Is it more important to have my grow lights timed to turn on at sunrise or turn off at sunset.I’m asking because here in the Midwest there’s no longer 12 hours of sunlight during the day. My grow lights timers choices are 6-12-24 hours. Thanks
Hi there my plant is getting long. If I take the long strand and place it in the soil will it propagate?
Hey guys!! I recently got rid of my monstera (decided my apartment didn't have enough light and I can't afford a nice frow light set up) and I have this rinky dinky lil grow light just laying around from it. I put it on my philo, will this set up even work? I wanted to put it on my climbing golden pothos but I don't have an outlet in that window. This philo pictured here is hanging in the window sill with slightly less light. Will putting the grow light above it as well help with anything?
Any tips for water drainage on a boho-style macrame hung plant that has a built in (but TINY) catch dish attached to the bottom? My poor nerve plant is wilting away because I've been unsure of how to approach the issue without causing a big old mess of water and dirty macrame. I did water it today (bone dry) and it was a mess. Hopefully not too far gone but the issue of the hanging pots like this is definitely making me second guess these hangers.
Can this ginseng ficus be saved? Been neglected for a while and the leaves are falling off. Any advice?
Alright yall it is time to finally plant my overdue propos! I’m very excited however a little bit hesitant to get started. These are Philodendron Basil propagations, and they have been thriving for quite a while. I haven’t had overly a lot of time to plant them yet (busy schedule and whatnot) and they’ve been pretty content but I’m going to finally get to potting them. Now, I’ve done a little research, and from what it sounds like a mix of Orchid Bark and all perpous potting soil sounds about right? If not, what would you recommend? Also, with the pot size, I have a couple small pots and a couple larger pots. I was gunna start with the smaller pots, and from the looks of it they range between 4 and a half inches to 2 and a half. Which would be best to start out with? Or any measurements in between? I’m kind of nervous since it’s my first time planting my propos, and I’ve gotten really attached to these guys and really wanna keep them alive and do this stuff right. *note, I took this photo at night so I had to take it into my bathroom to see lol. My plant is growing in light I promise!!*
Should I repot my Imperial Green that had a very prosperous spring and summer? Or is she ok in that pot until spring?
Hello plant pros! As it's autumn in the northern hemisphere, I need some tips. Details: -I live in North America -It gets REALLY cold beginning in about November -It's decently dark nearly every day So my questions are: -Should I stop feeding my plants? When? -is this a good time to repot? Bigger? Smaller? -How can I keep them alive? In winter I don't expect thriving and actively growing. Thanks in advance!

🌱 Plant question 🌱 I’ve got myself a moisture meter to check the soil moisture levels of my plants… It’s telling me that all of my plants are dry — which has left me wondering whether I should be watering based on what the meter is saying, or whether I should just stick to my Planta app, which keeps track of when I last watered each plant 🪴 What do you guys use? 👀 Would you trust the moisture meter, or go by the Planta app? And if you use a moisture meter, do you find them accurate? 🌿💧 Let me know because I don’t want to accidentally love my plants to death with too much water! 😂
What should I do about this?

Hey, so I have a grow light station for most of my plant babies and it works great but it’s not able to be synced to the sunset and the sunrise or have a timer so it’s ends up being on all day everyday. I’m wondering if this is bad for my plants and or if you have any ideas that would be great too Thank youuu🙏🙏🪴🥲
Is there a way to tell planta you’ve repotted your plants or just change the setting?
