I am indoor house planting in NYC, US. Were seeing temperatures as low as 23F outside. Heres the thing: my apartment complex is so afraid of getting sued that they leave the heat on through the entire season! But thats not the bad part
I have Meyer lemon seedlings growing and (Quercus alba) white oak tree acorns germinating in the same indoor plant-tent facing Northeast-East; so sunrise is a big thing for my Meyers.
When I infrared-check the temperature, The area is usually cooler than the Meyer leaf. I have full spectrum grow lights, but the Meyers seem to be stretching to them, so I quarter turn them every week. When I set my humidifier to 60%, I only get maybe the high 40%. And when I finally get it to at least the high 50%, the temp is around 85F and the clear plastic is sweating everywhere! The overall temperature (leaf & ambiance) can fluctuate between low 70F to mid 80F.
Any suggestions? Please help?

I have a question, since quarantine I got really into keeping houseplants, and I have 11 in my room now. A short time ago, I noticed they all have thrips, that ruin my leaves. I don't really know what to do about them because I'm a beginner. They all are standing kinda close together because my room is a little dark and they have to share the light source. (I think that one infected the other and so on. Can you give me any advice on defeating them. Also I have an infected Maranta (same kind as yours in the video) that had besides thrisps some Mealybugs.

pathetic we live in a world where we have to call things hacks in titles then in the video you know that's a dumb term in this context so you called them tips instead respectively in the entire video. don't be such a tool man. hacks are when youve completely altered something software or hardware related. not plants bro. good video but your terminology is shameful. seems im not the only viewer to notice this crap lol.

What should be used for good indoor houseplant mulch? Also do you ever use milk or baking soda when you water?
Note: whenever I go on an extended trip I put all my houseplants in the bathtub. I close the shower curtain and the drain and give them a good but not too much shower/soak. Its always worked well but I did not know that by doing so I was slowing down what light does to them. Good lesson

Awesome! Thanks for this video. Can you do another video about online. plants and what to do when they don't come in the beat condition. I have an M. Adansonii that shipped awful and I am rehabbing it as the stems feel strong though the leaves are broken. I feel more people should know that not all plants come as pristine as one would think since not all plants travel well.

Hi, could you please make a video about how to care calla lily indoor? I have failed it for 3rd time already but I love these beauties. After about 2 weeks, the leaves start turning to yellow and falling. The whole plan died slowly after that. Thank you in advance!

It work absolutely awesome for me

Only if the roots dont reach the bottom. and if the pot doesnt have multiple holes.
If theres roots all the way down and the pot has holes the water will drown the roots and rot them.

I'm learning to just leave them alone. 10-15 days in between watering. My zz plant isn't thriving. I ignore it but its not putting out any new growth but its not my favorite plant either.

Great tips and I really respect what you said earlier in the video, I always say this, - there is nothing such as a houseplant, they dont exist, we create that term when we bring them inside.
