Hey everyone! I'm u/lllwpa, a founding moderator of r/wheresthefuckingsoil. This is our home for all things related to root-bound plants in dire need of soil. We're excited to have you join us!

What to Post Post anything that you think the community would find interesting, helpful, funny, or inspiring. Feel free to share your thoughts, photos, or questions about root-bound plants.
Community Vibe I love seeing all the pictures posted in this sub of plants that, honestly, sometimes look alien-like. If you have plants, I'm sure you've dealt with them being root-bound, when that happens, take advantage of an average situation and post a picture here. We all get a laugh. And have a look at other pictures, so you know youre not the only one. Keep it friendly, ask or give advice where possible, and keep posting your plants!
How to Get Started 1) Introduce yourself in the comments below 2) Post something today! Even a simple question can spark a great conversation. 3) If you know someone who would love this community, invite them to join. 4) Interested in helping out? We're always looking for new moderators, so feel free to reach out to me to apply. I am not great at replying, so do bear with me while I understand the "roots" of running a sub
Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/wheresthefuckingsoil amazing.

I snapped these photos a while ago. I left them as-is (take only pictures, leave only footprints). Hopefully nobody ate them based on street/business proximity and the potential for chemicals. Urban garden? You decide.

This Cyrtanthus mackenii (Amaryllidaceae) has been bagged for quite a while (bought maybe two years ago, I think), and today I decided to finally tackle it. I was aware the grower had put multiple bulbs together , but I had no idea how many.
Before the pic was taken, I did already start spraying the root ball with water in order to get a better idea of what I was looking at, but it didn't really make much of a difference. Just a dense ball which I had to slowly break into smaller pieces.
This plant doesn't mind being a bit rootbound, but I decided to divide it before planting it out into my garden. Got quite a lot of bulbs out of this one bag!

I started this sub out of chance. I never would've expected it to reach a number even close to this.
Thank each and everyone of you for keeping such an awesome community alive and thriving (just like the trees that grow from tarmac)

Finally got to go to Mt Rainier this past week and saw couple plants that my first thought was where's the fucking soil! Second on one was that would make a great bonsai lol

Have included both top and ground level view
Edit: I am not entirely sure, but to me it looked like so Apparently it is 2 different trees growing together
The pointed leaves are the peepal tree and the dark green leaves are from the banyan tree

Hey everyone,
It is a Friday night where I am (NZ); I am feeling bored and have just submitted an assignment after around 5 hours of typing and reading. My eyes need something visual to look at.
Please post your fav OC of any crazy root-bound plant, plant growing somewhere crazy, or just anything related to plants and lack of soil.
Who knows, if I like one enough, maybe I will make it the new sub picture/timeline pic.
also, any ideas on improvements I can make to the community? Or some ideas of new flairs to add etc. Let me know!
Love,
Travis (Serial refuse to repoter, lover of plants in silly places and enjoyer of tourist destinations such as "That Wanaka Tree")

Not my photo. Just found it amusing
r/wheresthefuckingsoil • u/senseich333ks • 5d ago
I took this photo last year in August ! This was when I was about to hop on the light rail & noticed it 🥹
Who knew I’d find the perfect community to put this beauty !?

Meanwhile my attempts at growing sunflowers in pots totally flopped this year
