I am looking to give my plants the best soil mix so they can thrive. I have ingredients at home but need to know how many parts of each ingredient to use. I prefer to bottom water but need the mix to be able pull up the water. If the mix needs to be really chunky and won’t pull water up, I need to know which plants to top water. I use 1/4 tsp pro tekt (mixed well) and then add 1/4 tsp foliage pro (mix well again) per gallon water every watering.

Humidity is 45-60%. Temperature is 77 or higher in summer and 67 in winter. They are off to the side of a larger pot that is directly under a sansi 32w grow bulb, and it runs 13 hours per day slowly increasing to 14 hours per day. Ceiling fan runs on medium all day and if house is open in high at night. I do reverse it in winter so it blows up instead of down.

Humidity is 65-80%. Temperature is 77 or higher in summer and 67 in winter. There are at least 30 plants all together in a 5 x 2.5 foot space. They are under barrina tx-s60 grow bars that run 12 hours per day and I am wanting to increase to 14 hours per day. Small fan runs on low oscillating over them while grow lights are on.

Humidity is 65-80%. Temperature is 77 or higher in summer and 67 in winter. These plants are within 3 feet of a 3’ wide by 5’ tall window. There is reflective privacy film on the window. I do have a grow light in case they need it during the winter. They seem to be doing fine with the light from the window right now.

I recently bought a begonia rex fire woman. When it arrived the dirt was everywhere and it didn’t even last a day. They replaced it for me, but the second one has even more dirt everywhere. I tried removing all the cotton that was down in the dirt and ended up repotting it. It looks awful and the leaves are shriveling up. I read up on them because I’ve never had a begonia before and it says there will be a rhizome that will need to sit horizontal right at soil level and not buried. Looks like the tots are supposed to grow down and the leaves will grow up from the rhizome. The one I got has roots growing straight from the bottom of the plant, like my other plants.
Is this a hard plant to keep, or am I just doing something wrong

Reported my peace lily last night and today it is dropping really bad. I honestly don’t remember that it did this the last time I repotted it. My daughter had to help me add it is a large cultivar. It was out of the soil for a while as we were trying to make sure the old soil (I used a different mix) was completely gone. I didn’t want to have different types of soil that would cause issues if not mixed together.
Anyway, is it common for peace lily to be this droopy the following day? Just hoping I didn’t somehow injure it or mess it up.

I am in Kentucky and looking for a Tradescantia Blue Sue. I’ve also seen them called Mystic Blue and Mirage.
Anyway, I’m not sure where I can find a reputable source for one.
I don’t want to spend a fortune, and I’m perfectly fine getting a baby plant, but I want to know that I’m getting what I want.
Any ideas or sources y’all know of in my area?
