Hey yall. Wanted some advice.
Unfortunately my aloe plant got knocked over, and while I was repotting it I noticed that the outer leaves were starting to fade a bit. I got this plant last week, and havenât watered it yet because the soil it came in was completely drenched. It sits on my balcony where the sun is directly on it for about 8 hours. Should I go ahead and cut these leaves away, or is there still time to save them? The shorter one does look like it sustained some damage in the fall.

I just got a string of pearls and Iâve heard that they are hard to take care of. Iâm not sure if planta will be good because Iâve had some issues before. Should I trust planta and put her into a schedule or do it my self?
Does anyone know what kind of plant this is? My friend is askingâŠI think its some sort of succulent?

For the planta app I use liquid fertilizer in my water. However, it has me water one day and the next day it says it needs fertilizer. Is there any way to fix this? Cause then I have to check the plants each day to see if they need fertilizer too.

Calathea rhizome spotted at the bottom of my pot. Is it time for a repot?
This is all i can see at the bottom, no other visible roots or rhizomes. Iâve got some browning leaves and wonder if it may be because itâs due for a repot? Also, if i were to repot, what size would be best? Itâs currently in a 6â pot. Thank you!

I am planning on leaving my beloved green friends for a short period of time. At this point, they donât have a plant sitter as she is pregnant. Iâm looking for a self watering system for in-home use. Water globes, and bottles attached to watering stakes may not offer the plant enough water, or so Iâve been told. Could you give me any advice on an item that would serve this purpose well? I like the idea of a plant being watered as it needs it rather than getting water as programmed since Iâm afraid of getting a plant too wet. However, Iâve been told that self watering devices may not give enough water to moisture loving plants. What a conundrum! TIA for any comments on the following or maybe better ideas.

Any tips for dealing with spiders around houseplants? Not spider mites Iâve seen them there is a several small spiders in my apartment and they are starting to create webs around my plants. I donât like spiders and would prefer if they werenât inside at all but especially not around my plants that I am constantly monitoring and checking on.

Hey! Iâm wondering if anyone has any tips for moving house with plants? For example, packing them, placing them, watering etc.
The plants I have are:
Kentia palm
Parlor palm
Money tree
Snake plant
Calathea
Birds of paradise
Indian Laurel
Money plant
Some snowball succulents
Mitre Aloe
Spider plant
Pineapple plant
Dormant moth orchid
Theyâre all mostly in great condition and really happy where they are placed. Iâm worried that the house move will interrupt them. At the moment a lot of my plants are in an attic room and they get a good amount of light. In the new place there is a conservatory, and plenty of light and shady places for them to sit!

Hi! I have this string of bananas/fishhooks and itâs been growing great, when all the sudden i notice one of its trails has died at the start. Super soft and soggy feeling, and just wanted to make sure this isnât cause for overlying concern/if i should pull it or let it stay. New growth is starting to the right of it so i think the plant is still healthy. I canât lose this plant sheâs too pretty đ

When you buy a new plant thinking itâs an âeasy care,â then look it up on Planta & see âHard.â đ

I love the feeling of watching the fungus gnats on my plants get increasingly more confused as more and more of their comrades and babies die one by one.
anyway hereâs my plant master oogway (my phone camera isnât great so donât mind the quality)

Any advice for how to quarantine plants ?? Iâm learning the hard way that itâs best to quarantine new plants đ” one of my plants has thrips and I think it spread to some of my other nearby plants - how far away do these plants need to be from others while quarantining ? Do they need to be in a separate room or is ~6 ft away okay ??

Hi! Any thoughts on how/when to use hydrogen peroxide and isopropyl alcohol with plants ?? Iâve taken propagated plants out of my prop box after a month or so of propagating and most of the plants are healthy and rooted, but there was definitely mold in the box so things are not smelling great. I donât want mold to grow on the plants when I plant them, but I donât want to misuse chemicals and accidentally kill my plants đ”
