    You can avoid the shock to the plant by wearing a swim suit in the shower. It also helps to use scented soap on yourself.

    I got myself some microfiber gloves for leaf cleaning and it works great! I usually had issues with accidentally breaking or damaging leafs, but now I just put a hand on each side of the leaf and gently slide them down. The gloves are also great, because I can very easily regulate how wet they are, because they are directly on my hands.

    A bonsai concept is to expose more of the trunk to get that lovely tree like look in a small container. I love that idea and will start trying it, especially on my bushy large leaf rubber plants! Thanks for the tip.

    • @callmeishmael3031
      @callmeishmael3031 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Bonsai concepts are long term strategies. It can take many many years to get a plant to the desired miniature tree look. In the process during those years, your bonsai plant may look strange or unappealing as you let different growth techniques take hold. Exposing the trunk may not be desired, at all, because a woody trunk tends to thicken where it branches. If you trim the bottom, then when it starts branching higher you can end up with a trunk that gets thicker higher than it is at the bottom, and of course, that is undesirable.

    Great tips! My favorite propagation method is rooting in water. I had some plants that weren't doing well and I switched them to water from soil and they took off. I leave my cuttings in water most of the time and they grow like crazy. Lots of syngoniums, pothos, philodendrons, and others. Really enjoy your channel!

    Indoor plants dry slower when it's rainy or cloudy outside. If the soil refuses dry even though you have draining holes in the pots and you have used up all you paper towels trying to absorb the excess, you can use a plant supporting stick and gently push it through the holes in the bottom of the pot and all the way through the soil to make it loosen and dry faster.
    This has saved me from replanting or switching the soil several times this summer.
    Im not sure of the exact translation for the stick but it's "blommpinne" (lit. "flower stick") in Swedish. Any stick that's small enough to fit and not push out the plant of the pot will do though :)

    I've done a bit of experimenting with propagation lately and my favorite prop method has changed....ive tried water, perlite, and lately vermiculite. Water always seems to be fastest but if you are putting in soil, there's a bit of a shock. Vermiculite seems to have solved a lot of problems because it stays fluffy with air but much moister than perlite. It's been an interesting experiment.

    Another tip to dry out soggy plants which worked for me. Let gravity drain as much of the excess water as possible. Make a multi-layer wad of absorbent cloth (preferred because it's reusable) or paper towels a little larger in diameter than the pot. Set the drained plant on the wad and a lot more water will wick out of the soil. If the wad saturates (gets runny), replace it with a dry one until your soil is the dampness you need it to be. And, very important, GET A MOISTURE METER!!

      On some of my plants I have a beach towel underneath the draining ones that I don’t have saucers for. It seems to do the trick because the towel is constantly damp and I have to wash it weekly to keep the smell away. (A little ghetto tho but it seems to work!)

    My tip is to use a cup of room temperature coffee instead of dishsop to fix hydrophobic soil. It works really well and feels safer, at least when I have to drown the soil because my grandmother is an expert at making it hydrophobic all the way down to the roots at her place 😂
    I either mix it with water and pour it directly on the soil or mix it with water in a larger bowl and dip the soil in it. I think this methods could work with normal bottom watering too but that has to be tested more first. Coffee also acts like fertilizer so make sure the plants don't get any additional nutrition if they don't need it 😁
    Edit: this method is much faster so don't leave the soil longer than some minutes in the water if you sink it in the Coffee water mix. At least not unattended :)

      I am currently experimenting with propagation on wet paper towels loosly wrapped in plastic foil. I am currently propagating 3 separat Hoya parts in soil and 3 in the foil. They are all the same size and from the same plant.
      The original thought was to see if the transition to soil would be easier on the roots in this way rather than propagation in water but then I decided to compare with the ones put directly in the soil instead.
      I can see smal roots forming on one of the hoyas on the plate with paper and foil but it's way to soon to tell if it will work.
      I will update my results if anyone is interested, and If anyone else wants to try, pleas do so we can compare :)

      Dish soap can actually be used as an insecticide, and water with dish soap can be flushed through the soil occasionally to help kill some pests. I don't know about root mealy bugs, but spider mites and soil mites for sure.

    • @ekanimation
      @ekanimation ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@stiaininbeglan3844 yes but the problem is that dish soap kills microbes and other living things in the soil that is needed for the soil to be healthy. Dish soap also kills water living organisms (it's actually stated on the lable) so I'd say it's a last resort. It also kills the plant directly if one is not carefull. I only use it if (like you said) I have something like spidermites that would have killed the plant anyway and never in the soil since I've already killed some plants that way 😅

    I recently started to remove the nursery pots out of the ceramic pots to allow better air circulation. I failed to get rid of the standing water resulting in bad order/root rot. Moving forward, after watering my plants, Im removing the dish an hour later. This way the roots can dry up better.. I have over 50 plants, so this helps.

      The latter works with a wick made of a material that changes colour when wet. Inspired by this, back in the days when I had my plants in soil, I used a wick from the center of the rootzone, hanging out of the pot through the drainage hole. By feeling how humid the wick still was, I was able to say, if the plant needed a drink.

    You plant gets dirty all the when you have widows open. The lights is what giving the white stuff on your plants. I noticed this when I have our windows open. So yes I have clean my plants leaves all the time, no way my plants can survive with close windows lol

    I’m very confused about watering. You say to water from the bottom, meaning watering in the dish it sits in or the planter the plastic planter the plant is potted in. I always thought this creates root rot. You mention in this video that plants sitting in water will cause root rot. What’s the best way to water my plants?

    • @isaacwgnr130
      @isaacwgnr130 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You pour away any water thats still in the pot after 30 minutes. If it were to stay there for longer it would cause root rot 😌

    • @SheffieldMadePlants
      @SheffieldMadePlants  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Root rot is more about a lack of oxygen in the soil. They’re fine sitting in a bit of water for a few hours. It should soak it all up anyway

      they thrive in moist, damp soil so take care to not overwater, have good drainage + let the soil dry out between waterings. as for getting rid of them i've seen apple cider vinegar traps, potato chunks, or dluted hydrogen peroxide sprays suggested but i don't have personal experience w any of those. i'd probably repot a plant if i noticed it was harboring gnats, sometimes the eggs come right along with prepackaged soil
