Do I need to get a plant saucer for my snake plants and philodendron? Is that the norm? I don’t have one right now, but I want to water my plants. 😅

You don't "need" to have a saucer, but they are quite useful in case of accidental over watering to protect your furniture

Gotcha. Thank you! I’m just gonna use a temporary make shift saucer for now.

Fwiw, you should never be watering your snake plant enough that it needs to drain, they like to stay quite dry

I personally have the saucers and cork pads underneath the saucers to protect furniture. Even clay saucers can leak a little bit and I had an issue with some of my furniture, thankfully cheap stuff, getting water damage.

Lavender noob here. Got these at Trader Joe’s. It’s 100 degrees and sunny 12 hours a day here so def not putting them outside. Any good tips you found worked well for indoor lavender? Based on articles I read, seems like indirect sunlight & water every two weeks are what these flowers need. I got a lavender grow kit to try, too 😅

This plant used to be nice and symmetrical and as it’s growing it’s starting to droop on one side. Is this just the fate of this plant? Not sure if cutting it will do any good. Also is the brown part showing they’re getting too much sun or not enough water?
