Good mix of more accessible and wishlisty plants :). I'm glad too for the long form videos. Always nice to have a bit of company while I take care of "the kids" here too. Thanks again. Best of luck this fall!
I use the reptibark too, I just bought some big box orchid bark and its garbage, I will use it anyway for less fussy plants but you can get better stuff just stealing mulch from your neighbor's yard, its really that bad, looks like its just been weathering in the bag for a couple years.
I'll miss your videos once you pause posting videos here on CZcams 🥲 You def seem more comfortable now in your videos than the first one you posted. Excited about your new plants and I will be excited to see them grow on your stories 😂
Also random request, when you Timelapse would you consider not muting the background sounds?🥺 bc I still love being able to hear the repot noises with the music lol
I don't know why people spend on tree fern, tbh. With many plants you are going to be repotting at least once per year and that is a lot of money to throw out (assuming you will be changing all the media). For me, I use coconut husk chips mixed with perlite and charcoal. Cost wise, the chips are around $30 for 30 liters and at that price it doesn't matter if I change it annually (I usually don't do a full media change every time as the chips are still good up to two years). The only drawback is that they do require advanced preparation, rather than being ready to go, but it is an easy process, I think the trade off is worth it.
I’m not going to be changing the media out as tree fern doesn’t really decompose. Just adding more when I repot 😊 tree fern soil is actually comparable in price to pon if you amend it with regular soil. 🎉
I usually just purchase what's accessible in my area when it comes to substrates. When I had the chance to try tree fern, I did and I definitely see a difference in growth especially with the roots of my plants. I think it's just a matter of what are you prioritizing on your plant care. I also don't throw away substrates unless the plant in it has rotted. So it does get recycled quite a lot especially now that I experience less rotting on my plants.
I have been mixing Tree fern with Molly’s Aroid Mix now for awhile and my plants love it. The no drainage is not for me, and I do worry about you using tree fern with no drainage. Either way though good luck!
Essentially I water until I see the soil saturated about 50%. I then let the rest saturate through and the soil distributes the moisture pretty evenly for me. So no pooling at the bottom.

Aw thanks Earl! I’m still going to try my best to post as much as possible 😊 and yes definitely much more comfortable!
@@plantswithjoshua glad to hear it! But please focus on your studies! We'll be here and wait for any uploads 😄
I clearly did not finish the video before commenting 😅 I was doing plant chores lol anyway I loved this very casual video. Hope all the plants thrive!
Yayyy another video. Sending love🥰

Aww thanks! 💚 Yes i'll definitely try it and see how it sounds!
@@plantswithjoshua fern does it and it doesn’t seem odd, to me at least🙂🤍

Great video! Where did you buy those clear bins? 😅
Thanks! I got them from Ikea! I believe they’re called “Samla” on their website.
how does the no drainage pot work. would it not collect water like a nice tea cup?

Just wondering, why does a tyre company sell stuff not related to tyres 🤔
Which company? 😊
@@plantswithjoshua Canadian Tire
Ahh. It's just the name haha. They're more of a hardware store here!
