Always in search of the perfect vaporizer
I tried to winterize my potted begonias. I kept them dry in the garage all fall and winter. I haven’t seen any sprouts so I dug it up and nothing. They all look dead. So I bought some new ones. I will continue to baby these along to see if they eventually sprout. I had five they were so beautiful last summer. You can over water a begonia and they will get root rot. There are so many varieties to choose from. A nice plant for partial sun.

Iv been using hydrogen peroxide to combat root rot..
Im still learning when it comes to house plants..
Its not the same as growing cannabis...
I cant keep my peace lily alive for shit..
Really? I've found that's one of the easiest plants to grow. They like low or diffused light and to be kept watered. And that's about it.

Yeah see im doing all this.. it just wants to die..
I think i over watered... he did have root rot.. been treated.. hoping he recovers..
Dont have any issues with any of my other 70 odd house plants...
Wait to water until it starts to 'go down.' Not completely... but a slight 'wilt.' Then don't overwater at that time. Even if you overwater.... it's a pretty forgiving plant unless it's every time and too often. Then the leaves will turn yellow.
Is there any healthy growth on it right now? If so, clip off anything that looks yellow or dead.

Herb Gardener.....
Iv added a picture.. i will remove the yellow bits..
Thanks for the advice.. maybe we need a seperate house plant thread??
Got a new plant yesterday..
Monstera adansonii
Been buying rooted and unrooted cuttings..
Far cheaper than the full plant...
Got a pothos too
Iv got PAS
Looking at that.... it looks thirsty. But healthy otherwise.
Maybe repot it into pot thats a bit bigger. And when it starts to 'go down' like that.... water till water comes out of the drainage hole then leave it till it dries out again.
It's a forgiving plant.... my bet is it will start to thrive.

Herb Gardener.....
Yeah i think the root rot has effected its ability to absorb water... hopefully its being busy below ground making new root systems.. and will recover soon.. will keep you posted on progress....

I talk to them, show them love of course
but really, simply misting them helps tremendously.
Same here. Mine always suffer a slow death, probably because I forget to soak them regularly. They just slowly shrivel up and die.

propagate the healthy cuttings once a while, too that helps you prbly do this already Mrs. Green thumbs.
Haha! My house is indeed stuffed full of house plants; over 300 at last count and I've been gardening my whole life. But the tillandsia genus has eluded me somehow. I think it's because I tend to neglect them and they never seem to make it into the plant care routine. I applaud your wonderful success with them. They look happy and healthy!!

well shoot thank ya, however it is work, and they did almost die twice from neglect. they are not like spaths, set it forget it in low light so to speak, more on the higher maintenance side, The Sheflera's are next, they are getting huge! you want a cutting? lol.
So you don't soak them occasionally?I talk to them, show them love of course
but really, simply misting them helps tremendously.
Haha! I don't have any Schefleras in this house at the moment but I do have a close second; here is my variegated Japanese aralia.
And a Brazil Pothos that I started from cuttings.
