Loved this video - its very relatable vs thinking that everything is perfect :) Don't get me wrong a clean neat video is nice to watch however also love seeing the work space and challenges. If the pop up animations are a drag to add then I could do without them but others may like...? Love you work and appreciate all of your content.

One other nice item I've been using as plant trays is the thick plastic boot trays, sold during the cold season to place winter boots on them to contain the snow that clinged to the boots. In season, those can be found in hardware stores or, even better, at the Dollar store. They sell for like 5$ each at the Dollar store, most models are rectangular shaped and often I can find some that are about 4ft long by 1.5 to 2ft wide. Basically, they're a good fit for regular 4ft x 2ft shelves, you just need to find the correct model. Been using these for all my plants for at least 8 years now, they're still perfectly fine with no sign of wear. I even used one for watering from below, aka the "tray method" for carnivorous plants like Drosera. But I think they're best used as regular plant trays since they're not that deep, hence don't contain that much water.

That's an awesome tip, thank you! I will look into that!

I _love_ those plastic boot trays when I can find them for cheap. They last forever and are great for corralling pots that don't have their own drip trays or saucers.

Yesss you're back! That Aeschynanthus is very adorable, I love gesneriads and green blossoms. 18:02 Maybe a Phyllanthus? Was a great time watching! Loved the little pop-up comments. the mini Saxifraga is almost certainly S. stolonifera.

@AnotherWorldTerraria 9 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Yeah, that Aeschy is amazing. I bought it as A. chiritoides but no blooms were shown in the listing. So now I am still after chiritoides. Thanks for the possible ID, I will look into Phyllanthus! The Saxifraga is crazy because it actually stays micro. A lot of people think it's just a baby or stunted propagation (when I first learned of them, I thought that too), but they are permanently tiny. Apparently these are within the dimensions of the original, published description of stolonifera. I have also seen one of these micro ones which actually put a stolon out and a baby was on the end. It was not only a nice piece of evidence toward the ID, but was about the most adorable thing ever.

@@AnotherWorldTerraria Aww that sounds lovely. I'm lookin' for the real mini as well, usually people just sell juveniles. Currently one of my fave mini plants is Houstonia caerulea. A cute spring bloomer.

That IS a turtle back labisia. I have one and adore it😌 This video has made me feel way better about my collection area lol. I always say it looks like a cross between a mad scientist’s lab and a witch’s….well…whatever a place a witch does spells and incantations in is called. I do all of my incantationing outside personally so…meh🤷🏻‍♀️ Ooh….i also have one of those Saxifra Stolonifera!! I’m ashamed to admit that this is the first I’ve heard that they are not a true begonia! Kinda makes sense now why the way I tried to propagate it did not really work out for me🤦🏻‍♀️ugh. Stoked to see a “new” video of yours mister! I remain envious of your filmy fern collection but emboldened by the hectic nature of your collection space. Thanks for the continued inspo always 🤗 PS-oh! Do you mean you feel that it’s been mislabeled by sellers in general and may not be a true labisia?

Thanks for the great comment. I love your sense of humor! Yes to your last question, I was insinuating that the ID which is associated to that plant in the hobby may not be correct. MANY of the plants in the hobby, especially the jungle plants from Asian countries, are just given random names and genus ID's. It's unclear whether the "turtle back" is really a Labisia or not. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, IDK. Thanks again for the fabulous comment :)

12:20 how is that a "boring fact of the day"? Maybe we wanna know what that substrate is! 🤔 🤣 I’m one of those gravel and substrate-obsessive people. I have all kinds of bags of stuff. I should try the calcined clay. Actually; I think it could work instead of LECA or Pon in a semi-hydro setup. The clay would act like the LECA, by wicking moisture and nutrients up, plus the smaller particles are good for finer-rooted plants, like ferns or Peperomia. Another similar product that you may wanna try is Oil-Dri, the floor spill absorber. They’re just gray slate-colored clay flakes, instead of clay balls. It has so many uses. It’s been a godsend for me for DIY Pon mixes and for general substrate aeration. And best of all, 50 lbs is easily purchased for under $50. Not sure how that compares to other substrates but I know it’s much more affordable.

Haha, yeah I'm a substrate fiend as well. I've got bags and containers of all kinds of stuff too. And I tend to use a lot of different things in my substrate mixes (I almost never use a substrate for a plant which doesn't have at least 4+ ingredients). There are lots of cool media to explore. Monto Clay (similar to Turface) is another good one.

What if you build like a super giant walk-in tent?

That would be sweet. They sell huge tents.

@katherinenoblet6567 6 ай бұрын

do you have a recommendation for a humidity/hydrometer to put in an enclosure that is waterproof? I have 2 vivosun gauges with a probe and if the probe gets misted, it quits working! Vivosun told me the probe isn't waterproof! seems silly to make a product to be in a grow tent that is not waterproof - just misting the probe a bit ruins it!!!

@AnotherWorldTerraria 6 ай бұрын

A hygrometer cannot be completely waterproof because it requires that air can reach the sensor. It would be best to avoid misting the sensor. Depending what you have the sensor in, you might try to put something over it to shield it from the spray, but that might affect the readings a bit.

Out of curiosity, do you wear gloves to protect you from the plants? Or them from you? Do you change them between contact from bin to bin, or species to species? OR…are they to prevent you from getting some nematode or helminth under your nails, then into your body? Lastly, do you ever worry about breathing in the spores of fungus’ or molds? Do you protect your lungs? Wear eye protection? These are 100% serious questions. Ha ha. I’m a super huge germ freak and I’m starting the terrarium/ isopod hobby and sometimes that little microscopic world gives me the heebee geebeez! P.S. I’m a nurse, so my brain ALWAYS takes me to worst case scenarios and I see the wicked illnesses caused by “things” we can’t see, everyday.

@CrookedSteph The main reasons I wear gloves are: - Protect myself from things which are in the plants and soil (pathogens, parasites, irritating chemicals, etc) - Allow me to work with pesticides, chemicals, fertilizers, etc without harming my skin - I have dry, sensitive skin so it's best to have that extra barrier anyway - Help prevent spreading pests and disease from one plant or area to another When going from one bin or tent to another, I often "wash my hands" with the gloves on, using soap and isopropyl alcohol. If I handle a plant or work in a bin which I feel has something really sketchy, I will sometimes throw the gloves away, or wash and sterilize them thoroughly and let them dry while I put on a new pair to continue working with other plants. Many of the molds found in plant bins and soil are relatively harmless to people unless they have an extreme sensitivity or are in constant contact with them. If there is adequate air movement and ventilation and the habitat within the container is "healthy" then there isn't a lot to worry about. That said, I try to avoid sticking my face right inside a bin or container which has been sealed for a long time, or if I see a significant amount of mold or anything else which looks sketchy. Yes, I do wear goggles when working with plants and soil. I just like that extra layer of protection from parasites, pathogens, and eye injuries due to dirt or chemicals.
