In Jamaica, my mom just put some dirt from outside, and all her plants live beautiful lives. In America, I am killing myself to grow a pothos alive with all these fancy soils 😂😂😂...

I bought that same pot at Walmart. Boho. I don’t plant in my pots, I keep my plants in nursery pots, then in the decorative pots. It’s easier to water and repot when they out grow.

I like how you put it back in her pot at the end and then snickered. 😊

[lol__what]

Seriously thank you for explaining how to pick a right sized vessel for your plant. Always wondered what size i need and now i know its just a matter of measuring. Couldnt find that out for the longest time

Love this Chanel. It would be nice to see an update on the plants health.

I love calatheas (this one is a rattlesnake calathea) but they need very well draining soil and a lot of ambient humidity. Unless you live in a rainforest or have a humidifier, they do best in a terrarium!

I'm assuming Calathea soil is similar to an ABG mix. My calatheas do very well in ABG (meant to mimic a jungle floor), as well as tropical houseplants in general!

This is my easy abg mix that I use for my tropical houseplants (it's not real abg but it works really well for me):

3 parts potting soil
1 part spaghnum moss (I use unmilled)
1 part orchid bark or compressed coco chips (or perlite)

Basically you want soil that will be slightly acidic and chunky enough to drain well and aerate the roots, while also being able to hold on to some moisture.

I find most tropical plants do well if you water them thoroughly, then let the top 1-2 inches dry before watering them again. I use rainwater, but you can also leave tapwater out for a few hours to let the chlorine dissipate before you use it.

Do you water the plant after repotting? Even if it was over watered? Or do you wait? Thank you!

So glad I found this channel! I’m wanting to start learning more about orchids.

[bcgusph]

I enjoy your educational information for plants. Direct and clear. Thank you.

When you spanked that pot, I came back to life, I mean it came back to life 🤭🤣

[rebeccahenderson]

Calatheas are so easy! Just treat them exactly like a fern and you're golden.

Right when I saw that 1st pot, I was clutching my pearls & knew the issue. Good lord. Great save!

[sylviegaulin]

Hi,
I love your contains !!!! Your humour (french lady loll) !!! Your team ... Cannot wait a next clip each time ...
Black spots (around is yellow) on my pothos ... do we understand that it is also root rot ?
Thank You

Oh wow, my mom has that exact pot! Apparently she got it like 20 years ago (I know because I was adding new soil to her pot last week and she yelled at me about it).

[susanfaulkner]

I had that plant years ago.Very nice plant.

[HeadHoncho]

Ohhh. That's what it's called. My mom has one that died and she gave it to me to bring it back to life and it's doing great now. I literally just gave it back to her.

[lawfullucyless]

I have one that I diluted h202, rinsed off afterwards and water prop didn't save it so I'm gonna try this. Tysm

[youmaboi]

How long do you set the peroxide before planting it again?

[quki]

I have a problem with over watering my calathea too..😢
