Hope your string of pearls does better ### send\_nodes commented on 2024-06-25 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 #### StringofMonsteras replied on 2024-06-25 Mine too! ### GratefulGardener commented on 2024-06-25 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. ### KaeBates commented on 2024-06-25 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 🫠 ### Chantell commented on 2024-06-25 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 ### StringofMonsteras commented on 2024-06-25 My peace lily is also my oldest plant ! I managed to get her back in control! ### LeeAnn commented on 2024-06-25 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 😂 #### Alyssa replied on 2024-06-25 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 😂 #### LeeAnn replied on 2024-06-25 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 #### Alyssa replied on 2024-06-25 Ugh yep, exactly, maybe it needs daily threats in order to thrive lol ### Plant Mumma commented on 2024-06-25 Struggle with Aloe Vera! Ends browning and curling! Seems unhappy wherever I put her. Thriving is my Monstera and my Umbrella plants 🪴 ### Josie commented on 2024-06-25 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. #### Cait2k3 replied on 2024-06-25 Me too.
