    I couldn't agree more to watering after repotting! I've always done this after repotting and not once have I ever had an issue with my plants. I also water my plants before moving to a new home and that also helps prevent shock ☺

    Love your humor. I raise up my pots with glass jars which reflect light. I also use tins or large cans that I decorate. To keep the pots and the risers from getting too pattern crazy I keep them in basic white and clear glass so the plant is the star. Hugs from Utah. ♻🪴🤗

    I agree with watering after repotting! My mother gave me her golden pothos, it wouldn't grow and it didn't grow even after I placed it in my apartment near a window. I repotted the plant, gave it a good wash and it started growing leaves like crazy!

      *_"It makes perfect sense that the watering allows the soil to settle"_*
      There is absolutely no need for that, soil will always settle over time. One should never soak the soil after re-potting, instead of doing a full watering, you should wet the soil before use and then gently squeeze out most of the water (be careful not to squeeze too hard). Next, loosen the soil again. When re-potting, avoid pushing too hard on the soil to keep it quite loose.

    Absolutely true and a step no one should skip. From your yard plants to your house plants, this is an important essential step. It settles the soils, helps eliminate air pockets and provides a comfty blanket for your new roots to cozy up to.

    Mr. Sheffield,
    My husband and I are selling our house and moving to, "the end of the road" (I haven't bought it yet, don't want to give the location jic)
    Last night I found a peony farm there. It is a very picturesque location.I let my agent sleep in till 6. (I warned him about me!)
    I'm imagining an event area for weddings. I mean, how much more beautiful a location could you get for your wedding than a flower farm, set between a mountain range and the bay. I am so excited. And a little terrified. I have always had gardens buuuuuuuuut a farm? That's a little different. So, tell me honestly, would you jump at this chance?

      @@SheffieldMadePlants I got the paper work on the flower farm. I think these people might have "in perpituitied" themselves right off the market. There were so many restrictions, covenances, 200'+ setbacks, I wouldn't even be able to build the pavillions and trellises and suport arches for the wedding grounds because there is less than 25% of the land your allowed to build structures on legally vs. physically.
      The real deal breaker was when they said, Pickles, Popcorn, Sneze-its, and Sweetpea weren't welcome. What kind of horrible human being writes off horses for perpetuity on a 6 acre rural farm?
      It was beautiful, but apparently that particular dream is someone elses.
      I guess I'll have to keep looking for mine.
      I really like the flower farm idea. Starting from scratch perhaps. It would take 3-5 to get the gardens established. . . Hmm? I think I'm going to view the farm anyway. It will give me do's and don'ts for if I do.
      I would feel a little bad but, I warned this agent about me. He said he could take it. lol.

    • @jackrice2770
      @jackrice2770 Před 4 měsíci +2

      Good question:
      Roots will not grow in air, with the exception of those plants with aerial roots which is a whole different story. For most plants, as you'll see in nature, they aren't growing roots into the air, they're growing where there's water! Without water, and the various soil fungi, roots can't get the stuff the plant needs. There's a rather complex interaction between plants and the soil microorganisms that allow the various nutrients to be absorbed. Fertilizer actually promotes the growth of these soil microorganisms which is what helps the plant grow. Dumping a bunch of fertilizer alone doesn't do much and can chemically burn the roots (ouch!).
      What about hydroponics? That's a whole other story for another time.
      Now for the exceptions: orchids are the most famous for not wanting to be buried alive...but these plants have adapted to growing without much soil and can their roots can pull moisture from the air. That's all well and good if your orchid is growing in the jungle, but I suspect you don't live in the jungle. What orchids need is FAST draining soil/bark medium and, think jungle again, rather frequent watering/misting. If you've ever been to a tropical environment, you'll know that it rains, at least a bit, nearly every day, except during the 'dry' season when it rains from time to time, and rains constantly during the wet season.
      Those aerial roots on your Monstera or philodendron are for support, these guys climb trees, you see, and (jungle again!) in that humid environment they can also pull some moisture from the air and the bark of the tree they're climbing. These tropical vines are fighting for the light with all those other plants, so they climb and as any climber knows, you need something to hold onto on the way up or you'll fall. You don't see them scrambling along the ground, do you?
      Cactus? These plants have adapted to an organically-poor, fast-draining soil with infrequent watering, but when they do get rained on, it's a downpour...ever been in a desert thunderstorm? You'll be soaked in no time...and dry out quickly once the storm has passed. Remember that your cactus is in a pot, not the desert, and those roots can't search for moisture outside the bounds of whatever you're trapped them in. Drainage is the key to not killing them with too much water.
      The take-away: your "house" plants aren't adapted to grow in houses! (Surprise!) If you mimic the conditions each plant has adapted to in nature, you'll have good success. You don't have to live in a tropical greenhouse, your green buddies are generally pretty forgiving, but at the same time, you can't expect them to thrive in a situation that's the opposite of where their ancestors decided to settle down.
