Do you have the fan going 24/7 along with the humidifier going 24/7?
I just got a 2L humidifier that is on one of my shelves. I happened to get quite a few plants that need humidity and my place is usually around 30%.
I have 4 shelves are place in a diamond shape with the humidifier on the bottom. Bottom shelf is three quarters up the wall.
I hear it’s good to put a fan near by for air circulation. Now, I want to TRY to get the humidity up on all the levels of shelves and have a little air purifier fan that is blowing air up from underneath on the floor. Do you think that’s good enough? Also, should I have the fan on all the time?
The other struggle I’m noticing is if I have the fan on all the time, the humidity drops 15%-18% (on the left shelf)
The shelves are places in a corner so they don’t get much circulation to begin with and I can really place my plants elsewhere due to my cats.
This stuff doesn’t really matter: I have a SW facing window that they’re next to but I’m not sure if they get enough light. I put grow lights in the lamp that they’re next to but I’m trying not to use it to see if they’re fine with natural light for now.
I need help finding what kind of soil i can use to repot my plant, preferably pre-mixed. Would well draining be good? Or?
Kind of soft on that last name. I’m looking to add greenery to my space and instead of buying fake plants I decided to go the real route.
So far I have Al the petite succulent, (from aldis), Vera the aloe Vera plant, and Nala the leopard lily (dumb cane sounds mean).
So what do I do now? I really kind of did this on a spur of the moment, but I wanna learn!
Is this dyed at the store or is this a real color
Should I keep watering like normal or give them time to recover? Or have they died? They’re kind of dry but I don’t want to overwater and cause them even more stress
Hi all! I finally set up an indoor herb terrarium, which is something I've wanted to do for years. I followed a YouTube tutorial from SerpaDesign and am starting simple with just cilantro and parsley, which we use most in our kitchen.
I skipped the partitioning for higher/lower humidity plants, but I may set up a separate higher-humidity terrarium, if this one is a big success.
I'm pretty new to gardening and am curious what else might work well in this setup! Other herbs, veggies, etc. There is a lot of unused space right now.
So my fiancée get herself a spider plant the other day and one of our cats decided it needed a hair cut. How would one go about fixing this or atleast ensuring the plant survives?
I had recently tried to start some buttercrunch lettuce in those little individual cell trays, but absolutely nothing happened (I think the seeds may have been way too old). I decided to toss a bunch of new seeds into a container like this with organic soil just to see if there would be any signs of life, and it appears there definitely is! It has been a few short days, and I'm blown away. My issue is now the following, though: how and when do I transplant these into larger pots? Does each individual stalk need its own pot, or can two or three share, since buttercrunch is quite small? Please be gentle -- I have a black thumb, not a green one, but am determined to change that!
Hi everyone! This little guy is a rescue (as in I rescued it from a family member before it ended up in the compost). And ideas what went wrong and how I can bring it back? It doesn’t look any worse than when I got it (about 3 months ago) but it certainly doesn’t look better 😬
Thanks!
Hi all! I’ve had houseplants for a while now, but I’m starting to get into really caring for them so they can live their best lives. I recently planted a ficus in indoor potting soil (from Miracle Gro) and I’m wondering if I should be starting the indoor plant food (also Miracle Gro) right away. The potting soil says it feeds for 6 months, so I don’t want to over fertilize. Any advice would be helpful!
I started collecting indoor plants 2 months ago and I know I need to feed them as spring is upon us. Do I need to buy different food for each plant? Is there a one fits all? Please help!
