Can you show me pictures of your mature white princesses? I’m conflicted and considering getting rid of mine because I just don’t love it like I thought I would. Maybe because I don’t have it on a pole or it’s because it’s still young? Idk I’m just not super happy with mine even though it’s been consistently putting out new leaf back to back as of lately.
💚🌱✨
Found this beautiful El Choco Red Philodendron at Home Depot today! A few damaged leaves but worth the $20 I paid for it 😍😍😍
what do you suggest for potting a ring of fire? mine is still in the nursery soil and it’s definitely holding way too much water. should i look into leca? sphagnum moss? just bite the bullet and make a homemade mix? i’ve got dr earth’s potting mix and cactus mix at home but i’m not sure they’re the right choice :/
She was sold to me as a possible tri because she used to have a bottom leaf that she lost that had a smidge of pink in it.. I am SO happy to see another new leaf with a little pink on there!!
Idk what is going on with my Birkin! I am getting lots of new leaves that open all white and turn brown before they turn green! Only watered when dry and in a south/southwest window.
Hey! My Birkin has never done this. The new leaf is more brown than it looks in the photos. Any ideas of what’s going on?
Happy humpday
Can anyone explain what these little dots are??😭 there’s even one on the brand new leaf that hasn’t completely opened yet😭 I haven’t noticed any pests and tbh I took a little extra time before watering this time - I’ve had it for months and it’s shot up so I’m confused what these are😭
Just an update on my Billie!!! 😍 she’s coming alive now and seems to have acclimated to my grow spot so well!! She’s moving so much ! I’ve been struggling finding a moss pole for my climbers so today is the day I think I’ll try to make my own!
My philodendron kids 🥹 my partner got me the Prince of orange and the ring of fire recently. I’ve had my pink princess for 2 months she’s given me 2 new leaves and beautiful variegation. My bipennifolium has given me back to back new leaves all growing season so far (3 now). Love them 🥹🥹
Super excited to have found a pink princess at my grocery store for $15!
so excited to see this new leaf on my squamiferum unfurl! first new leaf since i got it :)
Okay guys. I accidentally broke off my new leaf on my PPP. It was very new growth and it broke down into the sheath of the last leaf that grew out. Will it still grow more leaves from here? Is there anything I can do to help it?
Should I clip the top to help growth? Im really new to this and would like any advice you have. I’m not even entirely sure what type it is but it’s my favourite.
Hey, plant peeps! I was trying to figure out what kind of philodendron this is. I was gifted it. Any help in identifying would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Recently got this Philodendron Gloriousum from a plant friend on facebook and although she’s GORGEOUS i’m not a huge fan of the pot she is in/the way she sits in it. It’s very bare on one side, full on the other. (It appears to maybe be 2 plants, side by side, but unsure). Would it be okay to repot her in a less wide pot and put the stems vertical? With supports? I’ve never had a philodendron before, and i’ve just come to find out this is a “special one” so I don’t wanna hurt it. Tips, tricks, repotting advice needed and welcomed! 🪴
Hi 😊 Army Veteran 🫡 & New here. I’m not sure this is the right plant(Philodendron) however I used the app to diagnose him. His name is ‘Blue’ 🩵. I just recently ordered a humidifier and the amount of sun you see is about how much sunlight he gets. There are 6 other plants nearby and I see no signs of ‘enemies’ 🙄 However, he isn’t as perky as I’d like. Does he look ok? The app says he’s sick. 🫣 Aside from the humidifier arriving soon…. Any other tips? I also mist him and the others daily and water according to the apps recommendations.
I took advice from one group member here and transported it into a smaller pot. I checked its roots and so far it looked pretty good. Looks like keeping it in a bigger pot made the poor thing take in too much water. I made sure to put it in tropical soil this time along with some LECA balls, topped it off with Epsom salt and poured some water mixed in with Superthrive (to help it thrive with its new pot) along with a seaweed/kelp fertilizer. I’m keeping it in a shady spot so can adjust to its new pot.
So what do you guys mark as your soil type when using a typical aroid mix? I’m using 1/3 potting soil, 1/3 orchid bark, 1/3 perlite. Just trying to get Planta’s watering schedule as accurate as possible and I cant decide which of their soil options to pick.
