Is anyone familiar with growing from tc (tissue culture)? Just won a couple at an online auction to see how it will go and I’m looking for any advice and tips you all might have. Did some research but I always prefer first hand knowledge. Thanks!
I have all but given up on my poor fiddle leaf fig, she has a total of 5 leaves left, do we think a chop is worth it and how should I go about doing that, thank you in advance!!!
Why do my Thanksgiving cactus turn thin and purple? They live in an east facing windowsill (just placed here for the picture).
Finally planted some Coleus along the border of my flower beds. Praying they survive 🙏🏼
I bought it end of January, just the root and stems from Walmart. It was still to cold to plant so waited till the end mid Feb as a valentine's gift. It's been a month and nothing has grown. I let it sit in water for about 12 hrs then potted and watered.its in a 18in pot with regular potting soil What am I doing wrong? What should I do differently? I really want it to bloom. Please any help.
My limelight Dracaena has this strange mottling appearance on the leaves, anyone have any insight? Water 1x a week with distilled water and half strength fertilizer, positioned approx. 60 cm from my tall and narrow west facing window. The leaves have been growing in like this for about 8 months now.
I have had this marbled pothos for about 2 years now. It’s not unhealthy as far as I can tell and definitely puts out lots of big leaves. I however have two questions. I’ve noticed that the new leaf coloration vs the old leave from before I brought it home is very different and I was just wondering if it changed because I am not giving it enough light or something. Second ive noticed that almost ever single leaf on it has much more of a cup/ round shape compared to my regular pothos. Now as far as I know that round thing is normal but I was just worried I was doing something wrong for all the leaves to be cupped like this.
Does anyone confidently know the specifics of how to prune a coffee plant? Thank you
Hello all Today I noticed these “bites” on the leaves of this corn plant. I inspected for insects but didn’t find anything. Any idea of what’s causing this? The top leaves are fine. Thanks
Watering and wiping down the leafs are done for the week! I just love my little jungle 🥰🥰🥰
They are almost here!!! I must be doing something right!
Hello everyone, I’m sure all of you are familiar with the little white spots in Jade from calcium in the water. For the past three or four months I have been watering my Jade with distilled water, and most of the time with 1/2 strength foliage pro (super thrive) added. I’m starting to get concerned with nutrient lockout by watering with distilled consistently. Would you suggest switching to spring water to avoid this?
Hi Planta, I’m writing to inform you that I wish to cancel my subscription to planta. I have no further need for this service. I thank you for your help.
Hi plant parents 🌿 I need a bit of advice for my fiddle leaf fig. A few of its leaves have developed brown patches, and I’m not sure what to do. Should I trim off the affected leaves? Or is there something else I should try first? Any tips or experience would be much appreciated. Thank you! 💚
Plant fact of the month-aquatic plants- Most life on earth came from the sea,it’s the perfect temperature most of the time,there’s hiding spots everywhere,and there are no restrictions to how things can evolve and grow.however, on land,creatures need to hide from intense heat, potentially dehydrating,and they have to have special adaptations to survive.like how plants on land are hard and have many leaves.however in the sea,plants can be long and weak or short and feathery, and can even be in wide variations of colors.
I have a variegated gloriosum (that randomly gained variegation) and there for has low variegation, i was wondering what kind of tips you have to gain more? i have it directly in front of a grow light and on the other side of it is a east facing window. i took a prop because it got thrips so im worried that will stunt the variegation. i’ve gotten rid of them in pretty sure and since i took a cutting there is two new growth points pushing out leaves at the same time. being impatient i unraveled one of the leaves and i see some variegation already but it looks less than the last leaf.
Does anyone have a plant called Medinilla Magnifica? (Pic below) I bought a seedling and it’s growing well, and I want some tips on when I can see some flowers. Thanks
Hello all I have a few orchids that are not doing great. The picture on the left shows the best plant, on its prime moment. After months like that, the flowers died before opening up. The other plants are slowly dying, losing leaves and not shooting any new roots or leaves. The plant on the right is like this for years now. I use an orchid fertilizer, and change the substrate every year-ish. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
