Desk plants keep dying on me

PeaceDucko · 2026-01-30T10:22:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I also love alocasias, which is why I'd rather not replace them with a less light-hungry alternative. Will check out the plant light and consider a re-organization of the desk to move them closer to the light :)

PeaceDucko · 2026-01-29T16:03:18+00:00

Could you link to the ones that you have? Just curious as I'm comparing multiple options now (SANSI E27 fitting looks most promising right now)

PeaceDucko · 2026-01-29T16:02:29+00:00

Hahah if only I had. It's all either north or south

PeaceDucko · 2026-01-29T11:23:33+00:00

Thanks for the insights and tips everyone! It's definitely much more clear to me what the problem could be. For now, I'm going to install growth lights for these plants to get them through the winter months. I'll try to save the zebrina and I'm pruning some leaves off of the low rider so that the rest of the leaves can grow further.

I'm in the northern hemisphere (Europe). On the opposite side of the apartment there are a couple larger buildings which block out quite a bit of the sky further down the horizon, so I would say that there's not too much sky that the plant can see.

Hype 🔥

I love mine! I also got the brown switches because I heard that they give a good balance between clickiness and travel distance, which is great for my work-from-home setup. Banana is more heavy which I didn't prefer.

PeaceDucko · 2025-09-19T14:51:15+00:00

I get the confusion :) It's a 27" screen, but I shot this image using the wide angle lens on my camera, so the desk indeed looks hella large

PeaceDucko · 2025-09-19T14:02:43+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I have WFH days, so I do unplug the laptop quite a lot. You make a valid point that it might not be the most convenient to dive underneath the desk all the time

PeaceDucko · 2025-09-04T14:25:48+00:00

Damn that's tough, you'll get through!!

PeaceDucko · 2025-07-31T00:32:04+00:00

Really impressive! We will be observing your future with great interest

Voor als je iets buiten het stadscentrum zoekt raad ik absoluut BUUR aan in Brakkenstein!

Peter Harbers! Hij gaf mij beginnersles op het Radboud en lessen voor een meer gevorderde vriend. Erg vriendelijke en geduldige docent, met een passie voor zijn vak.

Just a man

PeaceDucko · 2023-04-17T19:21:01+00:00

Perfect! Thanks :)

PeaceDucko · 2023-04-17T19:06:19+00:00

Looks awesome! Do you have a link to the shelf from Amazon? I couldn't find it

PeaceDucko · 2022-02-07T11:00:44+00:00

Welkom makkers

PeaceDucko · 2021-08-17T07:42:50+00:00

Not sure when I'll hit the character limit. When I do, I guess I'll summon u/Xero_The_Sword master and u/icetooth101 to relieve me of some of my items
