I feel like a lot of these big box stores have regular potting soil not necessarily the proper soil. Adding pumice and worm castings is a good idea. My rule of thumb is if the soil stays super wet for 5 or more days that’s a sign that it’s too dense and holds too much water
I agree, thanks for sharing. 💚
Finding pumice locally is a living nightmare for me lol one place asked me what it's made of...I hung up before I got really sarcastic 😅
🤦🏽♀️
Yup ! My peacock plant wasn’t doing well . It was in a 6 inch pot with not a lot of roots around the pot for a 6 inch pot .. I kept 4 good leaves 🍃 and most of the roots and put it in a 4 inch pot .. I hope it Survives
The plants are in media that suits the plant in grow houses. I have moved all of my plants from costa farm's cocopeat and I think that may have been a mistake. Their cocopeat is always soft and fluffy so next time I purchase a plant, I think I will amend the soil as you suggested since cocopeat has no nourishment and put the plant back in it to see how it does. I have lost so many plants due to repotting so I am going to learn to leave some of these plants alone.
My moonlight is finally growing fantastic. It took a few months to get going. The new growth first unfurled crappy but is acclimated and trailing now, putting out perfect, large, healthy, leaves. I let them dry out completely. I wait until the leaves curl under a bit before watering. I use an airy soil mix, I let it dry out completely, my house is 40-50% humidity, it’s in a terra-cotta pot AND I have it a few feet away from a window that gets a lot of morning sun, I find the leaves get a weird yellow hue if it gets to much direct sun. Those are my tips.
Thanks for the tips for all of us! Looking forward to see them grow and be happy!
I’ve been finding a lot of these trending topicals have mesh around the roots. Check them!
Thanks!!
The soil looks like pure coco coir!! No perlite, pumice, rocks of any kind!!
I have found plants in 6in pots to be in two 2in plastic containers underneath the soil choking out the roots. Happened twice from my store. Always check the soil.
Thank you for your video! I've been trying to find a video specifically about the soil I'm finding in these plants and many others I've bought from big box stores. They all are using coco coir type soil and it seems to not have good drainage so I've been contimplating repotting. Please give an update on how yours is doing, if it's grown. Also thanks for comparing soil! Super helpful video
@@mwoods4608 Which is a perfect storm for root rot! (They are in the market to sell you another plant when yours dies from root rot.)
That was so fun to watch💚! 🤔Uhm I gotta keep an eye on my Treubii. I say do not repot the other one and let’s see what happens. In a year from now… that would be a GREAT EXPERIMENT.
Hi🙋🏾♀️
I FINALLY found a Beautiful Costa Farms Moonlight Treubii at my local Lowes. It was the last one just sitting there waiting for me☺️
I'm going to take your advise and repot it ASAP! Thanks for the informative video🍃🌱🌿💚💚
Nice! So excited for you! Thanks for watching!! Enjoy your baby!! 💚💚💚
Love your back yard looks so relaxing 💚 🤗!!
Thanks!
I commented once about your sound, and to have you point out that your attempting something to fix it makes me so happy 😊 💖
Thank you for letting me know! I will improve!!! 💚💚💚😊
Excellent video. Most people “talk” about root rot, but you SHOWED the rot, visually identified the rotted roots AND gave a tip on how to manage it after you find them. So very well done, thank you so much. I also appreciate the visual on the soil it came in in comparison to the soil your going to use and why you chose that soil. Microphone works great. I heard everything you said clearly.
Thank you so much!! Appreciate you positive comments!! 💚💚💚
Enjoyed this repotting video very much! You and your husband are the best team ever! I picked up mine at Walmart about 6 weeks ago. She has been growing and has 4 new leaves that should be unfurling soon. After watching your video I took a closer look at the soil. I think it is possibly holding on to moisture a little bit too long. I paid roughly $16.00 for her and it is a full pot. She’s lovely and I adore her. She sits about four feet from a floor to ceiling window and she gets light from the East. I think your video has saved her from some struggles down the road. 😊. Many thanks and happy growing from Charlotte, NC! 👏🌿🥰💚
Ahhh! Thank you! Your so keep sweet!
Some of the Costa Farms plants are planted in cocoa coir only. I'm sure that it is soaked well before shipping, but then it dries out ,and when you water them the water flows right thru and your plant will remain in dry coir. I check all my plants now.
Love your ambient looking patio ! Those sheer curtains are so cool looking. Looks like the perfect place to relax and enjoy the plants with some shade too . I also stock up when I find a cool plant at a big box store . I’ll get 3-4 and give a couple to friends too ❤️❤️❤️
I love your energy! I wouldn’t have thought twice if your video hadn’t popped up, so thank you. I usually pop a couple (don’t laugh) tampons into the soil of any new plants when I bring them home from a big box store. It helps dry them out quicker and acclimate to not being overwatered, lol
Thanks for the tip! Makes sense! I would of never of thought of that idea to dry the soil faster! 👍😆
First time viewer and thank you for a great video. I ordered a rooted cutting off Etsy, received it the week of July 4th. I had watched countless videos and googled info about this plant and its care. My take away was to treat it more like a succulent, and you’ll have better success. So I got an orchid pot, I planted the cutting in a cactus/bark/perlite mix and that sets in a terra cotta cache pot (no drainage hole). She has dried up 2 or 3 times and I’ve soaked her and let her dry out again. I’ve had her for 5 weeks today and have 3 new leaves. Since it’s August, I’m able to use rain water and haven’t given her any fertilizer yet. I have her on my 3 season, north side of the house porch. She gets Morning dappled sun and seems to be living her best life.
One problem I’ve had in the past is the bottom of the pot gets so water logged. I’ve switched my soil components since then to include even a little bit more perlite to the bottom inch of soil than the rest of the pot, it seems to help. The second thing is, I’m switching to the clear/white-ish pots and some netted pots (orchids) to help with air flow on sansevierias and other plants that want to dry out.
Maybe there’s an update video on your beautiful moonlight that I haven’t come across yet?
Thanks for sharing these tips! I will do a houseplant tour soon where I can show it. It’s been a slow grower in my experience. It’s a great idea to put her outside in my porch when it’s good weather, the plants I have done that to grow so much faster. 💚
Good to see you. Have ordered that soil. Looking forward to trying it. My scindapsis silver splash is doing nothing. Let's hope new soil will help.
Don't try potting soil. Try coco coir, orchid bark chips, warm castings?perlite, and charcoal pieces or pumice . And she should do well. Try hanging in a west facing window or table. It may need sunlight or nutrients
Treubia is a slow grower, I haven’t repotted mine an it’s doing fine an even growing. Some plants have temperamental roots an best too leave it alone. Good luck with your Treubia 😀
I agree it's best to let them acclimate when you first bring them home. The only time I would re-pot is if the soil has a bad smell.
And yes I’m ready for an outdoor garden tour!!!
Ok Martha, I hear ya! It’s coming soon!
Love your oasis in the background. I hurried up and change the soil on my babies you were right.The tip when shaking the plant was perfect thanks.You save my babies from drowning.Lol the sound is perfect. Happy Growing and stay safe.
Glad to hear you found the video useful! It will be fun to see how they grow for all of us! Glad your liked my backyard, we have recently worked on it. I will be doing a before and after video of my back patio soon! Hope you enjoy!☺️
Just got one of those two days ago. I repotted immediately because I am very skeptical of big box store soil. So far so good. Hope your plants grow and thrive.
Thank you!! My plants are doing great too! Thank you for shearing your experience! 💚💚💚
I love the video as usual Diane all the good information
Thank you Julie!💚
You always are so blessed w/finding the best rare plants, I'm so jealous, no really I'm happy for you. I haven't been as blessed so far finding many rare plants where I live at the moment so, no Moonlight Treubii for me, yet but I totally understand your buying four of them. I def would have done the same as I also love giving plants away to my friends and sometimes I just like to pot two or three plants together to make it nice and lush and full if they're small plants to begin with. I enjoy potting vids so, thanks for sharing yours and I look forward to your next one. Have a blessed rest of your day!😇
P.S. Just wanted to mention how nice and relaxing your backyard is, great job! It's beautiful.
Thanks! I will make a more detailed video on my backyard makeover soon..and hope the moonlight arrive’s to your area soon!💚💚💚
Thank you so much love planting with you I’m getting ready to plant my moonlight also I would like to say the outside of your home is absolutely gorgeous you’re plenty friend Heather🌿
Thanks so much Heather!! 💚💚💚💚
I found this at Walmart about a month or so ago. Mine is doing great. Has new growth. I have it about 12 feet from a south facing window. But I think the big thing is my plant food. Jack's 15-30-15 all purpose house plant food. Most of my plants do good with this. But the fun part is I found this plant in the clearance section because it was not it a Costa farms decorative pot. 😊
Wow!!!! That’s a great deal! And thanks for the tips! 👍
Happy too see someone else singing praises of Jacks! Other wise use to be Peters the best fertilizer ever made 😀
Thanks for sharing your plants are beautiful I just started to watch your channel 😀love the information you provides about the soil the care and where you shop ,the sound is great 👍🏼
Welcome and thank you for the feedback!💚
Thank you for this video. Everyone else always explains the drainage of soil kind of confusing. The way you made me understand through this video has me thinking of the way in need to change how I do things. I can save more plants this way.
Great! Glad that I can help you!! 😊💚💚💚
Thank you for sharing, your patio looks fabulous.
Thanks! Patio transformation video coming soon! 😆🪴💚
I just found one of those plants. I have transplanted it to a hanging planter yesterday. Thanks your mic 🎤 sounds great 👍🏽
Thanks!! 💚💚
Dianna it is so true some plants dont grow n you woke up my attention in those plants now i will do what you shared your the best in showing love your sincere oh i Love you home your porch the lights n chair on the back all looks so cozy n romantic plus your pool yous have just enjoy it all thank you dear sister 🥰😍🤩
Awww!! 🥰 thanks!! Your so sweet!! 😊💚💚💚
Yes! I got 2 of them in my Lowe's here in University area and they are doing great, not re-potting them yet but, they are under a grow light and I am very happy!🥰😌☺️
So glad you found it!!!!! 🎉 💚
Your backyard is so pretty. I love that macrame chair in the back 😍. I need to repot my treubii. Mine hasn’t grown much either and I’ve had it for a few months now.
Thank you so much!!💚💚💚
YES! I bought one from lowes a few weeks ago. I decided to check the roots a few days after I brought it home and there was a little bit of rot starting. I hadn't even watered it myself yet. Not only did I find the soil staying too wet but also the pot was too big for the root system imo. I removed the mushy roots, downsized the pot, replaced the soil, and treated it with a fungicide and it seems to be doing great now
Good tips! Great to hear it’s doing good now!
THANK YOU mine was dying and ill do this thanks.
The store overwatering has nothing to do with when it left the farm. A lot of big box stores will over water or under water.
Love your tips. They are very helpful.
Thank you!! 💚💚💚
Thank you for this video! It has answered so many questions I’ve had for awhile. I’ve bought a lot of big box store plants that I’ve had to rescue.
Thank you for watching!! 😊😊💚💚💚
I had to repot mine, too. It started getting hello leaves and the new growth wasn't unfurling. I repotted and found root rot, treated it with peroxide and planned in an Aroid mix I make, and it's so much happier already!
Great to hear! Thanks for sharing!
This was very relaxing to watch and listen to while I work! 🪴😩
Lol! I love find relaxing watching plant videos as well! Hope your have a good evening!
I have a couple of these plants from Costa. My Birkin looks great, but it seems like I haven't gotten a lot of new growth. I hate to repot plants until I have to, but I also feel like their soil mix attracts pests.
I just purchased this from costa farms and mine too had yellowing leaves. All the leaves were like the newer leaves too. I will be repotting today. Thanks for the heads up! I enjoy all your videos. Can you do an update on your Siltepecanas? I would love to see how they are doing. I purchased one from Steve’s leaves and it should be coming soon🙃🪴
Thanks!! 💚😊💚😊💚
the treubii are such gorgeous plants! 😍😆
Thanks! 💚💚💚
New sub here. Great timing! I've had my moonlight for about a month too and it's ready to be repotted I think. The growth is super slow. So far it has unfurled one healthy leaf and a couple more are about to unfurl soon. No yellow leaves. It came with fungus gnats when I got it. One of the cuttings they put in there didn't root and the leaf curled up. Otherwise it looks healthy.
I was about to repot the other day with miracle gro and perlite but found bugs in the MG so glad you have a good soil rec!
The microphone is great btw. I can hear you clearly
Thank you and welcome!! Happy to hear that your MT are doing well! 😊
I love your out door. It's so cool.
Thanks!
New to your channel, thanks for the repotting video, it’s always motivating. Off to go repot a couple this am
Hi!!! Welcome!!💚👍
Love love repotting videos, thanks!
Glad you enjoyed!💚
Thanks for the repot and The Mic.
Thank you!!
THANK YOU for making this video! I too bought the same plant from Costco and she's not doing that great so I am re-potting ASAP!
Thank you for watching!!! 😊
I have 2 from Lowe’s and I haven’t repotted them. I have them outside in a small Amazon greenhouse that I keep the door rolled up. My plants have grown a ton but I live in Georgia and they get plenty of sunshine and humidity.
Thank you for this video! I just bought One of these at Lowe’s today. I’ll keep an ion it and re-pot if necessary.
Another great video! Thanks 😊
Thanks!!! 💚💚💚
Your scenery is amazing!
Thanks!💚
sounds good.
Love it ❤️ can’t wait to get my moonlight
💚💚💚
Thanks a lot Diana I did bought 2 of those treubii and yes I noticed that they are not doing nothing!!! I will repot them as easy as u did thanks🪴🙌🏻
Great! Glad to hear that!! Happy growing!!!😊💚💚💚
Thank you for the tips I just started mixing my own soil with perlite and orchid mix and it's done wonders for my plants, most of the soil that the plants come with are to heavy and stay too wet especially in the winter months, it took me awhile to figure out why many of my plans weren't thriving,or even dying, but now I've got it...👍😃
I love that mix too!!!💚
I had the exact same issue. Could t figure out what I was doing wrng. Now that I mix my soil with all 3 aswell, it seems to have been a game changer already.
Your sound is great!
Thanks!!!
I got one of these from Walmart for about 17 bucks. Haven't repotted it yet but it's putting out new leaves for me! I also haven't watered it since that soil is so heavy and holds moisture. Learned that lesson with a moonlight sanseveria when I was newer!
So glad to hear yours is happy and growing! Enjoy!
I just bought 2 pots of this scindapsus Trubeii in Lowe's (Calgary, Alberta) just an hour ago for CA$25.00.
Most of the windows in my apt. Are northern facing, but being in FL helps with brightness. I have my costa treubii on my desk infront of the window and they're doing great! I water when the leaves start to curl/lose succulence :)
Nice! Great care tips! Thanks!! 💚💚💚
I also purchased a Sterling Silver at Walmart in Aug. 21. Last one! It did nothing until late October. I now have 3 stems that are nicely fining. I love this plant. Going back tomorrow to Lowe's and Walmart to see if I can score some crazy good finds. Love your vids!
Hi! Thanks! It’s fun hunting for plants that will make our heartbeat just a little faster!💚👍
Thank you for the microphone! Sound was 👌🏼
Thanks!!!😊💚😊💚😊💚
I just bought one and after taking it home, I found some additional problems. I knew the soil was oversaturated, but I didn’t see any pests. I quarantined it at home, and thank god I did, because it had some bugs. I repotted it ASAP. I’m glad I’m not the only one struggling
😔thanks for letting me know… 😔
What kind of bugs? I found one at Lowes today but didn't buy it because I saw millipedes near the drainage holes! 😱 I'm wondering if it was just that particular Lowes, or if it's coming from the Costa Farms nursery....
Nice plants, I subbed with your channel.
Welcome!💚
Thank you for posting this video. May I ask, what do you do with the old soil?
Hi! I usually just dump it somewhere in outside yard.
I’ve bought costa farm plants that are full of cuttings with very little root! It’s a bit frustrating. 🤦♀️
😞🤦🏽♀️💚
I bought the very same plants and will be transpotting next week . I kinda feel that most plants you buy should be transpotted although I cant be sure . Enjoy your videos , thank you .
Thanks!! 💚😊💚
I love your huge tree next to your house 😉
Thanks! I’m in love with the mature trees in our backyard…that one must be over 100 years old I’m thinking !💚
The mic sounds great
Beautiful plants.
Thanks!! 😅😊💚💚💚
Thank you for this video, great advice to change the soil and check the roots. I have lost about 5 different plants from Costa Farm in the last two months. I even emailed Costa Farm thinking it was the coir used on the plants. They never answered my inquiry. Last week I went to the big box stores were I bought the plants and saw the white ceramic pots were filled with rain water. When I ask the employee, she said “they are short staffed and can’t empty the water in the pots” . Then I realized that probably the plants I bought had root rot and although I took them out of the ceramic pot I didn’t check the roots. They are beautiful plants at good prices but if they had not been taken care properly at the store garden we are loosing our money when buying them. I have a collection of pictures I took of all the different plants drowning in water. Too sad.
,
That’s very true…I have seen them overwatered also and sitting in their shipping boxes for days and sometimes left outside in winter…Maybe a good idea would be to keep the receipt and many stores like Lowe’s can refund us the money if they go down hill and can’t be saved. Buy it is a pitty such beautiful plants are lost from not receiving proper care.
Some of my Moonlights have been getting yellow leaves too so I will be repotting them in Miracle Grow myself mixed with perlite. It's weird how some do great in their original dirt and others don't. You just have to wait and see, but the key is to not wait too long. Lost my Watermelon Peperomia due to not knowing this but my Pilea has done great in its original dirt. It's a learning process and sometimes you kill a plant or two along the way, but that's what it's all about. Experience comes with time and we all are still learning.
I totally agree! Well said!💚
I've been bottom watering all of my scindapsus now because they seem to be very sensitive to overwatering
I was at a big box store and saw it well in love, i brought it home and noticed it had mealy bugs 😅 so its been like a month and a half It’s still isolated and i regularly check it for mealy’s but its been having a lot of growth even thou i haven’t repot it. I “disinfected” the soil it came with by placing it in a bucket of water with hydrogen peroxide and i sprayed it with dawn dish-soap. I need soil tips to repot it
Hi, I hope the tips I shared in the video help. I usually add at least 30 percent perlite to a houseplant soil to allow more air flow to the roots.
I have been finding these plants at my local Krogers and my shingling plant rotted all of it’s roots off due to the awful soil and overwatering. Now when I buy plants from there I immediately repot when I get home.
You are right! 💚😊💚
Mine too! All my plants have fungus from my Kroger because they are delivered wet and then put indoors and don’t dry out.
@@Jenoveryonder replant them into a chunky mix as soon as you get them. I did it with my rik rak cactus. string of hearts and string of turtles and they are growing like crazy now. I don’t know if my shingle plant will make it. I let my rik rak cactus lay out on the table first and then remove the old dirt. It was soaked.
I’ve found that mine loves low light, it’s getting northern sun. When it gets high light it stopped growing. I also only water when the leaves curl.
Thanks for the recommendation!! Appreciate it!! 😊💚💚💚
I got these at Lowes...all doing great in the same pot.
Great! Thanks for shearing!! 😊
The fox farms ocean forest is my favorite houseplant soil. I lucked out and got a moonlight for $6 today at Walmart because they outer pot had a tiny crack in it.
I will have to try the ocean Forrest! And wow $6!!!! Great deal!!!
I found this out and since cutting away the netting a bit, the plant is coming back ( fern )
I just got a truebii yesterday at a Home Depot. I repotted today to get it to same potting medium as the rest cause I’m a somewhat badish over waterer, there was surprisingly no mesh around the roots.
Great! Enjoy your new baby!! 😊💚💚
Well... I just bought this Moonlight yesterday $20...6in pot... very nice!! At Lowe's... I paid $20 for hoya krimson queen..and $16 for a Hoya Pubicalyx... so I've spent my limit..for the newyear!! Gonna repot my Moonlight next couple weeks... that soil is different 😳
I use Miracle grow cactus and orchid mix together for all my plants....it works fine!!
Great!! Thanks for letting us know!! Appreciate it!! 💚😊💚😊
I had to travel an hour away to get one lol. But yes I bought 2 of them!! I wanted more, but I was broke from other plants, mainly getting two cebu blues!
That great!! Thanks for shearing!!💚💚💚
I love Fox Farms . I use the Coco Loco from them. I mix it with lots of pumice and perlite for my succulents. And I mis just a little perlite and pumice for non succulent plants . Great soils from them . I’ll try Happy Frog too 😊
Yes! Thanks for letting me know!!! 😊💚😊💚😊
Good grief, I just wanna hug that big tree :)
Thanks I do too! Love it!
I got one yesterday for $4.87! It was originally 19.87! It was in perfect condition just overwatered. (Walmart). I’ve repotted in fresh potting mix blended with lots of Perlite.
Oh wonderful! What a great price!
Root rot will spread QUICKLY. You probably know more than me but I’d just make sure to keep an eye on it😊 just from my experience. Love your videos!!
Thanks! And I will keep my eye 👁 on them!
Thanks so much for this! I have found exactly the same thing and I think you are saying something important. I understand why the growers use coco coir -- the poor plants in the big box stores do not always get watered regularly or well. But our homes are an entirely different situation. Since coco coir seems to be everywhere now, I am thinking twice and thinking hard about the old advice to leave a plant in it's nursery pot until it is acclimatized to growing in a home.
I think what I will do, is leave it for a week or 2 in their original pot and soil, after that, if the soil doesn’t dry after a week I will consider repotting it, specially if it looks sad. I will be careful not to mess with the roots too much if possible. Glad to be putting our experience together to learn from!💚
@@plantheartbeats ohhh ok, so u thunk a week or so should be when to change. I ask because I'm a new plant mom, and I personally (with only little knowledge and experience as of so far) think changing the soil has been a game changer in keeping my plants alive. However with that being said, I just brought a green Dragon skale home 2 days ago, it deff has some damage , my guess is over watering. One big leaf has yellow spots and another yellowing FRM the tip on. I'm obviously worried, and really want to change the soil into a better draining soil as soon as possible, but am also terrified to shock it. But I knw something needs to be dun. Some keep sayin still, to leave it but I just DnT knw..... What do u think ???? I could really use the help!
Omg. I had bought a couple as well. I repotted and I think soil stayed too moist because of the pot. It has 6 leaves left. The other I just repotted along with the 6 other leaves because they both had some root rot. Now it is in well draining soil although I thought it was in well draining soil before. 😳 my fingers are crossed!!! Would love to know how yours are doing!!
Hey Madeline! Follow me in Instagram I will post an update in my story
Recently I bought 2 different Begonias @ Lowes and discovered that both had a fabric around the roots which I discovered bc the plants wrre not doing well. When I repotted them is when I discovered the fabric around the roots. The roots could not grow thru the fabric.
Oh no! Thanks for the tip! 💚
You all are so lucky to have access to Costa farms plants at the big boxes. I don't! :(
I’m sorry about that! 😔
I noticed my treubii wasn't growing much in the soil it came in. I put it in my aroid mix, and now it's got some new growth after about 2 weeks in the new soil. I did buy a second one but that was last week, I'll wait a few weeks and see
That’s interesting to hear. Thanks for sharing!💚
@@plantheartbeats I figured it had to be the potting soil it came in. You never know for sure how long it's been in there or how much of the slow release fertilizer is still viable. Oh, and the first treubii I got was the very last one and was in need of some TLC, I bought it, got it home, watered it and left it alone til it needed more water. It still looks a little bit beat up but that new growth is spectacular
One of my friends who works in a nursery said that the treubii has challenges adapting to new environments. She told me this over a year ago and it was not in reference to ones not grown by Costa Farms. I bought one of the CF ones in the winter when they first arrived here in Colorado. I've never witnessed a plant die so fast. I have one leaf remaining in leca. I did just purchase another one since the weather is warmer here. It seems ok but I watch it pretty carefully.
Hi! Seams like a lot of the truebii’s sold in winter by CF sadly didn’t make it. Hopefully, we will be able to save the spring and summer ones. Thanks for sharing!💚
I use FoxFarm Ocean Forest but I like Happy Frog too. For anyone looking for it, if you have a hydroponic grow store near you they often carry higher quality soils like this. They also have all kinds of other goodies: worm castings, net pots, leca, nutrients galore.
Good to know! Thanks!! 😊💚💚💚
Can we get an update on the variegated monstera you found please!!??
Ok! I will try to do an update on it soon!
I have had mine for 6 months and has not put out a single new leaf. It had some trouble adjusting and I actually lost a few leaves. I guess I’m going to finally repot it 😐
Yea! Check the roots!! Maybe too much roots or maybe to wet…
Nice to meet u. May I ask what’s ur local area
Hello! Im in the Greenville, North Carolina area
Thank you for the inspiration! Yes please cut the yellow leaves!!! Takes energy away from the healthy ones but makes me nuts to see🤪
Thanks!! 💚💚💚
I'm not new to house plants, but new to watering all the way through. I changed most all my plants to a mix of a small amount of Pete moss, a lot of pearlite and orchid bark and some charcoal. I still feel like my plants are not drying out fast enough. I've had a couple get root rot. It gives me so much anxiety, but I also don't know what I done wrong because technically my soil should be more airy than what you used today. Any suggestions?
Hmm…sounds like a good mix…Some possibilities can be The size of the pot… if it’s too big maybe no enough roots to soak up the water… lower the amount of Pete moss??? The pot being used? I normally use a potting soil for indoor and outdoor plants with 30 percent or more of perlite and 20 percent of orchid bark (Miracle grow that has some charcoal) I adjust slightly according to the plant. I love terracotta pots because they allow the soil to dry faster. Hope this helps.💚
@@plantheartbeats yes it does thank You! I can't believe I didn't think of downsizing the pot!!
I have had 2 from costa for about 4 months ( I got one and then another about a month later to experiment) and they are a pain in the you know what. I bought because I have an exotica and argyraeus and they are stupid easy so I assumed this would be too. When I first got them the tips went brown pretty much right away even though I had them near a humidifier. It finally stopped after a few weeks for both. I repotted the second one I got hoping to have a stronger one that didnt crisp up but it is fairing worse, it gets yellow leaves often to the point where half the leaves are gone and has no new growth. The one I still have in Costa soil is doing slightly better, it gets new growth but when a new leaf pops up an old one yellows... I water both only when the leaves have slightly curled but it takes a long time to dry out.. the one I repotted is in 50 50 cactus mix and perlite. I am afraid to remove the one from nursery soil because the fate of the one I repotted. I wonder how yours is doing after a repot? I was hoping to wait until spring to do so and put half the plant in leca and the other half in the soil mix you used. I hope it lives that long. If they don't survive I will not rebuy this plant. I have 20 something plants and have never had as much of an issue before. Its crazy! Every care article I read before buying made it seem pretty straight forward and somewhat simple. It is not.
(I didnt find any mesh when I repotted the one so I assume there isn't any in the one I didnt repot..all I did was move the whole plant soil and all to a terracotta pot to help it dry out a bit faster).
I know what you mean! They have not been easy or fast growers in my experience either! Mine are slowly growing and I do get a yellow leaf here and there…hoping this year they do better. I am planning upping the fertilizer this spring. I am happy though that the roots are filling the pot now. So we will see! But I understand your frustration.💚
I started repotting everything almost right away. I got hoyas that were basically in top soil...
Oh no! Glad that you helped your babies right away… hope all is good now! 💚💚💚

Thanks!!💚
My Costa Farms ZZ Ravens are so vigorous, but I've definitely seen them at the same store (Fred Meyer) where they look worse. I guess there's just a lot of variability especially once they're being maintained by the store
That’s true. 💚
I bought a couple of these from Walmart a couple months ago, they were overwatered and cold. I repotted right away but still lost one to root rot and the other one is struggling. I used peroxide and water dip and repotted the one and it’s outside now. Hoping for the best for it. I think these get root rot pretty easy. Thankfully found a couple more later not overwatered as they are a pretty plant. I don’t care for that coconut coir they have been planting in as it takes forever to dry out. Tfs
Very interesting, thanks for sharing. Hope the summer humidity and a more airy soil will help our our plants grow now!💚
I got one last year on clearence it was like 3 leaves one leaf died. I got one new leaf after I put it in water but thats all only 3 leaves
They are slow growers but hope she will keep growing for you!💚
I just repotted mine a week ago for the same reason!
Interesting! I was wondering how others scindapsus trubii from Costa Farms where doing! Thanks for sharing and hopefully will start seeing some growth soon now!💚
@@plantheartbeats Can't wait to see your update video on these.
I just bought one last week. I'll keep an eye on it. I bought a neon pathos and it started rotting. Turns out it was just a bunch of cuttings and it hadn't rooted yet. Sigh...
Oh man, I’m sorry. So far all of my costa farms plants have been rooted. But like you said it’s good to keep an eye on our plants, hope they grow for you soon!💚
I just bought one and the leaves have dark wilty spots. It this from overwatering or too much sun?
It can happen for both those reasons. I have found leaves burn easily so does better in indirect sunlight. Also mine have done better if I allow soil to dry out in between watering again. Make sure you have an airy light soil. Hope this helps. They are not the easiest plants but they sure are beautiful!
@@plantheartbeats thank u💚
