    I enjoyed this lovely video! It inspired me to take a closer look at my own Billietiae and appreciate it more. Your voice is so soothing as well!

    It's hard to find good local grow lights, I got mine off Amazon UK, it cost a bit more to get them here but they really make a difference 😊

    I'm planning a quick video on this to be honest, I almost burnt down my house 😂 the lights from the US don't work with our voltage. We'll they do but the get really hot, and eventually burn out

    This video really coincided with the things I love about plants. I love plants for their unique morphologies as well as the structure they take depending on how you grow it. My interests are in aroids but I approach caring for them similarly to how others care and maintain for bonsais. I make deliberate decisions depending on how I want them to grow, like influencing their internodal spacing or the way their leaves face so that they grow in a way that appeals to me. They really are living sculptures, and I appreciate this specific breakdown of the billietiae, one of my favorite philodendrons. I also appreciate the correct usage and definition of the different parts of the plant.

    My Alocasia mix is grade 3-4 perlite, grade 1 perlite, coco chips, and a very small amount of coco coir. What my mentor taught me was to never pot your Alocasia in dry medium. Put it in a bowl and get it wet so the coir doesn’t run out of the pot on first watering. He also taught me to spread the roots evenly in the pot so they’re not touching each other then to backfill with medium (keep the plant suspended above the pot so you’re getting medium through the roots) and the base of the plant is only 1/2” from the top of the pot.

    I would go for a pothos! Bonus, you can immediately experiment with propagating them and replanting them to get a full and luscious bush! Pothos was my gateway plant.

    I have a restrepia I got at an expo. It thrived greatly for nearly 8 months, giving many blooms. But now it has stopped thriving and I think it is dying. It is mounted on a cedar plank with what I think is sphagnum moss as the substrate. Could you help me?

  • @poeticplants
    @poeticplants2 ай бұрын

    Hmmm, how's the humidity and moisture of the moss usually? I guess the only time I see them suffer is in winter, because almost no new leaves grow during that time. I would keep an eye on the conditions. What makes you think they are dying?

    Honestly with pink princess, price does matter as the ones with better ratio of variegation to green will command higher prices. It's genetics really, so it's tough to have those aesthetically pleasing ratio if the plant itself doesn't have that

    Cant believe how invested I was in this after watching your first video on the Pink Princess. I have exactly the same issue with a very similar looking plant, and I actually did a fist pump at your triumph when I saw pink on the leaf. Im a newbie in the plant world and will follow the steps from video 1-3 and see what happens.
