Wanted to share my favorite products lately⊠I have been using these about a couple months now and I JUST LOVE! They are all natural sprays, come in variety of smells now too! Since I use these on houseplants I feel so much better about spraying them in the apartment being natural and not filled with chemicalsâŠ
Below I have a pest control spray (left) - this works FAR BETTER than any other store bought or homemade spray
and a leaf wellness spray (right) - helps to keep the leaves healthy and shiny, I use with the gloves

I live in an apartment that's very dark. The only room that has some good direct sunlight is my bedroom, and (according to Planta's light meter) once I'm about one foot away from my window it's considered dark. I think it's cause, even though my bedroom has a south-facing window, it's underneath a large covered porch. So the light is sorta filtered naturally without any shades in place.
Anyways, I was wondering about cute grow lights that can cover large areas. I want to place plants throughout my bedroom, living room, and kitchen. Right now they are all clustered around my bedroom windowsill đ

Best general purpose, all encompassing, treat-and-prevent-pretty-much-EVERYTHING neem oil brand and usage routine? I have a wide variety of indoor plants and I suspect that several may or may not have certain pests/diseases ranging from fungus gnats/spider mites/scale/aphids/thrips/mealybugs/powdery mildew. (Plants include jade, croton, pothos, sage, basil, yucca tree, baby rubber plant, arrow head plant, money tree, and tomato plants growing in indoor hydroponic system)

My planters wonât drain as well as I need it to. There are 4 boxes, about 12x6x22, Iâve drilled 3 1.5â drain holes in them and put mesh circles over it. My most recent victims were overwatered, again. I followed the app schedule, would snooze after water readings but the bottoms were still too moist when they said I should water.
Iâm in Los Angeles and planting Pentas on my south facing, full sun balcony for hummingbirds and butterflies plus non-toxic for dogs.
Yesterday I dumped out the soil. no water for 3wks, the meter was at a 4 moisture even after a heat wave for 2 weeks!
Iâm wondering how I can make this work. I got the triangles to put over the holes and the triangle face up like the picture on the plant itself. I donât feel like itâll be enough. Iâm wondering if I should add a mesh bottom tray, flip it over for height above the holes, add some more triangles under the trays plus the ones in the plant. Would this give them a fighting chance? Thanks in advance đ

Hello! I recently purchased a grow light for the upcoming fall/winter months. The lights have three colour options to choose from: Blue and White, just White, and White and Red, and gives little detail on the box for what's best for what. I have some succulents under them right now and some foliage I am hoping to add under it too!
What's the best setting to have it on?

Anyone have any suggestions or have any shelves or plant shelves for indoors? I am remodeling my office and I am trying to decide on what to use for my plants.

Hi guys Iâm new to growing and exploring and I wanted to start by taking care and loving đȘŽ
My job gave me this plant almost a month ago. The first picture is when I first received her and second one is a picture from today. I donât know nothing about taking care of her and little bugs are growing on her, I tried to remove them but they come back⊠I donât take her outside I leave her inside because I donât want someone to take her or damage her. Any help would be great Iâm open to learn đ«Ą

Would a plant that needs a lot of direct sunlight be okay in a west facing window (that has a small overhang) and grow light?

Do you guys recommend propagation pods? Why or why not? Just curious on how to up my game!
