Hi, My ponytail palm has what looks like rust spots towards the base of the leaves closest to the stem of the plant. What is the cause of this?
@MsPearlJam1234 күн бұрын
Hi, thank you for the video. I've had this Ponytail plant for many years but recently it has lost many lower leafs. What would you suggest to make sure I do not lose my plant? I have just repot it. I took a photo but not sure how to post it. Thanks.

Glad you enjoyed! I do have a couple repotting videos on KZbin. I'm actually launching an orchid care course later this month and it contains a repotting module with a lot of information, among other content. It contains comprehensive information on all aspects of orchid growing and blooming. I will also be creating a lot more orchid content on KZbin soon after the course launches.

How often should i change the water?
@OhioTropics7 күн бұрын
It doesn't have to be too often, but I'd say once a week or whenever the water looks cloudy. It won't be in the water terribly long since they root quickly.

Thank you for your good info. what is the best time to water the Orchid in a tropical climate country.
@OhioTropics7 күн бұрын
If your conditions are very warm, it'll have to be more frequently. It just all depends on when your potting medium dries out. Phalaenopsis orchids don't like to stay completely dry. It also depends on if you have your orchid growing in bark versus moss.

Why should we avoid air gaps in the bark mix? When an orchid grows on the bark of a tree, its roots are partly in the air, aren’t they?
@OhioTropics16 күн бұрын
Hi there. I just meant to avoid large areas in the pot with no bark. Yes, you are correct. But bark mix, even when it is settled properly in a pot, still has plenty of air available to the roots. :-)
@Ashtonsnana18 күн бұрын
But what do I do with all the overgrown roots outside of the pot? Cut off or not?
@OhioTropics16 күн бұрын
I would leave those roots in the air and not trim them. Some people tuck them into the bark mix when they repot, but depending on how long the roots are, they may have a harder time adjust to being in a mix after they've gotten used to growing in the air.

This is very helpful, thank you! I have a pothos that has sat in the same place for several years and does really well. I recently took one of the longer vines and tacked it to the wall in the adjacent room. If that vine doesn't get the same light as the main plant, would that affect the leaves? They started turning yellow just on this vine and I am trying to figure out why. I also did neglect to water for a time period and then resumed, so maybe it is still healing, but I wondered if light levels affect the farther end of vines or just the main plant. I hope my question makes sense. Thank you!
@OhioTropics16 күн бұрын
You're very welcome! And I think I understand your question. As long as it's not too dark, it sounds like the yellowing could just be from neglecting to water. If the room where you tacked it onto the wall is pretty dark though, that could also be a contributing factor.
@ganymede1371Ай бұрын
2 of my Pothos leaves are yellow, but I actually water them everyday.... Is it because of overwatering?
@OhioTropics16 күн бұрын
It could potentially be. Are you needing to water daily? Is the surface of the soil still moist right before you water again? If it is, I would wait until the surface dries out before watering.

I’m going to repot a pt palm that has a single trunk that’s leaning or bent to an extreme. Is there a way to repot it that would encourage the trunk to straighten over time? I’ve tried placing the trunk straight up and down in the pot but then the leaves all look like they’re sideways. Thanks for any advice!

It probably would be difficult to straighten out completely, but's hard to say! Is the trunk itself very stiff? Does it budge at all?

@michaelcarnohanАй бұрын
Propagation will take place faster if you do not change the water. Changing it once to twice a week, should be replaced by once, one time, at the one month mark. And even then, if there is not a lot of visible algae, it may not need to take place at all during the root propagation period.
@michaelcarnohanАй бұрын
If you're interested, it could be a follow up video to test this. 😉
@michaelcarnohanАй бұрын
The reason behind it is enzyme release by the cuttings that repair the other cuttings and promote growth. The signalling of this by multiple cuttings is greater than by one alone. And is beneficial. If you change the water, you lose this benefit.

@OhioTropicsАй бұрын
Keep in mind that when you purchase an orchid, especially if all the flowers are open, you don't know how long they have been open for and the flowers could be near the end of their lifespan. Add to this the change in environment, and it can affect things even more. Just know that with good care, your orchid will rebloom every year and once your plant gets used to your environment, you will be able to enjoy your flowers for a longer period of time :-)
