It's so hard to find large affordable pots for semi-hydro. That choco is gorgeous! 😍

I have a few of these planters. They work just as well as lechuza. They’re the closest ones that do the job.

Loved this video. I really like repot days video. It’s especially fun when you do your Alocasias because of you digging for corms. I can’t believe you got 26 out of that one pot. Though you did have several plants in that pot, all producing their own corms.

Every time you find a corm I cheer on a small business.🎉

Ouh Mei GOTh! Look at this oversized leafs, so beautiful! .... .... .... today my 10€ El Choco arrived... can you imagine how tall he is? 😂😅

The speedup and the sound effect reminded me of an old show called " Benny Hill". But that aside. It's a beautiful plant

I just got a silver dragon thanks to your influence. Thank you so much for all your help, you’re incredible 💕 all my plants send their thanks as well! 😂

OMG! I remember you struggling with Miss Choco when you got her and look at her now! Breathtaking.

Gorgeous plants! I love corm digging. I’m going to try Pon and use your solution recipe. Hopefully I have good luck with it in my environment.

Hi Melissa! Have you tried using a quinoa strainer when working with pon over the sink? It might help with the rinsing while not letting any go down the drain 😊

I enjoy these kind of videos. Thanks for sharing ☺️

Way to go Melissa! Thoroughly enjoyed watching the huge repots! Very satisfying 🥰

Your el choco is so beautiful. Wow.

I’ve been using the pots with the wick in them and finding that works well. It’s much cheaper for larger pots! There is no water level indicator but I just look in the hole at the bottom reservoir where you refill it. The bottoms are also still removable for when you want to flush them out.

I bought that pot too. Bought a lecuza too but sent it back due to not having an inner pot that I could lift out and check roots. The Dexcedar I can check roots. I do wish that the inner pot was clear.

I love that El choco red plant. Beautiful. I love those new pots too. ThankYou for sharing. I’ve learned a lot from you.❤

Yay! My favorite plant person posted.❤

So great to see this repot. My lechuzapon is coming Thursday I have plenty to repot. So excited

Thank you for another great video Melissa! I am hoping you make a video of you repotting your Albo's planted in Pon. Also it has been ages since we have seen a good video of your plant room updates! 💖💖😻😻

Nice planty workout vid🌱🏋️‍♂️. Thanks for sharing your beautiful plants Melissa!

Lord, if you saw my single-leaf dragons breath 😂😂😂

You are so amazing love all the content :)

I want to swap all my Alocasia over to pon. Yours are doing so well! I just got some clear self watering pots off Amazon I really love. Time to get busy now!😊

I love videos like these

Hi! You are literally like my favorite person to watch! I usually never comment, but I have to because it’s driving me crazy trying to figure out which pre mix you have talked about that you think was the cause of all your root rot months ago…. I know you can’t really say but how do I find out? 😂

That Choco is beautiful I hope mine gets that beautiful😮

I’ve been noticing that some plants do so well in pon and others just don’t. It almost seems too dense for some plants. I’m considering mixing perlite in with the pon to try and make it a bit lighter and make my pon last longer.

I have a couple in those dexceder pots. They do get really heavy and take a ton of pon. I haven’t found anything else more affordable than that one!

I just recently potted my El Choco Red into Pon and honestly she’s had a very difficult transition. She’s lost 5 leaves but I’m staying positive and hoping for the best for her. Your El Choco Red is gorgeous 💚💚💚

I need to put my biggest alocasia in Pon finally think I'm gonna try it I up potted her to a 20 inch a few months and quickly had to start watering her twice a week again in normal soil I'm a bit scared to do it though she's a zebrina with 5ft long petials and 3ft leaves I don't wanna lose her but I think at her maturity she could handle it finally

I also boil my Leca/pon for about 10 minutes if I’ve had a plant that has started rotting/died in the substate I’m in Australia, but as you know, due to the price of it, I’m not going to get rid of it 😅

Can you share your Pon diy recipe? Thank you for sharing how you transplanted your beautiful plants.

Loving your videos❤.

Your el choco red is stunning! Question though - I have a few alocasias in pon and have recently upsized my frydek. I’m noticing all of them with water droplets on their leaf tips especially in the mornings. Right now they are on my kitchen table but are getting too big. I’m wanting to put them on the floor but worried about the excess water dripping onto the floors where my cats can lick at it. Any suggestions to stop the excess droplets?

I was actually wondering myself if there are any companies that manufacture pots out of other, less plasticky or fume-laden materials, like maybe acrylic. I know there are composite resin pots, too, and I have some… they’re generally sold for a little higher price though. Guess it’s worthwhile. Less smell and better durability. But maybe I’m not looking hard enough. I do like the resin pots I have, they’re virtually indestructible. I’d think acrylic might be slightly more durable than plastic too, though it’s not perfect, and can scratch and look beat up after some time. All my large, outdoor plastic pots (2'-3' tall) lately are cracking due to excessive root growth! Which is great, but also irritating… if it’s a larger plant, it’s a task to repot. Plus it’s just an aesthetic inconvenience to have a cracked pot… it’s annoying! Lol. I thought they were slightly better than this. But snake plants & agaves are the two plants that I KNOW will bust a pot open, of ANY material. Anything with insane rhizome growth and asexual reproduction (pups) WILL crack plastic! 😡 ugh, anyway. Thanks for reminding me…gotta order these things! 💕

I'm so happy for you that your El Choco has been growing so good for you. You have earned that growth for sure 🫶 And i cant believe she is already do for another upsize so quickly 😱

Beautiful 😍🥰👍

Melissa, what general size of pumice do you use when you diy? 1/4,1/2,3/8.

Seeing your gorgeous El Choco makes me just want to pop it up without a moss pole. I’m kinda getting over them to be honest. And I have a little baby (choco) that I will be putting on a moss pole anyway. So less plants on poles the better 😅

Once you was your pon, do you dry it in any way before you put it in the plastic box?😊

Omg! She's beautiful! How did you get it to that size?

Do you have your Melanochrysum in pon and if so how is it doing

Would you mind me asking. How long does it usually take for corms to sprout. And will they still sprout without removing the skin .😊

your el choco is gorgeous! What type of lighting does it get? Just watched a you tube video that says they don't really like bright direct light that they lose the red on back if it gets to much.

Hi Melissa❤

Do you rinse only after it’s been used? Bc if you rinse before use you’ll end up messing up the time release fertilizer in there. If you’re like me and hate it anyways it doesn’t matter lol

Hi How can i purchase plants from you i will love a pink princess?

Love that El chocolate. It's been on my list for awhile but it looks like a spider mite magnet. What's ur experience with pests? Wonder if it would like S FL heat also. My verracosum hated it and it died😢

Hi so this question is mostly related to moss poles. I recently found spider mites in my poles and I was wondering if you can suggest what I can use to get ride of them? I am having a very difficult time and it’s not like I can undo the moss poles because the plants are extremely rooted in the poles. Hope you can help.

I call dibs on one of those Alocasia babies. You saw it here first lol dragons breath

How do you rinse your pon? Where do you rinse it off, inside or outside?

Where did you get your clear plastic pots? I need tall ones at least 9 inch

Hi Melissa just watched your video. I always love watching them. Some of them I have watched more than once 😂😅. Can you help me with my allocacias? I want to move them to pon from dirt. Should I put them in water first and wait for new water roots or put them directly into pon? I don't have any money to buy stratum I can't afford it😢. Look forward to your suggestions.❤

Where did you get your shelves in your plant room?

Roughly how many or what % of your plants do you have in pon?

❤

I just have not had this kind of success with pon. Most of the philodendrons I put in pon will get edema and eventually fungal infections from staying wet all the time.

💚🌱💚🌱💚

❤❤❤❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Yikes! That's an outrageous price for a plastic pot from China. I'd pay that for a hand-made artist ceramic pot. I get inexpensive plastic pots, dollar store, walmart etc. but prefer clear orchid pots and I make my own diy self watering with plastic syringes with the middle plunger piece removed. You could use any kind of tube though. And I use ceramic cache pots, so it works very well!

2nd :D

When will you be doing a tour of your plant room? You used to do much but now it’s always about PON. Are you sponsored by them?

1st hahaha
