Hello everyone!
Last week I told the condition of my garden which was a little problematic. I'm really looking into the many causes of degeneration in some of my plants. As it turned out, a lot of things happened and it made some of my houseplants suffer, some of which were barely salvageable. It's in very bad condition and has been stressing me out a bit this week.

Actually there are some things that I do and have a bad impact, I misplace some of my ornamental plants. Because yesterday I changed the place of some plant pots, so that some of my plants can get rain. As you know, rain is a gift from God, including plants. Just imagine, the forest is never given fertilizer but all the plants in the forest can thrive, thanks to the rain.

But the fault, I did not control and put it back to its original position. There is one plant that is very risky if it holds too much water in the planting medium, besides I did not provide a pivoting planting medium, I completely forgot about that, so my plants eventually rotted. Root rot can cause the plant to die, this is what happened to my Mc Dowel, a plant that is very similar to gloriosum.

I found out because I wanted to change the Mc Dowel planting medium, but when I pulled the stem, it turned out that the roots were rotting and black. Fortunately, it still leaves 1 leaf and 1 shoot that wants to grow. Finally I wash it clean and give a little antiseptic. Then I soak with salt water for a few seconds and then I flush with clean water. This is so that the remaining stems and roots that can still be used can grow properly and sterile. Then I soak it with the rainwater that I have collected, trying not to drown the stems too much, only the roots are soaked. In a week I'll check if the roots can grow back and change the water to prevent moss from growing.

In addition, I have a pot of celery that I have cultivated for 4 months, the same as Mc Dowel, this celery has root rot due to the rain that always wets the planting media. For celery, I'm very confused why the roots rot, even though for 4 months it's only been placed in the shade usually, but it seems because of rain seeping from the gap of my roof tile. Really disappointed me, even though I really need this celery every time I make soup and fried rice.

One more thing, I have a type of monstera varigata plant, initially I adopted it from a monstera farmer because it has varigata stems. But, strangely, this plant does not give varigata leaves. Even the continuation stem also eliminates varigata. It's okay if you have suggestions for caring for monstera varigata, what is the right way and tips for this plant to bring out its varigata leaves again. Comment below yes!
