[@realityjunky]

I REALLY enjoy your coaching! I did so many things today that are directly related to your videos. General maintenance of my indoor garden, setting up new things, editing out old ones and even discovered a tiny, weak looking spider plant with thick, gigantic roots absolutely filling the pot. We've got three generations in other pots and we think this was the original plant. I checked for root rot, just as you've taught, found none. Now it's in a nice new space and it will be very interesting to see what it does. My orchids are blooming and I'm getting the upper hand on the gnat population. If I ever feel daunted by the chores, all I have to do is watch one of your lessons. Your enthusiasm is contagious! 🌱🌿☘🌺☘🍃🌷🌻

I've got plants I've been growing in LECA, lava rock, and such for a bit more than a year now. They're doing well. I love the fact that soilless plants don't draw bugs, and they're so easy to take care of. Switching to soilless was a natural progression for me, since I have houseplants growing out of the backs of aquariums since I've been doing aquaponics and hydroponics for a few years now. I've been surprised at just how many houseplants grow well that way.

[@maureen3621]

For a number of years now I’ve grown a houseplants in soilless glass vases of different sizes and shapes. I have various cacti in an old hexagon aquarium all different shapes and sizes. Not only are they all thriving but they look very stylish and it’s easier to monitor the moisture levels. My cacti won’t need watering again until next spring.

[@dawnt6791]

@@maureen3621 Do you have the cacti growing soilless, too?

[@maureen3621]

@@dawnt6791 It’s basically an experiment to see what happens if I use different growing mediums. I started out using an old goldfish bowl that I planted cactus in using cactus soil and scattered seashells. Someone had dumped the hexagon aquarium behind my house which gave me the opportunity for repurposing it. For that I bought aquarium sand and added a few rocks. I’m not an expert but I’m more curious about what kind of substrate works. Also, with it being glass you can assess how much water to use.

I was really interested in how you water your orchids. I've had good results flooding the root ball with fertilizer water while the plant stays in it's outer pot. I let them soak for about an hour to saturate the bark pieces, then drain the inner pot thoroughly. I've had my oldest orchid for over 11 years now and it blooms at least once a season.

[@feyHiker]

Thank you for this video! I have an echeveria with a 45 cm stem! I wanted to chop and repot it but thought no, not until I see what Mr. Sheffield would do. Now I am waiting to see if you have a bird of paradise. I have had mine for 48 years and it hasn't blossomed yet but it is quite big and has spawned four additional plants. I have a very small apartment so will one day need to rehome it.

[@SheffieldMadePlants]

Not got that one yet

[@7sins_of_life]

Is it a white or orange Bird of paradise? Getting the orange one to bloom is easier, but in most cases it's probably just lack of light. In the wild they tend to grow in full sun. I highly suggest looking up their native range to get an idea of what your plant could be missing!

[@7sins_of_life]

Fungus gnats CAN live in Leca/ Pon/ Semi-Hydro, it's just way harder for them. But Semi-hydro is so good for the roots! I usually mix Pon and Leca for smaller plants/ finer roots just to have more area of contact but otherwise I tend to prefer Leca, because of the price, weight and it's chunky. I noticed that a chunky semi-hydro medium makes my plants grow thicker, less spindly roots! I tend to avoid perlite for semi-hydro because it turns to dust so quickly and it falls out the bottom/ top a lot (plus the dust is terrible for your lungs). I've noticed that, next to the obvious candidates like Alocasia and Philodendron, Bird of Paradise and String of hearts love semi-hydro as well!

[@alanjones2207]

Glad to see you are going down the semi hydro route. You need to try pon . If you do you will find calathea are no longer a problem 😊

I like redirecting my aerial roots to the soil. Prerooted if you want to chop and prop. My Alocasia game has gone from struggle to a 9 since I switched to Pon. The transition took a good 6 months, they are fabulous now. The corms I propped from the mother plant took off immediately in Pon. Definitely love them in semi hydro.

I lost so many orchids due to crone rot from drops of water that got stuck where the leaves start... Now I have an "orchid tower", I've built a wooden ladder, put some maple cuttings on the side, a plastic foil to close that behind, I filled it with moss and bark, and I planted quite a few orchids in there. It's standing on my windowsill in the corner, two of them bloomed over summer. I'm not really on top of watering, but as they are not standing, I can shower them to wet the moss properly, all water can drip away and doesn't get trapped between the leaves. They're all growing new leaves, so I think they quite enjoy.

Question, if you grow in perlite how does the plant not get root rot if the roots are constantly at the bottom sat in water ? Like your Monstera ?

[@anagilca5992]

Because the water has oxigen. The reason roots rot usually is because there is no oxigen around them, like when you have wet soil all the time.

[@my.journal.lab27]

Every time I see your beautiful orchides, I want to try to grow some on my own, Mr Sheffield. Unfortunately, hydrangeas and orchides hate my place (or just me)... But did you also try some mineral mixed substracts? They are much better than perlite to grow plants semihydrocultured. Also one thing you could try is a special mineral fertilizer for the semihydrocultures :) Organic fertilizer often requiers soil with its microbiom to decompose before being absorbed by the roots. Best wishes from (far too hot) Germany! ^^
