[@pamelabuck5547]

Fascinating information ✨ I lived in the Caribbean for a few years, and Dominica 🇩🇲 where most of the island composed of rainforest; the soil was dark as charcoal & rich. Miss that place 🌞 You’re right as seeing the variety of tropical plants in their habitat was stunning everyday! Thank you for sharing your expertise with us 🤗

[@tania4726]

I’m loving this plant series🌟. ❤️Plants really makes me smile and happy😃🌱🌿🌴🎋 . I have a few snake plants, air purifier plants, succulents and cactus in my home. Looking for some cute hanging plants, wall containers and ideas for containers. Interested in making glass terrariums with geometric designs, plants and stones. I thought of idea. Some type of waterfall feature would look great in your plant room and I do recommend TaoTronics Cool Mist Humidifier for it’s value😉.

[@lisareese454]

I love what you are doing. I have been watching you for years, and I love where you are heading. I also enjoy your outings with Micheal. Thanks so much for all you guys do 😁

[@nolviagaspar8634]

Thank you Christine for sharing your knowledge! I got a Monstera Adansonii at the end of 2019. I placed it in my garden tub which has a window with filtered light. It’s crawling around the tub like crazy🤗😊

[@jacqdanieles]

To maintain humidity, make a large cone or tent from a clear plastic sheet & pop it over the plant at night.

[@awildandsimplelife]

Cool!

[@pt8421]

[@bileigh8675]

Christine - Monsteras are so gorgeous and interesting. Have been reading about them; their fruit and the seeds which apparently have to be fresh when planting.(?), so tricky to find and buy. Would be interesting to hear you talk more about them. Is it possible to list your watering can and sprayer?

[@cactusandfriends_by_vane]

Oh, wow! I'm very surprised, because you uploaded this video just hours after I bought a little Monstera adansonii🌱 at my local supermarket 😃. Just woke up this morning and found your notification while having breakfast with my plant. Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💖✨And this happens just a week after I found again your channel🥰. We were meant to be friends again!😘

One tip, when deep watering try putting a tray under planter. That way you can catch the excess rain water and reuse it for other plants 👩🏾‍🌾

Very informative, thank you!

what a gorgeous plant 😍😍

[@sandra666]

Wonderful video. I was wished my house looked so bright. I’m slightly remodeling now.

[@evacpena]

It’s my favorite plant! Thank you for doing this video. I recently purchased one and repotted it but I have a cutting in water and I’ll consider your soil mixture wen it’s time to plant. I also have one in LECA. Have you tried growing plants in semi hydroponics? I’m learning and enjoying it. Again, thank you for the video. Much love

Hi Christine, what ratio soil mix do you use to combine coco peat, coco chips and pumice? Thanks!!

[@WsFood]

I thought a bug ate it because of a big hole in the leaf, but it looks like that. It's a unique and wonderful plant.👍

[@kazzyburton196]

This was really helpful as I have recently bought a calathea orbifolia, which has similar requirements. On a side note would love you to do an updated hair care vlog, as your hair always looks stunning 💚

[@christinekobzeff]

Thanks so much Kazzy! Sure can do 👌💖

[@labellafamiglia11]

It would be helpful to include a list of soil “ingredients” in the description.

[@cheekyllamacreations]

A “please” and “thank you” would be helpful too 👍🏻

[@cecillegravelle2590]

actually she spoke quite a bit about each ingredient she used for her soil and where she bought it. just rewind.

[@eleseretlestrange6345]

Could you please tell me where do you find your gritty mix? Love your videos btw!

[@heikejanka302]

Hi Christine. First of all: I love your videos. I think your "transformation" from "so foxy" to what and who you are now is astonishing. Yor style and the way you transmit it s absolutely mine and so inspiring. Go on like this. I'd love to see much more of it. My Monstera is quite big, approx. 1.6 m in height and 1m+ in diameter. It was gifted to me and since t is growing like crazy I assume it feels good the way I treat it. However, it came with a metal pole for support and in a way twisted around itself. Is there still a chance to get a more suitable pole in there, resp. the plant getting used to it? Will it still use it for climbing, even if it is already so twisted? Thanks for your help. I tagged you in a photo of my monstera.

[@oneimaginarygirl5]

I love these plants so much! I had one that unfortunately got the mosaic virus so I had to get rid of it 😢

[@felixgillett3118]

That is a huge cup of coffee lol

[@95152003]

I love your video. I have a question. I know you put 1 part gritty mix to one part potting mix. What is the ratio in ingredients for the gritty mix?

[@lindacruikshank2656]

What a beautiful plant. Thank you for sharing. In Florida we have tinted windows so it wouldn't get any light. Is there plants that don't need much light? I want plants for inside.

[@melissawilson3729]

My mom got me a new Monstera Andsonii bcuz i accidently over watered mine and it died. Ive only had it for a week and i tried to google why my leaves are turning black on the edges. It says it was overwatered or its a disease. Im sure i didnt over water it. As soon as water dripped from the bottom i stopped and let ot drain.its being quarantined in my washroom bcuz it had gnats and I have to use a grow light bcuz there is no light or window in my bathroom. Even my moms plamt is doing the same thing.....i dunno what to do. I just got this plant, and i love it. Google said to cut the black parts out to prevent it from spreading, but that didn't do much. Im stressed that i might lose my new plant.

[@YaddiStar]

Can you do a video on soil brands that you enjoy using ?

[@samanthaavelar5863]

Just picked up my first Adansonii today! Poor thing is way to big for her pot and she’s not even in soil :( she’s in these weird hard balls of wood?? I don’t even know lol! But thank you so much for this video, I know how to get her all nice and comfy!

[@joeytrtl]

I’d love to know if you ever have plant pest problems and if so, how you manage that.

[@joanaowens598]

Could you post a list of materials and potting mix?

[@shelbys2015]

I tend to overwater my plants by accident 😅 I have two babies 15 months apart so I forget about my plants and like double water them lol Would I be just be ok with the happy tree frog soil? And also I want to repot my snake plant, can I use it for that as well?

[@mommyfindingfit]

Christine, A couple weeks ago I had a succulent that appeared to be perfectly healthy. Then I noticed that the leaves toward the bottom of the stem were drooping. I felt the soil and it was dry, so I watered it. For the rest of the day, every time I walked by, more leaves were drooping. They were literally turning to watery mush from the stem out. It was one of the succulents that have one stem going up like a tree with thin longer leaves coming off from that. Finally after a few hours, it lost all of the leaves, and when I touched the stem it was watery and mushy. This wasn't a case of over watering. I let my succulents dry out between waterings. Over the last two weeks, I've had three more succulents lose some leaves the same way. Have you ever heard of this before? I'm at a loss. I even threw one away out of fear it could be a disease. One other thing, the day the first succulent died, I noticed a piece of fruit in my fruit basket had started to mold. It was near the succulent. Could mold spores have infected the plant? What should I do? Oh, also, I use cactus soil for all my succulents.

[@cactusandfriends_by_vane]

Hello,🤗, just trying to help you... If the leaves of your succulents are kind of translucent and soft or gummy and they fall off and the plant dies, that's to much water almost all the times, believe me I've experienced that 😣. Mold in fruit is different from the fungus of the leaves, wich would have caused black spots in the succulent leaves. The amount of water they need is different depending on temperature, (almost no water in winter) and they need to have dry soil between waterings, this is very important. Embed a stick of wood deep in the pot and extract it and see, that way you know if there's humidity in the low part of it yet. Less is more in terms of water with succulents, especially with chunky leaves ones. Have a nice day. Love from Spain🤗.

[@mommyfindingfit]

@@cactusandfriends_by_vane Thank you for the tips. I will definitely try that. I've never even thought of putting a stick in it. In this case, I'm sure it wasn't over watering. At the time the leaves started to fall, it had been about a week since the plant was watered, and the soil was dry. We live in the south, so it gets pretty hot here. I've never seen anything like this before. It was literally green and perky one minute, and the next time I walked past it, the leaves were starting to turn dark, droop, and turn to mush. It only took a matter of hours for the entire plant from the soil up to turn completely to watery mush. I'm just baffled. I've never seen a plant go from looking perfectly healthy to dead in the span of a few hours.

[@mommyfindingfit]

@@cactusandfriends_by_vane What kind of stick do you use? I really like this idea, because I do always second guess myself as to whether my plants are ready for water. This will save me so much stress.

[@cactusandfriends_by_vane]

@@mommyfindingfit Oh, wow, that's a fast decay for a plant! Perhaps it received too much sun and got "cooked", that's very fast when it happens and there's no way to fix it... I use bamboo barbecue sticks because they dry quickly and I can wash reuse them. And they are very cheap!☺️

[@mommyfindingfit]

@@cactusandfriends_by_vane It was sitting on my kitchen counter away from any windows. Could it be lack of sunlight? Would that take weeks to effect the plant, but then have it decay so rapidly and all of a sudden? I'm sorry for so many questions. I'm so nervous I'm going to lose some of my other plants.

[@labarbi5]

Were did you buy the greedy mix in the white sack?

[@Hyasbountifulgarden]

Hi Christine just want to ask where did you buy the round white shelf thing? Its beautiful!

[@lindaasselin5136]

I have been following you for years and always look forward to your videos. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and have had a small flowering cacti as a gift from a friend and is about 14 inches around. The pot it's in was getting too so snug so I thought I would re-pot it with the soil suggestions you gave in your video's. I haven't gotten around to doing that yet. At the beginning of summer here I put it outside on my south facing porch and it has flowered two times already. What a surprise to see the beautiful flowers it produces. Should I re-pot it or just leave it in the pot it's in. It has a lot of babies all around the outside edge of the plant. Suggestions? Thanks

[@christinekobzeff]

Thanks Linda! It sounds like you're doing a great job with your cactus. The sunlight and warmth lets them know it's time to flower and a south facing porch is perfect. Cactus enjoy being a little bit root-bound in small pots but if it's getting too tight or if your cactus has filled out the top part of the pot, it's ready to be re-potted into the next size up. Be on the lookout for upcoming cactus videos on repotting, cactus soil recipes and care. I'll have those coming out really soon. 🌵

[@Learehart]

How often do you have to repot? I just got one this week and I’m so excited!

[@christinekobzeff]

Fantastic Lisa! For repotting, about every 2 years or so to refresh the soil, or if it outgrows the pot before then and you can repot anytime during its active growing season.

Hi April! Be on the lookout for the propagation video, I'm working on that video as we speak. When you've tried the water method, what are you experiencing?

[@april561]

@@christinekobzeff 💞 Thanks! The leaves sit in water for weeks and then turn yellow and die. I've tried with water in a clear glass and water in an opaque glass. I have had a few leaves root, but it takes a very long time with lots of leaves that don't make it. Looking forward to your video. :)

Do you know what type of insects, are they crawling or flying? Some common house plant pests are fungus gnats, spider mites, scale (you can treat with a neem oil spray or if it's a really bad infestation you could use systemic granules), mealy bugs (I use alcohol and clean them off the plant with a q-tip). I can do a more in depth video on pests if that would help. 🌱
