# Do you have any plants where your experience differs from care…

Do you have any plants where your experience differs from care information or advice you read / heard? Thats the case for my Dischidia ovata ‘one stripe’! I had heard that this plant should only be watered when completely dry and the leaves are soft. When I gave it this care, it grew slowly and always with wonky or burned leaves. Now, I water when about 1/2 dry. By not letting this plant dry out, I’ve been rewarded with much quicker growth and nicer, larger leaves! \*keep in mind I have this plant in a very chunky mix, the top 1/3 of the root system has very little soil, mostly chunky perlite, orchid bark and coco husk, the bottom 2/3 of the mix is still chunky, but also moisture retaining with soil. The smallest photo is when I got it one year ago, then the photo with a lil plant on the trellis was six months ago when I still was letting it dry out too much, and now look how much it’s grown with proper care! Share your experiences!

I feel this way about Orchids! I have never had much luck with them following the directions everyone gives about how to water and care for them. A couple years ago I removed all my orchids from potting medium and bought leca but instead of potting the roots in it I set the roots on top of it. I keep water in the leca to keep humidity levels up but not so high the roots are in contact with it. I just mist the roots every morning and they have never been healthier. And for the first time I was rewarded with new spikes and blooms this summer. All my orchids are bare root and I had to move 3 of them to larger pots this summer because their root systems are so large.

So cool! I’m glad you found a method that worked.

I was told to let marantas dry out 1/2 way before watering and they kept suffering, now I keep it moist and it’s doing super well
