New things!
I just got myself these two bad boys for Christmas and the girl I got them from has them βpottedβ in a way Iβve personally never seen or dealt with before.
Anyone else use this? Any tips?

My normal is just rooting hormone perlite and leca but I know alot of people love stratum @TattedHibiscus
I love using stratum to root in. It is super well draining but the medium itself also has tons of nutrients that help your plant get off to a great start.
The way yours are setup that perlite is acting like a reservoir for your water. When you add water don't go above thr perlite. The stratum will pull water up from there whenever it needs.

@skyhighsplants how often do you have to change the water in the big bowl? Do you use certain water? Spring water or anything like that?
@Propa thatβs pretty sweet!! Iβve never seen the stratum before so Iβm very interested to see how it goes! How often do you change the water or the medium?
@tmbryant37 ok cool! All she told me was fill the bowls with water to the top ish of the perlite, but not much else. How long can you leave them in there?
@TattedHibiscus Iβve had some in the medium for probably 3-4 months, I put some shingle plant cuttings and Hoya rope cuttings in there in parfait cups with dome lids, perfect little humidity container. Donβt have to water as often and they love it! And the cuttings in regular soil have yet to grow any roots of the same type of plants π€¦ββοΈ
I never change it and just use filtered water from my sink π
@TattedHibiscus
Also like Leca or perlite you can actually use stratum as a permanent medium to grow inππ±π₯

@skyhighsplants since these are trailing guys, would I have an issue sticking a moss pole/trellis into it? If it works well Iβd like to keep the same medium!
They can stay in the stratum for as long as you want, but I'd leave them until they're ready to pot up.
Technically you could use the stratum as a permanent medium, but that would require you to change it out every so often, and it's tough to figure out fertilizer as such, so I only use it to root in.

@AstroMind Iβm so excited for them to grow! π₯°
