what Food for the plants???

[sedecatur]

I’m trying to figure out what to use for a slow release preferably organic general plant food (I use Schefflera arboricola and Pothos). I want to use a coco husk and sand mix that i read about in cushcameleon's blog, for the potting medium but that wont have any nutritional value for the plant. Im hoping this growing medium will cut down/stop any nats from growing and also help with the whole over watering problem caused by the mister, but im at a loss on a cham safe plant food. Dry? Liquid? type? anyone have any ideas. Thanks

Hi just use a reguar House plant liquid feed but only water the growing medium not the leaves. Some chams like my veiled munch on the leaves

Best to go with something organic like worm castings, bat guano liquid, or similar. Ensure "soil" is covered, and if the chameleon is a plant leaf eater, be cautious.
Pothos need VERY little nutrients to grow well. Quite amazing really. I have many large plants growing in jars of water, just water.
