Is “croton Mamey” the same thing as “croton mammi”? Also Mammy and maybe others?

I accidentally overwatered this when I fell asleep with a toddler last night and it sat in water overnight. This new leaf curled under!! Should I repot, even though I just did that recently? And is the curled leaf a goner?

(I put this in the General area, but I figured I could put this here as well). I’m a beginner at this, but I have two Mexican Snowball plants, a Echeveria plant and a Zebra plant all in a glass bowl together, and I was wondering (because of there size not now, but if) do I have to repot them at any time? Or do I not? I have a money tree in there was well, but because of my pets I’m going to take it out and give it to someone close just because I don’t want my pets to get in it. I bought this from someone at a vendor fair today and filled out the information on the app and it is watered but I just wanted to ask (this is my first time and I want to try to keep it alive for a long time).

Hi all!! Here with a radiator question. I live in MPLS and have a lot of radiators located near windows. I’m terrified of putting plants near or on top of these which sucks because they get fantastic light. Specifically the one behind my couch is long beneath a huge window, but every plat I put her seems to die. So my question is what kind of plants will be well suited for these locations (warm, drying, sun). I’m thinking cacti but anything else? I’d love something full, with foliage if possible.

Alright Planta fam… I just preordered one of my wishlist plants… the beautiful Monstera Thai Constellation… they’re supposed to start shipping in June… that means I have 3 months to learn everything I need to know to help it live it’s best life… so, any and all advice is much appreciated. 😁

Hello..this guy is a Vertical Leaf Propeller Plant. Since his leaves are not close together I’m 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 late☹️. 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!!

What am I doing wrong with my Jeweled Crown? Is there anything I can do to save him or is he done for?

So I bought my Monstera on 3/11. I haven’t watered it yet since it had already been watered the day I bought it. It’s 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 it’s hard to see the mold in there.

Told myself I wasn’t going to buy another calathea until I mastered care for my Freddie (that I bought last year as a complete newbie - it’s seen better days…) But a Rattlesnake caught my eye at the grocery store just now and I had to get it 😭 I have a general idea but wanted to hear from y’all…what are your calathea care tips?

So my birds nest fern came in a wick and grow pot. Should I change it out or keep it 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. 😊 Any ideas? Or will this just not work?

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

*leggy fiddle leaf fig help* Hi! I’ve had this Fiddle Leaf Fig for a few years. Propagated a few plants from it and moved it outside and it’s 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. I’ve looked online and I suspect the answer is “no” given the woody nature of the entire stem save for the top 20cm. In anticipation I’ve planted some Pothos to climb up the stem but would love to stimulate lower leaf growth if possible, advice welcome! 🤗
