what are some good affirmations I can tell my plants everyday?

I dont get how you can overfeed vfts Like I've been to a bog, there's more insects than plants I know you can overfertilize regular plants, but carnivores are literally designed to attract insects constantly, at all times. Producing nectar or being bright red or whatever they do is just part of their healthy growth patterns, they physically can't refuse a meal they catch. Feels like another myth from people keeping them in windows or thinking a 3000fc grow light is strong because it looks bright, so they couldn't handle the food As far as I've seen everyone just sources a single forum post where a guy said he starved them, fed every trap, and then they made smaller traps

I don't think you can overfeed VFTs desu

I was proud of my plants for being their tiny, tiny carbon sequestering selves and knowing that every leaf they grew was helping global warming by 0.000000000001 % of 0.000000000000000000000000001% but I recently learned that there literally is not enough space on the entire earth for plants to even make a difference in co2 levels and thats very depressing

Are aerial roots a permanent sign of your failture or will they reabsorb them? Is it like a flower stalk where if you snip them down they'll take the hint? They're my one exception to my 'oh beauty of nature let them grow how they want' bullshit

ok the third time is apparently the actual charm, i'm ready to start considering them established it's not nearly this yellow in real life should i buy springtails for the sundews or will they be fine for another month or 2 (or 3)? the pitchers don't seem to be physically capable of catching anything yet which makes me think seedlings don't need much food, but sundews aren't seedlings the algae also means there's nitrogen and such in the moss, so will that be enough for them to grow off of for a long while? springtails are stupidly expensive for literally no reason, it should be literal cents for a colony and yet they're only sold in cups for like 10 dollars, even on marketplaces

I killed 2 lithops today Don't be misled by online diagrams like me, they don't do 3 month cycles with the seasons you can see, they will literally sit there growing their new leaves inside for like, an entire year, split, and then do it again. If they're not rotten, they're not dead.

Thoughts on my two favourite Forget-Me-Nots?

Anon01/23/26, 16:26No.5095169

Should I just fertilize my plants and not care that it's bad for the environment in the same way that an individual person's carbon footprint is literally nothing compared to an oil company's, where my drops of fertilizer running out of a 10 inch pot are nothing compared to the metric tons that farmers wash over their plants constantly

Is an offshoot a clone or just a new growth point? If you put one plant in a pot and it fills it with offshoots or runners is it still accurate to say its one plant? Is the cutoff just if it's still connected? Are they easy to remove because they're "supposed" to come off or do we just find it easy to rip them apart because we're big and strong?

You guys ever get struck with the feeling that you only really care about a few of your plants and you wouldnt mind if you had to get rid of the rest

Anon01/27/26, 01:41No.5096325

Nothing about the plant industry makes any fucking sense Nurseries want plants to grow as fast as possible for as cheap as possible so they exclusively use peat you know, peat, the soil that is so devoid of nutrients carnivores grow in it. Peat that is also very absorbent and retains a ton of water And they'll grow succulents in these, like, primarily succulents, because that's what plant normies like These succulents that are never sun stressed and nearly always etiolated to a degree so the peat surely wouldn't dry out and they'd start rotting but they get them to massive sizes before shipping them out, somehow, despite giving them bad light and using garbage soil??? and if peat has no nutrients, why is there an entire industry built around destroying wetlands to harvest it?????

I have gollum jade plant (Crassula ovata gollum), but it is mostly not gollum, but normal jade (flat leaves). I read this can happen, the gollum reverts back to normal. However there are few leaves that are gollum type (cylinder shape). If I snip a leaf like that and root it, what are the chances it becomes a complete gollum jade plant? Any other ideas what to do? I dont really care about normal jade, I just want the gollum variety.

I kind of want a philodendron however it seems they want high humidity. My humidity never really goes above 37%. Will it be too miserable to even attempt?

Ok im gonna try for like the 5th time to propogate an echeveria leaf from the grocery store Are there ANY tricks beyond the basic knowledge and rolling a die? Oldest leaves? Biggest leaves? Can they get too much light to root? Do they need to be touching dirt? Will sticking it in after they callous help? Its so simple but it never works for me
