Might just be me but does anyone else get frustrated when they see stores (specifically grocery) have a ton of Orchids but they’re ALL in ceramic pots without drainage 🥲 and I took a closer look and they don’t even have orchid soil/chips 😭 just so sad that they’re all definitely not healthy and will likely die 😭
I had been gifted one of them (couple months ago before I got planta) but after a couple days it started to rot and luckily I quickly searched what could be causing it, so my partner 3D printed me a orchid pot and I bought some orchid chips and hopefully she survives:/ but not everyone will care and look up its needs/ have Planta ;(

So I just purchased this beauty. Are they any tips for caring for her?

Happy Tuesday! Gifted plants are so sentimental. Drop a photo of a plant someone gave you 💚

Meet Reo, my Sideritis Scardica baby. She's still recovering from coming in the mail, sitting in the full sun of mom's porch. I got her from a reputable nursery and I'm hoping to cultivate her well so I can harvest her instead of buying dried leaves. This is both for money reasons and because I trust the nursery (which I know, and know how they grow and propagate their plants) more than tea sellers to be ethically sourced. I want to help this plant and grow my own for sustainability, as it is one of my favorites and is endangered in the wild.
Note: Reo is from a nursery in Florida, and was grown from other Scardica plants of the same nursery. She is completely legal to grow and ethically grown and sourced from a nursery in Winter Haven. And yes, she is still pretty wilted and leggy, but I am taking care of her and am currently nursing her back to health. Please wish her and I some luck! I am very much hoping for success because it would put my mind at ease for multiple reasons.

Reo is living on Mom's porch now to get more sun. She was wilting, but is starting to look a bit better now! Fingers crossed🤞🏻

Can someone confirm if this mysterious plant I obtained is spearpoint ivy, the app wasn’t able to recognize it but it has a few obvious ivy leaves and the rest are the “spearpoint” but just wanted other opinions 😅 I repotted her into this nice small terracotta pot.

Might be onto something here people… you don’t need the plug in light (I just buy the extra replacement traps) but they can be slid into the straps on moss poles to catch those annoying gnats!
“Zevo” is the brand if anyone was wondering

Does anyone have multiple plants in 1 pot? If so how do you track it in planta? I was so proud I arranged this myself and then realized I’m not sure how different the care plans are 🙃

Happy Monday, plant friends! What’s the first plant you checked on this morning, and why?
I checked on my variegated vanilla orchid. It had some root rot and I’m trying to re-root it 😅

Hungryroot food delivery service sends their boxes with these to keep food cold. Has anyone used this as plant food, or know anything about it (is it true? is it safe?)?
Thanks!

I’m relatively new to plant care and I’m on the high functioning side of the autism spectrum. I really find a lot about it that soothes some of my symptoms! Sensory stimulation, patience and calmness etc. I can really see getting obsessed with these plants and overloading my collection! Anybody else on the spectrum and know what I’m saying there?

What is wrong with my wandering Jew? I had 4 cuttings and this is all that’s left 🥹

Anyone have any experience with micro dosing fertilizer with each watering vs consentrated monthly or seasonal dose? How did it go?
