Love the wicking method, been trying it on a couple plants now - I wanted to ask how it affects upsizing pots in the future though - doe the roots grow around the wick and you have to kinda peel them off or do you uppot them with the same wick? Love the videos keep up the awesome work 🌱💚
Hey Kyle, thanks for watching! That's an excellent question and one I probably haven't addressed directly in a video anywhere (maybe I did, but indirectly? who knows...) I think I'm gonna note this one down for a future Q&A, but I won't leave you hanging in the meantime. 😉 In terms of up-potting, I have had issues with roots or root branches going THROUGH the wicking here and there, but not really to any major detriment to the roots systems. Often the wicking is loose enough woven that you can pull the roots back out without harming anything. Worst case is having to give the roots a trim, but that's not really all that terrible of an outcome. The other option when upsizing pots is just to take the existing substrate (whatever's sticking to the roots) along with the existing wicking and putting it through the holes of the new inner net pot. If the old wicking's not long enough you can always add some more and not have to worry too much about it. Personally, I just pull it out if it's stuck in the wicking and just re-do it in the new pot. Not usually a big deal! Hope this helps and thanks for watching! Appreciate your support! 🤘
Hey there! Good to see your post. You're tempting me to try an anthurium!
