Hello, fellow Hobbits, how are you? There’s nothing like spending a bit of time around plants to revitalize you. Whether you go on a daily walk along a forest trail or tend to your verdant garden at home, you Pandas know for a fact what kind of positive impact spending time surrounded by nature really has on us all.

That’s where the r/gardening subreddit comes in. A wholesome online community of over 4.8 million members, it is a celebration of everything to do with gardens, green thumbs, and caring for plants. Aside from all the gorgeous pics that you’re about to see, you can also bask in the fact that gardening is something that we can all learn how to do well. All it takes is patience, a willingness to embrace your mistakes, and a supportive environment full of folks who can’t wait to lend you a helping hand.

Scroll down for some gardening goodness, upvote your fave pics, and tell us all about your relationship with the hobby in the comments, Pandas. What do you grow? How big is your garden? What’s your favorite plant and why? And when you’re done with this list, consider taking a stroll through Bored Panda’s earlier feature about the subreddit right over here.

Look closer, Kenny. First shot was taken from a much closer spot than the second image. The tree and house are still there in the second image, just not as visible.

    Since the last time that Bored Panda wrote about the r/gardening subreddit, the community has grown by over 800k people. We’re incredibly glad to see that. We believe the sub is an incredibly wholesome niche on the internet because it helps people relax, gives them a space to be proud of their achievements, and offers a venue for all of that hard-earned gardening wisdom.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Meanwhile, the rest of the internet (us included) can borrow a bit of inspiration for our own plant projects. We might feel bad that we’ve been unable to take care of Succulent Number 39, but after going on r/gardening, we know not to give up.

    In the lull between Bored Panda’s last feature about r/gardening, yours truly has improved a tiny bit. I’ve leveled up my green thumb and, this time around, the Hobbits might even let me back into the Shire!

    My Ficus is doing way better than before, and the Zamioculcas I’m taking care of for my friend is flourishing. I’m no master gardener yet (far from it!), but I definitely feel more confident about what I’m doing. One of the first things I do after waking up is to check on my plants. Hopefully, one day, I’ll have my very own garden where I can grow everything that doesn’t mind being under- and over-watered.

    One of the moderators helping run the r/gardening subreddit told Bored Panda during an earlier interview that there’s no such thing as a green thumb or a black thumb. “Anybody can grow plants. Just a little bit of attention paid will yield results," they told us.

    "I started modding on /r/gardening after I asked the [head] moderator about a post not appearing or something, and he offered me a moderator position," the mod, who wanted to stay anonymous, shared with Bored Panda earlier. Back then, over a decade ago, the sub had roughly 50k members.

    Probably somewhere along the west coast of North America, tons of moss grows just about everywhere there. I'm more curious about how they got it to survive so well. Moss rarely does well outside of where it's grown initially. From our experience, only around 10-20% of it actually survives when replanted. However, if you really want a moss garden, it can often do well in a jar. Look up "jar moss garden" or "moss terrarium", and there's tons of guides out there.

    The mod explained that the popularity of the online community all comes down to how wholesome the members are. The huge following, according to them, is due to the “good nature of the gardening community that makes people sub and stick around."

    "We have, by choice, never been a front-page (default) subreddit, so subs here are not accidental. As mods, we've always had a tough but fair policy on user conduct—like all gardeners have to keep the weeds at bay from time to time."

    A while back, Bored Panda had a good long chat about taking care of plants with Kamilė Trakytė, the co-owner of the ‘Kambarinės gėlės’ plant shop. The plant collector and business owner explained to us that the main issue that her customers face is related to overwatering. The vast majority of the time, the problem is just that—people watering their plants way too often.

    “People show their love for plants with too much attention and with too much water. Without knowing the subtleties related to the care of particular plants, it’s difficult to know how little water some of them require. People show their love with water, so ironically, they kill their plants with their love,” the plant expert shared with Bored Panda.

    For the people that never can get it to bloom, an orchid is the plant you have to be 'friendly abusing'. Aka put it in a spot with a little bit too much sun. Give it a bit too much water and let it sit in desert dry soil for a few days before watering. (unless you're trying hydroponics like I'm trying to master)

    “Root rot sets in and it’s hard to save plants that it affects,” she urged people living in colder climates not to give their plants too much water.

    “I recommend getting to know each plant you grow. The recommendations to water a plant X times every Y weeks are usually ineffective because they don’t take into account the unique conditions in your home,” she said.

    “So don’t spoil houseplants with too much water from the get-go. Usually, a plant tells you what it needs: if the leaves curl up, it wants water; if the plant becomes droopy and there are brown spots on the leaves, you’re giving it too much water,” plant shop owner Kamilė told Bored Panda.

    “Potted plants get all of their nutrients from the soil we plant them in. They grow in a very constricted space, unlike in nature, where complex nutritional trades occur between different organisms. Every time you water a house plant, some of the nutrients get ‘rinsed out,’ and used up,” she urged people to not forget to fertilize their plants.

    According to the plant expert, all-purpose fertilizers contain the three primary elements that house plants need. These are Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium.

    “Each of these nutrients has a different function. You can pick different fertilizers that contain varying proportions of these minerals to obtain different results. For instance, fertilizers with more Nitrogen will make plants bear more leaves. While more Phosphorus means more blossoms. But these considerations are secondary: all-purpose diluted synthetic or organic fertilizers do the job they need to do,” she said.

    My late grandma loved these. She had around five beautiful purple ones in her garden and was a great gardener. Then she got cancer and was fading away... At a point when she got dementia on top of it at only 75 years, my whole family took care off her. One day I spent some time with her and wanted to make conversation despite her dementia and showed her the gardening magazine she always used to read. The issue was covering Azaleas. She seemed to be sad about and told me that she always wanted to have a garden with azaleas to play with her grandchildren in, but unfortunately life would not give her any of it. I was the youngest of her 8 grandchildren. Dementia is hard. But ai really loved this woman to the moon and back. Miss you Oma Sigrid.

    My Dad (Tata) planted a walnut. Took 7 years to get his first nut from the tree. Time passed and each year, more walnuts. One year, he came home (had not netted it yet for that year) to find the buggers had taken EVERY walnut, nibbled only slightly on each one and dropped them all to the ground. He was so angry, he chopped the tree down and got a bell (like you might see on a sailing vessel) and rang it profusely every time the cockatoos got in to his fruit trees. I chuckle just thinking about it. I still ring the bell occasionally too.

    Try finding edible plants from your local area that just don't transport well (and thus aren't commercially viable). In North America, Pawpaw (Asimina triloba) and Thimbleberry (Rubus parviflorus) can be grown at home, but not commercially.

    If you want tomatoes for cooking, and end up with way too many, you can freeze them on trays (try to keep them from touching one another) then put them in bags. It changes the texture, so they're not really good for eating on their own or in something like a sandwich.

    Home-grown tomatoes are the best. If you have too many, experiment with oven drying halved cherry tomatoes, because they are a million times better than sun-dried tomatoes, and they freeze well.

    Citrus fruits will often develop a thicker pith when grown in dryer conditions. The same orange from California and Florida will look remarkably different when cut open.
