See I actually love “plants I regret buying” videos, even though they’re “negative” cause it helps talk me out of too many impulse buys

[@kristiemowry3267]

yes, me too!

[@leaftheraccoon]

The staghorn probably needed a bigger container with more moss because it was just draining the moss it had so fast. I don't think there's any saving it tho. :(

[@tonyamiller4956]

I sold my plants that didn't bring me joy 😂

[@chaneldecorativeplants6764]

Main ke tempat saya kaka

[@kendravoracek3636]

The reason the cebu probably died is because you still have it in the nursery pot and in those pot there is black catcher thing so the water doesn't come out and the roots wrap around it and become very root bound.

Keep a water reservoir under the Hoya imbricata till you can repot it it’s in a type of coco chip fibers that are long and wood shaped I think ...I have seen that before my friend had one in the same exact stuff and she kept a water reservoir under the plant and then once the reservoir dried out give it a few days to dry out then do the process all over again and it should start growing a lot better and staying hydrated and you won’t have to worry about watering it every day!!

The dragon scale alocasia was how much???? I just bought two new ones here in Norway because I found them for like 8 dollars each for a small one with 5-7 leaves.

[@babette8985]

same in the Netherlands

[@larawalter7226]

I was JUST thinking that! in Germany I got a silver dragon one at the local store for 3€ 😂

[@whatwhat8097]

Oh no, that poor staghorn. Sphagnum moss becomes very hydrophobic when it is compacted and allowed to over dry out. You may have been watering but the water might not have been reaching the roots. It's best to keep sphagnum moss light and fluffy.

[@VickyHafler]

If your water killed that Cebu Blue I wouldn’t drink it! 😳

[@sheena5201]

That poor cebu blue 😭😭😭😭

[@AshlyMarie_Art]

I found out that my variegated kentiana loves humidity and to be misted. I actually have mine in moss right now and it’s loving it

[@happyhearts9463]

Ahhh this is exactly what I needed to feel better about some of my plant deaths 😅

[@Paula-sw2tt]

All three of my Staghorns are in soil/pots and the are doing really well. I have lost everyone that I have ever mounted.

[@pklfeedtheflame]

Orrrr....I’m thinking for my staghorn, to buy wicking cord, make a kind of kokedama out of it, have it wicking from a cute bottle of water hanging next to it. Something self watering...

[@faithbeautymua8899]

Ahhh the Cebu blue lol nooo did u repot it? Looks like root rot 😭 probably from the big box store not u lol! In Canada a tiny cutting Is like$50

[@cmk5302]

I disagree on the kerii, it's not rootbound at all. It's just maturing in that pot.

[@debrawarrick2911]

Omg, that staghorn is hilarious. Is that petrified...I didn't even know that was possible. It looks kinda cool though. I keep mine mounted as well but I mounted them myself from soil...so not full sphagnum. You might have better luck if u buy another in a pot and mount it yourself, preserving some soil around the roots b4 u cover it in sphagnum.

[@SL-pr1lw]

The variegated Kentiana/wayetti loves humidity. In my experience it will throw a fit after being repotted but if you give it lots of high light and humidity it should give you some good new growth!

[@pamelasalatto9978]

Cebu blue do not like full sun...and it only needs water when dry...mine is nice and full and even looks healthy with low temperature 🌡️ at night.. and p.s hoya's love to be root bound just from what I've researched...I would definitely try it again.

[@junehiott4831]

Pamela Salvatore, Hi, you seem to know a lot about Cebu Blu... I got one and it did not do well! I tried to root it in water and nothing even worse. Now I have it in wet spaghnum moss trying to get it to root. One piece is growing a root, one piece has died , and one piece doesn’t look very good. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks💚

[@pamelasalatto9978]

@@junehiott4831 I'm not sure you can save it...but with what you have left just keep it in water, and hope it's roots for you, but I would say definitely try it again. But with a more mature one, again mine is so long and it's doesn't get full sun just filtered lighting...once you get the nack of it you will absolutely be glad you tried it again...I'm rooting for you.

[@babyhunty]

For the stag. Soak it in a large Rubbermaid container when you “water”... maybe add some Saran to the mount to keep moisture. Cut back any dead leaves and let her regrow.

[@lochlinbly6959]

My first plant I ever bought was a croton, i thought it was a ruby rubber tree (i was very uneducated lol) but i hate it so much!!!! i've left it outside to die but somehow its alive and it is so ugly and i just want it to die already!!!!! also your channel is growing so fast, its really cool to see

[@rhiannonshey2355]

I grow ferns - soak your Stag horn and change it from moss. Once that moss dries out, it repells water - really hard to rehydrate. Attach the Stag to a board of wood or even tree fern. It needs to be outside, let it be slightly moist, but not wet, and don't let it dry out. Good luck! That sucks so much :(

[@samanthawelch4044]

The Hoya wayetii could not have enough sun. My non variegated one wasn't growing literally at all so I decided to put it in direct sun in a south facing window and it took off

[@Deepfriedmummy]

I'm bad, I throw out plants I don't like 🙈 I'm pretty ruthless! No joy? No lifeeeeeee! That Cebu Blue 😳 They're over £100 for a single leaf cutting over here! I'm praying for the day that they become more common and cheap here 🤣

Thanks I enjoyed this! And I learned something new on the cebue with trying bottled or distilled water.

Sunlight! Mine prefers sunlight over grow light. Plus I give it a tiny bit of fertilizer every time I water (which is kinda often) and keep it in a terracotta pot. Mine is thriving!

[@karen12180]

I feel your pain I have same Hoya plant doing nothing 🤨 and it has the best window in my house . I feel you

[@mrparts]

If this is the elephant platycerium (from Africa ) then it’s likely dead, they should NEVER ever be allowed to dry. If it’s any of the Australian tropical platyceriums it may come back if you’re lucky. I have an African one and it’s planted in a very moist retaining potting mix because it’s so sensitive to dryness.

[@yunfanzhang7140]

wait dragon scale alocasia? those things are 15 euros here

[@featherweight6196]

Uhm mix orchid bark, soil and sphagnum equally and put the staghorn in a pot and put it in a plastic bag I had a few staghorn only with shields and that worked

[@JTDGA]

I feel you on that hoya imbricata, but, like, it's totally saveable and you have so many nodes that can root up in weeks. It'll be fine. Give it a moss pole once you're done and it'll root to that as well (just remember to water the pole when it's dry.)

[@PlantingAshley]

Yeah i repotted it and heres hoping it lasts :)

[@gmcris5014]

I still see green branches on your Cebu blue, try removing some of the nodes and propagating them. I've propagated the nodes without leaves and they grew.

[@mediacenterman8583]

I hate plants. When co-workers ask me to water their plants, I used round up. Plants inside any building are disgusting; would you have a plants tomatoes in your living room floor? Plants should always be external.

i left my heart leaf fern dry for way too long and all the leaves curled and dried up, i watered it and put it somewhere with high humidity and a few of the leaves /kind of/ came back, i kept the soil moist and kept it in high humidity and about 3-4 weeks later its pushing out new growth so maybe give that a try :-)

[@mathilda6763]

I'd take your plant out of the wood thingie. Had several plants die on me in those, because it's just so hard to get the watering right in normally non-tropical household conditions. You also can't check the roots, so if there's anything wrong or there root pests you only notice them after it is too late. now I repot the plants I get in this kind of growing medium right after I received them.
