This is the plant that gave me SO MUCH HEADACHE this summer. Huge thrips infestation that ultimately impacted SO MANY of my plants. She’s thriving now. But who can tell me what the big, yellowish thing is. There are at least two more (smaller). Not worried, just curious, as they seem a part of the root system.
i planted some tradescantia cuttings i had in water (they had thin roots on) but every cutting just flopped over and the stems went soft, does anyone know why? they’ve all been put in the bin now.
question of the day: what do you do as soon as you get home with a new plant?
I’m not usually a fan of viney plants, but found this pothos in the as-is section of IKEA this morning for $5, so figured I’d try to save it. I also found these cute little glasses there for $1 each. I’m going to use these try out their Odla pellets with some of my smaller plants.
Anyone have an idea of what’s going on with my syngonium podophyllum? I’ve had it for a few months now and I’m new to house plants. It’s not really thriving and just looks poor to be honest.
Why is my snake plant growing like this? The smaller one wont grow!
Anyone know what kind of plant this is? I bought it from Home Depot and it’s been growing like a weed! I’ve tried researching but can’t seem to find anything that looks like it. Thanks in advance!
Inexperienced planter here.. I didn’t notice that my monstera had rooted. It looks like the bottom is dead. I’m assuming I can’t propagate it anymore. Should I just trim off the root?
Ellie isn’t doing so well guys! Help…. I brought her inside since it’s a little cold out. She’s starting to lean and droop :(
Does anyone keep plants in their basement? I live in Michigan and am trying to liven up my basement space. I have 10+ houseplants I keep upstairs and it improves the mood so much. The basement is just a bit drafty, and the windows let in some light- but not much. Would I just be setting the plant up for a quick death? Any thoughts or ideas that have worked?
I asked for 1 money tree for Christmas and I got 2 money trees and like 7 other plants! I’m a beginner and I’m afraid they’re all gonna die before I can figure out how to take care of them. My living room has 4 bug east facing windows so it’s a very sunny room but idk where I can put the “medium light” plants to make them happy. Will they be too dry in the window sill? I need help understanding which parts of this room are good for lots of light, medium light and low light or if some don’t have enough light at all. I marked the areas with colorful circles in case that helps.
Anyone know the name of this plant? I received it as a gift. Thank you!
will this peperomia raindrop leaf propagate? i’ve tried loads and they just rot
will this peperomia raindrop ever recover and grow again? it’s my favourite and this last week all 9 leaves just went and i had to repot it yesterday, and now the last leaf just snapped off.
Hi all. There’s something wrong with my Swedish ivy. She seems to be losing leaves and they feel quite soggy. I don’t know what happened. I haven’t repotted her or done anything different and she was fine for the longest time up until now (first pic is of when she was healthy) Please help. :(
Help! I saw this plant in the background of one of my baby pictures and I really want to identify it! Does anybody have an idea what it could be?
Got some new babies today. The love of my life got me a new plant stand for Christmas so I had to get some new plants for my new stand!
My 2 plant gifts from my kids. One I asked for- the alocasia frydek variegated but the other beauty was a surprise the Anthurium clarinervium. My daughter in law had to bring them on plane from CO to CA. I have them under lights with a humidifier. I hope they thrive.
My pilea seems healthy and even has a pup. But I’m curious why it’s not full like others I’ve seen. It will sometimes lose a lower leaf branch and they don’t grow back. So it now looks more elongated than full. Is this just normal and how they are? Will it take more pups to give it that fuller look?
Alright plant lovers, I need some help! Bernie (my Boston fern over here) is shedding like mad and seems to be yellowing across the whole plant (more in the underside, you can see it on the right closer to the lamp). What can I do to help it thrive? This is my first plant to give me any kind of trouble and I really want to save it before it’s too late 🙏🏻 All feedback is welcome 🤗✨
