    Yeah. if it helps anyone, this plant has a really thick stem and glossy leaves so it stores a lot of water. That means it can dry out a bit and be fine. I actually let mine dry out completely. from top to bottom almost like a succulent kind of dry and have it in a cactus mix with perlite and orchid bark and it's happy. I've seen from one or two other CZcamsrs as well and they've said that this plant is VERY prone to root rot so an extremely airy mix along with timing for letting it dry out works best

    @diegoagz Před 4 lety +63

    @wildfern Just by looking at the soil mix you used I can tell that was the original cause of the problem. Aroids absolutely HATE potting mix! it becomes a sludge at the bottom of the pot that causes root rot no matter how much perlite you add in to amend it. Regular potting mix is very finely grained and when wet it clogs every space that is left between the roots, perlite, and pot. You should try making your own mix from scratch using 30% coco coir, 30% wood bark (orchid mix), 30% perlite and 10% earthworm castings. This is the magic soil mix for all aroids and I am about to make some, actually. Good luck!

    I found a medium sized one of these guys at my local greenhouse for literally only 15 freaking dollars. The poor thing was in such rough condition, the people must not have know what they were doing because they clipped it in so many places that won't regrow so there's stumps on two sides & the leaves were browning around them. BUT I put it up in my bathroom by the window & it's absolutely thriving. I love your videos & love this plant. I just ordered an monstera adinsonia & a philodendron birkin offline, they're actually my first ONLINE PLANT PURCHASES & I'm so excited. 💕

    When I first bought my rhaphidophora, it was massive with 4 main stems and lots of side branches. I attached them all over my wall. I then decided to repot it as the previous owner had it in a pot with no drainage holes and also the pot was too wide- I prefer smaller pots to reduce chances of rot. Well after I repotted, the whole plant went into shock, the roots rotted and I had to cut it. I had enough cuttings to fill 6 jars. When some of them rooted, I potted them and they rotted again! I potted the rest of the cuttings and they've been good so far but this has unexpectedly been the worst plant for me 😂😣

    Was looking for a help video for m y mature, huge, beautiful, floor to ceiling growing tetrasperma. It was gorgeous and all of my plant mama friends were lovingly envious of my beauty that framed my newly remodeled bathroom. It started about 3 weeks ago with me accidentally and STUPIDLY cutting a completely healthy stem that was growing beautifully...when I meant to cut the stem that had lost alot of leaves and looked unhealthy. I almost passed out as soon as I saw what I had done. I propogated the whole vine and thankfully alot of my props are growing roots. I just pulled it outside and I think that root rot was the culprit for the unhealthy stem and whole plant. I hope and pray that I can save her! 😭

    Okay, so same here. I did repot it and looked at the root but there was no black parts, it looked okay. Still, the yellow and black dry leaves are STILL happening, so I cut a few big pieces of it today and put it in some water. I still hope I can save the mother plant and I'll try repotting it again and you know, washing the roots this time. It's really stressful since it looked really good once I got it. But, you know, it wasn't even in the right soil mix so I'm not even surprised tbh. Thank you for this video!

      Same with mine! I repotted in good “airy” aroid potting mix when I first brought it home (it needed a re pot bad! I was careful to not disturb roots and placed in new soil and another nursery pot with good drainage. Every day a bottom leaf would STILL turn yellow. Did not over water, and always made sure to use a moisture meter. I was so confused and frustrated with this plant, and then found this video! I immediately turned this plant upside down and looked at roots more carefully! Long and behold…. I found the mesh from a seedling pod was splitting off the roots and strangling the main root ball. MORE than HALF of the roots fell off and I cut the plant up since there were barely no roots on this mother plant now. Water propagating the top vine cuttings and placed both propagations and mother plant in the plant “ICU” we will see I guess….

Today I noticed 2 yellow leaves. Checked the roots and almost all rotted. So removed the dead and currently have it in water to regrow the roots. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I've since cut it up and am propagating them. I'm wondering how yours has done since this video ten months ago ?

    • @wildfern
      @wildfern  Před 3 lety +2

      Oh my gosh! Since this video... mine actually rotted AGAIN. Right after I moved. I think it went too long without water so then when I watered it, it rotted. I was so bummed because it was growing into a beautiful lush plant! Anyways, I was able to save two decent cuttings from it and re-root them. I now have one potted back up in soil (in a clear orchid container so I can see the roots) and one is in Leca! So far so good.

Checked them less than 2 weeks later & the ends were rotting. Cut off the rot, dipped the cut ends in cinnamon, put them back into sphagnum moss without the bag yesterday. The air roots have grown a bit and the growth points are white spots, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Wishing you the best of luck with yours.
