A better question might be: would it be better suited for a “houseplant” community, since this is more gardening and general nature inspired?

    Fuck yeah, let’s go!

    On another note: do you have some sort of irrigation system set up, or are you watering manually?

        Not the OP, but I water weekly (I picked Sunday) and you get on board or die. (No one has died.)

          I love that! This is what I’ve been doing, except I don’t stick to one day a week but rather water quite… erratically. Take it or leave it, plant.

        We have a lot more plants than OP (over 400), and my partner swears by the Planta app. A lot of our’s are outside, so in the summer it would be so much more work if we didn’t have something to track them.

          Oh wow! We have 47 plants right now and that seemed like a lot. I see we were wrong, ha! I also use an app, however I find myself watering outside the schedule all the time… kind of as needed. Need to stick to the schedule more, I imagine it will make it easier.

            Oh, this is by no means a normal number of plants. Our back yard is very jungle like. The previous people that lived here planted pretty much all of our outdoor plants.

          I’m in awe

          But YES!!! the planta app is amazing! It’s definitely not to be listened to 100% of the time when it comes to watering, but it is an absolute plant bible!

      No, they’re all done manually. Irrigation systems are mainly meant for outdoors or “true grow rooms,” I’m just a lady that has a ton of potted plants scattered throughout the house haha.
