Less water, more sunlight. This might be of help too:

do these collect spiders and shit

I want something green in my apartment but I don't fuck with insects

need more for the jungle experience

>>13743837
Did you make this?

>>13743930
I never understood why or how plants should attract insects.
I guess if your room is really humid, but just open a window once in a while like a regular person.
Plants can get pests, but deal with that when it happens.
>>13743946
Saved it from a interior thread long ago. It’s supposedly made by some designer and worth 10k.
Reverse image search might yield something.

Any recommendations for a low effort plant. I want to grow something but if It dies I would feel bad.

My new boys

>>13743942

Get a maranta. Love mine. Just had a lone flower sprout recently

neat, investigating them now

>>13744796
no worries just thought I recognized it. Nice plants!

>>13743748
What is this plant? I'm a complete noob and it's very nice. Would it be good for a beginner?

fucker nearly dieded 4 month ago but not on my watch. Removed like 80% of his leaves. gladly, he seems okay now.

>>13744811
As near as I can work out, this is a Jade Plant/Money Tree. It was labelled as 'Assorted Succulents' when I bought it, and I don't know enough to immediately identify it.
It's great, growing in the bathroom incredibly fast. Required the least maintenance for the most amount of growth of almost everything I have. Really good for a beginner.

Pic related is the other success, Gold Moneywort or Creeping Jenny.

Whats the one in the middle with the round leaves on long stalks?

Does anyone have experience with fiddle leaf figs?

fuck no. You couldn't make a more shitty environment for desert plants than a fish-bowl with no drainage. Anyone who has ever had success growing cacti and succulents knows better.

>>>/an/2836078

>>13745850
terrific. did you fuck it up or did it get a disease or something?

>>13745871
got bamboozled buying it.
it was only a cutting they put in a pot of dirt.
and it died in like a month or so, cause it wouldnt grow roots. saw that it was only a rootless cutting when i threw it out.
so id say watch out for that. the jew is everywhere even in your gardening center

I've always liked the Strawberry Begonia. They send out runners like a spider plant, which looks pretty cool. This isn't mine, it has yet to sprout its own.

>>13745059
Thanks anon, that one is really nice to. Hopefully I'll buy some seeds soon.

What is that ladder thing?

>>13748335
It looks like a step ladder he's attached the pots to. They sell ladder-style shelves everywhere, theyre easy to find.

thread must go on

>>13748335
it's a 'satsuma' on IKEA

>>13749603
I have more of my own plants I can post. I'm hoping to get a fiddle leaf fig tree soon, and I just picked up a bird of paradise. Anybody got experience with the bird of paradise?

>>13750432
ur plants are pretty cool but ur pots are just gorgeous

>>13750642
thanks anon, the succulents are all mostly in infancy right now, it's going to be a while before they have any kind of visual impact.

>>13750670
Cool. The vase is important as the plant if not more. White vases really makes the plant stands out

All pleb tier low maintenance stuff but I like them.

>>13750704
i might be overdoing it with the white, it just matches the colours of the lounge well. I'm planning on doing the big-plant-with-basket-vase thing soon.

Looking good, I have the same succulent hanging
Im full broke boy but my plants are nice

>>13745800
They grow very slowly. I've had mine since August and its put off 1 leaf. I'm thinking about ditching it and spending $80 (a good deal imo) at Home Depot on a 5+ ft one.

My variegated rubber trees are my best large plants. I've had them for less time and both have put off 2-3 leaves each.

>>13744009
Pothos. I left mine in a dark room and didn't water it for a month (I was on vacation) and it didn't die. Marble queen is my favorite and it's sold at almost any store that has plants.

>>13750754
>>13750755
thanks anons, they're from local hardware stores and a Kmart. They occasionally have some nice pots that come through among the trash.

>>13750767
I'm not retarded, those are just leaves in a pot right?

>>13750820
that looks really good hanging, how long have you had it? It looks like its doing really well for the size of pot it's in.
I had the chance to buy pic related in July, but $129 NZD for three in one pot didnt appeal. Dont know if that would have been a nightmare as they grew or not, but it seemed like a bad idea.

>>13743748
anon, do you see how all the branches are bending towards the lightsource? it needs to be (gradually) moved to a sunnier spot. also that's definitely not a jade plant, the leaves on the tops of the branches are rosette shaped. it could be an etoliated aeonium maybe?

>>13750837
I have for two years I think. My mum gave me a price with like 3 cm and I just sticked on the dirt and its been growing like crazy. I left in my balcony and never turned the vase, and it grew in just one side, looks good

>>13750851
What are you on about? All plants move to light source, doesn't mean it need more light

>>13750851
>definitely not a jade plant
you're absolutely right, it was the closest thing I could find on google with my limited knowledge. I saw jade plants in store the other night and they are certainly not what I have there.
Does it need to be moved? It's one of the happiest plants I have, and I have other plants that get strong sunlight all day and still move towards the light, pic related (needing a clean)

>>13750741

Looks like a Speedy Pro.

Are fake plants /fa/?

Anyone got any good auto waterers?

I sometime have to leave for a while and im sick of leaving it with this one fucking retard.

>>13751044
kitsch ad
>>13751048
How much time? You can leave on a place with indirect sun light and put inside a thightly closed transparent plastic bag, so the plant don't loose water
Works for about 2 weeks

Here are some more of my babies. My polka dot plant looks bad right now because I just did a lot of pinching on it since it wasn't looking hot, and the new leads all have the original color now. Coleus is still going strong since I gave it a new home

>>13751044
I've considered some for guest rooms but always decide against it. Solely for the disappointment of people who check to see if it's real.

>>13751815
Plants are fun, why would you do that anyway

>>13751044
I'll tell you the same thing I said last thread: plants are fun because you get to see your work pay off. They are more than just their colors and shapes. Personally, when my plants are thriving I feel better, and I feel bad when they die. You might as well just get a painting at that point, honestly

bump

What are some good plants for really lazy person? Also bonus points if they dont need much sun light.

>>13753796
Succlulents.

>>13753796
Cacti, I guess. Or most succulents. Water when the soil looks dry, other than that they just get along.

>>13753796
Succulents, spider plants

>>13754233
Oh and tillandsia (airplants)

My life's a mess but my plants are doing great

From left to right, random unknown succulent from b&q (cool if someone could identify it), Chinese plum bonsai tree, spider plant

That looks nice, best of luck growing it anon! I like the pot choice too, that will give it lots of space to hang over.

here, have a succ

Can someone plantpill me?

I 've never tried growing before but I recently redid my room and some plants would be nice. Only catch is
>Room doesn't get much sunlight because of fuckhuge trees right outside of window
>Have no idea if they'll even live during winter (probably not)

What would you guys recommend to a beginner that lives in a cold climate for 7 months out of the year and has moderate access to sunlight from his room?

Can plants help with a dusty room? My building is old so there arent any floor vents to help filter out dust and it builds up kinda fast.

>>13744836
What kind of plant is this?

>>13757352
Most plants from the sedum genus you'll be fine, just try make sure they don't get very very cold. Burro's tail, donkey's tail, the one here >>13750432, all should do okay, if they're available to you.

>>13757353
They can help by catching dust before it hits the ground. other than that no effect. If anything they will create more dust if they flower etc

succulents are based and redpilled

Got a snakeplant and a spider plant. The snakeplant is doing quite well, its grown a couple of new leaves since i've got it. I'll have to see how it handles winter though, as its currently sitting above a radiator.

Where to buy plants online in Europe? I'm too aspie to go to a shop

>>13758614
just go to a fucking store dude
i dont like that shit either but its a plant, you want to look at it and determine that its healthy and whatnot

True

>>13756334
Whatever you like bro, I dont have any so i cant say. there are some cool looking ones in local stores.

Thrn there's this giant fucking ficus my dad gave me. It's nice, but jesus it's huge. Will probs put it outside and trim it in the spring to make ot more like a bush.

This is a little project. I put some moss from the garden in there and a piece of some chinese? hanging plant to see if it'll live. No idea what I'm doing.

cute plant, what is it?

>>13765538
Bird of Paradise, still very young. Moving it to a new pot next week. very excited to have a big plant indoors.

>>13765541
You 'll need to increase the humidity around the plant as generally it's too dry for them in doors. You can do this by standing the pot in a tray of gravel and water, this will create a small micro climate. Make sure the water doesn't reach the bottom of the pot though or the roots will rot.

>>13765553
Oh cool, I didnt know this, thanks dude.The room its in gets heaps of sun but will be sitting at 40%-50% humidity over summer so I'll do that. thanks anon

>>13767227
Yeah I assumed it was, I'm not sure we have that species here as those leaves look really large and broad. You said you got that MIG helmet from ebay, how long ago was that? do you mind if I ask the price?

>>13766412

No, but now I really want one. Your place looks very nice.

>>13767275
I got it for a photo project in 2016. After scouting ebay for half a year I got one for 150€. They are a lot more conman in the US I think.

>>13757352
Sounds like our growing conditions are identical, and personally I've had success with the Zamioculcas. Been growing a couple for 2 years and they can handle everything except overwatering (for ref. I water mine every 2-2,5 months during winter, no more than once a month during summer). Also they're really easy on the eye, especially the 'Raven' variety.

>>13753796

Getting ready for them polar nights. Having a tanning salon in your living room isn't the most appealing sight, but I decided there will be no casualties this winter.

I'm really loving the pots in this thread. Finding nice-looking pots (with drainage holes? the dream) is a lot more headache-inducing than actually taking care of the plants.

Ever buy a plant from a grocery store?
How did that work out for you?

where do you guys buy your plants from?

also any way to get around having an apartment bedroom with double windows that wont open more than 4 inches

>>13776541
From the plant store.

Most houseplants don't need direct sunlight, i.e. you don't need to keep the window open for them to absorb enough light to live. You can keep them on a windowsill by a closed window and probably be fine.

>>13744009
I've heard spider plants are easy to keep and theyre pretty nice to look at.

Cacti as well and you can get many different types and plant them in different, more interesting ways

>>13770206

The kinds of people who spend 10k on a potted plant arrangement blame their house keeper when they die, and buy a new one. Of course, their house keeper will just put in new cactus before the owner notices.

I heard these calathea are difficult to care for. care tips please.

>>13782114
>Do you sit these on saucers or anything? What does the water leak out onto?

I water at the sink, or outside. I give them lots of water - until it's literally pouring out the hole. When that stops, I place them on saucers/plates/trays/whatever in front of the window and wait until the soil is mostly dry again (1-3 weeks, sometimes more).

I got this in March as a rescue from walmart. Is looks like a completely different species now

I've been buying cheap thrift vases and such myself as cheap aesthetic plant pots but I haven't had enough brain cells to glue something on the bottom to elevate it.

No idea how I should look for these.

>>13786267
They are rubber "feet" that have adhesive on them. I've seen them marketed as bumpers for cabinet doors, as well. They can also be made from felt or silicone or cork. They are commonly found in hardware stores.

Do you straight up drill the holes or are you taping over the spot you want to drill in or do it in or anything like that? I tried to drill in a pot without a hole once and it just broke. And yes I've been using appropriate drill tips.

>>13743942
Coming to your flat tonight x

>>13783322
It's just as easy as any other plant from my experience.

Water it when it's dry

Actually douse it in water till it runs out if the bottom of the pot

Sit in a place where it gets sun

>>13787084
please do

>>13784382
Nice

>>13787062
No tape. I turn it right-side-up, place it on some soft dirt so that the whole bottom is supported, and drill from the inside out. I pause often so the drill bit doesn't get crazy hot. The big orange one was a little bit harder material. For that one, I also put a water/windex mixture in the bottom to help cool and lubricate the drill bit. Be gentle, patient, and try not to push with a lot of force. I did have one heavy glass-like piece that was really hard, and I very quickly gave up on drilling that one, but mostly this pottery is soft and easy to work with.


Here's an old UPCO pot that my grandma had. It was already cracked when I drilled it.

I'm getting my first plant from a friend this weekend! It's a Jade Plant so nothing too special but I'm still excited. I'm a bit worried that it will suffer from the cold, I live in Western New York and my friend is in West Virginia where it's significantly warmer year round.
>>13781061
This is a very handsome plant, what is it?

>>13792114
Golden Pothos. They're pretty easy to grow and propagate. The more light they get, the more yellow splotches show up on them.

Jades are cool, but slow growing. Give it as much light and warmth as you can, and wait for its soil to dry out before watering it again. It's a succulent and doesn't like to stay really wet all the time.

Mine has fingerprints on it. He'll never be the same again ...

>>13743555
Your string of pearls has plenty of new growth. Just be patient, keep doing what you’re doing and be sure not to over or under water it. If you keep doing what you’re doing, come spring that things gonna explode. You can also use fertilizer once every 2 months or so if you think it’s lacking nutrients. Like I said tho I would just keep the course bc from that picture it looks like it’s doing just fine.

>>13748419

Great job, this is going to look really nice once the moss starts growing over everything.

I love the plant climbing up the picture frame. Very comfy, anon.

Can absolutely not live indoors. It will wither and die. Pines absolutely need a cold and dark period to stay alive.

Constant approval seeking fag
You post this pic on different boards for a year already, how much more praise do you need? Kill yourself

Norfolk pines aren't true pines. They are from tropical islands near Australia. They'll survive inside as long as it isn't really dry in the winter and won't survive temperatures under 35f

There's a couple tropical conifers related to the norfolk pine. Ideally you would want it under a skylight or next to large windows. replant it yearly as it grows kind of fast since its a tree and needs room to grow with fresh soil.

Any recommendations for ivy species? Preferably something that won't die in relatively cold temps.

>>13755625

F sorry buddy, gotta let the soil dry out or wait for it to start showing signs it needs watering. a learning experience.

what light fixture are these and are they absolutely necessary or can you leave the jar in direct sunlight

My jade plant has arrived. It's a bit squished from the drive but I'm not too worried about that. I just plopped it on my desk in a saucer for now while I wait for the soil to dry so I can repot it.

Oxalis aka purple shamrock. there are green varieties too. at night, the leaves fold down like pic related

mint is impossible to keep healthy inside
but you're definitely retarded if you let an outside mint die, that's virtually impossible outside of any desert.

So I have one of these fuckers, but its looking pruny and slightly shriveled? It sits on the windowsill of a frosted window, so im sure it gets plenty of sunlight without being exposed to the blistering sun and I give it about a tablespoon of water once a week. The pot does have proper drainage, but I cant figure out what the problem is as I dont have any issues with my other plants.

That's crassula gollum isnt it? I bought one over a week ago and full sunlight has netted almost zero growth. I imagine it's just a very slow grower, it looks healthy to me.

What are signs it needs watering?

>>13802169
When the soil is dry, the plant loses the deeper shade of green, or starts wilting/sagging.

found the swede

>>13802344
Not a swede tho

>>13802100
Youre supposed to water it thoroughly after its been completely dry for a while. Succulents like neglect, and regular but insignificant water weekly is caring too much. Im certain it would appreciate being in a south facing clear window, as well. Ive seen aucculents either shrivel up and die without enough sun, so Im guessing thats whats happening with yours.

The YouTube Channel I consulted never talked about artificial light sources. I just installed a white LED because it looks nice when it's dark around.
Otherwise it is exposed to sunlight. Not directly though. Time will show if it works

>he doesn't only raise super rare black orchids
Do you even /fa/? Get outta here with your normie monsteras and snake plants.

I concur. Plants as decoration are nice but in my opinion the plant in itself should be a statement already and not just add to your room.

small routine sips of water is actually kinda bad, anon. it allows minerals and salts to build up in the soil. to fix it, give it LOTS of water at the sink... basically flush the soil. when it dries out in a week or so, give it a big drink again. let it dry out, repeat. but really, your jade looks pretty healthy overall.

>>13803916
What species is that? It looks gorgeous

>>13804343
Sunset Valley Orchid's Black Pearl. They have an in-depth care sheet for their catasetums on their website, but you can easily find these plants on eBay. Highly recommend this species since they're easy to take care of and grow very fast. Pic related is another black catasetum from the same grower called Monnierara Millennium Magic 'Witchcraft'.

Thanks anon, I'd love to have a couple of these
