Hello, so I was looking for some plants to have in my room for it to be cooler. I don’t know much about plants and gardening so any suggestions and help will be well received.

Thanks

Will predatory bugs eventually dissipate after a few weeks after dealing with the problem at hand or will I have a new infestation of beneficial bugs? (obviously harmless) but none the less not ideal to have bud riddled with bugs at harvest.

Just for clarification day 1 of week 5 flower. Planning to do 8 weeks flower and 1 week flush. Hps lighting Coco 3 feeds a day run to waste setup Everything looking healthy and dense and frosty just noticed mostly around lower plants i have silvery/white spots on fan leaves ( suspected thrips )

Any help would be much appreciated 🙏 cheers

Potting up to take my new babies indoors to put on the open back bookcase I bought today just for these

I bought three different mint plants.. Tried growing mint once but I didn't work out this time I put them in soil and separate pots. I put it somewhere where the sun shows up for about three to four hours.. how can I prevent it from dying?

— I am not looking for treatment advice unless it is your own personal experience —

Has anyone here had Thrips? What did you do? Did you treat your plants? Toss them? What worked? What didn’t? Why can’t I find its dang friends??

I recently found 1 Thrips on the leaf of a plant. I spent 6 hours with a magnifying glass and a flashlight and the fact that I can’t find anymore- makes me even more upset. I have already started a treatment on all plants and have been slowly repotting and adding systemic. I also decided to be extra and I have predator mites on the way. I may have panicked..

Please share your story! I need some… light in this darkness 🪴

Took a cut from my basil plant to help the main plant grow wider, and used this cutting to hopefully make a new plant. Is the white spots a fungus infection? Not to sure.

Thanks in advance

I’m trying to save part of my grandmas plant and I have no idea what I’m doing. It’s been in water for a few months and it grew a new leaf but no roots. I’m really scared it’ll die and this is all I have left of her plant. Does anyone have any suggestions for what to do?

I recently bought this at a nursery! It is about 4ish feet tall. Our condo window faces North West.

This was purchased last week and we brought home. Originally it was closer to the window but yesterday morning I woke up and saw that one leaf had suddenly turned yellow overnight. I was wondering if maybe it got too cold, or possibly the shock of bringing it home into a new environment.

I have not watered it yet as this soil is still very wet.

I’m wondering if anyone has any suggestions on if this is a good home for this plant or if it should be moved to elsewhere.

Also! Does anyone have suggestions for cat-friendly larger plants?

Hello everyone,

I grow several types of air plants (Tillandsia). I recently bought a cheap led growing light (5W) in addition to the natural light they get.

I checked with PAR meter and got around 50-70 ppfd when the light is 5”-6” away which is generally low.

After 3-4 hours using the bulb I noticed that the upper tips of the plants turned black and it is looks like a sunburn.

How could it be that with low ppfd the plants burned? As far as I checked the minimum ppfd for Tillandsias is around 100.

Thank you.
