I live in the south of England and have around 100 houseplants. After watching another video of yours about your aroid mixture, I repotted all of my plants. Almost all of them look tremendously better since. My Sansevieria seem to be on steroids since the repotting. My Calathea have never looked better. I had an issue with fungus gnats before the aroid mixture and now they are non existent in my home. Watering my plants is so quick and easy now, whereas before it felt like work. Everything is so much more organized and fun since discovering your channel just a few months ago. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it's been a real game changer for me.

Lava rock is pretty available over here in the US because we often use it for landscaping and in grills too. If you look for plant stuff, it'll be more expensive to find, so look for landscaping lava rock. We also often use it as a biomedium for aquarium filters. Good bacteria loves to live on it- and it's cheaper than a lot of other biomediums like ceramic rings

It's so common here, I found a HUGE bag of grilling lava rock in a thrift store of all places. Do keep in mind quality though, some of it is gonna be finer textured than others. For example, I also recently bought a bag of lava rock meant for piling into a decorative gas fireplace, and it was WAY heavier and less porous than the charcoal rock.

I don't even want to think about the time I spent watching other videos on mixing various substrates and making lists of 40% of this, 25% of that, 20% of the other thing, and 15% of something else. In the next video, another grower would use different materials in different percentages, and each felt like theirs was the best. Your approach is so much more realistic. Thanks!

I ran into the same issue when researching the whole activated/non-activated charcoal thing. I ended up buying a random bag of 100% charcoal meant for the BBQ (make sure it is not briquettes or something to that effect, just plain charcoal) and I smash it up into smaller chunks (outdoors and wearing a mask) and use it for my substrate mixes. I can add a larger amount of it this way as it is much more affordable, and so far my plants seem to like it (I've been using it for over a year).

So, I know nothing about how charcoal effects plants, but I have a fishpond and I can tell you what it does for them! Charcoal is activated by adding it to salted water, which aerates the stone to literally release air bubbles when it’s saturated by water again. Non-activated means it’s unsalted and therefore, not aerated. When added to the water, it absorbs impurities and co2 and converts it to oxygen, so we add it to the final chamber of our pond filter. It helps keep the algae down and the nitrates from being too high, and in florida that’s a necessity. I’m assuming it also releases oxygen to your plants when you water, however I’m not sure of the benefits of it if it’s inactivated, beyond maybe the nitrate absorption.

Great video Jan...lotsa fun to watch. Apparently if you use a fire pit or fireplace in which you get charcoal from burnt wood you can use this as long as it doesn't have any organic matter or fats etc mixed into it. Emman (from Emman's Garden on KZfaq) does it all the time for her orchids and they thrive.

Love the video.. Just a little bit about oxygen in water.. Plants (and other aquatic life like fish) don't take away the oxygen from H2O molecules when they breathe it. Water can have dissolved oxygen gas in it, and this is what aquatic life breathes. Loose O2 molecules can stay suspended in water for very long periods of time, and can be an indicator for the suitability of water for aquatic life. Which is why water propagations need to have their water changed once a week, as the dissolved oxygen levels decrease. Often times, an aquarium air bubbler can circumvent this reduction, but it's still better to change the water instead to prevent algae build up. Hope this helps! :)

Thank you for this video! I'm a chemist and I would like to make a small comment concerning one sentence you said in the beginning of the video. I hope this not rude and if it is, I apologize. You said it is important to have oxygen in the potting mix for the aeration. In this case, we're speaking about atmospheric oxygen (O2, which is made from two oxygen atoms bonded together, we should call it dioxigen to be rigorous). The oxygen atom in water (H2O) is bonded with the two hydrogen atoms and is not O2, so it is not available for plants and does not contribute to the aeration of water when you're rooting a cutting. I hope this comment is ok, I really like the very rational processes behind your plant care so I thought this information could interest you.

Hi great informative video and nice done - definitely enjoy watching you having fun with the process. I recommend using fern fiber for propagation - i have been doing all my propagation in fern fiber with close to 100% success (including tip cuttings- I notice you have problems with these) - I use straight fern fiber on a heat mat in high humidity - would be fine without the heat (just a bit slower) but humidity impt - so maybe in the cabinet. Much easier as no messy frequent water changes.

Your video is very educational. In glad my ingredients are not very far from yours. I reside in a tropical island. We may have similar conditions. I use chuncky pearlite, charcoal, coco chips, vermiculite and peat mix for my potting mix. I use the smaller perlite for smaller plants. I just change the ratio depending on the type of plant im potting. Oh and I also sometimes use those round brown rocks that looks like LECA.. i think it is LECA but its called Orchid Rocks here...

Afaik horticultural charcoal gets cooled rapidly with water. This causes it to form many small bubbles, increasing surface area and such water and especially nutrient retention. For most non-aroids (and some aroids too, like caladium) really appreciate a mix of just coco peat and perlite, about 1:1. Even my more succulent-y plants like my hoyas and my jade plant really like it, but I let them dry out quite a bite between waterings...

Great video and I love your new potting set up. I may have to clear out one of my guest rooms and make it a potting room.

I LOVE Buddy Stone! It's like pumice but made from recycled glass from landfills. It's great for aroid mix and also as LECA. I'm in the US so I'm not sure if it's available in other countries but check it out. A bag that is the size of my torso weighed less than 5 pounds and was around USD 30.

coco peat is not actually shredded into tiny bits they are actually the dust/meat from the coco fiber when u tore it apart they just fall from the fiber...

I prefer big soil ingredients bcs I hate clean my house after repotting 😅 I use pumice, perlite and pine bark and it works 🎉

Great video. Everything made sense. I have been killing my plants and it breaks my heart. Glad I stayed till end. I buy premium potting mixes from bunnings and you are right been getting gnats and root rot.

Thanks for the brain download, so much interesting and informative content. For those in the UK & Europe Soil Ninja is excellent to buy substrate from.

Thank you, that was really enjoyable to watch and very informative. I will definitely be making my own potting mix in the future, I always have problems with potting mix which is in large bags from the store.

Adorei! ❤ Vou procurar os ingredientes aqui no Brasil, espero encontrar a maioria. A dica do final, para não usar terra foi sensacional também. Obrigada por compartilhar seu conhecimento 😊

Perfect timing! The pot for my HUGE new pastasauce-num came in the mail, and I was getting ready to sit down and get dirty💃 💅 🌿 *Also, here in the states (in Texas at least) it's about impossible to find pumice...but something very similar called expanded shale is pretty much everywhere, and it's extremely affordable.
