Thank you for pointing that out! I appreciate your feedback and will be more mindful of the terminology. The name "Wandering Dude" is indeed a more inclusive and thoughtful alternative. Thanks for helping to keep the content respectful and accurate!

Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's incredible how your Umbrella plant has become such a meaningful and enduring symbol of your son's memory. The fact that it's thrived through so much, including being propagated and shared with your other sons, shows just how resilient these plants can be. I’m sure Ryan’s plant will continue to grow strong in their care. A variegated Umbrella plant sounds like a beautiful next addition to your collection-I’m sure it’ll be just as special!

That's a great point! Mixing your own soils can really make a difference, especially for unique plants like carnivorous ones. I've found that experimenting with different soil mixes is not only cost-effective but also a fun way to learn more about the specific needs of each plant.

Awesome! Thank you and welcome to the channel! 🪴

Great suggestion! While Lithops can indeed be tricky to learn, their ability to thrive with minimal watering makes them a great choice for busy people once you get the hang of their care.

@@StevesPropagationCorner Not to mention their soil is more mineral than organic.

I remember getting my first lithops and thnking it was so cool how they could go for months with no water. But quickly learned that finding the right balance is an art form. They're fascinating, but definitely a bit more challenging than they seem at first!

For your money tree, use a well-draining soil mixture, such as a blend of cactus soil and perlite. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from sitting in the soil. Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry out between waterings. Keep your plant in bright, indirect light, and consider adding a balanced liquid fertilizer every few months during the growing season. Repotting into fresh soil and trimming any leggy growth might also help rejuvenate your money tree.

Growing a mangrove tree is a fantastic idea! Mangroves are incredibly resilient and versatile, and can contribute significantly to the health of coastal ecosystems, so it's a great choice for both the environment and for adding some unique greenery.

Very curious about this

Glad you found the video helpful! To keep the vines from getting trapped, I gently move them aside before opening the fridge door. It's a bit of a dance, but it works! 😂

To save your money tree from rot, let the cut portion dry out for 1-2 days until the cut surface is calloused. Then repot it in a chunky mix to ensure good drainage. It should survive and grow new roots in the chunky mix. Good luck!

@@StevesPropagationCorner thank you so much...how often should I water since no roots are present? Should I top water or bottom water in this case?

You're welcome! Without roots, water sparingly to avoid rot-just enough to keep the soil slightly moist. Bottom watering is best, as it encourages new root growth.

I'm glad you found it easy to follow, Maria! ❤️ For peace lilies, it's normal for the stems to be more or less visible depending on the plant's growth. You don't need to prune until you see visible stems. Just make sure it's getting enough light and water. Happy gardening! 😊

@@StevesPropagationCorner thanks for much a quick response!!!

@@StevesPropagationCorner hi again Steve. We've going through an extreme heat wave these last 10 days. 100-111 F. Daily. Every day I come home and she's drooping. I give her a bit of water to revive. Yday she was completely drooped even the flowers. What can I do to stop the constant drooping so she doesn't die. I'm.afraid to overwater. Tks

Thanks for the tips! It definitely helps to check the roots and consider a soil change. Fish fertilizer is always a great idea too!

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the videos. I don't have a specific tutorial on combining two Pachira aquatica plants, but here's a quick guide: Choose a large planter with enough space for both plants, gently remove them from their current pots, and loosen the roots. Position the plants in the new planter at the same depth as before, fill in with fresh potting soil, and press down gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly and place the planter in bright, indirect light. If you'd like more details, let me know and I look into creating a video on it.

@@StevesPropagationCorner yes Steve darling a video would be icing on the cake for someone like myself who's trying new things

Thanks for the insight!

No need to feed them during propagation. Just focus on keeping the soil moist and providing indirect sunlight.

I'm sorry to hear that you had to unsubscribe, but it's great that you're passionate about sustainable gardening! While peat moss has its drawbacks, it does have the positive aspect of being an excellent medium for retaining moisture and promoting healthy root growth in certain plant species. There are also efforts underway to develop more sustainable alternatives to peat moss in gardening practices.

It's so frustrating when you can't find the info you need, especially with tricky plants like delphiniums! Have you had any luck with different germination techniques?

That's a fantastic project to start! Growing a bonsai from a propagation can be a rewarding experience. Just be patient and consistent with your care, as it takes time and dedication to train and maintain a bonsai. Good luck, and enjoy the journey of watching your bonsai develop!

You've made some great points about the varying degrees of difficulty in propagating different carnivorous plants. It's true that Nepenthes can range widely in propagation time depending on the species, while Sarracenia's need for cold stratification adds another layer of complexity. Roridula's requirement for smoke treatment for seed germination definitely places it in a more challenging category. Thanks for sharing!

Great question! I usually use the aquarium water, from my personal fish tank, to feed my plants during growing season.

Best of luck! 🤞🏼

Sorry about that. In this video, I show where I made the cuts more clearly: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rdZhra6rl7W6e5c.html

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip! I’m working on it 💪🏼
