    I have binged watched several of your videos since discovering your channel today. I have to tell you I subscribe to several "plat TH-camrs" and you are my favorite so far to watch. You explain in an easy way to follow and I have learned so much already. I can't wait to transition my vine plants to moss poles. I'm obsessed. Thank you

    My Dragon Tail needs chopping. I'm going to be brave, like you, and do it today. I've heard that plants really do appreciate being tamed. The energy can concentrate on new growth instead of getting taller and taller. Glad I found your channel.

    I went to this department store looking for trimmings to make my Easter hat, and surprisingly came upon moss. Yippee. On my way, just need Leca now.

    I bought one of these about 3 weeks ago and it's trying to commit suicide. Leaves turning YELLOW. I haven't drowned, it honest! 🤥I gave it new soil, put a trellis in the pot, lassoed a couple of long stems and now I've lost 4 yellow leaves. I did water it a bit after putting it in new soil. If it gets leggy like yours I will chop-chop like you did here. There are 5...FIVE...new shoots coming up. I'm very excited. Thanks for this information.

    I have several of these. I call them Mr. Whackadoodle because they put out like 4-6 foot long leafless vines. Drives me nuts! I have chopped a few times. I find them very reluctant to root as well.

    I Was Cutting Up The Leggy Vines Of My Decursiva Cuttings Last Night. Two Of The Cuttings Are Growing In The Cups Of Sphagnum Moss They Came In... And A Third Is Rooting In Water Because Of The Size And Condition I Received It In. Mine Will Get Potted Up In Soil... SO I Think I've Decided To Leave Them To Root Up A Little Longer Most Likely Until The End Of The Month.

    Thank you for sharing! How long have you had your Decursiva? I was able to get my hands on one about 2 months ago and it still has not grown.
    I have been binge watching your videos for the past couple of days. You have such great content! I hope we get an update later in the year for this plant.

    From what I understand the “leggyness” on vining plants like this, while can be reaching for light, when it is near the end of the pole or support it is often looking for support.

    Hello I thought I found the plants I wanted for now until I seen the dragon tail and in mature form. 😍 I know compared to your other plants it prob needs babying but I think I'm going to buy one now. I have purchased a few plants only because I saw how they looked in mature form not just a tiny plant like other channels show. 😊

But a lot of people use them for houseplants because the media doesn't breakdown over time. If u look up aquaponics it will pop up even more. It seems like an easier watering method ir self watering hack.

      The roots are very prolific so that is just fine. Also growing in leca is a bit different than in soil, size of the pot does not matter as much so I actually tend to use a larger pot if I know the plant has prolific roots.

    • @hanzadee4349
      @hanzadee4349 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've been using leca for two years and now I've given up. Roots are never completely happy. Look at the roots in the video. These are not healthy plant roots. Initially the roots grow very well, but then they deteriorate. Especially in winter, the roots begin to rot. I switched to a mix of Cocopeat and leca instead. I'm still waiting for the results.
