What is everyone’s go to for grow lights? I have a few plants placed a little too dark and would like to add some grow lights to them but I want something reliable. I can’t seem to find any that don’t plug into the wall so would power banks be an option? Sorry if this is a repost I just haven’t seen anything posted recently in regards to grow lights. Thanks in advance 😊
Hi everyone, had this hypoestes for a few months now and this tends to happen every now and then, the yellowing of the leaves i would assume either too much water to too much sun, but i always let it dry out between water and the sun really hasn’t been bad at the minute, and if it were to be too hot i take them out the window, all I’ve been doing is chopping the leaves once they fully turn yellow, any advice?
This is my second pilea, last one i definitely drowned lol so watching the watering with this one. Leaves are very droopy and makes me wonder if im not watering enough. looks SAD. Also there is some curling to some leaves. Some stems are red, new leaf growth is red… whats that about ? Any tips/opinions would be appreciated!
Does anyone have any tips for keeping your plants alive while on a trip? I’m going on a 10 day vacation soon and I don’t want my plants to die while I’m gone
Is this a fungus on top of the soil of my ficus? The app didn’t detect any issues with the plant’s health based on pictures but I’m a little concerned.
My snake plant is not doing well at all. Leaves keep coming out a little wet and a little dry. What should I do? Any tips?
Hello can someone please remind me how you use the apps light meter? Thank you.🤍🪴
Yall how do I turn off the reminders for specific plants? I made a wishlist and I don’t need watering reminders for them
Does anyone know what could be causing this damage on leaves? I noticed little black pests flying around and in the soil, none on the actual leaves, I can’t tell if it’s thrips or fungal gnats. But the soil isn’t moist, and I have it isolated from my other plants.
hey yall! planta has suggested that i move a couple of my plants (bearded iris and echeveria) out from the shade of my terrace into the sun of the backyard (it says the light level is too low) these plants aren’t dying, but also aren’t exactly thriving. only thing is, we live in texas where it is well over 100° right now, plus humidity through the roof. i don’t want to burn the plants— should i purchase a grow light and keep them indoors (and out of the heat) or should i just keep them outside? i’ve had them outside for a day and they don’t seem to be wilting, but it’s only been a day. i am also super new to planta and haven’t quite built up that trust. any advice?
Does anything else think Planta suggests watering plants way too often? Also apologies if this has been discussed to death before. I signed up for Planta about a year ago because I wanted to get into taking care of houseplants but didn’t feel comfortable and confident so the auto watering schedule was a huge selling point. I now have almost 40 thriving plants! Overall it’s been wonderful and it was Planta that gave me the confidence. But recently I’ve noticed that most of the plants that it tells me to water still have very moist soil when read with a soil moisture meter (I mostly bottom water my plants to avoid gnats). I input all the information into the app, the distance from the window, pot size, growing medium, everything. Anyways, now when it tells me to water I’ll take a moisture reading and if it’s still moist I’ll skip until next time. Sometimes I’ll skip multiple times in a row and all those plants are still doing fine great which suggests that Planta is telling me to water way too frequently. Anyone else noticing this?
Never seen this before!
New plant alert. Am I doing to much already? Should I put a pebble tray?🤍🪴
Is the little white spots normal on this plant?
i decided to attempt to propagate some pieces. should i cover them to keep in humidity or just leave them be. any tips would be great! TIA! 🌱
Why is this really long branch turning orange? Is it getting too much light? Not enough light?
This should go in the niche Lithops group, but I want to call attention to everyone who might see a soggy Lithops in a shop. I passed on a bunch, recently, due to them being placed under a dripping roof. However, I was compelled to grab these due to colors and patterns I don’t have. I did see a mite, squished it, hurried home and sprayed with Insecticidal Super Soap, watched the whole thing (two bunches here) fall apart in my hand. The roots are not good. Anyway, please locate an employee and mention something like, “You know, you don’t water these twice a week.” Or, “Does anyone here know what this is?” Or even, “Home Depot has this better figured out than you, a boutique shop.” “Your cactus are always soaked and dying, so please remove the word ‘cactus’ from the store title.” I am debating an experiment in cutting the bottom rot to see if they still grow or just give up. I’m always up for a challenge!
New to plants … I have some succulents and plants I have placed in my office at work. It has no windows so I put up some grow lights. I also leave my office light (LED) on all the time. Do I need to ration the lighting with timers or am I fine to continue what I am doing?
Help!!! I seem to have little gnats that hang around my plant soil. The humidity level in my apartment tends to keep my soils damp which I haven’t been able to control. Is there a trick to get rid of the gnats that hang around? They aren’t in abundance and they don’t bother me, I just don’t want it to be bothersome to others when I have people over. Any tips, cures or remedies?
Great recycling idea 💡😍
