Wow, that calathea white fusion is amazing! I love calatheas, but when I got a white fusion the white parts always always always turned brown within a few weeks. I couldn't find anyone who had a white fusion living well as a houseplant, so I just gave up on it and assumed it only really survives in a greenhouse. Nice to see it actually working as a houseplant!
I'm new to the houseplant life - I bought 6 different plants in less than 1 month. My youtube watchlist is full of videos about plants, but this video was so fulfilling, so creative, and fun to watch, that I couldn't not comment! Kudos! I'm in love with the plants I chose from Home Depot , but especially my brand new calathea medallion. I'm worried of how difficult it is portrayed, just wish me luck :)
I just went plant shopping while on holiday today and saw some very sad Jacklyn Alocasias, but some really different ivys and Wendlandii syngonium (my fave). Feels like I'm taking more plants home than got rid of this last qtr 😅.
Omg! Calatheas are a total pain but I'm also now searching for a calathea warscewiczii for my collection because I must have it and love it to death! 😅
My scindapsus picta is leggy too! i give her plenty of light and water, but she seems to not want to maintain the bushy look so mine is on the naughty list too lol!
I think I need to repot my Brasil. It is not doing great. My Micans is in the same area and has also not been repotted in a long time, but it is growing like a weed! I keep thinking I’m going to repot my pink syngonium, too, but it keeps looking fine despite being in the same soil for over 2 years so I keep putting it off! Your Calathea White Fusion is beautiful! It almost tempts me to get one!
Cut back all of the runners on your exotica right to the base and leave a node. I collect them and regularly give them a haircut and start new plants. I especially do this when there is a huge gap between leaves which is rare for me because I keep them in direct sun in winter and indirect light in summer.. You also might want to repot it to a larger pot. They will have a growth spurt in spring and trail again
@@GenRN If it's a scindapsus they take a while to trail if that is what you mean. I find a repot in fresh soil helps plus I fertilize just about every time I water with a diluted solution
That calathea white fusion. That is gorgeous. How did you get it to grow like that? I'm hoping my poor little calathea medallion will bounce back. It had mealy bugs 😢
Oh , how long have you had your calathea? I just bought my very first calathea medallion, I'm in love with its beauty, but worried of the troubles it might have... Good luck!
@@cooki.monsta I have 4 calatheas right now. I got them this year I think I got two of them in October. They are still alive. One is an orbifolia 😁 and it is still alive. I am putting water conditioner in their water and it is working so far. The orbifolia has a few crunchy spots but it's not dead. The other is the same. The medallion I got at Lowes and I got it in October too. I am not sure it will make it but I hope it will. I just hate mealy bugs. Oh and I have a rattlesnake calathea too. It seems to be doing fine
@@JuanellHopper I really feel for your medallion, I got mine only 2 days ago and I feel so attached to it! And rattlesnakes look nice to me, I was about to buy one, but my husband didn't like it :( I may get one later, tho haha
Honestly, with my white fusion I don’t really do anything special. The key was getting rid of the spider mites first. But other than that she just lives about 4 or 5 feet back from an east facing window with frosted glass, I water her when she needs it, which is probably about once every 20 days in my home conditions, I fertilize her once a month with my liquid fertilizer of choice, and that’s about it. She’s responsible for the rest.💚
whats your tips for philodendron heart leaf? I've had dome and they always end up getting bald on top and then they lose leaves slowly over time. I cant figure out how to make it full!
Can you say heartleaf, or you talking about philodendron cordatum? Micans? Brasil? All of these, lol? Just wanna make sure I know exactly which plant we’re talking about before I say anything.
@@lucyloo8965 first of all make sure they’re actually getting light on top of the plant. I find a lot of people put them in places where the trailing part gets light, but the top never does and it starts to go bald.
Hi!!! Could you one time how to tell stromanthe, cthenanthe, maranta and.... what is the fourth again! Argh! You know it! 😂So how to tell them apart and something that is differentiating them from each other? Would be greatly appreciated.
Maranta are pretty easy since they are the only ones that vine and there are very few species of maranta. The rest can be a little trickier. Let me think on it and see if I can come up with something helpful but not confusing lol. It also is sometimes hard to see the key differences when the plants are young which is frustrating.
@@AlohaPlantLife I need that video! I've just started delving into the world of semi-hydroponic and it's made me wonder about ph on non-hydro plants. It's all very overwhelming to me so I look forward to your straightforward, in-depth discussion ☺💚
@@AlohaPlantLife I swear it looks just like a plant labeled as a Calathea Pilosa. Do you know if they are similar or is it a case of same plant known by different names?
@@AlohaPlantLife well I did some Googling and evidently they are the same plant! I can’t wait until mine grows up to be a big girl like yours! How long did it take to grow that size? How big was it when you got it?
@@GenRN Calathea pilosa isn’t an accepted species but it is a synonym for Ctenanthe compressa powo.science.kew.org/taxon/urn:lsid:ipni.org:names:41105-2
Nothing to do with plants for openers but, I like your hair today!
Thank you!
She looks pretty 🖤🕊️
Great holiday video title 😁
Thank you!
Such a fun holiday season planty video! Hope your naughty plants get their acts together soon!
You and me both💚
You are so right vines drying out in between plants.

@@AlohaPlantLife I just discovered this morning that my Orbifolia is growing a new leaf. 😄😁🥰 I cannot believe it.

Have you tested your soil for ph?
Just bought a kit the other day and will be discussing it in an upcoming video💚
