We recently created this set up for our plants on our balcony. We’re worried about some plants not getting enough sunlight. Any recommendations for grow lights or any better ideas? Thank you in advance!

Hello guys. I bought this Fiddle Fig Leaf plant a month ago. It is still in the nursery pot. It was fine until last week the leaves are crispy brown and one is splitting. Can you tell me what is wrong.

I put this new grow light above my plants but I turned it off just now cause they don’t seem to be doing any better I put it on 40% maybe I need to turn it down? I’m watering them like once a week is that to little? Ugh

New plant owner here, just added all my plants to Planta! Quick question, does anyone have good liquid fertilizer recommendations? I’ve never bought any and don’t know where to start. I have a few succulents, monstera, spider plant, and an orchid. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you 😊

Hello! I’m brand new to plants and was wondering if anyone could help. I just got these two plants and I was wondering what size pots are appropriate for them. The first plant is a dragon tree and the second is a corn plant, I believe. The dragon tree is 1.72 gallons and currently in the nursery pot that I bought it in. The corn plant is 1.40qts and also in the nursery pot. What sizes are appropriate for these plants? And what sort of soil? I bought indoor soil but I also heard tropical soil is good for the dragon tree. I bought two pots that they’re sort of pictured in but it looks like they’re going to be much too small. The dragon plant pot is 8.62x6.62 and the corn plant pot is 5.7x5.7x4.92. The corn plant looks closer in size tho. I appreciate any help!

I just got this automatic house plant waterer and I love it. It’s like a giant syringe and you can get in every nook when watering. It’s also very fun to use. Totally recommend if you need a new watering tool.

Hi there! This is the latest addition to my plant journey. Does anyone else use grow tents like this? What parameters do you have set for temperature and humidity? Thanks in advance!

Has anybody tried this grow light with a plant specific app? If so, I would like your input.

Let’s talk fans and humidifiers! Can I use a ceiling fan? If so how often should I run it to help my plants? If I shouldn’t use a ceiling fan, please send recommendations! Also need recommendations for humidifiers! 😊 Thanks! 🌱✨

Hey y’all! Complete newb here with zero knowledge of plants. I bought my first 4 plants yesterday. I was too excited ordering my plant supplies on Amazon last night. I’d love if someone can let me know if there’s any supplies I’m missing? My Amazon Plant Care Kit: • Sticky yellow gnat traps (small size) • Neem oil spray • Insecticidal soap • Watering can • Long-spout squeeze bottle for precision watering • Moisture meter (digital not required, but I got one) • Humidity gauge/thermometer (I got 3 for different rooms) • Micro-tip pruning scissors • Plant-cleaning microfiber cloths • Soil scoops • Peroxide for pest prevention • Clear cups for isolating/observing plants • Clear nursery pots • Catch trays for bottom-watering • Hydrogen peroxide (for sterilizing and fungus gnat prevention) 🌿 My Growing Little Plant Family 🌿 Just brought home my very first four plants ever, and I’m obsessed already ✨ • Dracaena Compacta • Monstera deliciosa • Homalomena (Emerald Gem) • Maranta leuconeura (prayer plant clipping ✨)

Good morning plantie people! I have been seeing a lot of people using clear plastic pots lately. Can anyone let me know what the pros and cons are? Photo for attention.

Well, I broke down and added a humidifier. I’m usually around 45% and everyone was doing well, but I know higher would be better. I just didn’t want to add buying distilled water and constant monitoring to my routine 😂 Oh well, anything for the babies, right?

Fluval stratum: the dippin dots of soil? 🤔

Even a broken pot makes good use for a young spider plant!

Do grow lights need to be above the plants or can they be behind the plants?

Have any favorite lamps to add grow light bulbs to? Looking for floor lamps or table lamps I can put on a timer. Multiple bulbs a bonus
