I brought all of my porch plants in temporarily for the heatwave, a good few were getting scorched and wilting.
Are these grow lights actually doing anything? Or are they too far away?
The lights are Barrina T5 led strips. And the French doors are facing SSE. In total is this enough light for the plants I have in the photo? If not, what could I do different?
Top shelf: lemon balm, chocolate mint, basil
Second shelf: monsteras, boston fern
Third shelf (not in frame): snake plant, peace lily, 2x phal orchids.
It's in front of a SSE window, and I have a strong grow light shining on the top shelf. I have black basil and don't want the colour to revert, however it's too hot to put it outside in direct sun (90-100 degrees)
The more light sensitive plants I have pushed back away from the window, and I have them on the lower shelves so the grow light won't burn them.
After this heatwave I plan to move everything but the monsteras back to my porch, but this setup is what I'll be using during the winter. This is more of a "test run" to see if it works.
I got a lava rose coleus abt a month ago. It started to get too big for my home, and I heard online they were easy to propagate. So I pruned my main plant and stuck the cuttings in water.
Do any of these look like they're ready to be planted? If not, what is a good indicator to know when they're okay to plant?
The trip-hop subgenre has become one of my favourites, I'm always discovering new bands. However I'm struggling to find more that have a specific "loungy" sound to them.
(What I mean by loungy is that the music has a softer, lighter tone compared to other bands in the genre: i.e, Sneaker Pimps, Portishead, Bows, etc)
If anyone has any recommendations please let me know.
I planted a wildflower mix, everything else is fine but this patch of Zinnias has a ton of brown spots, some have white centers.
​
I get a decent amount of rain, so I don't water these by hand. They get full sun except for the morning.
The soil was drying extremely fast and the plants were drooping, I didn't notice there were multiple vines planted in the same pot until after I bought it.
​
Repotted all of them in some chunky soil, I'm going to give a few away to friends and keep at least three to myself.

I personally consider their first album (especially the track "When I'm Small") to be trip-hop, at the very least it has a similar sound.
However I don't see people talk about them here, what's the general consensus with their music?
(Edit) I should preface that I don't consider anything after their first album to sound like the genre, maybe a few songs on their second but not many.

I now know that this setup isn't ideal as all the succulents here have different needs, but will it survive for the summer until I'm able to get new pots and/or soil for it?
​
Right now it's in a chunky soil mix, and I keep the bowl on my porch at all times, climate is 7b. Any information on taking care of these would be appreciated.
I bought this plant at a local market, I thought it looked healthy but during transport a leaf snapped off. What do I do about the broken stem.
I bought this Spanish lavender and it's been slowly dying, I've watered it probably more than I should in the beginning but have stopped, I took the plant out of the pot to let it fully dry. I've also been giving it full direct sun during the morning and afternoon. I have munstead lavender that's been in the same conditions as this one and is totally fine. (Climate zone 7, Delaware, had a few hot 90+ degree days in a row with heavy rains before that)
Can I save this plant? If so what do I need to do to help it.
(It looks browner in the image than it actually is, the leaves are a pale green)
I'm new to gardening and acquired a small dying spider plant that was severely root bound (more root than soil). Since I've repotted it it's sprouted new leaves/stems and has grown much taller, but I keep experiencing drying leaf tips and drooping yellow leaves.
I'm not sure of what else to do to improve its health, since it seems to be thriving and struggling simultaneously.
I water it at most once a week, and it lives in the center of my living room. The windows face the north and south.
Region Delaware.
When I use image search it says it's a rose, but I've never seen any blooms on it in my 7+ years living here.
