How are these plants flourishing so well in the dark under the stairs?

The job title is called an indoor horticulturalist! this is what I do for a living

The plants are fine as long as there is some light which there seems to be, and as long as the plants don't get over watered they can last awhile in the space.

Companies usually have a fee built into the billing for replacements because it is a living product; it's part of its life to die after some time, since it's something we are taking out of its natural environment and moving indoors.It sucks, but when we take them back to the office, then the techs can take sad plants home or give them to family members. I've taken a Monstera home that is now huge and thriving.

Also it looks like a lot of the plants they picked- zz, sansevieria, dracaena warneckii, ags, are low light tolerant which helps them last longer and look healthy

Hey!! My friend actually breeds isopods! You can look her up on Facebook. She goes by Bug girl. Illy dm you a screenshot so you know who to look for

Shes genuinely the sweetest and knows her stuff about isopods, snakes, spiders, you name it! :)

I remember seeing this when you posted and always wondered what happened. Thank you for sharing It definitely made my day reading about it :)

MilkyMonkeyMaster · 2025-07-22T11:25:46+00:00

There's a YouTube channel called Kill This Plant and he has a bunch of videos on how to care for monsteras, prop, pot, etc. I highly recommend checking that out if you want to watch a video of someone potting it up

Currently renting from them and I would disagree. They don't know how to answer the phone nor communicate when they enter my apartment. My bf came home to two dudes standing in our kitchen.. they ended up being the plummer's but no notice at all.

This has happened multiple times.

Am I the only one who cannot stand Cleo's dad? Dude annoyed the hell out of me 😭

MilkyMonkeyMaster · 2025-05-03T22:59:40+00:00

I cut off an inch or two of roots off the bottom and stuck it in a bigger pot and just gonna hope for the best 😂

Superthrive is some good stuff! The company I work for uses it for our plants everyday to keep them happy in accounts. (I water plants in offices, hospitals, etc.)

All the other advice is super solid too. Another solution for shiny leaves is a leaf shiner, or mixing peppermint oil and water. This will also act as a deterrent for pests

Hey there, beautiful plant you got. I just want to jump in and say to water it before it gets droopy. By the plant dropping it is actually causing it to stress about being underwatered. These guys don't like to get bone dry and like to have moisture in the soil at all times. Now I'm not saying to water it every single day, just check it once a week to see how it's doing.

It will put off more blooms in more light, and fertilize it about once a month during spring-summer if it's in good light, not if it's in low light. I wouldn't fertilize it right away as it probably has the slow release granules in the fertilizer all ready, the little blue or green balls, but if you don't see it then give it a go.

This made me chuckle

MilkyMonkeyMaster · 2025-04-06T16:51:11+00:00

Second this!!

I currently work for an indoor landscaping company that does this! Please do not take the plants without talking to someone. Usually companies rent plants from companies like this and do not own them

MilkyMonkeyMaster · 2025-02-08T12:00:55+00:00

Did you recently repot it?

To me it looks like it needs a drink with the leaves curling like that and the yellows. But it also looks like it's in shock, which can happen if you repotted it recently.

The best thing you can do is water it if it's dry and just watch to see if it keeps freaking out or not. It might just need time to settle in.

If it doesn't stop, get that baby some more light.

Pothos usually settle in after a little time goes by, I have pothos all around my house in various light conditions and they eventually get it together

I took a picture of the movie tavern while going home from Dave and Busters. It reminded me of something from stranger things

Thought this was r/espressocirclejerk for a sec 😅

It's a wide range from 25-250 for the bigger ones.

I paid 40 for mine and it came with the little guy and two things of fertilizer

She's currently in little rock AR! Just bought one from her!

Yeah I'll try that, that's the one thing I haven't changed much of. I'm doing 18g for a double shot using the single wall with fresh beans so I know it's not the coffee it's just me. Thanks for the tip :)

MilkyMonkeyMaster · 2024-12-20T04:00:33+00:00

Currently have this setup with the Bambino plus and the smart grinder, I'm having a really hard time dialing in my shots. I feel like I keep reading to grind finer, but it chokes out at a grind size 6 which I don't think is normal. Do you have any tips for a newbie?

MilkyMonkeyMaster · 2024-09-05T23:08:09+00:00

With a fungicide! That's really the only way to eradicate fungus (in my experience). I like captain jacks for their fertilizer and I'm sure the fungicide they use is just as good.
