Hi all. Kind of a beginner here but obsession is growing fast. Alarmingly fast lol. I noticed planta sends out reminders about fertilizing. I purchased a liquid fertilizer but havenât used it yet. Should you really do it every time the app says? Should I dilute it and mix with water sporadically during its normal watering cycle from spring-summer only? Are there certain types of plants youâve found shouldnât be fertilized that it says to? With the watering schedule I check soil first and then use my own discretion and do well with that part, but the fertilizer part Iâm new to. Any tips? Please and thank you from a beginner.

I have been banned from buying anymore plants from my entire family đ„č (my last plant I bought was on the 14th) I have seen so many plants I ache to buy recently, and I just want to go to the local bylands. Just posting this for emotional support đ€
I am supposed to not buy any plants for a year... Let's see how this goes... Anyone know any excuses I can use to buy more? Ones that always end up working? I am nervous I am going to have a heavy relapse if this is forced to go on for too long...
Though, I was allowed to purchase some grow lights luckily đđ«

So I know for certain types of plants they canât be fertilized, like my Venus fly trap, the minerals could kill it ect. So why when I added my Venus fly trap to Planta it suggest I fertilize it? Iâve noticed this as well with other plants. I just click âignoreâ or whatever option at the bottom but still. I feel like for beginner plant owners this could have them accidentally kill some plants :(
I also have some plants that need to be watered with filtered water, not tap water (as the minerals/chlorine) can effect the plant, and Iâve noticed Planta does not tell you this either when logging a new plant. :/ thoughts?

I just got back from a 10-day trip. I was kinda panicking with what to do with all 100+ of my plants. I had a dog sitter, but my fur children are enough of a pain in the butt. I didnât want to burden her with my leafy children too. đ
I ended up buying a pop-up greenhouse and set it up in my master bath. I grouped my plants into what absolutely needed to go into it, what could stay out with a watering bulb, what just needed a good water, and what needed minimal care (like succulents, cacti, etc.).
Clearly, my begonias went into the greenhouse. My âGeometryâ begonia had just started to bloom the prettiest pink flowers right before I left. I was bummed thinking that theyâd probably all die off while I was gone. Imagine my surprise when I got home and saw that it exploded with blooms! đđž

I recently bottom soaked my plant for the first time (after a drought đŹ irresponsible plant owner) and sheâs been looking gorgeous- her leaves and vines are perky and green and firm. However, I keep finding beads of water at the tips of her leaves. I donât mist her, and itâs not humid up here. Is she overwatered? Is this just a cool side effect of good watering? She is hanging, and most of her leaves are below the rest of the pot and her roots.
She isnât in the pot in her profile anymore, but a hanging plastic flower basket. There arenât any other âproblems,â she has new leaves and is looking better than ever. Just curious why/how this happens đ

I started bottom watering my plants after dealing with plants and have been struggling to figure out how to fertilize them. If anyone has anything to share, please let me know! I use PuriVed fertilizer for reference.

I bought this spider plant on Feb 2 and noticed two days ago some of the leaves started turning yellow so I decided to repot it and Iâm glad I did⊠this is the first time Iâve seen this in person. There was hardly any actual soil in the pot.

Does anyone have a suggestion for my dracaena? I brought it in for the winter, and the edges of all the leaves are turning brown and dry. Iâm following the schedule according to the app, but it doesnât look well. đ„č

Therapy Thursday! If you could prescribe yourself one plantâbased âtherapy taskâ today, what would it be?

Iâm curious on when you guys repot your money trees.
Iâve had mine since August 11th last year. I repotted it into fresh soil that day. Itâs doing very well. I wasnât sure when to repot it. With my other money trees I always respired too early. Should I wait till that year mark or should I do it when the soil gets bad?
Thank you!
