Carnivorous plants don’t need humidity they enjoy it, but it’s not required. You can always hand feed them too if you are worried. pings don’t have a limit of flies like fly traps do before they have a cow 😂🤣
haha thank you!!
I was horrified when I found a plastic thing around a root ball! Such pretty plants, Melissa. I love that alocasia. 💚✨🌿
UGH, the plastic ones are the worst, like why haha
Cats are so sweet and adorable. I love watching them play.❤❤❤ The sign is amazing thanks for letting us know where to get one and the starting price.
Good morning Melissa! Another great video. I never miss one and always look forward to the next! Thank you! 🌱 🪴
Good morning! I appreciate you for watching so much! 💖
I love your new sign 💚💚💚 Such a great gift from your husband. The plants look great and hopefully your ping bounces back.
Thank you!! It hasn't changed in a week so I am taking that as a good sign lol
The Platinum Alocasia was the most carefree easy going alocasia I ever grew. I grew it in semi-hydro leca. I neglected it, I forgot to water it, it didn't get premiere lighting, and it was so drama free I sometimes I forgot I had it. It never dropped a leaf. Never had crispy edges. And it grew a leaf so big I thought it was secretly a spacecraft and it was going to fly away.
I've found alocasias to be the easiest to transfer to pon out of all of my other genuses I grow. I've also found that rot happens more if you don't spread the rootball out within the substrate when potting it up. So if it's got some well developed roots I try to spread them as best I cant while potting deeper than what I would initially expected then pull up on the plant a centimeter or two to get those roots to stretch out and then backfill with more of the substrate.
Enjoy living thur you in the plant era. Plants look great, I rub milk on my Orchid leaves for water spots to make them shine. We call those mad minutes when our Olivia-Michael goes crazy running around. But she's not running towards anyone. 😅 take care
You got a lot of new products to share 😁 fun. 🎉
@plantsbymelissa I was dying lmao watching the kitties do zoomies 😂 thanks for the good laugh and great video!! I actually just added the splendid I purchased from you onto a pole, I'm super excited to watch it grow and get bigger!
They are so funny when they get the zoomies! 😂 aw yay!! My splendid took off after it got situated. I hope you get some good growth to happen!!
The plants look great; hopefully, they’ll do well. Your cats look so cute in their new cardboard playpen!
I love The Green Escape. I have ordered from them multiple times and I am never disappointed.
Love the video, can't wait for another. Sure there has to be a reason i wonder why you don't put the little sad ones in stratum. Maybe to moist? Very curious to the result of these. Oooo you are so spontanious like that so much. Makes me looking forward to that another video aswell 😜. Take care Melissa 🥰
That was a very nice light your husband got you. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! ☺️
Catching up with the last few videos,,
Loved all the new pots,macrame,
Planting tours,the IKEA green house /stand,the sign is perfect ‼️✨and the repotted plants from this video
are so beautiful....👌
💚🌿🍀🌵💚
31:43 so beautiful 😍 thank you for showing how you do a moss pole from start to finish. I just made my first moss pole and it was soo hard! You need ten hands to hold the pole, plant, and scooper.
And your new sign is amazing 🌱
Thank you! haha yeah the more you do it the easier it gets! More hands would be nice lol I have soo many moss pole starts on my channel :D
Love the kitties running!
hehe that was Chai - he flies over everything when he gets the zoomies lol
Melissa, personally I don’t think you will have issues with Bisma, the only thing I found with mine in the last 1.5 years is that it didn’t like as much light as other alocasias. Also its leaves are much thicker and it doesn’t require as much water. But this of course in my environment and my low humidity ( 40%) with your expertise you should do fine ❤️Thanks for all the great content!
I love your wonderful videos, thanks for the cool lifehack with lemon water for wiping leaves😇
and Hello from Ukraine💕
I love the new light up sign! How cool!
Thank you! ☺️
I love the neon sign, so cute!
Thank you! 💖
I never knew lemon 🍋 juice could be used for plants. 🌿 tfs
That gigas against the pink pot is so pretty. I just put my gigas on that same pole, but now i want a pink pot too!
The pink one is so pretty! I got it from ikea recently 😍
They are all beautiful 😍. The smallest one I would put in your cabinet, the fing one. I'm not sure if I got the name right. Because it needs high humidity, plus it loves warm place. Good job they are definitely looking so good. 👌 👍❤️
The neon sign is really cool! I think the Gigas is my fav of this group.. its so velvety! Good luck with that Ping, hopefully it will bounce back 🤞
I hope so too and thank you! I actually am really excited for the gigas to grow 🥰
I recently got a Gigas and I’m in love! ✨💚
I love how long your videos are! I don't remember how long they used to be.
ALSO *you have doubled in subscribers since I started watching you* !!! So happy for you! Well deserved 🎉🎉🎉
That sign is beautiful, bright but beautiful 😍
What a fun sign!!! Good job husband!!!!!🎉🎉
The gigas is stunning!!! Love the velvet leaves paired with the pink planter perfectly. I didn’t know about the lemon juice for the leaves wow I’m gonna try that this weekend
Enjoyed your video
(Can you link the square nursery planters , so need them)
Belated Happy Birthday Melissa!!! 🎉
Thank you so much 😀
Just put the plug in the water and the hard dry area will uptake water and soften up without the need to break down the roots.
I didn't think of that haha!
Your husband is so sweet I’m so happy he supports you :) ❤️
Thank you so much!! ☺️
Very enjoyable Melissa! I have a Bisma that I received 12 months ago. It grew GREAT and I decided to put in pon. Not really bad, but throwing a major fit! Two growths with 2 ea leaves. I have my fingers crossed that in spring Mr Bisma will amaze me!
oh no! I hope it will grow more here come spring! It makes me nervous a little since I don't have any corms but hoping it won't throw too much of a fit for me 🙏
It does NOT need a dome. Mine are very happy with the house environment. I have quit a few carnivorous plants. Leave it open and it will attract the gnats. They are awesome!!!
Thanks for the tips! I put it in my cabinet right now so it's about 70% humidity. I might move it out though.
@@plantsbymelissa mine are doing great in my normal home humidity. Just keep it in the sphagnum moss with water and it will be catching gnats in no time.
I hope the ping gets better soon. Thanks so much for the video. I always learn something new from your channel. Appreciate you😊 btw your hair looks pretty curled, or wavy... either way it looks nice👍🙋
High light is a must for pings along with distilled water and you can use peat moss but not from miracle grow because it is fertilized. Your sign looks beautiful.
Thank you!! 🙏 Appreciate it!
that anthurium is soooo pretty 😍
I love the leaves! 😍
Good morning Melissa. I’m glad to be here. Looking forward to seeing this video. I’m first. Got here in two minutes after you posted it.
aww good morning to you Lisa!! Happy Tuesday and thank you for watching! 🥰
Make sure those pings are getting plenty of light! Mine are thriving in direct morning to midday sun. They're pretty easy as long as there's always water on the bottom and get that light going. No need for high ambient humidity since you have the continuous bottom water.
Thanks for the tips! I moved it to my cabinet for the time being but I might end up moving it to more sun. I appreciate it! 🙏
Pings propigate like succulents if a leaf falls off while its dying you can treat it like a jade plant leaf and it should pop out a little baby they are hardy little guys once they are happy
Thank you!! I hope it makes a comeback! it looks the same since filming this so I guess that's a good thing haha. I ended up putting it in my cabinet for right now.
Now I have to go to IKEA!!!! Going to the one in Charlotte and seeing everything and hoping to be as lucky as You with my haul !!!!❤
aw good luck!! I hope they have a good selection for you and have fun shopping!! 🥰💖
It's funny you bring up about the root plugs because my last three alocasia have not had any which I've been very surprised. But then my last two were from Urban jungle my last one was from Costa. Maybe they're all finally listening.
Yes tps billion is amazing for plants
I too have been finding great success just rinsing the roots off really good throwing it in water The ones that want to die will and it will already be producing new water roots before all the other ones die and I've been having super great success not losing any leaves and then going to pon. I'm just so excited cuz I could never keep an alocasia alive until I started using pawn
So good to hear that!!
some mostly sprinkle the tps billions directly to the roots before potting... love your videos and you're so pretty ☺️ ... Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭...
Thank you so much! 🥹
I had a bisma starter plant from the spring last year, and it grew another corm and sprouted next to the og one, but when I separated them almost a month ago, they both ended up dying 😭😭 I'm actually so sad about it. I order my plants online, so I might try to track down another larger one this time
oh no!! I'm so sorry that happened 🥲
@@plantsbymelissa I was so upset once I realized they were going downhill, but I couldn't stop it 😥 I'll definitely be looking to spent a little bit more money for a plant that's closer to the size that you have! Likely (hopefully) less sensitive than a juvenile starter plant 😬 it had grown quite a bit since I got it too, so I was really sad when it first happened, but lesson learned at least! 🫠😅
Hi Melissa, I love this video. I didn’t know about the lemon cleaning the leaves. Everything looks amazing.❤ would you be able to share your mix for aroid plants . Or the mix that’s in the container.? I remember you saying you don’t like coco coir or bark? I can’t remember.. ThankYou. For sharing..❤
Hi Melissa- just wanted to let you know to look at the ingredients of your TPS. Mine came mixed with sugar and it brought SO MANY ants into my room! They were having a party in my planters and I had to take them outside last summer. I switched to Great White after checking to see their ingredients did not list sugar.
NOOO haha I didn't think of that!! I dealt with an ant infestation last summer. I just looked and it says 98% cane sugar 🫠 I'll have to keep a close eye then and be careful where I use it. I'll look up Great White! I appreciate it!
Melissa, these new plants are beautiful, but the real star is your nail polish 🤣🤣 I NEED it lol I always think it’s so pretty when you have it on! What’s it called?
Thank you so much! I did them myself! It's the Ulta beauty polish line (red carpet manicure) It's called "Envy of the town" You may be able to get it at sally beauty as well 🥰
@@plantsbymelissa yay, thank you!! I’m gonna look for it this weekend🤞🏻
I don't know if it's to early or not yet, but I would LOVE to see an update on your possible little Delta Force seedlings 🥰🌱
I've shown them on insta several times - I'm pretty active in my stories over there! Sometimes it's hard for me to remember where I showed certain plants lol. I'm going to be filming another plant update next month so I will show them again!
@@plantsbymelissa I'll have to check out your instagram more often then lol thank you! Can't wait for the plant update video! 🌱
Hi there!! I just ordered a few things on Amazon from your link!
I am planning to repot a few alocasias I have into pon with the black and white pots you have. One is a frydek that’s on the struggle bus but gives me huge leaves when she does- but will only keep 2-3 leaves at a time- the other is a very thriving regal shield, a Thai con monstera and my favorite plant, which I know you don’t love, but my adansonii albo. They are all in soil now, should I put them in water for a few weeks before transferring? Thoughts/ ideas?
Thanks so much! I LOVE your content!!
Also just found a dang thrips AND spider mites two days ago, I’ve never had pests before and I’m so sad- but we are recovering!
TPS has a lot of good products. I currently use their silica, but have been eyeing the Billions product.
I keep hearing so many good things! Do you like the silica from them?
Yes I do! It helps with highly variegated plants. I have had less withering due to it!@@plantsbymelissa
I found an A. Bisma is Lowe’s last week (in love with her!). Instantly put her in some water with some great white myco. She’s started putting out new roots within a couple days
I've heard of others finding this one at Lowe's!! So happy for you!! I'm glad it's doing well :D
I'm curious why you go from soil to water to pon instead of soil to pon?
Wouldn't it be an easier transition for the roots to go from soil to pon?
It's my understanding that soil roots tend to rot in water, and water roots dry out in anything but water.
Curl up with a good book 📚
Just wondering if you could show the name on the bottle, of fertilizer you added? I'm always curious to know the different fertilizers. Thanks so much, always interesting to watch.
Melissa, I keep my pings in ambient humidity without any issues. Mine is 35% to 40%.
Thank you so much! That's good to know :D
Love the sign!! Does sterilizing pon take away the nutrients it provides the plant, or does it matter since you use a liquid fertilizer? Thanks❤
I didn’t get mine upright either. It leans and if I don’t tilt it back, it drips out the front of the pole into the dogs water bowl. If I tilt it back it drips out of the connections of the pole. It’s really a mess but I don’t want to unpot it.
I didn’t think I would like the 3.0 but after using another brand (Amazon was out of thiccly poles)that leaks water out the back when I water it. But I think I’ve changed my mind for future endeavors
Did you know that you can make your own DIY PON! Equal parts each of lava rock, zeolite, and pumice. Make sure the particles are all the same size. Much cheaper if you can buy larger amounts.
Yes! I have some lava rock, zeolites and pumice on my amazon for DIY pon - I haven't made it DIY though because after doing some research - some argue that it's not really cheaper and just to buy Lechuza. Lechuza claims their pon has the ideal water to air ratio for plants. I'm not sure what the amounts are of each component but I believe there's less zeolite.
So beautiful ❤ I have two Gigas cuttings, and the colour and texture is so gorgeous. The backside of the leaf also has this beautiful colour too ❤ What do you have in your lemon mix that you wash the leafs with?
I had some water mixed in with it! Sometimes I add vinegar but you don't need both. It's sooo velvety!! 😍
Hi Melissa, you said you sprayed the leaves when the plants first arrived, what did you use for the spray please?
I know of two you tubers that use either TPS billions or great white. Both can be watered in or used on the roots, rootball.
Thank you!! I had a couple people recommend it to me so I'm excited to see how it goes. I usually sprinkle some mychorrizae when I repot so this sounds like it has even more benefits!
@@plantsbymelissa and easier if you’re like me and for get to put the mycchorize on the rootball.
Hi Melissa 👋🏼 Your lemon solution is it straight lemon juice? I have some leaves with stubborn stains. I love that Alocasia Platinum. ❤
I would do equal parts with water!
Thanks so much. 😊
Oh my❤❤❤❤ it looks so good. Love your calming voice…(even on sad videos). ❤
Does the lemon juice work on the velvety leaves?
Hi Melissa! Can you tell me what is in the lemon juice mix? :) Only lemon juice + water? Thanks! :)
would it be easier to fill with dry moss and then soak in water?
I was curious if you have ever used the Rousseau moss poles. They are super awesome, my Pothos and monstera love them. They are a bit more user friendly and affordable.
I haven't tired them but being on the creator side I tend to stay away from small business and companies now that offer affiliate links for commission. No offense to Tyler - it's just inauthentic to me to push products that way. Everyone seems to only pushes the Rousseau ones now because they get $$. Gray from thiccly is a super nice guy and I buy his poles off amazon to support his company. He was the first one I know that came out with the clear poles and now there's so many knock offs out there.
Ahhh good to know, I had no idea, but totally makes sense from that perspective. Thank you for sharing 🙏
I'd suggest anyone in a colder climate to order when it gets warmer. They packed them for cold weather shipping but my plants experienced cold damage a day after they arrived. They refunded me so big props to them but just a warning, and if you do order the winter shipping insurance with it! Great company, but the plants are small so they're more susceptible to cold damage. :)
For sure, it's definitely smart to wait if your weather isn't ideal right now :)
@plantsbymelissa Since they offered the insurance I decided to take a chance, it didn't pay off too well. 😅
Pon question. Since the roots haven't gotten down into the reservoir yet, aren't you supposed to treat it like soil and top water for a few weeks, and then after they grow down into the reservoir you fill it with water? Or am I doing it wrong hahah
No, I think that is how you're supposed to do it! I keep a little water because I'm worried it will dry out too fast lol. So far everything has worked out minus the one alocasia I transferred from soil. It rotted really fast.
Melissa, Did you delute the lemon juice? I need to do this but do notwant to ut a straight acid on the leaves?
I added some water :) so probably equal parts!
Did you keep the Anthurium in the soil plug until you transferred it to water? I order from Green Escape very often and I usually just trial and error with my potting lol. I usually repot them right away and remove the plug and so far it’s been okay but I want to learn safer ways to care for my plants upon receiving them.
I put it in water right after the unboxing! the rootball was so small and it didn't have a plug or a pot just some soil wrapped around it and most of it came off after I pulled it away. I could have potted it up right away into a pot with more soil but I am loving semi hydro for anthuriums!
So I know it’s not related to this video but where do you order your beneficial mites from?
i know this isn't the point of the video lol but i love your nails 💚
Thank you so much! The color is Envy of the town by red carpet manicure. I get it at ulta! 💖
10:12 Is it pure lemon juice, or did you mix it with something? 😊
Omg! you have a munybn thermal printer! Please could you do a video on how you set your sizes for the papers! I cannot for the life of me figure it out. Iv tried everything. The app, looked on redit posts and they never fit to 4x6 papaer sheets it comes with. *cried*
I remember it was a NIGHTMARE to get it to work right and trying to set it up. I ended up coming across a pdf file that helped. I don't remember if I saved it I'll have to check. I was about to return it I was so frustrated haha. When I go to print with it I have to change the printer to the Munbyn one since I have a different printer as well and then I change the paper size to 4.00 x 6.00" for it to print shipping labels to size correctly.
hey girl hope u are well with the little gigas will u be selling it or just giving it away its soo cute ill take it or i can buy it to love this video and ur cats omg in the box sooo cute
🥰💚👏🏼🔝
💖🥰
Do you add water to the lemon and if so how much?
do equal parts! :D
Thank you 😊
Is that straight lemon juice
I mixed some water in there! you can do equal parts :D
Since the pole opens in the front why not put the plant on the pole before potting it in the soil
There's no wrong way! I always do is this way and it works for me :)
@@plantsbymelissa that’s great because you have just marvelous poles!
