Made a post not long ago about suggestions for bulbs and what not. Ended up buying two 25watt 30par Sansi bulbs to put in ceiling lights (recession lights with no covering) facing the mantle of my fireplace that I keep some of my plants that were lacking the most sunlight. My plants are doing great, I love these bulbs, they love these bulbs lol BUT I didn't know that they got so hot until after I made the purchase. Last night I turned my lights off and could hear the metal fixture crackling as it was cooling down. Kind of worries me, because why wouldn't it? lol Sooo... anyone else with this issue? What bulbs do you recommend that stay relatively cool, but still work? My plan is to replace these bulbs and still use them, but with an actual plant stand perhaps? I don't know what type of fixture to use these bulbs in without it burning someone or something. I wouldn't have bought them if I knew. 🤧

Hello all! I have about 10 tissues cultured plants that are now starting to out grow their dome cups I have them growing in since I got them, cleaned them, and transferred into little pots! I don’t have a grow cabinet and not near an IKEA (one day! Bc their shipping is crazy $$$) this is what I been looking at on Amazon. Any tips or advice on what to get would be amazing! Still new to all this and don’t want to kill me babies bc I made a mistake! Thank you in advance!
It’s almost 7am in Saint Louis. Do you know where your plants are? Haha pleaseeeeeee tell me someone gets it.
I know this is more of a spring/summer arrangement but my lemon tree is bursting at the seams with huge lemons, so I thought I’d give this a try until I have time to make lemoncello with them.
Happiness is working from my "jungle" office. The wall setup is still a work in progress, there's plenty of open space. Only negative is that it isn't in a tropical dream locale but the cold midwest.
Very proud of my mounted clearance mystery orchid. 7$ orchid, zero clue what the flowers will look like, free stick, so I put it on the stick 👍 plus another clearance orchid with non-mystery flowers
Hey plant peeps, just wanted to share a very quick little diy I did a couple of days ago. Basically, I had a cute plant stand I wasn’t using for anything and decided to make a simple little side table with it that doubles as a little plant display. I bought a few acrylic cake display boxes a while ago as they make the perfect reservoirs for my extra large semi-hydro plants. They all came with flat lids that I don’t really use. So I drilled some holes at the sides to secure it to the plant stand, popped my plant in, popped on a puck grow light and that’s it :) it perfectly fits my coffee cup and phone hehe
Wanted to paint and I love how it set off my plants 😍
Can anyone give me recommendations for a tripod grow light that's affordable and good quality?? Lol Also, plenty of room for recommendations for any type of grow light setups as well. :) Bulbs included! Thank you!!
hey everyone ! happy new year (: i just wanted to show off my plant set up in my bedroom 🫶🏻wishing love and prosperity for everyone
UPDATE: both new windows are in and drywall, painting and trim is done. I even got the new curtains up this past week. The plants and I are loving the beautiful natural light that these 2 new windows bring in! My living room wouldn’t be complete without my plants😍
I got a plant stripper pole for Christmas and I am SO happy about it!! Anyone else get anything good for the holidays??
It’s been a while, but so happy I found these!!🎄🤍💚❤️
I have just around 55 plants and we are working on setup this space as a garden den, greenhouse etc. what’s the best clean way to organize them. Anyone has that many plants in one space. Pictures please
Hello everybody! I am looking for new plants to add to my set up and I would love suggestions. I am quite picky and unfortunately I am down on my luck finding plants that fit my preference. I am unwilling to purchase plants that prone to pests as well as plants that are expensive. I would enjoy dark, large leaves and as well as having an other worldly appearance. I do not like the look of fenestration on anything other than a fern unfortunately. I would adore philodendron, tradescantia, and fern recommendations. Thank you for both your time and consideration!
weekend project 🪴
I wish I had thought about which plants can fit or not before summer ended 🥴
I have had this bar cart for years and have refused to part with it. I’ve used it for numerous things but have never loved it this much!
New light = Max amounts of cram to try and get more growth. Now onto trellis and stake projects.
Finally got around to putting shelves together. Temporary lighting. Waiting on lights to arrive.
