A better question might be: would it be better suited for a “houseplant” community, since this is more gardening and general nature inspired?

That would absolutely be worthwhile of interest, one post a day is FAR from spammy

Thanks for the insight! I was worried since lemmy is still kicking off if overflowing communities would be a bother but then I guess it’s better to Kickstart things too.

Ah, that’s going to be fixed with lemmy 0.18, which has already been released, beehaw should be adding it around tuesday.

So, i’d say don’t even worry about it!

Oh yeah, I’m on .ml, I think they already did 1.8. Jeroba has finally stopped being so buggy for me. Though…I do worry some of the things being said about .ml. I’m just a take it as it comes kinda person.

one post a day is definitely fine here, especially with some information for each–we get plenty of posts here, and i’m sure a lot of people would find it quite nice :)

Great! I was wondering if it would be better for a houseplants category but I think I’d just be happy to share what facts I accumulated over time lol.

If you have a pet try and place them subtly in the background in all photos

Fuck yeah, let’s go!

On another note: do you have some sort of irrigation system set up, or are you watering manually?

No, they’re all done manually. Irrigation systems are mainly meant for outdoors or “true grow rooms,” I’m just a lady that has a ton of potted plants scattered throughout the house haha.

I always seem to overwater, so I’d love on-site on how OP manages watering.

Not the OP, but I water weekly (I picked Sunday) and you get on board or die. (No one has died.)

I love that! This is what I’ve been doing, except I don’t stick to one day a week but rather water quite… erratically. Take it or leave it, plant.

We have a lot more plants than OP (over 400), and my partner swears by the Planta app. A lot of our’s are outside, so in the summer it would be so much more work if we didn’t have something to track them.

I’m in awe

But YES!!! the planta app is amazing! It’s definitely not to be listened to 100% of the time when it comes to watering, but it is an absolute plant bible!

Oh wow! We have 47 plants right now and that seemed like a lot. I see we were wrong, ha! I also use an app, however I find myself watering outside the schedule all the time… kind of as needed. Need to stick to the schedule more, I imagine it will make it easier.
