Looking for plant recommendations! I'm in an apartment in zone 7a (Southern New Jersey). I can't plant things in the ground, so I want to have a cute little container garden this year. I love having plants on my porch but honestly I forget to water them and then I feel bad that they're not doing well. So! I need all your best recommendation for extremely drought tolerant plants for zone 7a that will do well in planters, especially if they are beginner friendly

Hey guys! I’m a new plant mom rediscovering my love for nurturing plants. I had ordered a bunch of them without knowing much through plantsome, mainly making sure they were non toxic as I have cats. It’s been nearly a month I think and all my plants seem to be doing well with new growth except for this one. It arrived with some cold damage and one torn leaf. I read it’s a tricky one to tend to and I’m glad it’s not dying on me yet but it’s also not looking bright or showing signs of new growth. I make sure it gets good indirect light and watered as the app suggests. Any suggestions or tips to care for this one and what it might need.
Is anyone else offended by the ads for Premium when you snap a pic of your plant and it immediately says, "Your plant doesnt look well. Dr Planta can help!" Like y'all, my plant doesn't look well bc I just pruned it nearly to the ground bc it's pruning season 😭 gimme a break! (P. S. I'm head over heels for Planta. Don't interpret this as a complaint about the app! I just wanted to know if anyone else shares this offense 😅)
Short story I find really funny, but nobody else probably does... Me to the jalapeño plant i grew outside in Florida: give me jalapeños! Jalapeño plant: 🫡 Jalapeño plant: 😂🫑 Me: 😋 JP: 😂 🫑🫑🫑🫑 Me: hold on... JP: 🤣🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑x999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999,999 Me: No wait Me: that's too many jalapeños! JP: 🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑🫑 Me: buddy, I love you, but what do you want me to do with all this, I'll be on the toilet for weeks! Me, panicking: Merry Christmas everybody, I grew these just for you! *Gives a bag of jalapeños to every person in my quite large family* Jalapeño plant, the next autumn: 🫑🫑🫑 Me: Oh shit. Poseidon: 🌀☁️🌧️🌪️ yw And so came an end to my first (and only) jalapeño plant
What do you do with all the food from your garden? Fresh-leaf tea and mint juleps will be made, but as far as the basil goes it will likely be dried or made into pesto because wow that's a lot of basil. That's okay, one Christmas all the gifts to my family were just bags of jalapeños. Nobody needs as many jalapeños as I got off that plant. I loved him, though he unfortunately got knocked down by a hurricane.
What is best light for indoor plants ! I’ve bought bright white light soft light and yesterday I bought this light that is red or blue light ! I’m so confused now !! Help !! 🪴
I Was gone out of town for three days and came back home to a lovely surprise! The unfolding of this leaf! It looked nothing like this three days ago… how exciting and how beautiful for my Big Pappa!! #BecauseHesHappy
Any suggestions for keeping indoor plants alive while I’m out of the country for 25 days? 😭👀🪴
I was gifted a potted Lilly plant: and literally the next day it started dying. Is it normal and will it come back or is it done for??? I never tried flowers before so let me know any tips or if it’s with reviving
Anyone here a mycologist? I found this mould/fungus growing on my rabbits foot fern and I'm curious to know what It is. I wanna say possibly a type of penicillium. I'm gonna get it off and repot in something better ventillated, water less, and keep the fan on in hopes I can save him. I'm worried about my boy...he's my favorite plant and one of the longest I've had so far.

So sad! Checking on my plants today and this leaf was sitting on the piano - he fell off!
Guys tomorrow is my birthday 🎉
Why is Planta schedule telling me to repot all my plants? Is there something wrong with the app?
Hi! My polka dot plant has been growing straight up, I just replanted her to a wider pot because she was getting root bound. How can I make her spread out/ more bushy? Thanks!
i’ve had my peperomia frost for a while and unfortunately, the newer leaves are all crimped. i water it once a week and the temperature in my room usually stays around 65-70. anything i can do to help my plant grow bigger, healthier leaves that aren’t crimped or cracked?
