Hi all, Loving how well my Schefflera is doing, but looking for some advice. It’s about ready for a repot, but not sure if I should prune it. Are the stems too close together where they have split (leaves are all very intertwined at the top). Will this cause problems later on? Thanks
Hey all, I have a nerve plant, that is thin, it’s gotten taller but not thicker.. it’s on a nice watering cycle and I have verbalized.. i tried propagating but those died like a day after.. so now idk what to do, I looked up different videos and did the propping the way they said but both ways didn’t work, they get droopy and died. Now it’s thin, it has new leaves but idk how to help it look thicker.. and some of the leaves are drying out even though the humidity and watering schedule are perfect.. I know they like to be moist so I have been doing that, I’ve been keeping a humidifier in the room near it to help with humidity and I have it in a warmer room because it was out in the green house but the green house is cold right now.. I need all the tips o can get.. will it get bushier on its own? Or should I try to fill in the space with more plant? The picture in the app isn’t accurate but idk if I have a good picture of it
I rescued this umbrella plant from my work, it’s rather leggy and the stems have grown in weird directions. Previous owner had tied it to wooden dowels. I was thinking of chopping and propagating? Any tips?
Do I cut that long stem of my Hoya
One of my new snake plant leaves got so bit it broke off an older leaf on the same plant.
Has anyone ever experienced a translucent leaf on a Syngonium white butterfly before? So strange
Greetings! I’m moving and the new place doesn’t have the best natural light for my 40+ plants… all of my plants are thriving and I’ve never had any need for grow lights until now. May you please help a sister out and recommend some great grow lights? TIA🫶🏾
I did a thing! I got this Begonia Ferox about 2 weeks ago and she was NOT thriving, even with humidifiers on for half a day. I’m in the UK and our heating has just gone on which means the humidity has tanked. Her leaves were going black (I have had to prune half of them). So… I did this, as the ones I found to buy on the internet were pretty 💸. Hoping it helps others with humidity concerns! This is a basic aquarium (from a pet store), using the cardboard lid from the box it came in (wrapped in masking tape to stop it rotting). The cardboard meant that I could make a hole for an external air vent cover, a mini fan (designed for a reptile tank I think, and strapped to the air vent so it circulates new air) and two strip grow lights. Hoping it works! Humidity in there is hovering around 90 but there isn’t condensation which I think is good…? 🤞🏽
Can anyone ID this

I love variegated and blooming plants! Here’s a look at my windowsill.
It’s amazing how colorful the foliage in my backyard gets this time of year. This is with no filter. Just pure sunshine highlighting these autumn colors.
Can anyone tell me what kind of elephant ear this is?
Finally consolidated some albos today after 2 years of neglect 😌🫶
My two fairy-sized plants 1: Hedera helix “abundance” (miniature ivy) 2: Ficus pumila “quercifolia minima” (creeping oak ficus) Both are quite new to my collection. I’m hoping to keep them alive and healthy and use some of their clippings for new terrariums!
Hi extremely sorry for the question… I thought my silver inch was in good shape but in recent days one of the stem suddenly became twisted and started to dry off. And this morning it just easily got ripped when I was trying to lift it up a little. I am concerned bc I had four branches in the pot and this is the second one that suddenly breaks off. May I ask what might be the problem and how am I to fix the situation. Thank you!
Just got this dude any care tips/advice I always kill them but want to keep this guy alive 🎄
Just pruned some Fittonia Flowers off but now I’m wondering if I can prop them? If so then how? Thx!
My blooming “dude”! I had no idea this was possible in my house 🥲
