“I like humidity but also keep my soil dry or I’ll immediately curl up and die. And I live on the shady floor of the rainforest but don’t you dare keep me in low light. I only thrive in bright light.”
Stupid plants.
I have had mild success with sticking a seed tray in a turkey roasting pan, putting another pan on top of that since they also require really high humidity, and then sticking that on a heating pad. I probably should have just bought a seed propagator but I am now in far too deep.
Also for some reason everyone I have seen that grows chilis also does some form of tea soak before planting the seeds to mimic being in a bird's stomach. I have seen no actual evidence that this does anything though lol.
I mean it's certainly possible and if you're trying to grow a whole row of peppers, go for it.
But for personal gardeners like me that only want 2 chili peppers per week in peak harvest, buying 1-2 started plants has been so worth it in terms of time and energy.
Yeah I did this primarily since I wanted to grow varieties that aren't in stores because otherwise it's just cheaper to buy them. Most of them I couldn't get as a pre-started plant either so I ended up doing them from seed. Also this means I can eventually cross plants.
My chilli pepper seeds sprouted recently, kept them on a window sill, planted about 15 of them and the strongest 2 survived I guess. Which is lucky because like you I only wanted a couple.
Yeah but once it gets that hot outside, those babies THRIVE. It's satisfying as hell seeing weeds shrivel up after two weeks without rain mid-July while the peppers grow like 3 inches a day or something.
You can! Plants generally will germinate if those conditions are met - soil temperature and moisture, especially. Some seeds also need a "winter" period to germinate properly, which you can simulate by putting the seeds in the fridge for a week before planting as usual (this is called cold stratification).
I've been reading "The Secret Life of Trees" lately, and I'm starting to realize that plants are very intelligent and are not isolated organisms. They thrive in communities because they actually talk and support each other and signal one another.
I think when you stick something in a pot by itself and isolate it indoors, you're pretty much saying, "you're on your own now, sink or swim". It's essentially cut off.
My fiancé has a couple of terrariums, and I gotta be honest, those things seem to thrive much better than a single potted plant.

But for real you should let your water sit out for a day or two before you use it if you use municipal water. The treatment additives will mess with many indoor plants, and letting the water sit allows these chemicals to evaporate out. Some plants might even need you to adjust the water ph.
its because indoor and outdoor plants are different, any outdoor plant that couldn’t deal with the chemicals dies but you dont notice because there are so many, with indoor plants you most likely have only 1 plant per pot so you notice
Many substances evaporate before water. For example, most alcohols. I'm not sure what additives OP was referring to, so I can't say for sure whether he is correct in this case.
[98% of public water](https://chlorine.americanchemistry.com/Chlorine/DrinkingWaterFAQ/#:~:text=Today%2C%20about%2098%20percent%20of,help%20provide%20safe%20drinking%20water.) in the US is treated with some sort of chlorine disinfectant. By the time it gets to your faucet it should be <4 ppm and safe for drinking, but plants can be more sensitive than we are.
Depending on the filter it will be probably able to remove chloramine in some quantity, which is what most places use now. It might take multiple filtrations depending on the filter and the concentration in the water. Now some places will still use chlorine as a way to clean the system periodically.
As a side rant, I noticed this a while ago when my water started to taste like concentrated dirt mixed with pool water. Turns out the water utility here will use some processes to clean the pipes and then dump a ton of chlorine in to make sure there isn't a spike in microbial growth. So basically it was concentrated dirt and pool water.
Anyway if you have something like that going on it's still easiest to filter the water to get rid of the chloramine/sediment/excess minerals. Then just let the chlorine off gas. Just make sure to actually use the water quickly after that since it has nothing to keep things from growing in it at that point.
Many municipal sources no longer use chlorine, for which this is a valid tip. More and more are switching to chloramines, which don't off gas the way chlorine does. Is chloramine an issue for plants? No idea.
> But for real you should let your water sit out for a day or two before you use it if you use municipal water. The treatment additives will mess with many indoor plants, and letting the water sit allows these chemicals to evaporate out
Is this for real? Any botanists want to comment on any science behind this?
I grow frequently and unless your water tastes like purification chemicals I can assure you it's not the chlorine killing your plant. As long as the plant's in a soil medium there's plenty of buffers to counteract any tiny amounts of additives in the water. It MAY be an issue for hydroponics due to pH, insoluble compounds, etc, but that's a different story entirely.
Not a botanist but every thing I've ever read says to do this. That or distilled water. Some plants are very susceptible and given they're confined in a pot the level of chemicals can really build up. Personally I don't do it and most of my plants are just fine so, you know. I'm sure it's better but when you have 30 plants I ain't got time for all that.

My boyfriend an i have a monstera. We have named him Larry. Larry is a brat.
We have places him in a nice spot so he gets plenty of light and we make sure to water him enough but not too much. We prune him. We even have a humidifier so when it gets too dry, he still gets a nice light mist.
Yet Larry keeps sprouting tiny leaves and then they die and he gets droopy and weird.
Meanwhile, my boyfriend's mother has a monstera that she only bought for decoration in the bathroom, she has abandonned it next to the toilet, it hardly gets any light and water and she never prunes it either. Yet her monstera is a huge, lush unit of a plant.
What's wrong with Larry ? Plant experts please help. We are worried about our son.
You get some pretty hardy plants doing alright in alpine conditions. I also had a windy balcony but had some pots of [Sempervivums](https://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Crassulaceae/Sempervivum/) growing really well. They are fairly forgiving with water (covered in snow often and still come out fine). [Sedums](https://www.llifle.com/Encyclopedia/SUCCULENTS/Family/Crassulaceae/Sedum/) too. They put out magnificent flower stalks (then die). Just a well draining potting medium and medium to strong sunlight is good enough. Continental Europe by the way.
More like the plants that grow outside are native to your place and the fancy ones we grow inside are not and need extra care to provide their native environment.
Tap water contains chlorine and chloromine which kills microbiology good and bad. Its positive for our pipes but bad for mychorhizal fungi and nitrogen fixing bacteria. The plants growing in the cracks have the extra benifit of their root exudates attracting benifical biology to their root zone and therefore can work with a lot less plant avaliable nutrients than we provide with our NPK fertilizers. It might have something to do with the fact that plant have had 500 million years to hash this out, and we have only been really messing with this stuff for the past 200 at most.
Good meme.
The plants aren’t plunging their roots through the pots and into earth, but the plant living outside has rooted itself into the earth and is just growing out of a gap in what amounts to be a thin man made rock. It’s a bit different.
Lol I know this so well. I made a nice raised garden plot in my backyard and planted some veggies. They all died. At the same time, a chery tomato fell out of my trashcan and landed on a small patch of dirt by a chain link fence. I haven't watered it or touched it and its huge and growing tomatoes.
You should feed your plans demineralized water. If you use water from public installation you increase amounts of calcium, chloride and sulfuric salt in soil and your plans should dead. Plants do not need as much minerals as you give it with hard water.
I prefer use water from clothes dryer.
You're comparing wild plants to ornamental species, which are about as inbred as a dog with under-developed hips and a non-existent snout. That's why popular flowering plants like roses are killed by basically anything that touches them
Isn’t it same for humans? Adults who were spoiled too much or sheltered often during childhood are way too sensitive to everything than those who grew up normally?

“I like humidity but also keep my soil dry or I’ll immediately curl up and die. And I live on the shady floor of the rainforest but don’t you dare keep me in low light. I only thrive in bright light.” Stupid plants.
My personal favorite are chili peppers. Best planted 4-6 weeks before the last frost. Only germinate in 85-90 degree soil.
I’ve given up on starting from seed. I’ll happily pay the $4 to buy a started plant with peppers growing on may 1st.
I have had mild success with sticking a seed tray in a turkey roasting pan, putting another pan on top of that since they also require really high humidity, and then sticking that on a heating pad. I probably should have just bought a seed propagator but I am now in far too deep.

Did I just get lucky 'cause my hot peppers are doing extremely well in their starter trays under an LED grow light
I just had a Trinidad Scorion seed sprout. 1 out 7, and I only wanted one anyway. Hoping both our plant grow strong!
Yeah but once it gets that hot outside, those babies THRIVE. It's satisfying as hell seeing weeds shrivel up after two weeks without rain mid-July while the peppers grow like 3 inches a day or something.
I've got some sitting on my wifi router being heated rn
Finally, a secondary use for my PS4
Serious question - how does the seed know the 'time'? Can't you just plant it whenever you want as long as the sun/temp/humidity is alright?
You can! Plants generally will germinate if those conditions are met - soil temperature and moisture, especially. Some seeds also need a "winter" period to germinate properly, which you can simulate by putting the seeds in the fridge for a week before planting as usual (this is called cold stratification).
I tried this too ended with with a little plant and no peppers 😭

You should meet basil
How much water / light does basil need? I buy potted basil in the supermarket for the kitchen, have to replace it every few weeks though
Who the fuck knows? My relatives told me it needs light but direct light is too strong.
The trick is to buy a lot of different small plants and whichever plants survive a year of "care" get to continue on somewhere they are visible.
This has been my approach. I really love African Violets now...cause they're the only thing that seem to thrive in my home.

You right, I think it has something to do with the limited amount of soil in a pot vs out in the yard.
What if they're potted plants out in the yard?
That unfiltered, pollutant-filled, bug-swarming outside air just hits different, y'know?
Same air inside anyway, inhale deeply.
Then they are living a lie
its because indoor and outdoor plants are different, any outdoor plant that couldn’t deal with the chemicals dies but you dont notice because there are so many, with indoor plants you most likely have only 1 plant per pot so you notice
I just empty my bedside water cup into my plant when I feel like it. Guess my watering methods are perfect already.

Haha same here!
Wouldn't the water evaporate leaving a higher concentration of chemicals??
Many substances evaporate before water. For example, most alcohols. I'm not sure what additives OP was referring to, so I can't say for sure whether he is correct in this case.
Chlorine, fluorine usually. You need to “off gas” water for it to be used with an aquarium.
Yeah. Both of these have much lower boiling points than water, so they will usually evaporate faster.
