Perfect timing..I was just looking at self watering pots and trying to figure it out

Hi! I love your videos! I’m an engineer and most sources don’t have the depth of information I’d like. You have all the scientific information I want. And you like pumice! One problem I’ve had with my self-watering planters lately is the soil’s pH is very acidic in the 3 & 4 range. I’ve bought a lime product, I’m trying to apply it conservatively to avoid over correcting. It’s not budging much. I don’t know what to do. Applying fertilizer is pointless if the soil is so acidic plants can’t take up the nutrients. Help! They are outside planters and I live in the desert Southwest of the USA, if that is a factor. I bought them to conserve water due to our impending water shortages. Thank you!

Great videos, thanks 👍🏼😊 I love Alocasia. What tips do you guys have on these plants? Would love to see a video about Alocasia

Very detailed instruction. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thank you so much for the tutorial I am just switching over to semi-hydro and was wondering when they would need repotting, I’m so surprised that it’s as long as 3-5yrs or in your case 10-12yrs. Once again thank you! 💚.

I see the pumice! To be honest, you are the pumice guys for me 😂😂😂. Thank you so much for such a detailed video! That's a lot of effort!

So glad I found your channel!! You explain very well.😊

Thank you very much for this video. It’s very useful and well structured. I’ve never reported a plant from a self-watering pot, I’ve started to use them recently. And I didn’t know that there are so many details in this process.

Thank you very much for the great video

I'm watching your videos for days, just recently discovered your channel. You explain it so well and you give all the reasons why we should do certain things... I really love your videos. Thank you!

As always, a fantastic tutorial. Thank you!

Great video, Thanks! Would you recommend to rinse the root ball (during #2 or 3) before adding substrate to purge any salt residue?

Very informative video on reporting plant in a self watering pot, thank you so much. I also have the self watering pot without separate inner pot, would you please show repotting in such self watering pot? I have all my indoor and patio plants in pumice and self watering pot.

Thank you so much it­'s very useful! On the other hand a bit unclear what to do with plants that you want to get bigger like large ficuses or Monstera Deliciosa which is often for sale at the juvenile stage (roots here go wild and I'm not su­re this plant apprec­iates the trimming). My best guess is to cut off fewer roots than 3rd method, ma­ybe only the water roots, and give it a bigger pot...

very nice tips your content is intersting more power happy planting

Thank you

Professional. As always! Thank you.

Bedankt

Hey, can you guys make a dedicated video on how to optimally care for different types of Alocasia? Soil mix, light etc

Always the best plant info on the net!

Very useful info. Thank you

THANK YOU!!!!!! 💚💚💚

Thank you for the video! One question: after root pruning and put back to the same pot, will the plant grow bigger or always stay in similar size?

QUESTION: If there is no water or nutrient retention from the soil and I want to eliminate using soil, what should I use and the amount of that to fix the problem?

Would pumice be good for a potted palm ?🌴

I have just started planting and using self watering pots. I have a question please, so when the roots starting to goes out and stays in the water, will they not root rot?

I notice one of those plants is a Hoya. Guess having a Hoya in a self-watering pot is okay.

What do you do with the old pumice. How do you clean it if you want to reuse it?

Would you ever size up to a larger selfwatering plant?

where are you Swedish plantguys?

I have a question about another plant… if you can please let me know what is going on with my cabbage plant. It had lines on the leaf is turning dark. I tried to send a pic.

Where did you get that black self watering pot? What's the name of that plant? If you plant the root ball in dirt will it regrow a plant?

Why not just flush it to get the salts off?

Bro, where are you? Everything ok?
