🥑 #avocadoexperiment / #greatpothosexperiment UPDATE🥑 ✨I've been putting it off for a long ass time cuz I was so scared to mess it up/kill him but my big boi "HAASta-la-vista" (I've just been calling him Hoss lately) got his first pot and haircut today... (Click either of the tags at the beginning if you want to see his journey thus far.) Since he's been growing with #pothos for the last couple months I decided to pot them all together... ✨I trimmed all but three of the leaves off the top portion, dusted all the cut areas with cinnamon and tomorrow I'm going to put his top in a small pot and see if it'll grow roots. 🙃 ✨The soil I used is (eyeball measurements) roughly equal parts regular MiracleGro and Cactus Citrus Palm MiracleGro (I used the pot to measure half and half ish) with roughly two 4" pots worth of perlite and a wee bit of pumice. (Figured I might as well use the maybe ½ cup I had left.) The perlite and pumice were sifted with a wire mesh strainer to get all the dust/tiny pieces out. I also added a wee bit of cinnamon to the mix to hopefully discourage any fungal growth (maybe like 2 or 3 Tbsp). I also lightly dampened the soil before potting and used my hands to mix it up really well and break up any big clumps. ✨I put this all in a 7.5" pot with drainage, a handful or two at a time, using a chopstick to gently maneuver the roots/make sure there were no big air holes. (Tapping on the bottom and sides occasionally.) ✨This concludes part one of my experiment. I think that's all the pertinent info for this one... Not sure where I'll get #avocadowater for my basil now, but that's a problem for another day... Lol Feel free to ask questions if I missed anything. 🙃✌️🖤 #sciencewithgreg #avocado #socalavocados #socalgreg #pothoswater #pothospack #goldenpothos #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #propagationstation #plantmafia #citrusgrandprix #planttherapy #wickedvalkyrie #HAAStaLaVistaBaby

#sciencewithgreg #greatpothosexperiment #avocadoexperiment ✨ UPDATE✨ MY PLAIN WATER BABY HAS STARTED ON HIS LIL TINY TAP ROOT FINALLY! Plain water + pothos baby is truckin along as well. Starting to crack up top, so I'm expecting a tree sprout soonish! 🧚For those of you who've voiced that you can't get them to root etc: I don't really know what exactly has made me so "successful" but this is what I do know. I keep them in my laundry room which has no air vents. I live in SoCal right in between the desert and the coast (Camp Pendleton/Oceanside) so I get TONS of sun/heat but also decent humidity. (Basically no rain tho. 🥵) The laundry room has a west facing sliding door that, depending on the time of year, gets 3-6 hours of direct sunlight in the afternoon/evening. I do also close the door when I do the laundry to add extra humidity in the room. (Tho I honestly don't know if that matters or not, I just do it for the benefit of my pothos.) I also change the water on these every 5 days or so and only use room temp water from my Brita(filtered water). 🧚 My original/first experiment, the #mycorrhizalfungi concentrate + water + 25% strength #foxfarmgrowbig fertilizer + #pothos baby is also doing spectacular! His leaves just keep getting bigger and bigger! Tho we've been stuck at 7 leaves for what feels like weeks... Anywho, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! (Sorry if any of this is incoherent/doesn't make sense. Hubs has a 96 this weekend so he's been pouring shots all day. #MarineWifeLife) #pothospack #goldenpothos #epipremnum #epipremnumaureum #avocado #socalavocados #socalgreg #wickedvalkyrie #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #newgrowth #propagationstation #citrusgrandprix #WaterboySaga
