Hey guys, I need help. Got this prayer plant about a year ago and it’s been growing a lot since then. But couple months ago I started to notice some tiny bugs crawling in the soil and have tried some insecticide. They kept coming back, especially after watering. Some leaves have brown tips since I got it back, and now some leaves have brown dots on it. What should I do? Any suggestions?
Got this madagascar palm about 2 years ago now… it’s obviously grown a lot but has not been able to keep new leaves (except one). Ik it is winter now so it may be dormant for a while but any tips on how to make it healthier? Does it need repotted? Fertilizer? I just am not sure.
What plants would be the best in low light and that are relatively small?
Hello everyone! This may seem like a stupid question but I’m a new plant mom with six plants and i’m leaving town for about a week and don’t have anyone to come in to care for them while i’m away… what should I do? or will they be fine?
My beautiful plant has an awkward limb it sticks straight out of the side so I could only put it in certain places because it takes up a lot of room. I would like to propagate it, but I’m very nervous because it is a Big Healthy limb, any advice would be greatly appreciated🤍🌱
I ordered 2 philodendron melanochrysum starter plants from Etsy on October 4th. I never received the plants and got a refund because they were out of stock. Fast forward to tonight. ’m not sure why yet but I received the 2 plants today!! However, I was not made aware that they were coming so I didn’t know they had been delivered. It was 25 degrees here in New York today. The plants were soooooo cold when I brought them in. I hope they survive. Please comment to let me know how I can best go about ensuring that I do everything possible to try and save these poor babies. Any advice appreciated. 💚
This may sound like a dumb question but I’m going to ask it anyway…. I need to increase the humidity level in my plant room. If I start running a humidifier will that cause mold to grow?
Just wanted to share the window of a little shop in Paris..
My air plants bottom leaves are turning brown/yellow and curling up and dying. Not enough water? Not enough light?
Half my peace lily is happy and the other half is sad idk what to do. She’s been like this for weeks and I actually rotated the sad side away from the sun thinking that was the issue but still doesn’t seem to perk up
Hi, any advice please? I have many plants but have never had a terrarium. My friend made me this today. It has succulents/cacti inside. Any advice, tips etc. the succulent (which looks like a money plant to me) has dropped several leaves. The soil is very damp as think they watered today. Obviously no drainage. Am I right in thinking covering the top would be good to create humidity?
While watering my string of pearls today I noticed these. I did not know these flower😮I’m assuming that’s what it’s doing. Is this common for a string of pearls? The flowers smell so good!!!!!
I have this beautiful monstera plant growing and I love it a lot. But it seems to only be growing leaves without holes. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong to not allow it to have mature leaves? I water, mist and fertilize. Any tips?
My fiddle has been having yellow leaves and I’m not sure why. It was growing new leaves pretty often.
I just got this peperomia in October and was really excited to see all these new areas of growth. However, they don’t seem to be unfurling completely and I noticed this morning one of the new leaves dropped off. Is there something I should be changing in its care or am I just being an impatient new plant mom? 🪴✨
My boyfriend brought home this baby!❤️ Never had one so any info/tips would be useful. Thanks!✨
First time posting. I just wanted to share the all-white leaf my White knight Philodendron grew. I’m going to remove the leaf, as it cannot photosynthesize, but it’s pretty nonetheless.
are these axillary buds? my moms albo and thai monsteras are having a hard time putting out new leaves
Lighting issues! My house doesn’t get the best natural lighting coming through and I was wondering what type of lights would be recommended to help keep my plants healthy and thriving!! (I’m new to the plant life and only have a snake plant, philodendron sodiroi, and a few cacti if that makes any difference!!) Thanks in advance :)
To mist or not to mist…what’s the consensus? Do I follow the plants app and mist a good number of plants or not. I mist with distilled water. Someone previously posted that I shouldn’t be misting my Alocasia…what about calatheas, pothos, pilea, etc.? I just added a diffuser to help with humidity and had my husband adjust the humidity level on the furnace.
