hi , beautiful plants ,do your alocasias go dormant each year , or is there a way to stop them going dormant ?

hi , dont alocasia go dormant every year , thats why i dont have any i had 2 once a few years ago they went dormant and i didnt know they did that and put them in the bin , found out later by watching you tube that they go dormant and come back in the spring ,

What is your nutrient recipe? I just started following you, so you may have already answered this. 😊😊

What type of fertilizer do you use 🤔 😊

Hey girl!! You’re quickly becoming one of my favorite plant KZfaqrs 😊 I’m watching as I set up my ikea akerbar! A quick note on spider mites, I used to only spray a diluted rubbing alcohol mix every week a couple of times and then wonder why the mites never went away. I recently heard to use a makeup brush (the stiff foundation ones) after spraying to physically wipe every nook and cranny of the leaves and stems, then spray again (including the soil, pot and surrounding area). Do this twice about 3-5 days apart, I do it a third because I’m paranoid. It’s too soon to say as it’s only been a couple of weeks but I haven’t see a single mite on my Jacklyn since using this method! Apparently, spider mite webbing is hydrophobic which is why using a brush is so important. If you don’t destroy their houses they will keep hatching and come for your plants. Random question, you don’t have to answer 😅 are you a stay at home wife? Anywho, great content as always 🙂

Thank you for sharing your experience with us Claudia 😊 I’m glad you had some success. I’m new ish to owning plants and I have not yet had a pest outbreak. Beneficial bugs are an interesting subject and I’m definitely going to look more into them. However, I see mixed reviews even based on your personal experiences. I hope you’re able to get everything under control soon. You have such a beautiful collection 💖

Wow, this company seems like much better quality than natures good guys. I have not had a good experience with them, always arriving dead. I once asked for a replacement and the replacement came in dead as well. I don’t think I will be ordering from natures good guys again. I find that they do not have good insulation on their boxes and they only provide dry ice, not an ice pack. I will definitely have to give this company a try!

You are soo right about cutting off blooms i also read that cutting off blooms too early stunts their growth i also read that when corm digging you should never remove all the corms because that supposedly takes energy away from the alocasia that it needs to continue to grow. It makes sense to me because at one point i was cutting all the blooms as soon as they came out and i would remove all the corms when repotting and doing both definitly stunted their growth it took forever for them to bounce back and the blooms dont stop coming just because they were removed too soon, i guess they need to bloom flowers and use their corms to continue to grow as they do in their natural environment, i love corm digging soo much

I love self watering pots . It’s like the pot saying watch this . 😎

How do you transfer from stratum to pon without killing the plant? Every time i transfer the alocasia dies..

Don’t you shoddy also have a calathe tristar

Hi Claudia, where do you buy your preventative bugs for spider mites? I am glad that it is working! Thanks. P.S. do you have a Bambino and are they prone to spider mites too? I am bought one (coming soon in plant mail). Thanks again for your wonderful videos!!

I love watching your videos😊

So excited for a new video Claudia! I love seeing your beautiful collection 😊

💚💚💚

I see you have those 4 in planters u repotted in, what size are the ones you repotted from and where did u find them

I cant see which insecticidal stuff you are using ....theres writing in the way 🤔 Im having a gnat problem so i dunno if i can get the same stuff you use

41:36 Did they ship you thrips as replacement? You must’ve made them angry 😂😂😂

35:34 watch tiny bug smile at you on something black. You can clearly see it move. As soon as she says “…it’s just like”

Can you please show/explain a spent node a little bit more in depth, please! 🙏 I feel like I hold on to cuttings that I don't need to. I have a hard time throwing any cuttings away... even if I am out of space!

Great information! Thank you for putting this video together.

Omg I love the red Anderson 😮 never seen them before ❤ that so pretty 😍 I can buy it or we can trade love those little prop boxes with the built in light I've had success with spend nodes maby my plants are just weird but I got a spent node monstera and she grew ❤

The Green Escape sells good plants for a reasonable price, I've only lost 1 and that was more my fault than the plants, it is just they are small (I like growing them out). The only caution is not all of the plants they sell as varieties are clones, so you may not get what you expect. Case in point, I ordered an Anthurium King of Spades from them a number of months ago. Nothing wrong with the plant, has been healthy and easy to grow. But, it is clearly seed grown and it is a dog. If you Google what it should look like, mine looks nothing like it. I will probably not keep it (well, it will probably get planted outside anyway) as there are other plants that could utilize that space.

You're always so pleasant to listen to

Do they sell this moss online? The one I get from Amazon has been horrible

May I ask how much light you give the pink black velvet ? How many lux or foot candles ?

Where to exactly keep plants after repotting like this ?

Where do you keep the plants after repotting? Directly under grow light or any shade place

Can this be used for all indoor plants or any specific variety of plants

Please share the details of the potting soil mix used

I believe you have to add Silica first and wait 5-15 minutes before you add anything else to it. Also, not sure if this silica works with tap water since it usually requires a certain ph level

Thank you for the advice

pourquoi je n'arrive pas a obtenir la traduction de vos videos en francais excellent travail!

Wow. Claudia. Great tedious job. YOUR CABINET LOOKS AMAZING.

Hi. I just start corns yesterday, using a different method. You’re the second person that I’ve seen using that substrate. Can you please share what kind it is? Is it a charcoal of some sort? Thank you.

I love your setup Claudia! You have great taste and a beautiful collection. I’ve really been enjoying your content 😊

Where you get that clear box

Do you always prop in perlite and is that fine perlite?

u soil mix no good thats all

how is it doing now?

Can you provide information on the grow light? Your link is not working. Do you use the one foot light? THANKS

I’ve just recently heard this too, to not cut the inflos, let it go through the hormonal change. I’m not a fan of the big hole it leaves behind either, I’m getting so many blooms right now when I wanted more leaves 😂

💚💚💚

I'm using fruval statum atm . But I'm worried leca will damage their rooots, Do you have any ideas☺️x

You got me with that purple prince 😎🤩😎🤩

Amazon "cake collars" work well for Anthurium extensions.

What brand perlite do you use?
