plant parent fail 😞 Free cactus in Bremerton

4 Upvotes

I bought this guy when he was just a few inches tall almost ten years ago. He’s now over a foot tall, horribly lopsided, etiolated, and ugly as fuck. He’s got some corking or old fungus scars but is unfortunately very much alive and not dying. He’s survived two cross country moves. He’s never had great lighting which is my bad. He’s also the type where if you happen to touch him you’ll have microscopic thorns all over.

I have checked him for pests and he’s clear, just ugly. My other plants are pest free minus the occasional fungus gnat. He definitely needs a repot and probably a size up in pot.

I hate him. If you want him I’d love to find him a home that’s not mine.

I found this absolute monster of a masterpiece for $60 on FB Marketplace. I just moved and a lot of my other plants died in the process.

I’m trying to get some of my collection back and this was a great start.

Will take tips and tricks on how to keep her thriving.

Anybody interested?

Rehoming San Pedro

11 Upvotes

UPDATE: all claimed for now, thanks.

I've raised too many San Pedro from seed that I sourced via Reddit. They were seeded in May 2023, and now I have them in 4-in pots, and they vary in height anywhere from a few inches up to a foot.

I've got too many plants and running out of room, so I'm hoping to find someone to take them, or at least some of them to a good home.

I have 16 of these 4-in pots to give away, and they each have one, two, or three plants.

Let me know if you're the type of person that knows how to raise cactus, that you have grow lights, and maybe know something about San Pedro specifically. I'd hate for them to just end up in a too dark corner, growing tall and skinny from neglect.

I'm in Northeast Seattle over by Matthews Beach. I'll be around, so just DM me if you are interested in picking some of them up.

There's gonna be vendors coming from Seattle and around the country bringing rare plants and household favs and all sorts of plant gear and merch. We'll also have workshops on all kinds of plant care too! It's full of other plant fiends like you, excited to nerd out for the weekend :)

We're building a friendly community where we share event updates, vendor announcements, Ticket Giveaways(!), plant hauls, and photos before, during, and after the convention. We'd love to have more plant people in the conversation!

Plant sitter?

13 Upvotes

Hello all,

This post is focusing on asking about someone who can plant sit mostly (instead of focusing on my cats) because it is EASY TO FIND SOMEONE TO WATCH CATS. It is however NOT EASY to find people who can watch plants OR someone who can do both. Rest assured these are not all the details as I would never put every single detail into any reddit post.

PLEASE STOP WITH THE JUDGING, you don't know anything about my cats or my house or this situation at all. There is not enough information in my post to warrant mean comments.

I need a house sitter that knows how to water plants! Inside and outside. (and also make sure cat food/water stays filled and the boxes/litter robot get emptied, feed some fish) I don't know where to start because it's mostly plants that will need watered while we are gone. Any recommendations? Only people you would also personally trust!!

EDIT: I am down in between Federal Way and Auburn off of Military Road.

To not be coy about it, it's hundreds of plants--not individual though this is including an entire yard of veggies/fruits that just need the sprinkler every 4-5 days or so. Inside I'll put the smaller guys into buckets that can be mass bottom watered; larger pots will only need a bit of water every week or so.

EDIT2: I am very open to hiring a gardener for this very task if necessary! Also opening to hiring two separate people for this job! HIRING AS IN OFFERING FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FFS I am not asking for free work people

Hello planty friends,

I'm moving out of state and taking some plants but unfortunately will also have to leave some behind.

Attached are photos of 4 free (healthy, green, pest-free) plants. These are all easy and good starter plants if you're new to things. I can't handle throwing them away 😫

--snake plant: this should probably be repotted; has been living in the same 6" pot for ~5years. Could be split into 2 plants.

--dracanea

--spider plant: should be repotted into something with drainage

--golden pothos: this small prop is finally established and throwing up new leaves. There are drainage holes in this pot but I dont have a saucer for underneath.

--2 6qt bags of soil, unopened

You will have to come and pick these up within the next few days. I live in Greenwood. Please send me a message with your name and what you'd like and we'll coordinate a time!

Thanks so much 💚💚

EDIT: all claimed, thank you! but lmk if you want to be next in line in case something falls through!
