    I repotted my MTC into a self- watering container. I used mineral stones which is similar to lechuza pons, but very cheap in Malaysia, RM 9.00 per kg. Since then , more than 6 months ago, my MTC has put out 4 big leaves . I never had root rot and can go for long holidays without worry. For fertilizer, I just sprinkled osmocote pellets every fortnightly. Just for sharing 😊

    Omg you made my day! Thank you so much for the great advice for the Thai constellation. Mine is going through root rot as we speak and I am terrified. When I get past the root rot I will definitely be using the pafcal, leca and perlite to grow in. I will also be subscribing to your channel because you are so knowledgeable. I have probably watched 20 videos on how to save my plant but yours made the most sense as far as what to grow it in when it recovers. And btw, you are adorable! Not flirting, I'm old enough to be your mom lol

    I just noticed how immaculate your home is. So last I posted about my second Thai after I killed the first one. All of the roots and dirt the second plant came with fell off after watering. I was scared it had rotted, but when I inspected it, there was a growth point. I put it in water but was afraid it would rot so I took it out and repotted it in Fluval Statum, and the miracle started that moment.
    That one stem, one leafed plant now has multiple huge leaves! If anyone is having trouble with their Thai Constellation, stick it in Fluval Statum and allow it to root. I have done this for a Monstera Albo node also. Once it has nice roots, put it in a nice chunky Aroid mix like the one mentioned in the vid. I found a vendor on Etsy who has the best mix that I will try to duplicate in the future. I just found out about tree fern fiber, so I am going to mix some of that in and see what happens. Nice vid brother.

    Dude!!! Thank you for this video, because it gave me the courage to try this as well.
    I converted my monstera Thai constellation from store aroid mix to pafacal, and the thing just took off! Within a week the roots sprout out an inch of white udon roots. Three weeks in the roots are already reaching the bottom and busting out.
    Before doing this I also had other experience w pafcal- my spider plant sprouted plantlets like crazy (a small plant in a 4inch pot gave me 20+ “babies.” I then air layered some of the babies with the pafcal “plugs,” wet it, then sealed in the humidity of that plug w tiny plastic bag while the plantlet is still attached to the mother plant. I thought it will take some time for the plantlets to root in. After a week thick white roots are already poking pass the plugs.
    I also potted up some cuttings in there and the plants are taking off.
    Only issue I can say w this stuff is my Thai Constellation needed to be tied down to the pot because the pafcal is very light and the plant will tip forward. But that’s easy to do and it shouldn’t be a problem after the roots are a bit more established.
    Thanks again. I’ll keep all of you posted on the progress.

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That's dope! I might have to try the Pafcal plugs you mentioned. As far as stability, you can add stone or leca to the pafcal to weigh it down and it still works the same.

So while i was waiting i went a bought a 6in pot LOL very satisfied with it new leaf with fenestrations and all but it is in soil so i gotta keep an eye on it, the mix you have looks clutch! Good to see ya back !

    • @AroidDistrict

    Love this video! I just bought a thai con and I've been looking for suggestions for the type of soil it needs since they are more likely prone to root rot. After watching your video, I think another good alternative to pafcal soil is coconut husk since both work similarly. It's typically used for plants like orchids that require good drainage but also retain moisture in the pot.

    • @yazzybananas3106
      @yazzybananas3106 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @abesolt
      @abesolt หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@yazzybananas3106 sadly the thai constellation i bought was a scam. Coconut husk is used purely for a more chunky soil mix. In a way it works similarly to orchid bark. Since thai constellations are more prone to root rot you want to make sure you keep it in chunky soil for better drainage. It will also help prevent water from sitting in the soil for too long.

    A week ago, I saw about 15 Thai Constellations at my local Wal-Mart, but I had never paid $37 for a house plant. After research about its weakness of root rot, I became ever more hesitant. Thanks for sharing your method. Wal-Mart sold out two shipments, so I am waiting for another chance. I wonder if cutting up some of the foam seed starters for hydroponic gardening might be an effective, cheaper substitute for Pafcal Chips.

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thank you. I do think Pafcal is great choice for any type of Monstera issue. I think the only downside is, roots do cling to the chunks, as you can see in the video. That's annoying if you end up not liking the substrate and want to transition to something else.

    Great job. Thank you! By the way, do you think orchid bark would work vs Leca?

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I think bark works for a short amount of time (6mo-1yr). Orchid bark does break down and crumbles in to dirt after months of watering.

    Off-Topic Question: Definitely the Best At One Thing!😂 It's a deep question to answer, Dave.😊
    I have been trying to find some Pafcal, and I have been unsuccessful. Amazon indicated currently unavailable as well as it does not know when or if it will be restocked. Where do you buy yours from???

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  หลายเดือนก่อน

      I water once every 2 weeks when weather is cold. Once every 7 days for Summer. That’s for Monstera and other plants that prefer to dry out in between waterings.

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hey, the Thai is in a clear pot so I water when I see that it's fully dry. That's usually once every 10days or so.

    How often do you water the Thai or when to water it. Any tips for thrips on Thai and albo?

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Just water when bone dry. Thrips you would have to use systemic granules and manually wash the leaves every few days for a while.

    I had my giant Thai con in leca and then bark and then a Trifecta mix with perlite.
    Finally stopped dying after I moved it into spagnum moss. After six big leafs have died. I'm down to one big leave. Only problem now is I can't tell if the notice spent or if this bagnum is stopping its growth

    • @AroidDistrict

You can be terrific at sports but get a catastrophic injury and then what. My plants are doing pretty good and I still love working with them. Terrible about your tenant. Hope it won’t take to long to get the rental repaired.

  • @carolyncoppola974

    Nice video! I have a very small space so no TC for me! 🤣. Does the pafcal work on all houseplants? As to your question, I think both have pros/cons. But don’t underestimate being mediocre in many things! I think the biggest thing that I’d want to be the best at is my relationships with my God and my fellow humans. Everything else can be mediocre. But when I say BEST - I mean the best I can be, not the best in the world. As for being mediocre, thats not to say it’s sloppy or not good. Sort of “jack of all trades, master of none.” You can still produce excellent work with being mediocre just the talent is spread out. Thanks for the video! Good luck with your move. Sorry to hear about your disrespectful tenants. Chin up, press on. There are unexpected lessons to be learned in our tribulations. Just remember you saved a rotting plant from death. Perhaps “salvaging” is your strength. Making beauty from ashes. 😉. God bless you!

    • @AroidDistrict
      @AroidDistrict  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I would not use the word mediocre. I prefer to use good because I would prefer being damn good at many things tha. Being the best at 2 thing. I would not want to classify myself the best at anything because that is Ego Based because there will always be someone that will come along that may be better and you will have this immense pressure to continue to try and stay "the best" and that can actually result in you losing sight of your love for whatever you are doing. I think it's more important to follow your soul purpose and master that and everything that is within that wheel like for example if you really passionate about Yoga, you would pour yourself into it and work your way towards mastery, you can then while mastering Yoga also master things within that are within that wheel which is things like mindfulness and meditation ect.

    • @AroidDistrict

      Yeah, Deliciousa type Monsteras don’t need a moss pole because the aerial roots usually don’t go inside the moss. Only needs something to hold it upright.

      @@AroidDistrict I guess they both have their point of view, but the Thai is a fickle plant. Thanks for the information. I do have it in a clear plastic pot. I bottom watered it after repotting because the original soil was wet. This morning I saw a sad leaf and it came out and I freaked. I repotted and all of the original soil and roots came off. The main root is fine with no rot, so I put it in a chunkier aroid mix with a tiny bit of coco loco and I dusted with rooting powder, so hopefully it will get better. I pray it does.
