Every fiddle leaf owner I know have weird little things going on with the leaves, I think it is just how the plant do. For reference here is some leaves on a fiddle leaf I pass by regularly  He is in near perfect rainforest like conditions and still has weird poo poo going on. So it might be just be your fiddle leaf being itself

 I just repotted an Azealia and chucked a rock underneath it to attempt a root over rock grow. Being a transparent planter I can watch it get root bound and decide more easily when to take actions There was no shortage of roots in the store planted so I think he will survive well enough

Hubis posted:So did you just kind of prune the roots a little bit and shoved a rock up under the middle, with the plan of letting the roots (re) grow around it and then planting it more shallowly when you repot? Pretty much yeah, however I think it (and I base this on nothing) is important to do a more gradual process of soil removal. So once it is established Ill take a tablespoon or so out every week to make sure I don't shock the root system  I this is my ficus on brick after 3 months and I'm very happy with it

There seemed to be some interest in this so My plan for this one is to have this one appear to have broken out of its small pot So enter a fast growing lily pilly and a small terracotta pot  Perlite and Coco Coir for the bottom, as I understand it this assists root growth   Packing the soil to more easily to keep the broken terracotta pot in place  Eyeing up how it's going to be placed  I'm using normal potting mix for the main root ball here, you can also see the (white) roots I draped over the top of the pot for A E S T H E T I C  I filled the outside of the black planter with more coir and perlite , again for root growth.  Voila

My SO got a black zz plant, it was a touch pricey so we deliberated on the pot and the aesthetic. We have a persistent gnat problem so she has to top sand on all the indoor plants but it makes for a nice look on this one in particular  Bonus monstera

LoreOfSerpents posted:Sand doesn't provide a physical barrier against fungus gnats, assuming that's what you've got. It also doesn't suffocate them. Entomology and botany studies have been disproving the sand gimmick for years, but those headlines don't get as much attention as "this one weird trick will rid you of fungus gnats forever." The little buggers are drat persistent for sure tho.

His Divine Shadow posted:Assembled this last night, it feels a bit rickety to be honest. Considering doing something to beef up the construction. They really should have made it so you could screw it together or something. I recently started keeping compost its great. It's great to supplement a worm farm when they need time to digest and it's good fun to turn it every couple days and have something to do that isn't being on tv or dumb internet bs

Mine is just a 50L plastic tub with holes, with some Coco Coir and scrub turkey mound inside as a starter I litterally chuck everything in it but chopped up nice and fine. Mower clippings, old toast, onions, meat scraps I don't think I'm getting the heat as high as I would like, but I think it's making compost. The volume keeps going down even though I'm adding stuff So learning experience And if it works out I wanna get a blue water barrel so turning is as easy as rolling it round the lawn a bit.

Attempt at becoming leafy green self sufficient coming along well, Garden bed nearly done, I took some early compost but I hope it will finish itself off in the bed if I just leave it for a bit.  And I've taken some sambung cuttings and I hope they will propagate  I've also reorganised my plants because of a change in address. But I think it's looking well

TofuDiva posted:I love the idea of turning a small space into an herb garden! What are the cuttings that you've got there? Some type of woody basil, rosemary that had become rootbound , Asian basil and a chili plant I'm hoping it all takes but I've got my doubts about the soil quality. This is directly under my clothes line , so I want to be careful I don't impale my partner's foot

Hirayuki posted:A strong wind knocked over my potted fig, which lost a small branch. I stuck the branch in a cup of water, which is what I do for any prematurely severed leaf or shoot (hence my three baby Christmas cacti). It lost its leaves and sat there with its hard green tip, essentially neglected, for a few weeks. You've basically done water propagation, once the root tissue looks significant you can move it over to some moist soil I've heard that the root structure is somewhat different and needs to be eased into being in soil I've always used very moist soil and walked it back to a more regular water schedule over a week or two but that's just me https://cleverbloom.com/root-plant-cuttings-water/

I put it in a fresh, nicer jar of water for now; does anyone know if I can just tuck it into a pot of soil + Osmocote and get anything significant, or is this its last desperate hurrah?
