Thank you

Hello..this guy is a Vertical Leaf Propeller Plant. Since his leaves are not close together Iâm going to assume that he has done some stretching- unfortunately I realized kinda late how direct succulents prefer their light. I added grow lights but. They were added a bit too lateâčïž. Can the top of this guy be cut off, allowed to callous over, and be replanted? If so how much should I take off? Should I cut the piece I remove into more than one piece to replant? Thank you!!

So I bought my Monstera on 3/11. I havenât watered it yet since it had already been watered the day I bought it. Itâs due for another watering today, but unsure if I should because I noticed there is a thin whiteish layer of mold on top of the soil, along with a bunch of baby weeds popping up.
What is the best way to repot it and get rid of the moldy soil?? Thank you!!!
In the pics you can see the weeds but itâs hard to see the mold in there.

Some months ago I took a cutting from my big philodendron pedatum plant, tried putting it in water for roots to start but no luck so far as you can see and the end is a bit slimy. But the plant looks happy overall. đ Any ideas? Or will this just not work?

I keep hoping to find a treasure while Iâm out and about. Maybe today was my lucky day?

*leggy fiddle leaf fig help*
Hi! Iâve had this Fiddle Leaf Fig for a few years. Propagated a few plants from it and moved it outside and itâs been growing some new leaves at the top as expected. However, I want to ask if there is a way to stimulate leaf growth lower in the stem.
Iâve looked online and I suspect the answer is ânoâ given the woody nature of the entire stem save for the top 20cm. In anticipation Iâve planted some Pothos to climb up the stem but would love to stimulate lower leaf growth if possible, advice welcome! đ€

Any tips for helping encourage new monstera leaves to unfurl? I recently repottted mine and itâs taking a bit for the new leaf to unwrap.
Thanks for the insight, friends! â€ïž

Any tips on growing air plants bigger? I just bought my first ones, and Iâm using a Planta-recommended watering schedule. Iâve also read itâs best to mist them lightly with an air plant fertilizer every day. But I donât want to risk getting them too wet. Any insights?? Thanks ahead of time!

Hi all! I have a sago palm that has been struggling a bit. It isnât dead but ever since I tried transitioning it outside(probably did this too abruptly) it has browned some and hasnât had any new growth. Does anyone have any advice? I have recently tried repotting it as well as getting it a bit of occasional fertilizer.

About 1/3 of my dieffenbachiaâs leaves have suddenly started to yellow. This happened once before late last year. Planta suggested it might have been over-fertilized and recommended I give it a shower. It appears to have happened again. There is plenty of new growth coming along, so I donât think itâs sick. Iâm wondering if anyone else has had this happen before?

My string of đąđą have these cute tiny baby leaves from so long. They were under a grow light for a month and Iâve moved to a southwest window for light. Are they slow growing plants? When do the leaves become mature / a little bigger? Am I missing something from doing here or is it just patience that I need to have đ? Any experience you have and would be willing to share with me ? Thank you.
