Hahaha! That's the only subreddit I look at.r/houseplantscirclejerk, welp, there goes the rest of my day!
I went to a local small nursery specialized in indoor houseplants- a real salt of the earth local business. It was a beautiful, instagrammable sort of place. I'm not into the houseplant trend, but I am on a "nature heals" sort of kick and am trying to invest in good houseplants and take good care of them.
Selections from #plantstore/#rareplantshop/#plantshopping just for fun:All their young plants were about 7-15 dollars, and their more mature plants were mostly 25-50. Some of the older plants (think, 2 foot wide ferns, 4 foot tall palms) were already in proper ceramic or large terracotta pots and were up to 100 dollars. I ended up going home with two younger plants for 25 dollars total. They were both things you could never find at Walmart or Home Depot.
What are they spending their money on, then?I thought the prices were pretty good- but my family thought it was so unreasonable. It really depends what type of mindset you have. I guess.
I think you'll be ok if you wait to water until they're all raisin-y like what this woman does with her string of hearts:I've got a teeny little string of turtles in a pot with no drainage. They always say no drainage is a bad idea, but I just put it in a mix of 50% potting soil to 50% perlite and I haven't had any issues yet.....?
I'm be so scared of hurting the leaves.Hey, look at this thing:

I think I could cobble something together like it, but it'd be a bad choice with the light exposure and, more importantly, my cat's commitment to chaos.

That too, but man. Indoor trellis... maybe if the back of the chair were separate from the structure, so you could lean back.I'm be so scared of hurting the leaves.
Nowhere to really rest your back while sitting. I like the idea though. My take would be one of these round wicker chairs:Hey, look at this thing:

You can make soap out of it:The english ivy would probably do ok by a bright window. Not a great plant if you have pets.
YES.Finally get to be a homeowner soon and want to plant all sort of shit, is there any breeds of your run of mill veggies like tomatoes, potatoes, etc that you dont find in the store but are super good
Grocery store selection is so limited you could go to your local hardware store and find fun varieties on those big Burpee seed displays.Finally get to be a homeowner soon and want to plant all sort of shit, is there any breeds of your run of mill veggies like tomatoes, potatoes, etc that you dont find in the store but are super good
Ground cherries are my favorite fruit and not available in any stores.Finally get to be a homeowner soon and want to plant all sort of shit, is there any breeds of your run of mill veggies like tomatoes, potatoes, etc that you dont find in the store but are super good
Look Mom, I posted it again!
do any of you guys use plant identifying apps and if so what do you recommend? i have one called candide which is OK for some things but mostly claims everything is a money plant/tree. i'm too broke for that to be true. it would be nice to have one i can use for efforts to track biodiversity, would be fun to geek out.
Google Lens has worked out great for me and is free. It says your flower is a "Blue Passion Flower" and you can get another one for $13.49 at Spring Hill Nursery, lol.
I'd give you some of mine if I could.I need a responsible adult in my life because I am not it. do I have room for a dozen more plants? no. Do I have pots for a dozen more? nope.
Nice passion flower, Without doxxxxing yourself it would be helpful if we had some information about your area, such as your growing zone. I've planted, and know people who have planted heucheras, ferns, hostas, and bleeding hearts in shaded areas. The first three last most if not all of the summer, while the bleeding hearts only flower in the spring.couple of questions, with a bit of luck one day i can reciprocate with answers. i'm just headed into year two of having a garden, basically total novice.

also, any suggestions for outdoor flowers in a permanently shady spot? i planted summer bulbs there last year and they never flowered but did in sunnier spots. there are spring bulbs out there right now having a riot.
i've attached some thread tax, this came with the house so i can't claim credit but its fucking awesome and i can't wait for it to flower this year.
