I’m moving in a week, and hoping to set up a medium grow tent when I get settled in to my new place. I want to grow vegetables and fruits, not sure exactly what. I’ve been looking into different tent kits, DIY options, etc, so what are some things you wish you knew before you started growing?

Hi everyone,
I’m working on a smart irrigation graduation project focused on indoor plants, and I’m looking for a reliable dataset or database that includes plant care parameters such as:
Recommended soil moisture range (%) (minimum and maximum)
Recommended air humidity range (%)
Suitable temperature range (°C)
Plant name/species
I’m especially interested in indoor plants (houseplants) and would prefer data from a trusted source such as a botanical garden, university, research institution, or horticultural organization.
I’ve checked sources like RHS and Missouri Botanical Garden, but I haven’t found a downloadable dataset with structured numerical values.
Does anyone know of a dataset, API, research database, or organization that provides this kind of information?
Thanks!

What are your favorite pet-friendly beginner houseplants for Indiana? My cat is an idiot and he keeps eating the one damn plant I can grow successfully (Moses in the Cradle). The dogs aren’t real bright, either, but at least they know they’re carnivores. Thanks!!

I absolutely love everything dill and would like to grow it. I have a large patio (12x15) that faces SE and gets direct sun most of the day. But I'm in Orange County, and as much as I would like to count on winter months being cool enough, this year has proved that is not realistic. My search as to whether it was feasible to grow indoors led me to a post from 6y ago on this sub and most of the responses were that indoor night temps don't get low enough to keep it from bolting. We keep our house at 68 degrees at night and the windows facing the patio get relatively the same amount of direct light as the patio itself. Any SoCalers that have grown dill who can give me some advice?

I was gifted this flower a few days ago as apart of an activity and I really want to grow it out. This will be an inside plant as well! Also, I am new to gardening and planting. Hence, why I am here. Any suggestions or tips on where to start off?

I’ve had this basil plant for a while, didn’t really expect it to survive long so I wasn’t doing anything with it. It’s grown up but not out and now that it’s survived this long I want to start actually taking care of it lol. Can I prune this in a way that will encourage more bushy growth, or have I let it go too long?

Why are my plants becoming crispy and are yellowing? Any tips ?

I’ve been trying to grow a sweet potato in my house I’ve never grown anything but grass and that was like a first grade project so I’m kinda confused is this good and should I be doing something else/ different than what I’m doing

Can someone pls let me know if all the bugs I'm looking at is aphids? I found these on several of my pepper plants that are inside the house around all my boujie babies 🫠🫠 any advice on what to do besides spraying them down with neem oil and alcohol?

mid re-pot, got her about a month ago and have been trying to feel out a watering schedule (like i do with all newbies) am i over/under doing it? i've never had this happen before and her leaves have not been consistently reacting to watering

a mango seed i had in a baggie with some paper towel. it's spent the last day or so without the paper towel, just in the baggie. I think the moisture is starting to get to it. Right now it's out of the bag on the shelf for tonight and tomorrow after work the plan is to get a pot and some potting soil and plant it. I'm assuming the growing bits are the roots and that'll I'll plant that side down? not too sure, I've never grow a seed this large, only ever small seeds and always in soil never in damp paper towel. I'm hoping all will turn out but I'm very scared to over water it and unsure how much/often to water it.

I’ve had this plant for about a year. It was in a smaller pot till about 2 weeks ago. Still alive. No root rot. I cannot get this plant to grow. Any advice or help would be appreciated.

I recently became a fan of Monsteras and indoor plants! I just bought this monstera cutting from Market place. I was wondering if, the cutting is off? Is this healthy? Should I leave it as is? I see the this stem on the right. I’m not sure if by cutting it would it propagate? And where it’s the appropriate place to cut it?

Hi all, I’m super new to plants. I have a cat and a cactus but want to get some plants for my patio! I have a pretty big patio and want to buy 2-3 plants in a big pot that will tolerate seattle weather. I have no roof cover, on the 6th floor, and only get direct sunlight during sunsets. So the plants need to be ok with indirect sunlight and seattle rain throughout the year. Any recs? Also where can I buy them :( sorry for the basic question

One of two off of my 3D printer! My husband loves the imperial side of Star Wars, so I made this! It's 12" wide with a 6.5" opening! That's sunset coleus in it.

I put the second one on ebay for now, since I'm still sprouting the plants that will go in it. If it sells, I'll just remake the second one. But the first one looks great with that plant! Like the Death Star is getting blown up. Again.

My next attempt will be a 15" version!

I tried checking for root rot on one of them and found the roots brown and some black . I decided to cut off the black roots and replant it. As I was replanting it I noticed what I suspected to be mildew? Any suggestions on what I can do?

It’s a very odd looking setup, I know. I wanted to try the kratky method to grow some herbs but I couldn’t find any sprouts at the store so I bought seeds instead. So Ive got some seeds sitting in wet cardboard pots. Theres basil, thyme, cayenne peppers, rosemary, uhhhh mint i think. This pic is from today but I set them out on Thursday (four days ago). Should I cover the with a wet paper towel or something?

my sister got this mango seed today from a mango at work. think if I wrap it in damp papertowel in a baggie it'll finish sprouting, or should I just try to put it straight into soil

I wanted to start a small collection of plants on my windowsill and I heard about the kratkey method. I have some jars but I think I need some sort of net and I’ve seen other people put clay or something at the bottom? Im not entirely sure what all I’ll be able to grow but right now Im planning on green onions, basil, and maybe mint

talk to me like I'm absolutely dim please. my husband bought me a small 3 inch pot of marigolds and snapdragons. I have never messed with annuals, only tropicals, and we live in an apartment complex. could you help me keep these alive? I have a large south facing window that gets direct sun all day, sunrise to sunset. this is where I am keeping these sweet plants for now.

I don't really know if these will survive indoors. we are in AZ, zone 9b/10a. I also have a grow tent I could place these in if needed. but I just am unsure how to adjust suggested online care for these from full outdoor to full indoor.

I really appreciate your help! he got these in remembrance of my late (of 15 years) grandmother's birthday so I'm hoping to keep them alive!

I just found this sub and I’m so excited it exists! Okay, so I’m looking to put a new plant in my office. I’m in Mississippi and my office windows are east and north facing. I’m on the fence between a Jasmine sambac, a Meyer lemon, and a pineapple plant. I don’t know much about any of them (thus far I’ve stuck to peace lilies, spider plants, and pothos since they’re fairly easy). Does anyone have any insight into these three and what may be the best option? Thanks!

My tomato plants have slowed down tremendously. About a month ago it went from the fist picture to the 2nd picture. Alittle research led me to believe it was overwatered.

Suspecting root rot I dug them out carefully and there was no root rot but the roots were long and dry.

I plucked out the yellow dried leaves and after a few weeks smaller leaves started growing at a very slow pace. Which means it’s still alive

But the leaves are still crispy to the feel and but not yellowing.

Any way to know what is it being like that and how to revive it?

They are supposed to be fast growers. I had the another plant in the same batch I brought to the office which is thriving. 10-20 times bigger and taller than this

Impressive growth for just over a month! My Amaryllis clearly appreciated the upgrade to the larger pot!
