We got our heat-reflective sun tarps up, so I’ve been moving things in and out of the garage all day. I forgot how heavy big planters can be, and how much I don’t work out! 🤣🙃 Moving plants can be my workout routine until I forget to care about it again. 😅🤷‍♀️ #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #TheThread #TheWateringHole #TradescantiaNanouk #TipsandTricks

@vvvelo you’ve created a monster!! I found 3 lithops at the garden center the other day and I’ve always told myself if I found one, I would try again. I don’t know how those other 3 succulents got here. Mysterious 🤔 Anyhoo for you and anyone else who is familiar with lithops care, I types up some notes for myself and I just want to make sure these are correct! I think @stephonicle Steph might have some too? And @princesspitstop and @MamaLinne @ZestyWhiteghost @CactusAdjacent 🥰 #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys #happyplants #hoya #Greggers #greggang #newgrowth #prayerplant #hoyahangout #OrchidLovers #Orchid #TradescantiaNanouk #CalatheaCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #BegoniaBunch #DreamMachine #MonsteraMonday #Philodendron #tipsandtricks #EcoTherapy #crazyplantlady #PlantingOnABudget #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #PlantAddict #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #adhdplantlovers #horticulturaltherapy #plantnerd #LithopsArmy #lithops #SplitRock

WATERING TIP!! I wanted to share a watering tip I learned from PlantswithKrystal over on YouTube!! As great as the Greg app is, don’t strictly follow its watering schedule unless you’re positive it works for your plant. Instead: take a skewer, chopstick, or whatever long thin tool you have and gently insert it into the soil. This allows you to check the soil moisture easily, if the soil sticks then it’s moist, if it comes out clean it’s likely your soil is dry. Just research what your plant requires in terms of soil moisture (some plants need watering once the top 2 inches of soil is dry, some prefer completely drying out before watering, it depends on the plant) and use this method to check your soil moisture and water accordingly! #TipsandTricks #WateringHacks #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

I’ve been out all day working in the yard planting and weeding, watering, plus you all the rest. Anyway, thought I’d share some banana pics and others. Hmm, my garage is super messy, don’t look closely 🫣, and I am cleaning the walls and the whole greenhouse this upcoming month, and I hate all the green build-up, but it’s only temporary. 🤣🫶🏻🌸🩵🐝 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #TheThread #TheWateringHole #TipsandTricks #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #GrowLights #NewPlantMom #OrchidLovers #PetsAndPlants #PlantCorner #BeforeAndAfter #PlantShelfie #PestControl #RarePlants #PlantID

Hello my loves! 🥰🌿 It’s a wet drizzly 🌧️☔️💦🌲🌲🌲Wednesday here in the PNW, and I had roughly 1 billion pounds of library books to return today. But luckily my library is only a three minute walk, I had my trusty wagon, (complete with a VERY classy 💅🏼 clear trash bag to protect my books 📚 ), and I just adore walking through the mini two-acre nature preserve that sits right next to the library. 🌲🌲🪾🌲🪵🌿 I have a book recommendation for those that have gotten interested in botany. I ended up buying the book because I love it so much. Botany in a Day, by Thomas J. Elpel Instead of learning plants one at a time, this book helps you recognize and learn the PATTERNS of the FAMILIES of the plants. 🪴 Once you have the families down, you could potentially recognize a plant in the wild, and know something about it, even if you don’t know its name! There’s also many pages of quick guides, to things like flower terms 🌻 leaf shapes 🍃and plant family keys 📖. I can’t recommend it enough! Plus one more pic of my new geogenanthus poeppigii because I love him so much 🥰🥰🥰 How are you all doing today? Are your plants waking up yet or do you still have sleepyheads? 🥰🥱🫶 ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?

Hello my loves! 🥰🌿 Happy Friday!! How has your week been? ♥️ I had a magical, or religious experience (pick what you like 😁) in the forest 🌲🌲🌲a couple days ago, and am still feeling the benefits. 🧘‍♀️☮️😌 Powell Butte Nature Park is only 6 minutes away from me and I’m kicking myself that I haven’t spent every single weekend there! (I’d only ever been there as a late-night college reveller OR more recently, barely inside the borders with elementary children for a picnic) 🥴 I can’t believe I didn’t know the trails through the forest existed, and we only did maybe a quarter of them. 😱🌲🪾🌲🌲🪺🍄🌲🌸 As we got under the canopy, everything became suddenly hushed, except for the songbirds and ravens. Lovely old trees covered with moss and ferns. Trilliums on the forest floor and pacific wrens flitting around. Here’s some pictures for your perusal of my new favorite happy place. ☺️ And tell me: what is YOUR happy place? (aside from our indoor gardens of course) What natural place do you prefer or would choose to go if you could? 🥰🌸🌲🪴🌊❄️☀️🌵🌴 ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?

Ahhhh thank you so much @vvvelo !!! 🤯🤩🥳 My succulents from Volodymyr’s giveaway arrived and I couldn’t be more thrilled! Look at all these BÉBÉS 😱😱 #vladimirgivessucculentsaway #volodymyrgivessucculentsaway #vvvelogivessuccs I might need a little help with identifying, if anyone can assist, as the only one I think I know, is the jade, and then perhaps that’s a walking aloe? 😂 Or is it climbing? 🤔 I am determined to do right by these cuties! I live in a predominately wet, cool climate (except for a couple months of dry summer) so if anyone could tell me if they think this substrate is a good mix for succulents in my climate (that tends to make things stay damp for longer)? -1/2 my own mixed substrate (which is 1/3 coir, 1/3 orchid bark, 1/3 perlite) -1/2 bonsai jacks gritty mix Thank you again @vvvelo ! What a wonderful thing to do, it’s so appreciated ♥️ I was so excited opening the box, and I just can’t stop staring at them 🥰🥰🤩😍 #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys #happyplants #hoya #Greggers #greggang #newgrowth #prayerplant #hoyahangout #OrchidLovers #Orchid #TradescantiaNanouk #CalatheaCorner #AlocasiaAddicts #SucculentSquad #CactusClique #BegoniaBunch #DreamMachine #MonsteraMonday #Philodendron #tipsandtricks #EcoTherapy #crazyplantlady #PlantingOnABudget #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #PlantAddict #plantfriendsarethebestfriends #adhdplantlovers #horticulturaltherapy #plantnerd

Hello my loves! 🥰🌿 It’s #untidytuesday at the #TheWateringHole and holy moly I’m just realizing I don’t think I’ve posted in over a week! 😱 Not intentional, it was rather a hard last couple weeks. Busy/Easter madness/emotional roller coaster. 🎢 Now I just want to take a nap 😴 But I also have 41 plants 🪴 to check in on first 😮‍💨 The other night I sleep-bought a new fertilizer. Okay I *was* vaguely aware of what I was doing but I thought I just put it in my cart…nope! It arrived next day LOL! Anyhoo, if you’re in the market for a good organic fertilizer that literally smells like chicken poo 💩 , boy have I got you covered! But it helped me realize that even though my usual superthrive foliage pro is a vibrant green color—it DOESN’T smell like poo 💩 🙌 That is a HUGE plus to me I never realized, and wow, I totally took that for granted! Here’s some things going on in my neck of the woods. My beautiful begonia maculara flowering, again! Mushroom kit growing. the fertilizer. And some of my little seedlings! What do you all have going on for this Tuesday afternoon? ⏱️Want to be notified of these posts when they come out?

📣 Hey #GregGang, happy April! Spring has sprung in the West and I think it's lovely! Now it's time for another #GregGivesBackGiveaway! I have been so busy this year that I haven't had a lot of time to be on Greg lately, but one thing I know: I want to keep it real! Since I've been so busy, some of my plants have suffered. It has been #SurvivalOfTheFittest! If you come visit #SarahsGreeenhouse or #SarahsShower, those plants no longer look like the ones in the pictures. Some look good and are #HappyPlants ... but some don't look so hot and they are clearly #NotSoHappyPlants! Since I'm being real, some are even in the #PlantGraveyard 🪦 😆 I know that some #plantfriends post the PRETTIEST most AMAZING PICTURES of plants. Also, in this age of AI, I've seen a few plants on Greg that look a little sus (as my kiddos would say). 🪴 This month, I want to keep it real! Do you have a picture-perfect plant that's in your oasis ... but now that plant is leaving much to be desired? Let's build each other up and show some honest images of our plants. (: So let's do a #GregVSReality post! Take a screenshot of a plant in your oasis and take a current picture of that same plant. Let's see how much has changed. Don't be ashamed!!
