Does a thread like this even exist? Anyway... If not... Why don't we post pictures or stuff about our plants, maybe share some ideas and what not?
I'll post some photos maybe tomorrow, but I'm still in the process of fixing how I want my plants to be displayed. I currently have approximately... 30-houseplants?
The majority of them are ~babies~ but I do have a large monstera and a majestic palm, but after doing some reading on the latter, I discovered that they're notoriously hard to care for, even for experienced gardeners and I live in New England so... It's just sitting out on my patio until it dies, haha. I would just rather not deal with it TBH! I do water it, however. It just acts funny and the ends turn brown and nobody has time for that kinda sh!t.
Anyways.
I own these plants (I maybe forgetting some):
Right now, my plants are planted in 5:1:1 potting mix or Al's Gritty Mix. I used diluted Dyna-Gro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 (fertilizer) and Dyna-Gro Pro-tekt 0-0-3 (supplement) on all my plants.
I believe that all of my peperomias, cacti, and succulents are using the gritty mix. My dracaena, pink dalmation and asparagus fern are planted in the gritty mix as well. Everything else is planted in the 5:1:1 mix.
If no one has heard of these mixes, they DRAIN chile. I stopped using that Miracle Gro stuff because it was just holding onto water for days. It's pretty much impossible to overwater with these mixes. Only downside is that if you're using the gritty mix, you'll need to water often. Cacti and succulents would need to be watered usually every 3-4 days.
