In reply to Elizabeth. Oh thanks, good to know - I’ll have to give them a go. They’ve popped up on my Instagram but with awful AI posts so I just scrolled on by.

+1 for WicR. I did an experiment with 2 identical pothos, one with the insert and one without. The one with WicR is twice the size after 6 months. Starting to use one every time I repot a plant. There are only 2 sizes but they have worked in most of my pots.

In reply to Ruth. This is really common, especially if your plant was grown from a cutting. It’s fine, just cut off any mushy roots. Put it somewhere warm and bright to rehab. I like to rehab in water so pot size isn’t an issue, but the rule of thumb is to use a pot that’s only slightly bigger than the roots. You can use your hands to fashion long straggly roots into ball shape to better judge it if you like!

what if the rot is so extensive that there is no root ball? rather, just lengthy, straggly roots. do i trim them? how do I account for the appropriate sized pot? thank you!

In reply to Andy. I wrote this back when people were paying TWO GRAND for a stick! Of monstera obliqua no less, which are now available everywhere for a tenner. Dark times.

“How much should you pay for wet sticks?

It’s entirely up to you, but I wouldn’t spend more than £40, ”

>>£40 for a piece of a stick??
