Herb’s delivery! I want a little herb wild. 🤪 🌿🌬️ She had some of my favorites in stock, so I had to get them. I wasn’t expecting them to arrive so quickly. So now I’m anxiously awaiting the other mix now. Ugh, this is why people say: plan ahead..🧐🤨. Ain’t foresight just beautiful? 🤦‍♀️😂😅 Live and learn, but please just live, you little herby dudes! Anyone else been getting their herb on? I gotta say, herbs are so much harder for me to do, but only in the winter. And all winter. 🥶 😅 It’s like cinnamon and lavender. I love all those plants, and no matter how much I love them, they leave me. Usually not because I gave them away. Just in peace. 🪦 Little buddies. I didn’t mean to kill you. ☠️💔 But we got this. This time, they are gonna make it. 🤞🤞🤞😬🤦‍♀️ #plantiepeeps #TheThread #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

I got sweet pea flowers; I love the smell of sweet pea flowers. While they are super toxic to our furry friends, my dogs and cats have shown zero interest. Thank goodness! 😅 We now have sweet pea photos! Anyone growing sweet peas or anything else that smells so yummy and delicious? 😋 Ps- I’m so anxious today 😬 I’m supposed to have my soil delivery and my last thing I need for my water before I water my plants tonight. Why time is so slow 🐌 when you are waiting for things.. 😩 I’m giving a thank you gift; is a banana and a prickly pear a good thank you?? 🙏 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #TheThread #TheWateringHole #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

Hello everyone, Here is a “family” portrait of my Avacado plants/trees. I do not propagate my avocado pits in water. First, I soaked the pit in water for about an hour and peel off the outer layer skin. I put them in the soil in a pot, cover them in dirt about 3/4 of the way pointed side up. Then I place a clear plastic cup over the pit and keep the soil moist. Not all the pits will sprout, but about 50%. From the week old baby in the front to eight months old tress in the back. I propagated them all from pits. 🌳🌴🪾 @BabeVila @BuffCaperspurge @CutePolypremum @DanDenMan @DreamMachine @FunBoglaurel81 @HFplantoasis @HummingbirdMint @Idplantthat @ILoveMyPlants @Jadedbelle @Jujube @Luckeecharm1 @ModestCoconut13 @Ms.Persnickety @newplantgirlies @Preciousplants1 @princesspitstop @QuickKalopanax @sarah10orio @Shells_Garden @SillyPlantGirl @SizableSuncup20 @smushface @SolaceInSunshine @RefinedSandwort @Ponytailmom @MusicalRedmint @MamaLinnei @KaylaG2010 @BEsucculent #thethread #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PropagationStation #OutdoorGrowing #thewateringhole #avocado

I’ve been repotting for the last few days, and I’ll tell you I’m exhausted 🥱. Also trying to keep up with a ten-year-old; even with my coffee, it wasn’t enough. 🤣🤦‍♀️ Jeez; no, I’m just feeling old. 😅 But we are here for the plants, so here are a few I’ve been working on. And one my niece is taking home; I’m accumulating it before she takes it. It’s a propagation from my caramel marble philodendron. ☺️☺️ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #TheThread #TheWateringHole #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #Monstera #Philodendron

So last night I was up late making a cutting pot for my husband’s work. It’s a 10-12 gallon planter and then a few other smaller ones; but this ensures everyone can pick what they want, but I had to share; #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #TheThread #TheWateringHole #Caladium #Philodendron #AlocasiaAddicts #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

Look at who’s growing back 😊👏🏽 Thought I’d lost her during the thrips she’d gotten soft n only one dying leaf. The second one looked burned up and with only a stem 🍃 😊😊💕 just wanted to share: 2nd begonia below #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #TheThread #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys

My cute little kumquat tree has gone crazy this summer. I’m so excited I’m hoping we have at least a small handful of kumquats at the end! #HappyPlants #TheThread #TheWateringHole #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PlantShelfie #PlantID #OutdoorGrowing

It finally came! Well, one part; the last part of my soil mix. Still waiting on the hydroguard… ugh… 😩 Why is it taking so long? 🙃🐌🩵🌸 In the meantime, I have finally finished repotting 72 plants and more to go… but I gotta take a little break. Later tonight or tomorrow maybe. 🤔 How’s everyone’s last day of the week before the weekend??

Omg 🙈 my family got home at 3 a.m. this morning, and my niece was calling me at 9 a.m. to come get her so she could come steal my plants. 😂✨ She’s too cute! 🥰 Anyway, had to share my buddies I’ve been working on the last couple of days. It’s a little wild, but I was out working, and then all of a sudden they changed, and it was hailing. But I wish I could say this doesn’t happen yearly. 😂🤦‍♀️ but really it’s a desert 🏜️.. it’s summer.. and it’s hailing. 😂😂irony?? #TheThread #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

Okay, warning to all: this will probably be a lot of photos and a lot of plants to see. I warn you now. Ha ha ha I chopped all my bananas recently so my other plants could get some sun this summer, and bananas need it. 🤫☺️🇺🇸 I hope everyone is having a great 4th of July weekend! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #TheThread #TheWateringHole #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID #OutdoorGrowing #PlantLove #Hoya #HoyaHangout #HoyaHeads

So my yard is absolutely terrible, but I have big ol’ puppies. But I’ve had a whacking day. I don’t know about you all, but sometimes when I start projects, I get a little too into them. 😂🤦‍♀️ Well, there went the bananas. Eventually, they were going to be chopped anyway. 😂🍌🪓 In my defense, winging a machete is really fun. 😂🫶🩵 #HappyPlants #TheThread #TheWateringHole #Banana #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

Hey everyone! I know this is a long shot, but there's a nursery called San Marcos Growers in Santa Barbara, CA that recently shut down their operations. They're still selling off remaining inventory, including a Tradescantia sillamontana variety called "Huasteca Canyon" they originally collected in the wild in Mexico. And no one else on the planet seems to have it! They're no longer shipping plants, so they can only be picked up in person. So if anyone lives in that area who would be willing to help me out with this, please let me know! I'd of course send you all necessary funds and shipping costs, and also reimburse you for your time. Myself and a few other members of the US-based Tradescantia community would be eternally grateful and forever in your debt 🙏🏼 Thank you!! A few photos of the elusive Tradescantia sillamontana 'Huasteca Canyon' ☺️ #TradescantiaTroupe #PlantAddict #GregGang #TheWateringHole #TheThread #brunchataudreys #TradescantiaSillamontana #RarePlants

New growth!!! After my monstera sadly broke during a repot I was terrified that she was not going to come back. But all 4 parts are showing new amazing growth!! My crown of thorns plant is also blossoming and my white wizard philodendron is also showing some new leaves! I’m excited to see what grows next! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #GregGang #Greggers #TheThread

Thought I’d share a few little buddies! The first two Hoyas are some new buddies: Hoya bird of paradise and a Hoya Meredithii (Gunung Kapi), the other a purple-vein alocasia; and then my little cute Dino anthurium had a beautiful companion pop up. I rarely get back into the very back of my greenhouse, so I was excited to see it. 😂 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #TheThread #TheWateringHole #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #PlantID

Well, what can I say? I ran out of spots today in my overflow containers, so when my impulse Japanese strawberries came 🍓, I’m so excited, you guys! My Japanese strawberries 🍓 are Momo Ichigo; Kaorino; Akihime; Japanese Angel strawberries. 🍓 So this was the solution to my problem. 🤦‍♀️🤣 My dogs don’t use this old pool anymore. So I drilled holes, filled it, and made it into a hidden strawberry garden in my backyard. 🤣🐝🌸🩵. I’m going to just copy and paste some quick Google definitions on them if anyone is interested. Momo Ichigo (Peach Strawberry - 桃薫): Native to Tokushima, these rare berries have a distinct, subtle peach aroma and flavor. They are highly juicy, mildly sweet, and not overly sugary, delivering an incredibly refreshing profile. Kaorino (かおり野): Translated as "scented field," this award-winning variety from Mie Prefecture is famous for its vibrant floral fragrance and honey-like sweetness. It is exceptionally low in acidity with a long conical shape and firm, juicy flesh. Akihime (あきひめ): Developed in Shizuoka, this is one of Japan’s most popular varieties. It is distinguished by its elongated shape and melt-in-your-mouth soft flesh. It is wonderfully sweet with minimal tartness, making it a favorite for both fresh eating and "all-you-can-eat" farm tours in Japan. Angel Strawberries (天使のいちご - Tenshi no Ichigo / Awayuki): These luxurious, pale white to blush-pink strawberries have red seeds. Despite their unripe appearance, they are remarkably sweet, soft, and have a unique flavor profile that sets them apart from traditional red berries. For anyone interested in finding these here is where I got them. https://. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Strawberry #PlantAddict #TheThread #TheWateringHole #PlantTherapy #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter

I normally wouldn’t make a post like this, but I wanted to share this with you all. Please take it as just me explaining monosilic acid vs. potassium silica. I’ve seen a lot of people who have been asking but don’t fully understand. So I just hope this can help. *Beyond the Hype: Monosilicic Acid vs. Potassium SilicateSubtitle: The actual chemistry of plant armor and soil health. 1: The Core Problem with Garden GossipThe Myth: "Silica is a chemical hype product that builds up salts and ruins plants long-term."The Reality: Silicon is the 2nd most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Nature uses it to build plant skeleton and defense systems.The Confusion: Not all silica bottles are created equal. Mixing up the forms of silica leads to terrible advice. 2: The Two ContendersContender A: Potassium Silicate (\(K_{2}SiO_{3}\))An old-school, industrial, raw mineral salt.Contender B: Monosilicic Acid (\(H_{4}SiO_{4}\))A highly refined, bio-available organic molecule.The Golden Rule: Plants can only absorb Monosilicic Acid. 3: Potassium Silicate (The Heavy Salt)What it is: Raw silica melted down with potassium carbonate.How it works: It is a massive, complex molecule. The plant cannot absorb it directly; soil microbes must break it down over weeks into Monosilicic Acid first.The Danger: It is highly alkaline (pH of 11+). It dramatically spikes soil pH and leaves behind heavy potassium salt residues.The Result: If you don't flush your soil, this is the form that causes the nutrient lockouts people complain about. 4: Monosilicic Acid (The Specialized Tech)What it is: Fully bioavailable, pre-broken-down silica (like PowerSi).How it works: Because it is already in the exact form the plant requires, the roots absorb it instantly within minutes of application.The Safety: It is completely pH-neutral and highly concentrated. You use tiny, microscopic doses compared to raw salts.The Result: Zero salt buildup, zero soil pH drifting, and instant structural armor for the plant. 5: The "Marijuana Hype" Reality CheckThe Claim: "Silica is just a gimmick popularized by cannabis growers for fast growth."The Fact: High-value commercial growers adopted it because they invest heavily in laboratory testing and plant tissue analysis.The Agriculture Truth: Massive commercial agricultural operations use bioavailable silica on rice, wheat, and sugarcane to prevent lodging (falling over) and combat high-heat stress. 6: Physical Structural Density vs. Fake GrowthSynthetic Hormones (e.g., Superthrive): Artificially forces cells to stretch and grow longer. This can create weak, watery, floppy tissues that easily snap or burn in high heat.Monosilicic Acid: Deposits a rigid, glassy matrix inside the existing cell walls. It creates "leathery" leaves and thick stalks that mechanically block pests and lock in water during heatwaves. 7: How to Safely Use Silica Without LockoutPrioritize Rainwater: Rainwater is naturally soft and slightly acidic, which beautifully dissolves nutrients and keeps soil pH balanced. The "Weekly Weakly" Method: Feed lower, consistent doses of premium inputs rather than heavy, shock-inducing concentrations.Routine Flushes: A clean water flush every few months prevents any potential trace mineral accumulation, completely invalidating the "long-term death" myth. 8: Summary: Work with Chemistry, Not TrendsChoose Monosilicic Acid for instant absorption, zero salt buildup, and complete pH stability. Avoid Raw Silicate Salts if you want to prevent long-term soil crusting and nutrient lockout.Look at the Leaves: Thick stalks and un-tearable, leathery leaves don't lie. The plant's physical structure is the ultimate proof of health. The Planetary Reality Check (Earth's Crust Chemistry)The Science: Oxygen (46.1%) and Silicon (28.2%) are the top two most abundant elements in the Earth’s crust. Together, they make up 4 out of every 5 atoms available on the surface of the globe. What is Silica?: Silica is simply Silicon Dioxide (\(SiO_{2}\))—a natural bond of the two most common things on Earth.The Logic Gap: Claiming silica is an artificial "hype chemical" is like claiming water or oxygen is a fad. Earth is silica. The True "Hype" vs. Actual Plant ArchitectureSynthetic Vitamin Blends: Products relying heavily on synthetic growth hormones (like NAA/Auxins found in Superthrive) trick the plant into rapidly elongating its cells. This forces fast growth but creates weak, bloated cell tissue. Monosilicic Acid: Does not manipulate plant hormones. It provides the literal physical building materials. It places a solid, glassy layer between the plant's outer cuticle and cell walls.The Verdict: One stretches cells thin; the other reinforces them with physical structural armor. Here are some sites to look into if interested https:// https:// https:// #TheThread #TheWateringHole #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers #PetsAndPlants #MonsteraMonday #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PestControl #PlantShelfie #RarePlants #Hoya

Happy Friday Plant Peoples! 🪴🌺🌸 I found something I wanted to share with everyone! This guy has been 5 years without a single fungus gnat! 5YEARS! https:// I already have Neem cake so I’m gonna a try it (I happen to have found a silly single gnat in my house yesterday! I have only seen one, but one is too many as far as I’m concerned!) starting today! I will be the tester and keep you all posted on how it goes! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PonytailPalm #HappyPlants #TheThread #TheWateringHole #fungusgnats 🪴🌺🌸
