Is Expired Medium Killing Your Plants?
I picked up some new plants thanks to my local Buy Nothing group that are in need of some TLC. The first thing I noticed was they were in need of repotting and I thought this would be a great time to talk about how medium can expire and if you're not careful could actually kill your houseplants! Thanks for watching.

    Don't use fork on the roots.. Just water, divide the plant, trim root to 1-1/2inch. No need so much hydroton. Once a week change water; continue to add water as it get little until the top of roots.

    the peat, or really any substrate by the testing ive done over about 6 years so far, comes off the roots and they get squeaky clean white using a very quick supervised soak in peroxide and then meticulously scrubbing every single individual root with a soft bristled toothbrush that has the rubber side pieces that are supposed to help scrub your gums as you brush

  • @camelCased

    It might also depend on the thickness of the wick. The default wicks that come with the cheapest pots are definitely too thick for many plants. I've seen people successfully using very thin synthetic wicks (which can be DIY-made from old thin nylon socks) with begonias. To prevent roots from coming out, people put some synthetic fluffy or spongy stuff at the bottom of the pot.

    Nice video explaining it all! I only have one Hoya at this point (want to get more) and I have had it a couple of years. It seems like even though many tout the joys of Leca, is that really easier than soil? It just seems like a lot of work. My Hoya has been repotted one time and loves the soil and the key for me has been simply not overwatering it. Matter of fact out of all my houseplants overwatering would be the biggest killer besides if you miss an insect or say a spider mite attack as once they get going you may easily lose that plant if you don't catch it to treat it early.

    That was a great video. I'm new to this video but so glad I found it (3 years later). My Monstera Adansonii isn't too happy with me right now. I got thrips (thanks to another plant) and although it doesn't appear to have anything right now, it's definitely mad at me. Some leaves are turning pale/yellow like yours and I have 1 stem that is growing but no leaves are sprouting. I've been waiting to spring to re-pot it but I may have to intervene before then. Anyone with any suggestions on how I can keep thrips away and care for this Monstera Adansonii please let me know. This new plant parent welcomes the help!
