Getting the potting mix for Lithops right is so confusing. I found some sand that I thought I would mix in because I like the color of it and its big enough that I can easily pick out each individual grain in the container, I'm second guessing myself.
Anybody here actually keep Lithops?

1 of my 34 chili seedlings have survived from last year as I went through a gauntlet of trial and error growing for the first time. It is currently in a 1L pot indoors but I am now planning to re-pot it into a larger one in time for last frost so I can leave it outdoors for the remainder of spring and summer.My question is though is HOW big should the new pot be?Everywhere says 10L - 20L is ideal and I already have a 15L pot on hand, but apparently chilis will grow as big as the pot is wide and that you can go 30L+ for high yields. I want to be able to overwinter it indoors as the cold here kills chilis late autumn to winter so I can't just dump it in a 300L growbag and call it a day, but at the sametime I would like a nice high yield chili plant. Is there diminishing returns the bigger you go?

Should I be worried about a bunch of clearly visible, fast-moving black/red mites running around on my plant? The only webbing I see is regular spider threads.
Aren't spider mites sedentary and hidey? If they just eat plant juice theu'd have no reason to run around in the open, right?

Ok, well I suppose my first attempt at growing something from seed was not a total failure. I planted around 3 seeds per cup and only got these two guys to grow. My question is, what now. Do I just leave them there and water them appropriately or are they going to grow super fast and outgrow their container so I have to do something. The one on the left is Ginkgo biloba and the one on the right is a Japanese maple, I picked the seeds myself.

What I find funny is that the golden age of horticulture and gardening was during colonial times where niggas would literally dress up as chinese serfs to smuggle themselves to china to get more weird looking plants and be held up as heros for it. People trying to grow new world plants in temperature controlled glass structures in shitholes like france or england, all the while crossing plants to create ornamental varieties to show off to their peers. But now you have spergs pretending to be trad gardeners through performative freak outs over people liking weird plants in threads like these.

What is the purpose of a greenhouse if it's cloudy whenever it's cold
I'm in Canada and I can't remember the last time there was a snowy day that had sunlight
And wouldn't a warm greenhouse on a cloudy day just be a recipe for etiolation?
And wouldn't the block out all the rain without an open roof?
And wouldn't they kill all the wind without openable windows?
But then why have them in a greenhouse?
The FUCK is the point of a greenhouse if it's not like, building-sized and super advanced?

I have monstera yellow marilyn.
Every once in a while there will be new beautiful almost half moon leaf but eventually the pure yellow part of the leaf will start browning from the bottom and will continue to do so until there is no yellow left.
The green part is always fine, even the marbled leaves are fine.
How do I prevent this?
It has nice airy substrate so I don't think it's overwatering, maybe the light is too much? I gave it direct light as there isn't much of it in the room(maybe 3 hours of proper light, rest of the day it's kinda meh, seedlings are always leggy no matter what)

Ever since I have gotten into gardening my perception of being in a suburb surrounded by rural woods and parks has changed a lot. More specifically, I am starting to see the barriers around woodland, streams or public flower beds become very arbitrary and I am growing to disregard the attitude most people seem have around "look don't touch" with that kind of thing. I keep seeing wooded areas and thinking about just planting my own stuff around there, like designated a patch to grow some deep taproot plants like comfrey that people such as ground wardens can mowdown but wont ever be able to get rid of, or plant some root veg like potato where it doesn't really matter if you try to cut them down as they will mostly remain under the ground. I have also been paying a lot more attention to what plants are around me and what I could take whole sale or just cuttings of. Most public plant bed areas are full of native thug flowers, but every house here has a drive or front garden which have more interesting stuff. There is one house I have already bookmarked which has massive poppy flowers which I will be harvesting for seeds when they are ready, but I have already took some neglected cordyline australis from an abandoned house which I am trying to nurse as well as some variegated ivy I have taken cuttings of which I am trying to root. Has anyone else kind of gotten to this perspective with gardening with your surroundings just being kind of free real estate?

Wheres a good place to buy glass for terrariums?
There are huge charity shops near me but they dont really do large glassware (or it goes fast).
Ive never done a terrarium before so Im not sure how small they can be.
My country has a huge pickling and jam(ming?) culture so its not hard to get bigger jars but not sure if theyre big enough for it.
Are closed terrariums easier than open ones? My apartment is very dry (central air system) so Im worried it would dry out.
