    If you let them they can get huge. You can really put it on a trellis whenever, I just put my flobe on a coco coir pole cause I’m too lazy to water a moss pole. I have some adansonii on a metal trellis and it’s thriving too

      Do you have any idea how big is huge? I love this plant, but I have a rather small home, along with a number of other plants, so I need to be thinking about what I can do with this plant if it’s going to be HUGE. TIA!

    They can get a few feet tall. But usually don't get super bushy that ive seen. Maybe like a 2' span. I gotta pole mine soon, she's flopped over

      I’d love to see a picture of yours, if possible. I have no idea what a bigger one looks like, at this point. TIA!

      The one I have right now is still a baby. If i stretched her out she'd probably be almost 1-1/2 ft. Her pots back against the window almost. She's at the top of the kitchen shelving and been being neglected đŸ«€

      Yours is beautiful, and so full! How can I encourage that kind of fullness? TIA!

      I'm not sure she's as full as she looks lol because she's flopped over. I haven't done anything except fertilize every 2-3 weeks

      What fertilizer do you use?

    Fox farm makes several fertilizers as well depending on if its a fruiting or flowering or vegetable or tree, etc. I do mix them occasionally, but Im not sure i have a rhyme or reason lol. I've definitely seen a good difference adding the call/Mag from General Hydroponics in every other water or so. As well as the kelp (foxfarm or superthrive)

      Thanks for your post, Wolfen. I wanted to ask you about the product from General Hydroponics you’re using; is it the same thing as the Armor Si I’m using, which is also from general hydroponics. I’m using this with every watering; it’s labeled as a plant growth nutrient 0-0-4. Should I not be using it this frequently? Also, just to clarify, are both the kelp from Fox farm and the Superthrive, the same type of fertilizers? Would I add any of these to my Plant Juice to give my plants a gentle push? So many questions
🙄
. TIA!

      Its different. The Armor Si is Silica. And I do use Silica every watering, I just use the TPS Silica Gold right now. The foxfarm kelp is just kelp i believe, and the SuperThrive is kelp based but mostly a vitamin solution. Since youre already doing plant juice and Silica. You could probably add a bit of the cal/mag for a boost. Even the kelp. Both add good nutrients for growth.

      Thanks so much! I REALLY do appreciate the time and trouble you take to answer all my annoying questions! (just call me your pet fungus gnat
🩟 ) I’m trying my best to catch up with the professionals, but it’s gonna be a long haul; there just doesn’t seem to be enough time in the day to catch up, and get all my plant chores done. I simply cannot imagine having the number of plants you do; how in the world do you even water all your plants without losing your mind? If at any time you’re bothered by me asking too many questions, just give me a sign, and I’ll get the hint. Again, TXS a mil’!

      Your not a bother. I'm usually watering like 40 plants a day. The app definitely helped keep it organized. It hasn't been as great with these water schedule glitches though.

      Thanks a bunch
 If I ever become a bother, you’ll know what to doâ€ŠđŸ˜±! I can’t imagine watering 40 plants a day; no wonder you’re switching to pon. Just out of curiosity, how much time does it take you to water your plants? You must have some system that helps. I’ve recently found that by filling my sink, I can put a bunch of plants in there, and let them bottom water; is this what you do? BTW, I found a YouTube video about moving plants from soil to pon; this person says you’ll have much better success, if your plants are put into water, and some added rooting hormone, like Clonex, before moving them into pon. I tried this with my golden mosaic, when I transferred her to pon, and she drooped like crazy; I guess she went into shock. I pulled her out of pon, after seeing this video, and put her into water with a little bit of rooting hormone, and the next morning she looked just fine. So maybe this might be a good idea when removing a plant from soil to prep it for pon, and maybe keep your plant from getting shocky. Have you heard of this? TIA!

    It doesn't take me that long, maybe 15-20mins. I have my water already set up and pre-treated in a 5gallon water jug. So all I need to do is dispense it into the watering can, and water each site. I haven't heard of doing that with the water before the Pon, but I dont see how it could hurt, and it sounds like it might be helping your 1 plants
