Hi everybody, no change with my plants so far. I named the Hoya Rya and the ZZ Mia. I know that I should focus on taking care of these and if I get more plants then I probably won’t take care of them and just focus and learn about a few at a time, but these plants are honestly a little too easy. I know it sounds weird but I was so hyped to take care of plants and now I water them every 24 days or something, and then spritz one every 6 days. So, I’m kinda wanting more plants because mine are boring. I’m not gonna actually do it, because I need to take care of these a little bit more first before just getting new ones, but honestly a little bored with them 😅 just wishing I could be more present in their lives I guess lol. I don’t know if there’s a way to do that, but if anyone has any magic tips then that would be helpful

Hello there! I was wondering if you think this is a solid leaf philodendron or a monstera of sorts. The leaves appear to be have ripped making the holes appear to be going all the way through. Thank you in advance! (Also I’m keeping her quarantined until I can clean and repot her in a fresh soil mix in case of bugs/mites lol )

What vendors do you recommend for online purchases of rare or variegated plants?

Hey!! A black thumb here 😅 My heart has finally healed from my last dead plant, and I went and got two new ones. A ZZ and a Hoya Rangsan. First time trying out Planta so I hope that’ll fix some things for me! So far adoring my new plants. Especially the ZZ. Plants that don’t flower are just so pretty. Some people just think color and delicacy are beautiful, but I think ground cover, succulents, big leafy plants, and small green ones are the most beautiful. Cross your fingers for me this goes well!! Also any advice on how to take care of these two would be appreciated. Or if you have any name ideas! I really like to name my plants. Call me crazy

Hello everyone! Just got this baby monstera, I have it on the corner of my desk at the moment, wondering if that’s too much light? It’s a south facing window, it mainly catches morning light coming from the background of the picture. Due to the angle i get mostly indirect light by late afternoon. Should I back it off and maybe put it on the ground?

Octopus amate problem It’s having issues lately. Leaves are turning quickly from pristine green to more and more yellowing as shown. Had for about a year and this is the first time I’m seeing this over quite a bit of the plant. I’ve seen it occasionally effect one just one petiole but never several at once. Any ideas? It gets consistent humidity, sun, water (checked using a soil meter prior to watering). Had a bunch of scale show up and have manually cleaned them off. I’ve never seen so many turn if it’s just due to scale?

With grow lights I can utilize a lot more of my shelf space 🥰 loving this setup above my (non functional) fireplace!

Hey everyone! I just picked this guy about one week ago. Any advice to keep it healthy and growing? Right now it’s in a window that gets 1.5 hours of direct light maximum in the early morning, and the rest is gentle indirect light (Oregon). Tips and Tricks?

Lowe’s clearance jackpot. Lovely way to start my weekend! 🪴

We had to move during a snowy winter day and many of my plants froze, it’s been a month and they are so much better now. You can notice the parts of the leaves that had survived and the ones that got cauterized by the freeze, however this is an appreciation post for the strength of nature and how he is fighting with new growth in all of the branches! There’s a skinny tall one that was just starting to grow but all of the leaves froze and it’s just branching around the middle part. Should I cut it down around that area? I’m currently waiting for all of those leaves to fall so I can make a move Thank you for any comments, and advices 🌱

Hello Planta friends, can you help identify this beautiful plant I just got? Planta doesn’t seem to be able to. It comes out as a Golden Photos which it clearly isn’t. Thanks for your help!
