A better question might be: would it be better suited for a “houseplant” community, since this is more gardening and general nature inspired?
That sounds great! Maybe have a name for the series so that people know to look for your other posts.
Incidentally though, if there is a houseplant community please let me know. I got a bonsai for my birthday and I really don’t want to kill it
Quick FYI… most bonsai need to stay outside 365 days a year. They’re not plants. They are literally trees.
Can Bonsai survive in cold dry climates like Canada’s? Maybe that’s a stupid question to ask about a tree.
Certain varieties certainly can. Some people will take trees out of their pot and put them in the ground over Winter. Some put the whole pot in the ground.
Not a stupid question. Small pots will freeze much harder than a tree in soil. You need to be more careful, especially with trees that are not as cold tolerant.
It’s a ficus ginseng and the labels say it’s fine for indoor use, so bit confused now. It’s quite small at the moment and is doing well on my kitchen windowcill, hopefully it stays that way as I don’t have a garden
I’d be interested in that!
one post a day is definitely fine here, especially with some information for each–we get plenty of posts here, and i’m sure a lot of people would find it quite nice :)
Great! I was wondering if it would be better for a houseplants category but I think I’d just be happy to share what facts I accumulated over time lol.
I’ll be looking forward to learning your facts!
I would love this :)
Me too. I know the names of very few houseplants. Right now, several are just named Robert…
I have one in particular that I love and have no idea what it’s called. It’s a cutting from a botanical collection.
Do you have a photo of it? Maybe I can help identify it for you :)
That sounds fun! I was actually thinking about doing something similar, but only about a few ones I think are special. Would love to see it.
Edit: what I mean is, I think it’d be interesting content, not that I’m in any way trying to “compete”!
Haha, I think all house plant enthusiasts would love to share the information :) we all obsess over them so more knowledge is always welcome. Do it!
Please do this, I’m still negotiating with my house plants.
Who’s winning? 😅
Definitely not me, but I like to think that we are both losing to my incompetence.
I’d love to see your houseplants and to learn about them!
I’m intimidated to start with houseplants but would likely use this as a push to do so. Please do share
Fuck yeah, let’s go!
On another note: do you have some sort of irrigation system set up, or are you watering manually?
I always seem to overwater, so I’d love on-site on how OP manages watering.
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.
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!
A lot of it came from the previous person that lived here, but yeah, our yard is a bit of a jungle.
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.
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.
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.
I’d also like to know this.
This would be really cool!
I vote yes
I would love to have more information on plantcare!
Sounds like great contents!
go for it!
