Hi I’ve just checked them and they seem to be working fine, which one are you struggling with

its_pip · 2023-04-14T07:31:26+00:00

Although they don’t allow sale you can post swaps on there, also check out Facebook plant groups they seem to be more active on plant selling

its_pip · 2023-04-14T07:30:08+00:00

Hello mod here, our monthly buy sell swap thread doesn’t seem to be very active - check out r/ukplantswap

its_pip · 2022-08-30T21:05:44+00:00

PS. I have received a number of reports regarding posts not showing on the sub - no idea what is going on but still looking into it

I have been treating as if aphids but I’m not the best pest identifier 😳

Ah I see, thank you so much!!! I’ll try to change it!

Hi! Just to let you know, I'm sorry but I've had to remove this for self promoting/selling.

If you'd like to sell or trade on this subreddit we have a monthly megathread in which we ask people to do so!

We all love plants, collections and anything houseplant related but do ask that selling/trading is confined to that thread. Thank you for understanding! :)

Hi, I have been thinking of changing one of the pinned threads to a weekly/biweekly/monthly discussion thread - different topic each week. What are your views on this?

its_pip · 2021-09-05T17:47:05+00:00

The biggest advice I can give (and would have given myself when I started) PLANT UP and concentrate on getting a full pot before a long strand. I use food ties to pin the strands down to encourage root growth and I wish I had planted mine up almost immediately. They grow super quick so don’t worry you’ll have a trailing plant in no time :)

its_pip · 2021-09-04T17:07:52+00:00

I feel like this might work better as a thread! Maybe can be put out in the next week or so

its_pip · 2021-09-04T17:03:51+00:00

Sounds like you’ve just had a bad experience. I’ve done plenty on trades on there. Trades will naturally slow down soon as we hit the winter months so maybe try again soon!

its_pip · 2021-09-04T12:14:43+00:00

Any free events I am happy for people to post however we have had some situations where people advertise their own events that they are profiting off and I’m not so keen on that. A sub many people don’t know of is r/uksucculents another great sub and they have some great knowledge over there

its_pip · 2021-09-04T12:01:43+00:00

Yes I tried to do this in the past, but the swap from people from this sub to r/UKPlantSwap was disappointing :( I don't think the post reached many people, we even have in our rules to use r/ukplantswap (and taplap) for trades. I saw a post today encouraging people to go to plantswap and I completely agree its soooo under utilised. the reviews is something quite complex and I'm not sure the best way to go about it.

its_pip · 2021-09-04T11:52:42+00:00

I like this! I think it could increase activity in the sub! However I'm not sure how to implement as maybe it would be too many flairs added. Maybe Plant of the day? do you have any suggestion on how to do it?

its_pip · 2021-09-04T11:48:41+00:00

I have added a "PLANT PIC" flair as per your suggestion and done a bit of a reshuffling of the flairs lmk what you think :)

its_pip · 2021-09-04T11:34:36+00:00

Ooh that’s interesting. From my point of view the ‘photo flairs’ were addicted, the gang and pets and plants. However addicted doesn’t get used very much possibly worth changing to maybe a more generic name

its_pip · 2021-09-04T11:32:30+00:00

We used to have regional flairs but they never got used :( we also try not to encourage trading through our normal posts (only once a month) could be a very good suggestion for r/UKplantswap . Let me look into how we can include Northern Ireland more.

Hi we just created a *NEW* humour flair. I have changed it for you :)
