Hey #Greggers So some bad news… Silvia, my silver beauty, is dying. And you’re wondering “how could the philo expert himself kill a philo?” Well, here’s how I ALMOST 😅. She need propping but she’ll be ok So one day she started wilting, so I checked and she was dry, so i watered, and watered, and she kept wilting! The problem wasn’t her water, it was as actually support! See, I gave her a bamboo stick which gets the job done! But she was SO top heavy she was killing herself. There wasn’t enough support, so she dismantled her own roots! I’m lookingg into buying Treleaf trelaces for my heavy girl, and she also needs a deeper pot. She’s currently propping in a huge vase, and she’ll be okay. #plantproper #sickplants #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #StressedPlants

Can we have a discussion on tap water? Common belief is that, the chlorines [and chloramines] in tap water will kill plants. If that's so, all my plants would've died by now. I'm using straight from the tap, average levels abt 2.27ppm with range from 1.34—2.86ppm. I water EVERYTHING with this. Alocasia, seedlings, Philos, Monstera, orchids, Nepenthes, cactus, Anthurium even the random cups of aquatic plants i have. Truth is, WHO's guidelines of 5ppm in chlorine levels is far below the tolerable levels of 100—150ppm for most ornamentals. Sure, plants like Begonia or Geraniums, their growth slows at 2ppm [doesn't mean that they die], but overall 5ppm is quite okay. In the US it's only 4ppm at most too. Some chlorine is needed by plants for basic functions, like nutrient uptake or leaf turgidity. It is important to understand that, the chlorine itself won't kill your plants, unless allowed to build up [by then it's probably repot time for healthy plants]. What DOES kill plants is the overdose of heavy metals in many tap water. Mainly the ones to look out for are Cadmium [Cd], Chromium [Cr], Lead [Pb], Arsenic [Ar], Mercury [Hg], Copper [Cu], Iron [Fe], Manganese [Mn], Molybdenum [Mo], Nickel [Ni] and Zinc [Zn]. The last 6 are micro elements that are needed in small quantities by plants, take note of the following levels at which these elements are required: • Cu: 5-20ppm • Fe: [quite varied, the internet is very divided over this. Some say a range of 2-3ppm, some >4.5-5ppm, some 10-20ppm, even down to 0.1-0.5ppm. Really, just monitor for iron deficiency or overdose symptoms] • Mn: 15-20ppm • Mo: 0.1-1ppm • Ni: [again, very divided. There's as low as 0.03-0.06ppm to 100ppm. But really, nickel isn't normally a huge concern] • Zn: 0.5-10ppm The remaining [Cd, Cr, Pb, Ar, Hg] should be close to zero anyways, it's WHO's guidelines. Anyways if the levels in your tap water for these elements are too high, you may have problems. Same with well water. Should you have these issues, use a distiller, RO unit or water conditioner that removes heavy metals [such as API Aqua Essential or Seachem Prime]. These are usually able to be bought by the gallon online, and will last you for a long time. Also, a word on water softeners. If you have water softeners installed, PLEASE use a distiller or RO unit. Water softeners utilises Sodium or Potassium compounds to bind with hard minerals. These ions can build up in soil, leading to dehydration as they'll interfere with the plant's ability to take up water and other nutrients. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #PlantTherapy #WateringWednesday #PlantLove #plantproper #TropicalPlants #AquaticPlants #AlocasiaAddicts #Alocasia #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #Monstera #MonsteraMob #OrchidLovers #OrchidOrg #Orchid #Nepenthes #CarnivorousPlants #CarnivorousClub #CactusClique #Cactus #Cacti #cacticollect #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #Anthurium #GregGang #Greggers #GregFam #PlantInfo #PlantFactNOW

Amazing Hoya Several years ago Hoyas got my attention and heart ❤️ I've been adding hoyas to my jungle, over the last four years, two years ago I got this stunning Hoya Sunrise from Plant Proper, this is the year for blooms. I've counted 15 peduncles, she seems to produce new peduncles almost daily. Her buds are about to burst open... #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantmafia #plantproperfanclub #plantproper #hoya #hoyahangout #hoyaheads #thethread #sarahsgrove

Long time! It's been quite a while since I posted, I do, however check on #Greggers and the posts daily. I was very ill for a while with the flu and pneumonia, sadly I lost a few plants (a couple of hoyas which broke my heart 💔) as I was unable to care for them. It took a while to catch up on planty care but my planty babies seem to be doing now and lots of new growth. So last week I decided to reward myself with a new hoya from #plantproper. Oh my what a gorgeous Hoya Enduaensis. Plant proper never ceases to provide beautiful plants. #plantproperfanclub #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #crazyplantlady #hoya #hoyahangout #hoyaheads #sarahsgrove

Spring is Here and everyone is popping off! The colors, the new growth, the blooms! 😍🌸 This is just a snapshot of all the repotting I've been doing over my spring break. Most of my succulents have been put outside for the growing season and oh my gosh, they're already stunning! Please forgive the layer of pollen and damaged leaves, we had a hail storm roll through a few weeks ago and my poor plants got a little beat up 😞 I'm so excited for summer and for all of my plants to really start growing 💚🌱 More photos in the comments because 5 isn't enough. #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #plantmafia #plantshelfie #plantproper #plantcorner #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents #succerforsucculents #succulent #whatthesuccwednesday #freshleaffriday #freshbloom #bloomingsuccs #happyplants #echeveria

Got some little #wishlistplant from #plantproper! I had to take advantage of that Labor Day sale! Got a Philo Ring of Fire, a Paraiso Verde, a gorgeous Hoya Burtoniae, and a variegated Syngonium 😍 all for less than $35! And since #BennyTheTreeFrog is asleep right now, here is his friend #BonnieTheTreeFrog who I discovered this week lives in the begonias on my deck! She also has a tiny baby that is smaller than a US quarter (I can’t think of anything universally descriptive because I’m still half asleep). I will post baby frog pics in the comments 🐸 Anyway so excited to get these beauties for such a steal! Going to pot up the #Hoya today, but I need to get it a nice trellis ♥️🪴📦 #PlantMail #PlantHaul #PlantAddict #Philodendron #PhiloFlock #HoyaHangout #Syngonium #SyngoniumSquad #AlboVariegata #VariegationAppreciation #PlantProperFanClub #PetsOfGreg #PetsAndPlants #babevila

Plant Mail!! I love plant mail posts. For you guys, and for me. They’re the BEST. I always imagine you sitting there, SO excited to open the box and gently unwrapping the surprise inside! I love it. I got my #plantproper order (last picture). A #HoyaRotundifolia and a thanks to @AmusingRedhill I can now only see pickles 🥒 which that’s fine, I love ‘em! And I also got the #HoyaIcensis. I have had it in the sun for only a few days and the black edges are starting to appear! Then, I ordered from an Etsy shop called The Hoya Trove. Julia is UH-Mazing. I highly suggest her. Pic 1- USPS played soccer with the box apparently, but she packed it so well there were no losses! Pic 2- #HoyaHeuschkeliana and #HoyaLucanosaVariegata Pic 3- #HoyaCarnosa and #HoyaCarnosaCVCrystal Pic 4- #HoyaWayettiVariegata Pic 5- Hoya rotundiflora (bottom) and the Icensis (top) #HoyaHangout #HoyaLover #INeverThoughtHoyasWouldBeMyFave #itrunsinthefamily #PlantMail

Wanted to share my plant mail that came today from #plantproper I got a “notched and botched” Gloriosum and Alocasia Hilo Beauty is for a plant friend of mine. They both came well packaged and seem to be healthy looking plants 🫶🏽🤗 #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #AlocasiaHiloBeauty #PhilodendronGloriosum pictures in the comments 🤭

Second part of my order from #plantproper! I got this freaking GORGEOUS #pinklavasyngonium and #monsteraesqueleto! They are both very healthy looking and the purplish pink and green of the pink lava Syngonium is breathtaking. I named her "Opal" and I named the Esqueleto "Ventana" which is a name that means "Window" in Spanish. 😊 I can't wait to see them both grow and develop into more mature plants. 🩷 💚 💜 #monstera #syngoniumsquad #syngonium #monsteramob #greggang #theamigos #jesssjungle #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #planttherapy #newplants

New #plantmail!!! This is part of my order from #plantproper that I got with my $50 gift card from the #gregteam for being in the top 5 best answers for May. Thank you SO MUCH again, Greg team, for being so generous and running this amazing app!! Onto the PLANTS!! I got a gorgeous Cebu Blue Pothos. Look at how she trails!! This plant has been on my wishlist for quite some time. I named her Celeste. And I got a #ficusshivereana who is looking droopy from the travels, but otherwise healthy. I have confidence that he'll pop back up! I named him Frodo. 💍 I have 2 more plants coming from Plant Proper and I can't wait!!!! #ficus #pothospack #pothos #happyplants #plantaddict #plantsmakepeoplehappy #planttherapy #theamigos #jesssjungle #greggang #greggers #greggivesback

Fresh leaf Friday! I got some plant mail yesterday that I’m so excited about from #plantproper. HUGE thanks to the Greg team for the gift card thanking me for spending my spring break chatting with everyone on the app about plant care! I loved the extra time off to answer questions and learn more myself in the process about taking care of our plants. #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GregGang #greggivesback #HappyPlants #FreshLeafFriday #Hoya #Maranta #HoyaHangout
