Brought a few plants to brighten up my classroom and they are loving it here! 😍
are these new leafs? why are they so long?!?
Can someone please help me identify this baby? It was just a stem someone gave me. 😆
Most proud of this plant as it had thrips, barely any leaves and significant root rot as it was in a large deep pot (had to scoop rotten tree truck out of the rotten parts). Now it is just thriving. Ginseng Ficus Bonsai
She used to be so perky. I have a thing for rubber plants but they don’t love me back as much as I love them. 😩
Found this elegant little beauty at our local grocery store for $8! Peperomia “Frost.” I’m a sucker for velvety leaves! I giddily ran to my husband at checkout and walked out with it and a huge smile moments later.
Does anyone know what these white dots are? My money plant looks happy and perky, but I never noticed these white dots on the underside of some of the leaves. Any clues what this is? They seem to come off if I rub them off. Is this some type of pest? They don’t move and are only in the bottom of some of the leaves 🧐 it’s on my dining room table, next to a south facing sliding door. TIA
my new calathea! she's so pretty! 😍 pink undersides of her leaves. just gorgeous
just wanna share my calathea ^.^ I love her
Is there any pest? I’ve been thinking about this is my rubber plant
Anyone help?
Norbit, my monstera deliciosa, and all his glory
I bought this Croton months ago it wasn’t in great shape but not horrible either . I am finally getting new growth & I’m just wondering from any of your guys experience are the new leaves starting as all green normal or do I need to do something different . The colors might look weird in this pic but they are vibrant in person & I know I need to wipe them down which is tomorrow’s chore. I have it with grow lights so it’s getting plenty of light . I’m just curious about the baby leaves .
I heard somewhere to cut leaves that are smaller because they are draining the energy from the plant. I don’t know if my monstera needs that… any thoughts? I want her to be lush and healthy. Maybe just add a support for that stem? Thanks!
She’s so pretty! 😌 Left Photo - July 7th Right Photo - Today! 🖤
Show some love for my mighty spider plant 💚
hi everyone! i have what i believe to be an alocasia regal shields. when i bought it 3 weeks ago, it was labeled as an elephant ear plant (which can apply to many different types) the first pic is shortly after i purchased the plant and repotted her. i have since cut off two leaves, one of which was drooping and the other was damaged and beginning to droop. i did this to hopefully promote new growth. also, i removed 10+ corms when i repotted her i noticed a few days ago a new leaf was growing. when i checked on her today, i noticed that this may actually be a flower? i’ve never had one of my foliage plants flower so i’m unfamiliar if 1. this IS a flower and 2. if i should let it flower i’ve seen conflicting things online. some people say that this is a sign the plant is happy and healthy, but others are saying that a plant will flower instead of putting out new leaves if it thinks it’s going to die for context, i live in NE FL. it sits in front of my apartment which is west facing, gets plenty of indirect to direct sunlight, and is also covered by a small roof. i sometimes move her in front of the roof when i know it’s going to rain that day.
Why is my poinsettias leaves starting to go curly?
Hello, Got these two fiddle leafs today from a friend. Wanted to chop the top off and propagate since the stem is very bare on the bottom section. Any advice? Unsure of where to chop since theirs two stems coming off a single trunk. Also will chopping the top and cutting off the bare stem kill the small baby at the bottom? Never had a fiddle leaf so any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance!!
So I bought this Strelitzia last June form a garden centre. Zola was all beaten up and had powdery mildew. Anyways she’s settled in and produced around 6 new leaves and has 2 more on the go. The older leaves pictured are the now more damaged ones. While she’s producing new growth is it worth pruning out the old leaves and if so how far would I cut back?
