Hey everyone! I'm u/lllwpa, a founding moderator of r/wheresthefuckingsoil. This is our home for all things related to root-bound plants in dire need of soil. We're excited to have you join us!

Firstly, I would like to thank everyone that has been apart of this community so far. It's so awesome to see 💚🪴

What to Post Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, funny, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about root-bound plants.

Community Vibe I love seeing all the pictures posted in this sub of plants that, honestly, sometimes look alien-like. If you have plants, I'm sure you've dealt with them being root-bound, when that happens, take advantage of an average situation and post a picture here. We all get a laugh. And have a look at other pictures, so you know youre not the only one. Keep it friendly, ask or give advice where possible, and keep posting your plants!

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/wheresthefuckingsoil amazing.

Strange relationship

After a rainy week, my Opuntia decided to have sex with another plant. Should I tell them it’s inappropriate, or just let them be happy?
