Jordy de vries Gnats can definitely crawl through gravel. It wouldn’t stop them at all. That’s why you see them hopping around on top. Gnats don’t fly well and often spend their entire lives sitting on top of your soil. The rocks will also trap moisture and may cause mould growth on your soil or keep it too damp and cause root rot.

@x_HarleyQ_x 2 жыл бұрын
Medium grain sand works like magic for preventing gnats. As long as the grain isn't super fine sand also really helps with aeration and is a great moisture indicator when using light colored sand since the sand will darken when it's moist, and will dry out and lighten in color as the potting mix dries out. I cover the top 1-1½" of every pot with a natural tan colored sterile medium coarse sand, water from the bottom until the sand turns darker, use a small bamboo support rod to poke a few holes in the soil around the plant to allow more oxygen to the roots, and water every time with water I soak mosquito bits in overnight then strain out, then adjust the water's pH accordingly. (Mosquito bits will make the water more acidic.) This routine got I'd of a gnat infestation in 3 days and I haven't seen a single gnat in my plants or my house since. (it's been almost 3 years now.)

For anyone who has trouble finding all these materials, this basically works out to 2/3 chunky material and 1/3 of "dirt". I've been growing many plants in equal parts of bark, potting mix, and perlite and it's the same composition and it works great! I'll be sure to get some coir and charcoal though to give your mix a try! Cheers

Thanks for another great and useful video! I'm reluctant to put spagnum moss close to the stems, but I think a moisture "locking" top layer is good for the roots - they will use more of the pot volume and not just the bottom part. This is what the bonsai people do when they place moss on top of their (extremely shallow) pots.

I live in Australia where it's pretty much always crazy hot (25-40 degrees Celcius on an average day), but humidity can vary from 35%-90% every week. As such, I end up watering my aroids anywhere from 3 times per week to once per fortnight, and they certainly don't appreciate the inconsistency. I recently started mixing sphagnum moss (roughly 30%) with a super airy potting mix which has been super helpful, as the moss has managed to keep the moisture levels stable through the crazy humidity changes without making the mix too wet.

I use terra cotta pots, so my mix is more like 40% potting soil, 20% sphagnum, and 40% bark. I use worm castings and osmocote for fertilizer. I do this because the terra cotta really sucks the moisture out, even with 50-60% humidity in my home. I also check up on the mix after a few weeks and will adjust it for plants that need more/less moisture.

Usually I do equal parts coco coir, pearlite, charcoal & bark and a dash of worm castings (like a quarter or half cup). Pretty darn close! I am an over waterer as well and I was losing my large leaf philodendrons when I first started buying them. (RIP black cardinal and several others :D ) When I talked to some people more well versed in plant keeping and they shared this mix with me it literally turned my luck around with my aroids. Haven't lost a single one since I ditched potting mix. If I don't have coco coir, I do use the Black Gold brand potting mix which I do find to be high quality.

I tend to go with similar mix, but do use some sphagnum moss with the smaller plants. My hint is to look for cymbidium potting mix, that is somewhat similar to this mix of perlite, coir, potting soil and orchid bark. If I'm out of coir, I substitute it with garden compost mix (no fertiliser or very low quantity in it): in Finland it contains peat, sand and compost. Cheap ones even less fertilisers. In case of missing perlite: fine aquarium sand or coarse sand. My sister uses coarse sand/small stones, leca and normal house plant compost. I tend to feed mine with the orchids, so getting cal mags, orchid fertiliser, Epsom salt and a flush when ever the orchids get those. I burned one of my calathea due to house plant fertiliser and won't be using that ever again.

Great video! When using the sphagnum moss should I dampen it or put over the potting mix dry? I’ve never used it but am going on vacation and it sounds like it may help during the time I’m gone.

I actually use those ingredients. I was using pumice but it was costly so I substituted with chicken grit. Way cheaper.

Just emergency repotted my monstera, only difference was that I used chicken poop instead of worm castings (didn't find any online in Finland) and vermiculite 'stead of perlite, since whoop-di-doo, perlite was sold out. Hope this brings some new energy to the plant, at least the soil looks real good compared to the basic houseplant-soil it originally was in. 🤞🏻

Thanks for sharing. It’s very helpful. What ingredient replacing the worm casting?

I would be curious to see what other plants would do well with this mix. I feel like this would be good for succulents as well.

Mothers Earth potting mix is 50% perlite already and it also has worm castings already. just in case anyone wanted this option

Highly recommend mosquito bits for a fungus gnat problem. I soak them for a day in my watering can and water my plants with it. I’ve noticed my gnat problem has gone down significantly ☺️

What do you mean with mosquito bits? What do you soak in water?

I've just repotted a bunch of my aroids using this mix and now I can't use my moisture probe lol. This mix is chunky indeed!
