Whether you’re just getting into gardening or have already been doing it for a while, you may have heard some myths you don’t know whether or not to believe. According to landscaping expert David Beaulieu, one of the common misconceptions is that struggling plants need more fertilizer.
In an article for The Spruce, Beaulieu says struggling plants may be caused by insufficient drainage or incorrect soil pH levels. He also explained that too much fertilizer may harm plants, resulting in fertilizer burn.
A wilting plant may seem like it needs more water. According to Beaulieu, this is another common myth leading people to overwater their crops, which results in stunted growth, yellowing leaves, and more wilting.
Instead, Beaulieu advises checking for possible fungal diseases or insufficient irrigation. Overwatering can also increase moisture levels, which can cause fungal growth.
Keeping houseplants in tight pots is a common mistake plant owners make. According to horticulturist Justin Hancock, plants may “tolerate” being root-bound but may not necessarily thrive.
In an interview with Homes and Gardens, Hancock advises regular repotting in bigger pots and giving plants fresh compost regularly. He adds that repotting may require less watering, while keeping them root-bound may cause them to dry out quicker.

Yep. Satisfies my need for plants and my need for light. When can I move in?

Many people employ winterproofing strategies, such as covering their plants with burlap. However, experts like garden designer Amber Freda say this step isn’t particularly necessary.
“Doing so can prevent the plants from receiving sunlight, which can be detrimental to evergreens that need to keep photosynthesizing even in the winter months,” Freda explained, adding that winterproofing is only needed for tropical plants that won’t survive the cold weather.

The Crowley school of gardening. Put the fear of hell into those plants.

Green roofs are a wonderful idea. But at what point do they collapse?

I don't just have plants. I have 2 6 foot orange trees, I live in Maine, US. I have 2 apple trees started from seed, will be able to plant them outside in about 5 years, (did it 30 years ago, so many apples!). I have 2 sequoia trees, they are 3 inches tall, but just you wait!. I love my plants. I also have a beautiful jade plant, vine (name I can't remember) and an orchid I'm trying to coax into blooming again.

I converted my "garden" tub in my master bathroom that we never used into a literal garden tub because it got the most light in our house due to the glass block windows we installed around it. My houseplants love it!

I'm terrible with plants. Luckily my SIL isn't, so I get to enjoy seeing the bees and butterflies on the lavender, look at the succulents with water 'diamonds' after the rain and admire the strelitzias.
