My hope is we’re still working towards the replacement tech tree

It looks like a philodendron of some kind, but the leaves also look like a bat plant.
I’d wager it’s an aroid of some kind

This is a ZZ plant, it does not want direct sunlight.
It will grow under artificial lights just fine, in fact throw it on your desk at the office without a window in sight and the fluorescent lights will do enough.
In your home if the ZZ plant can see a window it’s likely fine, however this one does appear slightly etoliated AND like it has some nutrient issues

Recycling the components for the metals and other bits in them is a good use though.
Selling computer equipment to rife with security concerns and compatibility issues isn’t charity

Your assessment of substrate compacting over time is a good one, one reason repotting is important!
For a per plant basis, if you can find a plant store nearby I bet the owner would love to tell you how (and show you products specifically designed) to care for your plants.
What kinds do you have? I’m happy to talk plants :)

They can’t. This article is … nonsense.

My bioluminescent petunias can breed with other petunias and I’ve been trying to get the glow gene across BUT I think it’s a twofer mutation so relatively hard to “breed in” natively.
My petunias are not sterile, the USDA didn’t require them to be either.
- Comment on Chinese Scientists Made Glowing Plants with Firefly DNA to Replace Streetlights 2 months ago:
I’ve been growing petunias bioengineered to bioluminesce for years, they were developed by a grad student and team in Idaho.
So. Did they do it in a new way?
