I just checked my zebra plants' pH levels and it said it is 8.0 and it says the soil leavel is moist to wet, idk if that's bad, as you can see from the picture the first one is from November after a move, this poor thing has gone through a lot š© idk what I'm doing wrong i keep thinking I'm watering too much but then when i let it dry out it goes crazy sad and starts dropping leaves, it's still growing leaves so it's been confusing me
Hey, I knew at being a plant mom šæ I canāt figure out what kind of plant this is. I searched it up and I asked people but no one knows. It has purple underneath and itās a foliage. Thanks!šæ
Idk if this is considered foliage, but if you guys watch youtube you should watch HarliG. The growth on my fittonia is only from 3 days of changing how I water this plant, iāve only had her for 10 days but what a difference!!
Does anyone know what type of syngonium this is? I received it as a water propagated cutting that was apparently solid lime green with pink veins (see last 2 photos) in November. Now it is giving me dark green edges of the leaves. It gets bright direct light for about 4 hours and a grow light. I love it either way but Iām curious to know what type it might be š This is my first syngonium.
Monstera is looking good today šš¼šŖ“
I added a spider plant to my small spider plant collection. Itās called an Irish variety (Chlorophytum ComosumĀ 'Irish') Iāve convinced myself itās not just another common reverse variegated variety. The pictures show the common spider plant (Chlorophytum Comosum āReverse Variegatumā) and the Irish variety. The leaves of the Irish appears to grow stiffer and more vertical (like bearded Iris texture) with some stubby older leaves. The common spider plant has a fountain shape as it grows. They have the same leaf markings. So, they look similar from a distance.
Help!!! My palm has spider mites and it spread to my calathea before I caught it. Iām very much natural and organic and Iām not sure what to use. Any home remedies that work? Iāve sprayed the plants down and removed all the dead foliage. Do I need to get all the soil off and repot them with fresh soil and use an insecticide? Any home remedies for insecticides or good clean brands and any tips appreciated. Thanks so much.
Is there anyway of saving this? Every morning Iām pulling 3-4 yellow leaves off. Iām having a hard time figuring out what she needs.
Any advice on how to vacation prep my indoor potted plants? Gone for 8 days and I live in Los Angeles, where we have nice weather. I was looking at using a cotton wick and container of water. Anyone used this before? Any tips? Thank you!
You guys, I need more plantsss!! Ok maybe need is strong word, I WANT more plants. My current issue is that I donāt have many shelves/grow lights. I really have my eye on a mini abloā¦ or something variegated. Tips? Thanks in advance!
Sooooo I guess my dieffenbachia is actually flowering! I thought they were just leaves at first, no wonder theyāve been growing so slow! I can see the top of the flowers and you can clearly see the outline, looking a lot like a peace lily. Kind of bittersweet since I believe itās rare for them to bloom indoors (yay!) but that they often die after floweringā¦ any suggestions on if I should cut it off after it grows? Or just let it be?? Or if itās bound to die??? š
Hey! New owner of FLF, three days ago when I brought it home it was beautiful and shiny. I have it in full sun, it was watered the day I took it home and havenāt watered since. Bottom of pot still has moist soil. Top layer dry. What is going on here? Too much sun? Temperature? Humidity? I know these guys are fickle, I didnāt think it would be unhappy THIS fast.
my carnivorous collection so far! ordered more rare nepenthes so i can have a carnivorous collection inside once the sarracenia are acclimated to outdoor conditions; i canāt spend all my time with themš
Hi all! I just purchased a dieffenbachia (it looked floppy when I got it). Should it be floppy like this or am I doing something wrong/can I fix it? It is partially under a grow light and gets a little bit of sun through those door windows beside the grow light.
Help! First time repotting my plants. I was looking at these compressed coconut brick that super expand,I see on Amazon. Do you recommend these? If not, what then?
Asking for a friend (really!) - my friend wants to buy this plant but she doesnāt know what it is (not labeled) and was wondering if its an easy one to care for. I googled it but none of the searches gave me a specific name, just lumped it under tropical plants. Thank you all!
Hey, my room is pretty dark, and Iām looking for plants that like shade. Anyone know of any plants that prefer shade! Any help would be appreciated thanks!!
Heyy, my air plant has lots of dead looking vines but at the end it has green growth, any advice?
New baby added to the mix š
