I love these videos Melissa! They are so relaxing and calming 😊 there’s something so satisfying about potting up a plant and putting it in a new pot!
Thank you so much 🥹🫶🏻 it really is! I love that first pot up 😁
I think repotting is so much fun. I almost feel sorry for my plants 😅.
The Pink Black Velvet is gorgeous 😀🇨🇦
Pink Black Velvet is one of my top wishlist plants but the cheapest I've seen in canada is like $600 for a small plant or $300 for a corm 😂😂😂 absolutely notttt something I'll be splurging on until the prices come down a lot 😅 they're SO stunning 🩷🖤
Whoa! That’s so expensive there! 🥲 I’ve seen them mostly $300+ here for a plant but some lower variegation can be less.
Top wishlist plant for me top! So gorgeous ! They go for around 500$ here in norway! Another wishlist is varigated dragon scale ❤
Too * not top 😅
The pon is back in stock! I'm try it out for the first time thanks for your recommendation. 😊
Thank you Melissa for the great video! Hope you have a blessed day🕊🕊✨✨🪽🤗🤗💚💚
Ok, my plant chore for today is to plant 4 dwarf crested Iris outdoors in one of our landscaped areas. They grow only to 6-8 inches tall and have nice purple flowers. It will be fun to watch them grow and spread. I’ll wait for later in the evening, however, as it is 94 degrees outside. Thanks for the video.
Iris plants are soo pretty!! An old house I lived in had some but I don't think they were the dwarf ones. Have fun planting this evening and thank you for watching! 💜
@@plantsbymelissa dwarf Iris spread quickly via rhizomes which is one reason I like them, they are a great ground cover. I know very little about standard Iris. The plants I have are thinning splits that I purchased at a farmers market in my town so I know they are ok for this climate. $12 for 4 nice plants. Despite my 71 yrs I still enjoy gardening indoors and out. Thanks.
The Hoya on the trellis is so cute! 😍Now I want a tiny Polyneura
That pink varigated black velvet is #1 on my wishlist.
Lovin’ the cute plant repots! 🥰
Yes I love these too! Thanks for sharing. 🪴✨
Love this pot up, my favorite, so relaxing, love your passion for your plants and how you so lovingly care for each one. Thankyou, Char,
Thank you so much! 🥹💜
Hey Melissa. You’re just gifted with plants and all there needs.
Thank you 💜🥹
Loved this video, always so inspirational, and relaxing. That Polyneura, wow! I can't wait till it grows, and you put up some cuttings up for sale. Also, the green one and the begonia polka dot. All your plants are beautiful. ❤
Thanks so much!
Your makeup looks super pretty today😊 I'm glad you decided to put her on a trellis, she looks stunning❤
Thank you, Dora 🥹💜
So pretty and healthy plants love to see you with new plants and lots of love from India 💚💚💚💚👍👍👍
Thank you so much! That’s so kind! 💜💜
I am hoping I will be able to have a polyneura someday. I have given up on alocasias though. I'll just enjoy my other plants. I'm happy to have my beautiful calathea medallion. I think it might be my absolute favorite plant. I had to repot it not long ago but it didn't seem to notice. It is growing new leaves 😊
Hey Melissa,
I so love watching you potting up new plants... It is so relaxing. Also, you really got me into plants, you literally saved my first (and at that point) only Alocasia
I'm so jealous of that variegated black velvet. I did a repot on my black velvet last week and found 5 corms to grow 😃
It’s so pretty 🥹 congrats on finding 5 corms!! 🙌🏼
Yes!! Trellis ❤

Hi Melissa from New Zealand 😊 so glad your using tree fern fibre, I use it for everything. It's my go to for propagation for everything, you should give it a try, especially hoya ❤
Hi Melissa love your videos your plants 🪴 are so beautiful.
Your Hoya Polyneura is stunning 💚💚💚
Thank you 🥹 I feel so lucky to have gotten such a good cutting 🙏🏼
That Hoya is beautiful 😍 and the black velvet pink variegated is to die for! 🥰
🫶🏻🫶🏻
Omg so stinkin cute! 💚💚
I have a Variegated Maranta and i love it.
Your videos really are good! Boy that Alocasia is gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! Gorgeous!!!!!! I mean seriously.
@melissa can you link me to the best video you have on stratum? how wet do we keep it and do we let it dry out when the plants are new cuttings?
Thank you so much! That means a lot ❤️ The alocasia has some amazing genetics!
I know I’ve talked about it in random videos but not sure if an exact one at the moment. I keep mine more full just because my space is pretty warm so my cups dry out fast. They do go dry often but I try not to let them get like that. I usually add water 1-2x a week if I notice the level get low.
Beautiful plants 🪴 hoyas are my favorite love them❤
Thank you for sharing.
Potting up plants is always so relaxing. Unless a moss pole is involved
😂 It’s all about being patient and diligent at the same time!
😂😂
Hello we feel pleasure when seeing response from your side.. greetings
I love seeing ur repot, especially the Hoyas I’m starting my collection but 2 that I have r not doing so great…… we will see how they do.
Thank you 🫶🏻 I’m so sorry a couple of yours are not doing well 🥲 I hope they make a comeback for you! 💜
Beautiful plants! I have a Variegated Maranta, it was still smal, the leaves were slowly dying, probably the stem broke off, but underneath those dying leaves i got new growth, it was white and pink! I got a few pretty white/pink leaves with a little green, it was so special! Unfortunately it got crispy very fast and it died😔. But it was fascinating that it came from my little green variegated Maranta. Hope this will happen to you!🍀 And thank you for all your amazing videos, love to watch and learn from you!
Aw I’m sorry those leaves didn’t last 🥲 they are so pretty. I appreciate that! Maybe one year! 🙏🏼
Omggg I tried that topo Chico today! It was amazing! When I used to bartend, I’d put house-made, fresh blueberry purée/syrup for cocktails with the regular topo Chico all the time! ❤
It’s so good!! I need to go back and see if there’s other flavors now haha
@@plantsbymelissa oh girl there is! I believe I saw like 3 or 4 at least.
❤❤❤❤❤
I love love love my black velvet more than the Frydek variegated I have, but your variegated pink black velvet is gorgeous! I may have to find one of those myself once I take myself off a plant ban. LOL! 😆
Hehe yes! They’re still up there in price but I’ve seen them cheaper than what I paid only a few months ago. It’s a splurge but it was worth it 😁
A little off topic but thought I would ask anyway...
When growing your plants on poles, do you give top-down light as well as light from the front?
Thank you... love watching you.
Hey Melissa! Would you recommend moving an alocasia (jacklyn in this case) thats in soil to fluval stratum (mixed with perlite maybe?), having it grow some more roots, and then transfer it to semi hydro? ✌️🌱
That’s what do :) either stratum or water first for a few weeks then I’ll transfer to pon.
my new guinea ghost is in moss and it is allllllllways thirsty! I think one of my thirstiest hoyas for sure!
Ooooo where did you get the cover pots for the 4 inch plastic nursery pots? I have the same ones and can’t find cover pots to fit perfectly
I got one from Lowe’s and the other white ones were from TJ maxx 😁
Amazing TH-camr to watch and subscribe the channel and made me purchase my first 3 Alocasia plants as I can’t wait for you to show us how to do pon mixture soon just would like to know
I have alocasia plants it’s okay to have it in the room with t5 lights or prefer the t8 looking for cheaper Walt to have with those plants as well
All the way from Australia 😊
🌿💚🌿
❤
Isn't it interesting how plants LooK so much better after they've been re-potted and matched with the perfect pot? I swear they know they've been fussed with and loved.
Melissa, I know your aroid mix is deeeeluxe but have you already told us why you don't put your hoyas in pon? Thanks.
No reason other than they do well in soil for me. I branched out with pon because of my alocasias and realized how much they love it and I decided to try some other plants out in it. If I struggle with them in soil I’ll try pon but Hoyas seem to be really easy care for me (probably because I neglect them haha).
Hi love all your videos. Where can I get the square self watering pots that you planted your alocacia in please? Thankyou keep up the great work that you do ❤
Thank you!! Here’s a link to them: www.amazon.com/dp/B08V1C9PSN?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B08V1C9PSN&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3DGT1T05R3EUS&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m_asin
@@plantsbymelissa thankyou so much
Is that the alocasia the plant you unboxed from the green escape a few weeks ago? If so, you're a magician when it comes to alocasia!
No, I bought this from rare plant fairy probably 2-3 months ago now 🫶🏻
@@plantsbymelissa Oh ok. Wasn't sure where you got it, but knew it wasn't long ago. It's doing fantastic in your care!
If you ever start selling alocasia black velvet pink variegated corms I would totally love one! Buy it of course :)
I won't sell corms, sorry :( They're too unpredictable.
Hi Melissa, I love this video! Thank you for sharing! That black velvet alocasia is so cute❤. I also love the variegated maranta. I put my frydek and maranta in pon. Do you water the pon weekly as well? Or just wait for the level to go down? ThankYou. ❤
I just made a pon care video a few videos back. I talked about everything I do/care for with my plants in pon :)
@@plantsbymelissa ThankYou. ❤️I ll go back and listen again.
Where do you buy your pon from? I have my varigated frydek plug planted in stratum (first time using it for me) and it’s loving it (after watching your videos). I would love to move my alocacias to pon eventually. Love your black velvet!!!!!
Thank you! It’s a gorgeous plant 😍 I’m glad your frydek is loving stratum!! Lechuza is in stock on Amazon right now but shipping is behind. Here’s a link www.amazon.com/dp/B085DRS1CT?linkCode=ssc&tag=onamzmeli0992-20&creativeASIN=B085DRS1CT&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.3DGT1T05R3EUS&ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m_asin
I’m making a DIY soon too 🫶🏻
Just wondering why you don’t put the hoyas in pon? Those plants are all gorgeous!
They do so well for me in soil so I haven’t explored pon for Hoyas. I hear they like it too but I guess I just prefer my mix for them 😁
💚🌱

Hi Melissa, love your videos and want to say you are so inspiring, I've gotten so much plant work since discovering your channel! 🥰 Oh I have to say this but when you mentioned your age, my jaw dropped, you look no older than 24! On another note, how much water do you add to pon and stratum?
Thank you! That is so kind of you 🙏🏼 I usually fill stratum up to the top but that’s because it dries out quickly is my space. For pon it depends but I recently made an entire video dedicated to my pon care and answered a lot of questions there 💚
Where did you buy your clear pots? I bought some on amazon but mines are a bit less sturdy yours look better quality and I like the side drainage
They’re from Amazon! I have a few different brands I use. Some are the repot me brand and another is homenote 💚
www.amazon.com/shop/plantsbymelissa/list/2Q7LRSOZIGHH7?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_m
I recently bought a single node (2leaf) cutting of an outer variegated polyneura, but the vine it shot out and the 2 small leaves (not the original leaves, but the 2 that grew in after I had it for a couple weeks) both died off and hasn't done anything else in the couple of weeks since then.. It's rooting in perlite, which is how it came to me, so I'm not sure if I should be moving it to a chunky mix or semi-hydro 😅 I'm so terrified to kill it 😢
Oh no I’m sorry! Maybe just adjusting to your space. Do you water in any nutrients with the perlite? I would be tempted to move to stratum if you can get some or have it. Hoyas seem to love it and it has nutrients already. I swear all my Hoya props root like crazy in it then I move them out. I hope it grows for you here soon!!
@@plantsbymelissa yes I've used highly diluted feed for it! Stratum is sooo pricey in canada, not easy to find here except online! I'll have to look around and see if I can find any cheaper places to order from! Yours all look so beautiful, I definitely want to try it! 🥰
❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
❤️❤️❤️
When you rinse your pon, do you let it dry before stashing it away in your plastic tub?
Yes! I try to. I usually leave the lid off and mix it up several times until it dries 😁
I just put a plant into stratum today for the first time. I thought I heard to rinse the stratum first so I did that but it didn’t seem like the water was every going to go clear so i put the plants in after a few rinses. 🤷🏼♀️ I’m not sure if that was correct?
No need to rinse 😁 use it straight out of the bag or a container if you store it that way. Rinsing it does nothing and it just turns to mush. It’s not dusty like pon.
Do you have less gnats with that mix than with soil?
I have less gnats around overall. This mix tends to dry out pretty fast in my space so it doesn’t stay wet for them. I’ve been using nematodes for about a year and a half as well and they help. I’ll see adults that fly around my moss poles or a pon reservoir occasionally since that is where the moisture is but I don’t see them make a home in the actual pots. I have little light plug in’s as well that traps any adults that make their way in 😁
How many “I’m going to go ahead” is in this video
I wasn’t counting but feel free to enlighten us 🫶🏻
Ill probably end up regretting saying what’s on my mind but… Am I the only one who thinks pon is overrated and ugly? 😅 idk I just do not love it, my family calls it fish tank gravel. Lol. I just hate the aesthetic of it and it’s so expensive too.. but that’s just my personal opinion. I have some in it and meh. That frydek however is BEAUTIFUL ❤ 🤩
Nothing wrong with that at all, we’re all different and have our own preferences :) I find the aesthetic really nice actually and I love how the plants look in it and not to mention they are growing well in it. I love a good aroid mix too but it can add up with all the different substrates I have to buy to make a good DIY that I prefer and it can be more challenging for me to keep up with watering in my environment 😁
No! No trellis for the polyneura. It would look weird. It’s a trailing plant
