When I boil my perlite, I fill the sieve up with it and then put it in the pot that way and pour the water over it and boil it (rather than filling the pot and then straining it). It's a lot less messy. Perlite is such a pain in the butt when it's all wet and sticks to everything.

This is a plant chore I have been procrastinating on. Thanks for the motivation!

Thanks for bringing refreshing my perlite boxes to the front of my mind lol. I'd been putting it off but I guess I'll get to it 🙄 🤣

so many plant youtubers i follow don't like perlite, so it's nice to see someone else who does! i personally think perlite is perfection for avoiding rot!

I have been using hydrogen peroxide to clean my perlite. I dilute it to about 30% HP to 70% water. It seems to help

Fern!!
I actually need to do this myself, can't wait to watch it later!

[rhimoon]

I had to pause the video in the first 11 seconds to say how gorgeous you look! Loving the hair 💁🏼‍♀️🌿

Wow your makeup is on point girl💛! Also I’d suggest potting that Hoya soon so it’s roots don’t get to shocked from the medium change.

I’ve had mold on individual pieces that rotted but it’s never spread and when I removed the squishy little bits, that was the end of that. I agree that likely people are seeing algae.

This look here, Fern? Ok! Be as fly as you want, I’m not even mad 🥵❤️ It’s the inner eyeliner for me

Okay, I'm here with my coffee, let's watch! 💖🌱

Prop boxes are magic to me. I have never had one work. Spag or pearlite.

[kimberlyskinner]

All clean and ready to go, now to do mine!💗. Thank you 🤩

[Monsterodendron]

Answered some of my questions that I had! Thank you 🤩

[Adri]

You're a beauty, Fern! Love your hair omg!😍🧡🔥💛

[Ali-enAdventures]

Your hair 😍 idk why but I can’t figure out perlite prop boxes. It looks so much easier to deal with than moss

Great video. I have a lot of old potting mix that I want to separate out from the perlite. I love that you boiled the perlite. Do you think putting it in an oven say at 350 would work also? Love your captivating eyes. Wow! :)

I am new to propagation boxes. I have a lot pothos cuttings this one in particular I think is N'Joy in my perlite propagation box but some leaves have been yellowing in the centre of the leaf any one with ideas?

Hey girl, I watch you for your plant videos but I would love to know your skin routine. Your skin is gorgeous!

[marivasquez]

Did you make a holes under the countainer to drain the water?
