If that was my Anthurium I would definitely up pot it and also take it out of terracotta only because those anthurium like fairly consistent moisture and the terracotta could possibly be causing it to dry out quicker. I would either place it deeper into the substrate or top it with sphagnum moss. What kind of soil do you have it in and do you fertilize it at all?

I don’t understand why people have to shower every morning and night. Also when I use to work there is always people on the bus going to work with wet hair. Is crazy. Now i am a full time mum i just wash my hair twice a week and let it air dry. I only blow dry and using the hair straightener if i was going somewhere special and occasions now. Just so much hassle blow drying your hair at times when i am just at home and not heading out. And only ever shower before bed. Some people don’t do that they just do in the morning and i am like your out all day and sweating etc. I like going to bed feeling clean and fresh and don’t want a smelly bed either.

Oh 100% I was a bit ridiculous before. I would shower after the gym on the evening and in the morning for a full hair wash. I wished I had hair that I could wash every 3-4 + days. I’m so jealous of those people, especially with how long mine is. 😩

@@edwardwiper1323 ah we have very different styles in working. We’re undoing everything that a former owner did similar to you. So absolutely no cement in this house (it leads to issues down the line) and restoring it back to its former glory. Our house was modernised before us and unfortunately it’s what caused it issue. Our stone house needs to be restored with breathable materials, so hot lime plaster over gypsum and plaster board.

generally with pon you can either mix it in with the soil, or put a layer at the bottom of the pot so you still get most of the benefits. also next time, if you want to remove the tougher to reach bits of soil from the roots, try soaking it off in water - that's what i've seen most people do. then repeat with new water until it's all gone, it's a lot gentler than trying to do it all by hand.

You’re very right. The pole one of my Albos has stuck to is a better coco coil pole, which resembles a moss pole more than these cheap ones and the roots love it and the plant is thankful for it.

Hi! Thats never nice, when plants get sick - but we all have been there at some point! Every new plant opens up that possibility. With any desease, you should immedeately isolate the plants so it does not spread. Otherwise, all plants will get infested fast. The last plant honestly looks like thrips to mee. They like the viny ones. Especially the dots are a dead giveaeay i think. though I never have seen a funghi infection. I had a thrips infestation and some variaties are so small that you cannot see them with the eyes, you can only diagnose by yellow leaves, tiny dark spots and "scars" or "scratches". The thrips also go to monsteras ,epiprenums, etc. by the way. I was not able to get rid of it without treatment; it was the first time a ever used one, ever, but it helped and today they are healthy. Had to spray the leaves of ALL of my plants several times though. With the mealy bugs, in my experience, if it went THAT far, all you can do is protect your other plants. If you see only one, put it in another room, cover it with plastic, never touch other plants right after it without washing hands. You could transfer eggs or tiny insects. To me, if I had a plant like that, i would sadly throw it away, before they infest everything else. On the other hand, you can ask yourself: What happend to your plants,what can you chance? For me, i will never get a plant and not isolate it first, because thats how i got thrips in the first place and it was quite a struggle to get rid of them. I dont use organic soil anymore. That reduces risk for root rot, funghi, and a lot of insects who love organic substrates. i prefere perlite (100l for 20 Euros, goes a long way) OR cocos fibre and perlite mix. It also avoids soggy soil and even if the soil is wet, it provides a lot of 02 for the roots. Wish you luck with your plant babies!
@AbiBloomUK
@AbiBloomUK 2 ай бұрын
I’m unfortunately very experienced with thrips and the EP doesn’t have thrips, luckily. Someone suggested checking the roots which is a good point. The mealy bug plant is full isolated in its own room. I hadn’t realised they fly when adults though! That’s crazy. With the new plants I isolate for weeks, if not months before moving them into the same space as I’ve learnt from part experience it’s essential it’s done. I think it might be time the EP goes though.

Nice video! I do several things with my tetra: You can take a longer vine and pin it to the ground (or put damp moss with plastic over a node) and after it formed roots, i cut it = new, quite big plant. For faster growing, I cut 1 leaf with one node and root them in water or lecca and later plant them at the bottom of the old plant. That makes everything bushy and the new little ones have something to climb over. Love this!

Mealybugs are the worse. I usually manually use a cotton bud to remove what i can see. Then I use neem oil, lemon dish soup and mix together with water in a spray bottle. And drenched the plant. And leave it on for 5 - 10 mins. Then wipe it down. But i nearly have that bad of infestation when is that bad i would soak the plant in a deep container. I do a couple of times. Then rinse with clear water. The last year and half i have been using preventative once a month and clean the leaves everytime i watet my plants. And that helps alot.
