Soooo, I did something stupid 🥲 I was febreezing my room (which is something I RARELY do) and as a stupid thought I was like “LET ME FEBREEZE MY SOLOMON SEAL! 😄” and then I realized that MAYBE I shouldn’t have done that! I think my plant has gnats and I haven’t had time to treat it (even though I’ve been letting the soil get very dry) which was why I did it and now I’m worried! My plants had been declining and yellowing so I DONT think FEEBREZING IT HELPED! I took this guy from the woods. PLEASE HELP! I think it might not be getting enough light because I don’t know if this corner gets light and I think I took low shade to heart 😅 Any help will be greatly appreciated! 😭 #PlantAddict #WhatTheSuccWednesday #SolomonSealClub #NotSoHappyPlants #NotFreshLeafFriday

Oh no, Crispy Boy 🍂 @PlantyPlanter @sarah10orio update on Solomon Seal Rhizome Since I ordered a new one, I’m okay with looking at this one now! Can I save him? The dark part was mushy last night and the soil was between damp and somewhat dry. I believe it’s rotting but the rest of it is healthy! What do I do 🤞🏽✨ #SolomonSealClub #SolomonSeal #kscapedream

Ummm help Was gonna to make a normal post and add of picture of the #SolomonSeal @peter1 was so kind to give me and I saw THIS! What is going on??? Apart from that, yesterday I tried to convince my neighbor to “join” the #SolomonSealClub because she was talking to me about her yard and said that she couldn’t grow anything against her wall because it was shady and I was like “can I give you a plant recommendation?” 😂 she said that it would be too much work (even though I tried to tell her that it wouldn’t be) thankfully the neighbor next to her also has a wall! She was really nice though!

Is this the right species?? #Polygonatum I added my Variegated #SolomonSeal to my oasis and it’s says it’s Angular Solomon Seal? When I was trying to look through the photos a bunch of the plants definitely weren’t Solomon seal. The  description said “striped” but not variegated. So is this variegated Solomon seal?? #SolomonSealClub @peter1 @sarah10orio @RJG
