    I so struggle with string of pearls, just when I think I got a care plan down for it, it gets all dramatic and doesn’t know if it wants water or doesn’t 🙄 one I absolutely love is the ZZ plant, it’s pushed out two shoots in the last two months and growing taller every day! 😁

    A plant I struggle with is the rattlesnake plant. The leaves were always going brown/crispy on me. I think I finally found the answer - keeping it in just moist sphagnum moss for consistency, and in my greenhouse cabinet for the humidity - so the new leaves are looking great, but it’s still very small and the new growth has been slow A plant that’s always doing wonders is my Monstera! I swear the roots grow a foot every 2 weeks lol

    I absolutely love my lemon lime prayer plant I feel like there are several new leaves every week! Plant I struggle with the most is my Money tree. Every time I think he’s getting new growth, the leaves die off.

    i struggle with my paddle plant… he’s just never been at 100% health so it’s hard to find what’s wrong with him. one i love is my blue chalk stick, all i have to do is water it and it’s the only plant that hasn’t given me any problems 🫠

    I overwatered my peace lily so it is currently really struggling. The weird part is it’s still putting out new leaves so I am a bit hopeful. I really don’t wanna lose this plant because it’s the plant that I’ve had the longest. it was a plant I had back when I really didn’t know anything about plants And weirdly enough it was thriving. But the minute I got into plants I started doing too much with it and now it’s really suffering. One thing I am really doing well with is the majority of my plants are doing very well. They all are shooting out new leaves although my Maranta’s do have a bit of yellowing everyone looks pretty happy

    LOVE my window succulent and my donkey tail! Now miss string of pearls can kick rocks. They are so hard for me. Live, die - I don’t care but it need to pick one and stick to it 😂

      Hahaha love the attitude to string of pearls, part of me wonders if they really do thrive in the wild or if it’s all a lie lol 😂

      It’s been in the window, it’s been in indirect light- it’s been outside. It’s been on my nerves and has had my admonition lol, it’s the worst yet it perks up and shows life when I threaten to toss it out lol

      Ugh yep, exactly, maybe it needs daily threats in order to thrive lol

    Struggle with Aloe Vera! Ends browning and curling! Seems unhappy wherever I put her. Thriving is my Monstera and my Umbrella plants 🪴

    I’m crap at aloe and succulents, I’ve killed so many aloe I can’t even count 😂 Meanwhile I have a just over year old African violet she quadrupled in size and never stops blooming. She’s beautiful and my prized plant possession. 🤩 she is my perfect sweet angel baby.
