The picture on the right is a before picture and the picture on the left is current. Since I trimmed off quite a few leaves because of black spot damage, (she is undergoing a treatment of neem), she is looking a bit sparse. Can I put a GROW LIGHT on her, even though she’s considered low light, and will it help her to grow back new leaves more quickly? If I do, do I start with low light and low strength, so I don’t shock her or should I go Head full speed with long light, high strength? I am very unclear how to use plant lights on plants and not cause them harm. TXS for any comments. 😊💚🪴

This is my baby Bird of paradise that i got home around 10 days ago. It is repotted with well drainage soil and is next to the humidifier
Out of the three leaves, two seem okay but one particular leaf has quite some damage since I got it and I noticed brown spots now on the stem. What should I do to fix it or not let it spread on the other two healthy leaves
Any help will be appreciated :)

My angel wing begonia is blooming! I grew it from one leaf about a year ago.

Hi!!
Question. So I am new to the app and to actual plant care for my babies. I haven’t received my misting bottle but I am scheduled for 11 mists today. If I don’t do it today will it negatively affect my babies. I haven’t ever misted before so I was just curious.
(I’ve also searched for an extra bottle but don’t have any)

Hello! My guy likes to lean a lot. Is this okay or should I do something ? (

I know this is not the right site to ask the question I just did in the previous post. I just picked a busy site and hoped somebody would get back to me. I’m just worried about getting necessary things done without going through the sites to find tasks that need to be done. That’s definitely a pain in the tutu! 😊💚🪴

Is anyone out there having a problem with daily tasks NOT SHOWING? I’ve messaged Emma, but have not gotten a reply. So I don’t know if it’s me or if it’s a glitch in Planta. TIA for any comments.

Hello! I decided to bring my raspberry moon caladium inside as the leaves kept drooping and dying. For context, I live in NE FL. I decided to repot her as she was in the nursery pot. During repotting, I separated out some of the baby plants into other pots.
I am worried because the leaves are still very droopy. I only repotted about 2 hours ago, however I don’t want the drooping leaves to die like the others.
Should I add temporary supports to them in the meantime?
I made my own chunky potting mix with potting soil, perlite, and cactus/succulent soil.

What kind of plant light would be best for a dark corner in my house where these poor plants live? Any ideas would be super helpful because I have no idea what I’m doing! 😊💚🪴

I have a prayer plant that looks relatively healthy (just a bit leggy), but the soil will not dry out! It’s been a full 2 weeks since I last watered it and the top inch of soil still feels very damp to wet. My apartment is a little chilly, but taking >2 weeks to dry out seems a little excessive to me. Why isn’t the soil drying out appropriately?

What are these? Can monstera grow new leaves at its base??

Guys I am not sure what’s going on with my prayer plant. He gets distilled water for watering but gets regular water for fertilizing. I don’t water exactly when Planta says, only when his pot feels lighter and he’s about half way dry. He’s facing a northwest window that gets a couple hours of morning sun and bright shady condition the rest of the day. The Planta light meter says it’s “part sun part shade”.
He was doing good until a month or two ago he started pushing out several roots that each started a new stem. There is also a new stem growth coming from the soil. One of the new roots/stems I cut off because it was dying (it’s doing better now in a prop jar with its own roots). But now random leaves are starting to die and in a weird way. The way the color is leaving the leaf is different from how they normally fade when they’re dying of old age. Also new leaves are coming in with weird streaks and even new leaves are dying. I have seen the roots recently and they look fine. Does anyone have any experience with this and know what’s going on?

Something shifted in my household last night. All of my rubber plants have reacted.
I can’t explain what.
Jr ( first photo) he’s tilted over the new growth.
And the others have curled their new leaves

Just planted some beautiful Jubilation Gardenias in my backyard, and I'm in love already! Reading that they're hard to care for, I'm up for the challenge! 😅🌱🪴🌞

Finally put my monstera in a new pot! Just waiting on a new rolling plant caddy and tray before I can bring it back inside
