I LOVE #HappyHappyHouseplantFood from #happyhappyhouseplants It's gentle enough to use each time I water. This is my #GregPSA ☺️ https:// #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #plantamigos #PlantAddict #PlayingWithPlantsInsteadOfWorking #SOBER

Adding Hashtags Lately I’ve frequently been suggesting that people add multiple hashtags to their posts. There have been so many that I thought it would be useful to add a post about it. If you want people to see your post you have to put it where they can easily find it. Once you write a post, look towards the bottom left corner. There you will see four icons. The first lets you add your plant’s card to your post. The second lets you add up to five photos. ( Please provide photos if you’re asking for help!) The third is to to tag specific people. Finally, you’ll see the symbol for a hashtag. Once you tap it, a list will come up showing a list of various, but not all, groups on Greg. The first 3 to 5 are the groups that are the largest in this default list, but there are many other large groups that are also terrific. Those will provide you with the best exposure for your post or your question. This is especially important when asking a question. You can find other groups by adding a letter or a word after the hashtag as you type. The window will show what groups we have that include that letter or word. For example, if you have a post or a question about succulents, you might try #SucculentLove or #SucculentsSquad. Many plant specific groups are there, too. We have #SnakePlant, #Echeveria, and #Monstera. There are MANY more. There are also what I’ll call discussion groups. These include the groups #WhatTheSuccWednesday (sharing info, pictures and stories about our succulents) #GreggersSupportingGreggers (literally a support group for those having a rough time and those who are kind enough to listen) and #MonsteraMonday, obviously for Monstera lovers. All of these groups are open to anyone who wishes to join or just wants to lurk in the background. Play around with it. Add random words or even one letter and explore. You can create a practice post. Just don’t send it. 😁 You’ll find out a lot about Greg and plants and the friends you can make here. I hope this helps. Happy planting! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #TipsandTricks #GregPSA

POV: You haven't properly cleaned your largest plant in over a year... How the heck is it even possible for #ThirstyBoiBuddy to be this dirty??? 🥴🤪 I'm only four vines deep! 🫠🫠🫠 This is gonna probably take me a couple days since they're all a million feet long and he's also getting a new hairdo while I'm at it... Lmao #gregpsa #goodgrief #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #bathtime #WickedValkyrie #WhoviansOfGreg #socalgreg

Do not bonsai jack, if your looking at growing succulents do not buy this crap 1)it’s expensive 2)it’s killed 4 of the 5 echeverias I’ve put in it so far (I’m sure the fifth one will die soon) No matter how much water you give them they will slowly dehydrate and die. I’ve noticed dehydration and increased my watering to as much as every other day and still they die. To show im not over watering below are the roots of the latest victim. I used miracle grow for succulents on a different echeveria and it has been doing BEAUTIFULLY it’s full it’s growing and never looks dehydrated. #GregPSA #SucculentSquad

So now that the #sciencewithgreg community exists this feels like a good time to address one of the questions I get most often no matter where I go on the Internet... And that is 🧚‍♀️✨How do I get such big/lush #pothos growth?✨🧚‍♀️ This. This right here is my "secret". Literally any mych will do, this is just the one I'm currently using, tho I've used other brands in the past... (It's also great for fruits, veg, herbs, marijuana, pretty much anything with a lot of lush growth.) When I'm propping I water with roughly 50/50 this and regular water and then about once a month I'll give my soil plants a nice healthy dose... I also use this fertilizer every time I water. Diluted to 50% strength during the grow season and 25% during the off season. (Feel free to ask if y'all have other questions.) Best of luck and happy growing y'all! 🙃✌️🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♂️ #mycorrhizalfungi #science #protip #gregpsa #fertilizer #foxfarm #foxfarmgrowbig #mycorrhizae #goodguyfungi #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #pothospack

#GregPSA Swiss Cheese Vine and Window Leaf are NOT the same thing. The Swiss Cheese Vine is Monstera adansonii, and the Window Leaf (much more rare and expensive) is a Monstera obliqua. The adansonii is more leaf than hole, while the obliqua has much more hole than leaf.

#GregPSA Over-exposure to UV Lights! ❗️I have to give this warning once in awhile to my plant friends because we #crazyplantparents forget to keep this in mind: •Over-exposure to UV light is widely known to cause skin cancer, premature aging, immune system suppression, and eye damage (Washington.edu) This is not to scare anyone, I promise that is not my intention. I know many of us have grow lights for our indoor plants and wanted to take the time to let you all know to be careful about where your #GrowLights are and how they’re placed! Make sure they’re not directly hitting your vision/eye level and make sure to keep timers in mind! This is a good idea not only for your plants (they ocasionally need light breaks) but also for you! 😊🤍 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #GrowLights #SucculentLove #kscapedream

Another #gregpsa: water meters are not always effective or accurate. When possible your own finger is the best, most accurate, option for checking if your soil is dry. 🖤✌️

#gregpsa #protip If you live in an area that uses chloramine, leaving water out overnight will do nothing at all. Chloramine does not dissipate, however you can use aquarium water conditioners to remove it! (Source: my science teacher FIL)

#GregPSA : it's okay to "snooze" your plants. When you are prompted to water your plants, check the soil before you water. Some pots retain more moisture than others. My Hoya Something or Other has been snoozed for almost a month and I'll "snooze" it again- the soil is still moist. (: After you "snooze" a plant, Greg will prompt you to water (check) it again in three days. Some plants do so much better being allowed to dry between waterings. I have SO MUCH GROWTH on this Hoya now. #Greg helps you to get to know your own plant's watering rhythm. Water on a rhythm- not a schedule. 🪴
