Houseplants - organising their care

27 replies

Not sure if this should be in Gardening, or Home Decoration... anyway.

I have acquired a number of houseplants and, by trial and error, I am learning about the best ways to care for them. I'm wondering if anyone has a good way of tracking / organising houseplant care when they have different needs? some need watered often, others infrequently, so need misted often, other not at all. Do you just keep all that info in your head and remember when you last watered / misted / fed them?

Any tips?

I love plants and have quite a few. I have been keeping all the info in my head and mostly just stick my finger in the soil and water if the first inch or two (depending on the plant) is completely dry.

I mist most days and have them in little groups.

Keeping them out of direct sunlight in a light flooded apartment is a bit trickier 😁

Going to investigate this app as I was going to start a little notebook instead. My worry is when I am away and have to get someone to water them so perhaps a book is better.

Does anyone else attribute different personalities to their plants. Mine have names and are different even if the same plant type 😁

PS does anyone else have any "pups" they are going to pot separately? I am keeping an eye on a little one in my Chinese money plant. I potted a larger pup a month ago and it seems to be thriving.
