Oh! Em! Gheeeee! Ignored my plants mostly yesterday to clean and reorganize their space and do a tank water change… piddling today and saw so much new growth after spritzing everyone with the new water formula and I woke up to TONS of growth everywhere!!!! 😍😍😍here’s just pics of the orchids alone… (more in comments)
They are really pushing out their new leaves and new buds and my minis are opening up their buds😍😍😍 Oh how I love happy plants🥰

New water formula?
2 likes 😅 yeah I make my own plant water now. No more tap. I have two five gallon buckets for my tank… a clean and a dirty. Old water gets drained into the dirty bucket. Dirty bucket has a mosquito dunk at all times soaking in there. I add my preventative pesticide on a low dose scale (had fungus gnat issues from a batch of soil medium🤦♀️). Then a capful of iron and a cap of potassium. A couple cinnamon sticks (antifungal properties), and plant food. It gets to steep in the bucket with the lid on it and I only see two or three gnats left. So much growth this morning on everything.
