“Kim Kardashian is president and I haven’t aged a bit because I moisturize” 👌🏼👌🏼😂 your personality >> I don’t think Miracle Gro soil is bad in itself. I’ve heard several people say they had gnats in their fresh opened bags though. I just know that their fertilizers at least are bad for worms and microbial activity in the soil because of their synthetic sources for nitrates. I gardened organically for the noms before I started caring for houseplants and just ended up treating them the same as I do my edible plants and herbs. But if it works for you and you’re container growing, I don’t see what the harm in using that soil would be 🤷🏻‍♀️ Everyone has different mixes that suit their environment, humidity, watering tendencies, etc better and your plants look pretty happy to me!

I bought a M.adonsonii as a single leaf and it has 5 now - looking forward to creating a bushy basket when it grows up a bit more ❤ I was given a single M.standleyana leaf cutting and it's got a fourth leaf coming. A wish list plant would be Thai Constellation but I'd need a bigger house! We don't do a Christmas Tree as we don't have the floor space. (Instead, we have a Christmas Ladder ceiling mounted in the living room and Christmas Garden Bamboo Stake ceiling mounted above the kitchen bench 😁)

I do something similar with toilet paper tubes and an upside down clear tote. I just plant the tubes into the pot/basket and they break down over time.

I just stick cuttings in a suction cupped loop at the top water line of my fish aquarium. Works every time 👍. Plants love fish poop water.

Hey, thanks for videos like this, im an orchid grower. I have about 140 or so in the house, and I have many airoids, but have had an issue propagating them.

I got 3 Peru cuttings from a well known KZreadr. 1 was beautiful & healthy. 2 arrived looking pretty bad, very thin leaves, one nearly black & had scale. The other was bent at the petiole w/ a big tear in the leaf. It was not shipping damage/stress. He sent me unhealthy cuttings. The good leaf rooted out nicely in sphag and is in soil producing a new leaf. The other 2, I’ve watched slowly die over the past 2+ months. The leaves are now 90% black & crispy, no root development whatsoever. He’s been absolutely no help when I asked for guidance. The nodes haven’t rotted yet. So I guess I’ll give them more time. It was my first time buying cuttings & my first real wishlist plant, pretty disappointing
