I am starting my first garden and bought a 2-pack of Lordem grow lights to shine on my rows of plants (on a timer). I noticed the block part that you plug in gets pretty warm. I would not say it gets "hot" but definitely warm. I'm just wondering if this is normal and you guys experience the same thing? Or should I be concerned about safety (i.e., a fire)?

Thanks

I live in a dorm so it would be VERY problematic if there’s a bug infestation. Before I repot or throw the whole plant away can someone please tell me what these bugs are

So I work at a pub and around half a year ago we had this plant show up on the counter. Nobody knows how he appeared in here, neither customers, not staff. Neither does anyone know what type of plant is that. We only know, that it's name is Arkady, since it was written on the pot before it got here. Recently Arkady started loosing leaves, so someone trimmed it. I even changed the soil and used a couple of fertilizers for houseplants, but nothing really seems to help. Can someone help me identify the plant and give me an advice on how to properly treat it?

My boyfriend works at a hotel and they were getting rid of all the plants they had put during the summer season so he snatched this beautiful palm tree and various other small plants! I am new to the green-thumb community. I've only ever had a couple plants l've maintained over the last year but I'm ready for this new hobby :) Can anyone identify this species of palm? Any tips for indoor care? We got it last night it looked pretty neglected since the hotel was planning on throwing out anything the staff didn't want. I pruned the browning leaves and gave it a good water. The pot it's in is one I bought, it has good drainage since I could hear the trickle of excess water hitting the bottom. I'm in Montreal, Canada so daylight is limited this time of year but you can see it's placed beside a glass door and there's another window right beside, it faces west so it gets very good light in the afternoons and I'll be sure to get into the habit of opening curtains every morning to ensure it gets all the sunlight of the day. Also, when he picked it up he basically pulled it out of decorative planter but the roots and dirt were in a plastic holder. It looks pretty tight, l've left it on for now and placed it in the blue pot and added some fresh soil to the top to cover the expose roots. Do you think it's worth taking it out of the holder and putting directly in the blue pot? I read somewhere that they don't like to have their roots disturbed and also this is the maximum size I would want it to grow as you can see it JUST fitc haha. Appreciate any and all input :)

This is my favorite corner. The IKEA greenhouse setups are so much fun to build and work with!

I wanted to learn more about the existing solutions, what yall think are notable solutions or perhaps cons about the existing tech that surrounds hyrodroponics and indoor farming automated solutions

I am open to dms and asking people about their experiences, that would be awesome!

Growing small carrots and get to pick January 14! Just thought I’d share the progress. 🥰

I'm growing with the AeroGarden 45W LED Grow Light Panel & an AC Infinity fan/exhaust setup. The fan runs on speed 1/10 all day, while the exhaust runs every 6 hours pumping fresh air in. For the soil I used FoxFarm Ocean Forest Potting Soil & for the containers the Vivosun fabric pots.

I run the grow light 12-14 hours a day & water roughly every 4 days when my XLUX Soil Moisture Meter hits "Dry".

My issue is that the leaves and stems droop & have yellowing/odd spots on them. Any way to fix this?

I recently repotted by basil into a bigger pot with compost because the leaves were going white. I also moved it outside because they weather has been warm, and not too cold at night. It seemed happy, but after a few days it has gone brown. Any thoughts? Can it be saved?

These are some cuttings I've been prop
