Hello ๐Ÿ‘‹ plant friends and #TheWateringHole crew! Itโ€™s Thursday afternoon and Iโ€™m taking a watering break ๐Ÿ’ฆ ๐Ÿชด! I know weโ€™re supposed to water early but thatโ€™s just not always possible ๐Ÿคช Besides I got distracted admiring each of the ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ๐ŸŒฑ on the schedule ๐Ÿ‘€. This snake plant ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿชด is one of my earliest on Greg. I got him November 2021 and joined Greg January 2022 ๐Ÿ—“๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ. Doesnโ€™t seem that long ago!!! Anyway last year he gave me a scare ๐Ÿ˜ฌ tipping to one side, I checked his roots to discover there were hardly any!! Iโ€™d been gleefully bottom watering ๐Ÿฅฃ ๐Ÿ’ง thinking the water was wicking up but that wasnโ€™t it. His roots were dry, soil at bottom was wet, and I was faced with a dying plant. Down potted way down, probably a good 2โ€ smaller pot, with fresh soil and stakes for support. Gave him a grow light. Here are his roots today ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐ŸŽ‰
๐Ÿชด So when did you join Greg? And is there a plant youโ€™re particularly proud of or happy with?? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #SnakePlant #TheWateringHole #brunchataudreys
Great save @MariansOasis !!! Those roots are looking amazing now, and thatโ€™s a good reminder that repotting doesnโ€™t always have to go ๐Ÿ†™ if it doesnโ€™t make sense. I was late watering today too - first day with my boss back this week and I was cooked!! ๐Ÿ˜ช Canโ€™t believe summer is flying past us! I think I joined Greg a little over a year ago now. Iโ€™ve been fawning over this new Lamoon. She grows like a weed and keeps popping new blooms. Wish I could take credit, but Iโ€™ve only had her a few weeks now.
@Jho hi Josh! Oooh first day with boss back! That can be rough, especially if they are even a hint of micro management ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. That begonia is gorgeous!!! Take the credit now, Iโ€™ve killed things in a few weeks lol!๐Ÿคช
@Devsleafypals are you on the list? I donโ€™t think you are, do you want to be? List for #TheWateringHole posts is what I mean ๐Ÿ“‹
@MariansOasis sure! Thanks!
@DreamMachine @princesspitstop @RefinedSandwort @Devsleafypals please add Dev to the Watering Hole list. And @Devsleafypals if you havenโ€™t already *join* the group. ๐Ÿ˜Š
Iโ€™m recently became what Iโ€™d call a real plant person. Iโ€™ve always had an issue with overwatering then of course Iโ€™ve underwatered. Pothos was my only thriving plants. Iโ€™ve done a lot of research into light, water and soil mixtures and have had recent success expanding my collection. I only started using Greg this month I think my Jades are my favorite
.
@StaunchPuriri22 oh the overwater that leads to the fearful underwater syndrome! ๐Ÿ˜† Iโ€™m a recovering โ€˜over waterer โžก๏ธ underwateringโ€™ plant parent! Out of my underwatering phase for several months now. My plants are once again doing a happy dance ๐Ÿ’ƒ ๐Ÿชฉ ๐Ÿ•บ of growing ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ
Welcome to Greg! Youll be tempted everywhere to expand your collection more! ๐Ÿ’ธ ๐Ÿชด ๐Ÿ’ฐ Laughing but serious too! Youโ€™ll see so many beautiful plants and helpful advice on Greg. Itโ€™s good you enjoy researching ๐Ÿ”ฌ Thereโ€™s a lot of misinformation on the web so be aware. I like your charts but I take exception to the (almost) Zero Light one. Yes those plants will exist in low light but they will slowly die of starvation. Sun is food for plants and without it they will not thrive. โ˜€๏ธ ๐Ÿชด
@MariansOasis those are some beautiful roots
@Jho Josh the color is grand love it ๐Ÿฅฐ
@StaunchPuriri22 thanks for the guide I need it. I buy because they are cute nice leave shape. Loving your jade. I love them they donโ€™t love me.

@FitBrowallia Jonchel, fair warning - LIC Plant Market is on Sunday the 23rd! ๐ŸŒฑ ๐Ÿฅณ
@Jho I know I see that. Trying to figure out how I can fit it in between dropping my daughter to college in LIC. Have to figure out how far apart they are
