    Can you use peat moss instead of/with spagnom moss? I’m thinking about repotting to a bigger pot. I have mine hanging outside on my porch in a shady spot that gets shade most of day but gets some sunlight towards end of day 4-7pm. It seems to be doing well, but the only thing I’m concerned about is possibly getting fungus mites as you mentioned.

    My granddaughter Celysia of course picked the Celosia when I took her to choose her first plant. Bought it Saturday and it's looking pretty sad already on Thursday. I'm not sure there's anything I can do to save it. She told me I was really good with plants, so I should watch it for a couple days...yikes! I have it under a grow light for 8 hours in front of a south facing window. The soil was wet and is still moist. Beautiful plant but may be a little too much for us. Thank you for the video!

    I have had mine for about 3 years. During this time it grew a few inches and I repotted into a larger pot hoping it would grow more. This spring I moved it outdoors and was expecting that it would drop some leaves due to shock, but it actually loves being outside! I'm in Arizona, zone 9b and it's already in the 90's so I have it on my patio, and its growing fast. I'm about to repot once again, this time into a large pot. I did notice some of its leaves have developed holes in them. Not sure if I should clip hem of let them be.

    I have a Yucca Cane plant that has lost a lot of leaves due to drying out, yet the soil was moist. The stalks of the new growths are quite a bit smaller in width than the original. Will the stalks eventually become larger in width or will they remain thin? The leaves used to stand out vertically and now they are growing downward. Is this normal ?

    I've had one for several years and am looking to repot it at this time. When I water it (rarely) the water seems to just go right through it. It's about 8+" with very thick spines. I live in NJ with several wild animals around, mostly deer, so putting it outside is not going to work. It's in a west window so it gets plenty of light.
