This was the most extra repot I’ve ever done, but I’m just SO paranoid after rotting many a Thai Con.
I really do credit the mycorrhizae though. I’ve never seen such fast new root development before.

I absolutely love variegated plants but a thai constellation is one that i will probably never get lol.
I saw a video and apparently they all have some kind of rot disease, which would explain why they just randomly decide to die.
If I were in USA, I'd use your shop codes!!!
Okay, IF this fails... please stop being so fussy. Try ignoring "the experts". Look at how how well it does in straight moss. So, why not try leaving the original moss alone? Instead, simply getting a larger pot with more moss until it is way bigger & _much more_ established?
Remember, all the experts in the world do NOT have your exact location, humidity, lighting, caring time etc..
Your plants are beautiful. You see for yourself the results with straight moss, right? Why are you "fixing" what ain't broken?
Okay, okay, if you just can't grow it in moss alone & just add your other media in on top of it. The moss helps protect the roots from drying out too. I'm preaching to the choir saying this to you. You know this already, LOL. Just stop listening to the others, follow your heart & your head full of decades of growing. Woman, YOU DO YOU. And, I _betcha_ it'll work far better than all of theirs! 🤗💕💕
@@DanteTimberwolf don't think this is true . You might want to look into it a little further
hi! i was wondering where you got the iridescent mat from?
My dad has like seven of them that love him for some reason and he uses the soil from Lowe’s and the Pete Moss from Lowe’s. I don’t know if that would help or not.
Your dad has a Thai con thumb!
SEVEN? What are his secrets??
OMG peat moss 😮😮😮
My 1 year old grew up and went to college 😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Seriously!! In the beginning it's just a tiny work and boom 5 hours later!!!
Yup, i have a couple plants i need to repot and i gotta clean all their leaves. Im dreading all the work but it must be done😣 its exhausting having a ton of plants lol but theyre cute🥺
@@Ah-mi1mp true 😂😂 in the end it's all worth it unless they die.. 🙈🙈
5 hours EASY
That was hilarious 🤣
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who feels this way! I’m like I’m gonna just do this quick thing that should take 15 min tops… & then it’s 3 hours later 😂
At this point, we just pray to it and make an offering lol 😆
LOL right
Just not water 😂 I'm here because 😮 I have one and it's ugh atm but I believe I've over waterd mine too 😂
I've found that monstera really don't like to be wet when they're not thirsty and they're never fckn thirsty. I hardly ever lose plants (and now have about 4 monstera) but my first one also died after a single watering that it never drank.
I pretty much use orchid mix for monstera and begonias now, mostly Lyca, perlite and mulch and I just liquid fertilize to compensate. I think they're used to heavily mulched jungle soil that never completely dries but doesn't really hold any water either.
PS. Root rot can be contagious, just a PSA.
👍all facts!
I use a similar mix to that in which I grow my orchids too. Seems to be working, and I also made an infinitely extendable moss pole after watching a guy on CZcams make them, and two weeks later my monstera is showing its appreciation.
Wow! Good luck this time. Anything alocasia hates me😂😂😂. My Anthiriums barely like me, I have 2 left, hanging on for dear life. 😅 I live in a fairly dry and hot climate so the lack of humidity is an issue in my windy apartment. But my monstera albo and deliciosa love life as long as I keep up with the watering. Still waiting for Thais to come here. 🤞🏼
Hopefully you can get one your way that thrives in your environment!
Alocasias hate me too 🤣 i have no idea why LOL! i gave up on them lol.
My crystallinum loves it on the shelf so that's cool ❤ my collection is mostly Philodendron and Syngonium. But i do have a massive Thai that's tripled in size since beginning of February 😱
I have a cat so 90% of plants are out because he'll eat anything! I'm pretty much stuck with Calatheas and they hate me 😭
@@Liam-ck8uc I'm very lucky in that my cats don't bother with my plants. When they were kittens they chewed on my cymbidium orchid leaves but I grew them some cat-grass and they haven't touched any of my orchids since. Now I know they won't chew on the plants I can grow monsteras and other things. If only I had big windows and more light so I didn't have to supplement...
Alocasia hates me too everything else from all monstera to pathos and everyrhing is between i grow... but those alocasia... nope every leaf that grows, one dies... i think it needs fertilizer regularly hut im.not buying another to find out love the look for the sting ray alocasia tho
Root rot is most commonly caused by fungi, so as a preventative measure I occasionally water with a 1:1 ratio of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide to Water, which is anti-fungal and not harmful to the root system. 🌱👍🏼
I love the sizzle of hydro peroxide too
That's not too strong? I treat root rot with 1/3 3% to 2/3 water so 1:1 seems strong as a preventive 😮
@@JessicaSugarTankLarson I do not see a downside to being more conservative, though, I’ve never experienced any negative effects using this ratio. Personally, it is often a one time application after root-pruning and replacing substrate. It’s worth noting that it would very likely cause damage if sprayed on foliage.
Girl. I broke down and finally ordered foliage focus by Growth Technology (because Sydney Plant Guy, obviously) and oh my. It really IS magical!!!
It is!
Hmm maybe I will go ahead and pick some up 🤔
I love your busy life! You're so humorous! 😂❤💚
😂🥰
We r empty nester s too and plants have become my new children it’s amazing
It’s fun hobby 💚
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrowit certainly is all my children are now grown up . I took to plants only this year now I have loads in every room indoors an my garden is full !
I have rotted 6 of those stupid Thais. I finally just put my last 3 in Pon and the roots have exploded. It’s absolutely insane. They LOVE LOVE LOVE Pon and thrive!!!!! They are even in self watering pots where I keep them full of water. Crazy things.
Oh you’re winning! It’s self sustaining
WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR CLEAR NURSERY PITS IN ALL THOSE SIZES!!??!?!?!!??
Hi! I order my pots from here because there’s options for size, width, height, and shape: themosspole.com/collections/pots (MICHELLE15 will get you a discount)
I also use these from Amazon that come in a few select sizes: amzn.to/3Blv4Th (but obviously not customizable haha)
Gosh dang. I have one the same size-ish which ive had for 3 months, it thrives in my bedroom, in soil (doesnt provide much drainage), and I treat it just like any other plant.
That’s amazing!
I have just start repotting everything into LECA. I am absolutely in LOVE WITH IT!! 😍😍
The roots on my Burle Marx have literally grown a centimeter in 24 hours guys 😭❤️ I'm so proud of her!
My Jessenia is also in water and LECA, she has grown THREE new growth points in a week! 😱
I must say, im very very impressed!!
I also use foliage focus (had previously used groconut and plant runner).
Is anyone else as in love with LECA as i now am lol 😂
Did you hear about the mother plant for tai cons that had root rot?
Yes!
If it hates water, just grow it in water. It will solve the problem I promise
Lol I do love hydroponics
I have faith in u. If my Thai constellation babies can be doing awesome, I KNOW urs will.
Yep. As a result this is why they have issues. They're all descendants from the same tissue of that plant, resulting in all of them being prone to rot. They basically already are infected. The process to restart and recreate Thai cons with a healthy plant would be extremely tedious and costly though, and if that successfully happened the subsequent plants sold would be priced way higher because of their health compared to this version. I want one so bad but am not willing to eat the loss if it rots on me
Thank you!
Omg, I have been putting LECA IN MY SOIL. I did it with my Thai con and it hasnt given me any issues... Yet 😅
I thought it was to replace soil??
@@naomirachel96 I have some just in lecca as well but it is a great amendment to add to soil to help it drain just like perlite or pumice would do. I used fox farms soil, chunky charcoal (antibacterial!), pine bark, pumice perlite and lecca LOL!! Might be extra af, but this guy will not be dying on my watch 😂
I do too!! It’s a great amendment
Please note that this issue is American centric. In Australia people are now selling off so much cuttings on FB marketplace cos they are so easy to propagate and keep.
Time to move to Australia
I also love to use clear pots to watch the roots grow 😅
The best!
Yay ! Mine loved my east facing window, producing larger leaves each time (2 times, only had it a couple of months) and now it seems fine in my west facing window, new leaf incoming!!
💪💪💪
I got three that I slightly regret getting in my garden… one is doing great that I can tell but the other two… I didn’t get a chance to plant them before we got a bunch of rain and they were super mad about all that water! Like in two days they were turning brown and I wonder if they’ll survive 🤦🏻♀️
I got them planted so maybe they’ll be ok but goodness they seem fussy, they’re a ground cover sedum that bloom gorgeous pink blooms in the spring, I really hope they survive! The leaves are like little rosets they’re so cute.
Guess I’ll have to be careful not to water them much since they seem to hate water 😂
Haha I hope yours will make it!!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow thanks :)
One looks good still! The other two… I think they’re goners 😭
Mine was a calthea. I finally figured her out after 3 years and then i went on vacation and she died.
OH NOOOOOOOOOO. It’s the Calathea’s fault.
I don't know why people get so crazy about freeing and cleaning every root. Does it actually work?
Im terrified of monstera, have like a 30% success rate 😅 the only plant ive really struggled with
At the time, this was my third and only Thai con haha
Me too! I have loads of plants absoltely thriving. Any kind of monstera never makes it longer than a few weeks
Love my monsteras! I think I have 7 varieties. Love propagating them and gifting them to friends.
The only way my monstera seemed happy is if I watered it so infrequently that I would almost forget about it.
My Thai constellation is in a soil mix I made and in a ceramic pot and she’s THRIVING! Surprised I have no issues.
Amazing!!! You have the magic touch
My Thai con effortlessly is sooooo healthy
I have the same problem with my thai constellation… UGh!!! It grows a leaf and then loses an old leaf- it’s so frustrating!
Just happened with this one
Apparently a LOT of Thai constellations have problems with a specific plant disease(?) I don’t remember the name, but it causes the plant to become complete mush eventually no matter what you do. The reason why it’s so prolific is due to tissue culture, so it’s kind of unavoidable when it comes to the TC unless you get rlly lucky 😅😅💚 I wish you the absolute best of luck though! Obviously it doesn’t happen to every plant! 🍀🪴
Yes!!! It’s all down to their genetics. So far this one is doing well but I’m not going to stop holding my breath until it’s fully mature haha
I struggle with alocacias, but have not given up!
All 3 pruned ficuses are branching, with is delightful, and the altissima and ruby propagations are going; wood knocked the lyre leaf prop will take too.
So my ficus triangularis, who has been happy and grow grow growing has suddenly decided they hate having leaves and maybe 20% are left. I went on the Internet last evening to see backup availability, discovered a giant plant sale and ordered 14 plants (10 6cm pot babies, but still...).
Plant lyfe! 🪴💚🏳️🌈
Wow!!! Your home is poppin with life!
My most challenging plant so far has been calathea, lol!
But, I live in New Mexico, and it hates it here, even with the humidifier pointed right at it…
I think I’ll have to try again when we are able to move to a more humid state 😅
I live in a humid area, but I’ve struggled with Calathea before too. What worked for me was putting it in my bathroom so it get plenty humidity from the shower. It’s also next to a window and pops out a new leaf every other week.
I do this too!
Calatheas AROUND THE WORLD are like this!
I'm in Nevada and am over the calathea and begonias and ferns. I just don't think it's meant to be. I do want to start a terrarium though, but calathea won't fit in a terrarium really anyways.
@@brynleight5850well you're in a humid area so it's a completely different story yo
'Took a short break because my one year old grew up and went to college'🤣
They grow up so fast don’t they
I raised mine from a lil tiny tissue culture and put it up on a moss pole the second I got it out of sphagnum moss and it has grown insanely well
Well done!
ironically my thai con is the toughest plant out of all of them, she's been thru my journey from the beginning and is still kickin harder than any of my supposedly 'sturdy' sissy ass philodendrons
I love that !
Is there a video on the plant supplements ur using? I would like to learn more about your products
You can buy soil with all of them like espoma, fox farm,
Hi! So a lot of my more recent shorts all show them and I have them linked in my pinned comments too!
I got a thai con about the same size as the one in the video but i water it so well with perified water And now theres 3 new roots growing out the drainage holes. And ive had it for 1 month
Wow!!! Amazing
Mine are literally growing in vases of water. I just change the water once a week. I have had then since April and each plant has at least 2 new leaves 😍
That’s amazing!
Just got my first Thai con a week or so ago! Hope she does good, I see she needs extra love
How lovely!
Not a fancy plant, but begonia maculata, it just dies, it dropped the last leaf yesterday. I'm thinking is the quality of the plant, because I bought 3, one at the grocery store and two at the plant store. The grocery store one and one from the plant store I placed in a bigger vase and gifted to my mom, and some of did die, but them I fixed it and it's beautiful, it blooms, and mine from the plant store died. So I think the grocery store one is way better quality 😂
HAHAHA and could also be soil quality too!
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow they're all in the same soil and just the grocery store one thrived. I think me and begonias don't go togheter 🤣🤣
I was nervous at first about getting a thai con, but honestly, i just potted it up with some soil and orchid bark, put it by a window and watered once every two weeks. It was happy and sprouted 4 leaves in 5 months lol
That’s a happy plant!
Can you just grow it in moss indefinitely? 🤔 asking for myself bc I’m literally at the same stage with the same plant
You can!!! I’m horrible and keeping moss moist so I had to take it out.
my pothos was like that. I repotted it with fresh soil and it went from 'what's a root' to root bound. it's in another new planter and starting to climb up my wall
LOL what’s a root to rootbound 😂😂😂😂😂
Where did you get your Cabinet from???
Mine is fine with water but hated being close to light
Ahhh 👍
Mine rotted when I took it out of PON and put it in coco. I could have cried!
Oh noooo 😭
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow LOL! Yes, that's what I felt. I ordered another one and I am going to make the media as dry as you did, but not moss. Its too hard to get the moss off the roots. I was so proud of those beautiful PON roots. They were so long, they were crowding the pot, that is why I moved it. I was told the cocopeat mixture was too heavy. In less than a week that plant was dust and it has just put out its biggest leaf.
Mine is in pon semi-hydro. Loves it.
Yessss
I got an orchid on Etsy. I watered it once, and the next day, her leaves were wrinkled. She also got root rot, but was it after one watering, or did it come from the "nursery"? I am still nursing her. She has two air roots and a root nubbin starting. 🤞
I feel like it was probably on the struggle bus when you got her!
I got a begonia for mother's day... she's not longer with us 😢 rip 😅 please don't tell my husband
I got one as well and its clinging for dear life. I have no idea what the issue is.
@@Tauchp I don't know how to care for that one. I barely have a green thumb 😥😭 I thought she was gonna make it . I watered what I thought would be the right amount but she got kinda soft on the stems so I stop watering thinking I might've over done it. But she just kept losing flowers, getting flimsy and died 😢
I grow begonias. What kind is it?
@@rainseductress no sure. I bought it at a nursery, it didn't have a tag but it had green leaves and mine had yellow blooms but at the nursery they had lots of different flower colors...bright orange, pink, white, purple, green. The flowers were small and had lots of petals. I'm sorry, I wish I could add a picture here for you to see
@@rainseductress I just looked it up...I think it was a rieger begonia, don't know if that rings a bell for you. But I'd really like to try again so I'm looking into buying another one. I'm sad because the one I had was a mother's day present 💐
❤❤❤ your busy life
💚
What's a bacterial-fungi? Is that like a fish-bird or a cat-dog?
fermented plant fertilizer that contains billions of healthy bacteria & fungi
I really think that monstera just rot from the touch of my hand they hate me lol
For me when I breath near it, the moisture from my breath rots it lol
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow yeah lol I saw your vid where u said that lol
Is it wrong to disturb root ball while repotting and what if we remove all the soil from the roots and repot it , pls someone tell .
So MOST of the time I try not to disturb the root ball. Some plants are more sensitive than others when doing that. Unless the soil or substrate is bad or there’s pests, I just plop the thing into a bigger pot.
Do you grow most of your more fragile plants from corms or cutting or do you buy baby versions of the plant? (Like the Thai Constellation, and the variegated frydek)
Looks like tissue culture to me
Varies! My frydek was grown from corm. This TC I bought as a tissue culture baby (although technically ALL Thai cons are tissue culture). I like to grow plants as babies because they’re cheaper than more established plants and it’s rewarding to see them grow up
Mine love happy frogs soil
Congrats on your 1yo! Just finished college!
Finally getting leaves from my pink chinese evergreen. Only took 8 months!
Haha hopefully you’ll get more!’
Omg i have 1 too and its so pretty i just got a new leaf after 1 month later. The prettiest light pink leaf❤ but it does grow slow i tought i was doing something wrong but i guesd theyre slow growers
The plant I couldn’t get to cooperate was the fuschia
What is the name of the power to promote good growth / avoid bacteria?
Mycorrhizae!
Myco! It’s pinned in my comment
As a new owner of a thai con baby with relatively large leaves for it's relatively small pot and root system, the horror stories worry me greatly.
You can do it 💪
Was that a pink princess in the back!?
Looks like it. Was gonna get one myself until I heard about maintaining the color and possible revert. Picked a pink aglaonema instead.
YES AND IT’S MY GEM. Got it for $30 and the variegation is on POINT🥰
@ohtheplacesyoullgrow nice!! I just got 4 baby plants for 30! A killer steal 2 of them have really good variation the other two are kinda eh but they all came together haha! Actually not too hard been misting and giving natural light and one of them that was only white is turning pink in the white spots and another plant is growing a full pink leaf with a stripe of green! And it has like 2 half white leaves with a pink stripe haha
I love your videos 😂
Thank you! 💛
What/how/how long do you quarantine your new plants?
Usually 2-3 weeks
Good job. I would have just potted the moss with soil.
Thai con gives me stress just watching a video
Me too
Hello! Where did you get your aurora tray? :)
Sometimes plants genetics are not great
Especially for TC!
Im growing mine in LECA and water to keep it alive
That was my original plan! I just couldn’t get clean roots with the moss
Ugh yes mine is my Florida beauty
They’re so pretty too
When growing in moss do you left it completely dry out before watering again? All the Tropical plants I’ve grown in soil have had serious root rot cause it’s not draining well enough so to save them I’ve transferred to leca and moss, the leca I keep a little water in the bottom under the roots but the moss I’ve been experimenting when to water but I’d like to know what you do!
So I don’t use moss a lot when propagating. When I do, I generally keep it moist. HOWEVER, for this TC, I did let it dry out a bit just because I know these are so prone to rot. However, all other plants propagating in moss, I always keep it damp/moist.
I have 8 of them, not a one of them gives me a single problem all have huge roots systems even my tiny baby ones and I don’t do anything special other than water with rain water and put them under grow lights.
You have the touch 🙌
Mine grows really well - i have it in a very hoya-esq sub not moss
🙌
🤔 You can put this in an aquarium and should do well. They usually do well at the top of an aquarium.
Meanwhile I can't make my volunteer tomatoes stop
😂
Mico does wonders for this plant .
It really does
Calathea Dottie. My other calatheas aren’t doing too bad but that one hates me.
Calatheas being calatheas haha
I swear my aloe just doesn't wants to live
Watered her for the first time in ages she begins to rot....
And it's not that she has root rot, the roots are fine ..
This is why I hate moss and don't use it besides the poles.
Agreed haha
I feel loke. My Thai con would die even if I poisoned it 😂
😂😂you’re funny!
🥰
What clear nursery pot did you use? Or is it just a clear cup? I’d love to purchase that size.

What is the PH and PPM of your tap water..?
PH is around 7 and I PH it down to 6 for certain plants.
Wow what a shock in a plant created in a laboratory doesn’t want to live in real life.
Hahahaha so true.
Where did you get the greenhouse shelf?
It’s from @modernaqua (MICHELLE5 will get you a discount)
May I ask a question. Where did you get your plant cabinet?
Shes got a video. The original cabinet came from Ikea and she made amendments to it to make it like a greenhouse. I'll see if I can find and share the link
Hi! You asked about my IKEA Baggebo greenhouse cabinet. I organized everything on my storefront here: www.amazon.com/shop/ohtheplacesyoullgrow/list/2TUL9UB53ZAYU?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsflist_aipsfohtheplacesyoullgrow_BDT2YT6BB7BBKR2TVX34

My channel has a playlist dedicated to how I made it.
@@ohtheplacesyoullgrow thank you)
What powder do you put in the roots ?
It’s a Myco inoculant linked in the description and my LinkTree or in any of my long form videos
It DOES hate moss
Hahaha and I do too
I want that plant so bad. But it’s so expensive 😅
There’s good deals there and there and the prices have def gone down dramatically! Hopefully you can find one soon.
My thai is 3 yr old she is huuuuge im 5/6 and my thai is like 5/9 my i got the trick leca i kill 5 thais till i found what they like im a hard head so my 5th one was the charm she is in leca and love it i bouth a baby thai last month put her on leca also and just gave me a new leave i use dynomyco inoculant and othe stuff
5th times a charm! Noted 🥰
This is way above my growing level 😂😂😂. Time to research some products.
🥰
The cutting i got from my neighbor now sits in a moist soil. I water it every other day to keep the soil moist. I even had it sitting in my fish tank for a while. Doesnt like water? Thats weird... I hear people say the same thing about pothos but thats not true at all. You must be doing something wrong?
Cuttings are different - when roots are first forming they do need consistent moisture.
A clipping acts just like the mother plant
Mines the alb monstera I have many thai
Awesome !
Thanks!
Holy ass, that thang is huge
Alocasia for me
They can be fussy with humidity!
What do you mean by “bacterial fungi”
It’s a fermented plant fertilizer that contains billions of healthy bacteria & fungi
Mine are sensitive plants and they die
Piękne kwiaty
Thank you!
When you live somewhere tropical and hate water 😅
lol seriously
Hopefully you never used tap water after all that effort
