"3 things you NEED to know when growing cactus When to water: When that soil is bone dry You may even notice the cactus will start to shrink a bit along with the dry soil at that time I know to water. YOUR CACTUS WANTS ALOT OF WATER but it doesnt need it as often LIGHT: I cant say this enough your cactus NEEDS light The brightest window indoors or right under a grow light. During the spring and summer here in Indiana my cactus live outdoors (gets over 1000 FC or more in an east facing side of my home) but during the fall and winter I bring them indoors and they stay underneath two grow lights."

"Fluval Stratum made out of volocanic soil is a substrate most commonly used for growth of aquatic plants in aquariums but in the plant community it has grown popularity in growing plant propagations. Its mineral rich which is great if youre wanting to grow those propagations roots quickly I was at my wits end with this monstera thai constellation. What started off with X leaves got thrips and continued to dwindle to nothing. I tried regrowing every way that I knew how and finally got results from fluval Cons: it is pricier than the other propagation methods but it does go a long way. It is"

"A fun way to grow orchids and an UPDATE I mightve forgotten to water as often as I shouldve but I have hope for a comeback. Orchid are epiphytes. They grow on top of other plants and are not anchored in the soil. Epiphytes take up their nutrients from water air and debris around them. Living in Indiana fall and winter temperatures get less than XX degrees consistently which would prevent us from being able to anchor orchids or other plants to trees so this will just have to do. When choosing a board choose one that is rot resistant. I used cork bark since it doesnt rot but its also very easy"

"When I bought this massive monstera in May the family that grew her needed help with supporting. When I took over ownership the first thing I did was got her on a plank. Shes given me X huge leaves since then. Remember monsteras are natural climbers and in nature they climb up anything they can get themselves to. If your goal is to get it large find the support that will work best for you (I personally prefer wood stakes or a trellis) and along with continued care and light you can have a large monstera too #monsteradeliciosaplant #bigplantsoftiktok #monsteraplantmom"

"Hoya Krohniana silver youre a real gem Some care tips 👇🏽: I dont have a magic trick to get them to bloom but what Ive learned from other blooming plants is that consistent care and PATIENCE are required for blooms to form.

Water throughly and let excess water drain. I use a substrate with coco chips perlite and orchid bark. I use dynagrow foliage pro fertilizer when watering. Majority of mine grow under grow"

"Replying to @katt g And REMEMBER your orchid is not dead just because it has no blooms MORE INFO HERE: Other common substrates used for orchids: coco chips coco coir Leca water or sphagnum moss. You can create mixes from these substrates as well. The possibilities are endless just NO SOIL for these babies.

"My PPP has struggled through it all so trimming and regrowing was a better option for me. I could also regrow a fuller plant that way. More info: You can also cover the top with plastic wrap and poke a few holes to increase humidity but its not completely necessary. How long until I transfer it over to a new potting medium When I get more well established roots. At least 2-3 inches of roots BUT I will typically wait longer to have higher chances of success.

"Replying to @Jocelyn If youre looking to grow a large monstera youre in for quite the adventure. Ive been in X and a half year semi toxic relationship with a Monstera Deliciosa. I saw it posted on fb marketplace in 2023. It was huge and needed support. Because of her size and how it had grown previously a wood plank was the only thing sturdy enough to help her. Once she was trained upright I propped and switched the plank to a large trellis. She has outgrown my ceilings twice since Ive had her and shows no signs of slowing down now.
