I have an episcia "pink panther" for 3 years now and the only thing doing it harm is pooring water on the leaves or letting the leaves touching the wet potting mix. When this happen, the leaves dry and fall, but the plant as a whole it is ok. Be careful to avoid leaves when watering with all costs. I keep my plant in a normal household temperature and humidity, close to a window and I make sure to keep the potting mix fairly moist all the time. A big plus for this plant is that the cuttings root very fast so even you make mistakes you will still be able to save the plant on time. Thanks for your video and get well soon!
Just to add to this, constantly pinching out prevents the plant from getting too stringy. Through the winter it does need to dry out before watering, but make sure it's no more than a day. Memo, yours is a Cuprea Green Vein. I had one before I gave it away. Hope you feel better soon 🌿💚
Hope you feel better soon, Memo 🍀 Anthurium on a moss pole: So far I managed to repot them to larger pots fast enough and the higher roots went into the pot. E.g. my slow A. clarinervium is 3 years old, and has a climbing tendency, but with a 24 cm pot, all of the roots are grown into the pot and the lower bare stem is not visible. However, with A. Waroq. I think I will need to get a moss pole soon, because it grows too fast for this trick to work :-)
Thank you for the kind words! 🌱 It sounds like your Anthuriums are perfectly managed. So true about Waroq - they definitely need some extra support as they grow!
Ha! I just got that aglaonema, the same size as yours. I find them wonderfully pest resistant plants. And they compensate for those dropped leaves with new shoots from the bottom, which hide the bare stems very nicely. They are prone to root rot, so water them like you would succulents, i.e. letting them dry out completely between waterings. You never need to worry about them if you go away for a couple of weeks or so.
I have the same experience with aglaonema. I have some rarer colourful and white ones and they do well in Soil Ninja´s Monstera mix and watering on Airontek´s no. 1 (out of 10) - so I water them quite similar to a sansevieria - every two weeks or so (depends on the size and colour - the White Joy in 12 cm pot gets watered only every 18 days or so now, even under a grow light).
I have a camouflage aglaonema and it should be a lot bigger but I have let it go dry a few times over the 2 years and it kind of reminds me of a Peace ✌️ plant when it has missed a watering. I think that yours will do really well because of your high humidity. And it's amazing that I too recently purchased a sad painted lady that is now living in my Ikea cabinet after a repot and a very encouraging conversation 😀
A camo Aglaonema and a Painted Lady in your Ikea cabinet - sounds like your collection is thriving! 😄 And yes, high humidity has definitely helped my Aglaonema bounce back!
I am so tempted to get a strappy anthurium after watching your videos I only have one anthurium silver blush which is doing great now took awhile to get started it was a rescue at local plant shop for £3.50 bargain. Hope you feel better soon x
I was a little surprised when, a few videos back, you trotted out the Ph. 'Painted Lady.' I remember you calling it "a one trick pony" in your review series 😅 (I think, at least, you called it a good trick.) As for giving plants a talking to, a couple of years back I told my Monstera siltepecana "Live or die, I've done all I'm ever going to do for you." She chose life 🤣
Ha! True about Painted Lady Dave - she's definitely grown on me! 😅 And love the idea of giving plants an ultimatum - sounds like it worked with your Monstera! 😂🌱
I restarted my huge Painted Lady and now only have a small 3-leaf baby. :D I am just done with some of those huge plants. Don't have any Anthurium on moss poles, but if I had the proper space with sufficient lighting (eyeing your conservatory), I'd love to experiment with mounting. Or even have a large tree fern plant and play with that as a mount. Hope you feel better soon! 🥰
Love that you’re giving the Painted Lady a fresh start Tanya! 🌱 And totally with you on moss poles; they add so much potential! Hope you find a good mount option for your Anthuriums. And thank you - feeling better each day! 🥰
Im no Episcia expert… but I do have 2 that have been here for years… and need to be chopped regularly.. They grow in not so chunky soil (mainly cocopeat and perlite), not superbright light (also not low light) for 12hours a day and humidity on the higher end (70+ but I am sure they would be fine in lower). The temperature that they grow in is never lower than 18 Celsius so I don’t know how low they can go. Contrary to what the internet tells me… they can be bone dry for a day or 2, no problem, but maybe that is because of the higher humidity… They are heavy drinkers once established (and yes, keep the water away from the leaves!) As for pettable plants…. Hoya Calycina is my softest one (yes there are many Hoyas that are hairy… I have some others but the Calycina is the softest to the touch) Clear pots are the best! I am now confused if I have a plant that isn’t in a clear pot 😂 Rehabbing Aglaonema Rosy and Frozen year round 😅 Root rot… stem rot… all sorts of rot… and only those and Alocasias (root)rot on me but Alocasias I sort of have a truce with now that they are in tree fern and warmer conditions… finally… Considering calling it quits on the Aglaonema…. But also still want to find something that works permanently for them.. I have one in pon that hasnt had root rot yet (for over a year) so maybe that will work….. not too fond of pon in general though. My Frozen rotted in tree fern, it stayed too wet (and that is so airy already!!!) so that one is now in tree fern, bark and perlite as a test. Aglaonema don’t like the cold… thats when they rot most often… they don’t like soil that stays wet/moist for long and they don’t seem to like dry soil either… (I am also considering net pots) they are a mystery… a beautiful mystery though Enjoyed your updates and detailed information about them Get wel soon! 🌸
Thank you for all the details! 🤩 I’ll keep an eye on that watering tip, and I’m with you on pettable plants - Hoyas are so fun! Clear pots really do make a difference, too!
@ as plant growers we can only share what we know with eachother…. Even is it is only a little and/or not perfect yet… In hopes that someone someday will find a solution for the harder to grow plants that works for all of us 🌱🌸
Love that you preemptively hung anti mite sachets on your calathea 😂 thats so me, as soon as a new calathea comes in, on goes the sachets. I have 14 and 3 marantas as well so i guess it's a good policy.
@@Houseplantygoodness yep, I love to make things difficult by choosing the most finicky plants lol though i will say only one of my calathea looks crusty I will reserve my frowns for the begonia rex! Definitely recommend those foil sachets though, wayyyy better than the paper ones x
I am so surprised 😮!! Who bought you that white fusion??? We all know the white fusion is kinda like cut flowers 💐. Beautiful but only lasts 2 weeks! Lol 😅 I truly, truly hope you have it longer. 😊
Your Episia looks like the "Bronze Queen"🤎 and it is the same care as the African violet 💜 BUT I don't think that it is a big deal if you get the leaves wet.
I hope you feel better soon 💕
When you are feeling better, would you please do a winter update on your Cacti and other Succulents?
Thank you, Barbie! 💕 I’ll definitely do a winter update on my cacti and succulents when I’m back to full strength!
Yeah Memo my dear that super duper looks like a splendid to me.
Haha, thanks Sean! I’ll have to compare it with the splendid more closely! 🌱😊

Such helpful advice, thank you! I’ll be extra cautious when watering my episcia. Glad to hear cuttings root easily, too - it’s a relief! 🌸😊

Feel better Memo! Thanks for the content❤
Thank you so much, Hannah! 🌸 Hope you enjoyed the video!
Hope you feel better soon Memo 🤞 The Episia care is very much like the African Violet. 😀🇨🇦
Thank you, Linda! 🥰 And I’m so glad to have confirmation on the African Violet care! Makes it feel less intimidating!
Get well soon Memo. ❤
Thank you, Lori! 🌸 I’m slowly bouncing back - just in time to care for these plants!
I have a anthurium magnificum on a moss pole and I feel like the leaves are getting bigger. I am going for those big leaves.
I'll try that with mine. Thanks.
Big-leaf dreams! 🙌 I’ve noticed the same on mine, especially as it climbs higher. Wishing you success on those massive leaves! 🌱
Your right the episia is quite like a African violet, same family I think. 💚
Yes! It’s amazing how similar they are 💚 Thank you for confirming that, Katy!
Sheesh, wish I could look like you do when I’m ill. Feel better soon
Thank you, Charlie! 😂 Glad my plants didn’t mind a bit of a slow-down! I’m on the mend!
Hope you feel better soon, Memo 🍀
Anthurium on a moss pole:

Hello, hope your doing better, but the melano is for sure a philodendron splendid
Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll double-check. 😊 Either way, both the melano and splendid have my heart. 💚
@ i’ll send you a picture on instagram of a splendid and it’s back in that specific size

Ah, the infamous White Fusion! 😂 Let's see if I can beat the two-week record! Thanks for the encouragement; fingers crossed it hangs on! 🤞🍃
You’re so svelte - illness becomes you. So glad you’re using mosspoles now. They unlock a climber’s fuller potential.
Thanks, Chad! Haha, I’ll take the compliment 🤗 and yes, moss poles are game-changers! Loving how much fuller everything looks with them!
Yes. Sick people are hot. It’s just a fact 🤗

‘Bronze Queen’! Love it! Thank you for the ID and care tip, too! I’ll keep that in mind, especially about the watering. 🙏💜
My melano is much much smaller than yours but its more peachy on the front of baby leaves. I dont have color on the back of mine.
A peachy melano sounds beautiful! 🍑 Such a great way to mix things up - keep me posted on how it grows!
