I made a happy spider planter for my spider plant, inspired by this community!

First, huge shoutout to @restingboredface@sh.itjust.works for the inspiration! You gave me some great ideas, but the spider was perfect because my spider plant had a runner that needed to get planted. ... read full post

TONIGHT WE FEAST! (tiny cherimoya fruit)
Last year I managed to fertilize a single flower on my cherimoya tree, which is a bit difficult as the flowers are female in the morning and turn male in the evening. This year I will hopefully be able to have the tree in a south-facing window. So I'm hoping for proper fruiting next year. ... read full post

I have to "water" this bottle Tradescantia like once a month or so, but rotate that motherfucker almost daily so it gets roasted evenly :D

Need inspiration for a new planter design
Hey all. One of my hobbies is designing and 3d printing simple plant pots. I usually give the first one to my elderly neighbor because she got me into the idea years ago.
Anyone have an idea or a need for a planter I can try to design? I generally like more minimalist themes.

Adopted Plants
Hey there! Hoping for some help. I've never really owned plants, but my best friend is moving out of state and gave me 6 plants she didn't want to throw away. 4 of them are looking pretty rough. They are a ponytail palm, a monstera, a euphorbia Trigona, and mystery plant. They are all getting what I think is medium light? In my apartment, which has a north facing sliding glass door and windows, and they have all been being watered once a week. They also have been getting "miracle grow tropical house plant food" once a week, except for the euphorbia which has just been getting water. Any tips to try and save these lil guys? ... read full post

Is onion grown near a Rhododendron dangerous?
Hello everybody, I’ve just moved and the new home’s garden has onions, mint, salvia and other edible plants growing near a Rhododendron (between 50cm and 2mt away, growing in the same piece of land).
Is it safe to eat any of it? Or is it possible to “save” the salvia and rosemary by moving them to a separate pot and waiting for sometime?

My universal gnat advice: get a cape sundew, put it in a plastic tray of distilled/RO water on a sunny windowsill, finally enjoy seeing a plant covered in gnats.
That's...pretty much it. They must be kept in non-porous pots and trays (glass or plastic), water TDS must be below 50 ppm and keep water in the tray constantly. They will even bloom with gorgeous little flowers. No fertilizer ever, just bugs. ... read full post
