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.

    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.

    What would be the reason why 12 people downvoted? Just curious. Man is just showing his setup and plants

    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!

    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?

      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

      Try neem cake on top of the soil, it stinks, but it’s pet friendly. It saved my drama ficus twice. Also, you might be overwatering

        Haha, is it a really strong stink?

        Looks interesting. Also seems to have nutrients as well. Will look into this. Thank you!

          it’s not a deal breaker and after a few days it should go away, also depends on how much you use. I also used to mix it with soil, it might reduce the smell but I don’t bother lately since I don’t use too much. And it’s for sure better than spraying neem oil around lol

      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.
