I went to college for this

Allow me to yap about plants

[autistic-about-plants]

Intro post:

Hello! My name is Sunny! I am a professional horticulturist with an associates degree in greenhouse operations! I love plants a lot! I have auDHD and I'm dyslexic. I'm also female, use she/her pronouns, and am a Christian. I only do indoor gardening as I live in an apartment. I do work at a local greenhouse.

If I just disappear during the spring and winter months, I promise I'll be back. Spring is busy season at the greenhouse I work at which leads to a lot of burnout and I often lose interest in gardening in the winter just because all the plants are gone and there's no new indoor plants to buy at my local plant places.

Regardless, I heavily encourage asks for any plant based questions such as:

Plant nutrient

Plant growth habits

Disease or pest questions

Sickly plant help

Plant care advice

Simply showing off a plant

Plant resource suggestions

And just about anything plant related.

10/10 fern. Very nice fern

Word of the wise: Don't impulse buy 3 fancy begonias and a sickly orchid when you have no idea what you're doing. Because I did. And I have no idea what I'm doing. The chances of me wasting 70 bucks is high. Was it worth it? Oh hell yeah! Half the fun is researching and trying my best to keep them alive. I love a challenge and problem solving. But if that isn't your cup of tea and/or you don't have 70 bucks to blow on something stupid, don't do this (especially if you don't have an employee discount like me lol)

How do people just have houseplants and not get obsessive about them? Like they are just decoration in your house? You don't think of them as your children who all need individualized care and attention? Sus 😒

Tiger Tooth Aloe - Update: Fresh Roots!!

This is the one I had in that small glass by itself!! It's been just over a week! I've put it in a pot now, hopefully it will thrive!

Sadly some of the others didn't make it, I'm not sure if they needed more space in the water or if they were just in a worse state already.

Welcome to everyone's favorite game show:

Who's that Pest/Disease

Where I show you pictures of a pest or disease I found at work and teach you how to identify them.

Today's pest is: Cabbage Looper

Admittedly, the egg picture and the butterfly picture are not pictures taken by me but I deemed it necessary y'all know what these other stages of life look like.

The cabbage looper is most destructive at the caterpillar stage. They eat just about every kind of vegetable. Peppers, cabbages, lettuce, collards, etc. The caterpillar you see in the picture is a chunky boi and probably close to pupating. Normally they are much smaller and harder to spot. But I'll tell you the easiest ways to find these buggers. First, if you see Cabbage White Butterflies fluttering around your vegetables, look in the area that they were. You may just find an egg. Second, watch out for any damaged leaves. Specifically look for chewing damage. Once you've located chewing damage, look towards the center of the plant. Most caterpillars hide there so predators can't find them and the most succulent growth is there. Third, keep an eye out for caterpillar poo. Those bad bois poo A LOT. These are the easiest ways to find a cabbage looper. The earlier you find them, the better. These bad bois can demolish your vegetables if you aren't careful. Remember to keep up with proper IPM practices and happy planting 💖🌱

My bambino baby seems to have a new leaf coming in as well! He's so tiny I can't really see well enough to tell for sure but he's definitely happy!
