Hello #TheWateringHole planty friends 🌿 Thursday and a late post from me, but I was running around all morning getting things ready for my kiddo’s bday party this weekend. How’s everyone doing? I just want to sleep. I was trying to put off repotting my ctenanthe but I’m watering this beast every 4 days, and that’s ridiculous! He’s just been growing so fast. So I gave him a bigger home with a really good substrate that has mycorrhizae fungi. Excited to see how he responds to it!! Anything to report in your planty worlds? Or pet worlds? Here’s my big 17lb galoof Emerson Tater Sauce a couple days in a row. Had to turn up the exposure since he’s such a fancy tuxedo. Show me your cuties!! 🐾 #brunchataudreys #TheWateringHole #happyplants #hoya #Greggers #greggang #newgrowth #prayerplant #hoyahangout #TradescantiaNanouk #CalatheaCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #BegoniaBunch #DreamMachine #MonsteraMonday #Philodendron #tipsandtricks #EcoTherapy #crazyplantlady #PlantingOnABudget #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #PlantAddict #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #adhdplantlovers

Every once in a while, I see something I’ve never seen before & I buy it. I know, it’s a problem. 😂. I came across this Anthurium and I thought it was really unique. Does anyone have one and can you give me any pointers? This is Anth Pedatoradiatom aka Fingers. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #TheWateringHole #Anthurium #coolplants

My leaves of my beautiful money tree that was so healthy started turning and falling off. Any idea what may be the problem?

I would love some advice from my #TheWateringHole friends, or anyone who loves hoyas- especially @Hoyaobsessed @DreamMachine @princesspitstop ! I got this hoya YEARS ago when I knew zero about plants. I put it in this pot that has no drainage at the time. Fast forward, it’s really thriving - variegation, new offshoots…I water it pretty sparingly and just keep it in higher ambient humidity. I’ve always been of the mindset to not mess with a plant that’s clearly happy, but I worry about the lack of drainage. I’m considering putting it in a same size pot super carefully without disturbing the root ball. I fear, though, that the roots may be glued to the inside of this pot. Should I repot or let it be until it has signs of stress?

#thewateringhole Happy Wednesday everyone! 😁 I will happily accept Happy Birthday wishes today! Because I'm old and I have zero shame 🤣🤣🤣 Today I'm hanging around the house, doing some planty things and enjoying being older and hopefully a little bit wiser than last year. It's going to be 71° here in the Texas Hill Country so I've already moved some plants out on the patio to enjoy the sunshine 🌞 My ZZ completely died on me but surprised me by shooting up 3 new stalks! So weird but you do you little guy! I've also got roots starting to grow on the Dragon Tree that fell and snapped in half. No Peduncles on the Hoya this year but plenty of growth. And a picture of my doggy B-Dot Lamar "Bob" 🥰 Have a wonderful Wednesday friends! *If you're interested in being added to the ever growing list so that you don't miss a single #thewateringhole post let me know and I'll make sure you get added. Have a blessed day everyone!

I’ve seen several posts today about begonias, which reminded me that I ordered some last week. 🤣🥰. Got them today so I thought I’d share. I’m relatively new to begonias. I do better with the cane type for some reason but I love them all. Welcome to my planty shanty little guys! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Begonia #PlantAddict #TheWateringHole #GregGang

Good morning #TheWateringHole gang!! Just getting back from 5 days in Prescott AZ with a day in Sedona 🏜️ 🌵 too! Fell in deep love with Sedona 💛🧡🤎 😍. So today’s inspo is from @CactusAdjacent hilarious post about tidy pics in posts🤭😆🤣 and real life. So with that I propose #NotTidyTuesday 🎉 and I’ll start. Keep in mind I JUST got back from vacay so things are pretty tidy. No ones been here so signs of life are minimal. But I’ll admit I retook the stingray alocasia pic this morning after I realized the donation mattress is still on top of the bed & my repurposed watering containers are strewn about. Crap that needs to go upstairs still on DR table. Give me a few days to return to normal life 😜. Bonus pics from Sedona and Courthouse lighting 🎄 in Prescott. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #brunchataudreys #NotTidyTuesday #PlantTherapy #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter

Hello planty friends 🌿 I want to post today to touch briefly on an issue that I see all over Greg, all over the internet, and basically all over any advice that “plant influencers” give, and a lot of “experts” too. And I USED to think this too. But then I put on my 🤓 and got down to sciencey business. My brain doesn’t let me just happily do what everybody does, it is constantly asking WHY. And now, I am happy to go against the grain. The issue? “OVERWATERING.” 💦 I see people saying often, “The #1 issue is overwatering.” Any time someone posts a picture of their plant, almost without fail someone will say, “you overwatered.” Without even asking them what the soil feels like or when they watered last, or how big their pot is. Without finding out which leaves are affected or where it lives and what kind of light it’s getting. The issue is that so many people are scared of overwatering, that they underwater! And I don’t blame them! Everywhere, everyone is screaming that you’d better not overwater, so please do not feel bad if you’ve done this. If your plant droops, 🥀 or the leaves get soft or feel wrinkly, your plant is already dying for a drink. That means that your plants cell walls can no longer support themselves and they are deflating like a kids’ bouncy house 2 days after the birthday party. It also means that your plants teeny tiny little root hairs have already died, which also means that if you overcompensate and give it a ton of water when you see it drooping, it won’t be able to use all that water! Their root hair “straws” are 💀 And then you’ll get those classic “overwatering” signs, and people will yell at you, and you’ll go even LONGER between waterings, next time. [I’m happy to go into what to do and how to water underwatered and drooping plants so you don’t overwhelm them, but perhaps on another post? This one’s getting long enough as it is 🤦🏼‍♀️ 😇] So, my against the grain thought? “Overwatering” is almost NEVER the issue. Often times it’s either underwatering that causes “overwatering symptoms” like I mentioned above, under lighting, too dense of a soil or substrate, not enough airflow. I’ve had my fair share of root rot too, just so you know, I’m not saying it’s impossible to overwater, but when I got root rot it was because I did not have enough light nor airflow. Nurseries have gorgeous, thriving, happy plants that are potted in 💯 peat because they have enough light and airflow that the plants *guzzle* down that water. I really just touched the surface here, I didn’t even go in to how to change your soil to match your watering habits, or even how to water, but I’m happy to make more “planty 101” posts if there’s interest. I just really want people to not be scared of “overwatering,” and to open the door to all of the wonderful, but hidden, plant care information. Because 95% of what you find online is garbage. And I am your adhd-powered information-hunting sciencey hound. Except I would be a cat. 🐈‍⬛ #brunchataudreys #TheWateringHole #happyplants #hoya #Greggers #greggang #newgrowth #prayerplant #hoyahangout #TradescantiaNanouk #CalatheaCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #BegoniaBunch #DreamMachine #MonsteraMonday #Philodendron #tipsandtricks #EcoTherapy #crazyplantlady #PlantingOnABudget #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #PlantAddict #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #adhdplantlovers

Another Question plant fam. I bought Superthrive to use during all watering. Can I get some recommendations on fertilizer to I use when the app says to fertilize? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #GregGang #TheThread #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys #Fertilizer #

Did I have room for new plant babies? Of course not. Could I leave these beauties behind instead of taking them home with me? Um… 😆 #PlantAddict #NewPlants #Croton #Philodendron #TheWateringHole

Happy Sunday plant pals!! It’s Alocasia watering day. This little Ninja is spitting out new growth like crazy since I bumped my humidity up to 70%. Those new dark velvety leaves are sooooo pretty. Do we have any calathea fans here? I just love these plants. The movement from night to day is fascinating to me. I’m easily distracted. 🤣. Have a great day! #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #TheWateringHole #AlocasiaAddicts #CalatheaCrew #GregGang

Hey #TheWateringHole friends! Serious question: Do you talk to your plants? My survivor girl #cubanoregano needed a haircut and some trellising because she’s girlbossed too hard (been there) and was strangling herself. We did a big chop (also been there) and untangled her branches. All the while, I talked to her about how far she’s come, how healthy she looks now, and about how much better she’ll feel with the extra support. And it’s true! Even the cuttings I’m propagating look stunning right off the plant. Why kind of conversations do you have with your garden residents?

Got some new philodendrons today! They are just babies. I like buying mature plants sometimes, but I prefer to grow them from babies. I get more joy from watching them grow I guess. 🤷‍♀️. Have a great weekend plant pals!! #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #HappyPlants #TheWateringHole #Philodendron #GregGang

Good morning planty people!! 🌿 #TheWateringHole I am here, incredibly excited to be writing this right now, because I have a Saturday morning off for the first time in over a year 😱 I’m still working today, but in the evening. 🥳 How’s everyone doing today? 🌦️It has been soggy as heck here in the Pacific Northwest, and we are due an atmospheric river 🌊 this weekend, which is exactly what it sounds like-a river in the atmosphere will pass over head and will DUMP on us, ☔️ but last night it cleared for a brief moment to give us one of the most beautiful sunsets 🌅 I have ever witnessed. Feeling very grateful indeed ☺️ I’m going to be putzing around adding azomite and kelp meal to all my indoor plants 🫶🏼 How is everyone today? Working? Not working? Any planty business? 🪴 ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?
