Just repotted and divided my monstera!! I’ve had her for a year and knew that she was multiple plants in one pot, but wasn’t expecting this. I knew it was time when some of the leaves started to grow up and over the others (as you can see in the left most pots in these pictures lol)
I am feeling really nervous about the next few days and making sure they stay alive but trying to be optimistic!
Most of the pots have 1 large plant and 1-2 smaller in them.
Some of them I could not tell where the front and back were. I think that after being over crowded in a small pot they started to grow in weird directions out of necessity. Hopefully now that they have their own space they will start to settle.
Also need to get some more poles for them since I was not expecting it to be as many plants as it was!
Let me know how it looks and what we think! (I put a before picture as the last one)

My ficus Benjamina has these singular white specks. I thought it might be a pest but can’t figure it out. They dont move and mostly found at the base of a leaf. I sprayed with soapy neem oil mixture and let it sit for a few days in quarantine but I’m still finding these things on some of the leaves. Any ideas?

I let them try everything that's not toxic so they know that these plants are gross, and their plants (currently, oats and nip) are way tastier. I'm hoping it convinces them to leave my plant babies alone. It's worked, so far, for everything except the spider plant 🤣

Something is damaging my hydrangea tree. I have done close inspection and can find no larvae or other insects or snails but there is *something* causing damage. I’m going to hit it with neem oil but would love if anyone can give me an idea what is causing it or what I should be looking for. Any help would be much appreciated.

I need advice on how to keep my dogs from eating the dirt out of my plants. They don’t eat the plants they tear those out and just eat the dirt.

Does anyone know what kind of plants these are?
I found them at a reptile store and was hoping to put them in my crested geckos new bioactive enclosure. Are they safe to put in?

Meet Sir Percival Thistlewhisk III, Keeper of the Porch Ferns, Steward of the Terracotta Realms, and Honorary Consul to the League of Garden Amphibians.
He told me you can just call him Percy though.
This lil fella turned up in my Thai Con about a month ago. Which is wild, since it lives on the second story screened in balcony. So I named him and told him he could stay but he would have to earn his keep. He eats all the buggies off of my Alocasias.
Anyways- he sleeps in Polly during the day and hunts at night. He also appreciates the lil fountain I thrifted for him.
If anyone has any tips for frog care lmk.

Hello! I was looking to plant some cat grass for my two felons to stop them from eating my spider plant, any recommendations for soil? My concerns are fertilizer and roundworms that are commonly found in soil, does anyone have any experience with this? My vet said my concerns were valid but didn’t know much about plants/soils. Thank you!!

My cat has been causing me trouble the last few weeks by knocking plants down in the middle of the night. I just put together a new plant shelf, so now I have enough space to create her a little sitting spot by my plants so she doesn’t have to knock stuff over to make room! She immediately jumped up to her spot and is so happy! Although she does seem a bit sad that her favorite plant, my money tree, is now out of reach🤣
