Turning a Small Instagram Account into a Community Hub

I recently started posting daily tips about urban gardening because I love sharing what I learn from my small balcony garden. I noticed, though, that even when I try to create helpful posts, like step-by-step instructions for growing herbs, the reach is still quite low. Last week, I made a reel showing how to repot plants efficiently, hoping people would find it useful, but it barely got noticed. I feel like my content could really help beginners, but I don’t know how to make it visible enough without spending all day trying to engage manually with every similar account. Has anyone experienced this or found a way to boost visibility effectively without feeling like you’re constantly begging for attention?
