I’m in awe of you. You move move your plants several times a DAY?? I have to psych myself up to move mine outside twice a year.

Sometimes they are touching and I really don’t see any difference in the growth. Some of my plants can definitely use some stunting so I wish touching them and cramming them together would stunt them a tad, but it really has not. I would guess if you leave plants packed together it would definitely effect their growth. But since mine are on wheels and get moved constantly throughout the day they really don’t get cramped. They don’t grow as fast in the summer when they are outside, but inside they grow like crazy and get too big.

The Dragon tree is in the middle. They aren’t quite touching, but I recently noticed that the Dragon tree is starting to lean slightly away from the Jade, more toward the ZZ, and the tips of the Dragon’s leaves are browning a bit on the side next to the Jade.
Do some plants just not like being next to each other?

They shouldn’t do, unless the walls are really cold, although I suppose if soft new growth is touching the walls they may get marks on them. Loads of my plants have leaves touching the walls with no damage.

I wanted to know if the leaf tips can touch the wall or will that damage them, it’s fairly large about 3ft tall?
