I have a big self-watering pot (the kind with a reservoir below). My last plant didn't make it in there, but it may have been for other reasons. Any tips on using them?

Hey all! So I was watering my aloe Vera today in its nursery pot (which is in a cache pot for catching drainage) and realized that a root was growing out the bottom of the nursery pot! I just got it about two weeks ago and was wondering if I should keep it in its original pot for longer to acclimate or if repotting it would be healthier for the plant long term?

Hello! I am going away for 2 weeks next month and am already worried about how some of my plants will be okay haha. I have nobody in my area who could come water them for me so Im looking for another solution. Has anyone had any experience with machines like this?? Its an "automatic drip irrigation kit". Or have any other recommendations?

Hi folks. First time poster. I’m wondering, is it feasible to fertilise a plant that is in a pot without drainage holes? There are stones below the soil to create some space, but obviously that just isn’t the same. My current process for fertilising is a bit messy and makeshift, and I’m not convinced the plant is getting all the fertiliser. Cheers.

I'm following Planta's watering schedule for a pair of poinsettias but it feels off. One of the two Plants is dying and soil is still very wet, planta wants me to keep watering. Using the light monitor, it said I had partial sun, but light monitor seems to just be directional and not take direct / indirect into account or look at the actual light quality. Maybe it's not getting as much light as Planta thinks? Other thing could be soil type, which I don't know. Any thoughts?

can anyone help me?? my jade plant is balding and i’m not sure why! i fertilize almost monthly sometimes i forget and im a little late ( which is why i got this app lol ) also tried coffee grounds on top as a little extra fertilizer..

Just want people’s input, Dr. Planta says he is underwatered, and every particle of soil in this plant is dry. Just a “yes probably” will help a ton. Thanks all!

just got my first few plants. can anyone recommend how to find the right fertilizer and soil for each plant - or a basic good fertilizer? side note, is fertilizer even necessary? planta says yes but I am unsure.

Help! I was watering my air plant by soaking it in water and completely forgot about it. It’s been over a day and I just remembered about it! It still looks healthy, but I am worried it’s going to rot. Any advice?

Does this seem like a good spot for these? It gets indirect light for majority of the day except the morning time. I had to move everyone out of my cats reach so I’m hoping this is good!

I am about to move houses and I am worried about my plants being shocked by the sudden change. Any advice on both moving plants and acclimating them to a new environment would be greatly appreciated!

Hey everyone. So i recently purchased a plant. When i got it in its nursery pot, its roots were already squeezing out. I’m going to repot it but i noticed that the leaves are not pointing down. Could it be because it needs to be repotted. I haven’t overwatered so I hope its because it needs to be repotted. Any advice would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hello succulent lovers! I’m new to succulents though I’m a plant parent. But I hear they require a whole different level of care and they are easy to take care off? But I just got these Ghost succulents from a nursery, I’ve put them on a high shelf where they will get the most amount of sunlight. Online it says wait till the leaves start to curl before watering again but any additional advice would be very helpful! Thank you 🙏🏻

Anyone know how to give a plant more humidity without using a humidifier. I can’t use one because of a medical condition and the worry of mold build up. I heard misting is ineffective and can cause more harm than good. Any advice?

I’ve been seeing a trend of people on social media do “bottom watering”. I was wondering if anyone here has done this and if so if you prefer this method of watering or if you only do it for certain plants. And I’m adding a picture of my African violet just for fun 😊
