/fa/ - Fashion

such a vague question,

It really depends on your interior design, my apt is p bare and minimal so my plants are desert based (and also low maintenance)

Lots of cactus

Herb garden or succulents imo.

But only if you can keep em healthy. No plant can be effay if it's sickly and yellowish

agreed.
i personally love cacti

>>13551783
I have spearmint, a golden pothos vine, and I want to get a sanservia, a small lemon tree and I'll probably get a geranium for the living room.

>>13551783
Collecting Haworthia is a cool/fun hobby.
They're cool, easy to keep, and come in loads of varieties you can also breed yourself.

Whatever this is

Monstera is the new Ficus lyrata.

Climate control

Papyrus

>>13551783
I don't really have anywhere to put my plants except my kitchen window because most of my windows don't have a shelf on them.

Any suggestions on where I can put my plants?

>>13552824
they sell suction cup shelves you can stick to windows for plants. get one that comes with an extra brace, so it doesn't fall down and kill your plants.

>>13551783
palm style plants in minimal/bare rooms is peak /fa/

>>13552788
Monstera is already dead and buried. Do you not read interior design magazines?

>>13551783
>What houseplants are the most /fa/?
Indoor bonsai

>>13554849
Aloe Veras ARE succulents you simpleton.

>>13556062
Truth

>>13555715
so what do the fancy papers say are cool these days?

>>13555582
pencil cactus is nice but you're not living unless you're buying rare Haworthia & Adromischus seedlings from Japan for $40 a pop.

>>13551783
Strawberry Begonia. They are very easy to take care of (just don't waterlog them, you cen let them go dry for quite a long time though), very pretty on their own, and they send off little runners like spider plants.

>>13552803
Yes

>>13551783
Bonsai Tree's are the most Effay House Plant.
Fite Me..

How durable are things like this?

>>13557668
The rope? Depends what rope. I'd say quite durable, last at the very least a decade. Longer if it's not in direct sunlight.

>>13557737
I'd be more worried about balance and what not, I just worry it would tip and drop my plants everywhere

Still diggin the fig tree.

my children

>>13557564
Agreed, plants that require actual care, like plants that aren't succulents, are the best. Getting a cactus is like admitting from the very beginning that you can't take care of a plant. Bonsai requires a lot of regular care and with good effort you will get something very beautiful that's a testament to your abilities to care for something.

>>13554472
eat it .

>>13557564
I might be wrong here, but from what I've understood, bonsai is more a style than an actual plant. As in, any plant could in theory be a bonsai. Isn't it just a plant pruned to look like a miniature tree?

>>13555715
your dead and buried .. yeah all follow fashion hee he loser!

>>13558780
Not just pruning, you're also keeping the plant in a small pot with a growth medium mixed in a certain way. The small pot will limit the tree's growth so that the tree grows very slowly, and the trunk thickens. An important part is also the shaping of the tree often done with wires and string.

>>13554849
>>13556062
>>13557564
>>13558780
Bonsai are not plants you fucking dimwits. Holy shit the state of this fucking board.

I've got some ivy growing and a small African fern in my windowsill. Not really /fa/ looking but i take care of them as my only remnants from an ex who gifted them to me and i'm too lonely and still in love with her to get rid of the plants. I've named them Concetta and Heidi and they keep me company on late summer nights.

>>13556908
>>13558781
Lol whatever your mothers styleguide picks up has been all over Tumblr the last year. Monstera is terribly overused and completely unoriginal.

Is this plant /fa/? I really like it, I hope it's not too expensive.

Monstera Obliqua!

Given, in the ‘Monstera’ trend but they’re super easy to care for and don’t need a ton of light. They put off these long tendrils and looks really nice when hanging over a shelf or hanging pot.

i like ferns. tough to keep happy tho

do y'all like DIY irrigation systems

>>13551810

What's a good cactus or plant that looks nice or is beneficial somehow and needs minimal sunlight preferably small and fits a desk

>>13561595
What's the name of this plant?

i went on holiday and left very clear watering instructions for my 20+ plants. I get home and my family just doused them all in water and left them to sit
>dont all plants need a regular soak anon?

>>13563093
How do you avoid attracting insects?
I want to grow a few plants in my bedroom.
It already has 4 spiders in each corner, and that's about all I'll allow.

>>13563158
i havent had too many problems with insects. I had mites in my peace lily but pumice stones are really good for stopping them. the stone stops them getting into the soil and breeding

Here's my collection.

Very nice. What's the name of the plant?

>>13559533
Lol trees are not plants huh

any plants that can survive in black room with no sunlight? atleast with a couple wall spotlights

Plastic plants are nasty but im desperate

>>13565930
There are plants that can tolerate low light, but they will only survive for a few months. They will get weaker and weaker until they eventually die.

>>13566709
Probably a zebra succ

tell me more about these DIY irrigation systems

>>13563158
spiders are good though, they eat bugs that eat your plants. same as praying mantis and ladybugs I think

>>13566709
Haworthia fasciata

>>13565987
that's a Haworthia cooperi hybrid from Japan. The genus of Haworthia has a lot of neat varieties and people breed them for interesting forms. That hybrid is brand-named "OB-1".
Haworthia mostly grow in South Africa so they have really thicc leaves to store lots of water, and some have nice transparent windows in the leaves that look extra cool.

I think this one is a Haworthia springbokvlakensis hybrid, also Japanese. You can start with cheaper but still cool varieties for like 4-5$ online and then buy the fancy ones (30-100$).

Kokedama is like a levitating three

Serracenia skarlet

What's the best interior design magazines?

>>13563171
How much was that ficus?

>>13568839
one of that size should rang from 30-60 dollars depending on where you get it. You can find way larger ones like that at Home Depot for about 90 dollars.

I'm wildly partial to string of pearls plants, and enjoy having Pothos wrapping up in my ceiling rafthers.

so do these attract spiders and shit? I got arachnophobia but apparently bitches like plants

if I steal succulent leaves from home depot plants will they ban me from their stores?

>>13564588
The greenhouse i work at sells them for 350$

>>13571984
usually, the leaves fall onto the floor around the display - I pick those up all the time.

>>13551799
succulents are fucking gay and stupid. literally the epitome of urban outfitters le quirky teenage girl. even sorority girls are into succulents. they add nothing to a space in terms of liveliness or intrigue

>>13560339
Ok then what is on the rise/not overdone mr. interior design magazine?

>>13563178
kinda triggers me that theyre in front of windows that open towards them

how often do you guys water your plants? Is it hen the soil is dry? I used to do it once a day but my friend said i only had to do it when the soil was dry

>>13572268
When the soil is dry is a pretty good rule of thumb for most plants. I have one though that hates water for whatever reason so I only water it when it gets a bit droopy, but my money tree I wait for the soil to get completely dry and then give it enough water until the pot drips.

A better question is how often do you guys give your plants nutrients?

>>13564518
bruh don't gender flowers if you like it then you like it if anyone calls you out for it drop em

>>13572853
for leafy stuff I feed every 3 or 4 waterings, less in winter.
for succ I usually don't feed but mix a little pellet fertilizer in with the potting mix.

good, good. and this one?

Man someone planted an orchid on the small garden outside my apartment and as soon as the first flower blossomed some nigger stole it. Can't have shit around here.

is this tacky or can it work?

>>13574197
tacky and the lamp heat is probably torturing the poor ivy.
the pothos in the corner looks good though.

>>13551783

Mine. I grow succulents, have a few lillies, and some decorative plants, a few hangers, and I grow some microgreens for salads n shit

>>13557668

This is called Macrame. I posted my own pic a few mins ago. It's very durable and easy to diy. Best option if u have little space for plants

my ficus elastica is not looking healthy either, its dropping leaves at the base so theres about 2 ft of stem and 1ft of leaves at the very top :(

>>13574641

No, I do that all the time.

Some Wheatgrass I already harvested and Daikon/Sunflower microgreens on the right (day 2)

I want so many plants but they just have so many needs and i keep killing them

>>13574678
all they need is water and light.

>>13574698
yeah but some need more or less water and light and any deviation from what they need kills them

>>13573652
Yeah that one looks like a big flower

>>13574669

>>13567012
>A Confederacy of Dunces
My friend. Yes

>>13573652
not for in your house when it blossoms - not a nice smell

>>13567713
I rigged up a vertical garden out of a bunch of spare junk laying around the house. It runs on a fountain pump (it needs a water reservoir because we don't have any spigots around) and supports about 20 plants, mostly herbaceous/edible. I just run the circuit for about 2 hours a day and add a little water each day and it just werks

it's not very pretty but for a complete lark (and about $100, plants included) i think it turned out quite well. i would definitely like to revisit the design in the future

>>13576162
nice anon! I agree its not the most aesthetic but it works well and its quite cheap!

>>13551783
Since this hasn't been posted yet

>>13577122
I'm pretty sure i killed my succulent. The leaves have all fallen off, and the stem grew really tall and was replaced by this brown trunk like thing that's really rough

what the fuck is it?

>>13577487
Dont be retarded. Post a pic or noone can help you

>>13577715
You're right

It just started growing upward, and eventually the leafy green stem toppled over and so I snapped it off and this is what remains. It just grew this in a few weeks

>>13578590
Pretty much dead m8.
Try scratching the surface to see if there is sone green (life) in there. Probably not though

>>13574197
ehh, that's not gonna work in real life. I guarantee you that ivy was placed there for the picture.

>>13576162
that's a lot of water, surprised the roots aren't rotting.

I am enjoying this thread very much.

>>13577122
fern is not easy ._.

this should become a general desu
can anyone id this plant?

I overwatered my ferns and the soil smells now.

I put them outside for 2 days and the soil got a bit drier but the small hasn't disappeared. Then I put them in the rain yesterday for 1 hour. Now they're drying again, but the smell hasn't disappeared.

What can I do?

>>13578841
could be root rot, may need to take it out the soil and replace the soil.
on an unrelated note, i've got small mushrooms growing in my ficus pot. Google tells me not to worry but i dont want them to spread

>>13578886
I'll try tomorrow. but the fern has pic related roots, which are all over the soil like small capillaries so I can't really remove it

Ditto, I'd love for this to become a recurring general thread.

my Costco has 4-5' ones right now for $30. it's amazing.
houseplant threads should happen more often here, /diy/ doesn't chat about them that often. fits pretty well with the living space threads we have.

here's a weird little succulent I have. Titanopsis primosii. should bud off into a nice mat of fingers eventually.

>>13578644
I might do that. I just learned that it grows like that because it wasn't getting enough sunlight so it grew like that. It's the same color as when it was definitely alive and growing though, so I'm gonna just take care of it for now and see how it goes

Here's a tip for everyone looking at not just house plants but plants in general:

>healthy, lush vigorous plants

These are /fa/

>weak, spindly, neglected plants

These are not /fa/

Simple. Any plant can be made to look good in basically any space if it's happy.

Not them but I used to watch /plant/ threads every day. Most of them are a bunch of nerds masturbating over carnivorous plants. I mean they are cool but almost all discussion and images revolve around sarracenias, dioneas and nephentes, it gets boring as fuck.

Also, some of them are pretty good at this "hobby" and are intolerant towards new people who fuck over easy-to-care plants.
Come on, it's a fucking human being and most tutorials just say "water it often, but not too much" which is like trying to learn how to cook from my grandma; generic and ambiguous tips that dont help at all.
You fuck up giving it too much water once and you lose an entire year of growth or all the plant altogether.

Anyways, this thread is full of curious people, motivated and inspired, so is comfy as fuck

>>13580353

no ones brought up the zz plant? i have one and its the one plant ive managed not to kill. its good with low light and liw water. the only issue ive had is this summer some leaves started to look a little sad and yellow and i realised it just needs to be watered a little more often than in fall and winter. so its perked back up with a nice watering and its looking good.

I got a plant from my grandpas funeral. He was in korea.

Sunlight doesn't shine directly through my room but i have a window that faces south and my door faces west i believe.

Will my room get enough light to have plants not in the window you think? Every thing i keep in that south window gets too hot and roasts, and so i can never keep anything there for long.

Other tips are appreciated

I’d say a mix of herbs for practicality and some nice looking plants.

What I have: mint, lemon balm, dill, thyme, oregano, basil, cilantro, parsley, shiso, microgreens, 2 lemon trees (young), green onion

I also have a snake plant and aloe.

The herbs are great if you like cooking at home, and the aroma is amazing.
It’s really fun if you grow from seed.

>>13594284
I have a south facing window and I've been able to keep two or three plants alive away from the window. Things like pothos still do very well in low light so you should go for it! (I'm in northern indiana if you want to compare light levels)

I recently copped a ~4' tree-form FLF from fast-growing-trees, really pleased with it. came really healthy and already put out a new pair of leaves.
they generally grow fairly slow and are very picky on environment and light conditions.

>>13565968
Yes but snake plants and succulents require lots of water though. Cacti absolutely need lots of sun to grow but little water.

>>13580353
>fuck up giving it too much water once and you lose an entire year of growth or all the plant altogether.
i've nearly killed a couple of plants because my gf watered them twice in a week after i already watered them. most came back to some degree, but they're in terrible shape. it's a shitty learning curve because i'm afraid of losing some of my more interesting plants (rattlesnake, iron cross begonia, random cacti)

>>13578590
Did you even water it?

>>13564518
The plant is not but these two candle hodlers are.

>>13596667
>Did you even water it?
Yes. It was doing fine, but it just kept growing. I realized it wasn't getting enough sun probably, so when it started growing, i thought that it was a good thing. Oh well v

>>13595078
Is this bait? The fiddle leaf fig is ficus lyrata.

Is anyone able to confirm if this or the succulent behind it is the same as >>13565968? The labels have no detail on them.

>>13596964
the plant behind it

>>13596964
These are very close, if not the same. I had them and they got to be a few inches long within a month or two, starting even smaller that those.

>>13596658
I've found unglazed clay pots to help with that a lot, since the soil can also evaporate moisture through the pot. like training wheels for over waterers.
i'm happy this thread has done so well. we should talk /fa/ plants more often. /livingdecor/

>>13596605
The customer photos don't TOO much bigger than mine, it just has a green stem instead of bark. It's basically a tropical environment where I live in the summer so I hope that encourages it to grow little bit before fall. I feel bad for pruning all the bottom leaves, but hopefully I didn't fuck up too bad.

Can anyone recommend some other plants? Someone gave me a 8 inch white planter and I'm going to a nursery later this week.

>>13597260
what kind of soil mix is it potted in? tropical/humid environment will be good, once it gets comfortable it should start putting out leaves fairly regularly.

I'm a bit of a sucker for caucidiforms right now, that fat woody base can look pretty neat. it's like a little, natural bonsai. one site I like for them is out-of-africa-plants. some people just think they're ugly as sin though.

>>13597266
A mix of high quality organic and succulent soil because that's all I had on hand.

I almost bought a fat fuck desert rose (looked similar to those), but I decided not to because they need full sun.

>>13597220
>unglazed clay pots
probably not a terrible idea. certainly something to start with before i need to move plants to larger pots. i've gotten better through trial and error in terms of not killing things, but i'm still on a learning curve for optimal conditions and watering/fertilising patterns. my dieffenbachia is doing tremendously, as are most of my cacti, but succulents seem to be hit or miss. and since people are posting their plants, here are the majority of mine. i really wish i even had one south facing window

>>13597220
Do you recommend a traditional watering can/bottle, or spray bottle?

And is there any truth to mixing sprite and water for cut roses, or is that an old wives tale?

>>13596648
snake plants actually need very little becaue they store so much in their leaves

>>13597302
Ive used unglazed clay pots and it was a mess. Yes it kept them alive over my overwatering maniac of a gf but the pots kept sweating calcium.

>>13598294
Wouldn't using a saucer or dish work?

>>13598367
It kept pouring and sticking through the walls of the clay. It appeared very very slowly, evaporating water through the pores of the clay and leaving the calcium. Very weird and messy, I dont know if it's normal

Thoughts on weeping ficus fig trees? I work at a grocery store that got some nice looking ones in, and the last tree i got from here is still doing quite nice.

I feel like every house I went to in the early 2000s had an artificial one. I personally like alli or audrey ficus better.

i live in dumbo brooklyn, i snagged this spot 10 years ago before it got super pricey. I have loft law so my rent never went up/ waiting on a buyout to leave.

The other side, my bedroom is decently sized. It's a old warehouse with shipping container extension. It needs a lot of work but it's getting there.
