I just bought seeds and gonna try to grow my caladium plants

Can it be used mixed in with other substrates? And if i use only pon will the roots be water roots that would eventually need semi hydro fertilizer? Got myself a bag and trying to find the best way to use it before i commit most of my plants to it 😅

New subbie here!!! Your energy is contagious and I'm here for it!🥰 Im a total "ingrower", but I lost my plant family because I "loved on them" too much!!! I just had "Peter Parker"(spider plant), left & he began to thrive...I then purchased 2 cuttings which have also thrived so far...Your enthusiasim and encouragement has lit the wick and im ready for the next level!...glad i found you but sad, you mentioned i cannot purchase from you...yet!!! I'll have to do some research on your gift of growing after I finish this current "rabbit hole" im in...lol...safe life to you/&fam and Merry Christmas🎄 - be safe and take care!😎

Hi I’m just commenting again because I put a whole lot of Hoya props in tree fern fibre. That was about 2 weeks ago in little clear pots, do I need to wait until the TFF is completely dry until watering again? It’s probably 90% dry right now

Hi i hope you dont mind me asking do you know any reputable tissue culture places that can ship internationally as none are remotely near me here in africa

Hello, Can you explain how you water your orchids that are in your tree fern fiber / bark mix ? Please And Thank you !

Loved watching the video, all the plants you had for sale look amazing and very well grown. I especially love the chrystalinums as well as all the begonias. Glad all three markets were successful and worth the big effort you put into it.

You sure have your packing down to a fine art - well done 👏👏 Glad you did well at the markets. Thanks for the video it was great 👍

It looks like you sometimes use a wick and other times not. Could you clarify. Thanks

Hi I’ve just bought a bag of this (I’m in Australia or I would have bought from you cos you have the best video I’ve found on tree fern fibre!). I always water until water runs out the bottom, is that overdoing it? I’m a bit new to plants. I want to experiment with growing Hoyas fully in tree fern fibre (I really splashed out and got the 40L bag)

Very interesting indeed. I also love that you put them into transparent pots

Thank you. and love your hollyhocks. They remind me of my Dad :( xx

Loved the video. I just started experimenting with it so it's too soon for results but I have heard only good things about it.

thank you for the tips. my alos are in a soil mix with mostly perlite, and they’ve been doing great, but I have to water consistently, so i think pon will be better for that :)

What do you fertilize your Hoyas with?

What was the little hand held printer you use, if I remember correctly it was a Brother. I desperately need one my names have got seriously out of hand 😒😵‍💫😵‍💫

My Alocasia are absolutely LOVING this substrate.

Love the fishtail Hoya! Adding it to my wish list.

Hi there, new subbed here! Great repotting video, enjoyed it a lot! How often do you water them if they are in room environment?😊

Thank you for this great info! Are you using the fine grade for your alocasia? I repotted a peace lily into medium grade biopon yesterday, wondering now if the fine grade would have been better?

Everything looking good! Question please - how often roughly do you water? And also how do you determine what substrate to use for each plant? I just learnt watching this that the house plant mix stays wet longer than tree fern?? I always thought it would be the other way around! 🤦‍♀️ lol

Thanks Rachel - good one 👏👏 Must feel good to have them all up to date now.

Can you grow hoya in straight TFF permanently in a nursery pot (free draining) in regular house conditions (we have good light/sunblasters and 65% humidity) for years and years? How do you know when to water? Do you let it dry out and change color to light brown (like how you find TFF in the bag when you first buy it and it is dry), or do you keep it moist, but no standing water? I have hoya in 3"pots and let them dry out too much I think and lost a few of the roots on the outer edges of the pot... Thank you for your videos :)

How dry do you let the treefern get before you water again? Can you grow hoya, aroids out of the pop box iunto maturity? Are you using any kind of reservoir, or just watering though to keep it consistently moist? Thank you for a wonderful video :)

I think there are better differences rather than leaf patterns: Monstera Thai Cons has tight internodal spacing, Borsigianas (albos, aureas, etc...) has longer internodal spacing. Thais can get huge, Borsigianas are smaller in leaf size. Thais as Deliciosas have ruffles where the leaf attaches to the stems, Borsigianas wont show this trait (some might show in its mature state though). Bosigianas are climbers, Thai Cons they can go either way, climb or crawl.

Also Thai Constellations get hugeeee

It looks good. Especially when it's giving you new leaves.

I’m not a repotting lover - love the end result but hate the mess I seem to make 😂😂 Thanks for the hydrogen peroxide soaking tip 👍👍👍

How do you keep so many different kinds of plants in the same area since all of them require different things like humidity and what not. How do you keep a happy medium for all of them. Thank you

Hi Rachel! Would love to see plant care videos for specific plant types for NZ climates! - you could do a new plant type each month or one big one if you prefer. I love watching those videos but they're always from American/British youtubers not sure how it differs for us or if it does much at all. I enjoy watching your videos when they come out and would love to see that kind of content from you if you're up for it/have the time😊

Hi Rachael, Thank you for sharing information about the repotting plants and especially the plants with roots coming out from the bottom.

We definitely need a grow tent tour 😍😍

Your grow tent will have to expand or no more new plants 😂

Hi Rachel. I enjoyed this busy video so much. Glad the Orchid Show went well for you. I used to be involved with a local Society and their shows. There was a guy who grew and sold Phals and people just couldn't get enough. He sold out almost every year on the first day. It was so enjoyable, I loved being a part of the action.

very sad that it has taken so long for the flowers to open. I have buds. Perhaps it will bloom after I bring it inside. We will have a frost within 2 months.

Great info ! Thx

👏👏👏 Excellent Rachael. I have a lot of repotting to do this spring & tbh I hate repotting 🫣🫣

ah just what I needed to see! now to buy some tree fern fibre🎉

Great video, I'm building one of these steel mates greenhouses this weekend, have been procrastinating since it it was delivered over a month ago. Hope they have the right parts for us.

I love those trelis..where can I find those trelis plz???

Huge nice collection but not a lot of fragrances

Hello Rachel from Puerto Rico!! I love Hoyas!! Your collection is beautiful!! My Linearis is also giving me stress. Just subscribed. I recently started my English speaking channel and would appreciate your support. Thank you!! 🙋🏼‍♀️🪴

Is GT foliage focus enough when using Pon or will I need to switch to Complete?

Thank you for making this video. Im a beginner and loving pon so far. My little tip is that ive glued some little mesh circles onto the holes on your 14cm pots to stop the pon falling through.

Lechuza have a non fertilised mix now too

Lechuza now has a large chunky size Pon but it’s not available in the united states yet.

Do you let your reservoir dry out before watering again?

PON (and/or LECA) is the only way I can have Alocasias with more than 1 leaf at a time. I have slowly switched many other plants (Hoya, Schismatoglottis, Homalomena, Monstera, vining Philodendron, Maranta, Calatheas, Stromanthe, Peperomia, and even a few of my snake plants) to semi-hydro, mostly because I find rocky substrates easier to maintain. I really love the product you presented, especially in that it comes in different "pebble" sizes.

I intend to grow my alocasias in pon. They are babies right now in stratum. I have had no luck with alocasias but these have made it over a week 😮 maybe I am onto something. Thanks for the tips 😊

Hi Rachel. I've recently started using Pon and was fortunate to get a large bag of Lechusa. I decided to add some jumbo perlite as well as small leca just to lighten the weight of the larger pots. Also, I've put wicks in the pots to ensure my mix is taking up the water. So far it's working brilliantly for me, I love not having to deal with the mess that I make with soil and being able to reuse the Pon. I do wish we could get a coarser one in Australia, it may be out there but I haven't found it yet. Thank you so much for sharing your very informative video on Pon, I'm definitely a convert to semi hydro with Pon and even intend to switch a lot of my plants from leca to Pon.
