Do you want to see the roots out the bottom or not?

I am seeing the video but not hearing the presentation. Please guide me.

Check volume on your phone...computer.

Thanks, Diane, I'll help you in a side-chat...

The same thing happened to me. The unmute button worked for me.

Thank you.

LOL!

I left and came back and all is fine. Thank you:)

How do I flush out salts from soil? Do you mean just replace the soil?

I want to see your houseplants!!!

Great question, Joanne - I believe John will tackle salt problems in later slides. :)

great ideas!!! moving my plants around right now! haha

Not enough sun/window light. Are some "warm"overhead lights helpful.

Thanks, Alice! I'll add your question for the end. :)

What about "potting soil" for the houseplants that go outdoors in the summer? Is potting mix still the better option?

THanks!

Does potting mix work for African violets?

what about eater sensors

water sensors

What about a moisture meter? So often the top of the soil is dry, but the center of the plant is wet, so I’m never sure.

what about pots that don’t have drains on the bottom

What do symptoms of chlorine poisoning etc look like?

What if water is filtered with Potassium?

Great questions, y'all! Adding them to the end. :D

Does that include water that I have already let sit for 48 hours and placed in a recycled bottled ?

Does water from cleaning a fish tank count as "fertilizing?" Should I refrain from using that to water my plants in the winter?

Thanks

Do you use purchased fish fertilizer?

What about dwarf citrus indoors? Do they want to be potted up or stay in a decent sized pot?

if you wash off the plants inside and have softened water should you flush the pot afterwards with water discussed earlier for watering?

can you address care for very large plants,. I have a 6 foot fiddle leaf plant.

what do you think about wicks in plants

how do you know if an orchid is too root-bound?

what might my palm that i bring in during the cold months need?it keeps growing, but it gets brown at the tips of the leaves. I think it has good light and soil and a good size pot.

Is African Violet "root rot" cultural or a disease and is there a cure?

what do you use for spider mites?

If yellow leaves are young leaves, what is the cause?

thanks

My large peace lily is getting brown tips as well. It’s about 16 years old and in a large pot

What about using diluted coffee in plants?
