Can we talk soil mix? I think it’s really important. Especially if you want your plants to thrive! With spring quickly approaching Planta is sure to start recommending to repot all of your plants. 😂 And it’s the season for fungus gnats! 😩😂 The next time you repot, consider what soil mix is best for your plants. I’m an overwaterer so I prefer a chunky airy mix. (Otherwise known as an aroid mix.) Now this is more then just adding some bark to a bag of soil. The problem with that is both of these materials retain moisture. 🤔 The last thing anyone wants is fungus gnats! Personally I like to use a combination of bark, coco chips and or coconut husks along with some CHUNKY perlite, CHUNKY horticulture charcoal and even some limestone. It should be airy and fast draining. Trust me, I was once that plant parent that thought unamended bag soil was good enough. 🤫 But honestly their soil mix is nothing like what the plant would be getting in its natural environment. 👎🏽 In it’s natural environment there’d be a mixture of soil, bark, tree branches and even rock! (Depending on the plant of course) If you are an overwaterer like me or having a hard time with pests like fungus gnats that are drawn to moist soil, do yourself a favor and check out the ton of videos on YouTube on DIY soil or check out the tutorial on Plants (the one thing I’d add is horticultural charcoal 😊). I promise, your plants will thank you for it! 🪴🪴🪴 In the meantime, what type soil mix do you use? What type of amendments do you add? Do you make your own or purchase it? Attached is a picture of my chunky mix. And a picture of a mix I purchase from BWH when I don’t want to make my own. Happy planting! 😊🪴

One of my team members just gave me a cup and look at the sticker she put on it. Someone must have designed it just for me.

There are suddenly adds on this app now?! What gives?! This is a paid app. I don’t mind a market feature, but not one that has adds in my daily plant to do list. I want these adds removed. How can I opt out of this?

Hello! This is my Calathea Freddie. The first few months of having her was a breeze, she was thriving and putting out new growth constantly. Everything was healthy and she was happy. However, for some reason, a couple months ago she started to put out less growth and all the leaves would shrivel or brown. I water her when needed, mist constantly, have her on a pebble tray (she loves it, soaks up all the moisture), and she’s under a grow light. How do I prevent the leaves from browning like this?

My fairy washboard plant is rotting at the bottom, is there any way to save it? I water using planta’s schedule (about once a month) and it no longer has any good/unrotted roots.

Do you guys think I should put this baby in soil or leave it in water?

Hi! I currently have a gebera daisy plant that looks so sad, I think she is over watered but not 100% sure. I’ve added a picture if anyone knows what she needs or how I can help her I would appreciate it!!!

Hi, is there a way to have my money tree to grow on one branch? Should I trim down the other branch? Just wanna be able to continue braiding without those extra stems

Hope you all are doing well. I was wondering about grow light bulbs. Do they actually work? I was thinking of getting some to put in a bathroom with no windows, for a low light plant. Any tips are greatly appreciated

I’ve had my climbing aloe for a couple of years now, and he hasn’t grown in a really long time. Any suggestions? Think maybe it’s the soil, light..?

does anyone know what i can do to help my schefflera feel better?? I am guessing it’s overwatered, should i prune the yellowing leaves? I’ve been watering it when the soil is mostly dry, does anyone have tips for how moist the soil should be when i water? thank u :))

Hi all, does anyone have an idea of what this plant is? I inherited from an ex-housemate, and google reverse image search suggested it was a citrus (reaffirmed by my green fingered boyfriend). However, as it’s been thriving and growing, these thorn-like things have appeared (see second photo) which has baffled us. It doesn’t look like a rose… any thoughts? Thanks!
