the plant. Thats the best we can do. Some might make it and wont.... I feel soooo bad when i loose a plant as i pick my plant so affectionately from the lot available in there. It really attracts me to bring him home and loosing it affects me a lot....most of the time i curse myself for not taking proper care....
Shikha Singh l follow the same procedure, and yes the end result is not always favourable. Lost a beautiful dieffenbachia recently, it was planted in super hard Kolkata clay.
Hello ma'am you make a very interesting video and I learned a lot. Can I ask a question? What are the effect of Sandy soil and peat soil to plants? .thank you ma'am More power and God Bless
Good review about soil I was also thinking about nursery soil which has positive and negative but after getting the plant settling few days or weeks later repotting is must for making well drain, and pot in a beautiful ceramic or plastic pot. Even each plants size matters and roots r different so pot sizes matters sometimes it's a mystery in soil mix which is good and bad for all varieties of plants.
Even after 4 yrs of gardening l still struggle with soil mixes. V get nursery plants either in red soil or in clay soil or coco peat. I try to repot them by removing most of the soil they come in, but in d process some plants go under shock and and l end up losing them. Thank u for such an informative content🙏🏻🙏🏻. p.s- Plz make a vdo wenever u repot ur stromanthe triostar
hi...I love your vedios because it is usually very informative....but here I wanted to know...a bit more about soils...I mean which plant will love acidic soil and which one will prefer alkaline soil...what to do to remove acidity of soil..can we mix lime in the soil.. any method to know about weather the soil is acidic or alkaline..
I m a beginner in gardening, I love stromanthe triostar very much, I watched the video and your triostar plant behind you looks just awesome..plz make a video on how to care and the potting procedure of this plant as whenever I am buying this plant it dies.. :( :'(
Thanks Sonia ☺, yes this has been a pending video for me & will try to do it soon. What city do you live in. This plant does well in humidity and if in a dry city, you will need a humidity tray or humidifier. Also buy a healthy plant to start off with and water it with soft water that has been stayed for 24 hours.
Very nice info... this is my 1st likes, subscribe n comments... i learnt a lot frm u... ur channel shows completly subtitles which i can clearly understand by reading as im deaf i dont hear anything... i luv plants n hav many at my home. I experienced all that u said about soil like we get new plants from nursery n they die under our care because of soil/ new surroundings/drying soil at the top in the pots but remains moisture near the roots & many more... thanks for ur kind advice....
Hi Kavitha! All my efforts in putting comments have been blessed by your comment. Glad you found the video helpful and wishing you a lot of healthy and lovely plants! Will keep trying to add as many captions and subtitles as I can to make the video easier to watch. Take care!
Ann must say you are genius about plants and soils yes I fully agree with you dear🍀☘️🌵🌴🌳as mu stromanthe Triostar 🌅 was good but I repotted it in two different pots n 😔😔their leaves are fully turn around I m feeling so guilty about it I saw it in your channel and I bought it even though it has some damaged leaves but....😭😒😒is it indoor or do I keep it in my grill so that it can open his leaves please let me know waiting
Thanks Kappu! For now don't do too many things to your plant to save it. Let it adjust to a spot that has medium indirect sunlight and settle down. Too much repotting and changing of spots will stress your plant. and you should water only when the top soil is started drying out. Don't let the plant become too dry too. Plant loves moisture, so keep it away from windy dry spots or your house fan. I will be making a video on the stromanthe Triostar soon, hopefully it will help you out more clearly.
could you talk about in florida, sandy soil beginner gardener. can I pour a lot of perllte in my small garden along with a bag or two of top soil or compost?
if possible just make a vedio with broad classification...like dracena family...anglonema family...pothos...peace lily family...palms.....etc...which family like what kind of soil In a broader perspective i.e. acidic/alkaline...poros or clay soil....water loving...fertiliser loving etc... I know only you can furbish such details in a vedio....will wait for
All my plants which i got potted in nursery are in clay, be it snake plant or rubber plant. I will have to change the soil eventually at some point of time
Good info as ever ann. Thank you. Is that plant behind you Rhoeo tricolour plant ?Yeah ... You mentioned it as Stromanthe triostar. Are both same ? Please clarify. Thank you.😄
Hi Vijaya, no the stromanthe Triostar is very different from the Rhoeo tricolour. The rhoeo is from a different family, has much smaller leaves and also is much more hardy than the Triostar that can be finicky.
@@GeeksofGreen Thank you for the reply. Planning to grow one if these and want to know which is a hardy one. Will now start growing Rhoeo then as a beginner . But triostar is much more beautiful. 😁😁
Highly informative video... Btw, don't you have any problems with crawling insects like centipedes indoors??? Nursery pots come with a lot of rent free ' residents', don't they???
Hi. Recently I bought a Chinese bamboo. Though I am changing its water twice a week, some of the stems getting yellow. Could you plz suggest me what to do.
Hey put the bamboo in a wide, little more circumferance glass pot and see that it is not packed... And reduce the water level... And keep it in indirect sunny and well aerated place... And if a stick is turning yellow remove it immediately...change water every 2/3 days and wash the roots properly... Remove debris and dead roots...
Ver imp information tq.When I bought my zz plant and snake plants it was in completely coolest and grown well. But after few months I changed the cocopeat and mixed some soil and compost in cocopeat . Now it's not growing. It was as it is.is it necessary to keep zz in coolest only? What to do now to grow that one. I really like that plant very much. I am upset.
Thanks Sudha ☺, I keep it in my balcony around 6 feet from the edge. The roof is semi-opaque and let's some diffused light in too. It has a fixed spot there. I move him in for a short while only for my videos.
The only point about is that the character of perfect potting soil doesn't match the transportation needs. So the nursery people do like this. Some other factor may be there
Please let me know the solution for mealybugs .. i saw a black fungus on the right above of my boston fern root stems and am worried.. i stay in mumbai may be the heavy rains led to this fungus.. and saw mealybugs on my fitonia .. iam worried and am a beginner dont want to loose any of the plant...
Hullo Garden Geek! Thanks for your videos. What should be the soil mix for Araucaria? I live in north India and I love this plant, and I have just got the plant from a nursery.
This is very informative :) Thankyou! Can you tell me how to take care of the stromanthe tricolor which is behind you? I got one from Wayand last week,leaves are curled and it is almost dying :(
I will be making a video on the stromanthe soon. For now just keep the plant in a medium light spot and water only when soil is drying out, ie around every 5-7 days. Leaves usually curl because of too much sunlight, these plants don't like too bright light.
Thanks for the video! What's the name of the tricoloured plant behind you? I have a similar one in green , pink and white variegation. Have been looking for info on how to car for it.
I watched almost every video u have posted..loved them all..I got inspired and got lot of plants, however didnt look for bugs in them so now my plants have snails in them..I removed them still find few small ones..do not know what to do..please help...
Glad you liked the content Akhila! Keep picking and throwing them out with your hands. Also you could make snail traps, google about it. Another option is to sprinkle irritants on the soil surface. There are various organic options too that you can google for. I personally just pick them off and throw them and haven't had an infestation so haven't used any other techniques yet.
Thanks for this video as am teally waiting for this kind of video.. i bought plants which are totally in cocopeat and since a month i dint water them and still wet.. am worried as snake plants and zz dont like wet feet.., this video is really helpfull..
I have planted my aglaonemas and spider plant in cocopeat and compost (1:1 ratio) in ceramic pots. Is it okay or will my plant die? Do i need to add soil in the mixture?
Ideally there should have been an equal part of garden soil and sand. Be careful watering your plant as your soil mix will retain lot of water. For now observe and care for the plants we'll.
hi, can you give some suggestions as to how to improve clay soil? and how to remove the plant from a pot with clay soil for repotting it? Most plants from nursery are in clay soil, my areca palm is dying due to that.
Adding sand is the best way to improve clay soil, add equal amount sand to clay and half of compost, mix thoroughly, you can amend this basic base soil according to plant needs, like adding perlite/coco chips/charcoal for a more light n porous media. For repotting clay soil plants, I let the clay soil dry, pull out the plant, soak it in water, free the roots gently, then repot in my own soil mix. I recently tried repotting my shiuli but the clay was so hard n so stuck to the roots that I had to damage quite a bit of the root n let most of the clay soil intact, so be very careful when you do this.
@@debopriya14 hi.. thanks for suggestion... unfortunately my areca palm died already... i had transferred it to a well draining medium but root rot had set in... i couldnt save it... also, i know every channel suggests to add sand.. but i had seen a video where the guy experimented with different things like sand, compost, mulch and stuff to test which one is better... and he got the worst result with sand in the long run... its texturr becomes similar to concrete... so i wouldn't prefer to add sand to clay soil... just saying. i wish i could find the video but i dont have the link anymore...
@@ash11music all my plants are in a sandy mix and they're thriving, a lot depends on how you maintain the plants and your environment.. in Hyderabad its a strange mix of dry and humid weather so my plants like a sandy mix that doesn't retain much moisture.. it's been working for me, so it's totally about coming up with a mix that suits individual need.
This video is really helpful for beginners like me. We're often confused about potting mix
Thanks for this video. Very useful. I just got an aglonema planted in complete clay soil and I was worried whether I should repot it.

Most informative Indian channel on Gardening I ever came across. Scientific and logical

I totally agree with you. Specially Succulents are always potted with high portion of cocopeat which makes them die within a month or two. . Mostly nurseries don't use proper succulent soil.
Yes, that's a bad practice that I hope improves over time.
This is indeed helpful... Due to lack of knowledge I lost my croton, Areca palm n more.... Thanks a lot madam... Keep sending
Ann This is very much informative and is giving new insights for the need of right mix for plants
Very informative video!! I had made this this mistake many times. Thank you so much ma'am.
Excellent video .very informative 👍💚
One thing is there in nurseries orders coming from long distances even other countries with out water these plants travel two'three days even weeks that's why I think nursery guys posting mix made in clay soils. I understood that . Just for a information please let me know if any mistakes
I totally agree with you. Can you please guide me how to repot and I am not an expert..so l really don't know which plants require which kind of soil.
Very useful ... and like the flow of language.👍
Thanks for posting this informative video.👍👍👍 Many of my plants have died after repotting some immediately and some after doing well for some time. Some had been repotted immediately but some after few days, weeks.
You're welcome! Over time with experience we develop a gut feeling that helps us time our repotting better. But still It's tricky!

@@debopriya14 hi.. thanks for suggestion... unfortunately my areca palm died already... i had transferred it to a well draining medium but root rot had set in... i couldnt save it... also, i know every channel suggests to add sand.. but i had seen a video where the guy experimented with different things like sand, compost, mulch and stuff to test which one is better... and he got the worst result with sand in the long run... its texturr becomes similar to concrete... so i wouldn't prefer to add sand to clay soil... just saying. i wish i could find the video but i dont have the link anymore...
@@ash11music all my plants are in a sandy mix and they're thriving, a lot depends on how you maintain the plants and your environment.. in Hyderabad its a strange mix of dry and humid weather so my plants like a sandy mix that doesn't retain much moisture.. it's been working for me, so it's totally about coming up with a mix that suits individual need.
Where did you get your zz raven from??

I had ridge guard in clay soil which is of around 2 months old it was almost spread to my iron grill.please tell me or do a video on how to repot it
Noted, will try to do a video on repotting.
Thank you
We need to make soil mix by ourselves... No soil is good.. It is as per plant...
