****[TLDR: What ratio/mix do you recommend for african violet based off of what I have? (Moss, Perlite, Bark, & Potting Mix)]
Hey! Iâm repotting my plants from nursery pots & want to make best ratios for them.
For African Violets it says ratio of 1:1:1 using:
-Sphagnum peat moss/coco noir
-Perlite
-Vermiculite.
The problem is that I canât spend anymore $ rn.
This is what I have:
-Potting Mix (Miracle Grow)
-Sphagnum Moss (does NOT say peatâŠ)
-Repti Bark
-Perlite
1. Is it imperative to buy vermiculite?
2. Can I just use potting mix since it has vermiculite in it?
3. Is sphagmum peat moss different than regular S.moss?
4. Is coco noir better than S.moss or a necessity in mixing soils?
5. What ratio/mix do you recommend for african violet based off of what I have?
6. *Bonus Question LOL: Best way to prop African Violet? In soil? Moss? Bark? Water?stem with leaf or half leaf? Do you let it harden off first? Do you mist it? Put it in a covered container until it roots for the humidity? Whatâs your successful method?

I need to report the aloe plant, but I just noticed this new little baby next to it! How do I report it? Do I repot them both in the same pot or keep the little one in a separate one??

been keeping my Maranta leuconeura lemon lime in the bathroom with a south window for a couple months now. Thereâs nothing wrong with her at all and sheâs always putting out new growth. However, I am thinking about putting her in a self watering wick system pot. Anything to add? (leaf I am holding got chewed by my cat)

Got a Fang plant that is struggling. It sits in a window that gets some pretty direct sunlight during the day. Got it about a year ago. Been watering it very little and following the regiment Planta recommended. Thoughts? Maybe repot?

Anyone know what's happening here? I've gone from watering every 4 days to watering every week as per the app and this has happened in the last week (I used to use a different app and changed to this one as it's Al based so adjust on weather etc
