Yes, to no drainage, clear glass vessels for anthuriums and alocasias! I get my glass vessels from the thrift store. You can also put leca at the bottom, your potting mix in the middle to cover the roots, and top with sphagnum moss for humidity. Because the sphagnum moss is just on the base of the plant and not on the roots, it's easier to remove when you have to unpot the plant 😊
Nice! I do have one anthurium with Leca at the bottom, but for experiment reasons I didn't with these ones. Plus I didn't have any extra Leca on hand 😂 I want to see if the Leca or no Leca really makes a difference for the health of the roots
nice anthuriums!
Thanks man!
Soil wetting agents act as a detergent to the waxy, impenetrable coating that can surround your soil particles causing hydrophobia. Breaking down the waxy coating, soil wetters allow the water to reach a plants' roots, ensuring it gets the goodness that it needs.
Figured it was something specific....I was just being 'smart' in the video haha Thanks Kris!
Bottom watering does the trick for me :). No need to spend more $$$$
Thanks Jeff. After learning about no drainage from another Canadian youtuber, I have moved approximately 25 plants into thrift store glass containers. I layer leca, then pon and finally the plant in a chunky mix. Almost all are thriving. I haven't moved any anthuriums into no drainage, as I only have a precious few.
That is awesome! I didn't layer the bottom on these ones as I want to compare to the anthurium radicans one, which I have Leca at the bottom
Love no drainage glass vessels for viewing the roots with a LECA bottom layer. No guessing about water level.
Exactly!
I love clear vessels! I appreciate their cues for watering and seeing the roots! 💚
Yes, I agree!
Just what I needed today! I have an Anthurium Magniaficum in moss in a prop box and I have been unsure what the next move is. My first ever anthurium and its been in same container since last year. Thank you for another great video!
The anthurium mag is a wonderful choice!!!
My bad boy has been living in no drainage for a while! I love the look of it on my counter 😍
Hi Jeff... another great video.
I have taped a torn leaf (on the back of the leaf) with scotch magic tape.
It helped it to mend.
Try it out... it might work for you too.
Thanks for the reminder because I've done this with a large dieffenbachia leaf petiole that snapped
Hi Jeff from Puerto Rico!! Yes, I saw this no drainage video and I’m willing to try it. It’s difficult to break a habit when the succulents all need drainage. Will try to add leca in the bottom though. Thx! 💚🙋🏼♀️🐩🪴
Hey Nina. I personally won't be placing succulents in no drainage, but my moisture loving plants like anthuriums seem to do well in it
Oh no, don't put succulents in no drainage
@@kitina thank you. I won’t.
The clear glass is very cool looking.
Thanks...I love when the roots can be seen
I have also been using no drainage glass jars for 2 yrs and the plants (zz, various pothos, bmarxe,scindap,agleo,sansev,monsteta) seem ok, with some pumice drainage layer. You're right, spraying is better to spread the moisture and replicate rain. What I do sometimes is poke a tunnel on one side of the jars so that air can flow a bit and dry the different layers of soil from top to bottom. My exotica is trailing and doing very well w/out drainage.
Thanks for the info. I often poke holes down the sides of pots for airflow as well!
I’m with you about not liking plants in sphagnum moss. It’s hard to know what is what roots or sphagnum moss. I transfer within a week to soil.
With my watering patterns, moss is either soaking wet or crispy dry haha. I prefer an aroid mix
Perfect timing. I am not growing any anthuriums at all. But I have decided to make that my 2023 plant goal: one anthurium. Interestingly, dorayaki is the one I want to grow and I've been doing a ton of video binging on no-drainage glass vessels for them. I'm still kind of confused on watering with no drainage. I'll be interested to see any updates from you on what you learn.
I think as long as it's in a clear container where you can actually see the moisture levels, you should be fine. Run into trouble is when you have a pot. You can't see the moisture levels. It's really tough to know how much or if it even needs water.
The dorayaki is a beautiful anthurium and if you can get your hands on it I would recommend it. So far it's been a very easy going anthurium for me. Let me know if you have any other questions. I'll be more than happy to help
I can't wait for an update on this mix and on these specific plants! For years I grew several plants in pots with no drainage with no issues, just didn't water as often, it would be nice to get a ride or die local (Canada) soil! I used to use the marphyl phytoplankton soil enhancer with each watering and my collection seemed to like it but with no real npk on it and it being fairly pricy I switched back to the synthetic. I loved that it was made in BC though and their process didn't deplete the ocean.
Yeah you definitely just have to watch how much you water in parts with no drain holes. There's nothing wrong with it. It just can be tricky sometimes.
There was another fertilizer company that didn't specifically advertise their NPK values simple because it was not marketed as a fertilizer, the levels were fairly low and weren't able to give an exact percentage.
You’re Canadian too!! A Sask boy!!! Cool beans I’m in BC most of my family’s from Saskatchewan! I didn’t know Mollys was Canadian too ❤ no wonder I was attracted to your personality right away 😂 like family!
You finally convinced me to buy Mollys mixes, found their online store, Amazon is selling it for almost double so there was no way I was spending 40$ on bc a bag of “soil” I’m totally going to give this glass container, leca, then soiless mix a try
No drainage is lovely. My thai con instantly grows out of each pot that I put it into, so I think I'm going to make the switch.
If you end up doing this, let me know how it does!
When I put my plants in no drainage, I tend to go a bit chunkier than that mix because of the access to more moisture without drainage. I prefer pumice and more bark in my mix 🙂 But of course, substrate depends so much on conditions that you can’t really say “this is the best substrate”
Very informative! Another great video.
Thanks again!
The anthurium p. Looks great!
Thanks Carol
Will you please give us a update on these plants that you put into glass? I did mine today and searched up your video but I am wondering how are they doing now😊
Those little pellets in marmoratum roots were probably very old fertiliser pellets
That's what I was thinking too. Thanks
That mix looks nice and breathable but I personally really hate bark. No clue why. I'm guessing BC of my orchid days. I felt it never really held onto any moisture and was too fast draining l. I've still got about half a bag of bark but I never add it to anything. I recently got some plants at Safeway and they had the bark and they're there 6 only plants that feel and look dry (until I use the moisture meter) and when I lift them they are usually sitting in water. I just bought miracle gro potting soil, cactus and perlite today as I ran out yesterday and I'm planning to top dress with the potting soil so the moisture isn't only at the bottom. I tend to water in place so any plants with a decorative pot can it's at risk of being forgotten when it comes to emptying excess, unlike with a saucer that I can toss a microfiber cloth on and stick up the extra 🤷🏼♀️😬 #lazyplantparent
This FEELS different then just regular orchid bark mix. It has a heavier consistency to it....so far I really like it
Thank you Jeff.🌷💚🙃
Thanks Judy
Cool video.
I’m not as gutsy as you using no drainage vessels.
Seems like you have a good grasp on it though. 👊🏼
Thanks man....stay tuned for updates!
Trying a lot of Anthurium for the first time (go big or go home, right?!), and am anxious to see how yours do with this switch!
The game changer for me is adding a layer of moss on top of the potting soil (when it's in a regular pot) This holds in moisture, but when the moss is dry I know it's time to water the plant!
Love the idea but how do you keep the roots from sitting in water
I use my garden sprayer to water slowly. Add water until you see a small punt drain at the bottom. You don't want excess water pooling. At least that's how I do it
How has the
Molly's mix
Work out
Seems like
Its an excellent mix
I hope you know I'm super jealous of your alocasias 😍😍
Hahaha....I NEED MORE!
I bought the same ones to propage my monsteras into water! 😅 Vive Dollarama! ❤
I'm so affraid of leca tho, since I learn what it can do if I forgot to water it 😢 I will stick to perlite, bark and charcoal!
Yay! I also love their terracotta pots lol
Thanks for sharing the good and bad 😅
That's what I do! 😂
Hi Jeff! I don't know if I missed this in the video, but being soil less, does that change how you fertilize the plants in that mix?
Nope....I will fertilize the exact same!
@@EverythingPlants 🙂
I’ve been eyeing that mix, but it’s so expensive. I think I’d have to cut it with Promix 😂
Nothing wrong with Promix.....its good stuff!
I learned about no drainage potting from unplantparenthood and have been trying growing plants in it since, and I'm glad to see that other people are trying it as well because for the longest time people have treated the advice of having drainage holes as a rule otherwise you're sure to kill your plant. I am curious though, what was your reason for trying it? Was there something wrong going on with your plants in drainage or are you just experimenting?
From my experience, no drainage allows me to look at the state of the roots and when I should water it, since I'm bad with guessing based on the weight or the moisture of the soil on top. I can also be less wasteful with my water and fertilizer, and my home also gets less dirty with soil because of the lack of drainage holes. I also have a layer of pumice at the very bottom, the purpose of it is so the excess water that pools down can slowly wick its way up to the substrate instead of sitting with the substrate and making it soggy for a long period. Think of the pumice layer as something similar to placing a bowl of rocks and water below a pot to add humidity, without having the roots sit on it.
First off....love your name 😂. I have seen a few others using the no drainage method.....and the reason is simply curiosity. There is not ONE exact method to growing plants because there are other external factors at play...such as varying humidity, light and other conditions that are different among our homes. I simply like trying different methods to see which works best for my conditions....and I simply film it haha
@@EverythingPlants thanks lmao I get a lot of people with it. And I can definitely relate to that approach, there's so many ways to care for and experiment with plants. I've only started houseplant caring for 7 months now and I can say that the whole hobby has been really fun to explore. I wish the best for your anthuriums!
Charmaine's great; inspired by her to try no drainage.
Gorgeous❤
Thank you! 😊
Is it possible to be clued in on the glass no drainage idea? I like clear containers but no drainage seem counterintuitive. Thanks.
Hey sorry. It simply comes down to (at least I think it does) retaining moisture for plants that appreciate a slight more consistent moist soil. Then have the glass to see the roots. It allows you to see the moisture level and kinda goes against the 'must have drain holes' advice. Now plants that I would always recommend having drain holes are plants that have thin roots like cactus, succulents, hoya and even peperomia
This is interesting. Can somebody please explain why no drainage glass method is better for anthuriums (and maybe alocasias)?
It keeps the soil consistently moist instead of someone like me who typically lets their plants get too dry haha At least that's my understanding of it
Friend have you heard of fluval stratum??? I just heard of it but haven't tried it yet
I have, but haven't tried it....I don't know much about it, but it seems like it's all the crave right now.
How often do u water them?
Depends on the plant I guess... For my anthuriums I won't let them get dry for too long and then I'll water again
Hey Jeff do you know if they ship to the US?
I will find out for you!!!
Think you should have put leca at the bottoms first and then the soil.
The anthurium radican x luxurian has Leca at the bottom. With these ones I wanted to try and see if there is an overall difference.
@@EverythingPlants ok update pls
Will do...stay tuned!
That looked like yucky eggs to me 😭 the pencil needs a dunk in the rubbing alcohol
Honestly it looks like degrading fertilizer pellets
Jus really watch how you water in no drainage..lol as you kno.
Oh ya. No drowning of the plants with these ones 😂
@@EverythingPlants yeah that's right!!! Should of figured u knew that.
Those balls of fungus or insect eggs was nasty.🤢 It's going to give me the crawlies. Did you sniff them?
Ya....that's a no to the sniff test haha
@@EverythingPlants lol 😂
You don’t even need soil - these plant do just fine in just water. 👍🪴
I've never kept an anthurium in just water. I take it they do well for you..
