It's very simple... It is pressed above out of the pot I had to when the seedling up 3 times Seramis take away.

Hello

earlier, the postman has rung and brought something to me ;-)
The bulb affects the images smaller, but nen of quite a hunk.

Yesterday I got already a bag Seramis me, 15l for 12.99 euros, involves only a pot of therefore can mans ever buy.
I have soaked the Seramis earlier then in a Düngelösung and rinsed, set I put it with EC 1.2 and a pH value of 6.0.
The PH and EC value have in the not changed to soak and then everything in the pot.
I will report back on how the Corm develops.

Love greetings
Ronny

Hello Ronny,.

EC and pH value are ok. I would rather make pH to 5.8 and titanum tolerates an EC 1.4 also loosely, depending on, How much light gets it. In the winter less is more likely

As a small tip of the Amorphophallus group in Facebook... Sphagnum helps against too fast drying of the substrate and especially the substrate surface. Just cover the surface thus.

Hello Stephen,.

This is a good idea, Thank you with the Sphagnum
I'm PH then at the next waters on 5.8 lower, I want to initially not equal to enter EC so for now the niedriegere value.

I think even with light, I will have no problems, a 400 W burner, which is limited to 250 W hangs over my plants.
The 250 W have submitted last year completely and plays everything well under it.
The only problem was the right lamp to To find the pure growth lamps (MH) don't work well, the mixed for growth and bloom are only problem the yellow light is just perfect for Amorphophallus.Das.

Love greetings

Hi,.
Why is the yellow light problem? I thought plants can start anything with yellow light?...

Hi,.

is only an optical problem under a Tgeslicht or growth lamp look more beautiful plants.

Oh, if it should be of interest to the Member 'Shreck' was right. A bulging the vessels - if it should be plastic pots -, on the other hand the granules due to its loose filling out of the pot is pressed, as the pictures hopefully clarify.

It is about two equal A.titanum, one freshly driven, the other just before the feeding. I fill Seramis usually only 0.5 1 cm below the edge of the pot. Because I take away only substrate, if it should fall out of the pot, the curvature is hopefully easy to recognize. Can a fat grumolo close

@Bernhard: I shoot after pictures of hewittii, once again driven out.

Thank you for showing that bounty. You seem really good to go in Seramis you are here so scientifically, so with pH and EC value adjustment, or rather normal with Fertigation?


What has me so in the head... They could Of course be mixed the Seramis with Sphagnum moss. So 1 part Sphagnum, 3 parts of Seramis.
A higher water absorption would mean and it is softer. Is but just an idea.

Hello Stephen,.

so far I have not really scientifically handled the whole thing. It has funktiniert and I was satisfied. I measured once or twice with Bernhard, but according to the correspondence and found some stuff, I just like to here instead. I don't know unfortunately - because I'm new - whether and how you can post links or PDF's, otherwise I would have what by the Landwirtschaftskammer NRW's Forum to my favorite fertilizer "Wuxal". I type's off time:


Manna Wuxal super

2% carbamide, 2.3% nitrate, 3.7% ammonium 8% = total nitrogen

8% phosphate

6% potassium

Metal cations chealtierte with EDTA + boric acid


Conductivity of the respective degrees of dilution (mS/cm = EC)

0, 5ml / l (0.0005%) = 0.3

1ml / l (0.001%) 0.5 =

1, 5 ml / l (0,0015%) = 0.8

2ml / l (0.002%) = 1

4 = 10ml / l (1%)

50ml / l (5%) = 18

100ml / l (10%) = 33

200 ml / l (20%) = 61

undiluted solution of fertilizer (100%) = 272


I use almost exclusively in the range of 1-2ml / l, which corresponds to an EC of 0.5-1 Wuxal and had no trouble in Amorphophallus. Since I am fortunate for me to have Very much soft, almost lime-free tap water, the pH of the finished is
Solutions on the basis of already slightly acidic reactive fertilizer, always in the range of about 6. 1 ml/l solution is, how Bernhard has already correctly "I-pasted", also a permanent casting possible, without damage to the plants.

Measurement of excess pouring water in the coasters, I noticed, that the water with an EC of 1,424 and a pH = 5.73 in the ideal range is also already acquifers as the fertilizer solution itself. I think here is the aforementioned enrichment of salts, which, however, as the measurement shows, obviously be washed out with the water. The pH-value is easily slipped in the acidic range, what has the presence and the gradual reduction or the recording of the Carbamats and of ammonium nitrate as a reason.

I not pass while on any scientific claim, especially since I made only one hand measurements, but I got all in all normal and plant-friendly values. Add the Wuxal with EDTA addition, (ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid) is überchelatiert, i.e. even in a sub-optimal pH range plants should be still well able to take corresponding ion. So also no deficiencies or similar can be identified visually. The only difference is, as you already did with the brilliant image, root growth.

And as far as the Sphagnum, so that would not be worth for me. Seramis holds such A lot water, that I shower only every 7-10 days depending on the temperature. It is already still damp enough fine roots to educate A few grain layers beneath the surface after the period. Also the idea would not liked to mix something organic in wet clay granules, because I am going back up the risk of decay so. As Bernhard has also "I-pasted", I have moved once about one-third of my soil mixture with Seramis + 10% sand + approx. 55% standard soil, what worked well has. Since I'm now but in pure clay granules and more find the result, I not so soon start using organic components.

Best regards,

Simon

Hi Simon,.

I've heard very interesting versions of Wuxal already lot of positives.
Next year it has a permanent place in my range of fertilizer

Just for completeness:
When typing the conductance data for different dilutions has I think an error crept

0, 5ml / l (0.0005%) = 0.3

1ml / l (0.001%) 0.5 =

1, 5 ml / l (0,0015%) = 0.8

2ml / l (0.002%) = 1

2 decimal places are too much - 0.5-2mlL = 0.05-0.2%

Hi, Ernst,.

there I was mathematically guess - apologise the expression - am crash and have just blindly retyped without thinking. Errors have been corrected.

Best regards,

Simon

im grateful to all for there comments on successes with potting mixes..
I think over here in USA we have a similar thing or same to seramis.. its turface..
it's a clay composite.. I don't use it as now..I don't have local source for quanities of it..
I can see the successes using it in amorph culture.. I would think more useful in small potted
amorphs..not sure how big potted titanums would do.. ???
my current potting mix i use with my amorphs is 60% pine bark, 40% pumice..
I add kelp meal, zeolite and minerals.. my amorphs seem to like it.. and i like it for the
porous substrate..I haven't had any rotting of tubers with this mix..
i'll have to get some turface.. and try it with my smaller potted amorphs..
thanks for great thoughts

Huhu,.

I just pulled my "preferred" fertilizer.
"Borena universal liquid fertilizer" which has:

7% N (1.75% 1.75% ammoniacal nitrogen Nitratsticksoff, 3.5% Carbmidstickstoff)
3% P
6% K
0.01% B
0.002% cu *.
0.02% Fe *.
0.01 MN *.
0.001% Mo
0.002% Zn *.
* at 100% chelated by EDTA

He is not so highly concentrated, compared with wuxal super, and lacks possibly some P (tubers, are you tend to be very P long-term?), for 1 l only € 1.29.

@ titanutzz : Seramis is produced by Mars Inc.! So maybe it BB´s so available in US.

@Bounty: Wuxal Super is a very good decision. Have I used often.

Stephan

Hi butter,.

Phosphorus in its compounds is almost the same in every cell, has several key functions in the energy and signal metabolism and also makes the chemical 'backbone' of any genetic information. What you probably mean is the fact that Physiology classify phosphorus as the element of lack of and a good supply of P usually with a very good training of flowers, fruits and other organs such as storage tubers goes hand in hand. Therefore, a balanced fertilizer for general use is sure useful.

@Stephan: I use Wuxal for over 10 years for everything from delicate orchids up to fertilizer-eating bananas in the garden. So far I can't complain too!

Best regards!

Hello together,
Question on the edge of care with Seramis: you used a closed container and fills a quarter with water (usual Seramis method) or a container with holes so that no water remains? Or something completely different? Thank you! Thank you.
