Hey I was wondering if anyone knew how to start a hydroponic plant? I have a beaker for it to go in, but I’m not sure how to get it started. Do I just plant a hydroponic plant (ie. tomatoes, spinach, lavender, catnip, etc) wait for it to grow, then pull a part off at the root and then stick it in water?
Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with my plant? It’s browning on some of the leaves.
Does anybody use a hygrometer for their succulent terrariums? The indoor air is very dry, but the terrarium is retaining moisture because it has condensation at the bottom layer. But it’s open at the top, and I think some of the succulents might be drying out from the top because they’re getting a teensy bit wrinkled. ☹️
I have this plant that I love, but it definitely needs some help. Should I trim it and use the stacked moss poles or try these two small bamboo trellises? Also, does this new pot look too deep? Right now the plant/current moss pole is leaning on the wall. If I turn the pot, it just topples because the moss pole is the bendy kind and I can’t straighten it enough. Thanks in advance!
I need help with figuring out why my peace lily’s flowers are turning brown, it isn’t overwatered , I’ve had her roughly for a month, and this happened out of no where. Should I cut the brown parts off or would they fall off on their own. Please help 😭
Hey y’all! So I bought this giant elephant ear (Alocasia sarian) on a massive sale about a week ago but not too sure how to care for it best. I have read it likes humidity and part sun part shade so I have it in my bathroom where it gets partial light from a southwest window about 6 ft away. I’m concerned it’s not doing to well because the leaves have been yellowing and one of the leaves has started to change color a bit. Any recommendations on how to care for it would be awesome!! also any help or suggestions for the leaves/ tell me if it’s normal or not would be much appreciated!!:))
Anyone know what type of plant this is? I’ve had him for a few years now and I haven’t been able to figure it out.
I need help figuring out what kind of Hoya this is any help would be appreciated!!
I noticed my plant grew two mushrooms. Are these harmful?
My ficus altissima appears to be very happy and healthy. It recently opened up a new bud and the leaf looked great but 3 or 4 days later I found it had dropped. No other issues with the plant. Wondering if anyone might know why? Thanks in advance!
Does anyone know anything about growing potted plants in a vivarium? I think this is sunburnt from the artificial sunlight? Too much water from misting the tank? Any questions, suggestions?
(Me being an obsessive plant parent) About to repot some new plants, and a couple have the tops of their roots exposed above the soil and are dry. Will this pose future problems for the plant/will it be fine once I repot it with topsoil and water? Additionally, how deep into the soil do you usually plant a stem? Concerned about avoiding stem rot while also keeping the plant stable enough (ty in advance - trying to correctly re-learn some houseplant basics haha).
Does anyone know what my alocasia frydek is doing? She pushed these two stems (?) from its newest leaf. Are they flowers? Are they two new leaves? What is she doing? Lol 😂
Does anyone know what’s wrong with my Norfolk Pine? It’s been curling lately and the ends of the branch will sometimes fall off at random or to touch.
Does my panda plant look ok? Does it look like it’s stretching at all? I didn’t think it was as it has many side shoots-top to bottom and all the way around the plant.
I’ve never used fertilizer before, and tried fertilizing my lemon balm plant recently. Today I noticed these white spots - is this salt or something else? What should I do?
Are these black specks on the dried out pieces of sheath along the stem of my Dracaena gold dust/Florida beauty normal? Looks like it could be dirt. Haven’t seen any movement, really hoping it’s not pests!
Hey guys! How you’re well! This pretty lady has been living near a heater for the past 5 months and now is heavily curling and browning. I’ve been misting quite often but it it’s noticeably unhappy. I’ve moved it. My question: should I try along the brown edges, or Leave them alone?
So I was just gifted a cutting of a ghost plant, and I’m wondering what I should do, like what is a good pot for it and what type of soil is best, I know it’s a succulent so it’s durable but I’d like to see it thrive instead of barley surviving
Is it okay to add Osmocote (slow-release) fertilizer to a plant when repotting it? I added it on a couple of my plants when I repotted them recently and now I am a little concerned I probably should’ve waited… 🫣 Picture of my marble queen rooting in water for attention 📸
