  • Misting might not help a lot, but it won't hurt! It does NOT replace watering, or a humidifier!

      Anything related to beginners. Problems with pests, watering methods, substrate for different species, low light plants, ect.

    Very informative video. I’m suffering with brown edges right now. Humidifying is helping a bit. I have four plants rn and they all require a slightly different watering schedules.

    • @prettyingreen

      Yes humidity differences can be tough! Especially if you’re doing Calathea / Anthurium/ something finicky! Try and pin down the watering schedule too for those sensitive ones too

    If your most your calathea inside the house and there is no air flowing like in the nature, won’t that let the droplets just sit in the leaves which can create fungus ?

    • @prettyingreen
      @prettyingreen  Před 2 lety

      The water droplets will just evaporate into the air and increase the relative humidity in that room (marginally) 😄

    When using a humidifier do you just leave it on or do you turn it off at a certain time of day or night ? I have a Calathea I’m trying to save ?????

      I have one that goes on and off using a set point. Calatheas are so hard. It’s VERY likely you have spider mites. Calatheas get mites super easy. Treat with neem as prevention, and give it humidity above 65%. They’re such hard plants to keep alive!

  • @mayac2266
    @mayac2266 Před 2 lety

    I put all my Calatheas 1 foot away from the humidifier getting a steam directly on the leaves and they are still brown. I also keep the soil moist I just can’t understand it most of the time 😓

    • @prettyingreen
      @prettyingreen  Před 2 lety

      I feel your pain. As long as it's happening to the older leaves, and not the newest leaves, it's kinda how calatheas are :/ Make sure the plant is getting lots of light and has good fertilizer in the soil too!

    So tired of the misting arguments. If you live in the SOUTHERN US, probably don't need to mist...in AZ, I HAVE to mist
