Hello. Thank you for posting on MAB Grow. I was just wondering if you have done an update on your thought about it and how your plants have gone
I do enjoy your videos!
🙂😃🥰 i love those kinds of plants
🙂😃🥰
I’m a big fan of MAB…over the past year I’ve moved all my plants into it, and they’re loving it.
You can literally use it like soil and just water normally if you don’t want to go semi hydro.
One of the (many) great things about MAB is you don’t get fungus gnats any more.
And it’s endlessly re-usable, so well worth the initial cost.
Hope your plants do great in it too. Love your channel :)
How do you know what size to get? For example philo pastazanum
Thanks for sharing! I have a few thoughts on the MAB which I will share in a future update video, now that I've had some time to see how it's going. :)
Hi Bronwyn. Just wondering if you transferred large plants, ie fiddle leaf fig, monstera, ferns into MAB Grow. Do you find it really heavy or do you just keep the heavy plants in one spot and water them like you would normal plants. Do you have to water every week in summer like you do with soil. Any other info would be great to hear
Hey Margi, the largest one I’ve got is a 20cm pot - and yep it’s pretty heavy! But still do-able for me to carry it to the sink to water.
And you’re right, for something super big you’d probably want to set things up so plants can stay in one spot.
All of my plants (philos, hoyas, aglaeonemas, ficus, peperomia, dracenas, maranta, anthuriums, string of’s, orchids, epiprenmums etc) have all loved MAB. So it’d just be a matter of how much you can reasonably lift that might affect how big you go :)
@@bronwyncox2051 thanks so much for your reply. Just love the plant world, everyone is so friendly 🌸
I can't wait till your channel blows up and you get lots of subscribers. You honestly deserve alot more viewers. I am so glad to be an early follower :) thank you for the content ! X
Thank you so much! x
Hey Judi - wondering if you did an update yet? I'm about to move some of my plants to MAB but keen to see how yours went.
Hi Donna! I haven't made an update video, but basically it didn't work for me. 😂 they dried up way too quickly and my plants ended up just shrivelling and dying. It can be a great substrate for people who tend to over water, or those who struggle with gnats in their soil, but it just didn't work for me because I kept forgetting to top up the water reserves. Would have had to do it at least once a week and my busy life just didn't allow for that. 🙈 Hope this helps!
@@ThatFoliageLife Hey Judi, thanks so much for getting back to me - I have heard this from my friend who uses MAB also but has also moved some of her plants back for the reason you mention - I'm going to only use it for 2 of my plants - a ring of fire that came to me with gnats and the other a Thai pup that has been in MAB all of its life - I think I can keep the reserves up to those two!! Sorry to hear you lost those lovely cuttings - they were lovely!! Have a terrific weekend.
Great job and those cuttings look amazing! Maybe try using some plant Velcro next time instead of the zip ties! Its super gentle on your plants aerial roots and its reusable! 😍
Thanks for the tip! I'll have to see if I can find any. :)
Trying new substrates is exciting - I've recently started with LECA and it's a learning curve haha. Thank you for bringing us on the MAB grow journey! Would love to see an update in a month or two (:
I hope to update on them soon! How are you going with leca? x
Wow, all those plants look amazing. Im glad you are branching out to try new things with your plants. I have been wanting to try a new medium for some of my own plants, but to be honest i dont want to use lecca and was contemplating using pon, but i am very interested to see how your plants take to the mab. I have never heard of it before, and i wish you all the best with it. Looking forward to seeing an update on it and what your thoughts are about it too. I hope you have had a beautiful weekend and have a wonderful week ahead 🌺
Thanks Sally! I hope to update in a video soon, now that I've had some time to see how my plants take to it. :)
I've been experimenting with MAB for a few months and have been surprised at how well the plants adjust. New subscriber here, looking forward to seeing more of your content. I really enjoyed this video 😊
I just ordered some. Do you have any alocasia in MAB?
@@marvindacat sure do, and they've never looked better. I find MAB great for plants that have been unwell with either pests or rot. It seems to hasten recovery time.
@@bronwynhamilton6024 great! I have some coming tomorrow, so I'm excited to try.
How did you guys go with your MAB??
@@ThatFoliageLife Still loving MAB. I've extended my use to anthurium seedlings and some veggie seedlings. I've had to keep an eye on them and pull back from the semi hydro options due to the cold, but life is an experiment I guess.
Where did you get your white cache pots? Probably Bunnings lol. I need some.
Yes very excited if it goes well and If it does work for you then I’m going to try it on some of my plants 🪴 would it be like pond mixer ??🤔
I don't actually know, I can't say I have ever seen pond mixer, but MAB is crushed rock, so you may or may not be able to substitute it...?
How did they adjust once u put them in? All OK?
I will update in a video in the coming weeks. :)
How do u reuse it? How do u disinfect/sterilise it? My MAB grown algae on it. It looks disgusting.
I can't say for sure as I haven't had to do it, but it is loose and easy enough to wash out and drain.
We're do you get the MAB from?
With the water in the pot how are you going with mosquitoes?
I got it from Dr. Greenthumbs, and I haven't seen any mosquitoes anywhere around my pots of water. :)
What medium in the US is similar to yours?
I think leca does the same thing, it will just be larger particles.
