If you’ve ever thought you just “can’t grow plants” because you have a huge brown thumb, then I have a surprise for you….

Zamioculcas Zamiifolia, or the “ZZ plant”, is the plant for you! It’s almost like it was designed for new gardeners that tend to kill plants. It’s one of the hardiest houseplants you’ll come across, making it the perfect choice for a beginner gardener.

In this guide, we’ll take a look at the incredibly easy to care for Zamioculcas zamiifolia, more commonly referred to simply as the ZZ plant.

I touch on ZZ plant propagation as well, as you’ll probably want more of these babies in your home 🙂

I’ve gotten this question so many times that it’s about time I answer it on the channel! When growing in a Deep Water Culture (DWC) system, many people write in and ask, “Where should the bottom of my net pots be in relation to the nutrient reservoir?”

It’s a good question, and the answer is pretty simple…so watch and find out!

Sorry for the auto-focusing issues on this video! I’ll get better on the next one, I promise 🙂

The world of hydroponics can be a bit intimidating to someone new to the methods. Even the subject of growing medium can seem convoluted. Should I use floral foam? Growstones? Perlite? Oasis cubes? Coconut chips or fiber? Rockwool? Should I just go jump in a river and fish for rocks?

Before you end up shivering from a frigid dip in the nearest river, look to this guide for information on a particular growing medium that is quite popular amongst hydroponics gardeners.

Hydroton, otherwise known as:
– Lightweight expanded clay aggregate
– LECA clay
– Clay pebbles
– and many other names

Allow me a bit of your time to lay out the good, the bad, the “do’s,” and the “don’ts” of this popular growing substrate.

I was sick and tired of taking bad plant photos and time lapses, so I decided to put together a quick, cheap, and simple lightbox!

This DIY lightbox tutorial took me about 30 minutes to do and only cost $25 in materials, so it’s accessible for everyone.

You’ll need:

– Cardboard box
– Bright white posterboard
– Material to diffuse light (I used white plastic tablecloth)
– (2) Cheap desk lamps
– Scissors, tape, and plants!
