>Water them when they start to look sad. After a while you'll get a feel for how long it takes before they get sad, and you'll be able to water them on instinct. Don't water too often, because then the plants will really suffer if you forget to water them just once.
>Use cheap potting mix for everything that isn't epiphytic or succulent (although even many succulents are actually rainforest plants that survived deforestation and desertification, and those will grow better in cheap potting mix than inorganic succulent mixes).

'>>4774054

The point is that they aren't roots in the first place. A runner is more like a really low branch that wants to get as far away from the mother plant as possible. It can produce roots and will produce them at the growing tip, but it isn't itself a root.

>I'm talking about perfect growing conditions so the plant benefits better
Perfect growing conditions are set by light and water. Soil type is completely superfluous to weedy aroids. If you ask 100 (professional) growers what the perfect soil for a specific plant is, you'll get 101 different answers. Some will swear that the pH needs to be exactly this or that value and anything above or below will kill the plants, others will say the pH is irrelevant but you need to have x amount of this or that micronutrient in the soil, others will ramble on about the exact ratio of perlite to peat, and so on. Don't worry about soil.';

Nigga that's literally the definition of an aerial root, and mine didn't produced roots from the tip rather all over when I put the soil mix over it

>Soil type is completely superfluous to weedy aroid

You have to be kidding, this is just wrong, in nature there is ALWAYS better material and worse material

It's literally all about chemicals and nutrient transmission/retention

You're just wrong here knee grow I'm sorry

Plant MUST have perfect soil they don't breathe air and water, yes they can survive but soil is what stores the most amount of nutrients a plant needs

Even for cacti I would get perfect soil knowing well they can survive in harsh places, just so it's genes can be expressed to their full potential, and I know for the fact they do IF the soil is perfect

I'm assuming you are referring to an ornamental garden; generally most conifers are evergreen, and evergreens should make up the framework+perimeter of a garden with perennials planted between and around them and annuals on the edges of beds where they are most accessible. More specifically many conifers are tolerant of colder, dryer, poorer soil, higher altitude conditions than deciduous trees. The foliage has very intricate features for those who like the dense textures, and there's a variety of colors, textures, sizes. Many conifers need full sun, and well drained soil, otherwise they'll get root rot, and shade will make some grow very thin, and others not grow at all. That's kinda just general info though so take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks, any idea how I can identify my hydras? Besides AI tools of course?';

'>>4775186
It's a bit of a balancing act and really depends location to location, soil to soil tree to tree. The simplest way to plant conifers is to build up the soil a bit and then make a root ring so that the root flare on the tree is higher than the original ground but the root ring still channels water to the tree and excess water can percolate down away from the root flare. If you plant on top of a mound the surface water might run off away from the tree and then the ground there ends up too dry.';

'>>4775194

Putting my two sense in late into this discussion- someone earlier mentioned looking up the conditions the plant grows in naturally. Frankly, that is the best thing you can do across the board when it comes to cultivating plants, tending to animals, or any living thing you decide to take care of. If you want ideal growing conditions; simulate the soil/light/moisture conditions of its natural environment to the best of your ability. It will take a little research to do so; but you'll get an exact answer as to the soil composition, PH level- microbiome balance, light requirements and moisture requirements to achieve ideal growth before you purchase or set up anything. It isn't extraordinarily difficult and doing so once will make it simple to do for other plants you acquire in the future.';

'>>4775410
>If you want ideal growing conditions; simulate the soil/light/moisture conditions of its natural environment to the best of your ability
I mentioned it because it teaches you a lot about the plants, but there's a small caveat, too. Just because something naturally grows in a certain place doesn't mean that those are the perfect conditions for it. In fact, lots of plants grow in pretty bad conditions, which keeps them in check. If they manage to 'escape' to better conditions, they'll grow much better. For example, in their habitat, they get regularly grazed on, or there are annual wildfires that burn them to the ground. Or, maybe you naturally only find the plant in a certain place, not because the growing conditions there are ideal for it, but because it gets outcompeted by everything else everywhere else, and its habitat is the only place where those other species don't grow. That's one thing, though not unimportant, that you can't find out just by looking up the plant's habitat.

As an example of pointlessly mimicking a plant's natural growing conditions, you'll still find lots of people on the internet and in real life telling you that if you want to grow Darlingtonia, you must set up some ridiculously complicated and expensive watering system that lets ice cold water flow through their roots all day long, because that's what their habitat is like. In fact, Darlingtonia grow much better and are more resilient to heat and cold if you just plant them in the same kind of bog you'd use for Sarracenia.

In general, though, it's always good to learn more about the habitat in order to learn more about the plant.';

Guys, those Dracaenas look disproportionate because they're just sections of the trunk of a much larger tree that have been cut into short lengths and then rooted again.
They're grown to about 30ft tall on plantations in places like Costa Rica, then cut into 6-10ft lengths and crammed into shipping containers to the US and other countries, where they're cut into shorter lengths and re-rooted.
You can do it yourself. Just cut one in half.

If the plant wasn't currently really fucked up, I would post it.

So she just stopped watering it(spidermites love it dry) so spidermites infested it. I had to cut the flowers and a few leaves off that were basically turned into nests, and due to all the dust that accumulated on it, I gently wiped it down with some water to try and clean it up a bit.
What I was unaware of was just how much chlorine was in the tap water(I assume this was the cause, because I genuinely don't know) which caused large portions of all its big leaves to turn brown. Said leaves are still alive, even though its like half of the leaf which surprises me, but it has a new flower coming up and is putting out new leaves.
The plant honestly looks horrible, but spidermites are total bastards.The plant is in exile along with a bonsai that ended up catching them too for being in proximity. Both of them a product of just being neglected.

You are correct but holy shit what a horrible, confusing graphic.

>>4783757
>What about broken terra cotta pots?
If the pot is broken the water will just run/seep out through the cracks so even if gravel did provide extra drainage (it doesn't) you wouldn't need it anyway. Right?

>>4783939
>Should I add worms to my balcony flower pots?
No.
Worms are great in garden beds but they're the very worst thing in pots (apart from a lack of drainage holes).
Your pot plants should be in a nice, fresh, free-draining potting mix that allows water to drain and air to enter.
The roots of your plants need air to survive. If they are stuck in water they drown and rot. If they are stuck in compacted soil that air can't get into they suffocate and rot.
Plants don't have lungs and blood to distribute atmospheric oxygen from the above-ground part of the plant to every single cell in the roots. Roots (in most cases) need some access to atmospheric oxygen from air that penetrates the soil.
What worms do is eat and decompose all the organic matter in the pot so that the structure of the potting mix collapses and turns to anaerobic mud. The mud doesn't let air in or water out. It blocks the drainage holes in the pot and the pot begins to fill up like a fishtank. Bit by bit the roots drown/suffocate and die back and the plant becomes visibly weaker. When you try to compensate by watering more you only make things worse.
It is hard to keep worms out of outdoor pot plants because worms will climb pots and come up through the drainage holes and birds can carry worm eggs in the dirt on their legs and feet, and birds can just drop worms or pieces of worms in your pots.
When repotting plants you should always remove any visible earthworms. If a plant that has been in the same pot for a long time suddenly starts looking sick you should always check the drainage holes to see if they have been blocked by roots or by fucked-up mud created by earthworms.';

'>>4784105
It would more like this. Note that the water concentration for the right pot is slightly higher for a given depth, due to the extra drainage the gravel provides.
When you have a single hole at the bottom of the pot and it's all dirt all the water has to make it's way through the dirt to that single spot to drain out. On the other hand if there's is gravel at the bottom it's as if the whole bottom of the pot was one big hole and the water can drain down from any point in the dirt. After the water is in the gravel the gravel provides little resistance to the water and it can easily drain out through the single hole.';

'>>4784050
Kek you're wrong about worms

The organic matter will decompose in the pot with or without worms

Worms don't produce mud, they produce fertilizer, they exchange the organic matter in the soil for even greater nutrients

They also add space and drainage to the soil so the roots take more oxygen

Earthworms are LITERALLY the reason plants in the wild survive as good as they do, they're one of the most essential part of every ecosystem

They loosen the soil, not compact it, also add air to the soil to breathe

They fertilize the soil, create fertilizer from decaying organic matter

The reasons you shouldn't add worms to pots is because it's completely unnecessary - potting mix is already aerated, so you don't need worms to aerate the soil anymore - and because the worms will either crawl out of the pot or die due to lack of food, or because the soil is too dry.';

It's not check again. In the first graphic the pots have different moisture levels at the same depth. Opposite of my graphic in fact.';

Are these pots cheap.';

You can quite easily experimentally validate it with two sponges.';

Plain unadorned terracotta is probably the cheapest pots beside plastic';

'>>4784857
Terracotta pots are great until you realise their inferior to plastic pots in most ways.
Smaller drainage
Limescale build up
Cost
The terracotta licks moister
Harder to clean
They look nice, that's about it.';

Don't forget terracotta also blows out when frozen, sucks for cold climates. But what if you're a zero-plastic hippy tho, what are the alternatives?';

'Terracotta is the golden standard, simple, durable, beautiful

I can't imagine using something like (((((plastic)))))

Imagine your plants getting fucking micro plastics into their diet just like you, couldn't bare it';

'plastic for moisture loving jungle plants
terracota for less moisture loving desert plants';

The leaves on my tomato plant are being chewed off by something. I'll come out and see one of my young tomato plants completely bald with all its leaves cleanly fallen off. No wilting, no curling, just leaves one day, none the next. I sprayed them with neem oil last night, but I went out this morning and more leaves were gone. Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to stop it?';

Shine a bright light underneath the leaves at night. There may be green caterpillars or other bugs camouflaged on the leaves.';

'i was at a dollar store and despite never having planted a thing in my god damn life, bought some seed packets (flower and herb) and some pots for the herb seeds
im a little confused by some of the tips on the back though, specifically the wildflower mix says the following
>Each fall cut plants back to 2-3 inches above the soil to allow plants to reseed themselves the following season
does that mean cutting them, taking away what i cut and letting the plant chill from then on or do i leave the blooms behind or what
sorry if this question is retarded';

'>>4785292
you are yet to receive and answer';

'>>4785292
Most of these mixes have annuals so they should reseed themselves automatically if you don't cut them down before the seeds ripened and got dispersed which usually happens once they start drying up. I don't quite understand what they mean by cutting them down so that they can reseed, maybe they imply the action of cutting aides in dispersing the seeds more effectively because you shake them around?';
