I can tell you my routine and that may help. I’m pretty much following Planta for watering and fertilizing. My Panther gets lots of bright light. Several hours of morning sun and then a 12 hour medium intensity grow light. Soil dries out completely before watering. I use a very gritty succulent soil. I also use RO water. It’s like distilled. I don’t like the trailing so I trim about every two weeks to promote a more bush appearance. I think that’s it and pic is from a few days ago. Added to my collection in July I think. Has been repotted three times because it has grown so fast. Currently in 5 or 6 inch pot.
6개 좋아요I was wrong. Added in mid May and has been repotted 4 times. Originally in a 3 inch nursery pot.
좋아요 1개Your plant is very beautiful. I do have RO water because I also keep several aquariums. It seems like mine may not be getting as much sun as it needs. Can I ask what you do with all your cuttings?
0개 좋아요They are usually tossed. Have never added any to the planter. That growth is from original plant.
0개 좋아요Oh, ok. I’m thinking of trying to propagate them and wondered if you have tried it.

0개 좋아요I have used cuttings to restart mine twice. I have put them in water to grow some roots and then replant them. I have recently started rooting my spider babies in Sphagnum Moss Petals. The roots are not as fine, so I’m hoping the transition to soil will be easier. I’m getting ready to clean mine up again as there are some dried out sections. Just logged in to see what soil people were using.
