Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my pest control regime… it’s super easy and effective for thrips and spider mites. I add clove (10-20 drops), rosemary (10-20 drops) and mint (5-10 drops) essential oils to water and mist weekly. When I had a thrip outbreak in the summer I watered with the mix for two waterings and it was the only thing that worked 🤓🪴

Wondering if my ruby cascade is getting enough light. Looks a little etiolated to me and I think the reds aren't as saturated as they could be - but I'm not sure. She's about three feet from an east window, but I could put her in a hanger 2 feet closer. Opinions please!

Rescued from IKEA. Initially straight up, but for the first month, it tilted directly towards the sunlight. Was told to rotate, but that was about 3 months ago. Dont know if it’s okay and hibernating for the winter, or there’s a real problem. Please help, thanks.

Hiya I’m trying to propagate my Claudia but sadly the cuttings appear to be rotting at the bottom - they’re in water. Any idea why/what I’m doing wrong? Thanks!

Hi I over fertilized my Sago Palm about a year ago and she still hasn’t recovered. She has lost a couple of leaves because of it. Is there any thing I can do?

My Calathea isn’t doing so great and I’m not sure why! She was about 3 feet from a window for the last couple of months so I moved her to the window sill and the leaves are getting even crunchier on the edges… help 😬

Hey people, I got this succulent a few months ago from Spain, and ever since i got it home it’s been dropping leaves like mad 😭! Does anyone know what it’s called or how to help it be happy? Any help is much appreciated x

I got an early Christmas present from my mum, super excited! It’s a Swiss Cheese, and it’s the biggest plant I’ve had yet. For now, I’ve placed it in front of my dollhouse (I like to collect tiny things and decorate the house, it’s actually pretty fun lmao) temporarily before I find a proper spot for them. If there’s any major tips, please tell me them! I have not watered but the soil is damp, and seems watered. Do they like misting? Any specific care details ? I’m planning to repot them when I get the chance, so yup.

Anyone know what is wrong with my peace lily? I’ve had her for about a year and she’s lost her fullness and the new flowers tend to brown and crisp before they even fully bloom

Hi everyone! This is Jean Pierre and I don’t know what he is : plant identifier says corn plant but I’ve had him for 8 months and he’s not been terribly well. I’m thinking it may be because he’s not actually a corn plant and needs better soil ect. What are your thoughts?

I have noticed this started happening to my umbrella tree, any idea what could have caused it? I repotted it in a draining pot and last watered it 7 days ago, I’m thinking I don’t wanter it enough but I don’t want to overwater it either

My aloe is super spread out but none of the leaves are squishy, brown etc. is it healthy/normal?

When I brought this one home yesterday, she was root-bound (forgot to take the pic🫣) with roots protruding through the bottom of the pot (forgot to take another pic🤦🏽‍♂️). Repotted her this afternoon and hoping she doesn’t go into shock. Any tips for loosening the soil from a severely tangled root system? I hope I didn’t hurt her too much today. 😓🙏
