Grow light suggestions and tips? Learning very quickly that I definitely should've done more research on my grow light than the wattage and light output. My current light goes from +1050fc to 9fc within 2 feet and the timers not working (I blame planned obsolescence since its been exactly 1 day past the return date) I'm thinking of replacing her eventually with a sansi, but I want oppinions. Is there a difference between the bulbs and the puck lights? I wanna try to have around the 750fc mark because I miss my succulent empire😭

Does anyone know about well water? I don't always have rain water for my picky plants and I'm wondering how well water (straight from the ground) comparares to municipal water.

Hey guys I recently got this philo for free and noticed it had meelie bugs. Been spraying with dawn dish soap water on the leafs and stems till I get neem oil. But I’m lowkey scared it will spread to all my babies. I’m debating on leaving it outside to freeze the bugs off or cutting off all the leafs? What should I do?

my spider plant makes babies like crazy! i’ve already cut a bunch of them off to propagate, do i have to cut all of them off for proper growth? or can i just leave them until im ready to cut some more off to propagate later on?

Hey guys! Just got this new velvet calathea in just a bowl filled with water. Is it okay to keep her like this or is it mandatory that I put her in soil? New plant mom here 🌱😊

Hi everyone! I posted not too long ago about Mary Rose, asking for everyone's thoughts and prayers. I wanted to thank everyone because the very next day, we found that we were going to see her! Today we were all anxiously waiting. She showed up! She was just fine! We are so happy everything went well with her surgery. I feel as if, everyone who saw my post and thought of her, helped god lead her to safety. So thank you so much!

What can I do to help my spider plant put off more babies? She seems happy and healthy, she just puts off weak babies

Hey all! This violet is at my grandmas and my aunt is asking for any advice on what they could be doing wrong. I think it might just be dormant but want your thoughts. Here is the info I have. In the kitchen window partial sun. Water last week still damp. No fertilizer. Had flowers last time it was water but gone now. Any advice would be awesome!

Hello everyone! This is Kitty. When I bought her she already had brittle stems and had the yellow-ish color you can see below. I have been watering, misting, and fertilizing but she hasn’t gotten healthier. (I use a grow light because my room is so dark) Is there something I should do to help, or should I just wait?

Hi, my money plant is really droopy even after watering. Can I just cut the droopy stems off or is that bad?
