    This is very helpful, thank you! I have a pothos that has sat in the same place for several years and does really well. I recently took one of the longer vines and tacked it to the wall in the adjacent room. If that vine doesn't get the same light as the main plant, would that affect the leaves? They started turning yellow just on this vine and I am trying to figure out why. I also did neglect to water for a time period and then resumed, so maybe it is still healing, but I wondered if light levels affect the farther end of vines or just the main plant. I hope my question makes sense. Thank you!

    I’m going to repot a pt palm that has a single trunk that’s leaning or bent to an extreme. Is there a way to repot it that would encourage the trunk to straighten over time?

  • @michaelcarnohan
    @michaelcarnohan 22 дні тому

    Propagation will take place faster if you do not change the water. Changing it once to twice a week, should be replaced by once, one time, at the one month mark. And even then, if there is not a lot of visible algae, it may not need to take place at all during the root propagation period.

    • @michaelcarnohan
      @michaelcarnohan 22 дні тому

      If you're interested, it could be a follow up video to test this. 😉

    • @michaelcarnohan
      @michaelcarnohan 22 дні тому

      The reason behind it is enzyme release by the cuttings that repair the other cuttings and promote growth. The signalling of this by multiple cuttings is greater than by one alone. And is beneficial. If you change the water, you lose this benefit.

    • @OhioTropics
      @OhioTropics 18 днів тому

      Keep in mind that when you purchase an orchid, especially if all the flowers are open, you don't know how long they have been open for and the flowers could be near the end of their lifespan. Add to this the change in environment, and it can affect things even more. Just know that with good care, your orchid will rebloom every year and once your plant gets used to your environment, you will be able to enjoy your flowers for a longer period of time :-)

    Hi there. I usually cut all the stems off after blooming. But now I have a phalaenopsis orchid that has pushed a stem right out of the top leaf, and so I'm not sure if I can cut that stem off at the base, because I'm worried that there might not grow new leafs at that spot. Have you ever had such a case, and how would you go about it?

    • @OhioTropics
      @OhioTropics Місяць тому

      When that one is done, if you'd like to cut it down, you can just leave about an inch of that stem at the base so that you don't get to close to the leaves. I've never actually had this happen personally, but I have heard of this happening. Good luck!

    • @OhioTropics
      @OhioTropics Місяць тому

      Glad you enjoyed the video! Those pots are great, but certainly not 100% necessary. One thing to be careful of is that the potting medium will dry out more quickly so you likely will need to water more frequently. Otherwise, if you can keep up with the watering, the added air to the roots is great.
