I'm looking for the best ways to get help with multiple plants. Is Reddit a good place for this kind of support? Are there any free apps that can assist me in caring for various plants? I previously used Planta, but I found that most helpful advice is behind a paywall. I really need guidance on things like watering and fertilizing, but it feels overwhelming as a new plant parent. Any suggestions for websites or forums that can simplify my plant care without sending me on a scavenger hunt?

I started my plant collection slowly to get a sense of what each one requires. I can’t imagine trying to care for a bunch at once—it’s a real juggling act! I totally understand how you feel, especially if some plants are starting to struggle after getting so many at once.
I use Planta too, but I usually come here or check out specific plant subreddits when I need advice. I totally get how overwhelming it can be to take care of a lot of plants. Last year, I ended up with over 150 plants because I just couldn't help myself! Just take it slow, and you’ll figure it all out eventually.
Lol we have a similar problem! I admire your plant collection! But honestly, I feel you on the stress it brings sometimes.
Yeah, I’m thinking about doing the same if I can't find a good all-in-one solution. Good luck with your plants!
I can relate! My healthiest plants are ones I’ve had for a long time, but I just got a bunch of new gifts and it's stressful trying to keep them all alive. I’m learning the hard way what they truly need.
