Hey friends! I have this polka dot plant, and I’ve had it maybe a month. I have it in a pretty small nursery pot because the root ball isn’t all that big. My question is why do the roots keep growing straight down, instead of wrapping around the pot? About a week ago, I pulled it out of the pot and raised it up a bit due to the roots poking out of the bottom. And a week later (today) there are more roots sticking out of the bottom. Being in a clear pot I am able to see the roots and they are just growing straight down. What would cause this? And what should I do? I feel going up in pot size won’t help the problem, and this isn’t enough roots to justify it. I do have it on a pebble tray, could this be why?

Another question. This is a Peperomia Marble that I just got about 4 hrs ago. I had to take the bus home and she got exposed to about 8degreeF weather for a total of 10 minutes maybe. Is she dying on me??? I would understand why . What should I do? First pic is taking her home, second is now

Is this baby plant the same as the adult plant? Also this baby has barely grown since July. I have also fertilized it. Any tips to get it to grow?

Hi to all! 😊 I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year so far. I have this house tree/palm and I am having a difficult time finding the exact name for it. It is not a ponytail palm and it is not a dragon tree. 🌴Please let me know if you have any other ideas. 🙏🏽

Kind of a dumb question, but I received this plant by mail, is the mossy stuff just part of the travel packaging or does it remain???

I struggle with depression and just recently fell into a depressive episode. my plants have severely taken a hit from this. Its such a surreal feeling taking care of plants that have been dying due to your depression. my plants have been pretty resilient, and survived and honestly thrived considering their conditions. luckily none of them have died. does anyone have any advice on continuing plant care even through depressive episodes?

Does anyone know what kind of pole this is or where to find it? I would like to attach another on top because the vines are starting to drop back down since there’s nothing left to climb, but I can’t seem to find this pole anywhere. I got it from a farmer’s market that’s located far from me so I can’t go back and ask the grower. *edit* Well, I feel silly. Upon further inspection, I realized this is a styrofoam pole covered in dirt. Anyone have experience with this? Not sure if I should attempt to take it off or leave it as is.

I’m pretty sure this plant isn’t going to make it… it seems to have root rot. Any way I can save it?

New baby to the family

I’m very much a novice in the plant world. I bought 3 new plants and am wondering how soon I should repot them from the plastic they came in. Also, how to determine the correct pot size. As a newbie, I’d appreciate any guidance!

I got a new grow light for my plants because it’s so gloomy and rainy. Hopefully they do well this winter.

Hey everyone, I need your help on telling me what kind of plant this is please. I got it from a friend and she didn’t even know what it was. It’s very hard it looks like there is some new growth. I took it out of a pot that was drowning in it. Thank you for all your help. Ps…. The app says it’s a false Christmas cactus. But it doesn’t look like that in a photo.

After learning about Pro-Tekt 0-0-3 silicon solution for plants I got some. Could someone provide info on how you use this? I have some hydroponic some semi and most plants in specialized soil. Thanks!
