First and foremost, bring your plants inside for the winter.

Let's talk about one of my upcoming DIY's! If you love plants but say "oh but I don't have a balcony/lots of light/a yard" this is for you.

The most important thing to note about this entire project is that you need to be intentional about what you're buying and doing. So ask yourself a couple questions:

What kind of plants am I going to grow? How big are they?

Do I need to automate things or will I be able to do everything on my own?

This helps you determine how big of a glass cabinet/greenhouse you need and if you're going to be using smart plugs or not.

Now you can absolutely just buy a damn greenhouse online and put it inside. Don't let no one tell you that you can't. But if you're a DIY hottie and like to do things yourself and learn, you could benefit from doing this yourself.

You'll need some tools, for assembly. Probably a circular hole saw to cut a hole in the bottom of your cabinet, some magnets or something to keep the lights up and basic skills. Also a bowl of water to help humidity can be put at the bottom.

"What kind of plants can I grow?" Basically anything that can fit. Plants that need heat and lots of sunlight should be placed towards the top, plants that are okay with a tiny bit less heat and sun should be at the bottom.

"I don't know what to grow!" Cool, Here's some ideas:

Basil

Parsley

Tomatoes

Green onions

Lettuce

Peppers

Lavender

Rosemary

Chamomile

Dandelion

Garlic

Carrots

Marigold

Generally the more space, the better. So if you can get a really tall cabinet and just use a big step stool to reach the plants, do it! You can also buy acrylic shelves to place inside to promote airflow.

Plants can get big, don't be afraid to cut them down a little if your greenhouse becomes more of a jungle than you're okay with.

You can automate this whole thing (save for the watering, kind of) using smart plugs to turn off the fan and lights. For watering, you can buy self watering plant spikes for some of them (unless you want to water them, then that's fine)!

You'll want fertilizer (you can DIY it, or you can buy something like fish fertilizer), soil, and some pots of some sort.

Groceries have been god awfully expensive and this can help save money over time. Less trips to the grocery store and most importantly- you're not riding on someone else to make the prices for you. You pay for the electricity to run it, the water, the materials, and seeds. That's all you need.

example :

good luck and remember: DIY with caution and care!

Bubbles Angry Self Care Journey

Incomplete list of things that I started doing because it might help and then it started actually working so I got mad about it*:

Drinking more water

Therapy (god i loved therapy)

Sleep ** weirdly more productive now that I get eight hours of sleep can you BELIEVE powering through to finish things without sleep makes your final products shitty, quick someone tell capitalism

Yoga (i'm sorry)

Fucking.... JOURNALING >:[

Eating more vegetation **I still eat meat. I tried going vegetarian but lost feeling in my hands again so animal protein it is

Meditation (i'm sorry again)

Kitty! :D (not actually mad about that one)

But the most recent thing? The thing I am currently very angry about because it was purchased on a whim?

Fucking........ PLANTS

* not to be replaced with regular medical care, I need a lot of it and cost my insurance company A WHOLE BUNCH

#askbubbles #no one asked me but i am currently upset that the emotional support plant sign worked on me #and then i immediately got it a pretty pot because it deserves a pretty pot it's under my protection now #and then the leaves were getting a little brown at the tips so i checked the internet #and the internet said this plant needs humidity so i took it into the bathroom while i was taking a shower #it perked right up in the steam #and now i have purchased this plant a HUMIDIFIER and it is as happy as a plant can be #leaves standing straight up in the air not droopy at all #so here i am considering getting another indoor plant and then planting an herb garden and WHO AM I #HOW DID I GET HERE #WHY IS THIS W O R K I N G ?

By introducing just a few live plants, air quality can be improved within your space. CO2 can be reduced by 50% as well as a reduction in the dust, bacteria and mould which would otherwise be inhaled. Dust levels in your space can be reduced by up to 20 per cent when plants are introduced.

With correct placement of plants, the need for air con can also be reduced and the air kept at a higher humidity (up to 20%).

By reducing the dry air caused by air conditioning and increasing humidity, illnesses such as tickly coughs are much less common.

🌿 Here’s 7 indoor plants that help to purify the air around your space:

1. Snake Plant: This popular plant can actually help you get a good nights sleep! Snake Plant, otherwise known as Sansevieria, releases oxygen at night - making it a great low maintenance plant for the bedroom.

2. Spider Plant: This common houseplant is one of the easiest air purifiers to grow! It is also great for pet owners, as it is non-toxic.

3. Bamboo Palm: This palm excels in removing molds and ammonia often found in household cleaning products.

4. Dracaena: At this point, we all know dracaena. These common houseplants clear out air pollutants such as benzene, xylene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, and carbon dioxide.

5. Aloe Vera: Not only can the gel of this plant help ease burns and scrapes, this succulent purifies the air of formaldehyde and benzene.

6. Rubber Tree: This plant with thick waxy leaves produces tons of oxygen and removes bacteria and mold spores from the air.

7. Aglaonema: This low light plant excels low levels of benzene and formaldehyde from the air.

My Hoya's annoying family members are visiting... Mealybugs!

Always practice observation. Check your plant's leaves and stem. Mealybugs love sneaking in your Hoya's. The sooner you find them, the faster and easier it will be to kill them & stop the reproduction cycle.

Honest (Single year) Review of the Burpee Superseed seedling trays

Hey all! So I have been my seedlings in this tray for a little over a month, and I have some thoughts so far.

First of all, I like the ease of use that comes with it. The cells are labeled with a letter/number grid, and it comes with a blank list that you can fill in accordingly. It made it pretty easy to remember exactly what I planted where, without having to use stakes to label them. There's also a silicon base to the cells, so you can pop out seedlings pretty easily when it's time to plant.

Now I got the 36 cell tray, but it also came in 16 and 8 cell trays. This was definitely a mistake, and this is why:

A lot of my babies are currently root bound in their small cells. So that is causing some watering issues and my tomatoes have pretty much halted their growth because of it. So in a couple days I am going to be transplanting all of my seedlings into their home pots, or into transport pots for my family. Hopefully I can rescue them and give them some more time to grow before summer time.
