Finally Taking Care of my Philodendron Melanochrysum Propagations and Extended a GrowPole!

[@noelle7714]

The melo cuttings remind me so much of micans. I guess that’s why I like micans so much, they have the looks of an expensive plant. 😂

I just love your voice so meek and mild! 😊

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!!

[@doublezhang3875]

❤❤thank you for sharing these! I’m so curious how you keep your kitties from biting the plants 😂 my cat used to be so chill but started to chew off all my precious Calathea lately… it really saddens me cause I’ve had them since the beginning of the pandemic and they have given me so much hope and comfort

[@hamtons1990]

Thanks for the very clear and thorough video! Melanochrysums get huge on Thiccly GrowPoles! Hope it becomes a leafy bush for you!

[@plantsbymelissa]

I can’t wait for that! I used to have a melano a long time ago it was a prop and didn’t make it so hoping this one will grow better for me! 🤗

[@zandrawostel3765]

Beautiful Melano. Can't wait for the babies to climb the pole and see how it looks all filled out. So exciting.

[@lindagailsch]

Great video Melissa. Thanks for sharing all your helpful tips & working so hard on your videos!

[@richardlawton1023]

Another great video and …love your socks 🙂

[@kelsiewortham5885]

I hear a humming in the background? Maybe your camera? Amazing video as always. 🖤

[@mayasalgado2595]

Such beautiful healthy babies ❤. Great step by step video, you make it look very easy 😅. Love your cats, I have one named Luna 🐈‍⬛. How long did you have the props in that perfect container? Thank you for the video, love it 🥰

[@plantsbymelissa]

Thank you!! They’re so cute 🥹 I love the name Luna! I started those wetsticks probably 5 months ago! I could have potted them up by now but then I noticed the fungus on the melano plant so I wanted to wait a bit ☺️

💓Beautiful!!💓Thanks for the info!

Some of my Alocasia have gotten a type of mold on the soil. I did not see any spider mites, and I’ve treated them as a precaution. I’ve changed the top couple inches of of soil before but it’s back. Have you ever experienced that?

[@plantsbymelissa]

I get white fuzzy mold sometimes but I usually get it when there isn’t enough air flowing around or the top of the pot is blocked somehow. I usually scrape it off and you can add some cinnamon to the top as a fungicide to help get rid of it too ☺️

[@marymiller5824]

@@plantsbymelissa Thank You! Wow! Those props and Momma plant are gorgeous! Good luck with them, can’t wait to see them this summer

I have a question: my philodendron Goldie finger leaf lost all its leaves and went dormant, how do I take care of a dormant philo? The same thing happen to my Alocasia zebrina

[@dendee1148]

Good job removing all the moss and only losing a little of the roots...I am not sure if I would be able to do it...Lovely plant babies and cat babies

[@taylorjohnson5939]

How do you know when to water your moss poles?

[@plantsbymelissa]

I water mine twice a week. The moss tends to dry out in a couple days so I try to stay on top of keeping them moist but it can be a lot of work!

[@Sophia1991sd]

this looks like EFN(extra floral nectaris) damage. my Melanocrysome produces so much of that sap that if I want to keep it's leaves healthy looking I have to wash and cleanse the leaves whenever I see any EFN on it(every few days)
