Please, guys, even if you don't like me don't hold it against these innocent plants?


As I generally only remember to water a plant once it's gone crispy, I am hardly one to condemn your care of these plants, meatbomb.

I made some notes on the flickr photos. *salutes*

Fantastic, Specklet. You don't know how happy it makes me to find out I am sharing my office with a Green Wandering Jew! :)

I live but to serve.

If you need any advice on re-potting or starting things, just lemme know.

Specklet did you right. The only thing I'll add is that yeah, they all look like they're getting too much sun. How about hanging up some curtains? Some sort of gauzy transparent stuff ought to block the light enough to keep them happier. Might keep the people in your office happier too, you never know.

Meatbomb I added a couple notes.

In general, keep in mind that most houseplants are chosen and cultivated for their tolerance of deep shade and cool, dark surroundings. So it's always a safe bet (unless it's a succulent or cactus variety) to keep them out of direct sunlight. Your plants all look to be getting far too much light and heat, and not enough water.

Maybe re-pot and feed them as well. One of the biggest problems with letting plants overdry and then soaking them, and also not repotting them on a semi-regular basis (once a year is generally enough) is that any salts / chemicals held up in your tap water will precipitate out in the soil and concentrate into toxic levels.

If you can avoid it, don't use softened water as the salts will slowly kill them. A good rule of thumb is to fill a watering pot with cold, preferably filtered, tap water, then let it stand for awhile so that you don't shock the roots with cold.
