    * I need to add a note to this video about nutrient holding capacity that accidently got cut from the video and I didn't notice until it was already done and public.*
    Coco coir has excellent moisture and nutrient holding capacity. As long as the coir stays moist, the nutrients it has absorbed are readily available to be used by the plants with the exceptions of the mentioned, iron, magnesium and calcium, which sometimes can be bound up in the coconut coir.
    When I talked about fertilizing with every watering, it should be noted that I meant to fertilize in extremely dilute concentrations with each watering.
    Finally; yes I know I spelled, "dilute" incorrectly in the video. On the little editing screen the "i's" and "l's" all blend together. It's fine.

    I guess houseplant soil and regular old garden soil are a lot alike in the fact of the availability of the nutrients in the soil and whether or not a plant can access those nutrients or if their bound up by not having the proper PH. It makes sense in my head anyway. 🌺💚🙃

    My voodoo lily showed up today and I’m at a loss as to what I should do with it now. Do I plant it and mulch the heck out of it, or do I plant it in a container and bring it in for the winter? You said that they need a cold period and I’m really pushing the planting zone on it. My original thought was to plant it and keep it growing in the house through the winter. Now I’m totally confused. Maybe plant it in a container then bring it in and move it to the basement for the winter? A little help here ? JK I bought it my headache.🌺💚🙃

    With the cost of Proven winner plants I’m going to be trying to save a lot of them through the winter. I figure I can do that because I’m not going to be selling them. I’ve taken cuttings of my coleus and some impatiens so far. I need to get busy trying to root some other things too. Maybe a potato vine and some sun impatiens. I figure that I can dig up the dichondra silver falls and hopefully the four o’clocks made a tuber for me so I can save them. I know 4 o’clock s are vey easy to start from seed, but I want to try and save the tubers if I have any. I’m also going to try an experiment with my Proven winners petunias. I’m going to try and take cuttings from them and see if I can root them. I also am going to TRY and start some perennials from seed this winter🤞🏻. Oh I also want to try and save my geraniums for next year 🤞🏻. I didn’t get the grow room set up yet, I NEED to work on that otherwise the house is going to be an absolute jungle until I get it done🤣🌺💚🙃

    Okay I’m done telling you my life story, maybe! Don’t feel obligated to make any comments to my ramblings, just trying to help! 🌺💚🙃

    All my plants are dying & I think I’m over it all! I’m in a funk & there’s no light at the end of the tunnel or I’m not near the end of the tunnel

    Turbo's eyes when he wants to keep playing in the beginning of the video are sooo expressive! He's probably impossible to say no to! But he's a very good listener and a very good boy! Just love him ❤

    One of the more effective ways to deal with nutrient deficiency in coir is to use a fertilizer with chelated metals. Chelation makes the nutrients available at a much wider range of pH, up to nearly 8. There are many out there but most are chelated with EDTA, which some people are strongly opposed to. There are some that are chelated with organic acids but they have a higher cost. Plant potion #9, TPS nutrients and some others do offer non EDTA chelated metal supplements (TPS and some others offer a balanced feed with the chelated metals, plant potion #9 is chelated metals only). There are fertilizers made specifically for use with coir as well but any hydroponics specific fertilizer will typically work.

    Omg Jeff! This was excellent!! I always believed dracaena's (especially mine) to be very slow growers……… whoops 😅 I'm definitely taking what I learned from this video and applying it to my 6 long suffering dracaenas… those poor little guys!! Thank you so much for the awesome info!!
