It was a bit of an experiment having one set in pearlite and one in just water. Here’s what I noticed between them: • They both did start in water, one in the glass pasta jar (A), and one in an opaque jug (B). I noticed within the first two weeks that plant B’s roots were far longer than plant A’s! I think this was to do with being in a dark jug? In the wild, a monstera will dip its nodes and air roots in to dark puddles for extra water, so I’m wondering if this was a good mimic for nature. That’s when I decided to try pearlite for glass jar A. • Once the glass jar had pearlite in it, plant A took off. I kept the waterline at about three inches in to the jar, this way the plant really was using the pearlite to grow downward and create really established, healthy roots • B steadily grew, round and round and round the bottom of the jug, eventually growing the establishing roots from those original spirals • At the point of repotting, they’ve been establishing for 6+ months now. Seems potentially like too long, but I knew these guys were going in to a BIG pot at some point so wanted to give them a fighting chance. The leaves they were establishing from were very mature from my old plant, Bastard, (called because he was a Big Bastard) • I think patience is key with plants like this, never pot before the roots are branching off from the initial one. For me, I’m proud I’m at the potting stage! Need to make another order with Off You Prop on Etsy, as 20L of soil wasn’t enough to fill Fernie’s whole pot!!?! Can’t wait to keep him growing well 🪴💚 #PropToPot #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #RootPorn #Nallon #MonsteraMob #PlantCorner #PLANTMAFIA #PlantPhotoClub 63 29 Comments @Nallon · 3M Well, cinnamon sprinkled, sticky fly traps added, and fingers crossed. I’ll be spraying neem oil and water this evening to try and help too. I will beat these fungus gnats 😐 I got the neem oil and cinnamon for a grand total of £3.98 from my local international supermarket - saved myself about £15 I recon! 💅🏻 Send me your best wishes #GregGang 😭🪴 #PestControl #PLANTMAFIA #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantPhotoClub #Nallon #RoseCalathea #Jade #KindaHappyPlants 58 47 Comments @Nallon · 1M A DAYS difference?!

Said jail was put up for sale by the government body that owns it in 2016. Locals have campaigned for the last 6 years that the space should be an arts building, as we don’t have much in the way of dedicated spaces for that round here, but they want to sell it off to build flats around the protected cell… But to add to the protest and add to the sites value, Banksy added his latest piece on the outside wall of the building. He confirmed it on his Instagram with a Bob Ross style video, and it’s worth checking out because of how funny the parody is 🤣 It’s an incredibly cool piece of art, of Wilde escaping the prison with a rope made of his work, with a type writer hanging as the weight at the end. I don’t really know why I’ve gone on this tangent, other than it’s the only interesting thing about where I live!! History lesson over for today ladz #HappyPlants #NewPlants #StringOfPearls #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #GregGang #PLANTMAFIA #PlantPhotoClub #Nallon P.S. if you’ve worked out where I’m from and you know what time it is when I’m posting this, no you didn’t 🤣✌️ 42 13 Comments @Nallon · 1M Here’s entry number two for #GregTurnsTwo photo competition!

I’ve not stopped staring at it for most of today to be honest 🤩🌱 Science and maths were hard for me at school, but as soon as I started applying them to things I enjoyed, initially photography and now my plant care, I get it!
