Dream plant acquired: Variegated String of Hearts! 💚💖 My dad keeps feeding into my plant addiction. Which is good, because my husband won't as much anymore 😹 Anyways, this little v.SOH is from my dad, he even got the pot for it. Both from a local plant shop. I love this little cutie so much!
My Aglaonema is blooming!
FRIDAY! What are your plants for the weekend? 😍🪴 I’m gonna turn this shelf into a home for seedlings and cuttings with a heating mat and some grow lights. Wish me good luck 😅
My first DIY moss pole!!! i think i made it a little on the larger side but i feel like that’s better than smaller!!
I have a red leaf banana plant that I adore and it was full and doing great, then the tip of the leafs started browning and drying out so I had to cut off a bunch of leafs. Now I only have one healthy leaf left! Pls help me save this baby!! I’m open to any advice!
Cactus flowers have bloomed!
I’m moving soon and my plants will be adopted by friends since they can’t come with me 🥺💔 Any tips on how to make the transition to their new home as seamless as possible? 🙏🏻 I’m hoping since we’re closer to Spring and it’s already getting warmer where I live, the adjustment will be easier but would love if anyone has recommendations!
Hello! I recently repotted my Monstera Deliciosa, as I knew it had been potbound for a while (roots growing out of drainage holes, plus being able to remove entire root ball from the growers pot to see the coiling) but had started to show more signs (lower leaves growing smaller and turning yellow, soil drying out in a few days, etc). I used a chunky mix of moisture control potting mix + perlite + orchid bark and went up about 3” in pot size; also giving it a moss pole to climb and securing it with Velcro. Put it back in the same bathroom windows. But it’s been about 3 weeks and it almost looks worse. :( Help!
Oops! Somehow a lil monstera found its way into Meryl Streep, my philodendron 😅
My Anthurium warocqueanum went from this (first photo) to this (second photo). All because of thrips. However, after treating it by giving it a soaking bath in neem oil solution, repotting it and releasing predatory mites, it has started to sprout. I’ve seen a few juvenile thrips, newly hatched out of the leaves of the plant, but they quickly disappeared. So I think the mites are working pretty well 👏
having a hard time identifying this new baby.. it's got 2 rounded wrinkle leaves coming off the same stem. i get a different answer every time i scan it
Hello everyone! I was hoping I could get some advice for fungus gnats. I had purchased contaminated soil from a big box store, big mistake. Any way long story short I have used sticky straps in my plants. I got rid of most of them but it’s been a couple of years and I can’t seem to get rid of them completely. Any advice is truly appreciated!
What a weekend! I got a cactus garden yesterday! I love it so much! 🌵💚 This morning I repotted my Cylinder Snake Plant because it was long overdue. She had thicc juicy roots and the babies were bursting out of the pot! The picture of it in the small blue pot is from the day I got it last year. She and her babies finally have room to breathe! Did y'all get and/or do any planty things this weekend? 😄🪴
Can I use ivory bar soap to make an insecticide?
Are these little spots on my philodendron normal? What are they? Plant is otherwise healthy and growing great but just started noticing these popping up on older leaves
Help with succulents and “string of”!!!!!! First, my succulents are always getting etiolated even when under grow lights all day!!!! I got an old lady cactus and it looks like a weird cone now. And I’m always so scared to water them!!! I don’t have “good draining” soil no matter how hard I try And I cannot keep “string of” things happy no matter what I do. They’re always drying out or rotting away. I had a string of hearts that was beautiful and when I saw it had a low of water stuck in the soil because it was root bound, I repotted it and now it’s down to a few straggly pieces that are wrinkled but I’m scared to water them because I don’t want them to die!!! Help!!!!
Plant resurrection story!! In August, my husband gave me a big, lush, beautiful Hawaiian Ti plant, that within a few weeks developed a mite infestation and no amount of bathing or doctoring seemed like it was going to save it. It had 3 stalks, and after a little research indicated they could be water propogated, I took a desperate stab and chopped the 3 stalks off to propogate 3 plants (hoping at least one would survive.) All three developed roots, and I put one in dirt and kept 2 in water. The one I potted, died. For months, the water-based ones didn’t get better, but they didn’t get worse? But now! The older leaves are a little crispy at the edges, but WE HAVE NEW LITTLE SHOOTS!!! I think they might make it!
Hello Planta Community! Incoming cactus flowers!
I’ve had this hibiscus for 7 years, it was my first plant and I mistreated it for years. It’s looked left for dead after spider mite infestations that required warm baths to remove, I didn’t fertilize it for years, had it in the wrong soil type - but now I’m strictly following the planta advice as of the fall and it’s been looking better than it was. Think there’s a chance it starts growing a lot come springtime? Should I consider propagating some of the branches? Any recommendations are welcome. It does have a lot of sentimental value.
Help! This fella seems to be shedding loads of leafs lately. What can I do to help it out?
