Day 148 opinion on Tevaplanter

I had this series of posts in that other platform we cannot name anymore and thought to do an update on here 😁

For those who don't know, this is a Tevaplanter, a vessel I got from a quickstarter that allows you to do some kind of hydroponic gardening. Obviously it's not suited for all types of plants, and would work best with certain epiphyte species (orchids, hoyas, ferns, etc).

There are fake tevaplanters out there (I know bc I bought one), but at least in my experience they were leaking a lot and not fitted for the purpose (it ended up in the bin).

The box came with chia seeds as starter, but I did not like them a lot as many developed and started growing mold 😅

After the first trial with chia seeds (30 days aprox) I tied some pre-rooted hoya khroniana cuttings and a hoya nummularoides still tied to the mother plant. The nummularoides died and I replaced it recently with a keiki from a phalaenopsis mini orchid. 🌺

It has been there for couple of weeks and already starting to hug the vessel so I'm quite happy. Also the hoya cuttings have a lot of roots after three months.

I hope you liked this, I may post updates on the future 🌿
