Repotting success for my Never Never Plant
#HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #CalatheaCrew Mercury here is a new edition to the #evilgenius laboratory. I reallllly didn’t like the colour so I opted to repot immediately instead of letting him adjust. First step was dump the whole pot in enough water that the soil started to float. About 30 mins later there was a bunch of white floaters that were not sand or perlite and were too small to really see properly but kinda mushy when I tried to pick some up. My best guess is fungus in the new plants media 😭 #ShareYourProcess is important I think so here’s what’s happened so far, a complete root wash and whole brand new pot, media, light fungicide and barely 48 hrs with me. He’s spent 12 resting before I decided it was worth the upset a repot would cause when his colour was so washed out and around 36 hours in hospital with the other #RescuePlants (I don’t think their profiles are up yet) and already colour is improving. The 7 Amagris that came home with Mercury are next for the full treatment and still quarantined

@AnthuriumQueen thank you 😊 it’s a bit of a secret skill tbh 😅 part of why I like Greg so much!! I can show off my babies without the direct attention on me personally, it’s a username and some planty pics 👌 much less stressful than selling things on fb to show off what I can do 😊 I just want everyone to love my planty babies 😍 they’re so worth the attention and it’s all about them here 😊 plus, I’m helping 🥳🥳
@AnthuriumQueen I love the whole “I can’t keep plants alive” changing to “I did what you said and you should see them!” ❤️👌 the fact that there’s an app based around that makes me an insane amount of happy if I’m being honest 😅 I have always been naturally good with plants and animals. I suck at being a people though 😬
@PoisonIvys I’m a bit awkward around people. I get it.
