Hi my birkin philodendrons leaf started curling weirdly like this idk what could be the problem. I’m a plant noob. Maybe not getting enough light? I have it under a grow light 4 hrs a day because it’s too windy outside rn.

Help! I’ve been so excited that this slow growing plant finally put out a new leaf, and it looks like it’s damaged. What could’ve caused this? Appreciate your help!

Can anyone tell me why Phil Hartman has started sprouting white leaves? I suspect it may have to do with low light over the winter months. Will they get greener with increased lighting? Is this a sign of poor health or the magic of its nature? Thanks!

My happy little Philodendron named Thistle is growing new leaves every few days! When should I repot to a bigger pot?? She looks like she might be outgrowing this one?

Meet Rio. I bought him from the grocery store today for $3. I am surprised it wasn't soaked. I hope I can keep him alive because I killed my other one with overwatering.

What do I have here? Found her on the Walmart clearance rack, label is super generic, just says “philodendron.” Thanks!

Can someone help me identify these please! I think its some kind of philodendron. I found them sad and wilting with no tag to identify and knew they needed some love and would look so cool once they had a good home! Thank you! Also I cut a few leaves off that were goners…. but the leaves I cut were fenestrated leaves if that helps!

I just got this pink princess and I accidentally broke one of the leaves off and I just want to make sure it doesn’t die do I need to do anything else with it or can I just leave it alone?

This is my new Golden Crocodile that I got yesterday. She/he is not picture perfect, but if you’ve been through a Cat 4 hurricane a little over 3 months ago-you wouldn’t be either😁 I love she/he (don’t know which yet 😉)-maybe it’s the shared trauma bonding us.

So I plan on repotting this girl today, it came in the mail about two weeks ago and I think it's well acclimated now and she's been a bit rootbound but is this also rot? And why does one root look a little... idk like swollen? Also if it's root rot what's the best course of action?

Saved this beauty from serious root-bound and put it in the longest thing I could find so he can crawl. He’s in east facing window and there are grow lights in the room but not “on” him. He’s pouting. Anyone have a similar issue?

I’m really bummed! I bought this beautiful Birkin a few weeks ago. It was gorgeous when I brought it home. But it seems to be struggling. I potted it with a lipstick plant, which I thought had the same kind of needs. But my Birkin has lost several leaves, and looks like it will lose a couple more, even though it’s putting out new leaves. It’s about 12 feet away from my west facing window, but I’m using a grow light. It has good drainage. I’m keeping the soil damp, not wet. I’m misting it every couple of days as Planta suggests. Any ideas on what I’m doing wrong? 😢 The first pic is when I brought it home. The others are from today.
