FRIDAY!! And it’s here - the weekend when this cutie, and all my other other roommates I have (except for my hubby and daughter), are going to get some new soil. Is anyone else up for the repotting challenge this weekend? 😃🪴

Does anyone else find cats in their outdoor planters? There are a few in my street’s colony that love to dig around, sit, and nap in mine. I almost don’t mind some of my plants getting squished because it’s so cute!

Just curious does anyone use self watering bulbs? Are they a good way to water plants and if so, which kind of plants would do better with them? Found some super cute ones on Etsy but don’t want to buy them if they won’t be an effective way to water
Hiya!
General tip…I’m using little pieces of pipe insulation on my small weeping ficus to “nudge” branches away from each other so their bark isn’t damaged while growing up.

Can you add a way to input starting plants from seed? The initial care schedule will be a bit different as well. Also propagation from cuttings!

Do we have any Staghorn fern fans over here? 👋🌿 I find them to be one of the most forgiving and interior friendly plants. Super easy to grow. I grow mine in epiphytic soil mix and water it on the saucer 🪴 - I also find the scientific name of this species funny: “Super bum” 😂

Plant corner in my living room. The cordyline fruticosa is one of my favorites because it produces such vibrant pink leaves the closer it gets to my grow light. The other cordyline that I keep outside has never grown this big and bright and they’re from the same pot!

Hey! Recently got this orchid and wanted to get opinions. Do these roots look ok? I have them uncovered so I can more easily see when she needs water. Any advice for a new orchid parent?

Just wanted to show off my new anthurium Besseae leaf because it is soooo beautiful and I am obsessed 😍😍😍

Easygoing plants that I have not yet seen on any “easy plant” lists yet. 1: Creeping saxifrage/Strawberry begonia This guy is persistently happy despite suffering through fungus gnats and possibly spider mites. I’ve never even seen so much as a dead leaf. 2: Syngoniums. I have three of them and they’re all doing insanely well, even though they’ve also suffered through spider mites and gnats. That’s pretty much the case for all of these. I can’t get rid of the dang gnats :( 3: Bird’s nest fern. I’ve had this fern for at least four years. It’s in a pot with no drainage and I probably severely underwatered and generally mistreated it at several points during its life, but it’s still happy.

This weekend’s plant haul! I got a philodendron micans, a string of pearls, a stromanthe tricolor, and a cactus that I have yet to identify :) Sorry for the bad lighting 🙃

Back in May I ended up being gone almost a whole month and couldn’t water my Brazilian philodendron. It used to be so bright and beautiful and has just shriveled away over the last year. It had been in an 8” pot because it was fairly big, and now all that’s left is a tiny sprout. I’ve never repotted a plant backwards (going from a bigger pot to smaller one). People have mentioned root rot but I can’t tell what that looks like. I moved this sprout from the 8” to the 6” pot today. Can anyone tell me if this was the right move? Can you tell if there was root rot from before? I’ve had philodendrons and pothos now for 2 years but still feel like a beginner. Thanks!!

I have an heirloom philodendron that I recently repotted. She’d been in terra cotta for years and I switched her into a fancier pot, but she’s seemed stressed and droopy in comparison to thriving for so long. Do I switch back to terra cotta? Or is something else to blame?

Instead of putting a plant in the Graveyard and not being able to bring it back into the live plant list…I created a special “room” category called “Hospice”. That way if it miraculously recovers…I can move it back into the list of living plants.
