My home office. I couldn’t do it without my plant friends.
Working from home was a difficult transition for me, but adding plants (and having good light) make all the difference. I thought you folks would approve.
This is a beautiful setup!
I love it! Looks great. I'm jealous, I've had to severely limit my houseplant numbers and locations because my cats will try to eat anything and everything, even the plants that supposedly sting or taste awful to them. I'm hoping they grow out of it one day so I can have something set up like this!
This is my dream set up. Absolutely gorgeous!!! Half nature half tech
Lovely, thank you for sharing! For some reason I can't see any comments in jerboa atm, so please excuse if this has already been asked. What is the tall one on the left, and is it happy to stay away from the light? All office greens complain when they're not plastered up against a window.
The tall one on the left is an arabica coffee plant I’ve grown from seed. It’s actually fine with the indirect light from being away from the windows and from the bright lights above.
Gorgeous! I agree that having plants around makes working from home so much better. I have an ivy on my desk that has grown so much alongside my career! What kind of mouse is that? Looks ergonomic af.
It’s definitely ergonomic and helps wrist and thumb tendinitis I’ve been dealing with.
It’s the “Logitech Lift Vertical Ergonomic Mouse”
This is beautiful.
I love the vibe! Being surrounded by life has a way of making a room feel so peaceful
This is beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic vibes. Are the plants getting all their light from the window or do you have grow lights in there too?
It’s a combination of the windows and some 6000-lumen garage lights I put in the van lights above. You can kinda see one of those at the top of the pic.
Wow it looks so good!
Is that the Rocinante!?
Also, nice plants!
It is! Nice eye. There are other nerdy Easter eggs placed around as well.
ETA: needy to nerdy
Welcome to the jungle, u gonna die :)
I'm so jealous. I've never had a green thumb and we have almost no direct sunlight in our house, so plant growing just is never going to be a thing. But I grew up with a mother and grandparents who filled their houses with plants and I do miss it.
Plant goals!
Me and my partner love having plants indoors but we get infested with gnats. We've tried hydrogen peroxide, and the yellow insect stickies and drying the soil out but nothing seems to work.
Any tips?
A few things have helped. The yellow stickies have done a lot to slow them down. I’ve also put about an inch of perlite (or vermiculite) on top of the soil as I’ve heard they can’t lay eggs in it. As a last resort I’ve take a few pots outside and totally replaced the soil when nothing else worked.
Once they’ve set in, I’m not sure there’s any winning. All you can do is beat them back.
If you want solution that actually works:
1/4 tsp per gallon of water. Water with it once or twice. Done for a long time, they won’t come back.
-I work with commercial flowers.
I’m not a fan of pesticides on my food, but for ornamentals indoors I see no issue with is.
Oooh is it true that its pretty toxic for pets?
Systemic granules. These are the solution, hands down. I’ve tried absolutely everything and this is the only solution that genuinely works. Neem oil did nothing. Mosquito bits kinda work, but they only kill the larvae and you have to keep re-applying it. Systemic granules will solve the problem
God damn thats beautiful!
It's beautiful! I want more plants for my apartment, but I have to find some that my cat won't to nibble on, won't hurt her if she does nibble anyway, and also isn't difficult to care for
Wow! Thats a super nice setup, looks cozy! :)
So beautiful! I tried to plant basil from the supermarket 3 times and it died 3 times. I wish I had your skills and knowledge to keep so many plants alive.
Keep a plant journal! Write down what a plant needs (light, water, fertilizer, conditions) and then keep a daily log of what you did each day. Also look at your plants daily and you’ll be more likely to notice if it seems to need anything. :)
How’s the chair?
I quite like the chair. Once I started working from home it took some time for me to break a few cheap chairs before I finally decided to up my spending and get one that will hopefully last.
Yeah I’m at that point. Got my first chair and wasn’t disappointed with it but after a few months it really starts to wear down your back. So figured I should get something decent instead of getting a cheap replacement again and again.
Thanks for sharing the link.
I have that same chair. It infuriates me. Lots of support, thick padding, sturdy. Huge amounts of adjustment. So close to great. But the damn thing just won’t go low enough so it’s always pressing on the back of my thighs unless literally tilted forward. And the lumbar support is just a bit too much and starts to fatigue after me after a while regardless of the height you set it at. Mind you I’m 6”, 230lb. I think it’s specifically a “Big and Tall” chair, but it’s not described that way. I’ve had worse though.
A mix of technology and nature, I like it.
is that a keychron keyboard? i have a 75% one, but suprised how the full sized looks cool too. also love the plants and that small vent
It is a keychron! I tried the 75% one but I need the number pad.
Oh holy shit! That's gorgeous.
Beautiful!
Some birds and a vine snake will make it even better. Love it!
I love this setup so much
This looks awesome
That looks amazing!
Lovely! My fiance and I have just (finally) moved into a place of our own, hope i can get it looking like this!
This is so beautiful!
Swear to fucking god, if mine were this beautiful, I just won't get any work done!
What would be the reason why 12 people downvoted? Just curious. Man is just showing his setup and plants
This is how my living room is. People always make snide comments like we live in a jungle but it makes it so peaceful. I wish my office was like this! Need my wife to buy more plants lol - something I never thought I’d say
I’m not even a plant person but I love this setup!
