SPA DAY! I had a number of plants on the list to mist, and really didn’t feel like it. So some of them are getting a cold mist spa treatment!

HELP!!! My beautiful large Kalanchoe plants, these are two of the four I have but they all look like this, are losing leaves and have the powdery mildew AGAIN. They had it late last March into April so I cut them all BACK to just stalks. Then in May I put them outside on our deck for the summer in full sun. They totally came back to life and were thriving when they came back inside in mid October. I live in Southern NH so they had to grind them in. I’ve had these plant for over 10 YEARS and they’ve always done beautifully. I’ve sprayed them with a powdery mildew solution that was recommended to me by two different garden clubs and research online. They are getting worse instead of better. It’s breaking my heart. Any help out there would be greatly appreciated.

Any way to know whether these brown tips are from under or over watering?! I had mistakenly repotted with compost in spring, tried to undo and use potting soil in autumn. So it might be dryer than it was used to?! But everything seems to say Dragon Trees are more susceptible to being over than under watered. The holes are so tiny at the bottom I can’t tell if the soil there is damp

Should I avoid misting my bathroom plants (peace lily, bostern fern, crispy wave)? Shower is over a bath (so not enclosed) so the room gets pretty steamy every day!

Hi all, Loving how well my Schefflera is doing, but looking for some advice. It’s about ready for a repot, but not sure if I should prune it. Are the stems too close together where they have split (leaves are all very intertwined at the top). Will this cause problems later on? Thanks

Hey all, I have a nerve plant, that is thin, it’s gotten taller but not thicker.. it’s on a nice watering cycle and I have verbalized.. i tried propagating but those died like a day after.. so now idk what to do, I looked up different videos and did the propping the way they said but both ways didn’t work, they get droopy and died. Now it’s thin, it has new leaves but idk how to help it look thicker.. and some of the leaves are drying out even though the humidity and watering schedule are perfect.. I know they like to be moist so I have been doing that, I’ve been keeping a humidifier in the room near it to help with humidity and I have it in a warmer room because it was out in the green house but the green house is cold right now.. I need all the tips o can get.. will it get bushier on its own? Or should I try to fill in the space with more plant? The picture in the app isn’t accurate but idk if I have a good picture of it

I rescued this umbrella plant from my work, it’s rather leggy and the stems have grown in weird directions. Previous owner had tied it to wooden dowels. I was thinking of chopping and propagating? Any tips?

Greetings! I’m moving and the new place doesn’t have the best natural light for my 40+ plants… all of my plants are thriving and I’ve never had any need for grow lights until now. May you please help a sister out and recommend some great grow lights? TIAšŸ«¶šŸ¾
