Question 13 talks about trying to find pumice in Melbourne, Australia. I had great difficulty finding it in Brisbane, Australia, until I eventually tracked some down at Ashi Home and Garden at Underwood. They sell it in 25L bags and you can get in two different grades - 1-7mm and 7-20mm. I got a bag of both and mixed them 50/50. The 1-7mm is too fine to use by itself because it will hold too much water and the roots won't get enough air. The 7-20mm is a bit too big to use by itself because it won't hold enough water. In one of their videos, the Swedish Guys say thier pumice is 1mm-12mm in size. Additionaly, I added vermiculite (also sold at Ashi Home and Garden). The Swedish Guys say to add 10-20% vermiculite to the pumice - closer to 20% for plants that like moist soil like peace lillies. . For people in Sydney, Australia, you can buy the pumice and vermiculate (and perlite) mentioned above direct from Ausperl. Ausperl are happy to transport their bags to other cities but the freight cost is very high because the bags are so heavy.

Thank you for the reply. I will follow your advice regarding root pruning - restricting pruning to max 1/3. I had definitely chopped more than that in my frustration 😑 Also want to add, a lot of the other questions regarding ZZ plant were ones I had too, and your answers were very helpful.

I’m adding a couple more things to my wish list :) Rubber tree plants Calatheas/Geoppertias/Marantas Aglaonemas Dieffenbachias (another plant that hates me) Thanks so much guys!

Great video! I've learned so much! Thank you!

[@lilichi50]

Love your videos. Very informative. Thanks

[@magspies]

This information - so useful! I'm binge watching :) Question - What ratio would you use for pumice mix, with vermiculite? Would the vermiculite just float to top when watered as so light? I also have excess to 'Pon' is better just to go with that as safer mix?

[@maryamb1793]

Thanks for all of your great videos and tips. I have a question: I have a money tree which has been few months her leaves turning yellow, I changed pot (roots are fine) did water less... still loosing leaves. What should I do? Thanks in advance.

[@ariesadanna9808]

[@Assassin-on9lt]

Very good advice 👍👋

[@markox.9665]

Hi, my Ficus elastica repeatedly has white spots looking like dried up drops of milk on the upper side of the leaves. Could it be a response to insect bites and which ones could be the culprit?

[@TheWowElement]

Is there a way for you to collate any past Q&A about using pumice as a substrate? I am a new subscriber and i only found 2 episodes about the subject. Thank you.

[@chanellegranlund7890]

Hi! Could you make a video on plants for the balcony, both glassed in and not. But mostly glassed in. Wants to make a plant haven on my balcony which is glassed in. It is facing south but gets a lot of partial shade from the slanted roof

[@audreylundmisner8888]

I LOVE MY ZAMIOCULCAS ZAMIIFOLIA PLANTS! I also have the ZZ RAVEN, and I have 2 Variegated ZZ plants. Is there any difference in the care of the different types?

[@smievil]

10:31 some flowers seem to go to bed at night, or may look similar to being under watered.

[@CatarinaSalite]

Hi Swedish guy; Thank you so much for your videos; I am learning so much; So, I have a ficus lyrata; I have moved her to a south west placement and the top leaves started drooping. do I move her back to the old location where she was doing well or do I just keep her in her new location until she adjusts? thank you so much for all your help

[@beatazielinska276]

Hello, I need information on senecio rowleyanus. I've already killed three young plants and I don't know why. I don't know if they have too much water or not enough. I always water it abundantly so that the water flows out the bottom of the pot and then watering only when the soil has completely dried. I use cactus soil and grow in a terracotta pot. Unfortunately, the pearls shrink all the time, they are not firm. Please help. Thank you

[@dontevenask4113]

Regarding question #8. Could it be a yucca? They can look pretty similar to some dracaenas except for that thick trunk.

[@juanitagordon5064]

Please give some information on indoor bamboo plants thank you

[@sansevieriamd6221]

My zz plant is loosing its shine, and the area near the veins are lightening. Its been like this for months. Im worried it would decline soon. I was thinking its some sort of nutrient deficiency since the roots are fine and i see no infestation on leaves.

[@musicalmarion]

I have a 20 feet wide balcony facing North and it has 3feet opening on both sides that is east and west from where I get about 1 hour of sunlight in the morning and in the evening. North facing side also has sufficient bright indirect sunlight. Please suggest if I can grow plants like fiddle leaf fig, monstera deliciosa, staghorn fern, philodendron congo and brasil, Boston fern, pachira aquatica which I have already bought a few months ago

[@dianetsang643]

If I add vermiculite to my pumice to put my newly rooted dracaena stem into (roots already 3 inches long), what percentage should I use in proportion to the pumice?

[@carmenrios4616]

I have two plants that I am confused with. The “blushing philodendron” (I got the name from plant app) and the “Haemanthus sanguineus” (also got name from plant app) they are different plants but when I see videos on them they have the same flower but different leaves. Please describe the differences
