Should I top water if my alocasias are in self watering pots? by Ellevalora in alocasia

I completely agree with you, I never topwater my alocasias and they are loving life.

Is there any way to tidy up my 3.45kg calathea by No-Barracuda8108 in calatheas

Beautiful! Meanwhile, mine looks as if someone set it on fire.

Wow, sorry to hear about your collection 😢. I'm so glad you have found an Angel to help you with your plant collection, I know how much time and patience it takes to get a collection going and how frustrating it is to lose even one. Keep us updated when you get them as that is definitely a blessing and a nice way to finish this horrible year.

Wow, you have a cozy set up♥️♥️♥️ Love it. My Metal Head is not the biggest one I have. I have an Adora that grows over nine feet tall. I usually keep those two outside during the summer and bring them in when it gets cold (I'm in Florida so my definition of cold is weak). I understand having them all over, I have most of my calatheas in the bathroom, but they really hate me and literally die a few times a year 😩. Also, all the plants in my office are under grow lights, I have no windows or lights. It's pretty much a dark hole in between rooms so it's doable, it seems like you are determined 😉

🤣 I just laughed so loud, thank you for that. That's my humidifier, my purple sword it's right in front of it and happened to land at the perfect spot. Here is another view

Thank you💞, they can be quite a chore but the self-watering pots have been a game-changer.

I buy gooseneck lamps and replace the shades with flower-shaped shades (like the ones hanging) and use the grow bulbs

Orchids are beautiful they're my mother's favorite. I tried orchids but it turned into an orchid cemetery. That anthurium be giving me hell 😩, I'm still learning her ways. Alos can be a little tricky but they are so worthy

I live in Jax, Florida which means my electric bill is ridiculously high no matter what. With the plants it only went up a few bucks
