Where can I ask a gardening question?

A large gardening discussion community for growing and plant care — separate from “what plant is this?” identification rooms.

r/gardening is for growing plants and garden care discussion. If you only need a species ID from a photo, the plant-identification communities are usually a better fit.

Where to ask

r/gardening

Best for: How-to growing questions, garden care and plant cultivation discussion.

Why it fits: Its public description: “A place for the best guides, pictures, and discussions of all things related to plants and their care.”

Read r/gardening’s current rules on Reddit

Before you post

  • Include your hardiness zone or climate and whether the plant is indoor or outdoor.
  • For “what plant is this?” photos, use the plant-identification page instead.
  • For a sick houseplant diagnosis, the plant-clinic style communities may fit better after you read their rules.
