Iām a bit unsure about my Stromanthe Triostar. It pushed out one new leaf since I got it, another is on the way, many new roots, and two new rhizomes. However, some of the roots seem to rot anyways, two leaves are yellowing, and Iāve found two mealy bugs. I have it in a mix that is 2/3 coco coir 1/6 perlite and 1/6 coco chips. Am I doing something wrong? Iām using distilled water and watering when itās 2/3 ish dry. I donāt think the root rot is due to drying out too much though because the roots are kinda mushy and melting at the ends. But once again, the plant seems otherwise happy. The only reason I know about the minimal rot is because itās in a clear pot. Itās right in front of an eastern window but has some light blocked because itās over to the far side. What should I do???

Hi all,
Iāve bought my plant around 2-3 weeks ago and although the tag says to water it 2x a week, Planta app said it should be every 12 days, so Iāve been keeping an eye on it so itās not too dry.
Iāve noticed however a few yellow leaves and even with the infrequent watering (making sure the soil is not damp), Planta app said iāve overwatered my plant.
Does anyone know if this is indeed the case?

I usually keep my calathea medallion away from the window because I donāt want to sunburn her leaves, but on some recent rainy days I put her on the sill. Safe to say she LOVED IT.

Iāve got these two gorgeous gals on my north screened lanai in Central Florida. They are thriving and I hope to expand to some other varieties!

My calathea receives filtered light - my snake plants are above her. She looks great on top but the undergrowth is all brown and wilted. I bought a moisture meter and I keep her at about 55 percent humidity. Should I bottom water? Iām confused since both under and overwatering look the same. Help?!?

Wanted to share my lemon lime baby, I believe sheās doing great! Fairly new to prayer plants, open to feedback š±āŗļø

Is this enough light for my rattlesnake calathea? It's in a north facing window and I'd hate for it to revert/fade (do they do that?)

Hi! I just bought this gorgeous plant at the farmers market on Sunday. It was so healthy and happy I knew I needed to incorporate it to my small plant family. Transportation was a little rough but she held up. Five days later, most of her leaves are sagging and Iām not sure why. Sheās in partial sun/shade. The lady told me to water once a week 32 oz. Help! Anyone know what Iām doing wrong?

And hereās my Maranta crew! I have such a soft spot for these plants because before I ever knew how to take care of plants properly, these were some of the few plants that would always thrive with me. They would always be big and have blooms. When they died eventually, it was always because they got infested, and I didnāt know how to properly treat plants for bugs without killing the bugs AND the plant š¤£. I decided to try my luck with them again once I started using Planta. So far so good! š. I even treated myself to a lemon-lime

My Calathea crew - illustris, rosy and medallion. I bought the Medallion from Home Depot and recently noticed almost all the leaves were sagging. It turned out the soil (I think itās peat) had become resistant to absorbing water. Iāve had this problem with a couple other plants I bought there over the summer and each time I didnāt notice until they were completely wilted. I should really get in the habit of repotting their plants once I bring them home.

I have been spending some time thinking my maranta has been struggling. A few of the last leaves were very small, a couple browned and didnāt unfurl.
Then all the sudden I walk up to my plant today and this is what I see! I didnāt know these flower!
Still need to figure out what to do with these browning stems and leaves that stopped growing. But definitely celebrating this little flower right now!

This prayer plant is on steroids!

This is my first calathea! When I repotted this morning, I found that she has been in a dense soil in her nursery pot but her roots were actually really healthy. I've also read that these guys like damp soil. But I'm still worried about root rot. I mixed 1 part its original dense soil mix with 1 part of my usual aroid mix.. Should that be okay?

Hello! I just got this app mostly to find out why my plant is crispy but seemingly healthy otherwise? It has been like this for like a year
I went to my favorite nursery yesterday for some plant therapy and the whole way there I told myself youāre not buying anymore plants, youāre just looking. lol!!! Who was I kidding?!? š when I saw this little bb there was absolutely no way she wasnāt coming home with me. What a BEAUT!!ā Iāve never seen a Mosiaca before! ššš

I am so in love with this Stromanthe Triostar! I bought her with lots of crisping, no new growth, root rot, and mealy bugs. In just two weeks I saw massive improvement and root growth. Now, a month later, the first new leaf is fully emerged. I even see a new rhizome growing (Iām using a clear pot)! I included the other picture so you could see the gorgeous magenta backs āØ

Hey!!!!!!
Dr. Planta says this is from lime sensitivityā¦ but I only use rain water or distilled.
Do yāall think these masks are just from low humidity, or another problem (pest, fungus, etc)
Thanks!!!!
