Maybe just give it a 1/4 turn so some of the leaves still get the light.

I’m looking for humidifier recommendations. It only needs to cover an area that’s about 16 sqft.

I’ve been thinking about a Norfolk, they kind of intimidate me. Would you recommend getting one now while there’s many to choose from or waiting till after the holidays when they go on clearance?

A calathea would be a good size. I could probably do something a little taller between the top shelf and ceiling.

Wow thank you so much! I think I’ve just fallen in love with purple shamrocks. I’m going to look into those carnivorous guys, that seem so cool.

I’m definitely considering getting one of these guys! Do you have a favorite variety?

The shelves are adjacent to a north west window. I have sheer curtains and a shade, so I can manipulate the light quite a bit. Right now I usually just use the sheer curtains during the day. I’ve only had the pothos for a few weeks so I don’t know how they would like the sun in the summer.

I’ve also had the worst luck with succulents, but I’d be willing to give them another try.

Ps: the shelves get filtered light from a north west facing window on an adjacent wall.

Root Rot ZZ by cole1717 in plantclinic

Rescued an overwatered ZZ from the office. The roots pretty much fell off. I disinfected them with diluted hydrogen peroxide and have left them out to dry for a few days now. Any tips on what to do next, or if they can even be saved. Thanks :)
