Is there such a thing? Some of our plants inevitably grow towards the window quite a bit when I forgot to water them. A very slowly rotating plant stand seems like an obvious solution, but I haven't found any good offerings.

Quick search of "Rotating Display Stand" on Amazon returned a whole pile of results

Ah, display is the word to use. Thanks!

This seems like a solution without a problem.

Tell that to my very sideways baby Jade :(

[–] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Just… turn the pot around?

[–] IMALlama@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I forget to do so. Jade also needs frequent rotation for a week or so after you water it. Since I only water it every month or two it's very hard to fall into a habit.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Yeah, why waste electricity for something you can do, like, in half a second once/month?

I have aloe that would like to speak with you. An elephant ear or monstera can just deal with it, but a lot of plants will get wonky without rotation.
