oh shoot! sorry I had a had that webcam thing covered because I don't like I
don't know I'm just um nervous so I cover my camera and I'm not on it do you
guys do that anyway hi welcome back my name is Amanda from planterina and it's
day 2 of live streaming doing plant care so I'm yeah I'm just gonna i'm gonna
show you what i've been looking at in my bedroom for quite a while and I have
this topic Marianne dumb cane to diffenbachia and it has been in this
terracotta pot for a while now but my problem is I don't get to what are these
plants as often as I want and because of that it's always droopy it's always just
looking kind of sad so I keep telling myself I'm going to plant it to repot it
in a grow pot and quite frankly I should have just left it in the grow pot so I
could just put it in a cover I'm gonna get started I have to move the camera
down a little bit I didn't couldn't really set it up because somehow doesn't
work I can't see the screen so I'm gonna take it out sometimes it takes over the
whole pot sometimes it's mold and if it's mold you didn't clean it you
can turn it off with a vinegar and water that's a solution that works and just
wash it off it's okay it's not going to damage the snack and even like the
mineral build-up won't damage the plant it's just the salts that are leaching
out it's all different other minerals that are reaching out so you guys so
yeah anyway don't be alarmed if you see that and this is a okay said it's a dumb
cane dirty for you guys and let my table get dirty so this is just gonna pop
right out you know see this okay oak stop it's gonna pop right out and you
can see it's the roots it's not it's probably it would be fine to actually
keep it in that terracotta pot and if I do want to keep it in this terracotta
pot I probably will put it in a bigger one okay this is kind of small
and I literally water it as often as I can and but still not
enough and it's using a lot of moisture very very quickly so all I'm gonna do is
put it in here and then I forgot to get this soil I'm so sorry and then I'm
gonna greener so you'll just whatever pot you put it in you backfill it to the
point where it's stable all the roots have soil around it and so when I do
water it again the I know it's a plastic pot and we're actually working quite
hard to try to eliminate plastic pots it's going to take some time but we are
in the process of that but it's in a plastic pot and puffs like plastic or
ceramic keep the moisture in here a lot longer than the terra cotta pots I love
I love terracotta pots they love the way they look they're just so oh I love them
look at this so anyway you just have to remember that when you are planting in
terracotta pots we're going to be watering like a lot more a lot more so
you know this guy this is a this is a Chinese evergreen and I left it in the
grow pot and I've water it like every two weeks so like if you have a busy
schedule or had a busy schedule you know you probably want to keep your your
plants in the nursery pots and I know I mentioned this in a couple of other
videos but plants like if the camera for photography reasons and it's doing well
under a grow light it's actually doubled in size we do the we do have these aunt
Arina calm but I think just the large ones I don't remember so anyway so
that's that's what I did I transplanted it but I should not have transplanted it
I mean I did you can as long as you know what you're doing but the roots of
plants like Hoyas and even like pictus skinned asses kicked just make most skin
taxes don't really the roots to be pushed and pushed and
you know in david can't think of the right word
this is leave them leave them in their pulse like where do you cut and i say
your since I've got it here I might you might as well do it cuz it's only been
like five minutes night would be a really short video if I stopped but
doesn't matter guess YouTube has all different length videos
so let me just show you so when you are propagating the dome team or even a
Chinese evergreen you're gonna want to take a section that has multiple leaves
multiple leaves like if you're just to take a leak you're not probably not
gonna get any roots but so I'm gonna do this just Oh am I gonna do it for you I
guess I'm gonna do it for you do this a lot I cut my plants a lot for you so
let's just get up close so this area right here this be it's the main it's
the main stalk I'm gonna go in here and I'm going to cut it like that this looks
a little bit more manageable now this plant so there you go
not the water it a little bit less so now I've got this section here I was
actually just gonna take that leaf off but it did it itself that's it so what
I'm gonna do at this point is I'm going to put it in Baz of the water and just
grow it that way or I could put it in the soil but I like to put these in
water because I find that I just like watching the roots grow so that's kind
of it so if you want to propagate your dumb cane take a section that has
multiple leaves it's kind of called the node but it's hard to see the node in a
case like this so just to be safe you want to cut it just like that
aren't you guys that's kind of it it's a short one today cuz I've gotta get back
to work and I just wanted to check in with you and do a little do a little bit
of care and I got that done although I have to now backfill it that's it thank
you guys I'll see you tomorrow I hope ok I have to end this I don't know how to
end it I bye guys
