So I got this Lambs ear and while repotting I noticed it had root rot, I separated the roots from the soil and cleaned them off but since there were two plants in the same pot and I only had one new pot, I had to put it back after cleaning the pot and replacing the soil. I can get another pot tomorrow, but should I immediately repot? Or wait till next watering day? Thanks!
Today I picked up some liquid fertilizer to add to my water, I’ve never used fertilizer before, should I be using it everytime I water or should it be like every other time? Thank you for any suggestions!
Perlite is supposedly a great addition to soil for plants that want to be drier (succulents). But I am having trouble finding a listing of other common house plants that best benefit from adding it. Can anyone direct me to a list or directory?
What happened to hibiscus, who I nursed into gorgeous through the winter and I just put outside?
So I just got this guy from one of our neighbors who couldn’t take care of him anymore and he has these purple-ish brown spots on most of his leaves, his soil seemed pretty dry so I gave him a bit of water. Anyone know what might have caused this?
Is there a way to remove the ‘generic’ pictures from a plant to only have our own pictures? It would be nice to be able to so we can scroll through the gallery of our own plant and just see how the plant has looked and how it looks now without having the pictures mixed with other random ones 😊
sooo, i just got an english ivy clipping as a gift, doesn’t have any roots yet because it was just cut and put in water. i was trying to find information about how to grow english ivy in a pot but wasn’t having a lot of luck 🤔 i was wondering what kind of pot to plant it in and how deep the pot has to be? do i immediately plant it in dirt or do i need to do something before planting it? should i put it in a hanging pot or not? sorry, that’s a lot of questions 😅if anyone has any tips, i’d appreciate it lovelies! <3
How do you water your african violets? Orchis?
I’ve had my snake plant, Charlie, for about a month or two now and I feel like it might be time to upgrade his pot… but I’m a first time plant mom and have no clue on how to repot a plant 😬 could someone give any suggestions? For sizing reference, this is a 6” pot.
So I’m moving home from college for the summer, then moving back to my own apartment in August. Does anyone have any advice on moving with plants? I have a big tote I was going to keep them in (no lid, of course) but I’d appreciate any tips! here’s a photo of my philodendron in her cute little tub
Got this one on clearance, no name of the plant anywhere. I think it’s a monstera, can anyone confirm? 🤎
Hi! I need help identifying this two cuttings. I got them from a friend, and the app is having trouble. I appreciate any help!
Trimming back. I’m terrible at trimming back, and this is too tall and leggy. Where should I trim this back?
It’s getting warmer here (zone 9b, I think) and it’s been rather humid. My house ranges from 75-77° and 50-62% humidity. I haven’t run my humidifiers in a couple of weeks. I’m finding that my plants aren’t drying out like they were last month. Is this to be expected? Here’s a pic of my newest fuzzy petiole leaf for attention…
My Crassula Mesembryanthoides, which is grown indoors, is starting to flower. Is this normal? I read somewhere that indoor succulents rarely flower.
Ok y’all! Just one more plant I need to ID. Rapidly losing leaves and needs help asap!
I got some goldfish plant clippings from my moms beautiful fully grown plant and I want to propagate one of my own! I’ve seen online that I should pluck the bottom few leaves to give the stem some room to sit in the soil (which i’ve done) and to keep it moist. Any tips or advice on getting this guy some life of its own?
Hi! Can anyone identify what plant this is? I don’t think the app is correctly identifying it (jewel orchid). Thanks!
Seeing a lot of of conflicting info on watering or not after repotting. Any thoughts?
Does anyone know if a snake plant can grow from me trimming off the excess end that looked too droopy? here’s photos of the roots in case anyone knows if it’s repairable?
