That would absolutely be worthwhile of interest, one post a day is FAR from spammy

All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Thanks for the insight! I was worried since lemmy is still kicking off if overflowing communities would be a bother but then I guess it's better to Kickstart things too.
Ah, that's going to be fixed with lemmy 0.18, which has already been released, beehaw should be adding it around tuesday.
So, i'd say don't even worry about it!
Oh yeah, I'm on .ml, I think they already did 1.8. Jeroba has finally stopped being so buggy for me. Though...I do worry some of the things being said about .ml. I'm just a take it as it comes kinda person.
It is run by self-proclaimed tankies, unfortunately. That's why I moved to beehaw.
That's what people have been saying, yeah. I just hope it doesn't effect defederation for the instance, though I'm sure it eventually will with some instances. Perhaps they'll work on a migration feature in the future, once we all get through the rocky road transition. :)
Oh, no, it's not something people have been saying, it's an open fact. They'll gladly admit to it. this is a post from the lead dev:
I understand and acknowledge that now, but I'm not quite sure this is the place for that discussion. I appreciate and thank you for providing a source for review however.
Fair, sorry for getting offtopic, NP!
No worries. It was my own rambling that led us to it :)
one post a day is definitely fine here, especially with some information for each--we get plenty of posts here, and i'm sure a lot of people would find it quite nice :)
Great! I was wondering if it would be better for a houseplants category but I think I'd just be happy to share what facts I accumulated over time lol.
I'll be looking forward to learning your facts!
If you have a pet try and place them subtly in the background in all photos
Fuck yeah, let’s go!
On another note: do you have some sort of irrigation system set up, or are you watering manually?
No, they're all done manually. Irrigation systems are mainly meant for outdoors or "true grow rooms," I'm just a lady that has a ton of potted plants scattered throughout the house haha.
I always seem to overwater, so I’d love on-site on how OP manages watering.
Not the OP, but I water weekly (I picked Sunday) and you get on board or die. (No one has died.)

We have a lot more plants than OP (over 400), and my partner swears by the Planta app. A lot of our's are outside, so in the summer it would be so much more work if we didn't have something to track them.

I'd also like to know this.
I vote yes
I have over 170 house plants
How many houses do you have?
I assume they don't have much space left for them self anymore:
It's funny in some places you're not far off especially with the big ones lol! But no, a lot of them are in really small pots, and I have a lot of juvenile plants, but once they grow up to adulthood I'm definitely going to need to repurpose another room...
Aw they're so happy there among their plamps
That person looks pot bound!
This is amazing lmao
I’d be interested in that!
This would be really cool!
Could you also include details like what type of light and intensity does best as well as if it's toxic for pets?
Of course!
I agree this would be appreciated.
And if people feel like its spammy, or you decide you don't want to continue, you can always stop some time before the 170 days it up. :)
I would like to see this to be honest. I find I am fine at keeping things alive in the ground, but indoors things die eventually.
I'm intimidated to start with houseplants but would likely use this as a push to do so. Please do share
Go ahead, I would suggest adding your personal touch. Opinions, anecdotes, trivia etc. Someone with a vast collection as your probably has interesting things to add.
That's good idea. Thank you for the recommendation :)
Please do! That's not spammy, that's like a daily bite sized lesson!
That sounds great! Maybe have a name for the series so that people know to look for your other posts.
Incidentally though, if there is a houseplant community please let me know. I got a bonsai for my birthday and I really don't want to kill it

I think it'd only be spammy if you did all 170 in one day, but it would also be pretty impressive!
I'd love to see your plants and learn how you take care of them!
Lol, I certainly don't have the energy (or time) for that!
That sounds fun! I was actually thinking about doing something similar, but only about a few ones I think are special. Would love to see it.
Edit: what I mean is, I think it'd be interesting content, not that I'm in any way trying to "compete"!

Sounds like great contents!
I’d find it very interesting!
I need this so bad, the only plants I can keep alive are orchids (both are two years old now) and I want to have other things but they always just die so fast.
That's funny, out of all the plants I have, I've never owned an orchid because (ironically) I've been concerned about their care! I know now they're nothing to be scared of but I had that mindset when I first started collecting and I guess it just stuck lol.
