Tips for beginners? (AKA me)

It’s winter in my area and this season I decided to start some seeds indoors so that I can keep my gardening hobby overwinter and also to save some $$$ by not going to the nursery in the spring…

What’s something you wish you knew sooner, or something that helped you succeed with seedlings and beyond?

So far my top thing learned is: it’s easy to overwater indoors. Take it easy and check the soil before going ham with the watering can.

When to cut basil?

This is my first time growing from seeds. I want to make more of a stable bush that I can grow moderately large. At what point should I start cutting it to start splitting off?

Possible infestation in new FLF

I got a 7 feet tall FLF on sale for 60$. It looks great but its leaves keep browning a little. I saw a couple of possible mealy bugs on it on day 1 but thought it would go away after the neem oil treatment.

two leaves have shown brown spots in a week, I checked the roots today. I saw at least two large fast moving spider like bugs on roots. I sprayed neem oil on them.

Roots on side also had mild white fungus on it. What could be the problem? Is it worth keeping the plant or better to return it? I don’t want to continue tackling the problems or have the issues spread to other plants.

Not sure exactly what the issue is or how hard it would be to resolve it. Root ball comes out of the grower pot but plant is heavy so can’t take pictures.

Advice for indoor tree (4ft) to hide indoor plumbing

My finished basement is my work/geek area and I spend most of my time there. There's a sump pump under the floor but simple plumbing above the floor that forces water outside. I'd like to get an indoor tree to hide this. Maybe something that is pretty thick from top to bottom. It needs to be about 4ft tall. Ideally a live tree.

My basement is on the cool side, a little humid, with recessed lighting that is new and very bright. The attached picture is what I see from my desk and a tree to hide this would be nice.

Best growlights for variegated monstera in 2024

I would like your advice on which growlights to buy for our variegated monstera cuttings - this is the mother plant(s) when she was enjoying some sunshine in Turkey but the cuttings really need a little extra push to reach this. I would really appreciate your help! Not really concerned about price but quality - thank you for your guidance and a happy new year!

Used downed birch tree bark to make a chain for my climbers. It worked surprisingly well.

How to dry out overwatered plants???

Hi! So I've gotten advice from different forums across reddit that my plants (pothos, begonia and a dracaena (that I thought was a bamboo but apparently not)) have been overwatered. So I'm coming to ask how would I go about drying them out? Do I take them out their pots and leave them out? Would a grow light help dry them or a heating pad (as it is winter in my state)?

And I was advised to prune what's dead and wanted to know does that include roots as well? I can add pictures of them for reference but I don't want to cut off anything that doesn't need to be cut yknow

Is it safe for a person to be regularly near a grow light?

TL;DR: Is it safe for a person to be regularly within the vicinity (around one meter away) of grow lights without direct exposure?

How far should a person within the vicinity of a grow light be from it? I've heard before that grow lights tend to be harmful for the eyes and for the skin, which is kind of a worry of mine, since I'm new to this.

I just bought two of these Sansi 10w LEDs since I want to put them by some shelves near my window which apparently only gets about 10 foot candles worth of light since my room only has a north-facing one.

I'm wondering though, since I'm gonna have these setup in my bedroom and I'm essentially in my room most of the time, with my desk and bed set up about a meter away from it, how safe would that be for me? I won't exactly be getting direct exposure, but I will still be somewhat close to it for extended periods.

Calathea is dead? I left for a week….help!?

I left for a week for Christmas. Came back last night and it was droopy and all shriveled up. I added water with a little benzoyl peroxide (have a case of bad gnats). It’s still the same this morning even after watering it. I know calatheas are hard to keep but I’m very sad. Is it dead? I love this plant and how beautiful it is
