Any tips on string of pearls? I am trying so hard but it just keeps dying. I’m down to one string, with a few pearls on it. I don’t think I’ve over watered it and it sits in my window all the time.

Hey, this is my purple passion plant she has grown quite a bit and I’ve put some stakes to help support. Should I be trimming or propagating her?

Hello! I’m a beginner plant mom, and I’ve had this pothos since last December and it has been doing great! However I have noticed some droopy leaves. These leaves are fairly new and just budded from the original plant. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what may be causing the droopy leaves and how to fix them!

I know the stem is dead now going to the babies. How do I save the babies? Put them in water to start rooting?

I went to a retreat. Left Saturday, and just got back this morning. I can’t be mad at my fiancé, but I’m definitely sad. He did warn me that a couple of the plants “didn’t look too good”. My poor Silver Nerve Plant. I’m assuming she’s beyond hope? She had no grow light while I was gone. And then I’m assuming she went from underwatered to overwatered. I know my man tried. Ugghh.

Did I use a proper amount of soil to repot my spider plant? She was pretty root bound in her pot and had a little bit of rotted leaves I had to pull off the bottom so her stem/stalk is a little exposed now. Should I add more soil to give a little more stability or do you think she’ll stabilize once her roots get acclimated?

My Haworthia plant sent off a red piece. Should I be concerned about it? Or is it normal?

I over watered my string of pearls. I freaked out after realizing it two weeks later. I switched it to new cactus specific soil, yesterday. It keeps getting worse and worse. What should I do?

Hi guys! I noticed some discoloration on my pepper leaves and then I looked closer and there are these little black bugs crawling everywhere and they are on most of my other plants too. I am not sure how to fix this.

UPDATE: I took her to a local plant shop for emergency advice lol They said she's normal 😆 Is this normal for spider plant roots??? There are multiple roots that are all bulbous and swollen like this.
