I love my jade plant, but I've noticed in the last couple of months (after a strong rain storm) some of the stems/stalks are falling over the edge of the pot. I'm worried that I don't have it set up correctly and want to make sure it's going to continue to grow well. I previously had this pot outside on my front porch and it was really thriving, and now I've moved it back into my front room for the winter (this is its normal spot). While it was outside, a couple of months ago, we had a strong rain storm and after that a couple of the front stems weren't standing up straight anymore but hanging out over the pot edge. I kept an eye on it and continued with Planta's recommendations, and it kept growing just fine. By now I've rotated it around and those stems aren't hanging over the edge, but the stem closest to the light is drooping. Do I just need to get a grow light to get it to continue to grow straight up? Or is this guy just wanting to spread out and I need to change the type of pot I have it in?

Ok so what is the protocol for a self watering pot with a rope like this? I got it on fb marketplace in this little cup and it seems to love soaking the water up but it’s getting this weird white film on the top soil. What does that mean and how often should I fill the water?

What’s wrong with my Venus fly trap this is the second one that it currently looks like I’m killing. Please help.

👋 Plant Newbie here! This is my first time owning Golden Moneywort (got them in about September I believe), she isn’t looking so happy lately. Side note: this is probably 6-8 individual plants in a large pot for my biggest indoor only tree. Is this normal for her? Do I need to trim her back? 😵‍💫🪴 Thanks!

Just got this golden Pothos, but I’m noticing some tiny brown spots on it, should I be worried?

I got a Lantana a little bit ago, but one leaf turned suspiciously yellow and brown.. none of the others are like it. Does anyone know what it is or what I should do?

This new croton looked good when I bought it a few weeks ago, but now it’s rapidly dropping leaves and I’m not sure what’s wrong. I’ve been using a water meter, but it seems to be very unhappy.

I was checking out my Venus fly trap when I noticed a lot of very tiny silver bugs. Are these springtails or soil mites? I know they are hard to see in the photo (circled in red for reference). They did only seem to be climbing throughout the soil and avoiding the plant.

Need to pot this Monstera but looking for insight in how to properly repot. How big of a pot should I use? How high up the plant stalks should the soil go?

I have a new terrarium with a jelly bean plant. There is one stem with no beans and one stem with beans only at the top. This is my first terrarium. What should i do with this plant??

Any ideas what my peace lily is trying to tell me with all these browning leaf tips? I have upped the watering and misting as the weather is turning but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference. Time for the humidifier? My thermostat is reading 63% humidity right now…Could it be over fertilized???

Well I guess it’s time to say good bye to one of my calatheas. I tried everything to save her. My last ditch was to chop off all the leaves as there were all brown and crispy hoping they would return. It’s been a couple weeks and no growth. There’s no green left anywhere. But this cute little mushroom just popped up over night lol. My other calatheas is recovering a lot better and finally is putting out a new leaf.

Hi! Does anybody know what’s wrong with my Kentia palm? Is it under watering? Thanks!

Does anyone know what this is growing out of my snake plant? Or why?

I’m not sure what’s wrong with it, any ideas?

Hi! Someone gave me part of their fully grown mint plant. They pulled a piece from theirs, and it had a good amount leaves and some roots. I placed it in water until I was able to buy soil (2-3 days) and about a week ago I planted it in a ceramic pot with drainage and placed it outside. Since then, the leaves are looking and feeling dry, there are a few that are still soft and not crunchy, and the soil has yet to dry. What did I do wrong? And what do I do now? Please help me.

The last 3 new leaves my Rubber Plant has made have been small, much more warped/mis-shapen, and red. I haven't changed anything in her routine. She's always been in very good health, generally. Any ideas?

Hello! Beginner plant person here. I keep getting a sort of light fuzzy white-grey mold on the top of my potting soil for some of my indoor plants. I recognise it is likely in part caused by overwatering but I’m trying to be more cognisant of how and how much I’m watering my plants and I have been watering them much less frequently (more to the recommended schedule of this app), but I feel like I’m facing the same problem still. I may try repotting them, but should I try a certain type to avoid this problem from reoccurring? What other ways should I alter my watering practices to fix this problem? I also have really hard water—even if that isn’t contributing to this specific issue, is that something I should try to change as well?

Yellow spots on leaves. Is it overwatering ? I have an Alocasia scalprum that started showing bright yellow spots on some leaves soon after I bought it. It’s been about 2 months, and the mottling seems to be spreading. The spots are random across the blade (not from the margins) and don’t follow a neat interveinal pattern. Newer leaves look better but I’m not confident. What I changed: I repotted from the nursery soil into a chunky aroid mix because the original mix seemed to hold too much water.

My Peace Lily is always drooping and I’ve had to remove multiple leaves over the past few days since they’ve been turning yellow or brown, the actual flower hasn’t bloomed and I got it months ago, can anyone help?
