A better question might be: would it be better suited for a “houseplant” community, since this is more gardening and general nature inspired?
That would absolutely be worthwhile of interest, one post a day is FAR from spammy
Thanks for the insight! I was worried since lemmy is still kicking off if overflowing communities would be a bother but then I guess it’s better to Kickstart things too.
Ah, that’s going to be fixed with lemmy 0.18, which has already been released, beehaw should be adding it around tuesday.
So, i’d say don’t even worry about it!
Oh yeah, I’m on .ml, I think they already did 1.8. Jeroba has finally stopped being so buggy for me. Though…I do worry some of the things being said about .ml. I’m just a take it as it comes kinda person.
It is run by self-proclaimed tankies, unfortunately. That’s why I moved to beehaw.
That’s what people have been saying, yeah. I just hope it doesn’t effect defederation for the instance, though I’m sure it eventually will with some instances. Perhaps they’ll work on a migration feature in the future, once we all get through the rocky road transition. :)
Oh, no, it’s not something people have been saying, it’s an open fact. They’ll gladly admit to it. this is a post from the lead dev:
I understand and acknowledge that now, but I’m not quite sure this is the place for that discussion. I appreciate and thank you for providing a source for review however.
one post a day is definitely fine here, especially with some information for each–we get plenty of posts here, and i’m sure a lot of people would find it quite nice :)
Great! I was wondering if it would be better for a houseplants category but I think I’d just be happy to share what facts I accumulated over time lol.
I’ll be looking forward to learning your facts!
If you have a pet try and place them subtly in the background in all photos
This should be a rule for all sfw photos on the internet
The cat tax must be paid!
Fuck yeah, let’s go!
On another note: do you have some sort of irrigation system set up, or are you watering manually?
No, they’re all done manually. Irrigation systems are mainly meant for outdoors or “true grow rooms,” I’m just a lady that has a ton of potted plants scattered throughout the house haha.
I always seem to overwater, so I’d love on-site on how OP manages watering.
Not the OP, but I water weekly (I picked Sunday) and you get on board or die. (No one has died.)
I love that! This is what I’ve been doing, except I don’t stick to one day a week but rather water quite… erratically. Take it or leave it, plant.
We have a lot more plants than OP (over 400), and my partner swears by the Planta app. A lot of our’s are outside, so in the summer it would be so much more work if we didn’t have something to track them.
I’m in awe
But YES!!! the planta app is amazing! It’s definitely not to be listened to 100% of the time when it comes to watering, but it is an absolute plant bible!
A lot of it came from the previous person that lived here, but yeah, our yard is a bit of a jungle.
Oh wow! We have 47 plants right now and that seemed like a lot. I see we were wrong, ha! I also use an app, however I find myself watering outside the schedule all the time… kind of as needed. Need to stick to the schedule more, I imagine it will make it easier.
Oh, this is by no means a normal number of plants. Our back yard is very jungle like. The previous people that lived here planted pretty much all of our outdoor plants.
I’d also like to know this.
I vote yes
I’d be interested in that!
I have over 170 house plants
How many houses do you have?
I assume they don’t have much space left for them self anymore:
It’s funny in some places you’re not far off especially with the big ones lol! But no, a lot of them are in really small pots, and I have a lot of juvenile plants, but once they grow up to adulthood I’m definitely going to need to repurpose another room…
Aw they’re so happy there among their plamps
This is amazing lmao
That person looks pot bound!
This would be really cool!
Could you also include details like what type of light and intensity does best as well as if it’s toxic for pets?
Of course!
I would like to see this to be honest. I find I am fine at keeping things alive in the ground, but indoors things die eventually.
I agree this would be appreciated.
And if people feel like its spammy, or you decide you don’t want to continue, you can always stop some time before the 170 days it up. :)
I’m intimidated to start with houseplants but would likely use this as a push to do so. Please do share
Go ahead, I would suggest adding your personal touch. Opinions, anecdotes, trivia etc. Someone with a vast collection as your probably has interesting things to add.
That’s good idea. Thank you for the recommendation :)
Please do! That’s not spammy, that’s like a daily bite sized lesson!
