- This is a long one but I feel like there's so much to be said and to know about soil, so hopefully you find this helpful!
I talk about my aroid soil mix and different amendments that I use, potting with no drainage holes, how I water my plants, root rot + soil q&a.
Feel free to leave any additional questions for me in the comments or you can always send me a DM on Instagram too!

I just adore Pudge. He’s. Such a well trained dog snd very entertaining. Always keep him in the videos.
Aww thank you Lisa!! He’s the best little helper 🥰
Wow one whole hour, we’re blessed
You're too kind!! 💚💚💚
This is such a satisfying video - loved watching you make your soil mix/pot up plants/transition plants from moss to soil. Great content as always. I hope your wrist feels better!
Thank you Deanna!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 🥰
Thanks for all of the tips! Plus, Pudge’s snoring was so adorable! 💚
Thank you for the continued support Carla!! Hope you and the family + pup are doing well!!
Watched the vid last week but forgot to comment. Love that you touch on all aspects, not only explaining what, but why. You deciding to come to YT was the BEST decision ever!
This is so sweet 😭 Thank you for making me feel so welcomed in this space. I appreciate you!
I love this. The aesthetic of the glass vases is so nice!
This is such a GREAT video! I learned so much. Please keep making videos like this! Loved it!
Very informative! Thank you. Your aroid mix is so pretty.....functional and beautiful. Love your daring, glass "no drainage" pot angle, so lovely. Seems very satisfying to water with that squeeze bottle :)
Thank you for watching danielle! 🩵🩵
I have been following on Instagram and was dying to see how you plant your glass containers, so Thankyou! You are awesome! I live in Coquitlam, and work in Burnaby so frequent all the nurseries! Xo
U are definitely one of my favorite plant youtuber. So through.. I always learn something new and u r very entertaining to boot..thank you for sharingyou knowledge.
Aww thank you so much Debra!! That's so thoughtful of you to say. I appreciate you being here ♥️♥️
omg my question was answered 😭 my fav youtube channel, these videos are so informative and ily pudge
Oh yay!! I'm super happy to hear you're finding these helpful! Thank you for being here and Pudge says ily2!!
Coco coir is more sustainable than peat moss too. Which is why it’s a better option too. ❤️
What a great video 👍👍👍 I learned so much. I have to watch this few times to make sure I remember everything (or take some notes). Thank you 😊
Yay! I'm so happy to hear that. Feel free to ask any questions you might have!!
@@unplantparenthood I am watching your other videos about the anthuriums. I just received my very first one today. Anthurium crystallinum. It is beautiful. I really enjoy your videos and I learn a lot. Great job 👏
that repot was so satisfying to watch
Plant people ASMR?! Haha
What a wonderful informative video answered all of my questions about no drainage potting !
Oh yay!! I’m glad you found it helpful 🥰
👁️ This video is literally perfect timing. Did Pudge read my mind?? 🐶💚
OMG, I just LOVE the interaction with ur puppykins ❤❤❤
He's just the bestttt 😭
Another informative video
Thank you for this amazing, informative video!
Thank you for watching!!
Wow thank you for this ! I love every detail and time you put in ! I learned so much from you and love all your videos !! It was the best hour I spent learning anything
I'm sooo happy you found it useful!! Thank you for taking the time to watch and be here!
I’m having my “wwcd what would charmaine do” moments and referring to old videos. Always the best.
😆😆
literally making tater tots w queso and salsa à-la Unplantparenthood, so this was the perfect upload time !! loving the planty videos and pudge content !!
Omg I haven't had fully loaded tots in weeks. Thank you for reminding me that I haven't been getting a well balanced meal!! And THANK YOU for watching!! 🥰
Girl I love your videos ♥️
Thank you Yuna! 🥺
F*cking Genius!!! Mind blown with the way you applied the diatomaceous earth 🤯 sooo goood!
I used to puff it out of a squeeze bottle before and I would rage because I'm like THERES FRICKIN DE EVERYWHERE 😂
I love your videos
Thank you Kayleigh! 🥺💗
This was a super helpful vid, and Pudge was his usual helpful self too. Hope your wrist heals up fast - arnica and hot and cold compress should do the trick. I sprain the hell outta my right ankle almost annually. 😫
Oh gosh I'm sorry to hear that!! A recurring injury is never fun. I have bad wrists and fingers in general from so many sprains playing volleyball. 😓 And I'm happy you enjoyed the video! 💖
Loved this video I’ve been repotting plants in glass jars like you do cause I love your aesthetic and had so many questions this answered all of them! 🤗
Ohh that's so nice to hear! How are you liking the drainage hole-less potting so far? If there are any other questions you have that I didn't answer, please feel free to let me know. I'd be happy to answer them! 💚
@@unplantparenthood I love it it’s so easy and most importantly my plants looovveee it!
YES!!!! Bulk Barn for soil!!
right?!? Why are we still packaging them in plastic where they get all moldy and nasty 😤
Thanks for answering our Qs! 💚
Figaros has put together baggies of coco husk for me, so I bet they'd be willing to put it/other mediums in our own containers - but possibly not during Covid times?
Ohh that's so good to know!! I wish Figaros was closer to me, but to be honest if they did eventually offer amendments by the pound I would totally make the trip!
Can you do a educational video on what you do step by step when you receive imports or new plants ? Just the process of acclimating it and growing it into your environment. I’ve been wanting to import some plants but am worried they wouldn’t acclimate correctly when I arrive . I really love your videos ! Thank you for them !
This one is DEFINITELY coming!! I promise!
Beautiful mixture! Do you have a favorite indoor potting mix that you use as the 1st soil?
Fox Farms soil is my #1 choice!
thank You, very informative! i want to repot all my 111 plant :D
I hope your repots went well!!
LOVE your videos, thank you for sharing! Do you have DIY pon mix video? TY 🌿💕
Hi Melissa! Unfortunately I don't because I've never made it myself since it's so hard to rinse out all the substrates without having a hose :( But my friend Jing has a highlight on her Instagram here:
instagram.com/stories/highlights/17885497400317371/?hl=en
Fern also has a video on it! czcams.com/video/2TN4cVdNlGg/video.html
@@unplantparenthood TY 💚
Pudgy is the star of the show!!!
He tends to always be the center of attention everywhere he goes 😄
@@unplantparenthood because he's so darn cute.
Love this video! Which potting soil do you use? 🙏🏻
Right now I'm just using sort of a standard indoor potting mix from a local nursery, but I also use Pro Mix indoor soil! If you wanna splurge, Fox Farms is the way to go!
I take your word to heart. You’re the only CZcams who explains and shows things.
🥰 😘
Is all the components washed first (Leca, spag moss)? I saw your video where you boiled the spag and your Leca. Just got to the part you rinse your perlite. So, this mixture you use for everything but begonias. The glass vase type repot. Does the Leca at the bottom help from overwatering?
Yes- all of the ingredients are prewashed and prepped beforehand! LECA is thoroughly rinsed of dust, spag moss is sterilized by boiling, and the perlite is sifted and rinsed. I use this mix for begonias, but I add a lot more potting soil and worm castings since I find them to be pretty thirsty plants and heavy feeders. I add LECA at the bottom of glass vases because it naturally wicks water upward into the soil, and also prevents plant roots from sitting in a pool of water. :)
I love pugs! Just got one 5 mths ago. They are so serious and funny. ☺️
They really are soooo funny! Pudge makes me crack up at least once a day. Congrats on your new addition!! 🐶
Hi Charmaine it’s me Charmaine 🤣 I just love saying it so stupid of me but anyway really enjoyed this video going to have to watch it again with so much to intake thank you so much you and your little cute doggie have a blessed blessed day🧤👒🪴NYC🇹🇹
Hi Charmaine, it's me Charmaine! 😆 I'm glad you enjoyed the video-- I hope you were able to get some info from it to help care for your plant babies!
Thanks for this video, I’ve learned a lot, will be looking forward for more videos from you😊🥰
Thank you for watching Maria!
Coco coir can be found at Amazon
Hi Plant. I hope you’re doing well and your wrist gets better. I heard you say in other videos that you use pom or I’m not sure how to spell it but what is it
Thanks for your information of videos
Hi Christine! I'm sorry for the late reply, but pon is short for lechuzapon :) It's basically just a growing medium made of different kind of rocks! You can learn more about it here:

Im new , you have amazing 😍😍plants . I wish, that i can buy some plants from you. Your little prince pug🥰so, so, so, adorable.
Hi sheena! Thank you for being here! Pudge says hello 🥰
What were you sprinkling on the roots??
Hi Alisa! I think you might be talking about diatomaceous earth! I use it to deter fungus gnats :)
How do you decide between regular moss and sheet moss ?
Sheet moss doesn't retain as much humidity, so I only really use on top of soil or as a decorative moss pole
Would calatheas be good to use vermiculite?
I’ve heard a lot of good things about using vermiculite with Calatheas since they’re so thirsty! I actually don’t own any Calatheas because they hate me 🥲
Where do you get your mister
💓💓💓💚
PUDGE😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
I heard there was a movement to not use sphagnum moss because its not sustainable (?) Maybe you can do a future video on other options or alternatives of substrates ?
I actually talked about the sustainability issue of sphagnum moss a bit in my sphagnum moss video. And I also did a segment on how to keep reusing it so that you don’t need to keep re-buying. I also did a propagations video so you can see what other substrates I use to propagate and grow in besides sphagnum moss. :) Sphagnum peat moss (which is decomposed sphagnum moss) is the substrate that is highly unsustainable, and unfortunately most soil mixes contain it. I think the only way to avoid this completely is to grow purely in semi-hydro.
@@unplantparenthood thanks! Would you mind sharing the link to reusing sphagnum, I'm interested in hearing tips!
What do you think of Pon and anthuriums???
love it! I actually have a lot of anthuriums growing in pon :)
@@unplantparenthood oh perfect!! My clarinervium is so ugly and sad .. the leaf blad tip is like eating the plant away, and my edges of the queen is all crispy🥲
But obv rest first and take care of yourself and your hand and pudge ❤️
Is that sprayer battery operated?
It has a USB charger!
Fox Farm Happy Frog or Ocean Forest?
Happy Frog is my preferred!
a bulk plant store 😱
Right?!?!
Can you add your pots to your favourites links?
I'm from Vancouver too which store did you get the live moss from??
You can find sheet moss from Gardenworks, Wing Wong Nursery, Arts Nursery and WIG!
@@unplantparenthood ouh perfect! Thank you 💓
🖐✋🖖👌✌🤞🤟🤘🤙👍🤣🤣🤣
Too wet for aroids. More often than not they actually prefer being in a pure mixture of perlite, leca, and chunky bark. Potting soil is completely unnecessary and requires minimal amounts if you want to water less.
All my aroids have been doing fine over the years in this mix! To each their own I guess 🤷🏻♀️
👁️ Is it possible for a soil mix to be sexy? 🙊💚
