Here’s how I take care of orchids, including the lighting and watering. I’ll make another video when I repot and manage the flower spike. #orchids #plantsoftiktok
It’s houseplant repot season here in the northern hemisphere, although it may not feel like it! Here’s a repot I don’t get to do often but is a great option that most people don’t consider! #plantsoftiktok #plants
Yellow buds on your orchid is called bud blasting, and can happen for several reasons- including some that I didn’t mention in this video. Over the years this is what I’ve noticed to be most common reasons for bud blasting. #orchids #plantsoftiktok
This is one way plants communicate what’s going on with them. Many are great communicators- you just need to know what to look for! #plantsoftiktok #plants
We went to @Vizcaya while visiting Miami and had a tour of their jaw dropping grounds! We were swept away with delight and cannot wait to go back to see how things are getting along. #plantsoftiktok #plants
When plants are kept in low light, their risk or root rot increases due to lack of oxygen in the soil. Light, air movement, soil composition, and potting material are all considered when increasing oxygen flow in the soil for the roots. Because we’re keeping this in low light I’m choosing to reduce the amount of moisture-retaining material (soil) as well as a pot material (terra-cotta) that is porous, further increasing oxygen flow to the roots and reducing risk of root rot. *you may end up needing to water more frequently utilizing this method #plantsoftiktok #plants
Here are the techniques I use to repot Peace Lily-soil recipe included! I've also included a way to reduce transplant shock which I find invaluable for plants like this! #plantsoftiktok #houseplants
I wouldn’t normally repot plants until Spring because light is scarce right now and light helps tremendously with shock. Fortunately these plants are under a grow light, so those guidelines don’t apply! If you’ve never used this fungus for your plant, they’re missing out- it’s what they use in nature! #plantsoftiktok #plants @Big Foot Microbes
Disturbing a plants environment causes them stress, often resulting in yellowing leaves shortly after. Throw in a stressful repot on top of location change and the plant may kick up a fuss. One thing we can do to help our plants recover from this stress is to remove parts of the plant that use energy from the plant to stay alive, but don’t produce their fair share of energy in return, or in the case of blooms, any at all! #plantsoftiktok #plants
This is my 5th terrarium from @biOrb Americas and every time they grow plants like weeds! I’m really hoping this one keeps going. Time will tell! #plants #plantsoftiktok
Using beneficial fungus when repotting houseplants has wonderful results! I’m looking forward to seeing the results on this maidenhair fern! #plants #plantsoftiktok @Big Foot Microbes
