Sansevieria | Converting New Plants to Semi-Hydro + 1 Month Update | Rot & Propagating

Hi everyone, it's Annabel, welcome back to my channel! Today we are unboxing some new Sansevieria, which I will then convert to Semi-Hydroponics, a growing method that is a form of passive hydroponics, and discuss how I do this. I will give some background on how I grow and who I am as a grower, since this is my first 'house plant' video. So this is also an overview on houseplants in semi-hydro, from the perspective of an experienced inorganic media grower and Orchid Addict 🙂

I also discuss a new fertiliser I added into this order, Pokon for Houseplants, and why I actually won't be using it. We will talk a little about what I think makes a good fertiliser- for constantly moist inorganic setups, at least. During this video we are going to fast-forward to see how the Sansevieria are doing, 1 month after the unboxing and transition to Semi-hydro. I will show you their location and environment during the transition, and my thoughts in general in Semi-hydro. I hope this is useful!
