How do you clean the wicks if the pots are in the dishwasher?
I replace them with new wicks if I plan to repot my plant
I find putting the plant in stratum and perlite first waiting a few weeks and then switching to pon works best or they get all dramatic on me 😂
I agree! Stratum or water.
@@RainbowMonsterxx33 perlite is very similar to pon, so it's a nice way to transition. When I transfer, i usually don't give it water right away. That seems to help with mine
Agreed. Stratum is magic 🪄 and seems to work to jump start just about anything I put in it for any length of time. Lol
Then they will usually thrive in pon afterwards. 👁️❤️🪴🪴🪴🪴
@@princesspretty4520 my scalprum threw a fit when I moved it over, and I’ve had issues with zebrina as well those are the only two though really so far
@@otaku.plants yess perlite has been my go to always. I just recently started using Fluval because of your experiences with it and others as well.
Could you do a video on fertilizer. I've heard with pon you need to add extra like cal mag. Silica. I use foliage pro. I have extremely hard well water so I use a zero water filter that's why I add in the cal mag and silica with foliage pro k to give back the extra minerals that I'm missing with my foliage pro in that water but would love to see a video on you and your mom talking about fertilizing with alocasia
@@wendib6028 Try swapping to foilage focus. It has a good balance of minerals for your plants. Especially with Anthurium, alocasia & Philodendron. Begonia and other varieties don't like it as much. I can certainly touch base on this in a future video. 🥰
Thank you for your tips for plants with edema! I have (hopefully soon had) that exact problem with my pink bambino and couldn't find a proper solution - till now! 😊🤩
@@katharinawagner4950 same with mine. They are so fussy. Ugh glad this was helpful information for you
I just got a pink black velvet and many are recommending stratum or pon, but never used it before. The velvet has soil roots. 😅very very nervous. This is my first very rare alocasia.
@dragonfruit969 personal advice, do the type of planting you're comfortable with. We both use pon alone for mature plants. We only use the stratum and pon for corms and baby plants. You're going to have more sucess doing what you're comfortable and more familiar with.
@@otaku.plants I never thought of that. This whole week I tried using stratum but rotted my Alocasias, yet I haven't watered it. Thank you for letting me know, many have been trying to convince me to use a different substrate for my pink velvet but I struggle with pon and stratum. This was very helpful, thank you.
@dragonfruit969 of course, yeah my best advice for everyone, is always do what you're confident & comfortable with. Practice with substrates with other plants you don't mind losing. 😉
@@otaku.plants that's a good idea thank you so much!
@@dragonfruit969 Anytime
What type of pots are those (which brand, where to buy)
We use quite a few different kinds. Clear self Watering planters from Amazon. 6-Pack 5 Inch Self Watering Pots... www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7BMCSDX?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I Love that you do this with your mom 🫶🏼 great video!
@@KC-gj4bi 🥰 Thank you. She's moving right now. So she hasn't been able to answer comments. It's nice doing this with eachother
What is edeema?
@elmarieodendaal2495 edema is when the roots absorb too much water, causing the leaves to become translucent.
Does this work if you don't use the wick? I have heard Pon pulls a water like a sponge?
@sj4890 you can use pon without a wick. You just water through the Planter when it's like 90% dry give or take. The wick works perfectly for us though
I always enjoy your videos! Would you happen to have a link for the beneficial bugs or the specific title? Im battling thrips as we speak. 😢
@princesskenja89 a.co/d/0firCj36 here you go. Let me know if it doesn't work 🥰
NewHybrid maybe you 2 can create mixing the varieties in ur collection good luck i hope you try hard and have much success. 🎉
@salvadorrodriguez1980 my mom has been trying to play around with this. Super difficult. I'd die if we made our own alocasia
Hi Taz! Love videos with your mom! The music is distracting while your mom is talking :( plants look great! Hope you’re well and will show us your imports soon!❤🪴
???Question for mom when you put new plant in pon and soil roots die do you remove them from pon? Does it disturb plant too much? Thank you!❤
I was wondering the same about the roots dying off. I'm thinking maybe after the first month or so you'd have to take the plant out and clean the pon out completely.
@@thumpaharley7564 once she sees good new roots I believe she typically cleans them off to avoid rot and bacteria growth. It's hard to gauge music volume on my phone. Sorry. It was at a level 3 my moms volume was 400. I will just remove it next time. Thank you
@@stephanierene3537 yeah I would. I will tell her to come look at comments to give her advice too
Hi there. Good question. Yes, I typically give them a few weeks then I remove the plant from Pon and take out all the rotting roots and then I repot. Most of the time if there are a lot of rotting roots I actually just use fresh pon as I find it easier than rooting through the old pon trying to search out all the rotting bits. 😂
I love that you share this hobby with your mom! She is such a gem. That you both for the knowledge shared. It is greatly appreciated
Thank you for saying so, we love doing this. Plants are so exciting to work with!
Thank You So Much For Getting This Video Up So Quick For Us. I Watched Your Moms Advice With The Bambino. Quick Question - She Says To Leave The Reservoir Dry. Does She Mean For Ever Or Only Until The Bambino Gets More Mature?! Another Awesome Video Btw - Thanks To You Both!!
Hi there. My mature bambino is doing extremely well with about a half inch of water in her reservoir now so yes, once mature try a bit of water and see how she does. I get a bit of edema but nothing serious for the most part.
@jaxsonn4 I leave mine dry until the pon itself dries out or until the edema subsides. She leaves the reservoir dry and never fills it. She will pour water through her pot once a week give or take. Did that answer the question? You're so welcome. I am glad the advice was helpful. 🥰
💚💚💚
SUCH a great video! Thank you!
Have you had issues with mold growing on top of the pon? I don't think it's ever overly wet but yet you can see the white pore layer on top.... thoughts?
@Laura-Ransan yes! I am dealing with this on like 4 of my bigger plants in pon. I've tried EVERYTHING. Next I'm going to do a mineral flush. When it dries out. Or hydrogenperoxide spray down! It is driving me crazy. I plan to do a video about pon and flushing etc
@@otaku.plants awesome 💜 thank you so much!
@@Laura-Ransan you're so welcome 😊
What is her fertilizer routine? And what does she use?
@@Rose_and_feathers_mama similar to me. We micro water our plants. Foilage Focus.
really enjoy both of you together!! so much knowledge. may i ask where you buy your pon and do you make your own? is there a video on it? thanks!!! tons!!
@@ttschrock7126 I am going to make my own pon video once my family returns home. I will talk all about it. I mix 2 kinds together for my plants. I do use lechuza though as my main+
@@ttschrock7126 thank you for enjoying & supporting us
What does the edema look like on the silver dragon scale plants?
Hi there. I find if you look under the leaves on silver dragons or dragon scales you can see edema very clearly. It’s like water logging on the edges of your leaves. 🌸
Amazing video!!! I love watching! Can you please share a link for the beneficials that you guys use?
@@stephanierene3537 I will have her come send a link for you tomorrow. She's busy moving right now, it's been chaos! Thank you
Hi there. Let me know if that link doesn’t work. 🌸 They are awesome bugs.
@@Alocasia_BridgetI'm not seeing the link anywhere.
@@stephanierene3537 a.co/d/0firCj36 here you go 🩷
Where can I find cabinets like those? Are they ikea converts, another brand or were they made that way?
@@chucktwnkid they are milsbo tall ikea cabinets ❤️
@@otaku.plants thank you so much
@@chucktwnkid you're welcome 😊
I just got an maharani albo last week and i put it in pon. I have noticed that the roots are a little bit brownish.. is this normal? The water isn’t touching the roots. It’s right below the roots. I’m scared it’s going to die😢 the leaf seems to be doing fine though
@thaniacisneros5785 I don't like brown roots. But it could be killing off the old roots to make space for new ones. Keep checking on the stem. If it gets less stiff, then it's probably not doing well. Maybe give it a day to dry up a little. Then refill the basin. It's hard to day really. If the leaf looks okay, I'd say, give it time. But I also don't want to give you incorrect information.
@@otaku.plants I pulled it out of its pots today and one of the roots came off easily. Would you put yours in perlite and stratum? Or just keep it in pon?
@thaniacisneros5785 if keep it in pon! Alocasia seem to thrive in pon. Just put it in pon. Spray with a little fresh water and leave it until the next day. Needs to dry a little. Then refill with fresh water
@@otaku.plants sounds good! Thanks for your help😊
@@thaniacisneros5785 you're welcome. Let me know how it goes 😊
4:08 I grow my corms in pon ❤. No stress them when I repot.
I do use stratum sometimes.
@@KayBX so do it! They sometimes stress for me though. Just the new space and having to re-attach to the substrate can be stressful 😢
@@otaku.plants I can understand:). I have anthurium seedlings and I’m going to try different substrates to see what’s best :).
@@KayBX thats a great idea!
Love these vids!

I adore your mom. I was wondering what the brand is for the pots your mom uses. Thanks!
