Ardisia Crenata Houseplant Coral Berry | Botanibabies

[@jrupton1]

The shape of this plant and the scalloped leaves makes me want to find one. I’m limited on space but I really like the way the plant looks. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in a store but I’ll definitely be looking now. I have three fur babies who are seniors so I’d definitely have to keep the berries picked up. I think this plant would be worth the trouble. Thanks so much for sharing this video. I knew absolutely nothing about this before. As always, I really enjoyed this.

Thanks Janice!!! I must say, the berries do look really pretty lol. I got this one at Lowe’s about 6 or so ago. It’s weird how they sometimes get random items here and there. Hoping you can get one!! ❤️🪴

I have thousands of these plants growing wild

[@gmatt2498]

You get lots of good light in your home for those plants. I have to wait to put outside my terrace. Oh did get my moisturizer meter! The easy one and I love it! Works so well thanks so much 😁🌿

[@Botanibabies]

Yay for the moisture meter!!! I remember when I first got it and was like omg, where has this been all my life lol. Glad you’re enjoying it 🤗🪴

What kind of soil to use

[@DirtyFastingLife]

I have one of those ...they live forever but mine will grow and die back..it literally looks like it's about to die and struggles back to live.. It's never bloomed for me unfortunately

[@Botanibabies]

Mine did that when I first repotted it! I almost threw it away lol. Then out of nowhere it started to grow so much. I wonder if yours is in a pot too big? Maybe once it has fully grown in its pot it will grow blossoms 🤞🏽. Although maybe it’s best that it doesn’t blossom, it’s less to pick up/vacuum 🤣

I don’t think that soapy water will affect the thrips at all. Maybe it will eradicate spider mites and mealy bugs, but thrips are tough. Sorry you lost so many of your collection.

[@Botanibabies]

Thanks J! Yeah, I’ve started to just get rid of any plants that have thrips on them altogether 😢. Not worth risking any more spread. I just realized I only have 2 obtusifolias left 😭 because of the thrips. Well... I guess stuff like this happens every now and then.
