Great video to keep in mind for further re-views. I seemed to think that mine liked humidity but maybe they would like another room besides the kitchen. When I leave the window open and it gets windy at night, they sometimes wilt very fast. Maybe they need a quiet place. Mine are very thirsty.

@MMMPlants 3 жыл бұрын

I agree, they are thirsty ones. Away from wind and in a bright spot would be good.

Hi there! Recently just purchased for my son's teacher for teacher appreciation week. At the moment it looks pretty vibrant to me, my question is what type of water do I need to give the plant? Will bottled water or water from the sink be okay? I might have had this plant for a week or until Monday I'm afraid it just might die under my care) I will be also placing this plant in a small disco ball planter, you think it would be okay?

Hi - my polka dot has slightly browning and crisping of some leaves. What could this be an indication of? I bought mine a few weeks back, and haven’t fertilised it yet. I’ve watered as per this video, ie when I see a droop in leaves. Would appreciate some advice pls. Thanks

@MMMPlants 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Asmita, hope you are doing well! Pruning the dead part, making sure it is not getting direct sun, watwring only if the plant is asking for it (leaves will be wilted), fertlising once in a month is more than enough maybe liquid and soil preferably moist which can be done using cocopeat! Hope this helps

@MMMPlants 3 жыл бұрын

Sounds like your plants are healthy and want to grow, kindly trim all the branches from top 2 inches and also give your plants compost just before it starts getting warmer. Its cold right now so they wont grow and are in dormancy.

My plant is so dramatic! It was doing fine and now for some reason, all of the leaves are falling off and I don't know why I haven't changed anything and I've had this plant for over a year.

@MMMPlants 3 жыл бұрын

Plants do shed leaves and thats normal, probably a good time to trim, reduce watering. Once you see some new shoots, adding compost or liquid fertilizer would help those leaves come out faster.
