Hi Sean another good topic👍. Most of the nursery growers here in US use cocopeat and slow release fertilizer on almost all houseplants even succulents🤔 so they dont have to keep watering the plants.(Base on plants I purchased) And they are always on plastic pots, and they do fairly well on warmer months but detrimental on plants during winters. So I find using different soil mix on different species of plants save my collections. (Just common plants🤗)
@onlyplants3 жыл бұрын
Yeap the nurseries there seems to grow everything in a massive scale and efficiency is their top priority. Most plants can adapt to the potting mix in which they were propagated into. But they can do even better when given potting mix that resemble closely their natural habitat.

Its a process called guttation and its normal for plants do shed excess water. And yes often times its a sign of overwatering but often times its normal as well. The only way to know if you have overwatered is if you stick a moisture meter in the soil before watering 😌
