Meet your plants

Lonehare12



This was inspired by another member’s suggestion.

I thought it might be fun if our houseplants (or garden plants!) introduced themselves. Blush

Hi, my name’s Molie the Monstera. I’m quite easy-going, although I do enjoy a bright spot by the window. I’m always reaching for the light and proudly showing off my new leaves. Please don’t overwater me… I like a drink, but not wet feet! Seedling

Feel free to add a photo of one of your plants and let them introduce themselves too. Houseplants, garden plants, wildflowers… everyone is welcome!

  • Tapwater contains chloramines that kill microbes. You can't remove it by letting the water sit for a few days like you can with chlorine. Choramine is an ammonia and chlorine bond. An oxidising disinfectant. When it comes into contact with a microbe, the chlorine damages it's DNA and cell walls.

    You can buy ascorbic acid powder (vitamin C) on eBay. If you add a tiny little pinch to a bucket of water, it will destroy all of the chloramine in seconds. I always add it before i water my plants. You can drink the water too or use it for aquarium water changes. God knows what chloramine is doing to us inside!
