I’m new here and new to plants. What type of fertilizer should I use?
Hello planty friends! My BOP shot up a few new leaves recently, and a couple have unfurled before reaching a height above the older leaves. Will the new leaves still continue to shoot upwards? It’s looking a little unpleasant and crowded having unfurled so low 😅
Can anyone tell me how to keep string plants from thinning out and then getting dry brittle stems at the top of the plant? This is the longest I’ve kept one alive. They don’t do well for me.
Can someone tell me what this is?? It doesn’t look like a paddle to me
Any tips for a healthier Monstera? Mine seems a little sad 🥲
This is my dieffenbachia! It loves this window and has grown 3x it’s original size. I’m wondering if I need to replant it in a larger container and should I put more supports in it to lift up the stems? If so, how do I do that?
What type of philodendron is this? I was told it could be either a Florida ghost or Florida green. Please help!
Does this look like foliage burn? I recently moved my golden pothos a little closer to a south facing window in my home. I leave my curtain open when I go to work and it might get a bit of direct sunlight here and there throughout the day. Should I move it further away? Other than that she is thriving!
My poor ivy has been losing so many leaves lately. Does anybody know what’s wrong? I’m thinking it might be overwatered, but I’m following Planta’s advice. Should I just back off from watering and misting for a while?
I won this Baltic blue pothos from a giveaway last year. Yeah, pure luck 🍀☺️Well, my concern is why this plant is not developing fenestrations. What can I do to boost that ? Thank you plant people.
I received this plant in the mail in the winter. It was about 5 inches tall with four leaves, two of which were dead. I managed to save it, and it is one of my favorites. I just added this plant light because that’s a sort of dark corner and now all the leaves are heading straight up. Should I just leave it? The leaves look healthy and they’re splitting like they’re supposed to.
Got my first Swiss cheese monstera, trying to grow this cutting. Not sure what’s wrong with it, but it’s not at green as the others and it looks pretty droopy. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
According to Planta this is a Veined Haworthia. When I bought it it only consisted of the base part of the plant. It very quickly started growing from the middle. This is the result so far. Does this look normal? Do I need to prune it in any way? Thank you!
Anybody know how to propagate the wax Succulent? Would like to cut and regrow as it’s lost its lower leaves and is falling over.
Is organic 1-1-1 fertilizer safe for all kinds of plants? I know there are special/specific fertilizers for tomatoes, tropical, succulent, fruit trees, etc — but if I just use 1-1-1 across the board, is that going to hurt anyone?
What is this on my Alocasia bulb? I have no idea what it could be I found something that relates to issue as it is only with my black velvet Alocasia. Relieved!!!
Why can I not for the life of me keep a thriving striped Calathea in my home alive. She just doesn’t like my apt no matter how much I try to give her humidity she just doesn’t grow. Ps I have a cat that eats her too
My ficus Audrey appears to have sent out roots above the soil. Has anyone seen this or know if it’s a problem? I know she needs to get repotted but I’m moving in a couple months and the idea of moving an even bigger pot seems daunting since she’s already super heavy. Any suggestions on what to do in the meantime?
any care tips for a kangaroo paw fern?
What kind of plant is this? I am thinking it might be some type of orchid but I am not sure. What do you think?
