Stop throwing your eggshells away! 🥚🌱 Eggshells are packed with calcium, which helps support strong plant growth and can help prevent issues like blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers. One of my favorite parts of homesteading is learning how much “waste” can still serve a purpose. 1️⃣ Rinse...

If your Alocasia is suffering from root rot, here’s how I’m attempting to save mine 🪴 STEP 1 – Remove the plant If the stem feels loose, wobbly or mushy at the base, carefully remove the plant from its pot so you can inspect the damage. STEP 2 – Find the root growth points Look closely around the bottom of the stem for small bumps. These are potential points where new roots can emerge, so it’s important to preserve them. STEP 3 – Remove the rot Using a clean, sharp blade, cut away the mushy, rotten base. Remove all the affected tissue, but be careful not to cut too high and remove the healthy root growth points. STEP 4 – Let it callous Leave the cut surface to dry and callous for around 24–48 hours. You want the cut to dry out and form a protective layer before placing it into your growing medium. STEP 5 – Go corm hunting! This step is optional, but always worth checking your old soil for corms. I managed to find NINE! Hopefully, that’s nine more potential Alocasias to grow. STEP 6 – Prepare your new setup Once the cut has calloused, find a clear jar and fill it around halfway with a lava rock mix or LECA. STEP 7 – Position your plant Carefully place the Alocasia into the jar and add more growing medium around it to support and stabilise the plant. STEP 8 – Add some water Give the medium a good watering and leave a small water reservoir at the bottom of the jar. Make sure the cut base of the plant isn’t sitting directly in the water, as we don’t want to encourage more rot! STEP 9 – Find the perfect spot Place it somewhere with bright, indirect light, warmth and high humidity. Keep an eye on the moisture levels and give it time to hopefully develop a new root system. Now it’s a waiting game! Hopefully, with a little patience, we can get this Alocasia Polly back to full health. 🤞 Have you ever managed to save an Alocasia after losing all its roots? I’d love to hear how you did it! #alocasiapolly #plantcare #plantcaretips #plantsoftiktokplants #plants

🪴 THE POT YOU PUT YOUR PLANT IN MATTERS WAY MORE THAN YOU THINK! A plant in the wrong pot can become a constant battle with watering, root rot, drying out, and even temperature stress. Here’s how I choose my pots: 🏺 TERRACOTTA: Best for plants that like to dry out between waterings. It’s VERY porous, so moisture evaporates through the sides and the soil dries faster. Great for succulents, cacti, snake plants, hoyas, and other plants that hate staying wet. The downside? You’ll need to water more frequently so avoid putting anything moisture sensitive into this material!!! 🪴 PLASTIC: Holds onto moisture longer because it doesn’t breathe. This is great for plants that prefer consistently moist soil or for anyone who tends to forget to water. It’s also lightweight, inexpensive, and doesn’t heat up or cool down as quickly (except black plastic pots which conduct heat in direct sun) 🤍 CERAMIC: Glazed ceramic behaves much more like plastic because the glaze prevents water from evaporating through the pot. Unglazed ceramic is more breathable! Ceramic is also heavier, which can be a huge advantage for large plants that get top heavy! 💧 DRAINAGE I don’t care how gorgeous the pot is… if there’s no drainage hole, I don’t want my plant living in it. A decorative pot without drainage can work as a cachepot: keep your plant in a nursery pot with drainage and drop it inside. So before you buy a pot because it’s cute, ask : Does this plant like to dry out or stay moist? Does the pot have drainage? How quickly do I want the soil to dry? And is this pot going to get HOT? Because sometimes the best thing you can buy for your plant isn’t another fertilizer or fancy soil! It’s the right pot. 🪴 #planttips #howto #gardeningtiktokcontest ##gardening#garden
