It also depends on how establish the pup roots are. A lot of factors to raising a pup. Watering, media should be kept moist until the plant is more established. Lighting can be the same as the parent plant. Media density depends on your grow area the usual free draining is good.

Hi, these are 2 ways to hybrid. 1) Mix the spores together and hope they hybrid 2) when the spores are in the gametophyte stage put them together. Side by side.

Happy to share. Hope you enjoyed the sharing.

yes, they work fine.

The ruler being angled or straight doesn’t affect the plane-just focus on the straight edge. You can use any straight object, like a ruler or a stick. I flipped the direction to show the difference between right and wrong alignments. Plants aren’t always rigid, so understanding it from different angles helps. It’s about understanding the general alignment, not being overly strict. If you can’t find the growth bud then either it is dead or the plant is still young.

kzbin.infoEoVxLil7G2U?si=MPd9hF5FNSuXJ5UO​​@TheRootCulturist thanks so much for your reply. Could I send you some photos of the plant so you can tell me where the horizontal plane is and where's the bud? ​@@TheRootCulturist

@limyeesze sure, our email is [email protected]

I will try to do one in future but it’s not the easiest to keep in tropical Singapore. They just grow weaker.

White light about 1000lux range with a 12 hours is good.

Possible but with growing in water tray, perlite always float.

It’s hard to dictate water every 3 days or every 5 days because each grow area is different. Need to also adjust to the environment. For ridleyi, it’s a good practice to let the plant dry out before the next watering. Morning sun, good airflow is good for the plant.

Hi, a photo would help. You can send to our email [email protected].

Hi, if the growth point is black or soft then it’s likely dead. If 1 has some green, that one alone may be strong enough to produce pups to eventually bring it back to its former glory. You can try with systemic which helps to get rid of sucking type insects. Check your local nursery they should be able to advise one for suitable ferns.

Thank you. All the best in the mada journey!

Hi, 1) For indoor growing you will need to supplement led lights Par30 E27 lights works well. If the plant can acclimate to your indoor condition they are quite hard actually. 2) 18-30°C is a good range 3) Sphagnum is ok. Let the plant dry out before watering. Good airflow is critical 4) Could just be old leaves. It hard to visualise without seeing a photo of it.

The “capsule” is not a pod just one seed. Sow the whole thing.

You can. For intermediate plants you can set it at 22°C. Unless, you plan to keep highland you’ll need to have a 10°C drop.

@@TheRootCulturist thanks a lot

It’s cut to size. Can get from plant nurseries. Drainage cell

No it doesn’t. Unless, the plant is albino or is pollinated with other albino.

@TheRootCulturist Thank you, another question, if I polinate the same flower are the Sedd's going to be Viable? My neighbor has a desert rose plant, and he doesn't polinate them,but the seed's that come out of his plant they're mature but very tiny and skinny, none of them grow, thank you.

@josegomez7051 yes it will be viable. Which stage are those when they are ready to disperse? Likely it wasn’t pollinate right or the plant is still a bit young.

@TheRootCulturist Thank you, we have some desert rose youtube channel's giving misinformation.

Not dark, there should be some light. Greenhouse set up is ok. Under a shaded tree with dappled light is also ok.

Hi, slow release fertiliser. Upside down is ok. However, after a while still prefer the upright one with growing it upright, water doesn’t retain too much at the core since gravity pulls it away.

Drainage cell

@@TheRootCulturist is this better than mounting on wood?

@swaroopsingharoy there isn’t a one style fits all kind of thing. Each material has its pros and cons. Some fare better in certain environment some don’t. Pros for wood is roots latch onto wood. While cons is that it can get heavy and restricts airflow. While pros of drainage cell is good airflow while cons is hard to extract pups that have grown on the back

That would be somewhere along the western hemisphere? Seems tough but yes if you could up the humidity and provide it a good strong led light that could be a solution for it to thrive.

Will consider longer videos in the future. Thanks for your feedback!

Yes, in the tropics black spot occurs when it’s warmer day and night related to heat stress. Ellisii thrives in moist conditions, so it's essential to maintain adequate moisture levels while ensuring proper airflow to prevent rot.

Yes that’s right. Can take some out and change into a new container too.

@@TheRootCulturist Thanks!

Hi, it depends on the plant type.

@@TheRootCulturist ok

Hi, where are you from? You can reach out to us on Instagram therootculturist

Hi, it depends. The typical ones are environment (low light, sudden change in temperature), watering (media too water retaining, media dries out too quickly), Pest (Root mealybugs) Have you’ve checked one of the pots to see if it is indeed root rot? What is the media that is used?

Glad you found it useful

Hi, hovered between a few. Mainly oem non branded ones. Quantum Style Boards, panel. Pinkish hue, white lights.

@TheRootCulturist Okay, do these lights release a lot of heat? Also, would you mind making a video about the ink bird: how it works and how you have changed things over time about the temperatures? I am currently trying to build a Highland setup and can't seem to get the temperatures right. Thank you!

@DroneShenanigans8 they do but they aren’t like those lights of the past. Pl, T5, MH lights those you get a bad burn by touching it. Sure, will do that. What was your issue and what temps have you set.

@@TheRootCulturist Okay... I just can't get the daytime temperatures to about 75 degrees fahrenheit, and I have not been able to think of a simple solution. The nighttime temperatures are good, but the daytime temperatures I can't seem to perfect.

@@TheRootCulturist I saw in one of the other comments that there is an inkbird to solve that problem, but I am worried about it being too cold in the fridge without a way to provide warmth except for the grow lights. Once I get the right grow lights, I may be able to use the ink bird 24/7 since the grow lights will let off slightly too much heat. Thanks for the help! You have earned a new sub!

Slow release fertiliser

Peat / sand

@@TheRootCulturisthow do you actually achieve to give nutrients to the plant do you dose liquid fertilizers/ plant root tabs or is it just the peat

@ulucerolkaynakoz2419 not often but sometimes will do a light spray of seaweed extract and fish emulsion. In most cases just peat breaking down is sufficient.
