This guy. I got a big monstera that was 4 years old no fenestrations and was doing bad. The old owners did not have space for it and it did not have enough light. I kept the plant together but it was dying. I chopped and propped it and hoped it would it would help it. I thought it died in propagation when all of the leaves fell off. I almost gave up on it but I didn’t and I am glad. I have a prop from this plant growing a root.🥲

I got this lemon lime croton like two months ago. Its growth has been astronomical! Prefers rain water but thrives!

Thank you!! This is about a year of growth. I had to chop it all back after severe under watering. Learned my lesson and put it in a chunky soil mix, osmocote fertilizer, kept it in bright indirect light, and kept up on watering. I found that grow lights bleached the leaves and postponing watering until the leaves started to curl was a bad idea lol

I have two cacti and they were doing great, but then they started turning purple-ish and have really improved since then like they are doing much better now and are both green again. Im so happy they doing good,

I forgot to add they look different because they came in a pack but I got it from the store though I don't know if it was a variety

This orchid. Dull leaf from before I bought it (it had been severely dehydrated) and shiny leaf that's grown in since I've been caring for it. It's visibly grateful for the help
