    When I didn’t know about planting, I had put my pothos rooted cuttings in a 5” pot with garden soil we had lol. Now that I got into planting and am now obsessed, boy was that a big mistake I made. Thank you for sharing :) I love your style. More videos please.

    I am so upset I went to Home Depot and they made me buy the garden mix and nothing grows everything dies I thought the people who work at Home Depot would have some sort of a knowledge specially in the gardening area want to sell it to you this is upsetting

    Where does compost (from a British garden centre, if that makes any difference) fit into this mix? I know mine contains peat, so I assumed it to be similar to the base mix.

      @ThisisaPlant  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question! A normal potting mix will work. Anything that really says potting or container. Since it has perlite and other things in it

    Hey Bri i like that you made the video shorter. It was a lot easier to follow. I also liked the end of the video because i am one of those people that has definitely killed a plant before so i am grateful that there are people like you that are willing to teach us how to care for our plant babies.

      Make sure it has the word "potting" in the name or says "use for pots". Regular potting mix will work.

    Or to avoid another CSI situation with your beloved plant(s) take photos and show them to your local florist with your concerns or planting ideas. Some for a small fee, will transfer your plant to a new pot size with care instructions.. Hey we all go to our doctors when not feeling well, our pets to the Veterinarian. So why not go to a Professional Plant expert for advice? 🌱🌾🌻🌿👩🏻‍🌾💕

  • @gendoll5006
    @gendoll5006 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can I just add small rocks/pebbles instead of perlite? It seems like it’s just there to add air holes/space and not let the spike compact too much. If it doesn’t have some kind of fertilization in it or essential nutrients then wouldn’t small pebbles do the same thing??

  • @danjackson4149

    Barks and perlite are expensive in my region. Are there any alternative amendments that could improve drainage?

    • @ThisisaPlant
      @ThisisaPlant  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question! Sand (coarse is preferable) can help with drainage and is readily available. I would recommend vermiculite and pumice too but those might be expensive too. You can also try and use just small amounts of rocks or pebbles too. And surprisingly, coir from coconuts help will drainage and water retention. Hope this helps!

I can't get over the moldy smell it is strong. Do you think soil is bad? I am newbie at planting containers for my inside apartment.

We had a wooden planter with dried potting mix in it(nothing planted so far) and all of sudden around 7am(4° C) I saw fumes and the both bottom corners of my wooden planter were on fire! We never smoke and right now it's cold so we are not even using the balcony and we live on the top floor! It has really surprised us ,please let me know if you can shed some light on it?
