How do you access and use the light meter on the app. I have a Monstera that was doing amazing and now it looks all wilted. I thought it was being overwatered, but whenever I check, it’s underwater I’ve tried moving it to various places. I just don’t know what to do to make it happy.
Does anyone know which ficus this is? I received it as a gift, and all the tag says is ‘Oriental Ficus’. It looks like it might be a Benjamina that has been kept as a bonsai but in kokedama?
I noticed that my potted palm is kind of bending at the top. I don’t know if I need to support it or if that’s how it’s supposed to go.??
There’s a whole world of DIY projects and tips when it comes to gardening. Here are some of our favorites: DIY seed tape (A), seed roll (B), and homemade pots (C)! Have you tried any of these or other DIY projects? Hit or miss? 😃 🪴 ______________________________________ A: Making Your Own Seed Tape What you need: * Toilet paper * Water * Flour * Skewer * Seeds How to do it: * Cut the toilet paper in half lengthwise * Mix water and flour * Dip the skewer in the mixture and dab it onto the paper at appropriate intervals * Place one seed per dab * Let it dry * Fold in half lengthwise (so the paper covers the seeds) * Label the seed type * Plant directly in the soil when it's time and cover with a bit of soil ______________________________________ B: Making a Seed Roll What you need: * Toilet paper * Long plastic strip (you can cut out the middle of a plastic bag) * Seeds * Soil * String/rubber band/twine * Something to hold the roll upright How to do it: * Lay the plastic strip on a flat surface * Place toilet paper over the strip * Add a layer of soil (about 0.5 cm thick) * Place seeds at appropriate intervals (about 2-3 cm apart) * Roll it up * Tie it with a string or band to keep it together * Place it in a glass or cup with water at the bottom (refill as needed) ______________________________________ C: Making Your Own Pots What you need: * Rinsed containers * Soil * Seeds/plants * Optional: Nail/screw * Optional: Fire to heat the nail How to do it: * Make holes in the bottom of the containers either by heating a nail and pressing through (works on plastic) or by screwing through the bottom * Fill with soil * Water * Add seeds/plants ______________________________________ Happy planting 🪴
Hi everyone. We have a few american arbor vitae bushes outside and are looking to try and make them grow as soon as possible to provide some privacy. Does anyone have any tips or advice? Any idea on what is the best fertiliser to use? Thank advice is much appreciated!
New here so hello everyone. I'm in the UK and this is my conservatory. Glad to meet you all
AHHH 😱 I GOT MY FIRST BONSAI SPROUT!! 🌱😭 I bought it from Ace Hardware for like $30 & it’s taken 3 weeks for this magic to happen, I thought I had got bad seeds 😭 BUT HERE WE ARE!! I’m so hype, it’s crazy lol It’s a Desert Rose Bonsai
My anthurium is in a pot that is meant for a violet; it’s a self watering terracotta pot. I put my plant in this pot, because even though she’s tiny, she has a tendency to have the tips of her leaves dry out; I’m hoping this pot will prevent that. However, since I see water inside the bottom of the pot most of the time, which I did not put there, (the water leaks through the terra-cotta pot), I am worried this plant may stay too wet, and eventually might suffer from root rot. Will this pot be dangerous to my plant’s overall health? TIA!
Can anyone tell me what this yellow stuff is that’s growing at the base of my aloe? When I touch it, it’s quite hard, but it’s just sort of sitting on top of the soil. TIA!
Repotted my most-struggling planties and was all excited to do my progress pics... Aaaaaaand there's a power outage. -_-
I got a string of pearls yesterday, but I plan on getting a dog by the end of the year. Does anyone have one and just keep it on a high shelf from pets or is that too risky? I’ve just had my heart set on a string of pearls :/
does anyone know what kind of plant this is?
Can I please get some advice, what should I do??
Can I repot my Pilea peperomioides, Hoya carnosa, and Hedera helix in a soil mixture made with 80% all-purpose potting soil and 20% perlite?
Has anyone here heard of clean your ´mother in law tongue with milk? I think my grandma used to do that?!
The bottom leaf on my fiddle leaf fig have lost there shine and there is new growth on the top. Is this normal? Do the bottom leave fall of when there's new growth? Thanks for any help
Is anyone else having a water issue with the app? Mine keeps telling me to water the same plants every 2 or 3 days and not watering some at all. I have been checking every plant cause some got really dry cause I didn't realize they were being missed. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on how to fix this. Thanks
I just got this rose yesterday at a birthday party. I got 2 of them and I am really new to roses in general. I want them to last as long as posible but how? I live i Minnesota and it is March right now. The app says I should put it where it gets the most sunlight so I put it on the windowsill. Can anyone help? This is one of the roses. The other one is the same but white.
Hello my plant people! How do I fix my Lily girls and make them look better!?Should I trim the damaged leaves!? Thanks in advance! ❤️🙏🌿
can i repot my hoya while it's in bloom? it's been in this pot for over a year and a half and i can tell it needs more space. it also likes to bloom for months at a time, so i could technically wait, but I'm impatient.
