@RJG omg 😆 thank you for the mention! My little moss ball 🦠 pet is looking quite fresh! Not sure if he has any leaves, but fresh yes! 😆

@nellz4estfairyz · Answer

@RJG I’m still learning. I’m a marimo moss ball newbie!! From what I understand once a week is ideal. I used distilled water but I have heard sparkling water or dechlorinated tap water or rain water can also be used. 😃

Oh, I’m flattered! Thank you! & great job everyone! @nellz4estfairyz @grateful_68 @Chichi @SageTreeheather

Okay #GregGang, wish me luck I had a lot of help from this community in my propagation, learning of secondary roots and even soil mixing. So my monstera adansonii is now in soil. #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SoilMix #HappyPlants #MonsteraMob

@teacher12 · Answer

@GreenPurpose yay! Love the Foxfarm soil! My plants are super happy.

@Blueberrypie · Answer

@RealSimpleMama  it was actually my first amaryllis ever and it’s still blooming like two months later!! I believe I bought it from Longfield Gardens? I think!! It’s a pink and white sweet double nymph!

@shopofhorrors · Answer

@GreenPurpose @teacher12
I was wondering how good fox farm is?? So your honest opinion how do ur plants like that soil? Was thinking of trying it when i do my repotting in the spring. 
Also miracle grow is the worst. Honestly its no miracle. That company is the reason why I never tried to grow plants for most of my life, because every time I got a plant and used miracle grow, my plant would die. It took me years later, with the help of a friend to get my green thumb....

@GreenPurpose · Answer

@shopofhorrors maybe @teacher12 would be better to ask. I’ve been learning so much in recent months and potting soil mix was offered to me recently. When I looked deeper into MiracleGro I was surprised to find out so many novice planters trashed the product. I still have a few plants recently repotted in MiracleGro. I took will be switching this spring

@GracedStrapwort · Answer

My Queen's tears just put up a new shoot!

@GracedStrapwort · Answer

BOP unfurling 2 new leaves!

@GracedStrapwort · Answer

Dwarf umbrella has lots of new sprouts!

@teacher12 · Answer

@shopofhorrors I have zero complaints about Foxfarm products. They were recommended to me by a plant enthusiast and I’ve had happy plants ever since. I will say that you have to check their website if you strictly want organic because not all of their products are organic. I have used miracle grow blended with perlite and other materials, and I know some people have good luck with it. I was shocked at how well my succulents have done with Foxfarm. Almost all of these plants have doubled in size. It’s crazy. Most of my other plants are thriving too.
